Application Summary: .
Update the Heart of the City Specific Plan to reflect the changes adopted in the 2005
General Plan.
(Continued from the August 26, 2008 Planning Commission meeting)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission provide recommendations to the City
Council on the draft of the updated Heart of the City Specific Plan following the
Planning Commission study session.
BACKGROUND:
At the August 26, 2008 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission reviewed the
draft of the updated Heart of the City Specific Plan and voted (5-0) to hold a study
session on September 23, 2008, and invite the public to provide comments during the
study session. The Commission approved a minute order informing the City Council of
the Planning Commission decision to hold a study session to allow for public input and
additional discussion on recommended amendments to the specific plan. Further, the
Commission requested that Kelly Kline, Redevelopment/Economic Development
Manager, be asked to attend the study session.
On June 10, 2008, the Planning Commission first reviewed the draft specific plan. The
Commission did not recommend changes to the document, but requested clarification
on the proposed elimination of the prescriptive side yard setback requirements,
examples of existing Heart of the City streetscapes, and discussion on whether bicycle
racks should be incorporated into the specific plan.
The Heart of the City Specific Plan update is a part of the 2008-2009 Work Program that
the City Council adopted on February 19, 2008. The Council requested that the Heart of
the City Specific Plan be modified to incorporate technical revisions reflecting the
changes made to the 2005 General Plan. The Council also requested that the Planning
Commission review and forward its recommendations to the Council.

DISCUSSION:
Fundamentals of the Heart of the City Specific Plan
The Heart of the City Specific Plan was adopted in 1995 to guide future development
and redevelopment of the Stevens Creek Corridor generally between Highway 85 and
the eastern City limits near Lawrence Expressway. The purpose and overall goal of the
plan for this area is to create a greater sense of place and community identity and to
develop this area as a pedestrian-inclusive gathering place.
The general policy framework for the Heart of the City area involves creating a link
generally between the Crossroads area at the western boundary of the Stevens Creek
Corridor, which encompasses the span of Stevens Creek Boulevard between The Oaks
shopping center at Highway 85 to the City Center at N. De Anza Boulevard, to the
eastern activity center of the Cupertino Square Mall and vicinity. The specific plan
involves cultivating a link between these centers by providing development standards
and design guidelines to promote land uses and development that focus and support
the growth of these centers which include a mixture of commercial, office and
residential uses along Stevens Creek Boulevard. The plan also involves connecting these
centers by promoting the streetscape concept of a tree-lined landscaped parkway
continuously along Stevens Creek Boulevard.
The role of the Stevens Creek Boulevard Corridor is determined by the activity centers,
as mentioned above, and the supporting uses and developments that are within the
mid-blocks of these centers. Currently, there is a diverse mixture of uses and building
forms along Stevens Creek Boulevard that vary from not only the specific plan, but also
from each other, and particularly within the mid-block areas due to the nature of
incremental development that occurs and has occurred along Stevens Creek Boulevard.
The current specific plan virtually allows any variety of general commercial, office and
residential uses along the street frontage of Stevens Creek Boulevard without much
consideration for the compatibility of how these uses and .building forms relate to each
other along the street frontages to create a uniform streetscape, and how such uses and
building forms in mid-block support the activity centers.
The Planning Commission may consider a discussion of these issues during the study
session to determine whether the vision for the Stevens Creek Boulevard Corridor
should be modified to address these issues. The draft of the updated Heart of the City
Specific Plan currently proposes retail uses along the street frontages; however, the
Commission may want to consider whether this is suitable, or if perhaps other uses,
such as residential or office uses, may be appropriate along certain portions of Stevens
Creek Boulevard in the mid-block areas to support the activity centers. Staff would like
the Commission to consider how any new buildings should be oriented to have a
frontage presence along Stevens Creek Boulevard to integrate with the streetscape
along the corridor.

The draft of the updated Heart of the City Specific Plan maintains these fundamental
purposes and goals. The updating of the plan primarily involves incorporating changes
that reflect the 2005 General Plan and additional language to provide further clarity in
the plan. New concepts and language have been incorporated to also promote better
usability of the plan (e.g. elimination of prescriptive side yard setbacks to support the
development of odd or narrow lots) without compromising the fundamental purposes
and goals of the plan.
Proposed Changes in the Draft Plan
In order to facilitate the Commission's discussion of the changes proposed in the draft
specific plan, staff has outlined the changes below based on the reasons for the changes:
2005 General Plan C

CirculationjParking
Goals
onslstency
A. Updates the Land Use Map and Streetscape Concept Plan
to reflect the new boundaries.
A. Updates the Land Use/Economic Goals and Policies to
incorporate the General Plan policy to allow for mixed-
use commercial and residential development "if . the
residential units provide an incentive to develop retail
use, if the development IS well designed, financially
beneficial to the Cupertino, provides community
amenities and is pedestrian oriented."
B. Updates office and commercial development allocation
numbers.
C. Updates the maximum residential density allowance to 25
dwelling units per acre. This replaces the preVIOUS
density allowance of 35 dwelling units per acre.
D. Incorporates new references for activity centers, including
the Crossroads area, subareas of Stevens Creek Boulevard
(east, west and central), and other properties north and
south of Stevens Creek Boulevard within the Heart of the
City area. This replaces the previous references to activity
centers identified as the Oaks/De Anza College area, the
Crossroads/City-Civic Center and Valleo Fashion Park
and Vicinity.
A. Includes language from the General Plan as a new strategy
to "evaluate options on Stevens Creek Boulevard to
Improve the pedestrian environment by proactively
managing speed limits, their manual and automated
enforcement and traffic signal synchrony."
B. Incorporates language from the General Plan as a new
strategy to "require shared parking agreements in the
Crossroads area, with overall parking standards reduced
to reflect shared parking arrangements."

