APPLICATION SUMMARY
Historic Preservation Policy and related General Plan Amendments, Application No.
GPA-2010-02, City of Cupertino, Citywide.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the Historic Preservation
Policy and related General Plan Amendments.
BACKGROUND
On January 8, 2007, the City Council directed staff to prepare a Historic Preservation
Policy as part of the work program for 2007-OS. The Council was interested in a more
proactive approach to preserve existing buildings working with the Historical Society
and other community groups. On May 5, 2008, the City Council formed the Ad Hoc
Historic Preservation Advisory Cominittee. The Ad Hoc Committee consists of one
member from the Historic Society and two City residents.
Methodology
The Ad Hoc Historical Preservation Advisory Cominittee held regular bi-weekly
meetings at City Hall from June 2008 through November 2008. The purpose of the
meetings was to update and re-evaluate the existing historical site list in the General
Plan, and the historical sites listed in the 1997 Historical Report. The Committee was
also charged with providing a list of additional historical resources significant to
Cupertino's past. Committee members worked individually or as a team in collecting
information, visiting sites for a photographic survey and evaluating the current
condition of the buildings.
To assist in the evaluation of sites, the Cointnittee utilized the Historical Designation
Criteria provided by staff (See Attachment 1). The Historical Designation Criteria is a
list of clear standards that allows for a variety of resources to be considered for
aesthetic, historic, social, cultural, economic, and other reasons specific to Cupertino's

history. The standards were drawn from local, state and national designation criteria
listed by the State of California Office of Historic Preservation.
Once all the sites were researched, they were evaluated for their historical significance
by determining if the site met one or more of the criteria. If the site met any one of the
criteria, preservation or commemoration was determined. The recommendations
chosen are intended to ensure that any change to the resource would not create a
substantial adverse impact to the historical resource, or that appropriate
commemoration is provided to capsulate the history.
A total of eleven (11) sites were chosen by the Committee. These sites are in addition to
the existing historic resources list in the General Plan. A summary table has been
prepared that includes all existing and proposed historical resources, criteria met by the
sites and recommendations for preservation/commemoration (See Attachment 2).
City Council Authorization
On Apri120, 2010, the City Council reviewed and authorized staff to move forward
with the Historic Preservation Policy and related General Plan Amendments.

Ad Hoc Historical Preservation Advisory Committee Recommendations
1) New Historic Sites
Add the following sites to the Historic Sites list in the General Plan:
i. Glendenning Barn (10955 N Tantau Avenue - Hewlett Packard)
ii. Miller House (10518 Phil Place): Although Council did not want to include
residential properties; this residence was already determined to be a historical
resource as part of a previous development application (Application No. 6-U-94,
1-Z-94, 2-TM-94), with conditions of approval to retain the historical status
through continuous preservation methods. As part of that approval, a historical
plaque was also placed on the house.
Recommended Preserv�ztion Actions:
a) Initiate rehabilitation and restoration efforts consistent with the Secretary of
Interior's Standards for Treatment of Historic Properties for structures owned by the
City of Cupertino in order to retain their historic significance.
b) Initiate an active partnership with private, public, and quasi-public owners of
historical sites to rehabilitate, or restore the buildings consistent with the
Secretary of Interior's Standards for Treatment of Historic Properties for public
or semi-private occupancy in order to retain their historic significance.
c) Allow public access to public and quasi-public historical sites to foster public
awareness and educational opportunities.

4) Review and Update List - The historical resource list should be periodically
reviewed and updated. New resources may be discovered, or some that were
omitted may assume a new significance.
5) Community Landmark Sites - Retain the existing Community Landmarks in the
General Plan.
Environmental Review
The proposed Historic Preservation Policy is considered Categorically Exempt based on
Article 19, Section 15331 of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Consequently, the project is not subjected to the environmental review provisions of
CEQA.
Authorization of the General Plan Amendments
Based on the recommendations of the Historic Preservation Ad Hoc Committee, the
following modifications to the existing Historic and Cultural Resources Section of the
General Plan are proposed (additions are shown in underline font and deletions are
noted as strikeouts). They are intended to provide clear guidance to decision-makers,
staff and the public when reviewing the resources
The current Historic Resources Map includes two categories, the Community
Landmarks and Historic Sites. Therefore, an amendment is needed to incorporate the
newly updated Historic Site list, and the incorporation of the Commemorative and
Honorable Mention Site list.
1. Amend Polici� 2-62: Rehabilitation of Historic Sites
• Projects on Historic Sites shall meet the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for
Treatment of Historic Properties and provide a plac�ue, reader board and/or
other educational tools on the site to explain the historic si�nificance of the

