RESOLUTION NO. 1044 (Minute Order)
OF THE ARCHITECTURAL AND SITE APPROVAL
COMMITTEE OF THE CITY OF CUPERTINO
RECOMMENDING THAT THE PLANNING C0Ill4ISSION
RECONSIDER THE PROPOSED SIX -STORY OFFICE
BUILDING TO BE LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE
OF NORTH DE ANZA BOULEVARD, APPROXIMATELY
250 FT. NORTH OF STEVENS CREEK BOULEVARD
(APPLICATION 12-U-82).
The Committee makes the above recommendation for the following reasons:
1. The building needs to be set back from the street per the original
six -story proposal. This is important so that the block does not
have a "strip" appearance.
2. The perceived impact of the six -story building placed off the street
would be less than that of the four-story building placed on the
street.
3. It would be highly desireable to have the building placed back in the
middle of the asphalt so as to break up the mass of area there.
4. The six -story height would make a very pleasant "signature" to the
corner. In other words, the additional height helps emphasize the
importance of the corner without it being rammed down anybody's throat.
5. There are no residential areas that are affected.
6. In the original concept, the two buildings worked very much as a complex
and the negative space between the two was visually very important.
7. It's an "A" solution in an "A" location.
