WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Cupertino is the decision-making body for

WHEREAS, on June 2, 2020, after consideration of substantial evidence contained in the
entire administrative record, and prior to consideration of the Development Permit, the

Project which are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of the City that are identified
in the EIR, and adopting the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the
Project; and
WHEREAS,the applicant has met the burden of proof required to support the application
for a Development Permit.
WHEREAS, the City Council finds as follows with regard to this application:
1. The proposed development, at the proposed location, will not be detrimental or
injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity, and will not be detrimental to
the public health, safety, general welfare, or convenience;
The project is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance and has been designed
to be compatible with and respectful of adjoining land uses. Additionally, all mitigation
measures that are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of the City have been adopted and
will be made conditions of approval in order to mitigate potential impacts to a less than
significant level. Therefore, the project will not be detrimental or injurious to properties or
EXHIBIT DP
improvements in the vicinity, and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, general
welfare, or convenience.
2. The proposed development will be located and conducted in a manner in accord with
the Cupertino Comprehensive General Plan and the purpose of the City's zoning
ordinances.
The General Plan land use designation for the property is Commercial/Residential. The
proposed use is consistent with the General Plan. The subject property is zoned as Planned
General Commercial/Residential with a further designation as a Priority Housing Element
Site. Projects that propose a density above the allocation provided in the Housing Element are
required to obtain a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), which the project is seeking and subject
to approval, see Condition of Approval (COA) #3 in Section III. The proposed development has
met the applicable development standards of the Heart of the City Specific Plan and is
requesting a density bonus and density bonus waivers for certain general plan development
standards as permitted in the City of Cupertino's Municipal Code Chapter 19.56 Density
Bonus. Therefore, the proposed development is consistent with the purpose of the City's zoning
ordinance.
3. The applicant has requested a density bonus. Pursuant to Cupertino Municipal Code
Section 19.56.070, before approving an application that includes a request for density
bonus, incentive, parking reduction and/or waiver, the decision-making body shall
make the following findings, as applicable:
a) A finding that the residential project is eligible for the density bonus and any
incentives, parking reductions or waivers requested.
The application is a for a density bonus project that provides for approximately 20% of
its base density as Below Market Rate Housing for seniors.As 12% of the units on-site
will be limited to Very Low Income seniors, it is eligible for a 35% density bonus.
b) A finding that any requested incentive will result in identifiable, financially
sufficient, and actual cost based on the financial analysis and documentation
provided.
No incentives are requested as part of the project, so the finding is not applicable.
c) If the density bonus is based all or in part on donation of land, a finding that
all requirements included Section 19.56.030C have been met.
The density bonus is not based on the donation of land, so the finding is not applicable.
d) If the density bonus is based all or in part on the inclusion of a childcare facility,
a finding that all requirements included in Section 19.56.030 (D)have been met.
EXHIBIT DP
The density bonus is not based on the inclusion of a child care facility, so the finding is
not applicable.
e) If the density bonus or incentive is based on a condominium conversion, a
finding that all the requirements included in Section 19.56.030 (E) have been
met.
The density bonus is not based on a condominium conversion, so the finding is not
applicable.
f) If the incentive includes mixed-use development, a finding that all
requirements including in Section 19.56.40 (B) (2) have been met.
While the project is a mixed-use development, the density bonus is not based on the
mixed-used development as an incentive, so the finding is not applicable.
g) If a waiver is requested, a finding that that the development standards for
which the waivers are requested would have the effect of physically precluding
the construction of the housing development with the density bonus and
incentives or concessions permitted.
The development standards for the slope line setback, height, and BMR dispersion
would physically preclude the development. Age restricted senior housing has special
needs and are governed by specific health codes that would require them to be
consolidated in the same building(s). Height and slope setback limitations could affect
the project by requiring a waiver for the common space requirement as well as a
reduction in the size of the units. The elimination of the tower elements would not affect
the density nor would physically preclude its development as those are purely
architectural elements.
h) If a reduction in off-street parking standards for an eligible housing
development is requested, a finding that all the applicable requirements in
Section 19.56.040.0 have been met [at least 11% very low income or 20% low
income units; within one-half mile of a Major Transit Stop; and unobstructed
Access to the Major Transit Stop.
The project proposes that 12% of the units on-site will be limited to Very Low Income
seniors; it is within 1/2 mile of a Major Transit Stop at the intersection of N. Stelling
Road and Stevens Creek Boulevard, defined, as relevant for this project, as the
intersection of two or more major bus routes with a frequency of service interval of 15
minutes or less during the morning and afternoon peak commute periods;and residents
EXHIBIT DP
will have unobstructed access to this major transit stop because they will be able to
access it without encountering natural or constructed impediments.
4. Since the applicable findings required above can be made, the decision-making body
may deny an application for a waiver only if one of the following written findings as
applicable to each type of application, supported by substantial evidence:
a) That the incentive or concession, or waiver would have an adverse impact on
real property listed in the California Register of Historic Resources; or
There are no affected Historic Resources in the vicinity.
b) That the incentive or concession, or waiver would have a specific, adverse
impact upon public health or safety or the physical environment, and there is
no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific, adverse
impact without rendering the residential project unaffordable to low- and
moderate-income households. For the purpose of this subsection, "specific,
adverse impact" means a significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable
impact, based on objective, identified, written public health or safety
standards, policies, or conditions as they existed on the date that the
application for the residential project was deemed complete; or
As evidenced by the findings and conclusions of the Environmental Impact Report,
there exists no significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impacts, based on
objective, identified, written public health or safety standards,policies, or conditions as
they existed on the date that the application for the residential Project was deemed
complete.
c) That the incentive or concession, or waiver is contrary to state or federal law.
The requested waivers are not contrary to state or federal law.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
That after careful consideration of maps, facts, exhibits, testimony and other evidence
submitted in this matter and the EIR and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program for the Project (EA-2018-04), subject to the conditions which are enumerated in
this Resolution beginning on PAGE 3 thereof, and those contained in all other Resolutions
approved for this Project,
The application for a Development Permit, Application No. DP-2018-05, is hereby
approved, and that the subconclusions upon which the findings and conditions specified
EXHIBIT DP
in this Resolution are based are contained in the Public Hearing record concerning
Application no. DP-2018-05 as set forth in the Minutes of the City Council Meeting of
