� WHEREAS, the Planning Coinmission _of the City of Cup,ertina received an application for�.an
Architectural and:Site Approval Pexmit as described in Section L,of this Resolution;and
V�1I IEREAS,,the Environmental Review Committee has recommended adoption of a M'itigated Negative
Declaratiori;�and�, `;; � � � � � � � � � �
TNHEREAS, fhe necessary public nbtices have<been given=as required by the Procedural Ordinance of
tl-ie�Gity'of Cupertino, and the Plaiv.ling`'Commissiori has held at least one public hearing in regard to
f11e�application;�and� �� � � � � � � � � �
WHEREAS,the applicant has met the burden of proof required to support said application; and
WHEREAS,the Pla�uiing Commission finds as follows with regard to this application:
1: The proposal, at. the proposed location, wil1 �not be detrimental or injurious to properiy or
improvements :in the vicinity, and will not be <detrimental to the public health; safety, general
� � - �� � � , ,�< - � � ;,
welfare,or eonvenience; ,
.
Given that the`project is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance; has been designed to be
compatible with and respectful of adjoining land ,uses; and that relevant` mitigation measures inill be
. . ., ._.
incorporated as part of the CEQA`review process'to matagdte potential impacts to a less than significant level,
the project will not be detrimental:or injurious>to property or improvements in the vicinity, and:will not be
detrirnental to the public healfh, safety,general welfare, or�convenience.
� _
.
�`�� 2. The proposal is consistent with the purposes of Chapter 19.168, Architectural and Site Review, of the
Cupertirio 1Vlunicipal Code, the Gerieral PTari, any specific plan, zoning ordinances,' applicable
Resolution No.6735 ASA-2014-02 Apri122,2014
planned development permit, conditional use permits, variances, subdivision maps or other
entitlements to use which regulate the subject property including, but not limited to, adherence to �
the following specific criteria:
a) Abrupt changes in building scale have been avoided. A gradual transition related to height and
bulk has been achieved between new and existing buildings.
The project is compatible with the scale of the surrounding residential buildings and streetscape in terms
of height, bulk, and form. The proposed two-story height of the residences would generally be about the
same height as the surrounding one-stor�/ duplex residences since the building pad area is lower in
elevation than the duplex residences.
b) Design harmony between new and existing buildings have been preserved and the materials,
textures and colors of new buildings harmonize with adjacent development with design and
color schemes, and with the future character of the neighborhood and purposes of the zone in
which it is situated. The location, height and materials of walls, fencing, hedges and screen
planting harmonize with adjacent development. Unsightly storage areas, utility installations
and unsightly elements of parking lots have been concealed. Ground cover or various types of
pavements have been used to prevent dust and erosion, and the unnecessary destruction of
existing healthy trees have been avoided. Lighting for development is adequate to meet safety
requirements as specified by the engineering and building departments, and shielding to
adjoining property owners.
The project is designed in a modern architectural theme with redwood cladding to mimic the natural
features of the local foothills. Both the residences and workspaces feature alternating flat and pitched roof �
forms with metal canopies above entries and workplace storefronts to provide visual interest. The location,
height, and massing of the buildings are compatible with the adjacent and surrounding developments. The
proposed siting of the two-story residences also minimize shading impacts to adjoining residences given
the project's lower grade than its adjoining neighbors. Low pedestrian-scale walls are proposed along the
project frontages, consistent what is typically allowed in residential zones. All above ground utility
installations are required to be screened from public view. The design has incorporated decorative paving
material that maximizes permeability and water-efficient landscaping, as well as lighting to illuminate
pedestrian paths and vehicular routes, which will not glare onto adjoining properties. The City's
consultant arborist confirmed that none of the five existing Monterey Pine trees are suitable for
preservation.
c) The number, location, color, size, height, lighting and landscaping of outdoor advertising signs
and structures have been designed to minimize traffic hazard, positively affect the general
appearance of the neighborhood and harmonize with adjacent development.
If workspace signage is requested, the project is required to submit a master sign program in order to ensure
that exterior signage is designed and located to minimize traffic hazards, positively affect the general
appearance of the neighborhood, and harmonize with adjacent development.
d) This new development has been designed to protect residents from noise, traffic, light and
visually intrusive effects by use of buffering, setbacks, landscaping, walls and other appropriate �
design measures.
The project has been designed to protected residents from noise through traffic, light and visually intrusive
effects by use of buffering, setbacks, landscaping, walls and other appropriate design measures. Residences
