CUPERTINO Summary Agenda Item No. J1 Agenda Date: June 5, 2007 Application: Z-2006-06, EA-2006-20 Applicant: Olivia Jang Owner: Eric Huang & Carolyn Armanini Location: 20916 & 20956 Homestead Road, APN 326-09-052, -0061 Application Summary: . REZONING of a 2.2-gross acre site from Planned Development (Recreation, Entertainment, Limited Commercial) to CG (General Commercial). . ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: Negative Declaration recommended. The project will have no significant, adverse environmental impacts. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission recommends on a 5-0 vote that the City Council: 1. Approve the Negative declaration, file number EA-2006-20. 2. Approve the Rezoning application, file number Z-2006-06, in accordance with Resolution No. 6441, Ordinance No. 07-1994 Project Data: General Plan Designation: Commercial/Residential Existing Zoning Designation: P(REC, ENTER, LTD COM) Proposed Zoning Designation: CG Gross Acres: 2.2 Net Acres: 1.86 Existing Building Area: 19,060 square feet BACKGROUND At its meeting of January 9, 2007, the Planning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval of this rezoning project (See Planning Commission Resolution and Exhibit A- 1). 13 - 1 File Nos.: Z-2006-06, EA-2006-20 Page 2 June 5, 2007 At its February 6, 2007, the City Council voted 5-0 to continue the application for 60 days, citing its concerns that the rezoning of the properties to CG (General Commercial) would not of itself improve the property conditions or maintenance, nor improve the strength of the tenant mix. The Council asked the applicant to come back in 60 days with a program for improving the property prior to its consideration for rezoning. At the hearing several members of the public spoke in favor of the rezoning and another resident spoke against it. Staff has been working with the applicant to identify issues that may have contributed to the decline of the recreation and entertainment center. The applicant has requested two l-month continuances to today's date, in order to identify property maintenance issues, feasibility, costs and enlist the support of the abutting bowling alley property owner who owns fee title of the majority of the parking lot. DISCUSSION: The applicant, Olivia }arig, has. submitted the attached letter stating the property owners' intentions to improve the property (Exhibit A-2). It includes: . Removing graffiti, . Increasing maintenance of grounds, . Fixing and repaving rear parking lot, . Resealing, recoating and restriping the front parking lot, . Repaving the rear pedestrian path transition, . Improving the landscaping for the rear parking lot, . Repainting the buildings. with a brighter color, . Repairing the concrete in the garbage bin area, and . Increasing or updating the parking lot lighting. Please note that this letter does not include the involvement of the Homestead Lanes property owner who owns most of the parking lot fronting on Stelling Road (80%) and. half of the building facade, whose maintenance has a significant impact on the appearance of the entire recreation and entertainment center. 1) If the City Council feels the listed improvements and maintenance items are inadequate to upgrade the appearance of the center, the Council may a) Deny the rezoning action; or b) Request additional property improvement actions with the agreement of the property owners. 2) If the City Council feels the listed improvements and maintenance items are adequate to upgrade the appearance of the center, it has several options: 13 - 2 File Nos.: Z-2006-06, EA-2oo6-20 Page 3 June 5,2007 a) Approve the negative declaration- and rezoning application, and rely on the owners' promise to upgrade the center over time as described; b) Approve the negative declaration and rezoning application, and require the owners to submit a performance bond for the improvements. If the owners fail to do the improvements, the City will exercise the bond and do the improvements itself; c) Continue the rezoning hearing until such time the improvements are completed. Staff can provide bimonthly progress reports to inform the Council on the center's renovation work. If the Council is satisfied with the list of improvements, then staff recommends Option 2c. The other options do not provide assurances the work will be completed, or rely on the City to perform the work on private property.

