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 ~
Prepared by: Piu Ghosh, Assistant Planner
Date: October 19,2006
Subject: Director's Minor Modification, DIR-2006-32, to install a fence and create a yard
area for a learning school located at 19220 Stevens Creek Boulevard.
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 an appeal
of the decision within fourteen calendar days.
DESCRIPTION:
The subject property is located at 19220 Stevens Creek Boulevard between Finch
Avenue to the west and Tantau Avenue to the east. It shares a rear property line with
Cupertino High School.
The applicant proposes to enclose an existing open area at the rear of an existing
building. . The building is going to be used as a learning school. The applicant plans to
enclose the open area to create yard space for use by children during recess. The
applicant proposes to do this by installing a four-foot tall decorative fence at the rear of
the learning center.
DISCUSSION:
Since the building is located in the Planned (P) zoning district, any exterior
modifications to the site need to be reviewed by the Planning Department. The existing
open area is currently covered by ground cover and unusable as a yard since it is open
to a driveway at the rear. This driveway has reciprocal ingress egress easements with
the properties on either side and runs from Finch A venue to the property to the east of
the subject property. Since this driveway is used by all three properties that share it, it
will be unsafe to use the open area as a yard without enclosing the area.
The applicant plans on changing the landscaping planter to the east to grass. She plans
on changing the landscaping planter to the west to grass in the future. The applicant has
verbally indicated that there are no plans to add any play structures in this area. Staff
has reviewed the plans for these exterior changes and believes that there will be no
adverse impacts due to the construction of the fence and change in the landscaping.

the conditions contained hereafter in this approval.

day appeal period will expire on November 2, 2006.
