1. Review 2000/01 Coals
Council members reviewed some of the preliminary goals and the time lines proposed by

which is a high priority. A study'session will be scheduled on this matter in June of 2000
when thc new City Manager and consultant are both on-board.
2. Cupertino Library and Town Center
Community Development Director Steve Piasecki reviewed a downtown concept for the
Civic Center/Town Center area which would help to create a more walkable community.
The city council directed staffto open discussions with major property owners in the town
center area as well as to test thc concept with developers.
Council members discussed the next steps involved in the library construction project,
including the selection of an architect, and methods of encouraging community input
regarding site selection and other matters.
Ms. Barbara Rogem reviewed a list ofiasues to be considcrad in the library site selection.
These include a review of optional layouts, public input, parking, location of a drive-up book
- drop, possible visual and noise intrusion on neighbors, status of memorial redwood grove,
potential for enlarging buiMinSs in the future, impact on the plaza, options for land banking
thc area south of thc present library, and uses far existing library building.
January 10, 2000 Cupertino City Council Page 2

senior center. Discussion was held about thc makeup of thc committee. StatTwas directed to .
~zturn with a recommendation for membership on the steering and selection committee, to
include Councilmembers Michael Chang and Sandra James as well as Cupertino Librarian
Mary Ann Wallace.
3. Conversion of retail uses to office uses
Because of time conslraints, this item was continued to the next regular council meeting.
4. Sports Center building alternatives
Perks and Recreation Director Steve Dowling reviewed alternatives for the Sports Center
building. Alternative A would complete ADA, seismic, and HVAC upgrades and replace the
observation deck. This status quo approach would mean a reduction in revenue from the
sports center because the current fitness area is too limited to retain current pass holders.
Model B would complete all the upgrades, replace the observation deck, and complete the
fitness/aerobic expansion. This option will enable the operation to be self supporting. There
would still be ongoing programming and mnlntensnce limitations in the 25 year old building.
Model C would demolish the existing building and construct a new single story facility that
would be designed for programs and services. This would ellmlrlato under utilized space
such as racquetball, bar service, and locker moms, while maximizing tennis, fitness and
aerobic spaces. The new building would be fully compliant with current codes and
specifications, and the program and operational benefits would be significant.
Council members agreed that the building should be demolished and a new sports center
couslnmted. They asked staff to provide an inventory of existing amenities as well as those
that could be provided ifthe building were enlarged.
RECESS
At 4:00 p.m., the Council recessed to a closed session to discuss labor negotiations pursuant to
Government Code Section 54957.6 rehted to the replacement of the rething city manager.

WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
Mayor Stattun said he had received a letter from Ms. Robin Haywood, and she had also turned in
a request to speak under oral communications.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Ms. Lucia Wu, one of the volunteers working un the Moon Festival, said she hoped to grow the
event into a large festival, including a parade, like the one that is held in San Francisco every
year. It is not only a celebration, but it is a comfort and an opportunity to share the Chinese
culture. Ms. Wu said she felt there has been some discrimination and requested open
communication with the community leaders about why it is not suppor~l. She said that the City
Council has been very supportive of the festival. Samas and Lowentlud said they had heard only
positive comments about it. Lowenthai offered to meet with Ms. Wu to discuss the situation
Ms. Robin Heywood said she was one of the lottery winners for the below-market-rate homes at
Oak Valley. However, while she was going through the rifle company application process one of
her parmers decided not to enter into a long-te~'~a conlract. Although another individual is
willing to participate, the selection cowmlttoe has disqualified her. She asked for an opportunity
to complete the application process.
Mr. Floyd Meyer, 1016 Westacres Drive, said he was still investigating a report shout missing
traffic tickets and he thinks there may be improprieties. He said if this has hurt any of his fellow
citizens, they can contact him and he will look into the matter. Mr. Meyer asked for details about
the redesign of the intersection near Kim, and said there is a terrible traffic burden on McClellan.
Public Works Director Bert Viskovich said the only change would be to prevent Home Depot
traffic from making a left turn and heading west into the neighborhood.

ITEMS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR
3. Minutes: February 22 regular adjourned meeting and Mawh 6 reg, hr meeting.
Lowenthal moved to approve the minutes as emended to correct names on page 7 of both
sets ofminute~, lemes seconded and the motion carded 5-0.
10. Designating pr~mit parking along Hyaunisport Drive between Fort Baker Drive and Linda
Vista Drive, Resolution 00-092.
Lowenthal said he was ~oncemed that adding more permit parking areas would worsen
the parking problems for students by foreing them into other neighborhoods. Public
streets belong to all residents, and with the strained lraflic situation at Monta Vista High
School, this would ~,ourag~ even more drop-offs, which doubles the number of vehicle
trips, lames said she was also not in favor ofpenuit parking next to parks and schools.
- BurneR agreed and said that any attempt to address the problem should be done citywide.
Chang and Station agreed a citywido review was needed.
March 20, 2000 Cupertino City Cmmcil Page 4
City Manager Don Brown said that since the neighbors had requested this permit parking
by petition, it was normally a consent item and none of them were present to address
council on chansing the policy.
Staff was asked to prepare a mai) of ail of the resiricted parking areas in the city.
Lowenthal moved to continue this item to the meeting of April 3. Public Works Director
Bert Viskovich said that would be sufficient time to notify the residents by mail. Chang
seconded and the motion carried 5-0.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
15. Consideration of street name chsnge from Sycamore Drive to Sycamore Court,
Resolution 00-093.
lames moved to adopt the resolution. Bumett seconded and the motion carried 5-0.

lose application requesting placement of an entrance archway to the Gate of Heaven
Cemetery on the property.