Application Summary:
Update the Heart of the City Specific Plan to reflect the changes adopted in the 2005
General Plan.
(Continued from the June 10, 2008 Planning Commission meeting)
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council
review and approve the updated Heart of the City Specific Plan as it has been presented
in its finished design format.
BACKGROUND:
On June 10, 2008, the Planning Commission reviewed and commented on the draft of
the updated Heart of the City Specific Plan. The Commission did not recommend
changes to the document, but requested clarification on the following items pertaining
to the specific plan:
a. Provide examples of existing Heart of the City streetscapes that are consistent
with the streetscape requirements.
b. Discuss whether a requirement for bicycle racks should be incorporated into the
specific plan.
c. Clarify why the prescriptive requirements for side yard setbacks are being
eliminated.
The Heart of the City Specific Plan update is apart of the 2008-2009 Work Program that
the City Council adopted on February 19, 2008. The Council requested that the Heart of
the City Specific Plan be modified to incorporate technical revisions reflecting the
changes made to the 2005 General Plan. The Council also requested that the Plam1ing
Commission review and forward its recommendations to the Council.
DISCUSSION:
Heart of the City Streetscape Examples
The Heart of the City Specific Plan streetscape standards have been applied to some of
the more recent developments within the City, including the Metropolitan mixed use
commercial/residential development and the Whole Foods supermarket site. These

developments have incorporated the Heart of t~e City streetscape standards reflecting
all. aim to aclueve the "orchard grove" .appearance \vith a COIltinuouS landscaped
parkway along tIle curbside 'planted with.trees, a separated pedestrian sidewalk, and a
landscape parkway behind the sidewalk that is also planted with a continuous row of
trees.
Metropolitan development
V\lhole Foods
Bicycle Racks
The Plall.lUng 'Coffilnissioll requested clarificatioll on wheth.er a requiremen.t for bicycle
racks should be incorporated into the specific plan. Staff would like to llldicate that
bicycle racks are standard requirements for developments per the City's Parking
Regulations (Chapter 19.100 of the Zoning Ordinance). Developments within the Heart
of the City Specific Plan still need to COIn ply with the Parking Ordinance; therefore,
staff believes it is I10t necessary to incorporate an additional reference requiring bicycle
racks.
Prescriptive Side Yard Setback Requirements
The Commission also commented OIl the elimination of prescriptive side yard setback'
requiremeIlts ill the updated specific plan and' 110w this could create confusion for
applicalltS. As llldicated III the previous report, staff eliInlllated SUCll requirements and
proposed new language in the updated specific plan to allow for developments that
empIlasize relatioll.sll.ips to adjacent buildings and lot vvidtl1S to create a more
cOilllected, pedestriaIl-orien.ted streetscape tha11 developlnellts '\/VitIl rigid setback
standards regardless of their surrounding building and site relationships. This will also
aid lll. the de"velopmellt of Ilarrow alld odd-shaped lots Withirl tIle Heart of tIle City.
Finished Design Format
As a result of the June 10, 2008 Planni11g COImnission meeting, the la)Tout of the
updated Heart of the City Specific Plan has been arranged lllto its finished d'esigrl
format (See Exhi~it A). The finished format lllcludes additional photos that have been

INTRODUCTION
Overview
The Heart of th~ City Specific Plan provides
specific development guidance for one of the most
important commercial corridors in the City of Cu-
pertino. The purpose of the specific plan is to guide
the future development and redevelopment of the
approximately 250 acre Stevens Creek Boulevard
Corridor in a manner that creates a greater sense of
place and comnmnity identity in Cupertino. The
overall goal is to develop a Heart of the City, a pe-
destrian-inclusive gathering place that will create a
positive and memorable image of Cupertino
To achieve this goal, the Specific Plan intends
to guide future investment and development in the
area by:
1) Providing a clearly defined plan for the inten-
sification of certain subareas and the arrange-
ment of land uses to concentrate activity;
2) Developing detailed development standards
and architectural guidelines to inform build-
ers and the public about the community's ex-
pectations for quality development; and
3) Committing public investment and estab-
lishing additional financing to fund public
improvements that will enhance community
identity and unity along Stevens Creek Bou-
levard.
The Plan does not force the relocation of busi-
nesses; such decisions are determined by market
conditions, rather, the land use regulations and de-
sign guidelines are in place to guide f~ture devel-
opment and renovation of existing businesses. As
such private development will probably occur in-
crementally, but directed toward a common vision.
Specific Plan Area Description
The Heart of the City specific planning area
encompasses the properties fronting on or near the
Stevens Creek Boulevard Corridor, an east/west
transportation spine that is bounded by the eastern
City limits near Lawrence Expressway and High-
way 85 to the west.
Authority for the Plan
Section 65450 of the California Government
Code provides for local governments to prepare
specific plans for the systematic implementation of
the General Plan. The Specific Plan is a planning
tool that can be used to carry out the goals and poli-
cies of the General Plan. State law establishes cer-
tain minimum requirements that must be adhered
to in a specific plan. These requirements include
text and diagrams that specify all of the following
in detail:
1. The distribution, location and extent of the uses
of land, including open space, within the area
covered by the plan.
2. Standards and criteria by which development
will proceed and standards for the conservation,
development, and utilization of natural resourc-
es where appropriate.
3. The proposed distribution, location and intensity
of major components of the public and private
transportation, sanitary sewerage, water, storm-
water drainage, solid waste disposal, energy and
other essential facilities proposed to be located
within the area covered by the plan and needed
to support the land uses described in the plan.
4. A program of implementation measures includ-
ing regulations, programs and public works proj-
ects and financing measures needed to carry out
the provisions of the plan.

tions that assure compatibility, while em-
ploying specific, well-designed buffers for
adjacent residences.
10. Generally, the expenditure of public funds to ac-
quire and develop typical neighborhood parks is
not endorsed; however, passive rest areas should
be incorporated in new development to the ex-
tent feasible and in furtherance of Heart of the
City Specific Plan policies.
Circulation/Parking Goal
Facilitate efficient and safe movement of peo-
ple and vehicles within the specific planning area.
Maintain or improve transportation level of service
(LOS) "D" except at the intersection of Stevens
Creek Boulevard and De Anza Boulevard and at
the intersection of Stevens Creek Boulevard and
Stelling Road, where LOS E + is allowable to fur-
ther a unique community gathering place.
Policies:
1. Promote bicycle and pedestrian access along
Stevens Creek Boulevard by creating a network
of attractive formal and informal pedestrian
pathways that link together the Boulevard and
adjacent properties.
Strategies:
· Evaluate options on Stevens Creek Boule-
vard to improve the pedestrian environment
by proactively managing speed limits, their
manual and automated enforcement and
traffic signal synchrony.
· Require pedestrian planning for new devel-
opment that includes pedestrian linkages
between properties and pedestrian-oriented
amenities.
· Barriers to pedestrian access should not be
created between adjoining retail commercial
properties.
· Encourage active, outdoor-oriented commer-
cial uses.
· Develop design guidelines and incentives for
pedestrian plazas, courtyards and passive rest
areas.
· Complete implementation of the bicycle
plan for Stevens Creek Boulevard and pro-
vide bicycle racks as needed.
· Investigate the possibility of creating greater
pedestrian access between the residential
neighborhoods and retail centers.
· Investigate potential open space linkage
from Creekside Park to Stevens Creek Bou-
levard and into ValIeo Industrial Park using
the Calabazas Creek Corridor.
2. Improve traffic flow and visual continuity along
the Boulevard.
Strategy:
Reduce the number of curb cuts by requiring
shared driveways and interconnected roads
along the Boulevard where feasible through
private development improvements.
3. Adjust parking standards in accordance with ac-
tualland use demand.
Strategy:
· Establish revised parking standards for mixed
used developments that include residential
uses.
· Require shared parking agreements in the
Crossroads area, with overall parking stan-
dards reduced to reflect shared parking ar-
rarlgements.
Urban Design/Streetscape Goal
To create a high quality and distinct community
image and a functional and vibrant heart for Cu-
pertino.
Policies:
1. Provide a public improvement program, devel-
opment standards and design guidelines that

