The Planning Commission first reviewed the proposed project on October 25, 2005 (see
Attachment C for staff report) at which time public testimony and Commission
discussion raised questions in the area of seven issues that required more information
from staff and building redesign by the developer. This staff report addresses the seven
issues raised at the October 25, 2005 public hearing, presented below in the Discussion
section of this report.
DISCUSSION:
1. Provide some· two-bedroom units to reduce the overall building height. The
project should not infringe on the daylight plane of the adjoining properties on
the east side.
The applicant has redesigned the townhome complex to provide one two-
bedroom unit in each of the three building townhome clusters, resulting in 12
three-bedroom units and three two-bedroom units. The two-bedroom units have
less floor area and have one-car garages. This results in an increase in the side
setbacks and more landscaped area of the site. The roofline above the two-
bedroom units was lowered, and the grading of the site was revised to lower the
buildings into ground by one foot (the height remains the same at 35' 8").

The applicant has provided a graphic illustration that shows the sun angle at the
lowest point of the year which adequately demonstrates that the proposed
buildings will not adversely impact the daylight plane of the adjoining
properties.
Additionally, the landscape plan was revised to replace the proposed redwood
tree plantings at the rear property line with smaller, deciduous trees to further
protect the sun exposure of the adjoining properties.
2. Clarify the accessibility of the front balconies.
There was discussion about whether the front balconies had windows or doors
and if they were intended to be accessible from the inside. The floor plans were
revised to show sliding doors for access to the balconies.
3. Ensure that the attic space is not accessible and cannot be used as living space.
The plans were revised to show the attic space does not have sufficient height to
be used as living space. The UBC requires a floor to ceiling height of 7' for living
space, and the attic space ranges from 0' to 5' at the highest point. The plans also
indicate that the attic is not accessible for living space. However, the attic will
have a small panel opening that is required by code.
4. The Relocation Plan should provide a list of comparable apartment and
availability.
The applicant prepared a list of nearby apartments which lists the number of
apartments in each complex. It is not possible to state at this time what the
availability will be at a future date when the tenants would actually move, but
the applicant has committed to assisting the tenants at that time - see list
attached to Relocation Plan, Attachment C.
5. Clarify the MontaVista boundary as it relates to General Plan policy restricting
height to 30'.
The project is not located within the Monta Vista boundary, see Attachment E.
6. Determine the school impact.
The student generation rate used in the EIR for the General Plan are:
o K-8: 0.2 students/units for low density (15 due/acre or less)

o High School: 0.12 students/unit forlow density
Therefore, the projected students generated from the proposed development are:
o K-8: 3 students
o High School: 1.8 students
The applicant provided the following information on current tenants and
students in attendance at local school:
o K-8: 4 (1 at Kennedy Middle and 3 at Stevens Creek Elementary)
o High School: 2 (Monta Vista High)
7. Notice all tenants of the 12/13/05 meeting.
The applicant provided a list of the tenants and the City has duly noticed all
addresses on the list of the 12/13/05 meeting.
Additionally, the applicant held an informative meeting on November 19, 2005
(see attached noticing letter, Attachment D) for the tenants and reports that
tenants from 8 units attended and were pleased with the Relocation Plan. Some
of the tenants wanted information about the BMR units and about the
construction period. OveraIl the mood was positive. The applicant delivered an
informative packet to the tenants who were not at the meeting.

Noticing. This project was the subject of a citywide postcard noticing.
Site Description. The 1.10-acre property fronts on Stevens Canyon Road and St.
Andrews Avenue with access only on St. Andrews Avenue. The property was
developed in 1963 with five buildings consisting of 15 residential apartment units in
what is known as Stevens Canyon Villas. All 15 units are presently occupied. The
apartment units were constructed in the early 1960's.
There are about 27 trees (6" diameter or greater) on the property, of native and non-
native species. There are no heritage or specimen trees on the property. The applicant
proposes to remove 19 trees and relocate 2 trees and will provide additional
landscaping.
The property is immediately surrounded by residential uses, single family homes to the
east and west, duplexes to the north and more apartments to the south. The property is
also within two miles of Stevens Creek County Park.
Project Description. The applicant proposes to demolish the existing five buildings
consisting of 15 residential apartment units and associated parking on the site. The site
will be regraded to accommodate the split-level floor plan of three new buildings and to
.;< -~q