16 because the applicant has abandoned the X~luest for an arch at the Gate of Heaven
Cemetery, and will work with the city to improve signage on the roundabout,
17. Amend Municipal Code to shift all sir~le-family residential review to the Residential
Design Review Committee and chan§e the composition of the committee. Application 1-
MCA-99. This item is Categorically Exempt and is recommended for approval,
Ordinance 1844.
A. Ordinance No. 1844, "An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Cupertino
Amending Chapters 2.32, 2.90, 16.28, 17.44, 19.28, 19.32, 19.36, 19.48, 19.56,
19.60, 19.80, 19.132, and 19.134 of the Cupertino Municipal Code to Shift Design
Review to the Design Review Committee."
Planner Michale Rodrignes reviewed the staffrepott. She explained that there arc
currently two committees doing design xv*view, the Residential Design Review
Committee and the Design Review Subcommittee. The new composition would include
two Planning Commissioners, so the Community Development Director position and the
Architectural Advisor would work in an advisory capacity. Council would still receive
reports about the activities of the new commission. She discussed the recommendations
from staffand from the Plapnlng Cornmi~ion. Th~ Commission felt there would be
value in all five of them having an opportunity to review the projects, but staff felt that it
would add both time and cost to thc applicant.
March 20, 2000 Cupertino City Council Page 5
Lowenthai said it seemed to be a good idea to have the items final at the committee level
instead of requiring them to go before the Planning Commission, since there is a robust
appeal process. Bumett agreed, and said that some of the types of items that were
previously final with the Director will now be going before thc' colnmittec. James said
abe was in favor of consolidating the process and supported staff's recommendation.
Rodriguez said that the staff's recommendation was reflected in Exhibits 1-10 from thc
Jan 24 report and exhibits 5, 10, I l, and 12 from the March 20 packet. James moved to
adopt staff's recommendation. Burnett seconded and the motion carded 5-0. Rodrigues
explained that Ordinance No. 1844 would be changed to include the amendment of
Chapter 19.64.
Thc City Clerk read the title of the ordinance. Bumett moved and James seconded to read
thc amended ordinance by title on!y, and that thc City Clerk's reading would constitute
the first reading thereof. Motion carded 5-0.
18. Reconsideration of determination_by the City Council on January 3 denying thc appeal of
Steven Hoffman and upholding the decision of the City Manager regarding use of city
park facilities by the Cupertino Unified School District for commamial day care center
operations, Resolution 00-095. Petition requesting reconsideration filed by Steven D.
- Hoffraan. Continued from February 22.
City Attorney Charles Kilian reviewed the materials in the packet, which included
documents issued by the public works director regarding parking and traffic; a letter
written by Mr. Kiliun with a proposed resolution based upon the city council's previous
decision and listing the findings that should be made if council decides to deny the
petition for rehearing; responses specifically addressing Mr. Hoffamn's letters; and two
letters, not in the ori~nal packet, from the attorney of the Cupertino Union Elementary
School District.
Kilian said there were also materials distributed the last time this item was discussed
which Council did not have to bring with them, but which had been available for review.
Kiliun said that there was also a videotape prepared by Mr. Hoffman that was ready to be
abown. Statton said that be undemood the videotape was over 20 mi~ut~ aaa he
directed that the tape be abown in fast-forward mode. He asked for comments from the
applicant.
Mr. Hoffman said this is a difficult issue because it involves the day-care center use. He
wanted to get mitigating measures in place because he is an adjoining pruperty owner and
feels he has been impacted. He said he felt be was forced into the discussion tonight, but
it was not the appropriate forum for the issues he wanted to raise. Tbere abould have
-. been an oppommity for the users of the park to speak at a hearing and have concerns
addressed. Mr. Hoffman said one example of the impact on his propen'y is the noise
March 20, 2000 Cupertino City Council Page 6
created by the 80 cars that pass between 5-7 p.m. in the evening. They create a
distraction that can't be mitigated even by raising the fence around his back yard.
Mr. Hoffman quoted section 13.04.030 of the Municipal Code that says thst_ no person
shall enter, be, or remain in any part of a building of the city unless it complies with all
that regulations see forth in this chapter applicable to such park or building. He said the
district has not complied. If council rejects his request for reconsideration, it sends a
message that the complainant has thc burden of establishing that something was wrong.
Mr. Hoffman said he has been fighting this battle with thc school district and for the most
part his proposals for mitigation have been rejected. He said his claim against the school
involves the school's use of school property and non-school property. His suit against the
city relates only to the district's use of non-school property.
Mr. Hoffman said the transcript of Chuck Cort~s deposition confirms that when the
buildings were put in place, the full intent of the district was to use the park parking lot.
That was when the school district should have come to city for permission. Now it has
been allowed and the municipal code iguomd.
Mr. Hoffman discussed the responses by the city. In one case it indicates that the council
relied on the testimony of the Public Works Director, including his most recent staff
report. Mr. Hol"m~an said that Mr. Viskovich made only a visual survey, and Mr.
Hoffman's traffic survey was more comprehensive. He said the district's use of the
parking lot was not de minlmns but rather was ongoing. People using the park for the
day-care use using are a mnltiiude of times greater than any other park use combined.
He said the city contends that the use of the Varian Park parking lot by some parents for
pick up and delivery of children does not unreasonably adversely affect the availability of
adequate parking for park activities. The number of people waiting for parking space in
the evenings does not suppo~ this. The situation will only gee wome as new housing is
developed. Mr. HolTman said that he has supplied the council with copies of the code
sections that plainly say that someone who intends to use the park needs to submit an
application. When that doesn~ happen, the use of the park is illegal and creates a
nuisance.
Mr. Hofrman hi~hllghted some of the other responses and fmdi,~gs, and then showed his
videotape at fast-forward. He said the film was shot from his study, although the traffic
can be seen from every room in the house. He said there were virtually no park users on
the day and evening when the film was shot. The evening portion of the videotape was
from approximately $ p.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays.
Mr. Hoffman said he was saddened by the city's response, which was basically that he has
the burden of proof to show that the district must comply with the Municipal Code, and
everything he said in his letter was not relevant or was disregarded. If Council adopted
the resolution as it now stands, anyone can use the parking lot for any purpose without
March 20, 2000 Cupertino City Council Page 7
any application and without any approval in the city. Any adverse impact on the padc or
adjoining property owners is hrelevant until the city decides otherwise. He referred to a
letter by Mr. Holly and said it has some proposals that may work.
Mr. Marc Hynes, representing Mr. Hoi~uan, said that this is not an attempt to somchow
engineer a special arrangement for his client. By virtue of the location of his house, he is
uniquely affoct~:l by the operation of the day-care center in parldng lot as described.
There are a range of things that could be done to address the problem and prevent a
request on the part of the neighbors for stzicter parking. He asked that oouncil uphold the
appeal to establish the proper form whereby council would nn, iew the issue and require a
parking study and allow the type of public input and imposition of mitigating measures
which would alleviate some of the problems Mr. Hoffinen has suffered.
Mr. Dennis Ward represented the Central YMCA. He said the matter is currently
litigated in the Superior Court of Santa Clara County. He noted that refe~noes to the day-
care center as a commercial operation are incorrect, since this is a non-profit operation.
He said he would object to any reconsideration based on Mr. Hoffman's characterization
of the activities of the day-care center because they are misleading, particularly as it
relates to the use of the park and parking.
Ms. Liz Galleges, Executive Director of the Northwest YMCA said she agreed that he
'- issues raised by Mr. Hoffman at tiffs time are different than those currently going through
the YMCA and the school district. She said they did not discuss the parking issues with
Mr. Hoffman in the times they have met. She noted that there is a licensing limit to the
child care facilities. Although there may be growth projections for the other side of
Foothill Boulevard, they would need a different facility because this center is nearly at
its licensing capacity for childearo.
Kilian said it is important that council review the findings on page 18-19 of the packet
because those would be the basis of either denial or non-denial. He commented on the
videotape provided by Mr. HolTman, and said that one would have expected a tape that
would show a tremendous number of problems in the parking lot. Kilian said he has seen
the tape before, that in the morning hout~ there is absolutely no problem, there are apsces
at aH times for parting. In the evening it appears that un occasion a driver must walt a
minute, then a parking place is found simply because of turnover of cars. Kilian sa/d this
use does not require any special p~,,,,its by either the YMCA or the Cupertino union
school district simply because these are parents using the parking lot at the park. Had
there been a gas station or restaurant down the road, the city would not require those
businesses to get a special parking p~mit if some of their patrons decided to use the
pafldng facilities at the park. On that basis, the finding says that the Cupertino Union
School District doesn't have to seek a permit. This does not preclude the council from
requiring a special permit at a hter lime if there is an'intensity of use of the parldng such
- as would affect the ability of park use~ to park at that location. But at this point the
decision is council's as to whether such a point has been reached.
March 20, 2000 Cupertino City Council Page 8
Burnett said he a~recd with Kilian that the impact of the cars coming in appears to be
transitory. Park users would still have an opportunity to park there.
Chang a~eed. The videotape showed they were able to find parking spaces, especially in
the morning. In evening there was a constant flow of parking, which is a situation would
be found in many parts of the community. He also felt that the City Attorney adequately
addressed the allegations that the city did not hold hearings as required by the code.
James said that the videotape did not sway her opinion about the impact on the parking
spaces. She was in favor of shared facilities between public agencies, because it is a wise
use ofnnlimited funds.
Statton said the videotape actually spoke asainst all the points raised by Mr. Hoffman,
and he believed it was a de minimum use. He said the entire history of this project ,from
the initial request to dedicate a slice of public land to offset the woes in the property
owner, really undercut the property owner's argtunents.
James moved to adopt Resolution No. 00-095. Burnett seconded and the motion canied
5-0.

