CITY OF CUPERTINO
CONCEPTUAL ZONING PLAN
SCENIC BOULEVARD/RIVIERA ROAD PROPERTIES
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to delineate policies for the future development
of approximately 1.6± acres generally located on, the east side of Scenic Boulevard
approximately 325 ft. northerly of Palm Avenue as more specifically located
on the attached exhibits.
Background
The Scenic Boulevard/Riviera Road area is an environmentally sensitive area
due to its very steep slope areas along the easterly side of the properties and
its location adjacent to the present natural Stevens Creek environment. Develop-
ment of these properties could be potentially damaging to the natural Stevens
Creek environment which is recognized in the City of Cupertino Comprehensive
Plan as a valuable environmental resource to the community. The Planned Develop-
ment zoning approach is deemed appropriate to provide the flexibility necessary to
permit development of the subject properties consistent with the City of Cupertino's
density -limitations under the General Plan while protecting the natural Creek
environment and minimizing building activity along the severe slope embankment
located along the easterly portion of the subject properties.
Development Review Process
This Conceptual Plan represents the initial step in the approval process for
subsequent development of the subject property. As stated in Section 5.2 of
the Planned Development Zoning Ordinance, a Conceptual Plan shall contain
sufficient information to define the land use type, intensity, primary street/
access system, and a community design relatedobjectives to guide the property
owners in the preparation of either a supplemental Conceptual Zoning Plan or
Use Permit which is the second procedural step in Planned Development approval
process.
Land Use and Site Design Policies/Conditions of Approval
The Conceptual Plan embodies land use on the site and building design policies
which are general in nature and which will be further defined in conjunction with
subsequent use permit applications.
Conditions of Approval
1. The zoning approval is based upon the Conceptual Development Plan, labeled
Exhibit A-1 and the applicant's submitted plan, labeled Exhibit A-2 and the
1-14 City of Cupertino Standard Conditions of approval as may be modified
by the special conditions of approval enumerated below.
2. The approval is to allow residential land uses which shall have the option of
constructing within the existing property line configuration provided that
an appropriate access plan can be worked for each individual property. The
parcel, labeled Lot No. 28 on Exhibit A-1 (Lands of Root), shall have the
ability to obtain access via a private roadway easement from the existing
extension of Riviera Road across Lands of Shaikh (Parcel No. 29 on Exhibit A-1).
The building form on Parcel No. 28 shall otherwise meet all of the constraints
and setbacks established under the City of Cupertino's residential hillside
zoning district (RHS Zone) with the added provision that the structure shall
be planned in a manner which blends with natural Creek environment and
represents the very minimal extent of grading necessary to accommodate the
building form. The access plan for Lot No. 28 shall incorporate and conform
with the requirements of the Santa Clara County Central Fire Protection
District with respect to emergency access and turn -around areas.
3. The property involved in the subject application (including Parcel No. 28)
shall have the option of re -arranging lot lines along a cluster housing
format and/or providing the remaining areas of access via private roadway
standards established under the City of Cupertino R1C (Residential, Single-
family Cluster) zoning district.
4. Any and all building activity with the exception of additions to existing
structures, shall require use permit review before the Planning Commission
and City Council.
5. Property owners involved in the. subject application shall forfeit all
rights of access to Riviera Road with the exception of Lot No. 28.
6. It is the intent of this Conceptual Zoning Plan that this Planned Development
zoning shall be linked with subsequent applications for zoning and/or annexation
with adjoining properties similarly situated between Riviera Road and Scenic
Boulevard.
7. With the exception of Lot No. 28, the building area shall generally be restricted
to the flatter westerly portions of the subject properties to minimize the
degree of disruption of the natural vegetation along the embankment adjacent
to the Riviera Road "paper street" area.
8. Properties designed as Parcels No. 25 and 26 shall agree to dedicate land for
a public cul-de-sac along the northerly property line or cooperate by agreeing
to enter into reciprocal ingress/egress easements with the adjoining property
to the north should said property desire to prezone and annex.