retain as many trees that are in good condition as possible. Each of the three buildings
would contain five townhomes that front on Stevens Canyon Road, and have garage
level entrances from an interior driveway that is accessed from St. Andrews Avenue.
The garages are situated on a lower grade at the rear of the site such that the buildings
have three stories at the rear, and two stories that front on Stevens Canyon Road. The
site plan also provides 18 additional open parking stalls at the rear of the property that
are arranged into three covered (wooden trellis) parking bays (6 stalls each) and
separated by landscaped areas containing new redwood trees and shrubs.
The rear of the site is screened from the adjacent residential properties by a 6' high wall
topped with a 2' high lattice. The new trees between the parking stalls provide
additional screening.
There are five basic floor plan layouts, each consisting of 2,067 square feet of living
space (3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms) and 613 square feet of garage space (two-car). The
exterior finishes vary on each townhome, including cement plaster, fiber cement lap
siding and cultured brick. Each townhome has a front yard, pedestrian pathway, front
porch and a wooden picket fence with varying gate styles.
The project includes a 10 foot wide bike/ pedestrian path along Stevens Canyon Road
that is separated from the street by a 5 foot wide landscaped median that contains street
trees and lawn. This path provides safe connectivity to the units on the site, as well as
establishes a link to possible future connection to the open space Stevens Creek County
Park. There is also a pedestrian pathway between each of the three buildings that
provides connection from the front to the rear of the site.
Rezoning. The applicant proposes rezoning the property from Multiple-Family
Residential (R-3) Zone to Planned Residential P (RES) Zone.
Tentative Subdivision Map. The applicant proposes subdividing the property into 15
small lots (numbered 1 through 15) and one common area lot (numbered 16). Lots 1 - 15
would each contain one for-sale townhome. According to the applicant, the Home
Owners Association would own the common area and the exterior of the townhomes
and be responsible for the maintenance of such. The proposed development requires
approval by the State Department of Real Estate prior to sale of the property. Staff has
included a condition of approval requiring maintenance of the common areas and
building exteriors by the HOA.
Tenant Relocation Plan. The applicant has provided a tenant relocation plan (see
Exhibit A) that includes the following key elements:
o Re~ident relocation manager to provide information such as apartment listings,
moving companies, BMR qualification, etc.

o Early notification - 60 day notice
o Refund security deposits mailed within 3 days
o Moving allowance of $400 and up to $800 for tenants with special needs
o Rental assistance of $100 per month of rent increase for 6 months
o Dispute resolution by mediation
Traffic. The project replaces 15 apartment units with 15 residential units, and there
should be no net increase in traffic generation from the project. Public Works staff
provided the following traffic information from Trip Generation, 7th Edition, ITE:
There will be about 0.54 trips per dwelling unit generated at the site per hour of AM
peak traffic, and about 0.52 trips per dwelling unit per hour of PM peak traffic. For 15
dwelling units, this should result in 8 tripsjhr of AM peak, or 24 trips during the three
AM peak hours, and about 8 tripsjhr of PM peak, or 24 trips during the three PM peak
hours.
Parking. The Cupertino parking ordinance requires 2.8 parking staIls (2 enclosed + 0.8
open staIls) for each townhouse unit. Below is the breakdown of required and supplied
parking:

Tree Removal & Replacement. There are 27 trees on the property, which were
evaluated for condition and need for removal (see Exhibit B). Twenty-one trees are
proposed for removal; none of which are considered heritage or specimen trees by the
City. Two of the removed trees would be relocated on the site. The applicant proposes
to mitigate the tree removal by planting 34 new trees as part of the development.

Conversion of Rental Units to For Sale Units. Concerns have been expressed about
the conversion of rental units to ownership units in Cupertino, such as A viare and

providing more affordable ownership units. A map is provided that shows the rental
units (R-2 and R-3 zoning) in the Monta Vista school district, to show the extent that
rental units are available in this area.
Also, staff believes the city needs to be flexible enough to allow property owners to
upgrade older apartment development&. In this case, the units are over 40 years old.

Stevens Canyon Villas
October 17, 2005
Stevens Canyon Villas is seeking approval to redevelop the existing Apartments into
15 attached town homes. Apartments include five buildings with 15 living units.
Stevens Canyon Villas values its residents and wants to make the transition as smooth as
possible for the residents, Stevens Canyon Villas has prepared this Resident Relocation
Program. The program includes the elements explained below.
Resident Relations Manae:er
Upon request, the Residents Relations Manager will be able to proactively work closely
with residents to provide information to resident issues. Informational resources such as
apartment listings, moving company listings, and information on how to qualify for BMR
units will be made available to residents. Stevens Canyon Villas values its customers and
wants to make sure their needs are met and their issues are resolved.
Earlv Notification
This early notification is designed to allow residents to prepare and be organized for their
relocation. In order to provide every resident adequate time to fmd alternative housing,
Stevens Canyon Villas will notify each resident with at least 60 days notice in advance
of the required move out date. Upon request, Stevens Canyon Villas will provide a list of
Comparable and available apartments to the tenants at the time of the 60 day notice.
Residents who move from the project during this 60-day period to another rental property
within Santa Clara County, will receive a refund of their deposit, a moving allowance and
rental assistance as outlined below.

Stevens Canyon Villas wants to refund security deposits to residents as quickly as
possible. A check for the security deposit will be mailed to the residents within 3

by my office in September for tree locations and reference information.

There were also a number of small trees, or large shrubs, less than 6" in caliper that are
not specifically cataloged that were located between apartment units. They were of
generally poor condition and were low value species (i.e. Bottlebrush, Privets, Peppers,
small Palms). They are all to be removed.
Trees shown to be saved are deemed appropriate species of good enough condition, in a
suitable location in relation to the proposed new development, and generally able to
withstand the impacts of the proposed construction.

The trees shown to be relocated are deemed an appropriate species for relocation
purposes, Washingtonia robustal Mexican Fan Palm.
Trees to be removed are either in poor condition (as noted in the legend), susceptible to
disease (pitch canker on Monterey Pines), are a low value species (privet, Pepper), are an
inappropriate species for the proposed development (Chamaecyparis), are difficult ·or not
cost-effective to relocate (Maples, Birches), and/or are in locations within the new
buildings or parking.
All existing trees that are to remain shall be protected during construction in their root
zone ITom any damage, trenching, grading, compaction, etc. as directed by the Consulting
Arborist. Trees to be relocated shall be moved under the supervision of the Consulting
Arborist by personnel experienced and skilled in such work.