Creek Boulevard and Anza Boulevard crossroads of Saratoga-Sunnyvafe Road (now De Anza Boulevard) and Stevens Creek Boulevard. It was first known
De Anza Boulevard as West Side; but, by 1898 the post office at the Crossroads needed a new name to distinguish it from other similarly
Intersection named towns. John T. Doyle, a San Francisco la�rvyer and historian, had given the name Cupertino to his winery in
recognition of the name bestowed on the nearby creek by Petrus Font. In 1904 the name �vas applied to the

CITY COUI\TCIL S�'AFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. L� Agenda Date: April 20, 2010
APPLICATION SUMMARY
Consider authorizing staff to move forward with the Historic Preservation Policy and
related General Plan Amendment, Application No. CP-2007-03, City of Cupertino,
Citywide.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recominends that the City Council authorize staff to znove forward with the �
Historic Preservation Policy and related General Plan Ainendment.
BACKGROUND
On January 8, 2007, the City Council directed staff to prepare a Historic Preservation
� Policy as part of the work prograin for 2007-08. The Council was interested in a znore
proactive approach to preserve existing buildings working with the Historical Society
and other coinmunity groups.
Ad Hoc Historic Preservation Advisory Committee
On February �9, 2008, the City Council directed staff to define a comrnittee of five to
seven persons, of which two to three were from the Historical Society with a majority of
the Historical Society members being residents. The City Council also directed staff to
solicit Cupertino residents through outreach, including a press release. Based on the
outreach, staff received four applications, two Historical Society members, and two
Cupertino residents. On May 5, 2008, t11e City Council formed the Ad Hoc Historical
Preservation Advisory Committee appointing committee members: Helen Davis &
George Monk. On June 2, 2008, Mil<e Sanchez was also appointed to the Ad Hoc
Historical Preservation Advisory Committee.
The City Council provided the Ad Hoc coininittee with the tollowing parameters:
1. Liinit the policies to Public/Semi-Public and Comrnercial Properties
2. Update and re-rank the existing historic structure or site list

3. Define a public hearing, review, and noticing procedure process, which includes the
involvement of property owners
4. Define the potential methods of preservation:
✓ Physical preservation or relocation
✓ Commemorative measures (plaques or pictures, recycle building or architectural
materials/ elements)
✓ Proper disclosure of significance (special zoning or covenants)
DISCUSSION
Methodology
The Ad Hoc Historical Preservation Advisory Committee held regular bi-weekly
meetings at City Hall from June 2008 through Noveinber 2008. The purpose of the
meetings tivas to update and re-evaluate the existing historical site list in the General
Plan, and the historical sites listed in the 1997 Historical Report. The Committee was
� also charged with providing a list of additional historical resources significant to
Cupertino's past. Coininittee members v��orked individually or as a team in collecting
infornzation, visiting sites for a photographic survey and evaluation of existing
conditions,
To assist in the evaluation of sites, the Comznittee utilized the Historical Designation
Criteria provided by staff (See Attachment A). The Historical Designation Criteria is a
Iist of clear standards that allows for a variety of resources to Ue considered for
aesthetic, historic, social, cultural, economic, and other reasons specific to Cupertino's
history. The formation of the criteria was c�rawn from local, state and national
designation criteria listed by the State of California Office of Historic Preservation.
Once all the sites were researched, they were evaluated for their historical significance
by determining if the site met one or more of the criteria. If the site met any one of the
criteria, preservation or coinmemoration was determined. The recoinmendations
chosen are intended to ensure that any change to the resource would not create a
substantial adverse impact to the historical resource, or that appropriate
commemoration is provided to capsulate the history.
A total af eleven (11) sites were chosen by the Committee. These sites are in addition to
the existing historic resources list in the General Plan. A summary table has been
prepared that includes alI existing and proposed historical resources, criteria met by the
sites and recommendations for preservation/commemoration (See Attacl�unent B).

