Wumengjian Zhu 21346 Rumford Dr Cupertino, CA 95014 11/01/2025 City of Cupertino 10350 Torre Avenue Cupertino, CA 95014 Dear City Manager Tina Kapoor, Members of the City Council, and Planning Staff, I am writing as a resident of Cupertino to register my strong opposition to the proposed Mary Avenue Villas Project (APN: 326-27-053) on Mary Avenue, and to request that the City not approve this development in its current form or at this location. While I fully support the City’s goal of providing affordable housing and recognize the importance of serving our intellectually / developmentally disabled (IDD) community, I believe this site is fundamentally unsuitable, for the following key reasons: 1. Loss of public parking and narrowing of right-of-way The project proposes only 22 on-site parking spaces for 40 units (less than one per unit) but would eliminate a net of 89 public parking spots on both sides of Mary Avenue, and narrow the roadway by 19.5 feet (26 %) to accommodate the build. This creates a risk of parking overflow into surrounding residential streets and congestion, and reduces flexibility for deliveries, caregivers, visitors, and emergency vehicles. 2. Traffic, safety and functional access concerns With a narrow road, fewer parking spaces and greater density of occupants (including frequent caregiver or nurse visits for the IDD population), Mary Avenue risks becoming hazardous — for vehicles, bikes and pedestrians alike. The petition mentions that already turning left onto Lubec St from Mary Avenue is difficult; this project will only worsen the situation. Emergency access, public works access, delivery trucks and ambulances may all face impediments in this configuration. 3. Environmental hazard: lead contamination The site has been found to include state-classified hazardous lead waste (680 mg/kg) and a peer-review memo (May 16, 2025) contradicts the developer’s claim that a “one-time excavation and capping” will suffice—rather the peer review recommends ongoing county- level oversight and long‐term modifications to comply with municipal code. Given the vulnerability of the projected residents (IDD, extremely low‐income), the risk is unacceptable unless the contamination is fully resolved and monitored. 4. Lack of transparency and insufficient community input The petition contends that the project proponents have delayed the dissemination of key information, and that the public process has been hampered by withheld documents and mischaracterizations of approval status. For the sake of good governance and public trust, the City must ensure full transparency, robust community engagement and fair representation in decision-making. 5. Over-building & inappropriate site selection While I support affordable housing, this site appears to be over-built and under-planned: 40 units plus vulnerable population, with limited parking and a narrow street in a primarily residential neighborhood. A more suitable site within Cupertino should be identified—one that better aligns with traffic, parking, safety, environmental and infrastructure constraints. What I respectfully request: That the City delay any approval of the Mary Avenue Villas project until all key issues are addressed: site contamination remediation plan with monitoring assurances, complete parking/traffic impact study, right-of-way and emergency access analysis, and stakeholder/public review. That the project be relocated to a site better equipped (in terms of street width, parking capacity, traffic flow, environmental condition) to serve this community without creating adverse impacts on the neighborhood. That the City commit to full transparency in the approval process, with all relevant studies, data and decision-making materials made publicly available in a timely manner, and meaningful public hearings/responses. That the City ensures the project’s design and implementation meets all codes including §17.04.050(B) of the Cupertino Municipal Code concerning hazardous sites, and that public health/safety are given highest priority—not compromised in the drive to deliver housing. In sum: I am firmly in favour of affordable housing and support in principle the notion of serving vulnerable populations—but the current proposal for Mary Avenue is not appropriate for the location and, as currently constituted, poses traffic, parking, safety, environmental and transparency concerns for our community. Thank you for your attention to this important matter and for your service to our city. I trust you will carefully weigh the interests of the broader neighbourhood alongside the housing goals, ensuring that any development approved truly advances the health, safety and welfare of all Cupertino residents.

Hi there, It was brought to my attention that there is a group that is opposing the construction of the villas project on Mary Ave. I do not agree with their concerns, and instead am writing in support of the villas being built. Cupertino is in dire need of affordable housing, and we must do everything possible to build housing in the area and support those with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Hi Tina, I'm writing again to inquire about the status of the CMP pickleball sound attenuation plans. Has the engineering assessment taken place? Have you selected the solution deemed the best to mount on the fences? It's been over 3 months since our last communication. Players who have purchased quiet paddles are reporting that they are wearing out! The leadership team at Cupertino Pickleball Club are being asked by our 900+ members about the timeline. It would be great if we can provide people with an update. I would like to note in passing that one of our members generously purchased several quiet paddles so the community may try them out (or borrow them to play during quiet hours). The box was left at the bleachers because we did not (do not) have any means of storing them. The entire box of paddles were stolen with a matter of a couple weeks. The same is true of the club squeegee equipment - they are borrowed by tennis players, sometimes damaged and often unreturned. If we can secure access to the shed to store these minimal amount of gear, it would be a great service to the community. I know this matter should hardly be raised to your attention, but we don't have a robust channel of communication, so I'm raising it here.

