RESOLUTION NO. 6861
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
CUPERTINO RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A GENERAL PLAN
AMENDMENT TO DEVELOPMENT ALLOCATIONS, THE GENERAL PLAN
LAND USE MAP AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS RELATED TO THE
VALLCO SPECIAL AREA
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council, in substantially similar
form to the Draft Resolution attached hereto as Exhibit GPA adopt the proposed General
Plan Amendments with the following modifications:
1. Revise Strategy LU -19.1.2 on page LU -50 to read as follows: "Parcel
assembly and a master site development plan for complete redevelopment of the site is
required prior to issuance of other implementing permits. Accommodate parcelization
to allow a mix of ownership, rental, and affordable housing needs.",
2. Update Table LU -1 on page LU -13 to correct typographical errors as
follows:
a. Citywide Development Allocation total with Vallco Town Center Tier 2 for
office buildout'is 10,970,005 s.f., office available is 2;053,826 s.f, Residential
buildout is 25,828 units, and residential available is 4,416 units.
b. Hotel allocation for N. De Anza Special Area is 123 rooms in the current,
built and the buildout columns,
c. Hotel allocation in the. N. Vallco Special Area is 315 rooms in the current
built and the buildout columns,
d. Hotel allocation in the S. De Anza Special Area is 0 rooms in the current
built and the buildout columns;
3. Consider adding a middle tier Development Program for Vallco Town
Center in Section 3.4 beginning on page 3-14 that would include the same residential
allocation as Tier 2 (2,923 available) but reduce the office allocation below 1,500,000
square feet, with a commensurate reduction in community benefits provided to qualify
for a community benefits density bonus.
4. The Planning Commission's recommended priority for community
benefits, from most important to least important, is: (a) increased benefits to CUSD; (b)
benefits to FUHSD; (c) 20% of residential units as Below Market Rate housing, with 40
units designated for Extremely Low Income Households; (d) transportation and traffic -
related contributions; (e) City Hall; and (f) Performing Arts Center.

CHAPTER 2: PLANNING AREAS I 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 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.

VALLCO TOWN CENTER SHOPPING DISTRICT
CONTEXT
The Vallco Town Center 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 #die Vallco Town Center . Wolfe Road bisects the area in a
north -south direction,
In recent years there has been some fapade 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 theee
R8ti8l9al FetaileFS. 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. VALLCO TOWN CENTER SHOPPING DISTRICT
VISION
�#e Vallco Town Center SheppiRg PiStFi6t 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 #die Vallco Town Center Sheppi
D'StFiet should be required to provide
buffers between adjacent single-family
neighborhoods in the form of boundary walls,
setbacks, landscaping or building transitions.

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,
includes grocery facilities and a variety of neighborhood serving uses. Proximity
to the Vallco SheppiAg MaR 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.

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:
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.
