. NOTICE OF INTENT
TO ADOPT A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
CITY OF CUPERTINO
Stevens Creek Trail Study Area A
(Implementing Portions of Two of Santa Clara County's Trail Routes:
Stevens Creek Trail(S2) and Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail (R1A)
The City of Cupertino is the Lead Agency and preparer of the Stevens Creek Trail Study
Area A Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration. The City,as Lead Agency,has found as a
result of this Initial Study process that while the proposed project could have a significant effect
on the environment,there will not be a significant effect in this case because mitigating
measures will be incorporated into the project.
Project Description:
The City of Cupertino has prepared a Draft Stevens Creek trail Feasibility Report(May
21,2002) to evaluate the Stevens Creek corridor and the adjacent open space and parklands to
determine the feasibility of constructing pedestrian,bicycle and equestrian trails through these
areas. The Feasibility report analyzes the benefits of the proposed trail alignments to the
community and describes the feasible routes. The project area was divided into four Study
• Areas,Study Areas A through D,to facilitate the planning process and future trail
development. Study Area A encompasses approximately 130 acres of land within and adjacent
to Rancho San Antonio County Park and Open Space Preserve. The Feasibility Report also
recommended biological restoration and enhancement opportunities at the site (see Appendix F
of the Feasibility Report) that could be implemented by local agencies,non-profits and
community members. These are not part of the proposed Trail Project,but if implemented
would enhance wildlife values on the site.
