RESOLUTION NO. 82
OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING MEETING OF THE CITY OF CUPERTINO
TO CONSIDER THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW 4,172 SQUARE FEET BANK OF AMERICA BRANCH BUILDING TO REPLACE AN EXISTING SINGLE-STORY
5,265 SQUARE FEET MULTI-TENANT COMMERCIAL BUILDING, INCLUDING ASSOCIATED SITE AND STREET FRONTAGE IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDING A PAVED PLAZA AREA AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE SITE AT 21020
HOMESTEAD ROAD.
SECTION I: PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Application No.: ASA-2017-05
Applicant: Whitney Marr (C&L Investments, LLC)
Location: 21020 Homestead Road APN #326-07-020
SECTION II: FINDINGS
WHEREAS, the Administrative Hearing Meeting of the City of Cupertino received an application for a new 4,172 square feet Bank of America branch building to replace an existing single-story
5,265 square feet multi-tenant commercial building, including associated site and street improvements, including a paved plaza area at the northeast corner of the site; and
WHEREAS, the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA);
WHEREAS, the necessary public notices have been given as required by the Procedural Ordinance of the City of Cupertino, and the Administrative Hearing Officer has held at least one public
meeting in regard to the application;
WHEREAS, the applicant has met the burden of proof required to support said application; and
WHEREAS, the Administrative Hearing Officer finds:
The proposal, 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 proposal maintains the general building location and parking lot configuration as it currently exists, with the building located at the northeast portion of the property, and the
parking located at the rear of the building. The project proposal 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 would be required to detach the existing monolithic sidewalk along the property’s street frontage. This would improve
the pedestrian experience and safety. The proposal also includes mitigations to reduce the width of existing two-way driveway curb cuts which would further enhance the site and ameliorate
impacts to pedestrians and bicyclists.
The proposal is consistent with the purposes of Chapter 19.168, Architectural and Site Review, of the Cupertino Municipal Code, the General Plan, any specific plan, zoning ordinances,
applicable planned development permit, conditional use permits, variances, subdivision maps or other entitlements to use which regulate the subject property including, but not limited
to, adherence to the following specific criteria:
Abrupt changes in building scale should be avoided. A gradual transition related to height and bulk should be achieved between new and existing buildings;
Most of the properties surrounding the subject site are developed with single story buildings and the proposed building maintains the single-story scale and increases to the height of
the building are primarily to incorporate parapets in order to screen anticipated rooftop equipment. Additionally, the mass of the building is accentuated with a combination of wall
articulation, decorative cornices, metal awnings, and significant window fenestration. Furthermore, the proposed changes to the height of the structure are within the regulations established
in the General Plan: Community Vision 2015-2040.
In order to preserve design harmony between new and existing buildings and in order to preserve and enhance property values, the materials, textures and colors of new buildings should
harmonize with adjacent development by being consistent or compatible with design and color schemes, and, with the future character of the neighborhood and purposes of the zone in which
they are situated. The location, height and materials of walls, fencing, hedges and screen planting should harmonize with adjacent development. Unsightly storage areas, utility installations
and unsightly elements of parking lots should be concealed. The planting of ground cover or various types of pavements should be used to prevent dust and erosion, and the
unnecessary destruction of existing healthy trees should be avoided. Lighting for development should be adequate to meet safety requirements as specified by the engineering and building
departments, and provide shielding to prevent spill-over light to adjoining property owners;
The newly proposed architectural design, materials, finishes, and textures will be consistently applied to the entire building façade to allow for four-sided complete architectural integrity
and will be compatible with the character of the neighborhood as a mix of commercial and residential-scaled design. The proposal includes no changes to the location, height, and materials
of walls and fencing. Any unpermitted fencing will be removed as part of this development. Landscaping is being proposed to soften the edges of the development, to enhance on-site amenities,
provide relief on building walls, and are intended to harmonize with adjacent property through the installation of adequate amounts of groundcover and shade trees throughout. Furthermore,
the proposal includes the construction of a trash enclosure at the rear of the parking lot which will conform to the City’s requirements to screen and shelter waste collection bins.
The number, location, color, size, height, lighting and landscaping of outdoor advertising signs and structures shall minimize traffic hazards and shall positively affect the general
appearance of the neighborhood and harmonize with adjacent development; and
No signage is approved as part of this proposal.
With respect to new projects within existing residential neighborhoods, new development should be designed to protect residents from noise, traffic, light and visually intrusive effects
by use of buffering, setbacks, landscaping, walls and other appropriate design measures
The proposal is a new development that maintains the general scale, building location, and parking lot configuration as it currently exists. This development is not within an existing
residential neighborhood. Therefore, this finding does not apply. However, the proposed landscaping and tree plantings around the parking lot, street frontages, and in the public plaza
will provide visual buffering of the buildings and will enhance the tree canopy coverage on-site, and protect the closest residents, that are located 300 feet northeast of the subject
site, from visually intrusive effects.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
That after careful consideration of maps, facts, exhibits, testimony and other evidence submitted in this matter, the Application No. ASA-2017-05, is hereby approved; and
That the subconclusions upon which the findings and conditions specified in this Resolution are based and contained in the public meeting record concerning Application No. ASA-2017-05
as set forth in the Minutes of the Administrative Hearing Meeting of October 26, 2017, and are incorporated by reference herein.