NEW BUSINESS
19. Offer from Apple Computer to provide cash amount to be used for community programs
or facilities, including artwork, in lieu ofinstallation of artwork on the Apple campus.
Community Development Director Steve Piasecki reviewed the staff x~'port and the
recommendations by the Fine Arts Commission.
Mr. Bob Hecox, Director of Real Estate for Apple Computer, said their original use
permit specified $100,000 for public att. He said that still seemed fair, since that was
what they would probably have spent to replace the axt on the campus. Apple would not
maintsln any off-campus art.
Chang said he felt the $100,000 was about fight for an in-lien fee. Also, thc city should
make the ultimate decision on what to do with the art, possibly to be used on the Four
Seasons project. He said they should look to the fine arts commission for
recommendations and then it should come back to the council because there is quite a lot
of public feeling about public art.
March 20, 2000 Cupertino City Council Page 9
James agreed with Chang that $100,00 is the right amount and that the city can use it
well. Public art can be many different things. She said she thought it would bc
shortsighted to exclude Apple from participating because they could help thc city make a
good decision on what to do with thc money.
Hecox said it was then' initial thought that in addition to the money, there might be ways
they could do some things for the community because of their access to'technology,.
Lowenthal said he thought it was good to have Apple participate, although the city
council should con~rol the usc of the art. He thought the $100,000 amount was
acceptable, and said that ho would like to sec the fine arts commission in an advisory role
helping council consolidate proposals.
Burnatt thought they should accept the in-lieu fee only for art, and he felt it was very
generous offer considering that Apple was giving the city flexibility.
Statton said he would also Eke to see Apple participate in the process, though not have
the controlling decision, because any time a company participates in thc community it is
a positive thinE. He noted that Apple is meeting a commitment they made ten years ago,
so it is not exactly a donation to the community, although he would like to see the
company make moro donations to the community.
James moved to accept an in-lien amount of $100,000 to be used for fine arts or other
community pro,rams. The location and how those funds will be spent will include the
collaboration of Apple Computer, but the final decision will be made by thc City Council.
The Fine Arts Commission will serve in an advisory role to help Council consolidate the
proposals. Chang seconded and the motion carded 5-0.
20. Authorizing selection of steering committee for new Coperlino library building.

