SECTION II: FINDINGS
WHEREAS, the Administrative Hearing Officer of the City of Cupertino received an application to allow outdoor seating within a previously approved patio area that is more than 20% of
the indoor seating for the restaurant; and

interior arrangements; and

WHEREAS, the necessary public hearing notices have been given as required by the Procedural Ordinance of the City of Cupertino, and the Administrative Hearing Officer has held at least

The proposed development and/or use, 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;

pedestrian-scaled active uses in public spaces and promotes design features and land uses that enhance pedestrian street activity along major building frontages.
The proposed development and/or use will be located and conducted in a manner in accord with the Cupertino Comprehensive General Plan, underlying zoning regulations, and the purpose
of this title and complies with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The proposed project is consistent with and will be conducted in a manner in accordance with the General Plan, Zoning Ordinance and is consistent with previous approvals. Furthermore,
