Dear City Council:
Why is any developer trying to get a Heart of the City exception along
Stevens Creek Blv? Heart of the City is not part of any Housing Bill
and is unique to Cupertino. It is a city designated public right of way
setback of 35 feet along Stevens Creek Blvd. It runs from the
eastern end of Cupertino to the western end of Cupertino along
both sides of Stevens Creek Blvd.
To think that it is anything else or varies from the thirty five feet public
right of way setback is against the city rule of Heart of the City that
dates back to the 1990s.
Heart of the City is as much a part of Cupertino as De Anza College
or our City Charter.
There are people or things that want to take our City Charter from us,
but Heart of the City is Cupertino's "by right", just as our City Charter
is ours "by right".
Sincerely,
Jennifer Griffin
