SECTION I: PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Application No.: DP-2016-02
Applicant: Kathy Robinson (Charities Housing)
Location: 19160 Stevens Creek Boulevard (APN 375-07-001)
SECTION II: FINDINGS FOR DEVELOPMENT PERMIT:
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Cupertino received an application for a Development Permit as described in Section I. of this Resolution; and
WHEREAS, the necessary public notices have been given as required by the Procedural Ordinance of the City of Cupertino, and the Planning Commission has held at least one public hearing
in regard to the application; and
WHEREAS, the application is for a 100% age restricted senior affordable development that meets the requirements to be eligeable for a 35% density bonus; and
WHEREAS, the project is determined to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and
WHEREAS, the applicant has met the burden of proof required to support said application; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds as follows with regard to this application:
The proposed development, at the proposed location, 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;
The project site is designated by the Housing Element as an approved development site for high density housing. The location is surrounded by similar urban uses and the project is consistent
with zoning, Heart of the City Specific Plan (HOC), and the General Plan for density, landscaping, private outdoor space, access, streetscape, setbacks, height, building bulk, and design.
Therefore, the project will not be detrimental or injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity, and will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, general welfare,
or convenience.
The proposed development will be located and conducted in a manner in accord with the Cupertino Comprehensive General Plan and the purpose of this title and complies with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The proposed development is in conformance with the Cupertino General Plan as part of the East Stevens Creek Boulevard area within the Heart of the City Special Area. The Heart of the
City area is envisioned to be a mixed use district that permits residential on Housing Element Sites, such as the project site. The Project provides housing units consistent with the
Housing Element within the General Plan. The Project has met the development standards as defined by the Heart of the City Specific Plan and the City Municipal Code such as heights,
setbacks, and parking requirements. The site is within a Planned Development Zoning District that allows General Commercial and Residential (“P (CG, Res)”). Therefore, the proposed
development is consistent with the purpose of the City’s zoning ordinance.
The project is exempt from CEQA under 21159.21 (Exemption for Qualified Housing), 21159.23 (Exemption for Affordable Low Income Housing), 15192 (Threshold Requirements for Exemptions
for Agricultural Housing, Affordable Housing, and Residential Infill Projects), and 15194 (Affordable Housing Exemption) of the Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.
The residential project is eligible for the density bonus and any incentives, parking reductions or waivers requested.
One hundred percent (100%) of the units will be affordable to a mix of Very Low and Low Income households at affordable rent or affordable housing cost, which entitles the project to
a Density Bonus rate of 35 percent consistent Cupertino Municipal Code Section 19.56.030 (A). No incentives or waivers have been requested. Additionally, no parking reductions beyond
those allowed by the City’s Density Bonus Ordinance, in compliance with State Law, have been requested.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
That after careful consideration of the maps, facts, exhibits, testimony and other evidence submitted in this matter, subject to the conditions which are enumerated in this Resolution
beginning on PAGE 3 thereof,:
The project is found to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act and the application for a Development Permit, Application no. DP-2016-02 is hereby approved and that the
