As a Cupertino senior, and member of St. Jude’s, I strongly support the addition of senior apartments
and a memory care facility here. Cupertino’s shortage of senior housing is horrendous. This project
would fill some of the huge need.
Thank you for supporting this project.

Dear Mayor, Vice‐Mayor and Councilmembers:
Subject: Westport Cupertino moves Cupertino forward with Senior Strategy which is one of Cupertino's
top 10 Priority Items on the FY 2021‐22 City Work Program
I am thoroughly supportive of this revised modification to Westport Cupertino. Westport Cupertino
moves Cupertino forward with Senior Strategy which is one of Cupertino's top 10 Priority Items on the
FY 2021‐22 City Work Program. Westport provides a much‐needed number of homes of differing
income levels, ages and health needs. It adds much‐needed Assisted Living senior apartments and a
Memory Care facility to Cupertino’s housing. There is already a lack of memory care units in Cupertino,
and the need is growing. Another important feature is that this Assisted Living facility is comprised of
rental units so you can choose how long you want to stay. Also, 48 Senior Below‐Market‐Rate homes are
part of the overall project and are a significant addition to the mix of homes available to seniors in
Cupertino.
Importantly, these homes, shops and open space are designed in a way that makes this a destination for
other Cupertino residents and the surrounding community.
Senior housing has been successfully advocated by residents to the Housing Commission and to the City
Council. This past year the City Council chose Senior Strategy as one of its top 10 Priority Items on the
FY 2021‐22 City Work Program.

Housing is a major issue of that Senior Strategy. The first step of that work program item was to issue
the on‐line Senior Resource Availability Survey (Senior Survey) that went live in October, and closed
recently. Significant resources were invested in this survey.
I am impressed by the housing builder’s responses to Council questions from December 7:
‐‐Retail is increased
‐‐Surface parking is increased
‐‐ Height is reduced for Building 1
Westport Cupertino creates a great sense of place. It creates an intergenerational neighborhood. The
Westport location has many benefits for seniors: access to transportation, businesses, the Senior
Center, and De Anza College. This housing will keep seniors in a diverse community of ages which is
important for retaining social interactions and mental health.
I am very pleased to see that the Westport design is a big improvement for Safety for Seniors crossing
from the Senior Center to dining and stores. It is shorter and more visible to drivers. This crosswalk is
much closer than the crosswalk on the curve farther north along Mary Avenue.
There is Synergy with De Anza College. De Anza provides lifelong learning for all residents, while
Westport offers coffee shops and places to relax for students. There is a De Anza College nursing
program that one of my friend’s daughters attended. She has been a nurse for 15 years.
I like this design for an Interconnected community,—a variety of ages using the Center Green, the cafes,
the stores, the adjacent Senior Center, and De Anza Community College. It can be accessed on foot, on
bicycle, by car or by bus. It is a thoughtful design that creates an interconnected neighborhood in the
Heart of the City. People from around Cupertino will be attracted to this destination.
In closing, I urge you to approve this thoughtful design tonight and begin the New
Year 2022 by filling a critical housing need for Cupertino and a big step forward on
the FY2021‐22 City Work Program for Senior Strategy.
Sincerely, Connie Cunningham

Dear City Council, Staff, City Attorney Jensen,
