SECTION II: FINDINGS
WHEREAS, the Design Review Committee of the City of Cupertino received an
application for a Fence Exception, as described in this Resolution; and
WHEREAS, the Design Review Committee finds that the changes are beneficial and
compatible with the surrounding area and the following exception findings can be met;
1. That the literal enforcement of the provisions of this title will result in restrictions
inconsistent with the spirit and intent of this title in that the proposed project is
consistent with the spirit and intent of the zoning ordinance since the second
story setback is already established and the proposed addition will not worsen
the non -conformity.
2. That the granting of the exception will not result in a condition which is
materially detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare in that the
proposed project is an allowed use and is compatible with the surrounding
neighborhoods in terms of setbacks, height, mass, style and design.
3. That the exception to be granted is one that will require the least modification of
the prescribed regulations and the minimum variance that will accomplish the
purpose in that the proposed addition is replacing an existing legal non-
conforming second story deck. No additional second story bump outs are
proposed.
4. The proposed exception will not result in a hazardous condition for pedestrian
and vehicular traffic in that the project is away from any public streets and will
not affect traffic.