CEQA and Historic Resources
All projects undertaken by a puUlic agency are subject to the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA). Staff therefore researched the historical review process outlined in
CEQA to ensure that the City's review processes for projects are consistent with CEQA
requirements. -
Historical resources identified in a local historical resources inventory, such as the
General Plan, are presumed to be significant by CEQA (PRC � 5024.1, 14 CCR � 4850).
According to CEQA, the City is responsible for determining if a project would create a
substantial adverse change to a historical resource, which may include demolition,
dest�uction, relocation, or alteration such that the significance of an historical resource
� would Ue impaired (PRC � 5020.1(�).
3-24 13-5
CP-2007-03 Historic Presezvation Policy Apri120, 2010
Page 6
Protecting historical resources from "substantial adverse change" through mitigation
efforts can generally reduce or eliminate the impacts. The following mitigation options
would be acceptable under CEQA (and would apply only to the Historic sites but not to
the Commemorative sites):
1. Redesi�n the project to meet the Secretnr�� of tlze I1�terior's Strz�2dards for tlie Trerzt»ie�Tt of
Historic Properties.
2. Relocate the historical resource, as long as relocation does not constitute an adverse
impact to the resource, However, in situations where relocation is the oi�ly feasible
alternative to demolition, relocation may initigate below a Ievel of significance
provided that the new location is compatible with the original character and use of
the historical resource and the resource retains its eligibility for listing on the
, California Register (14 CCR � 4852(d}(1)).
The above requirements are consistent with the recommendations of the Ad Hoc
Historic Preservation Advisory Committee.
Review Process for Historic Resources
Based on the Ad Hoc Historic Preservation Advisory Committee recommendations, and
to be consistent wifh CEQA requirements, the following review process is proposed for
sites on the Historic or Corrunemorative list.
Historic Sites
a) Confirm that the project meets the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for
Treatment of Historic Properties (a historic architect may be used to review
projects).
b) If t11e project does not meet the Secretan� of ttle Interior's Sta�Tdnrds for Trentme�lt of
Historic Properties, then the historic architect would provide mitigation
recommendations to lessen or eliminate the physical impact that the project will
have on the historical resource.
I c) Coordinate with applicant to provide a plaque(s), reader board(s) and/or other
educational tools on the site that explains the historical significance of the resource.
d) For quasi-puUlic and public sites coordinate with applicant to allow public access to
the historical site to foster public awareness and provide educational opportunities.
For privately-owned sites, a�plicants would be encouraged but not required to
provide access.
Commemorative Sites
When projects are proposed on a site that has a historical resource listed for
commeinoration in the General Plan, the property owner should work with staff to
provide a plaque, reader boards and/ or anofher educational tool that explains the

historical sib ificance of the resource. The commemorative elements should be specific
to the resources and be placed in a lacation visible to public views. The following
inforination should be included in the design:
• City Seal;
• Name of resource consistent with name listed in General Plan; and
o Date the resource was built;
• Written description of the historical conhibution of the resource; and
• Photo or image representative of the original resource.
Honorable Mention Sites
Historical resources located outside the City's boundaries, currently registered on
another Historical Reb ster, and/ or no lon�er exist should continue to be recognized for
their historical contributioil by listed in the General Plan under the title "Honorable
Mention."
Additionally, a letter could be sent to the agency with jurisdiction over the resource
regarding the City's recommendations.
Incentives
, A number of cities in California provide monetary incentives to property owners of
historic resources. Examples of these state and local incentives are provided below.
Federnl
■ 20% Federal Tax Credit
The 20% rehabilitation tax credit equals 20% of the amount spent in a certifiec�
relTabilitr�tioit of a certified ]Zistoric structicre. The 20% credit is available for properties
rehabilitated for commercial, industrial, agiicultural or rental residential purposes. It
is not available for properties used exclusively as the owner's private residence. The
20 % rehabilitation tax credit applies only to certified historic structures, and may
include buildings built after 1936.
■ 10% Federal Tax Credit
The 10% rehabilitation tax credit equals 10% of the amount snent to rehabilitate a
non-historic building Uuilt before 1936. The 10% rehabilitation tax credit applies only
to non-historic, non-residential buildings built before 1936.
State
■ State Historic Building Code
' The SHBC allows reasonable alternatives to the requirernents of reb Iar codes and
ordinances, applicable to all qualified historic resources. Any condition permitted to
continue within existing occupancies is permissible in lzistoric buildings. CHBC Part
8, Title 24, regulations require enforcing agencies to accept reasonably equivalent
alternatives to the re�ular code.

Loc�zl
■ Mills Act Contracts
The Mills Act is a state law allowing cities to enter into contracts with the owners of
historic shuctures. Each jurisdiction individually determines the criteria and
requirements for participation. Such cont�acts require a reduction of property taxes
in exchange for the continued preservation of the property for a minimum of 10
years. Property taxes are recalculated using a formula in the Mills Act and Revenue
and Taxation Code. Cities which provide this incentive include Mountain View,
Berkeley, San Jose, and Fremont.
� ■ Historic Rehabilitation Loans/Grants
These programs are typically offered to facilitate the rehabilitation, preservation or
restoration of 1listoric buildings. Loans can also achieve additional goals such as
eliininating blight, revitalizing older shopping or redevelopment areas, and �
benefitting low-income owners. Loans can range from $1000-�10,000 and aUove
depending on local resources and the project scope. Cities that pro�Tide such
programs include San Francisco.
The General Plan amendments allows the flexibility to provide incentives if the City
wishes to do so. If the Council wishes to pursue one or more of these monetary
incentives, staff will bring back a report regarding the incentives.

Comrnittee, staff recommends that the Council direct staff to begin the General Plan
Amendment process to update the following preservation policies and st�ategies of the
General Plan to provide guidance to decision-makers, staff and the public:
