CITY OF CUPERTINO
10300 Torre Avenue, Cupertino, California 95014
DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REPORT FORM
Application: Planning Commission 2006 Work Program
Recommendation:
Consider and recommend approval of the 2006 work program
Background:
The Planning Commission adopts a work program each year, which is
forwarded to the City Council for final approval. The work program is based,
for the most part, on the City Council's work program, which the Council
adopted in January (see Exhibit A). The proposed 2006 work program is
enclosed for the Planning Commission's consideration (Exhibit B). A review of
2005 is found on pages 1-7, and 2006 on pages 8-13. A Work Program Action list,
Exhibit C, is also enclosed. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission
recommend priorities for the Action list.
Discussion:
The Work Program is separated into three categories:
~ Council Goals/Work Program (from the Council adopted work program).
Key projects are:
2005
o Crossroads Streetscape Plan
o Sign Ordinance
o Fence Ordinance
2006
o Heart of the City Specific Plan and Green buildings program
o Nexus Study
~ Planning Projects (projects not on the Council work program)
Key projects: .
o Review R1 ordinance (previously directed by Council)
o Annex small unincorporated pockets
o Look at obsolete Research and Development properties city-wide to
determine where conversion might be appropriate (suggested by
Marty Miller; not on Council work program but has been discussed
by Council as a priority project)
~ Private Development Projects (anticipated private projects)
Given these key projects, staff estimates that there will be limited time to add
projects to the action list priorities.

City has contracted with Neighborhood Housing
Services of Silicon Valley to implement the
teacher outreach program in December 2003.
Teachers have not been able to qualify for
housing in Cupertino. The Housing Commission
is considering if the area allowed for housing
purchases should be expanded and will make a
recommendation to the City Council.
City Council appropriated $220,000
for a down payment assistance
program for teachers in May 2003.
As of January 2006, two teachers
have qualified for the program and
are attempting to find a home to
purchase using the down payment
assistance grant.
Teacher housing assistance programs
1. Develop teacher housing assistance
program (9/02)
a.
The Commission found the existing fee is
insufficient to offset the impacts of development
and is recommending increasing housing fees for
non-residential developments, including
commercial development and residential
developments that are too small (six or fewer
units) to require a BMR unit.
The Housing Commission reviewed
a nexus study for housing mitigation
fees and will make a
recommendation to the City Council
in the first quarter 2006.

Suggestions from Marty Miller:
~ Affordable Housing: Consider below market rate housing for >150% of
median income, to provide more worker housing
~ Homestead and North Valko areas: be proactive and create plans for
these two areas in anticipation of future "redevelopment"
~ Look at obsolete Research and Development properties city-wide to
determine where conversion might be appropriate