POLICY FRAMEWORK
11
will promote the future image of Stevens Creek
Boulevard as the Heart of the City.
Strategies:
. Implement a streetscape program that will
create a distinct, but cohesive, high quality
image for Stevens Creek Boulevard.
. Require compliance with the Heart of the
City design guidelines for new development
or redevelopment of existing buildings. Em-
phasize urban design as a major consideration
of the design review and approval process.
. Promote Boulevard landscaping that comple-
ments the planned land uses and activities
along the Boulevard.
. Enhance and promote the creation of pub-
lic space throughout the Heart of the City
through the use of building siting and design,
public art, landscaping and street furniture.
. Design entry points and landmarks that pro-
vide a sense of arrival to the Heart of the
City, initiate the streetscape theme and pro-
vide signage to important destinations.
. Develop entrance concepts, which may in-
clude structures and/or landscaping for major
projects to be implemented by private prop-
erty owners.
. Consider the visual and functional access
of significant public facilities in developing
building designs for the Heart of the City.
. Emphasize private property landscape mate-
rials that complement the streetscape land-
scape plan.
. Implement a plan to have a professional ar-
chitectural advisor to assist the City in the
design review process.
2. Soften and define the hardscape of parking areas,
pedestrian spaces and pathways by using land-
scapmg.
Strategy:
Develop design guidelines for the use of land-
scaping and furnirure in the hardscape areas
in order to define and separate use areas as
well as create more attractive environments.

STREETSCAPE DESIGN
STREETSCAPE DESIGN
Background and Purpose
The Streetscape Element of the Specific Plan
implements community design goals contained
in the 1993 General Plan, design concepts subse...
quently developed and revised in the 1993 "Heart
of the City" Design Charette, and any new poli...
, cies and concepts identified in the 2005 General
Plan. The general streetscape concept endorsed at
the Charette 'Na~ named "Parkurbia." It promotes a
"green" city, acknovvledges Cupertino's agricultural
past, and 'links the street's major activity centers
'with a continuous landscaped parkvvay as a princi...
pal objective.
The Streetscape Element cOITlplements the Spe....
cific Plan's Land Use Element by reflecting the cor....
ridor's different land use concentrations and desig...
nations. Design approaches vary to accomlTlodate
land uses. Options for implenl.entation depend to
a significant extent on the type of, existing devel...
opment immediately adjacent to the'street right....
of....\vay. Streetscape policies also reflect the setback,
frontage inl.proven1ents, and landscape and signage
requirernents established in the Plan's Develop....
ment Standards and Design Guidelines. Together,
these three Plan Elen1ents combine to pr01TIote an
attractive, n1i.xed...use boulevard, consistent \vith
the goals of the General Plan.
Streets cape improvement policies apply to both
public and private sector actions in the Specific
Plan Area. For exaluple, large...scale improvements
within the existing, right-of....V\7ay, such as street trees
and street lighting, may be best implemented by the
City \\7ith future reimbursement by private property
O\\7ners when redevelopment occurs; construction
can be more efficient and the appearance of the
. improvements more consistent. Improvements to
private property adjacent to the right...of...V\7ay would
need to be coordinated with the City, but could be
implemented as part of privately...financed site ren....
ovation or redevelop111ent. HO"VI7ever, the primary
purpose of the Streetscape Element is to define the
in1provements needed to fulfill the City's vision for
the Stevens Creek Boulevard corridor. It allO"ws for
flexibility in terms of phasing, financing, and design
modifications in order to address the needs of the
City and Specific Plan Area property o\vners and
businesses.
Streetscape Design' Principles
The Streetscape Element has five underlying
principles:
1) Unify the Visual Appearance of the Street
with Orchard/Grove Street Trees Plantings,
a Consistent Palette of Furnishings, and Civ....
ic Landmarks.
2) Improve the Pedestrian Environment Along
the Street Frontage \\7ith Passive Rest Ar....
eas, Planting Strips and Buffering Trees and
Shrubs.
J) Allow for Flexibility in the Design of
Streetscape lmproveluents to Address Ac....
cess and Visibility Needs of Adjacent Conl.....
mercial Development.
4) Acco111n10date Options for In1plenl.enting
Streetscape Improvements: e.g., City Con....
structioil, Renovations of Existing Develop....
ment, Standards for Ne\\7 Development.
5) Create a unique pedestrian oriented activity
center at the Crossroads.