21. Development criteria for converting commercial land use to office lend use.
Community Development Director Piasecki summsriz~d the staff report.
Bumett discussed his letter regarding the conversion policy, and stated that the type of
conversion he wished to promote was specifically from office to housing.
Chang asked if they could deal with the Senta Barbara Grill site as a specific case because
they do not have frontage on a major road and he thought it had affected their business.
He said he wasn't sure council was ready to consider a policy for the city as a whole. The
present policy seemed to be working and he would very cautious about either Irensferring
or allowing different uses than the policy now allows. He hoped there were provisions
that would allow them to treat the Senta Barbara Grill on an exception basis. Piasecki
said if council feels this case is unique, staff could evaluate it in that context.
Lowenthal referred to the criteria for initiating a general plan amendment end said he
thought the council has to find that it benefits the city as a whole, not just the applicent.
Piasecki that was correct, and he thought they had made that findin5 because they had
initiated the process in November.
Bumett objected and said he had earlier expressed his desire that this be converted to
hous'mg, which could be built there even as a mixed use without any change to the
general plen. When he wented to debate the issue at that time, staff said council was only
allowing the process to go forward and it could be debated when it came back to them.
Statton said he thought the Santa Barbara Grill was an appropriate topic for another
evening end enother agenda item.
Piasecld referred to the II~'~ommended criteria for irausfer of development rights. They
included evaluation of the following items: fisoal impacts, especially if square footage
would be moved from the commercial pool allocation; housing and traffic impacts; urben
design issues and how the development blended with the street and neighboring
buildings; public amenities such as open space, fountains, and public plazas; and the
corporate citizenship interface with the commlulity. He explained that the intent was to
encourage exemplary, high quality developments that do a lot for the community. For
example, as Burnatt had suggested, there could be on-site housing to offset some of the
housing impacts in that particular location. The housing committee thought mixed use
housing could go on this site as well as just about any other site. He said the Plenn'mg
Commission is reviewing the Development Lnte~'ity Manual that talks about Iransferring
March 20, 2000 Cupe~ino City Council Page l 1
'- development right and credits. What was being considered tonight could be folded into
that manual and become city policy.
Piasecki said that the general plan is driven by traffic concerns to a large degrce. That has
restricted square footage, thc location, and thc type of land usc that will occur in various
areas. Staftis finding that individual properties are seeking flexibility, and there seems to
be a need for criteria to usc when evaluating those cases.
City Manager Don Brown said Cupertino's tax structure is unique, in that Cupertino is a
low property tax city so office development doesn'tprovide mu~h revenue for the city.
However, them is a potentially significant gain for property owners by going from a retail
or commercial use to an office use, especially in today's economy. He said there was
very little fiscal gain to the city of that Lind of ll'ans£er, and there is thc potential of
cxacerbatiun of problems including peak hour traffic and the housing shortage.
Chang said perhaps the policy should not encourage cunve~sion of land usc from
commercial or retail to office, but if it is to be allowed it would be governed by these
eriteria.
Lowenthai said the city has been very traffic-driven in thc past, but be would like to have
the flexibility to move the numbers around and these criteria could help accomplish that.
Bumett said thc city council may initiate a general plan amendment when it benefits thc
community as a whole, and that was what be wantcd to see hapl~'n.
James said that they need to look at the overall view of whether to re, allocate and how to
accomplish that. She liked thc seven suggested parameters and the flexibility, and with
Bumett that them is a housing problem.
Statton said Cupertino is effectively built out, and any projects that come before council
will receive a great de, al of serutiny. He liked the scvcu criteria but felt they should be
expanded. He also thought it was apprepriatc for council to look at the gen~ai plan as a
whole at some point, because they had been using numbers that were historically handed
to them and it was time for a fresh look at them.
Piasecki said staffnecdcd directiun that thc seven criteria would be folded into thc
discussion about thc development intensity manual so it could ultimately become part of
city policy.
Mr. John Sbelton, 701 Harvard A~enue, representing the Santa Barbara Grill Group,
thanked staff for bringing this subject to the forefront. He agreed that currently them is a
housing crisis that must be addressed. He suggested adding two more criteria to thc list,
.- which would be some consideratiun of a small versus large, insignificant impa~t versus
significant impact) and cousidc~atiun of thc uniqueness of site characteristics. Mr.
March 20, 2000 Cupertino City Council Page 12
ShelWn said he did not think housing would work on the Santa Barbara Grill site and
council needed to take into account the unique site characteristics and size. They know it
will be a gateway project, and they want to do a job of which everyone will be proud.
Mx. David Wheeler, Cupertino CPA, said he could understand staff's concerns, and they
are asking for some criteria that should be evaluated.
Mx. Charles Newman, 10050 North Wolfe Road, Vallco Financial Center, said there were
two issues before cou~il: Should there be the ability to transfer credits, and reasonable
criteria to consider if they are considering a lransfer. He said they must be reasonable and
flexible, and he agreed with thc additional two criteria suggested by Mx. Sholton. He said
he hoped they would pass this on to the Planning Commission so the project now before
them could be dealt with through the criteria as established.
Burnett said he still had concerns. He thought that when each project comes in, 'the
developers should be asked how the change would benefit the community. His
preference would be to direct the staffto be very discriminating and to not bring projects
forward without some clear description of what the advantage to the community might be
in t=,~s of the seven criteria that are listed for any given change, and what the fiscal and
housing implications would be.
Chang said thc criteria looked fine but he did not want to give people the mistaken
impresaiun that this council was encouraging people to do this. He thought the preamble
to the criteria should be that if the council would consider such a situation, these would
be thc criteria that would bc considered. Lowenthal agreed that wording to that effect
should be added.
Piasocki said he understood that council would like these criteria to be folded into the
Development Intensity Manual with the suggested preambles and qualifications. Council
would have a chance to look at that language again at a late~ time.
22. Letter from Councilmember Buroctt regarding housing densities.
Burn~tt s~mmarized his letter and said ABA(3 will be allotting $00 more units to
Cupertino. He said ABAG is not s~king to provide enough units to solve thc housing
problem in the Bay Area, only about 50%, so that the oxt~mt of the extent of the housing
problem is sever~. He thought itwes appropriate to direct staffto follow thc general plan
requirements, which encourages high density. That requires good design and careful
integration into tho community, but them arc creative things that can be dune to make it
more tolerable. The city needs to do this mc~t thc nexis of the greater community, and
the ~*eation of a viable, walkable dowlltOWll community will require a lot ofpenple.
Lowenthai said ho would like to eliwln~t~ the words mi~imiT~o or maximize related to
density because the most impommt priority is that it is a quality project. He a~d with
March 20, 2000 Cupertino City Council Page 13
-- Burnett about dansity and said it could bc good for thc city if done in thc fight way. He
suggested leaving the range as it is and judging each project on overall merit.
Chang said that council had a good sense of the inteasity that it felt comfortable with and
seems to reach consensus on most projects. He said he didn't know if they needed thc
words minimize or maximize, and would prefer a moderate approach to this.
James said she al~xl with Burnett in many respects. She believed that council had to
address the issue of housing, and one way was to increase density by allowing higher
buildings. There would be older developmeats ready for renovation, and density should
increase there too. Also, there are retail developments to which housing could be added.
Council needs to start looking for those opportunities as well as educating the community
as to the advantages of increasing density.
Statton said there is very little affordable housing available regardless of income.
Historically people in the community have reacted adversely to proposals for denser
housing, but that is slowly changing. He said the issue is how to accommodate the
growth in this valley and provide affordable housing while retaining the suburban
character of the community. He said in general they should ~ry to make sure that the end
result is a very livable, walkable community.
· - Burnett said urbanists claim that what people are reai]y afraid of is crowding not der~sity,
and that has a lot to do with design. He said they have conducted preference surveys
where they show people developments and the people will oRen find the most dense
development the most attractive because it's well designed, so design really matters.
Another aspect of housing is a tradenff of unit size versus how many units are built.
Statton noted that housing issues might be a good topic for the ¢ommqrl.ity congreSS
planned for the fall.
ORDINANCES - None.

