CHAPTER 2: PLANNING AREAS | general plan (community vision 2015 - 2040)
The City Center subarea is located south of the Central Stevens Creek Boulevard
subarea, between De Anza and Torre Avenue/Regnart Creek. The primary use
for this area is office/residential/hotel/public facilities/commercial retail/mixed-
uses. This subarea is further defined into the City Center Node and Civic Center
Node. The City Center Node includes Cali Plaza. The Civic Center Node includes
City Hall, Cupertino Community Hall, Cupertino Public Library, as well as the
Library Plaza and Library Field.
The East Stevens Creek Boulevard subarea is located at the east end of the
Heart of the City Specific Plan area and extends from Portal Avenue to the
eastern city limit. The area is largely defined by the South Vallco Park Gateway
immediately east of the Vallco Town Center Shopping District Special Area,
which includes Nineteen 800 (formerly known as Rosebowl), The Metropolitan
and Main Street developments. This area is intended as a regional commercial
district with retail/commercial/ office as the primary uses. Office above ground
level retail is allowed as a secondary use, with residential/residential mixed-use
as a supporting use per the Housing Element.
VISION
The Heart of the City area will continue being a focus of commerce, community
identity, social gathering and pride for Cupertino. The area is envisioned as a
tree-lined boulevard that forms a major route for automobiles, but also supports
walking, biking and transit. Each of its five subareas will contribute their
distinctive and unique character, and will provide pedestrian and bicycle links to
adjacent neighborhoods through side street access, bikeways and pathways.
While portions of the area is designated as a Priority Development Area (PDA),
which allows some higher intensity near gateways and nodes, development will
continue to support the small town ambiance of the community. The Stevens
Creek Boulevard corridor will continue to function as Cupertino’s main mixed-
use, commercial and retail corridor. Residential uses, as allowed per the
Housing Element, should be developed in the “mixed-use village” format
described later in the Land Use and Community Design Element.
PA-8
VISION
The Vallco Town Center Shopping District will
continue to function as a major regional and
community destination. The City envisions this
area as a new mixed-use “town center” and
gateway for Cupertino. It will include an
interconnected street grid network of bicycle
and pedestrian-friendly streets, more
pedestrian-oriented buildings with active
uses lining Stevens Creek Boulevard and
Wolfe Road, and publicly-accessible parks
and plazas that support the pedestrian-
oriented feel of the revitalized area. New
development in the Vallco Town Center Shopping
District should be required to provide
buffers between adjacent single-family
neighborhoods in the form of boundary walls,
setbacks, landscaping or building transitions.
CHAPTER 2: PLANNING AREAS | general plan (community vision 2015 - 2040)
VALLCO TOWN CENTER SHOPPING DISTRICT
CONTEXT
The Vallco Town Center Shopping District Special Area encompasses
Cupertino’s most significant commercial center, formerly known as the Vallco
Fashion Park. This Special Area is located between Interstate 280 and Stevens
Creek Boulevard in the eastern part of the city. The North Blaney
neighborhood, an established single-family area, is adjacent on the west side
of the Vallco Town Center Shopping District. Wolfe Road bisects the area in a
north-south direction, and divides Vallco Shopping District into distinct
subareas: Vallco Shopping District Gateway West and Vallco Shopping District
Gateway East. In recent years there has been some façade improvement to
the Vallco Fashion Mall; however, there has been no major reinvestment in
the mall for decades. Reinvestment is needed to upgrade or replace older
buildings and make other improvements to that this commercial center is
more competitive and better serves the community. Currently, the major
tenants of the mall include a movie theater, and a bowling alley and three
national retailers. The Vallco Town Center Shopping District is identified as a
separate Special Area given its prominence as a regional commercial
destination and its importance to future planning/redevelopment efforts
expected over Vallco.

NORTH BLANEY
CONTEXT
The North Blaney neighborhood is located in the eastern portion of Cupertino,
north of Stevens Creek Boulevard and east of De Anza Boulevard. This area,
predominantly defined by single-family residential homes, is on the valley
floor with minimal grade changes. Bounded generally by De Anza Boulevard,
Highway 280, Stevens Creek Boulevard, and Perimeter Road, this area is served
by amenities including Portal Park, which includes a number of recreational
amenities such as a tot lot and a recreation building. The Junipero Serra
drainage channel runs along the northern edge of the neighborhood along
Interstate 280. North Blaney is a major north-south corridor through the area.