STREETSC..6,.PE DESIGN
Design Concept
Four streetscape subareas are defined for the
corridor: West Stevens Creek Boulevard, Crossroads,
Central Stevens Creek Boulevard, and East Stevens
Creek Bo~levard. See the Concept Plan on the fol..
lO\\Ting page.
A continuous curbside planting strip and a con..
tinuous rovv of street trees \\Tould extend along the
en~ire corridor. HOV>,Tever, each subarea \\Tould fea..
ture a different tree species. Tree species are select..
ed to reflect differences in the character of develop..
n1ent.in the subareas and/or the predominant types
of existing trees and frontage conditions.
Streetscape Design policies for each of the sub..
areas are described below':
West StelLJens Creek Boulevard.. The West Ste..
vens Creek Boulevard subarea extends fro1TI Route
85 to Stelling Road. The planting theme is an "Oak
Grove." It features an inforn1al pianting of Live
Oaks (Quercus agrifolia) and native \\Tild flo\\Ters
in. curbside planting strips and the center 1uedian.
It is anticipated that these oaks could be planted
among the existing Deodar cedars at De Anza Col...
lege \vithout needing to ren10ve the existing trees.
This approach is intended to bring the landscape
of the adjacent foothills into the City, as \\Tell as tie
together the existing character of De Anza College,
Memorial Park, and The Oaks 'shopping center.
Trees s~ould be planted at approximately 40 feet
on center. Decomposed granite should be used as
the surface material where appropriate.
Crossroads.. Refer to the Crossroads Streetscape
Pla~1 for details. This subarea extends from Stelling
Road to De Anza Boulevard.
Central Stevens Creek Boulevard.. The Central
Stevens Creek Boulevard subarea extends fron1. De
Anza Boulevard East to Peri1ueter Road. The plant..
ing theme is a "Flowering Orchard." It features a
formal planting of Flo\vering Pear (Pyrus calleriana
"Chanticleer") and grass in curbside planting strips.
FlO\\Tering shrubs .could be planted in the center
median V>,7here appropriate. This approach fills in
and 'extends' the tree plantings that presently ex..
. ist along the street, and the formal tree placement
. expresses the importance of the Central Stevens
Creek Boulevard as the civic and cultural heart of
the City. Trees should be planted in rO\\TS on both
sides of the side\valk at approximately 25 feet on
center. For retail properties \vith narrow drive\\Tays,
the second rO\\7 tree on each side of the drivev\7ay
need not be planted if it obscures retail visibility.
East Stevens Creek Bouleo..lard .. The East Stevens
Creek Boulevard subarea extends from Perimeter
Road to the, City boundary adjacent to Tantau Ave.. ,
nue. The planting theme, is an "Ash Grove." It fea..
tures a relatively formal planting of Ash (Fr.axinus
species) in curbside plantll1.g strips and the center
median. Similar to the Central Stevens Creek Bou...
levard subarea, this approach fills in and extends
the tree plantings that presently exist along the
street. It also combines vlith the "Oak Grove" in
the West Stevens Creek Boulevard subarea to fra1ne
the Central Stevens Creek Boulevard subarea. Both
vvill have a shady, some\vhat rural visual character.
CITY OF CUPERTINO - HEART OF THE CITY SPECIFIC PL-<\N
1-22
STREETSCAPE DESIGN
15
Trees should be planted in rows on both sides of
the sidewalk at approximately 35 feet on center.
Grass or low-growing groundcover may be used as
the surface material. For retail properties with nar-
row driveways, the second row tree on each side
of the driveway need not be planted if it obscures
retail visibility. If a double row of mature ashes is
already established along a commercial retail front-
age, neither row of trees should be removed.
Frontage Renovation Conditions
A curbside planting strip 10 feet in width and
a sidewalk a minimum of 6 feet in width should be
established along the entire frontage of the street.
In the Central Stevens Creek Boulevard and East
Stevens Creek Boulevard subareas, a planting area
10 feet in width should also be established behind
the walk to accommodate a second row of trees.
Conditions along the street vary, however, and
implementing the Design Concept in a uniform
way will be difficult, at least for the near term. The
Frontage Renovation Conditions plans on the
following page illustrate typical existing frontage
conditions and recommendations for responding
to them to implement the Design Concept. Con-
ditions are described below, from least to most con-
strained.
1) Wide Landscape Easement with Planting Strip -
This condition is the model for the rest of the
street. It contains a 10 feet planting strip and
a 10 foot landscape easement adjacent to the
sidewalk. It reflects City requirements for front-
age landscaping that have been in place for the
past twelve years and as such characterizes most
of the new development along the street. Exist-
ing trees in these areas, however, rarely form
consistent rows along the street. Additional
trees should be added to create a double row of
trees at a spacing consistent with the streetscape
design. Existing trees of the recommended tree
species should not be removed if spaced closer
than the streetscape design. Over the long term
when redevelopment of properties occurs, the
wide landscape easement with planting strip
will be implemented on all Town Center and
East Gateway frontage properties.
2) Curbside Walk with Landscape Easement - A curb-
side planting strip up to 10 feet in width and
a double row of trees can be established under
this condition. However, because the width of
the easement area varies, the second row of trees
may need to be offset from the first row.
3) Wide Curbside Walk witlwut Landscape Easement -
In this condition the entire curbside right-of-
way is paved as a sidewalk. Levels of pedestrian
activity along the street generally don't demand
a walk this wide, and a curbside planting strip
approximately 6 feet wide should be established
by removing the curbside portion of the walk.
4) Curbside Walk without Landscape Easement - As
illustrated, a monolithic curb, gutter and side-
walk exists with a relatively narrow planting
area between the sidewalk and adjacent build-
ings and/or parking areas. There is no landscape
easement adjacent to the right-of-way, and
there is only 10 feet within the right-of-way.
To implement the Streetscape Concept under
these conditions the location of the walk and
planting area needs to be reversed. A 5 feet
curbside planting strip and a 5 feet sidewalk
should be established within the right-of-way.
Trees should be located in adjacent parking lots
as feasible to establish a double row.
The frontage improvements recommended
should be improved as part of renovations to exist-
ing developments and properties, and/or required
along with a wider landscape easement if redevel-
opment of a property occurs.

DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND DESIGN GUIDELINES
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND
DESIGN GUIDELINES
Background
The Development Standards and Design Guide~
lines contained in this Elerp.en t provide regulatory
support for the Specifi~ Plan's land use policies.
They are intended to promote high-quality private~
sector development, enhance property values, and
ensure that both private investnlent and public
activity ,continues to be attracted to the Stevens
. Creek Boulevard corridor.
The Standards and Guidelines reflect the Com~
Iuunity Design Goals of the 1993 General Plan, the
"Parkurbia" streetscape concept that emerged froln
the 1993 "Heart of the City" design charette, the
implementing streetscape improvenlent policies
contained in the Specific Plan's Streetscape Ele~
ment, and any new policies and concepts identified
in the 2005 General Plan.
As noted throughout the Specific Plan, the
"Parkurbia" concept promotes a "green" city, ac~
kno\\7ledges Cupertino~s agricultural past, and en~
visions Stevens Creek Boulevard as a landscaped
park\\7ay linking major centers of cultural, office,
and retail use. Ho-wever, Stevens Creek Boulevard
lllUSt also acconlmodate a variety of develoPluent
types outside of the 'activity nodes around intersec~
tions, and a central objective of the Standards and
Guidelines is to accommodate this variety 'Nithin
the overall parameters of the "Parkurbia" concept.
The Mixed-Use Parkway
The image of Cupertino is 1l10st on display along
Stevens Creek Boulevard. The corridor is the cen~
tral elenlent of Cupertino's "public reahu," \vhere
much of its public life occurs. Yet the corridor's
hodge~podge appearance conq.-ibutes little to the
overall character of the comrnunity and is at odds
with the orderly sub~urban character of its neigh~
borhoods and business parks. Land uses, building
forms, and landscapin.g vary fronl one property to
the next. "Building as a sign" commercial build~
ings, sleek offices, old and ne\\' shoppmg centers,
parks, parking lots, gas stations, condominiums and
apartments all "do their oV\~n thing," independent
of one another.
While progress has been made durjng the life'
of the Heart of the City, several properties along
the corridor still have development potential and
th~refore, a consistent set ~:l standards and guide~
lines is necessary. Some examples of projects where
the Heart of the City standards have been suc~
cessfully applied are: Adobe Terrace, Marketplace
Shopping Center and the Travigne development at
the north east comer of Blaney Avenue and Ste-
vens Creek Boulevard.

DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND DESIGN GUIDELINES

Participants in the General Plan process and the
Heart of the City Design Charette in 1993 identi-
fied this lack of coherence as particularly undesir-
able, and identified a "parkway" design approach as
a means of both bringing visual order to the street
and reflecting the physical characteristics of the
rest of the community.
The goals of the Standards and Guidelines are
therefore:
1) Accommodate a continuous parkway /street-
tree planting scheme that facilitates pedes-
trian activity, yet maintain the visibility and
access needed for successful commercial retail
businesses.
2) Promote visual compatibility between com-
mercial, office, and residential development.
3) Allow commercial, office and residential de-
velopment flexibility to meet different needs
in terms of building form and site and front-
age orientation.
The manner in which the Standards and Guide-
lines address these goals is summarized below:
VisibiLity: The Standards and Guidelines imple-
ment the parkway frontage concept established in
the Streetscape Element of the Specific Plan. They
require that all new development provide a front-
age landscape easement that extends twenty six feet
back from the curb. The easement will accommo-
date a curbside planting strip, sidewalk, and either
a single row or double row of street trees.
However, visibility of development from the
roadway is important for most types of develop-
ment. Because businesses market goods and services
directly to motorists, it is essential for commercial
retail development. The Standards and Guidelines
therefore contain the following provisions to main-
tain visibility:
1. Building-from-curb setbacks are reduced to 35';
2. Total area permitted for commercial wall signs
is increased from 1 square foot per linear foot
of store frontage to 1.5 square feet.
In addition the Streets cape Element contains
policies for installing trees with canopies high
enough to allow visibility of adjacent properties.
Compatibility: The Standards and guidelines do
not require a particular architectural style or styles.
However they do encourage a common approach
in terms of architectural features. For example,
all buildings are required to have a main building
entrance visible from the street frontage, and all
buildings are encouraged to have an architectural
base, a consistent arrangement of building masses,
and an attractive roof or roofline.
In addition to the consistent parkway frontage,
elements of agricultural landscaping and pedestrian
scale character - "orchard" tree plantings, trellises
and arbors, and pedestrian-height light fixtures-are
emphasized. Clearly-defined walking paths connect-
ing public sidewalks, prominent building entries,
courtyards, and parking areas are required. Proper-
ties are buffered along rear lot lines by fences and/or
walls and evenly-spaced "wind row" tree plantings.
FleAibility: Different forms of development typi-
cally exhibit different on-site relationships between
buildings, parking, street frontages, and landscaped
areas: Maximum visibility, minimal landscaping, and
a frontal relationship of buildings to the street front-
age is typically preferred for commercial development.
Some amount of visibility combined with attractive
landscaping is preferred for office buildings, with the
relationship of buildings to street frontages varyuig
from site to site. Dense screening and landscaping is
preferred for residential development, with buildings
often oriented away from street frontages.
The Standards and Guidelines encourage build-
ings to be located in relatively close proximity to the
frontage to increase visibility, and architectural and
site improvement provisions encourage compatibility
Ui terms of the general appearance of development,
as noted above. However, on-site relationships may
vary from development type to development type.

DEVEWPMENT STANDARDS AND DESIGN GUIDEUNES
Using the Standards and Guidelines
Development Standards address those aspects
of development that are essential to achieve the
goals of the Specific Plan. They are specifications
for site development and building design, such as
permitted land uses, building height, and setbacks.
Standards must be adhered to and typically employ
the word "shal1."
Design Guidelines, on the other hand, provide
guidance for new development in terms of more
subjective considerations, such as district char-
acter or design details. They also serve as criteria
for design review by City staff and the Planning
Commission. Guidelines typically employ the word
"should." Variations are permitted if they will sub-
stantially aid in meeting the overall principles and
objectives of the Specific Plan.
Illustrative Building Prototypes illustrate ap-
plication of the Standard and Guidelines and the
forms of development desired by the City.

DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
1.01.010 Description
Standards and guidelill.es promote development that is compa..tible both with nearby neigh-
borhoods and with existing and planned development along Stevens Creek Boulevard. A va-
riety of different types of commercial development, from stand-alone single-tenant buildings
to small convenience centers, office buildings and large shopping centers may be proposed.
Buildings are encouraged to be located closer to the street frontage for visibility. The devel-
opment standards generally require that surface parking areas shall be located to the side or
rear of buildings, with shade trees in an "orchard" planting arrangement. Amenities, such
as benches, pedestrian-scale lighting, and planters are encouraged along building frontages,
where they will be visible from Stevens Creek Boulevard.
1.01.020 land Use
A. Permitted Uses
1. Commercial - As specified in the City's General Commercial (CG) Zoning district with
the following locational restrictions:
a. Uses such as professional, general, administrative, business offices, business services,
such as advertising bureaus, credit reporting, accounting and similar consulting
agencies, stenographic services, and communication equipment buildings,
vocational and specialized schools, dance and music studios, gymnasiums and
health clubs and child care centers and other uses that do not involve the direct
retailing of goods 01' services to the general public shall not be allowed on the
Stevens Creek Boulevard street frontage of buildings.
b. These uses may be located at the rear of buildings provided there is a viable
storefront space along the Steven Creek Boulevard street frontage for other rental
purposes. This space shall also have adequate depth to accommodate tenants.
2. Residential- at a maximum density of twenty five (25) units peracre. For mixed residential
and commercial developments this shall be net density, excluding parking and/or land
areas devoted to the commercial portion of the development.
The following is an illustration of how net density is calculated:
Gross lot = 1 acre (43,560 sq. ft)
Commercial building area = 8,000 sq. ft.
Surface parking area for commercial area = 6,120 sq. ft. (40 uni-size spaces @ 1/250
sq. ft.)
Allowance for outdoor open/landscaping area (10% of commercial building and
parking area) = 1,412 sq. ft.
Total area for commercial portion of development = 15,532 sq. ft.
Remainder area = 28,028 sq. ft. = 0.643 acres
CITY OF CUPERTINO - HEART OF THE CITY SPECIFIC PLA.N
1-27
20
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
Units allowable on remainder area = 0.643 * 25 = 16 units
3. Office Over Retail
4. Other Conditional Uses - as specified in the City's General Commercial (CG) Zoning
district.
B. Maximum Development Intensity
1. Residential and Residential Mixed Use Development - Applicants must apply for an
allocation from the residential development allocation pool.

