Page 2
WHEREAS, the applicant has met the burden of proof required to support said
application; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds as follows with regard to this application:
a) The proposed development, at the proposed location, will not be detrimental or
injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity, and will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, general welfare, or convenience;
The proposal is an update to an existing storage facility that will demolish s of the seven
(7) structures on site to all for a building area totaling 166,845 sq. ft. The project provides
new landacping and improvements along the frontage to screen the project from public
view, and to allow for future improvements to accommodate a planned trail in the project
vicinity. The building has been designed to blend into the surrounding area by creating
an updated building design that incorporates different building materials (i .e. spandrel,
glass, metal panels, etc.) and updated landscaping throughout the site. Therefore, the
proposal will not be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in th e vicinity.
b) The proposed development will be located and conducted in a manner in accord
with the Cupertino Comprehensive General Plan and the purpose of the City's
zoning ordinances.
The General Plan land use designation for the property is Industrial/Residential. The
existin g and proposed use (a storage facility) is consistent with the Gen eral Plan. The
subject property is zoned as Planned Development with Quasi-Public and Mini Storage
intent (BQ, Mini-Star). The underlying Mini-storage uses allow for the typ e of use. The
proposed development has met the applicable development standards of the general plan
and zoning district such as height, setbacks, and parking regulations. The principal
building is at 30' or below, and any increase in height is to screen proposed mechanical
equipment. Th erefore, the proposed development is consistent with the purpose of the
City's zoning ordinance; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
The application for a Development Permit, Application No. DP-2019-05, is hereby
approved, and that the subconclusions upon which the findings and conditions specified
in this Resolution are based are contained in the Public Hearing record concerning
Application no. DP-2019-05 as set forth in the Minutes of the City Council Meeting of
January 18, 2022, and are incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein.
1. The City Council exercises its independent judgment and determines that the Project
is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15332 and the exemption
in CEQA Guidelines section 15183. The exemption in CEQA Guidelines section 15332
Res olution No. 22 -018
P age 3
applies to an infill development project which 1) is consistent with the applicable
General Plan designation and all applicable General Plan policies, as well as the
applicable Zoning designations and regulations; 2) occurs within the City limits on a
site of less than 5 acres in size that is substantially surrounded by urban uses; 3) is
located on a site that has no value for endangered, rare or threatened species; 4) would
not result in any significant effects related to traffic, noise, air quality or water quality;
and 5) can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. The
exemption in CEQA Guidelines section 15183 applies to a project that is consistent
with General Plan designations and zoning for the site described in the General Plan,
the potential impacts of which would be substantially mitigated by the imposition of
uniformly applied standard conditions of approval. The General Plan Amendment,
Housing Element Update, and Associated Rezoning Final Environmental Impact
Report (SCH No. 2014032007), certified by the City Council on December 4, 2014, was
prepared consistent with the requirements for applicability of streamlining under
CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(d)(2), and there are no environmental effects that are
peculiar to the proposed project or project site that were not analyzed in the General
Plan EIR;
