' SECTION II: FINDINGS
�
� WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Cupertino received an application for an
� Architectural and Site Approval, as described in this Resolution; and
WHEREAS,the proposed duplex expansion, as modified by conditions attached hereto, will not
be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity, and will not be
detrimental to the public health, general welfare or convenience; and
WHEREAS,the proposed project is consistent with the general plan, including policies 2-18
through 2-20 relative to privacy protection, and complies with the Duplex Residential (R-2)
zoning ordinance, and adheres to the following specific criteria
a. The maximum height of the duplex is 23 feet, 2"versus 30 feet allowed by ordinance
and the finish grade of the building site is 3'-4' lower than the finish grade of adjoining
properties located to the west. Additionally, most wall lines of the second story
addition are offset from the first floor wall lines. The use of hip roofs reduces visual
mass.These factors mitigate the potential for an abrupt change in scale between one story
and two story buildings.
b. The materials,texture, and colors of the building harmonize with surrounding
buildings. The proposed landscaping will reduce exposure of two story walls to
adj oining neighbors which will enable the structure to harmonize with the existing
neighborhood. The use of fixed windows and obscured glass will further reduce the
potential for privacy intrusion.

c. The new addition will not result in increase noise, traffic, light, and visual intrusion
because of the use of buffering, larger than required side yard setbacks, landscaping,
and through use of visual barriers and obscured glass.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that after careful consideration of plans, facts,
exhibits, testimony and other evidence submitted in this matter, the Application No. 4-ASA-99 is
hereby approved.
