To: Mayor and City Councilmembers
Chairman and Planning Commissioners
From: Steve Piasecki, Director of Community Developme~
Date: August 8, 2001
Subject: Report of Director's Decision Regarding a Minor Modification to the Forum at
Rancho San Antonio
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.
Application
Modification of Application No. 32-U-85, 23600 Via Esplendor (The Forum) to enclose 500
square feet of an existing deck in an apartment building and convert it into office space.
Discussion
The Forum is a continuous care retirement center approved as part of use permit 32-U-85. The
property is zoned P(lnstitutional)-Planned Development zoning with institutional uses permitted.
The applicant proposes to enclose 500 square feet of an existing deck in Residential Building I,
a three-story apartment building, and convert it into a marketing office. The addition occupies
about two-thirds of an open patio space and maintains the existing open deck and railing along
the fa~ade. The project is designed to match the existing color, material (stucco),
windows/doors, and the roof profile and will be consistent with the architecture of the existing
building. Staff considers the addition minor and generally consistent with the approved use
permit.
The Forum has indicated that the office will accommodate two existing employees and will not
impact parking. Even if new employees were added due to the project, the City's parking
requirements would require about 2 parking spaces (1 space/285 sq. ft.) for the 500 square foot
office addition. There are currently 129 surface parking spaces in the immediate area for use by
employees and visitors. An informal parking survey by staff showed that the average parking
utilization was 70% during work hours, indicating that about 36 parking spaces were generally
vacant. Therefore, no additional parking is required for the project.
Action
The Director of Community Development deems the modification minor and approves the
modification as depicted in exhibits titled "The Forum Marketing Office Addition" dated July 30,
2001 and the accompanying letter from HKIT Architects.
This approval of the modification is effective August 8, 2001. The fourteen calendar day appeal
period will expire on August 22, 2001.