they are enclosed, centrally located on the roof and not visible from adjacent streets.
B. Front Setbacks
1. Minimum Setback - for new development shall be nine (9) feet from the required Boulevard
Landscape Easement; see section 1.01.040(E), below. New development shall be defined
as a twenty five per cent (25%) or greater increase in floor area or a 25% or greater change
in floor area resulting from use permit or architectural and site approval within twelve (12)
months.
2. Comer Parcels. - setback requirement applies to both frontages (e.g., comer parking lots
not permitted); minimum frontage requirement recommended but not required.
3. Special Architectural Features - subject to City review: entrance porticoes, canopies, and
or other features may extend up to four (4) feet into the front setback area.
C. Minimum Side And Rear Setbacks
1. Minimum Side Setback - for new development shall be determined in conjunction with
the development review process and shall depend on the following factors:
CITY OF CUPERTINO - HEART OF THE CITY SPECIFIC PLAN
1-28
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
21
a. Width of the lot being developed and
b. Setbacks and relationships with buildings on immediately adjacent properties.
When adjacent properties are jointly developed as they may occur in a shopping
center the setbacks between buildings may be reduced to z.ero when it promotes
pedestrian access.
2. Minimum Rear Setback - for new development along developed or zoned residential
properties the rear setback shall be equal to one and one-half (1.5) times the height of the
building with a minimum setback of 20 feet.
3. Uninhabitable building elements - such as chimneys and projecting eaves may encroach

A. Access
1. Direct Pedestrian Access - in the form of a walkway shall be provided from the Stevens
Creek Boulevard sidewalk to the main building entrance; i.e., pedestrian access to building
entrances shall not require walking between parking spaces. If pedestrian access ways
cannot be separated from parking bays and/or circulation aisles, they must be distinguished
by a different paving material.
2. Vehicular Access/Curb Cuts - shall be shared wherever possible.
a. Maximum Number - of curb cuts shall be one (1) two-way curb cut or two (2) one-
way curb cuts on Stevens Creek Boulevard.

DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
B. Parking
1. Location of Surface Lots - shall be to the side and/or rear of buildings and planted
with shade trees in an "orchard arrangement"; in no case shall surface parking lots be
closer to surrounding public walks than twenty (20) feet. Subsurface parking is highly
recommended.
2. The Perimeter of Parking Lots and Driveways - The perimeter of parking areas adjacent to
the side and/or rear property lines shall be screened with a wall or fence if located next to
a residential development. lnterconnectivity between retail/commercial developments is
desired, so any walls or fences shall consider providing access between properties. See "Site
Improvements and Landscaping" for \vall, fence, pier, and pedestrian access guidelines.
3. Subsurface Garages - The majority of parking should be depressed partially below grade.
The finished first floor height should be no more than three and one half (3.5) feet above
sidewalk grade; this may be averaged but shall not exceed height of five (5) feet above
sidewalk grade.
4. Garage Doors - or gates shall be provided for all residential garages. Maximum width for
common garage entrances shall be twenty (20) feet for double doors and ten (10) feet for
single doors.
C. Building Access
Direct Pedestrian Access - in the form of a walkway shall be provided from the Stevens
Creek Boulevard sidewalk to the main building entrance; i.e., pedestrian access to building
entrances shall not require walking between parking spaces. If pedestrian access ways carmot
be separated from parking bays and/or circulation aisles, they must be distinguished by a dif-
ferent paving material.
D. Common Open Space

EXCEPTION PROCESS FOR DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
25
EXCEPTION PROCESS FOR DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
In order to provide design flexibility in situations when small lot size, unusually shaped par-
cels, or unique surrounding land uses make it difficult to adhere to the development standards
and where all efforts to meet the standards have been exhausted, an applicant for devel-
opment may file an exception request to seek approval to deviate from the standards. The
possibility of lot consolidation, if an exception is needed for a substandard parcel, shall be
evaluated. The exception process shall not be used to increase land use intensity or change
permitted land uses.
A. An exception for development standards can be approved if the final approval authority
for a project makes all of the following findings:
1. The proposed development is otherwise consistent with the City's General Plan and
with the goals of this specific plan and meets one or more of the criteria described
above.
2. The proposed development will not be injurious to property or improvements in the
area nor be detrimental to the public health and safety.
3. The proposed development will not create a hazardous condition for pedestrian or
vehicular tramc.
4. The proposed development has legal access to public streets and public services are
available to serve the development.
S. The proposed development requires an exception which involves the least modification
of, or deviation from, the development regulations prescribed in this chapter necessary
to accomplish a reasonable use of the parcel.
B. An application for exception must be submitted on a form as prescribed by the Director
of Community Development. The application shall be accompanied by a fee prescribed
by City Council resolution, no part of which shall be refundable, to the applicant. Upon
receipt of an application for an exception, the Director shall issue a Notice of Public Hearing
before the Planning Commission for an exception under this chapter in the same manner
as provided in section 19.120.060 (relating to zoning changes). After a public hearing, and
consideration of the application in conjunction with the mandatory findings contained in
subsection A above, the Planning Commission shall approve, conditionally approve or
deny the application for an exception. The decision of the Planning Commission may be
appealed to the City Council as provided in Section 19.136.060.
C. An exception which has not been used within two years following the effective date thereof,
shall become null and void and of no effect unless a shorter time period shall specifically
be prescribed by the conditions of such permit or variance. An exception permit shall be
deemed to have been used in the event of the erection of a structure or structures when
sufficient building activity has occurred and continues to occur in a diligent manner.

