RESJLUTIJN NO. 2434
OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CUPERTINO
RECOMMENDING DENIAL OF A USE PERMIT TO CONSTRUCT
148 ATTACHED RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM UNITS AND A
TWO-STORY 45,000 SQ. FT. OFFICE BUILDING.
APPLICANT: Town Center Properties (Jason Chartier)
ADDRESS: 21060 Homestead Road, Cupertino, California 95014
SUBMITTED: May 2, 1983
LOCATION: Between Stevens Creek Boulevard and Rodrigues Avenue
east of the future extension of Torre Avenue
FURTHER FINDINGS:
1. The applicant's proposal to construct 248 dwellings, in the opinion of the
Planning Commission, is inconsistent with General Plan Amendment Policy 3 b
which encourages Town Center developers to incorporate, to the greatest
extent possible, the maximum number of dwelling units designated on
"Figure 2-e" (land use diagram for Town Center). The maximum number of
dwelling units allowed is 366.
2. The applicant's proposal to utilize the proposed 45,000 sq. ft. non-
residential building for a corporate administrative office or similar
large scale office uses is inconsistent with General Plan Policy 3 c
which specifies "The maximum 45,000 sq. ft. of non-residential space
designated for Site B shall be service -oriented professional office
and/or community or local retailing activities'.'.
3. The site plan provides fragmented open space areas throughout the development
and, thus, does not amalgamate an adequate area for active play space for
adults and children. Therefore, in the Commission's opinion, it is
inconsistent with the General Plan text which states "The residential
complexes would be self-contained in terms of providing active recreation
activities".
4. The site plan does not adhere to the General Plan policies which seek to
limit access points to Stevens Creek Boulevard and to place major project
access points on Torre Avenue. The Plan should consolidate the office and
residential use access points to a single driveway on Stevens Creek Boulevard
and Torre Avenue and retain the Rodrigues Avenue access in a minor role.
5. The site plan does not provide adequate parking to meet expected need for
the non-residential and residential activities. The applicant did not
provide adequate data to support the use of tandem parking.
