Euphrat Museum of Art and its Arts in Schools program. Budget constraints resulted in the
elimination of fine arts grants for several years, although in 2006-07 a portion of the grant money
was reinstated and awarded to the Distinguished Artist of the Year and to the Euphrat Museum of
Art.
SERVICE OBJECTIVES
Review and approve public art projects required for developments over 50,000 square feet.
Promote programs and activities that provide a direct cultural benefit to the citizens of Cupertino,
with special emphasis on groups not likely to receive regular exposure to the arts.
Actively encourage business and community participation in the arts.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Planning Commission is afive-member eitize:n board appointed by the City Council to make
or recommend decisions on matters pertaining to land use and physical development. The major
work of the Commission is to conduct public hearings on "current planning" applications. The
Director of Community Development and the City Planner serve as staff liaisons.
The Commission also advises the City Council on land use and development policy through
study sessions and formal hearings on issues necessary to maintain the current status of the
General Plan. The Commission also undertakes I~eriodic review of implementation ordinances
and issues interpretations of these documents.
SERVICE OBJECTIVES
Conduct periodic reviews of the General Plan. 'Chese reviews test the fundamental goals and
measure performance of short-term objectives.
Conduct public hearings for approximately 75 land development applications. Ensure that
decisions aze made fairly and expeditiously in accordance with adopted General Plan policies,
zoning ordinances, development plans and design guidelines.
Prepare specific plans, zoning ordinance amendments and amendments to the General Plan.
Serve on the Planning Commission Design Review Committee, the Environmental Review
Committee and in an advisory role to the Housing Commission and Economic Development
Committee.

Agenda Date: A~ri115, 2008
Application: Approve Planning Commission Work Program for 2008
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the 2008 Work
Program, with two modifications as described below.
BACKGROUND
The Planning Commission adopted its work program on March 25, 2008, which is
forwarded to the City Council for final approval. A matrix describing the proposed
Work Program is enclosed (Exhibit A). New projects are based on the adopted City
Council goals for 2008-2009 (Exhibit B). Other projects consist of those carried over
from 2007, as well as private developments.
DISCUSSION
A major new project this year is the required review of the General Plan s Housing
Element. Adoption of ABAG's regional housing allocation is required by June 2009.
Staff is currently reviewing proposals from consultants who will assist in preparing the
Housing Element; a draft will be available in the fall.
The Historic Preservation Policy was on last year's work program, but was initiated this
year. Members to serve on a Historical Preservation Advisory Committee are being
solicited at this time. The Committee will recommend non-residential structures/sites
for historical consideration in terms of preservation or commemoration.
The Sustainability/Green Building project will continue throughout the year, with a
progress report to the City Council in May regarding the City's voluntary green
building program, options for the future and opportunities for other sustainability
programs.
A major new private development is Sand Hill Properties mixed-use proposal on the
17-acre site on Stevens Creek Boulevard in the South Vallco area. A community
outreach effort, related to the South Vallco Master Plan, will occur March -June.

PLANNING COMMISSION DISCUSSION
The Planning Commission approved the 201)8 Work Program, with two additional
recommendations for the City Council's cor~sideration:
Green Buildings/SustainabilitX
The Commission requests that the City be a;;gressive in implementing the green
building/sustainability program, by including allocations in the budget for green
programming/staffing and training of p1an~ling and building staff. The Planning
Commission also requests that they be included in future public discussions, workshops
and hearings on this subject.
Single-Family Residential Floor Area Ratio IFAR
The Planning Commission discussed the issue of the lack of certainty for the single-
family residential floor area ratio maximum of 45%, since the City Council recently
required a lower floor area ratio for a new residence on Vai Avenue. One point of view
was that, regardless of one's opinion of large homes, people prefer certainty over
uncertainty, and if lower FAR's are desired, a prescriptive approach should be taken.
Another point of view was that the problem of large homes isri t pervasive; opening up
the R1 ordinance to address the FAR is a large undertaking, and there are other
priorities for the City's limited resources.
The Planning Commission recommends, 3 yes, 2 no (Giefer and Rose), that the City
Council add a review of the Rl ordinance, ~-ith a focus on the Floor Area Ratio, to the
work program. There was a suggestion than this could be a low priority project, to be
undertaken as time and resources become a~~ailable.
PUBLIC
One person spoke from the public, stating tYiat the R1 ordinance already is prescriptive,
and City resources should be directed toward other priorities.
STAFF
Staff comments included the view that there are limited staff resources to bring this
issue forward, and that it can be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. The Council
decision on Vai Avenue can be treated as "c~ise law" for the City, and staff can advise
applicants accordingly. Neighborhoods can come to the City for assistance in
developing unique regulations, as did the F~~irgrove/Eichler neighborhood.