May 30, 2007 Dear Cupertino City Council: Thank you for giving us the opportunity to work with the City of Cupertino on the rezoning considerations for our property at 20916 & 20956 Homestead Road. We would like to propose the following course of actions to improve our shopping center environment: List of improvement actions to be done on our property: 1. Remove any graffiti from the front and back of the property. 2. Increase maintenance of the grounds. 3. Fix and repave the rear parking lot, Reseal, recoat, and re-stripe the front parking lot. 4. Repave the rear pedestrian path transition. 5. Improve the landscaping for the rear parking area. 6. Repaint the buildings with brighter color to create a fresher and unified appearance. 7. Repair the concrete in the garbage bin area in the back parking lot. 8. Increase and/or update the parking lot lighting system List of actions for our neighboring properties and their response: 1. We contacted and met with the property owner of Homestead Lanes numerous times and proposed that he carry out similar improvement, such as: repaving their parking lot, repainting their building, and adding additional landscaping to improve the appeal of the overall parking lot area He initially expressed some interest and we worked together and got several quotations for all three properties, including repaving of the parking lot and repainting of the buildings. We even proposed hiring a paint consultant. After he received the bids, he told us that he would need to get his Partners' approval. We have not received confirmation from him that Homestead Lanes wishes to participate in these endeavors. Page 1 of2 13 - 4 (Continue from Page 1 of 2) 2. We would like to emphasize that most of the front parking area is under the jurisdiction of Homestead Lanes, therefore their cooperation is imperative because they own close to 80% of the overall parking area, as well as 50% of the building facade. 3. The owner of McDonald's told us that they might be interested in repaving their parking lot. However, they need to wait until next year or the year after next year, but are definitely not interested this year. List of actions for future tenants IJrocurement 1. We will definitely diversify tenants in addition to having restaurants and beauty shops. 2. We will actively seek retail type tenants. 3. We will put particular emphasis on specialty jewelry stores, cell phone/communication stores; electronics stores such as Radio Shack, and printing/copying store. We thought of other categories such as auto parts store (such as NAPA CarQuest) but they usually require much large footage than what we can offer.

REZONING of a 2.2-gross acre site from Planned Development (Recreation, Entertairunent, Limited Commercial) to CG (General Commercial). . ENVIRONMENT AL DETERMINATION: Negative Declaration recommended. The project will have nO,significant, adverse environmental impacts. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission recommends on a 5-0 vote that the City Council: 1. Approve the Negative declaration, file number EA-2006-20. 2. Approve the Rezoriing application, file number Z-2oo6-06, in accordance with Resolution No. 6441, Ordinance No. 07-1994 Project Data: General Plan Designation: Commercial/Residential Existing Zoning Designation: P(REC, ENTER, LID COM) Proposed Zoning Designation: CG Gross Acres: 2.2 Net Acres: 1.86 Existing Building Area: 18,700 square feet in two buildings BACKGROUND The applicant, acting on the behalf of two property owners, is requesting a rezoning of two properties within a commercial center located at the southeast corner of Homestead Road and Stelling Avenue. The center is surrounded by multifamily residential uses to the east and south, commercial uses to the west and north, and multifamily residential uses also to the north. The request is to change the zoning from P(REC, ENTER, LID 13 - 6 File Nos.: Z-2006-06, EA-LOO6-20 Page 2 February 6,2007 uses also to the north. The request is to change the zoning from P(REC, ENTER, L TD COM) to CG (General Commercial). The present zoning allows only recreation uses, entertainment uses and related commercial uses, and requires a use permit for every change in use. A change to 1/ CG" would allow the center to compete more effectively with surrounding commercial centers (Exhibit A-2). At its meeting of January 9,2007, the Planning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval of this rezoning project (See Planning Commission Resolution). DISCUSSION Planning Commission Comments One Commissioner asked if it was feasible to redevelop or re-tenant the commercial spaces with larger tenants. A majority of Commissioners were interested in obtaining better maintenance and improvements in the parking areas and landscaping. Public Comments Seven members of the public spoke in favor of the rezoning to give the property owners more flexibility in attracting tenants and creating a more diverse commercial center. One resident spoke against the rezoning, saying the center should instead be remodeled to make it more attractive and workable as a recreation and entertainment center. Applicant Comments The property owners and applicant asked for the Commission's endorsement of the rezoning. They mentioned that some of the allowed uses were not viable or attracted to Cupertino, while others had large space needs that could not be accommodated in a center that provides only small tenant spaces (1,000 - 3,000 sq. ft.). The restrictive zoning does not allow them to compete effectively with other nearby commercial centers. Staff Comments. . Staff pointed out that the shopping center consisted of four properties under different ownerships and two of the properties; McDonald's Restaurant and Homestead Lanes have never expressed an interest in rezoning. Both buildings have specialized improvements that do not lend themselves to re-tenanting without significant remodeling work. The Commission was interested in maintenance and landscaping enhancements in the parking area of the commercial center, but it was noted by staff that most of the parking was located on the Homestead Lanes property, which is not part of this rezoning application. The two properties involved in this rezoning are under different ownerships. There is one multi-tenant building on each lot. One is about 11,600 square feet in size; the other is about 7,100 square feet. Even if the tenant spaces could be consolidated, the buildings are too small for larger retailers. . 13 - 7 File Nos.: Z-2006-06, EA-2006-20 Page 3 February 6, 2007 ENCLOSURES Draft Zoning Ordinance 07-1994 Planning Commission Resolution No. 6441 Exhibit A-2: Planning Commission Staff Report dated January 9,2007 Prepared by: Colin Jung, Senior Planner Submitted by: Approved by: J~4~ e?€ e-L /0V Steve Piasecki .

