DIR-2007-34b CITY OF CUPERTINO 10300 Torre Avenue, Cupertino, California 95014 (408) 777-3308 To: Mayor and City Council members Chairman and Planning Commissioners From: Steve Piasecki, Director of Community Development Colin Jung, Senior Planner ~ ~, ~.~. November 20, 2007 Date: Subject: Director's Minor Modification, DIR-2007-34, to a Use Permit (15-U-74) to repaint the building and improve the landscaping at an existing shopping center, 20916 & 20956 Homestead Road Chapter 19.132 of the Cupertino Municipal Code allows for administrative approval of minor changes in a project. The Director reports his decision to the City Council and Planning Commission in time to allow any Council member or Planning Commissioner to appeal the decision within fourteen calendar days. BACKGROUND: The applicants, Bay 18 Joint Venture and the Armanini Family Fund, are proposing improvements to their adjacent commercial buildings in a shopping center located at the southeast corner of Homestead Road and Stelling Avenue. The improvements are being proposed at the direction of City Council who is reviewing a rezoning of the two properties from P(REC, ENTER, LTD COM) to CG (General Commercial). The purpose of the rezoning is to allow the property owners to attract a greater range of commercial and office tenants than the current zoning allows. DISCUSSION: Both buildings need repainting to update the drab wall and roof colors (Exhibit A) and both buildings will be painted the same colors. Additional trees are proposed along Homestead Road and shrubs at the rear of the center (Exhibt B). The trees are 24" box London Plane trees that will grow to a large enough size and tall enough height to provide a nice streetscape without obscuring the building signage. The oleander shrubs are small, but fast-growing, and will provide a sufficient landscaping buffer between the rear parking lot activities and the adjacent apartment building. ACTION: The Director of Community Development deems the modifications minor and approves the minor modification, file no. DIR-2007-34 per the submitted Exhibits A & B for 20916 and 20956 Homestead Road. This approval of the modification is effective November 20,2007. The fourteen calendar day appeal period will expire on December 4,2007.
