Jon Wiley,
I am a Cupertino community member writing to you out of excitement for the potential of
having affordable housing at 10591 N. De Anza Boulevard! Why? Because I want to see
people have the ability to live here, regardless of their socioeconomic class.
I want to thank the staff and council for conducting a study session on a potential partnership
between Cupertino and Santa Clara County, so Measure A funds can be used to acquire land
right here in Cupertino for over 60 units of affordable housing—due to the Heart of the City
Plan.
This land was once home to Outback Steakhouse, and while culinary options will always be
missed, we have an incredible opportunity right here.
The future of our city and region depends on rare opportunities such as this one. We must
continue to proactively search for meaningful partnerships, so Cupertino and Santa Clara
County can become more inclusive and affordable. This is the only way we will be able to
even approach our 4,000+ RHNA targets for the upcoming cycle.
Again, thank you, and I am hopeful that the County and City move forward in this
collaborative process. I will also be making my voice loud and clear to the County before the
April 6 County Board of Supervisors vote.

Hung Wei,
I am a long-time resident of Cupertino and urge council enthusiastic support of the purchase
of this property. It is in an ideal location for community services and housing, along transit
lines and within walking distance of grocery stores. Regardless of what project would be
considered for this site, it's important for a government entity to acquire the site, rather than
Apple which would just build more offices in that area.

It’s come to my attention that the weekly farmer’s market held at the Oaks Shopping Center has been asked to shut
down after May. I understand the reason, but would like for it to remain in Cupertino. The accessibility of more
affordable prices for organic local farm goods is very important to me and my family. It would be great if the option for it
to continue could be at Memorial Park.

Dear City Council Members
It has been brought to my attention that the Farmers Market is closing in May.
Having a Sunday Farmers Market near Memorial Park location is critical to the residents in Cupertino and is well
attended. It seems with each new development plan the city approves the residents are losing a quality of life they have
enjoyed like buying fresh produce from the Farmers Market. Please consider the residents request to keep a weekly
open air Farmers Market in this location and please think of the many local farmers who depend financially on having
this income. During Covid it was the only outdoor place I felt safe buying produce.
Please consider quality of life for residents ‐refuse to allow the cutting down of mature trees when approving new
developments and please consider that there are few activities left in Cupertino for residents ‐ no new parks/open
spaces, no retail stores, no movie theaters, no bookstores, no Flint Center,
Nancy Canter

Hello Cupertino City Council,
I am a resident of Cupertino and writing to request an extension to extend the farmer's market offering.
My family and along with many in our Garden Gate neighbourhood families regularly go to buy organic produce and
really like the current location since it is close to 85 and also Memorial park where we can spend time outdoors before
or after our shopping.
Kindly consider this request to extend the farmer's market close to the current location.
Thanks for your understanding.

Hello Mayor Paul, Vice Mayor Chao, Council Members Moore, Wei and Willey, and City Manager Deb Feng;
I saw a post on NextDoor that says the Sunday Farmers Market at the Memorial Park parking lot is set to close in May.
Is this true?
If so, is there any way to keep it there, or move it somewhere nearby?
A lot of hearts will be broken if we lose this treasure serving the west side of Cupertino.

Hi Cupertino City Council
My name is Anandi Sujeer and I work for the Santa Clara Public Health currently in COVD-19 response. I have lived in Cupertino for
the last 18 years and have been proud of how the city has a focus on public health and emergency preparedness. I heard that the
Farmers Market which allows the city residents option to healthy organic fruit and vegetables may close in May.
Since health is a big focus in the City General Plan, please ensure that the Farmers Market is kept open in Cupertino. It benefits both
farmers and residents and is a win-win for following healthy lifestyles.
Thanks for accomodating my request
Anandi Sujeer
