APPLICANT: City of Cupertino ADDRESS: 10300 Torre Avenue, Cupertino, California 95014 SUBMITTED: April 4, 1983 LOCATION: Stevens Creek Boulevard generally bounded by Stern Avenue on the east and Stelling Road to the west excluding the Vallco Park area and Town Center area ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The approval is based upon the document entitled "Conceptual Zoning Plan - Stevens Creek Boulevard". PASSED AND ADOPTED this 25th day of April, 1983, at a regular meeting of the Planning Commission of the City of Cupertino, State of California, by the following roll call vote: AYES: NAYS: ABSTAIN: ABSENT: APPROVED: Is/ Victor J. Adams Victor J. Adams Planning Commission ATTEST: /s/ James H. Sisk James H. Sisk Planning Director CITY OF CUPERTINO CONCEPTUAL ZONING PLAN STEVENS CREEK BOULEVARD PLANNING AREA MAY 16,, 1983 Date of City Council Approval May 16, 1983 CITY OF CUPERTINO CONCEPTUAL ZONING PLAN FOR STEVENS CREEK BOULEVARD The Stevens Creek Boulevard Conceptual Plan is a zoning instrument which regulates land use for approximately 160 acres including properties located adjacent to Stevens Creek Boulevard between Stelling Road and Stern Avenue. The zoning plan regulates land use activities, building intensities and architectural and site design. The Stevens Creek Boulevard Conceptual Zoning Plan represents the initial step in the City's Planned Development Review Process. The physical development plan and development policies (conditions of approval) will have the same legal affect as plan exhibits and conditions of approval for a privately submitted plan. Therefore, individual property owners will not be required to submit individual conceptual zoning plans for subsequent development proposals. Property owners (applicants) will submit use permit applications as provided by the City's Planned Development Zone procedural requirements. Land Use Classification and Intensi Exhibit A identifies the zoning boundaries for the Planned Development Zone and the zoning districts in effect prior to the enactment of the PD Ordinance. Permitted land use intensities and land use types for properties within the boundary area are described below. Land Use Type and Location Office, commercial and residential land uses are permitted throughout the zone. However, the land use emphasis for properties located between Stelling Road and: De Anza Boulevard (the historical commercial district) is commercial. The land use emphasis for properties located east of De Anza Boulevard is office, particularly for those properties which abut adjoining single-family residential zoning districts. Land Use Intensity The intensity of development within the Stevens Creek Boulevard Planning Area is regulated by floor area ratio limitations and the use of the 16 one-way Trip End Performance Standard. The floor area ratio approach is utilized for properties located west of De Anza Boulevard. The specific ratios are .25 for commercial and .37 for office activities. Properties located east of De Anza Boulevard are regulated by the 16 One -Way Trip End Performance Standard. The Trip End Policy Manual which implements the General Plan policy regarding the trip end standard has been modified since its initial adoption in 1977. The modifications include a provision which allows trip ends to be transferred between Stevens Creek Boulevard and De Anza Boulevard properties and the Manual has been clarified to ensure that in no case shall an individual property be credited more than 16 one-way trip ends per acre regardless of existing or past activities that existed on the property. For example, if a relatively high intensity use which existed at the time the trip end standard was developed ceased to exist, a new use would be regulated by 16 one-way trip end standard. An applicant may not be allocated trips which equaled the traffic generated by a previous high intensity use. - 1 - Design Standards The general design standards contained within this zoning plan implement General Plan Design Policies which are intended to give the City its own distinct identity and enhance community nodes or focal points such as the Town Center, Vallco Park and De Anza College campus. The design objectives are also intended to solve functional problems such as the control of curb cuts to provide a better traffic flow on major arterials and to provide privacy protection and "light and air" for residential communities which border the Planning Area. Exhibit B illustrates some of the key design concepts for the Planning Area. Said concepts are expanded upon by the written conditions of approval described below: Relationship of Stevens Creek Boulevard Conceptual Plan to Existing Zoning Districts Approved Planned Unit Development zoning applications and use permits will remain in force and effect unless a property owner/developer applicant seeks approval of a major modification of approved uses or building and site design. If a major modification is sought, the revisions must conform with this zoning plan. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL FOR 3-Z-83 - CONCEPTUAL ZONING PLAN FOR STEVENS CREEK BOULEVARD 1.
