RESOLUTION NO. 4958
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CUPERTINO
RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF INTERIM ORDINANCE 1799, AN AMENDMENT TO
TITLE 19, CHAPTER 19.28 SINGLE FAMILY ORDINANCE OF THE CUPERTINO
MUNICIPAL CODE
WHEREAS, the City of Cupertino initiated an application for modification to the single family
residential ordinance (11-Z-97) affecting all properties within said zone; and
WHEREAS, the necessary public notices have been given in accordance with the Procedural
Ordinance of the City of Cupertino, and the Planning Commission has held one or more public
hearings on the subject application; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds that the subject zoning modification meets the
following requirements:
a) That the City of Cupertino is conducting a city-wide single family residential survey. The
goal of the survey is to identify architectural styles so that citywide architectural standards
can be adopted.
b) As an outcome to this survey, the issue of building mass, bulk, height, privacy and
neighborhood compatibility will be addressed through the adoption of architectural
standards which is estimated to be adopted in February 1999.
c) In order to preserve the quality of life for property owners adjacent to new second story
homes or additions, it is necessary to adopt interim measures to address privacy until the
architectural standards can be adopted.
d) The City Council believes that a significant amount of building permits will be issued for
second story buildings and additions before the comprehensive zoning modifications can
be completed. Because public testimony indicates a great public concern about privacy
impacts from the new second story buildings they feel it necessary to protect impacted
property owners until further modifications to the zoning code can be completed.

e) As such, it is necessary to adopt an interim ordinance addressing privacy protection in
order to protect the public safety, health and welfare until comprehensive zoning
modifications can be completed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Cupertino
to approve Exhibit A.
