Subject: Director’s Temporary Use Permit to allow the installation and operation of a
temporary modular building and necessary site-work at 19333 Vallco Parkway.
Chapter 19.12.030 of the Cupertino Municipal Code allows for
administrative approval of a temporary use permit, authorizing the use of
a site in any zoning district for a temporary use. The Director reports
his/her decision to the City Council & Planning Commission in time to
allow an appeal of the decision within fourteen calendar days.
BACKGROUND
The applicant, Bryan Carrera, on behalf of Apple Inc, is requesting approval to allow the
installation of temporary trailers for a period of six (6) months at the subject property.
DISCUSSION
Apple Inc. occupies the existing office complex on the subject property bounded by
Interstate 280 to the north, Vallco Mall to west, mixed-use developments to the south
across Vallco Parkway (Main Street and Nineteen800), and additional Apple offices to
the east (across North Tantau Avenue).
The applicant proposes modular buildings measuring a total of 120’ by 47’ to allow
Apple’s security team temporary office/meeting space in order to provide services to the
Apple Campus 2 located on the north side of I -280 until such time as the permanent
security office space at that site is completed. Utilities for the proposed modular
buildings will be connected through existing utilities on site. The modular building will
not be visible from the public right of way since it will be located behind one of the office
buildings on the site.

The placement of the modular buildings will result in the temporary loss of
approximately 45 parking stalls. However, the proposed site would continue to have a
parking surplus of 230 parking spaces after installation of the temporary buildings as
shown in the table below.

The placement of the modular buildings will result in the removal of two (2) London
Plane 5” DBH Protected (development) trees. The trees are being removed under a
separate Tree Removal Permit (TR-2017-16), and will be replaced by two (2) 36-inch box
London Plane trees; which is larger the 24-inch box required. The trees are to be replanted
within 30 days of the removal of the modular buildings.
