PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. � Agenda Date: March 23, 2010
Application: GPA-2010-01
Applicant: City of Cupertino
Location: Heart of the City Specific Plan area
Application Summary: General Plan amendment to amend the Land Use Map and
associated language in the Land Use/Community Design Element of the General Plan
for consistency with the recently updated Heart of the City Specific Plan.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Cominission recommend that the City Council:
1. Amend the General Plan Land Use Map to be consistent with the updated Heart
of the City Specific Plan boundaries and to remove areas outside of the City of
Cupertino limits; and
2. Amend maps and language in the Land Use/Community Design Element of the
General Plan to Ue consistent with tlle updated Heart of the City Specific Plan

BACKGROUND
On FeUruary 16, 2010, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 10-2055 to update the
Heart of the City Specific Plan. In addition to changes that were made to update the
policies and the development and design standards in the specific plan, the Council
decided to revert the boundaries of the Heart of the City area Uack to the boundaries
prior to the 2005 General Plan (See Heart of the City Land Use Map in Attachrrtent 1).
On March 16, 2010, the City Council conducted a second reading of the ordinance.
Therefore, the ordinance approving the updated Heart of the City Specific Plan,
including the boundary changes, is anticipated to become effective 30 days after the
second reading, which is Friday, April 16.

DISCUSSION
General Plan Land Use Map
The current General Plan Land Use Map (See Attachment 2) reflects the Heart of the City
boundaries Uased on the 2005 General Plan update. Therefore, an amendment is needed
to incorporate the newly updated Heart of the City Specific Plan boundaries. The
proposed General Plan Land Use Map (see Exhibit A of the Model Resolution) includes
the following amendments:
1. Include the pre-2005 General Plan Heart of the City boundaries and the special center
areas of South Vallco Park, City Center, De Anza College, and the South De Anza
Boulevard Conceptual area. Additionally, the area of the Glenbrook Apartments was
added into the updated boundaries. The updated Heart of the City boundaries
encompasses a total of 635 acres.
2. Amend the Quasi-Public/Institutional land use designations for properties identified
as St. Joseph of Cupertino Church and Parish (10110 N. De Anza Boulevard), Union
Churcll of Cupertino (20900 Stevens Creek Boulevard) and Happy Days C11ild
Development Center (10115 Saich Way) to Commercial/Office/Residential to match
the predominant land use designation for the Heart of the City area. This amendment
will also make the land use consistent with the updated Heart of the City Specific
Plan and zoning for these properties. These properties are all zoned P(Mixed Use
Plarined Development) which is the predominant zoning designation for the Heart of
the City. These amendments are not considered substantive since they do not affect
the existing uses on the properties. The updated Heart of t11e City Specific Plan
includes provisions to allow these church uses to continue. Additionally, day care
uses are permitted in the Heart of the City area.
3. Remove properties along South De Anza Boulevard Uetween Bollinger Road and
Highway 85 that are not within t11e City of Cupertino limits. This is proposed as a
general clean up item from the 2005 General Plan update and is not a substantive
change to the General Plan.
Lrznd Use/Community Design Element
In the Land Use/ Community Design Element of the General Plan, pages 2-5, 2-19, 2-23,
2-24 and 2-25 (See Attachment 3) will need to be modified to Ue consistent with the
updated Heart of the City boundaries. These changes are incorporated into the ainended
Land Use/ Community Design Element (See Exllibit B of the Model Resolution) and
consist of:
• Page 2-5 - Modified the Community Form map to reflect the updated Heart of tlle
City boundaries, and to remove areas that are outside of the City of Cupertino liinits
on S. De Anza Boulevard Uetween Bollinger Road and Highway 85.

boundaries.
• Page 2-23 - Modified the.key map for the Heart of the City section in Policy 2-27 to

• Page 2-23 - Removed Strategy 1 under the Heart of the City section since the revised
Heart of the City Specific Plan has recently Ueen approved. Renumbered the "Traffic
Calming" strategy as Strategy 1.
• Page 2-24 -]:ncluded a minor grammatical correction in the Shared Parking strategy.
• Page 2-25 - Modified the boundaries for the Heart of the City Specific Plan area to Ue
consistent with the newly adopted Specific Plan.
• Page 2-25 - Under the Design Elements section of Stevens Creek Boulevard, modified
the language to be consistent with language in the Heart of the City Specific Plan.
• Page 2-25 - Under the Vallco Park South section, removed Strategy 1 pertaining to
preparation of a master plan, since the South Vallco Master Plan has already been
prepared and adopted.