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of: 1. The negative declaration, file number EA-2006-20; 2. The rezoning application, file number Z-2oo6-06, in accordance with the model resolution. Project Data: General Plan Designation: Existing Zoning Designation: Proposed Zoning Designation: Acreage (Gross): Building Square Footage: Commercial/Residential . P(Rec, Enter, Ltd Com) CG 2.2 acres 19,060 square feet Project Consistency with General Plan: Yes Environmental Assessment: Negative Declaration BACKGROUND: The applicant is requesting approval to rezone a portion of an existing commercial center located at the southeast quadrant of Homestead and Stelling Roads to allow for a greater variety of commercial uses than are currently allowed by the specialized commercial zoning (Exhibit A). The surrounding land uses are multiple-family residential to the south and east, commercial . and residential uses to the north in Sunnyvale, and commercial uses to the.west. DISCUSSION: In 1974, a 5-acre site was proposed for development by Brunswick Corporation, a manufacturer of bowling equipment and developer/ operator of bowling alleys across' the country. In submitting its bowling alley development applications, Brunswick emphasized the demand for recreational uses in the area. The City Council responded by approving the bowling alley and restricting the land uses of the other approved 13 ':'14 Plpplications:Z-2006-06 Page 2 January 9, 2007 buildings to recreation, entertainment and related commercial uses. The concept was to create a recreational/ entertainment center, not another shopping center. D Two Parcels Proposed for Rezoning to "CG" Within two years the bowling alley was built and the property was subdivided into four commercial lots, but the applicant was unable to secure other tenants for the other building spaces and he sought a change in the general plan land use designation from recreation/ entertainment and incidental commercial to a general commercial use. The general plan land use amendment was denied by the City Council, but the Council signaled its willingness to consider other types of commercial use at the center. In 1977, the City approved a rezoning of the property from P(Rec, Enter, Related Com) to P(Rec, Enter, Limited Com), which allowed a greater range of commercial uses, but required a use permit for every change in use. In 1979, the applicant came back to the City to modify the zoning again to add additional commercial uses in order to fully occupy the building spaces. This was the last time the zoning was modified by the City. The allowed land uses are listed in Exhibit B. 13 - 152 Applications: Z-2006-06 Page 3 January 9, 2007 The property owners have petitioned the City to remove this specialized commercial zoning from two of the four properties in the center and allow a full range of. commercial uses that are allowed by right in nearly every commercial center in the City. The concept of a specialized recreation and entertainment center never materialized at this location due to a lack of market demand. The limited range of land uses and the requirement of a use permit for every change of use place the property owners at a . competitive disadvantage compared to other commercial centers in the area. . It is not as important to modify the zoning for the other two commercial properties in this center that are similarly zoned: the Homestead Lanes (bowling alley) parcel and the McDonald's Restaurant parcel. These properties have specialized building improvements not usable to different tenants without significant redevelopment: Enclosures: Model Resolution for Z-2006-06 ERC Recommendation, Initial Study Exhibit A-1: Letter from Applicant Exhibit B-1: Permitted Uses in P(Rec, Enter, Ltd Com) Submitted by: Colin Jung, Senior Planner .

The proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impacr or "potentially significant unless mitigat~d" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has , been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. Although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE . DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required. o o o o n/li I'D G Date ' - t ~l\ ~/1 ob' Date 13 - 35 Environmental Evaluation File No. Z-2006-06 Transportationffraffic The rezoning would allow a large range ofpersonaI"service, financial and office Uses in this shopping center that are currently allowed by right in most other commercial areas in the City. Under the rezoning, up to 25% ofthe shopping center may be tenanted with office. Effect on parking capacity is indeterminable since medical offices have a higher parking requirement than retail (1 space per 175 g.s.f. vs. 1 space per 250 g.s.!), but most office uses have a lower parking requirement ( 1 space per 285 g.s.f.). A parking study is required for each new tenant that generates a higher than retail parking requirement. 13 - 36 Exhibit A- i f RRrRT'TF:r) :~ .:;- /.UUG ~ BY: Community Development Department City of Cupertino 10300 Torre Avenue. Cupertino, CA 95014 November 28,2006 Eric Huang P. O. Box 2383 Cupertino, CA 95015 RE: APPLICATION FOR ZONING CHANGE 20956 HOMESTEAD ROAD APN# 326~09-O61 Dear Sir/Madam: Enclosed with this letter is a completed Application Form which I am submitting for rezoning. The current zoning is P (REC, ENTER., LID COMM). We are submitting this application in support of our request to change the existing zoning to CG (General Commercial) zoving. l- We believe that the requested zpning change would be in the best interest of the City of Cupertino and the surrounding property owners because the CG zoning is more consistent with the area than the present zoning. In addition, it is our. opinion that the quality of tenants, the use of the premises will generate more revenues than the current zoning allows. Furthermore, typically, less city services are required for properties that are commercial versus those that allow recreational and entertainment use. Please contact the undersigned if you require any additional information. / Re~f:'6tful1y submitted, .~ Eric Huang, Owner ~ 13 - 37 ~:,f:". .... ~, ,.:,,' :J:Q.,', "That,. the ,allowaole:;..lanl:Luses.';shalhbe.. as' ,follows:. .'.

We would like to propose the following course of actions to improve our shopping center environment: List of improvement actions to be done on our property: 1. Remove any graffiti from the front and back of the property. 2. Increase maintenance of the grounds. 3. Fix and repave the rear parking lot, Reseal, recoat, and re-stripe the front parking lot. 4. Repave the rear pedestrian path transition. 5. Improve the landscaping for the rear parking area. 6. Repaint the buildings with brighter color to create a fresher and unified appearance. 7. Repair the concrete in the garbage bin area in the back parking lot. 8. Increase and/or update the parking lot lighting system List of actions for our neiQhborinQ properties and their response: 1. We contacted and met with the property owner of Homestead Lanes numerous times and proposed that he carry out similar improvement, such as: repaving their parking lot, repainting their building, and adding additional landscaping to improve the appeal of the overall parking lot area He initially expressed some interest and we worked together and got several quotations for all three properties, including repaving of the parking lot and repainting of the buildings. We even proposed hiring a paint consultant. After he received the bids, he told us that he would need to get his Partners' approval. We have not received confirmation from him that Homestead Lanes wishes to participate in these endeavors. Page 1 of2 (Continue from Page 1 of 2) 2. We would like to emphasize that most of the front parking area is under the jurisdiction of Homestead Lanes, therefore their cooperation is imperative because they own close to 80% of the overall parking area, as well as 50% of the building facade. 3. The owner of McDonald's told us that they might be interested in repaving their parking lot. However, they need to wait until next year or the year after next year, but are definitely not interested this year. List of actions for future tenants procurement: 1. We will definitely diversify tenants in addition to having restaurants and beauty shops. 2. We will actively seek retail type tenants. 3. We will put particular emphasis on specialty jewelry stores, cell phone/communication stores; electronics stores such as Radio Shack, and printing/copying store. We thought of other categories such as auto parts store (such as NAPA CarQuest) but they usually require much large footage than what we can offer.
