Subj: Report of Director's Decision Regarding a Minor Modification
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 Councilmember or Planning Commissioner
to appeal the decision within fourteen calendar days.
Application
Modification of Condition 18 of Use Permit Application No. 6-U-97, O'Brien Group (Diocese
of San Jose) to allow a 2x4 opening wire fence rather 4x4 opening wire fence.
Discussion
Condition 18 of the Use Permit specifies that adjacent to development Area 1 (Area B) on the
attached site plan, the applicant shall install fences which are 7' high and made of 4x4 wire. The
O'Brien Group states that 4x4 wire is not a standard manufactured item, and they propose 2x4
wire openings. They also believe that 2x4 wire openings are sturdier and more difficult to climb
than the 4x4 openings.
Staff checked with Santa Clara County Parks Department to determine if they had any concerns
about this modification, and they do not. Staff has no problem with the proposed change.
Action
The Director of Community Development approves the modification to condition 18 to allow a
2x4 opening fence.
