From: Steve Piaseckt Director of Community Development Cut;-'
Date: February 13, 2002
Subject: Director's Minor Modification DIR-2002-02 (Modifies 9-U-00)
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.
DISCUSSION:
The owner of this property, Wayne Gong, received a use permit to remodel his existing
shopping center located at 19940-19990 Homestead Road. While going through the
building permit review, structural problems were identified that require him to modify
his plans. The first sheet of the enclosed plan set highlights the areas of the proposed
changes. The third sheet of the plan set highlights the areas as originally approved.
Structural problems do not allow the applicant to construct the canopy as shown in the
marked areas, due to the weight of the canopy. The applicant proposes to substitute
two trellis structures to soften the west elevation of the wall plane on Building A. Star
jasmine in the planting area will climb up the trellises.
No additional features are planned for the other elevations. The south elevation of
Building A faces the rear of the property, is minimally visible and is an alleyway that
does not allow for any landscaping treatment. The south elevation of Building B has
little visual impact, and there is existing landscaping along this wall.
ACTION:
The overall center is in need of remodeling, and staff supports the property owner's
efforts to resolve the buildings' structural limitations. The Director approves the
proposed modification.