The Portal Plaza Shopping Center, located in the Heart of the City Special Area,
variety of neighborhood serving uses. Proximityincludes grocery facilities and a
to the Vallco Shopping Mall Special Area in the Heart of the City Special Area
provides opportunities for shopping for this neighborhood within close walking
distance. Housing types located in this neighborhood include duplexes, townhomes
and apartments closer to the freeway. The North Blaney Neighborhood includes
Collins Elementary School and Lawson Middle School.
VISION
The North Blaney neighborhood will continue to be mainly
a residential area. It is anticipated that there may be
limited residential growth in this area on sites that may
be subdivided or redeveloped. No other land use changes
are anticipated in this area. Bicycle and pedestrian
enhancements to North Blaney Avenue will improve the
north-south connection through the city. There is also a
potential to improve the east-west pedestrian and bicycle
connection along the Junipero Serra channel along
Interstate 280.

CHAPTER 3: LAND USE AND COMMUNITY DESIGN ELEMENT | general plan (community vision 2015 - 2040)
LU-1.2.3: Unused Development
Allocation.
Unused development allocations
may be re-assigned to the citywide
allocation table per Planning Area,
when development agreements and
development permits expire.
LU-1.2.4: Neighborhood Allocation.
Allocate residential units in
neighborhoods through the building
permit process unless subdivision
or development applications are
required.
POLICY LU-1.3: LAND USE IN ALL
CITYWIDE MIXED-USE DISTRICTS
Encourage land uses that support the
activity and character of mixed-use
districts and economic goals.
STRATEGIES:
LU-1.3.1: Commercial and Residential
Uses.
Review the placement of commercial
and residential uses based on the
following criteria:
1.All mixed-use areas with
commercial zoning will require
retail as a substantial component.
The North De Anza Special Area is
an exception.
2.All mixed-use residential projects
should be designed on the “mixed-
use village” concept discussed
earlier in this Element.
3.On sites with a mixed-use residential
designation, residential is a permitted
use only on Housing Element sites and
in the Monta Vista Village Special Area.
4.Conditional use permits will be
required on mixed-use Housing
Element sites that propose units above
the allocation in the Housing Element,
and on non-Housing Element mixed-
use sites, unless otherwise allowed in
a Specific Plan.
LU-1.3.2: Public and Quasi-Public Uses.
Review the placement of public and
quasi-public activities in limited areas
in mixed-use commercial and office
zones when the following criteria
are met:
1.The proposed use is generally
in keeping with the goals for
the Planning Area, has similar
patterns of traffic, population
or circulation of uses with the
area and does not disrupt the
operations of existing uses.
2.The building form is similar to
buildings in the area (commercial
or office forms). In commercial
areas, the building should maintain
a commercial interface by
providing retail activity, storefront
appearance or other design
considerations in keeping with the
goals of the Planning Area.
LU-12
CHAPTER 3: LAND USE AND COMMUNITY DESIGN ELEMENT | general plan (community vision 2015 - 2040)
POLICY LU-1.4: PARCEL ASSEMBLY
Encourage parcel assembly and
discourage parcelization to ensure
that infill development meets City
standards and provides adequate
buffers to neighborhoods.
POLICY LU-1.5: COMMUNITY HEALTH
THROUGH LAND USE
Promote community health through
land use and design.
POLICY LU-1.6: JOBS/HOUSING
BALANCE
Strive for a more balanced ratio of
jobs and housing units.

CHAPTER 3: LAND USE AND COMMUNITY DESIGN ELEMENT | general plan (community vision 2015 - 2040)
POLICY LU-19.1: SPECIFIC PLAN
Implement the Vallco Town Center
Specific Plan and apply the adopted
vision, policies or development
standards in the review of any
development on the site including the
street layout, land uses, design
standards and guidelines, and
infrastructure improvements required.
The Vallco Town Center Specific Plan
will be is based on the following
strategies:
STRATEGIES:
LU-19.1.1: Master Developer.