COUNCIL REPORTS
James said she spoke at a meeting of the Silicon Valley Manufacturing Croup regarding
Cupertino's affordable housing projects and the business-education link the City has with thc
Chamber of Commerce. She mentioned the opening for a new executive director for the
Tomorrow's Loaders Today program. She said the Economic Development Committee met last

Courier expre~ing frostration with the city over the below-market rate program. Lowenthal said
he attended a controversial school board meeting where they discussed the fifth middle school
site in the Cupertino school district. There's not enough money to build it, and until then there's

Summary
AGENDA ITEM / o AGENDA DATE April 3, 2000
SUBJECT AND ISSUE
Resolution setting a public hearing to remove thc ~raffic barrier at Stevens Creek Boulevard and Vista
Drive.
BACKGROUND
The City Council requested a public hearing to discuss the potential of removing the current turning
restriction at Stevens Creek Boulevard and Tone Avenue. The restriction was originally installed at
the request of the residents to prevent [.ATnneo Drive and Vista Drive from b~comlng a by=pass mute.
The by-pass would be utilized to avoid the intersection of Stevens Creek Boulevard and De Anza
Boulevard since it is, and will continue to be, the most congested intersection in town. The right turn-
in end right turnout also avoids traffic from accessing the neighborhoods to the south of Stevens Creek
Boulevard and further removes the possibility of the City Center utjli~in~o Vista Drive and Lazaneo
Drive as a direct mute to De Anza Boulevard.
A public hearin~ has been scheduled to discuss this matter on May 1, 2000. All ~sidents will be
notified of the hearing.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 00- , setting a public hearing to
discuss removal oftbe traffic barrie~ at Stevens Creek Boulevard and Vista Drive.