I hear your concerns, and I want to offer a clear and respectful update on where things stand. First, I want to acknowledge the frustration that delays can cause. While we initially anticipated that the installation of the sound attenuating material on the fence would be completed within two weeks, the reality has proven more complex. I learned yesterday that our engineering team has determined that additional evaluation was necessary to ensure the fence meets both structural and sound attenuation requirements. This step is essential to ensure the solution is safe, effective, and sustainable. As a result, while work has begun, the full installation will take longer than originally expected. I understand that you feel this delay reflects a lack of integrity or transparency. I want to assure you that this is not the case. Our team is working actively to find a balanced and lasting solution—one that allows pickleball to continue in a responsible way while also responding to valid concerns about noise impacts. The projected timeline we provided was overly optimistic but was provided in good faith and in the interest of transparency. This mitigating measure is part of a compromise which reflects our desire to meet the needs of all residents and the City is committed to this effort. We value the efforts made by many in your club to adopt quieter equipment, adjust play hours, and encourage goodwill. The permanent striping – another gesture of support by the City - is also underway and is scheduled to be done in August. This partnership is essential to achieving a long-term resolution that works for everyone. Thank you again for your engagement and your patience as we complete this important work.

Dear City Clerk: Please consider the following as public input for the Cupertino City Council meeting. Thank you! -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Objective Design Standards From: Jennifer Griffin <grenna5000@yahoo.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2025, 11:51 AM To: citycouncil@cupertino.org,cityclerk@cupertino.org CC: grenna5000@yahoo.com Dear City Council: (Please consider this input as public input for Cupertino City Council meeting) I am very concerned about Cupertino going to only Objective Design Standards. The public has Been subjected to a dictatorial onslaught of high density housing bills in the last seven years. These bills have been handed down from Sacramento without the public being able to discuss or Vote on the merit or validity of these bills. These bills have resulted in the people of Cupertino being called names and bullied. If anyone questions what these bills are doing, The public is immediately yelled out and told they are not good enough to live in their neighborhoods. It is understandable then that these groups saying the city has to use objective design standards Would be met with great skepticism and fear. I do not think the city should adopt objective design standards. Based on past behavior by the housing Bill authors and those seeking to limit local control, I am convinced objective design standards are just Another type of scam from Sacramento to separate the public in each city from their homes. I do not believe it is in the best interest of Cupertino to adopt objective design standards. I think it is an attempt to mislead and frighten and take advantage of the public. This can be the only logical conclusion from the past practices of the housing bill authors who have Tried so hard for the last seven years to tell the public in California they are no good and Do not deserve to live in this state. The housing bill authors and members of the California legislature only have themselves to blame. Thank you.

Attention Please City Council Members... Memorial Park has now become a place where local events can be held bringing the residents of Cupertino together as a Community. The renovation of the Oaks shopping center has presented parking challenges already during Community Events held at Memorial Park & DeAnza College. What about the high rise with an additional 136 units left to build? Where are they going to be parking? On Mary Avenue, just like the new residents of the units that have been completed. There was adequate parking when we looked at the plans! This project does not resemble anything that the residents were shown. I went to those meetings. Why was the developer ever allowed to sell half of the property? This is a red flag that developers are making these decisions? I went on my daily walk in September to Memorial Park, the streets were packed with cars looking for parking, pedestrians, walkers,dog walkers, dog park participants, and meet up cycling groups. There was a Community Event being held at Memorial Park. The cars were stopped in the street on Mary Avenue trying to get onto Stevens Creek as far as the dog park. Along with cars coming from Stevens Creek, all stopped, no parking spaces for any of these vehicles.. The apartments put up signs and barricades restricting parking. My husband coming from Millard Lane near the footbridge was forced to exit through Steiling and go out through Homestead to get to Stevens Creek & Foothill. What you don't realize is that many of the residents living here can no longer safely navigate down Mary Avenue to Stevens Creek. We're trapped, in the event of an emergency how will we all be able to exit onto Stevens Creek from Mary Avenue ? We have encouraged residents from Sunnyvale to walk, and bike over the bridge. This includes Homestead's cross country runners who run to DeAnza College after school. Like many others we walk or ride bikes over this bridge into Sunnyvale, and we welcome them into our City. Before adding new projects, resolve the Oak shopping center parking issues. The area is already impacted, and limited parking creates a safety risk for residents. I went to the Cupertino Service yard on Monday to discuss the 7 employee cars that were parked on Millard Lane. No parking available on Mary Avenue for the employees. Please think about the residents , and the risks associated by narrowing Mary Avenue. Five residents per unit, who polices this rule? That's a minimum of 2 cars per unit. Along with caregivers, hospice, physical therapists, occupational therapists, how many cars is that? The dog park only has two spots designated for their use, will the other spots be used for this project ? We worked hard to get that dog park for the residents. This park is social and full of life in the late afternoon when it provides shade for pets & its owners. A fun & safe place to gather as a Community. Before adding new projects please resolve the Oak shopping center parking issues . Where is the underground parking that the residents were promised on this project? The area is already impacted, limited parking creates a safety risk for residents and pedestrians. I purchased my home 38 years ago with the understanding I could exit onto Stevens Creek without risk. My neighbors & myself are apprehensive navigating down Mary Avenue, fearing someone is going to back up into them. We don't need any more cars on the street PLEASE to make things easier on everyone, consider a different location with better parking options. Bubb road behind Union 76 lots of empty buildings rezone the space. There are lots of vacant buildings in Cupertino where orchards once were, rezone and repurpose those buildings before we overbuild Mary Avenue I am asking you to listen with empathy to the concerns raised by the residents of Cupertino, prioritizing input from our Community. Sincerely, Linda Stephens resident since 1955
