RE: Vallco — Comments for NOP
The Cupertino Union School District would like to provide the following comments related to the
Vallco Development.
Although the school district is not opposed to the possible development of the site, the district has
some concerns and questions regarding pedestrian safety. As there is bound to be increased vehicle
traffic in the immediate location and also in the nearby areas, student safety is our number one
priority. As the need for students to cross over major thoroughfares like Wolfe Road or Stevens
Creek Blvd, the need for crossing guards becomes evident. The school district believes this to be a
vital public safety component. Will the City fund and provide for as many crossing guards needed
due to this development?
CUSD also has some concerns regarding the numbers of students that potentially could be
generated from both the residential and the office spaces. The district feels that this growth in
students enrollment may necessitate expansion or construction on its current facilities. The district
desires to enter into mitigation agreements with the developer to further mitigate these impacts.
Open public spaces is the district's last concern. As the City of Cupertino is currently utilizing turf
and play areas on most of CUSD's campuses, the Vallco Development will further impact the demand
on these locations. Maintaining these fields is currently the responsibility of the City of Cupertino.
CUSD desires the Vallco Development to provide a sufficient amount of playfield spaces to offset any
additional demands placed upon the district and the City.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Chris Jew