City Clerk Klm Smith,
Subject: Withdrawal of Appeal of Planning Commission Approval of Minor Modification
of Applications 3-ASA-00 and 4-ASA-00
I have met with Mr. Steve Zales from the O'Brien group to voice my concerns with the
adequacy of the number of wood sided houses being built at the Oak Valley development
at Rancho San Antonio Park. In response to my concerns he has a~eed that the homes
on lots 4, 7, and 19 will be built with wood sided construction. I view this as an adequate
response to my concerns.
In the light of this I wish to withdraw my appeal of Applications 3-ASA-00 and
4-ASA-00 subject to conf'mnation of this agreement. During our meeting Mr. Zales also
- pointed out that there arc 3 remaining lots which are City owned and that we have thc
option of specifying the type of construction to be used for these houses. I believe that
this will enhance the development's conformance with the spirit of the original agreement
for the development of this property.

Summary
Agenda Item No. I ~' Agenda Date: April 3, 2000
Subject:
Recommendations for use of twenty-sixth year (2000-01) Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds
Background:
The City of Cupertino will receive approximately $151,478 of CDBG discretionary funds and $15,000
of CDBG administration funds for Fiscal Year 2000-01. The discretionary mount is a reduction of $65
from last year's amount of $151,$43.
HUD regulations require that projects selected for fupding must benefit very low and low-income
households, eliminate a blighted area or address an urgent (emergency) community need. In addition,
-' only certain types of activities qualify under the CDBG regulations. Some examples of eligible
activities arc: removal of barriers to the handicapped, public improvements, public services, affordable
housing developments, rehabilitation and property acquisition.
Federal regulations pwvide that up to 15% of thc grant (excluding administration) may be used for
public services. To determine the public service cap, thc .County of Santa Clara takes 15% of the total
grant amount (excluding administration) plus income earned during the previous year. For the 2000-01
fiscal year, the public service cap has been increased from the 1999-2000 total of $32,374 to $34,507.
This represents a 6.6% increase from last year. Public services must benefit very low and low-income
households and include activities such as fair housing activities, childcare, placement services, senior
legal services, etc.
Council Priorities:
On Sanuary 3, 2000, the City Council determined priorities for thc 2000-01 and 2001-02 CDBG
program. The City Council may amend these priorities at any time. The priorities are as follows:
1. Emphasize the development of affordable housing opportunities by giving funding priority to
proposals that directly create affordable housing through new construction, acquisition, rehabilitation
or the prevision of emergency shelter.
2. Discourage the funding of public service activifieS"through the CDBG program. Instead recommend
- that non-profit agencies compete for funding through. }h.e county public scrvic~ pool of funding. If
public service agencies are funded, award the ~ds t~ o.nly those agencies that arc no.~t applying for
County CDBG funds for the same service and to those that are based in Cupertino.
H:~-CDBG\CCCDBG.doc
!
3. Award one grant to cover the screening and placement of eligible persons in affordable units at
Chateau Cupertino as well as other affordable units as they are developed.
4. Continue support of the Affordable Housing Fund (AHF) and the Housing Rehabilitation Program.
Request for Proposals:
In mid-January, staff distributad a notice of funding availability to approximately ten organizations. Out
of those organizations, four proposals have been received fi'om two organizations; Cupertino
Community Services and Senior Adults Legal Assistance. Detailed information on each request is
provided in the attached applications. A brief description of each proposal along with the Housing
Comm!ttee funding recommendation follows:
Public Service Grants:
1. Rotating Shelter Program
Cupertino Community Services, Cupertino
1997-98 Grant: $15,000
1998-99 Grant: $20,000
1999-00 Grant: $20,000
· 2000-01 Request: $25,000
Annual Goal: Provide a maximum of 90 days shelter to 60 to 65 homeless persons per
year in churches located in Cupertino, Saratoga and Sunnyvale. The
program also provides counseling end other support services to help
stabilize the guest's long term housing situation.
Description:
A total of 17 churches in Cupertino, Sunnyvale, Saratoga and Santa Clara participate in the
program, 12 of which are "host" churches. Each of the "host" churches provides shelter for a 30
day period. These "host" churches have the responsibility of providing the guest with meals,
YMCA passes for showers, etc. CCS provides additional support to the shelter guests, including
job counseling and assistance in finding transitional and permanent housing.
The agency is requesting funds to primarily cover personnel costs for the program and to
supplement their operating budget. The program is also requesting $15,000 from the city of
Sunnyvale and $8,950 from the county 0fSanta Clara. Total project cost is $113,678.
Recommendation: $25,000
Cupertino Community Services has been very successful in adr~inistering this program and it
remains one of the most successful rotating shelter programs in the county. CCS has applied to
the cities of San $ose, Sunnyvale and Saratoga and has been successful at receiving. County
Emergency Shelter Grant funding. Staff recommends the City continue its commitment to the
Rotating Shelter Program.

