SECTION II: FINDINGS FOR A TENTATIVE MAP:
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Cupertino received an application
for a Tentative Map as described in Section I of this resolution; and
WHEREAS, the project is determined to be categorically exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(1) of the CEQA
Guidelines because the proposed project would meet the requirements of the Public
Resources Code (PRC) Section 21080.66(a); and
WHEREAS, on March 24, 2026, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public
hearing to receive staff's presentation and public testimony, and to consider the
information contained in the Exemption Memorandum along with all staff reports, other
pertinent documents, and all written and oral statements received prior to and at the
public hearing; and
WHEREAS, on March 24, 2026 the Planning Commission recommended on a X -X vote
that the City Council approve the Use Permit (U-2024-008) in substantially similar form
to the Resolution presented (Resolution No. 2026-11), approve the Architectural and Site
Approval Permit (ASA-2024-011) in substantially similar form to the Resolution

EXHIBIT TM
WHEREAS, all necessary public notices having been given as required by the City of
Cupertino Municipal Code and the Government Code, and the Planning Commission
held at least one public hearing in regard to this application; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Cupertino is the decision -making body for
this Resolution; and
WHEREAS, the applicant has met the burden of proof required to support the application
for a Tentative Map; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds as follows with regard to this application:
a. That the proposed subdivision map is consistent with the City of Cupertino
General Plan.
The subject property is consistent with the General Plan since the property is permitted to
have up to 25 dwelling units an acre pursuant to the vesting provisions of SB330 which
vested the development standards to those that were in place in April 2024.
b. That the design and improvements of the proposed subdivision are consistent
with the General Plan.
The off -site improvements are consistent with the City's General Plan and Heart of the
City Specific Plan policies related to applicable pedestrian and bicycle safety, with
improvements made in accordance with the right-of-way design and the urban canopy
within the public right-of-way. While the development is required to have a 35 foot setback
from the street facing side of the curb, state density bonus law requires the City to waive
local development standards to accommodate a project as designed, and still consider the
design consistent with the General Plan and Specific Plan.
c. That the site is physically suitable for the type of development contemplated under
the approved subdivision.
The proposed tentative map is compatible with the adjoining land uses and no physical
constraints are present that would conflict with the anticipated land use and development.
Moreover, there are no topographical anomalies that differentiate this property from
adjacent properties and the site is located on the valley floor and is not listed within any
environmentally sensitive zone.
d. That the site is physically suitable for the intensity of development contemplated
under the approved subdivision.
The subject property is physically suitable in size and shape and in conformance to
development standards and is configured to accommodate a multi -unit development like
the one proposed.
EXHIBIT TM
e. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to
cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish
and wildlife or their habitat.
The design of the subdivision and proposed improvements will not injure fish and wildlife
or their habitat because the property is a previously developed site, with no fish and wildlife
habitat in the vicinity; the site is located in an urbanized area where residential land use is
allowed.
f. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements associated
therewith are not likely to cause serious public health problems.
The proposed subdivision design and improvements will not cause serious public health
problems. The project has access to sewer connections, water services and electric services.
The proposed development is consistent with the intent of the policies of the General Plan
for a development of this density on this site, and the on -site and off -site improvements
improve neighborhood walkability through improved parkway and sidewalk construction
with size -appropriate driveway curb -cuts and street and private tree planting.
g. That the design of the subdivision and its associated improvements will not
conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use
of property within the proposed subdivision.
No easement or right-of-way exists currently that would be impeded or conflict with the
proposed subdivision. New public access easements will be required to address General
Plan Mobility Element Policies M-2.5 and M-3.2, and Land Use Element Strategy LU-
13.7.3, as identified on the approved map. These easements shall be maintained to allow for
public access through the property.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
That after careful consideration of maps, facts, exhibits, testimony and other evidence
submitted in this matter, subject to the conditions which are enumerated in this
Resolution beginning on PAGE 4 thereof, and those contained in all other Resolutions
approved for this Project.
The application for a Vesting Tentative Map, Application No. TM -2024-006, is hereby
approved, and that the sub -conclusions upon which the findings and conditions specified
in this Resolution are based and contained in the Public Hearing record concerning
Application No. TM -2024-006 as set forth in the Minutes of the City Council Meeting of
April 7, 2026 meeting, and are incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein.

system via a manhole. Required full trash capture inlet devices are installed within
the existing offsite inlets along Stevens Creek Blvd and Alves Dr. With the project
proposing to connect to some of these existing inlets along Stevens Creek Blvd and
Alves Dr, there is a concern that potential onsite flooding may occur due to the
blockage of these devices. The Developer shall consider reconfiguring the
proposed storm drain connections to connect directly to a manhole. However, if
this cannot be achieved, the Developer shall provide a letter from the Owner
stating the City will not be held liable if the trash capture devices cause onsite
flooding.