Redevelopment will require a master
developer in order to remove the
obstacles to the development of a
cohesive district with the highest
levels of urban design.
LU-19.1.2: Parcel Assembly.
Parcel assembly and a master site development
plan for complete redevelopment of the site is
required prior to issuance of other implementing
permits adding residential and office uses.
Parcelization is highly discouraged in order to
preserve the site for redevelopment in the future.
Accommodate parcelization needs of certain
development types, such as senior housing or
affordable housing, or if demonstrated to be
necessary for financing reasons.
LU-19.1.3: Complete Redevelopment. The “town
center” Any site development plans should be
based on complete redevelopment of the site in
order to ensure that the site can be planned to
carry out the community vision in the specific plan.
LU-19.1.4: Land Use.
The following uses are allowed on the site (see
Figure LU-2 for residential densities and criteria):
Uses allowed on the site shall be as shown in the
Vallco Town Center Specific Plan and generally
include residential, office, commercial
(including retail, restaurant, entertainment, and
cultural uses), and hotel uses.
GOAL LU-19
Create a distinct and memorable mixed-use
"town center" that is a regional destination
and a focal point for the community
VALLCO TOWN CENTER SHOPPING DISTRICT SPECIAL AREA
The City envisions a complete redevelopment of the existing Vallco Fashion Mall
into a vibrant mixed-use “town center” that is a focal point for regional visitors and
the community. This new Vallco Town Center Shopping District will become a
destination for shopping, dining and entertainment in the Santa Clara Valley.
LU-50
CHAPTER 3: LAND USE AND COMMUNITY DESIGN ELEMENT | general plan (community vision 2015 - 2040)
1.Retail Commercial: Include Hhigh-
performing retail, restaurant and
entertainment uses. Maintain a minimum
of 600,000 square feet of retail that
provide a good source of sales tax for the
City. Entertainment uses may be included
but shall consist of no more than 30
percent of retail uses.
2.Hotel: Encourage a business class hotel
with conference center and active uses
such as including main entrances, lobbies,
retail and restaurants, at key locations, on
the ground floor .
3.Residential: Allow residential on upper
floors with retail and active uses on the
ground floor per the Vallco Town Center
Specific Plan. Encourage a mix of units for
young professionals, couples and/or active
seniors who like to live in an active “town
center” environment.
4.Office: Encourage high-quality office
space arranged in a pedestrian-oriented
street grid with active uses, such as
lobbies, cafes, break rooms, active office
amenities, on the ground floor in key
locations publicly-accessible street and
that front plazas/green space.
LU-9.1.5: “Town Center Layout" Create
streets and blocks laid out using
“transect planning” (appropriate
street and building types for each
area), which includes a discernible
center and edges, public space at
center, high quality public realm, and
land uses appropriate to the street
and building typology.
LU-19.1.6: Connectivity.
Provide a newly configured
complete street grid hierarchy of
streets, boulevards and alleys that
is pedestrian-oriented, connects to
existing streets, and creates walkable
urban blocks for buildings and open
space. It should also incorporate
transit facilities, provide connections
to other transit nodes and coordinate
with the potential expansion of Wolfe
Road bridge over Interstate 280
to continue the walkable, bikeable
boulevard concept along Wolfe Road.
The project should also contribute
towards a study and improvements to
a potential Interstate 280 trail along
the drainage channel south of the
freeway and provide pedestrian and
bicycle connections from the project
sites to the trail.
LU-19.1.7: Existing Streets.
Improve Stevens Creek Boulevard
and Wolfe Road to become more bike
and pedestrian-friendly with bike
lanes, wide sidewalks, street trees,
improved pedestrian intersections
to accommodate the connections to
Rosebowl Nineteen800, and Main
Street and in the vicinity.
LU-51
Table LU-1 identifies the development
potential on the site in two levels: Tier 1 and
Tier 2. Tier 1 identifies the maximum
development potential for the site under the
base density as defined in Figure LU-2 and the
Vallco Town Center Specific Plan. Tier 2
identifies the maximum development potential
for the site for projects that have applied for
and received a community benefits density
bonus, as an alternative to the state Density
Bonus law, which is further defined in the
Vallco Town Center Specific Plan and which
requires certain community benefits to be
incorporated into the project.