DESIGN GUIDELINES
DESIGN GUIDELINES
2.01.010 Description
The Design Guidelines promote buildings that assume some of the communication functions
of signs. Through their overall form and appearance buildings should communicate more
than just a business name to a motorist who is shopping by car - how many businesses are
there? where to park? where to enter the building?
A "building as sign" is taller than a typical one-story building, with a distinctive silhouette. It
is located in close proximity to the street frontage. The driveway and main building entrance
is identified by a taller architectural form, which is an excellent location for mounting a sign
visible from a car.
A. Building Increment - Long facades should be divided into shorter segments or modules.
Modules along the Stevens Creek Boulevard frontage are recommended to be twenty-five
(25) feet long and a maximum of fifty (50) feet long, and should be separated by major
changes in the building mass or facade treatment, such as a projected entrance or window
volume(s), notch, roof form, or other architectural feature. In some cases, these modules
may be separated by varying the col.or of individual modules within a harmonious palette
of colors.
B. Special Architectural Features - should accent buildings at the main building
entrance, adjacent to entrance drives, and/or at building comers. A diagonal "cut" at a
comer, or a notch for a grand building entry, can also be effective. Features that relieve
flatness of facades, such as recessed windows, architectural trim with substantial depth
and detail, bay windows, window boxes, dormers, entry porches, etc., are recommended.
Balconies, trellises and porches are also recommended to add human scale elements to
projects.
C. Massing - the overall form of a quality building is created by its three-dimensional
characteristics, or massing. Different combinations of building mass should be used to
compose a building. Building masses may be singular, like a tall or projecting mass located
in the center to mark a main entrance. They may be symmetrical, for example towers
placed on either side of the main entry; or they may be repeated in a slightly different way
in another building location.
D. Building Clusters - Buildings should relate to one another to shape open space in
between, as is common on campuses. Changes in building form should be used to organize
and accent space, by creating axial relationships between buildings, defining special
courtyard spaces, etc.
E. Facade Composition - Every building and/or individual tenant space should have a
base; a clear pattern of openings and surface features; a prominent main entrance; and an
attractive, visually interesting roofline. The building should convey quality materials.
1. Building Base - This may be as simple as a visual thickening of the wall where the
building touches the ground, a different surface material and/or wall color, or a different
CITY OF CUPERTINO - HEART OF THE CrTY SPECIFIC Pu.N
1-34
DESIGN GUIDELINES
27
design treatment for the ground floor in a two-story building facade.
2. Pattern of Openings and Surface Features - Windows, wall panels, pilasters, building
bays, and storefronts should be based on a module derived from the building's structural
bay spacing.
3. Building Entrances - should be easily identifiable and distinguishable and located on
the front of the building or on a fronting, traffic-facing building comer. One or more of
the following treatments should be used:
a. A Taller Mass Above - such as a tower or turret, or a volume that protrudes from
the rest of building surface.
b. Centered in the Facade - as part of a symmetrical overall composition.
c. Accented by Architectural Elements - such as columns, overhanging roofs, awnings,
canopies and/or ornamental light fixtures.
d. A Change in Roofline or Roof Type Above.
For detached residential buildings in a development, building entrances should be
part of a clear entry sequence, extending from the public sidewalk to the private front
door. The following elements are recommended:
e. Stoops and/or Open Porches - should be provided at regular intervals which
correspond to the vertical modules of building units. The stoops shall be wide
enough for people to sit on and to make entries inviting. Open porches should
have attractive bulkheads or balustrade railings and a roof that complements the
pitch and materials of the main roof.
f. Stairs - should be boxed and framed by attractive stepped bulkheads walls or
balustrade railings. Bullnose treads are recommended. Open or "floating" exterior
stairs should not be used.
g. Ornamental Lighting - of porches and walks to highlight entrances and add
security.
h. Freestanding Landscape Elements - such as trellises, arbors, and special landscape
materials that add character to yard spaces and/ or accent the entry sequence.
4. Rooflines - should be simple, changing shape to reflect important building masses,
tenants be- low, and/ or other important internal building functions.
F. Windows - are an important element of facade composition and an indicator of over all
building quality:
1. \X1indow/Wall Proportion - In general, upper stories should have a window-to-wall area
proportion that is smaller than that of ground floor storefronts.
2. Window Openings - should generally be vertical or square in shape. Horizontally-
oriented openings generally make buildings appear squat and massive.
CITY OF CUPERTINO - HEART OF THE CITY SPECIFIC PLAN
1-35
28
DESIGN GUIDELINES
3. Window Inset - Glass should be inset a minimum of 3" from the window frame or from
the exterior wall surface to add relief to building surfaces; this is especially important
for stucco buildings.
4. Shaped Frames and Sills - should be used to enhance openings and add relief to wall
surfaces.
G. Wall Surfaces - If the building mass and variety of windows and doors is complex, simple
wall surfaces may be preferable (e.g. stucco); if the building volume and the pattern of
wall openings is simple, additional wall texture and articulation should be employed (e.g.
bricks or blocks, or rusticated stucco). Pilasters, columns, cornices, and other forms of
surface relief should be used to add visual interest and scale.
H. Roofs - Parapets and/or shallow gable, hip, or other tVo'O-slope roofs are recommended for
all buildings.
1. Roof Slopes - should be between 3: 12 and 6: 12.
2. Roof Ridges - should be aligned to be parallel and/or perpendicular to the street
frontage.
3. Roof Overhangs - are strongly recommended. Overhangs should be a minimum of three
(3) feet, with additional articulation in the form of support struts, gutter facia, and/or
exposed beams/ rafter ends.
4. Materials - The following roofing materials are typical for the district:
a. Metal seam made of aluminum, galvanized steel or other coated steel, recommended
finishes are anodized, fluorocoated or painted.
b. Clay, ceramic or concrete tile may also be appropriate if consistent with the desired
building character.
c. Tar and gravel, composition, or elastomeric roofs should be screened by roofed
parapets.
d. Asphalt shingle roofs are not recommended.
I. Signs - Guidelines 1 through 4 below apply to building-nlOunted signs.
1. Sign Location - Signs should be mounted on parapets, towers, turrets, recessed wall
areas, and/or other architectural features specifically designed for them. Flush-mounted
and painted wall signs should align with major architectural elements, such as doors
and windows. Ornamental elements, such as moldings, pilasters, arches, clerestory
windows, roof eaves, or cornice lines should be used as a frame.
2. Awning and canopy signs - are recommended for commercial retail buildings. Awning
signs should appear and function primarily as awnings, however. Awnings should reflect
the building's facade module and should not extend for more than fifty (50) linear feet
without a break. Signs on canopies should be integrated with the canopy fascia, or be in
the form of freestanding letters mounted on top and extending above the fascia.
CITY OF CUPERTINO - HEART OF THE CIn' SPECIFIC PUcN