2. Affordable Housing Placement Program
- Cupertino Community Services, Cupertino
1997-98 Grant: 513,185
1998-99 Grant: $25,000 (CDBG: $7,221; Al-IF: $17,779)
1999-00 Grant $15,000 (CDBG: $7,374; AHF: $7,626)
2000-01 Request: $40,000
Annual Goal: Provide placement and necessary support services to 40 households (60
individuals). Continue expansion of services to cover placement of
individuals in City Center II Apartments, the Hamptons and the Arioso
apa~h~ents.
Description: Cupertino Community Services has been responsible for the screening and
placement services for ten senior units located at Chateau Cupertino as
well as below market rate rental units. They maintain a waiting list for
qualified applicants and pwvide services to those placed in the affordable
units. The agency recently purchased a four-plex on Greenwood Court
that serves as transitional housing for the Rotating Shelter Program.
Recommendation: $30,000 (CDBG: $3,007; Al-IF: $26,993)
The agency has successfully performed the necessary task of screening and placement for
Chateau Cupertino, City Center Apartments and compiling waiting lists for the below market
rate program. Cupertino Community Services also continues to expand services beyond the
scope specified by the City.
The project was originally developed as a "management" program for affordable units. It was
intended that as new affordable units were developed throughout the City, Cupertino Community
Services would absofo the responsibility of managing the new units for little or no extra cost.
The city does not expect a large volume of new rental units to be developed in the next year.
3. Senior. Adult Legal Assistance
1997-98 Grant: $5,000
1998-99 Grant: $5,000
1999-00 Grant: $5,000
2000-01 Request: $6,500
Description: Senior Adults Legal Assistance (SA.LA) provides free legal sci'vices to low
and very low-income seniors at the Cupertino Senior Center. Legal
services provided are in the area of consumer complaints, housing, elder
abuse, and simple wills.
Recommendation: $6,500
Diane Snow, the city's recreation supervisor in charge of the senior center, has stated that the
grant has helped tremendously during the past year and would like the services to be increased.
Last year, thc city council directed staff to work with SALA to incroase there services and
H:\-CDBG\CCCDBG.doc
funding level. With the increase in public service funding, staff is able to recommend the
additional $1,500 the agency requested. This additional funding will allow the agency to add 24
appointments annually.
Housing Development:
4. Cupertino Community Services
Vista Drive Affordable Development
1999-00 Loan: $1,600,000 (CDBG: $267,189.21; AHF $1,332,810.79)
2000-01 Request: $176,000
Description: On February 1, 1999, the City Council authorized a $1.6 million dollar
loan to Cupertino Community Services for the development of 24
affordable units.
Recommendation: 2000-2001 CDBG: $108,971
Transfer from rehab, income: $67,029
The city of Cupertino and the county of Santa Clara recently approved a lease for the property
located on Vista Drive near Stevens Creek Boulevard. It appears that this new development will
be under construction within the next two years.
Staff Support:
5. Staff Support:
Direct support for CDBG activities are eligible costs under the CDBG program. However, the
City must list individual line items for each activity. The following staff support line item is
being recommended:
Recommendation: Public Service Grant Implementation: $8,000 (CDBG)
6. Housing Rehabilitation Program:
Since 1976, the City has been offering low-interest loans to Iow and very-low income residents
of Cupertino for the rehabilitation of their homes. In October 1988, the City approved changes in
loan terms to increase the income generated from the program. The City no longer offers
deferred zero interest loans, opting instead for amortized loans with Iow interest rates (3%-6%).
Since these changes were instituted, there has been a steady increase in the amount of income
genarated by the program. The income generated is adequate to make the program self-
supporting.
Staff has determined that the program is too time and money intensive to continue as it is
currently organized. This year city of Cupertino will explore having the county assume the
· program for a nominal fee. County staff has been reluctant to pursue this in the past, but after
being approached by several cities, they seem willing to negotiate with interested parties. At this
time, staff is unable to provide additional information on the cost of having the county assume
the contract. Staff will report to the Housing Committee and City Council at future meetings on
the county proposal or provide additional options on the use of the CDBG rehabilitation program
income.
H:~*CDBG~CCCDBG.doc
Cupertino Housing Committee Meeting:
-' On March 9, 2000, the Cupertino Housing Committee met to discuss the CD~IG funding
recommendations for the 2000-01 fiscal year. Members agreed with most of staff's recommendations,
however, they are recommending full funding for the CCS Affordable Placement program and the Vista
Drive Affordable Development. Fully funding the Vista Drive development will not pose a problem
since sufficient funds are available in the rehabilitation loan revolving loan account f~om loan pay-offs.
However, the increase in the Affordable Placement Program funding amount from $15,000 in FY 1999-
2000 to $30,000 for FY 2000-2001 will require a substantial subsidy ($26,993) fi'om the in*lieu fee
portion of the Affordable Housing Fund (AHF).
Recommendations:
The Cupertino Housing Committee recommends that thc City Council accept its recommendations as
summarized in the table below.
Housing Committee Recommendations:
2000-01 CDBG Allocation:
Pwgram Administration: $15,000.00

SUMMARY
AGENDA NO. /-~ AGENDA DATE April 3, 2000
SUMMARY: File No. l-Z-00 (1-EA-00), PI~P.7.0NING of an existing single-family residential
lot to Pre-RI-10 (Single-family Residential Zoning Dist~ct, 10,000 square foot rolnlm~r~ lot size.)
- at 10322 N. Stelling Road (Applicant: Leonard Hufion-C~cater Bay Construction).
BACKGROUND: This is a Gardan Gate property owner-initiated prezoning that will allow the
property owner to annex his lot to the City in order to rebuild his single-family residence according
to City development standards. This prezoning application has been submitted at this time because:
I) the owner is unwilling to wait for an undetermined amount of time for thc City to begin its
own prezoning and annexation proceedings for Garden (~ate, and;
2) the City is willing to annex single Garden Crate lots if they are contiguous to City boundaries
- and do not involve excessive street annexation. This City position is evidenced by Council
adoption of the "pocket annexation strategy" on Febnmry 2, 1998 and the City's annexation
of the 10627 N. SteUing Road that is a similarly situated lot in Garden Gate.
The Planning Commission heard this item on March 13, 2000.
DISCUSSION:
Public:
No members of the public were present to speak on this item.
Stq~:
This preF_,onln~ project is very similar to one approved by the City Council in May 1999 on North
Stelling Road. In.both cases the lots abut City boundaries and do not require annexation of any
su~t section (Exhibit B).
Planning Commissioners:
The commissioners expressed concern about removal of specimen ~ees before prezoning and asked
staff to report on the County's tree preservation policies. The CommL~sion recommended approval
of the prezouing on a llnanlmons vote.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Plallr~ Commission recommends the following:
1) approval of a negative declaration (file no. 1-EA-00) for prezouing project file no. l-Z-00.
2) approval of the model ordinance prezoning 10322 Stelling Road to Pre-RI-10.

