RESOLUTION NO. 6162 (MINUTE ACTION)
OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CUPERTINO
RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL CONSIDER SAFETY,
ENVIRONMENTAL, AND ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES IN THE
CIVIC CENTER PROJECT
SECTION I: PROTECT DESCRIPTION
Application: U-2002-07, EA-2002-12
Applicant (s): City of Cupertino
Property Location: APN#: 369-31-033 -10300 Torre Avenue - Cupertino Civic
Center
SECTION II: ACTION
The Planning Commission of the City of Cupertino recommends that the City
Council consider the following elements in the design of the Civic Center project:
■ Approval of this project does not include approval of a book drop-off. The
Planning Commission is concerned that a book drop-off will encourage
unnecessary automobile trips through the parking lot, creating a hazardous
situation for pedestrians and bicyclists.
■ Additional trees should be planted as mitigation for the trees to be removed.
Donations from persons or organizations could be an option to get additional
planting on the site at a reduced cost.
■ Daylighting and passive solar techniques (including solar-driven shades and
lighting controls) should not be compromised in the plan.
■ Cost evaluation of the Civic Center project should consider the trade-off,
between the upfront capital costs versus the savings in operating costs, of
incorporating energy-saving/recyclable products and measures.
■ The City should seek grant funding for creek restoration and a trail along
Regnart Creek.
