UPHOLDING ITS POSITION TO RECOMMEND THE REZONING
OF 21723, 21724 AND 21744 REGNART COURT FROM R 1-10 TO RHS-15

EXCLUDING PROPERTIES FROM RHS REZONING
SECTION I: FINDINGS
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Cupertino received a request from the City Council to
reexamine its rezoning recommendation on application no. 10-Z-95 with respect to three lots on Re�;nart Court,
as described in this Resolution; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds:
1) that there is a need for uniform and definitive criteria for determining whether a lot should be
considered part of the hillside or not and thus whether it should be rezoned to RHS;
2) that further piecemeal hillside zoning evaluations should not be done until evaluation
guidelines are established;
3) that the redevelopment of the residences on these lots would create visible structures to the
neighborhood; and
4) that the subject lots with an average slope of 21% are steeper than lots wliich have been
excluded from RHS rezoning which have average slopes less than 10%..
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
That after careful consideration of maps, facts, exhibits, testimony and other evidence submitted in tliis mattcr,
that the Planning Commission's recommendation on application no. 10-Z-95 with respect to 21723, 21724 �ind
