Given that the project is consistent with the Gene�,al Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Heart of the City Specific
Plan, South Vallco Master Plan, and the Main Street Cupertino project development approvals; is over 300
feet away from any existing or planned residential uses and other sensitive receptors; the project will not be
detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity, and will not be detrimental to the
public health, safety, general welfare, or convenience. In addition, there will be disclosures in the Main Street
Cupertino project's covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) that Main Street will be a vibrant and
active commercial area, and certain uses will generate noise audible from neighboring properties.
b) The proposed use will be located and conducted in a manner in accord with the
Cupertino General Plan and the purpose of the City's zoning ordinances.
The proposed development is in conformance with the General Plan Land Use Map of the City of Cupertino,
since it is consistent with the existing land use designation (Commercial/Office/Residential). In addition, the
design is consistent with General Plan and Heart of the City Specific Plan policies that encourage
development to activate streetscapes and create community gathering places. General Plan Policy 2-92
supports late night hours in the Main Street Cupertino project, since the buildings contained within the
development are located considerable distances from residential areas.