AGENDA ITEM /~ AGENDA DATE April 3, 2000
SUBJECT AND ISSUE
Report on residential permit parking and consideration for implementation on Hyarmisport Drive and
Dolores Avenue.
BACKGROUND
The City Council, at its meeting of March 20, 2000, discussed the subject of placing a moratorium on
permit parking until an overall master plan is developed. In order to evaluate permit parking, Council
requested a report on all permit parking locations in the City and the reasons for their implementation.
The City continued the petition for implementing permit parking on Hyannisport Drive to this meeting.
During that time, the City has also received a petition from the residents on Dolores Avenue. Both
neighborhoods have been notified of this meeting and should be in attendance.
Submitted is a map outlining the areas presently under the permit parking ordinance. This was originally
implemented as part of the general plan statement that the City is to protect neighborhoods from lend use
impacts. Public hearings were held during the original submittals and previous City Councils determined
that this was a worthwhile program to protect the neighborhoods from being directly impacted by land uses
such as schools, commercial businesses, etc. Currently, we require 2/3 signature and place it on consent
Calendar for Council appwval. The following are the sites and the reasons for the implementation:
· De Anza College Impact - De Anza College was short of parking spaces and continues to be
short during peak petiode. In addition, parking fees ate $28.00 per quarter. The City did
implement additional parking on Mary Avenue to assist the overflow, but it is felt that if the
parking restriction is removed, student parking would return to the neighborhood. In addition
to the weekday restriction, residents in the adjacent area requested additional protection during
the weekend due to activities at De Anza College, such as thc flea market.
· Monta Vista High School - Thc school has always had a shortage of parking for its students
and, therefore, parking overflow into the adjacent neighborhoods occurs.
· Restaurants and Bats - There is a lack of paddng during the peak periods from Friday through
Sunday, resulting in overflow parking in the neighborhoods.
· Memorial Park - As part of the expansion of Memorial Pazk and the building of the Quinlan
Center, an agreement was made with the residents to protect them fi'om increased parking on
their ~ueets during utilization of the Memorial Park facilities.
· S~cial Considerations (Cedar Tree and Santa Lucia) - These are special requests such as
church overflow parking on Cedar Tree and for Santa Lucia due to parking' restriction on
Stevens Canyon Road.
The maSOns given by the petitioners tends to be common for all categories. They are as follows:
· Blocking driveways
· Trash and debris in front yards
· Loitering
· Lack of parking for residents' use
· Property damage
· Confrontations
· Graffiti
· General inappropriate behavior
· Noise impact
~TAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Cily Council has the following options:
I. Con~nue to approve permit parking with criteria set forth.
2, Place a moreterium until new policy is established.
3, Deny the current requests before you,

BACKGROUND
On March 2, 2000 staff received a petition from the residents of Hysnnispon Drive requiting
permit parking be implemented along Hyannisport Drive between Fort Baker Drive and Linda Vista
Drive. The gathered signatures represented over 2/3rds (77%) of the resident owners on this
· - segment of the street.
The neighborhood has discussed their traffic and parking problems. They have experienced
increased ~raffic and parking problems over the past years. Nead~ streets, such as Fort Baker
Drive, Hynnnisport Drive (east of Fort Baker Drive), Presidio Drive, and Wilkinson Drive all
currently have permit parking. This year, Kennedy Middle School has added the sixth grade student
population from Regnart Elementnry School, which along with its recent remodeling, has increased
the parking and traffic impacts within this neighborhood.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff reeommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 00- ~ designating permit parking
every day on the north side of Hyannisport Drive between Fort Baker Drive and Linda Vista Drive.

City Clerk Mayor, City of Cupertino
PERMIT PARKING ON HYANNISPORT DRIVE
1. Does any member of the C/ty Coundl live on a street with a parking and
traffic situation like Hyannisport Drive? We have to live with this problem
every day and it is going from bad to worse.
2. Should our street be an extension of Monta Vista High School's parkin§ lot?
What rights do we have as residents who pay taxes to have a safe street?
The high school needs to address and solve the problem of parkinE. If there
is a scarcity of parking at the high school what are the alternatives? Use
the bus, walk?
3. There is a safety hazard when you try to back out of your driveway because
your view is obstructed by the parked cars making it very difficult to see
oncomln~ traffic from either side. Mornin~ and afternoon traffic is especially
heavy. Parents use the side streets off of Bubb Road onto to Hyannisport to
drop and pick up their children at the hig~h school, Kennedy and the back
gate of Lincoln School. Because some parents want to avoid the heavy traffic
on Bubb Road they use resident driveways to drop off their children, back
up and turn around on Hyannisport creating more safety problems.
· - Commuters who want to bypass Bubb and McClellan use Hyannisport to get
on to Foothill Expressway.
4. Students are careless when they park. We have had situations where we
have had to call the Sheriff's Office to ticket students because they partially
block the driveway mairlr~g it very difficult to maneuver your way around
their cars. Cars have even been towed because of this problem.
5. Trash (cigarette butts, fast food wrappers, and at times failed exam papers)
is dropped from cars. Garbage and recycleable pickup sites are blocked.
The city street sweeper cannot clean along the curbs.
6. Parking on Hyannisport is filled between 7:15 and 8:00 a.m. It is very
difficult for residents to find space for visitors or service people who come
to their home.