DESIGN GUIDEUl'.TES
29
3. Projecting Signs - are recommended if designed as architectural features or are located
primarily for pedestrian visibility; minimum sidewalk clearance should be seven (7)
feet.
4. Architectural Style - Sign shapes, type styles, and color combinations should
complement building styles.
5. Structural supports - should be attractive. They should complement the overall design
of the sign and! or building(s). Ornamental metal is strongly recommended.
6. Materials - should be attractive and long-lasting. Recommended materials are:
a. Signboards - of wood or metal, with painted, engraved or routed letters, or mounted
letters of wood or metal.
b. Silhouette or figurative signs - three-dimensional letters, symbols, and / or
ornamental figures made of wood or metal.
c. Fabric awnings - such as canvas or nylon, with painted or applied lettering; plastic
awnings should not be used.
J. Common Open Space - Developments with a residential component should contain
both landscaped/garden areas and hardscape areas that encourage social interaction.
1. Common Landscaped Space - A landscaped green and/or garden space should comprise
between seventy per cent (70%) and eighty per cent (80%) of the common outdoor
space. The location should be in a courtyard, side yard, rear yard, or common green
for larger developments. Space should be rectilinear with no side less than fifteen (15)
feet. Space should be seventy five percent (75%) enclosed by buildings, low walls, low
fences, or linear landscaping (e.g., hedges or rows of trees) and not be bordered by
surface parking areas on more than one side.
2. Common Hardscape Space - Between twenty per cent (20%) and thirty per cent (30%)
of common outdoor space should be in the form of unit-paved or gravel areas, common
roof deck space, or any combination of the two. Hardscape space shall be connected
directly to the required landscaped space by stairs, walks, and/or ramps if necessary.
K. Accessory Buildings
1. General - Accessory buildings of all types should have architectural treatments derived
from the main building in terms of surface materials, trim, fenestration, roof materials,
and color.
2. Freestanding Garages - should be unobtrusive, preferably located at the rear of properties
to minimize visual impact.
a. Single-car garage doors - are strongly recommended, with windows, surface panels,
and other forms of architectural detailing to reduce their impact and scale.
b. A maximum of five (5) garage doors - may be lined up consecutively; a space of five
(5) feet shall be provided between each garage or group of doors.
CITY OF CUPERTINO - HEART OF THE CITY SPECIFIC PL"N
1-37
30
DESIGN GUIDELINES
L. lighting - should be used to enhance signs and buildings. When possible, sign illumination
should be coordinated with an overall building lighting scheme. Recommended lighting
approaches are:
1. Backlit - with lighting inside and behind projecting lettering and/ or awnings.
2. Floodlit - with single or multiple spotlights, provided light sources are shielded to
protect motorists, pedestrians, and adjacent properties.
3. Color and lamp type - Light sources providing the most pleasing and accurate color
rendering are metal halide, incandescent, and color-corrected fluorescent. Other
lamp types, such as cool white fluorescent, mercury vapor, and high and low pressure
sodium may distort sign colors and should be used according to advice from a lighting
professional; these lamp types are not appropriate for area lighting.
4. The light fixtures shall be oriented and designed to preclude any light and direct glare
to adjacent residential properties. No direct off-site glare from a light source shall be
visible above 3 feet at a public right.of-way.
5. Parking lots, sidewalks and other areas accessible to pedestrians and automobiles shall
be illuminated with a uniform and adequate intensity. Typical standards to achieve
uniform and adequate intensity are identified in the Cupertino Municipal Code,
Chapter 19.100.
6. Lighting around automatic teller machines shall meet minimum standards required by
the State Business and Professions Code.

SITE IMPROVEMENTS AND LANDSCAPING GUIDELINES
2.01.040 Description
The following Design Guidelines for Site Improvements and Landscaping apply to all Ste-
vens Creek Boulevard Specinc Plan Areas unless otherwise indicated.
A. Pedestrian Pathways.- Informal pedestrian pathways linking adjacent properties and
buildings are recommended. These pathways are intended to form a network separate
from the public right-of-way. A variety of approaches are possible and the City will review
linkage opportunities and proposals on a case-by-case basis.
B. Paving Materials - recommended for pedestrian surfaces are listed below. In general, a
ma.ximum of two materials should be combined in a single application:
1. Stone - such as slate or granite.
2. Brick pavers.
3. Concrete unit pavers.
4. Poured-in-place concrete - with any of the following treatments: integral pigment
. color; special aggregatej special scoring pattemj omamental insets, such as tilej pattem
stamped. All concrete walks should be tinted to reduce glare.
C. Walls, Fences, Hedges, Gateways And Piers - should be used to denne public and
private boundaries and/ or spaces and screen parking areas.
1. Design - Walls, fences, gateways and piers should be designed to reflect the architectural
style and materials of the principal building(s).
a. A combination of thick and thin structural elements - should be used, with thicker
elements for supports and/or panel divisions. Fenceposts and/or support columns
may be built up with additional trim, comices, and/or moldings for this purpose.
b. Walls and piers - should have a base and coping.
c. Piers - A row of freestanding piers can be effective as an open screen between
parking areas and streets or walks. A continuous chain or open metal fence between
piers can be an attractive device for creating a stronger separation.
2. Materials - should be the same as or compatible with those of the principal building(s).
Support post or pier materials may differ from fence materialsj e.g. metal fence panels
combined with masonry piers.
a. Fences - Recommended materials are wrought iron, cast iron, and welded steel for
commercial applications. Metal fences may be mounted on a low masonry wall,
and/ or spanning masonry piers. Wood fences are appropriate in residential Plan
Areas only. They should be substantial in design and painted a light color.
b. Walls and piers - recommended materials are precast concrete stucco-faced
concrete, brick, or stone.
CITY OF CUPERTINO - HEART OF THE CITY SPECIFIC PLAN
1-41
34
SITE IMPROVEMENTS AND LANDSCAPING GUIDELINES
Co N at recommended:
(i) Chain link fences.
(ii) Unfinished or unsurfaced concrete block walls - are strongly discouraged. Block
walls should be coated with cement stucco or similar surface. Split-face block
walls may be appropriate along side or rear property lines only.
(iii) Rustic wood fences
D. Plant Materials And Landscape Treatments - Used on properties adjacent to the
right~of-way should reflect the following guidelines:
1. Plant Materials Along Stevens Creek Boulevard - should create an attractive and
harmonious character, in keeping with the orchard/grove streetscape theme.
a. Trees with open branching structures - should be used. Deciduous trees are
recommended.
b. Planting/landscaped areas - should have a simple palette of plant species.
c. Complex planting schemes - should not be used in front yard areas.
2. Plant Materials in Other Locations - should be selected and placed to reflect both
ornamental and functional characteristics.
a. Deciduous trees - should be the predominant large plant material used. They
should be located adjacent to buildings and within parking areas to provide shade
in summer and allow sun in winter. Species should be selected to provide fall color,
and to minimize litter and other maintenance problems.
b. Evergreen shrubs and trees - should be used as a screening device along rear property
lines (not directly adjacent to residences), around mechanical appurtenances, and
to obscure grillwork and fencing associated with subsurface parking garages.
c. Flowering shrubs and trees - should be used where they can be most appreciated,
adjacent to walks and recreational areas, or as a frame for building entrances, stairs,
and walks. .
3. Fountains - are recommended in hardscape open spaces to provide cooling in hot
weather. The design and materials should be related to the principal building(s) and/
or on-site furnishings.
4. Surface Parking Lots - utilize a significant amount of site area and should be designed
as an integral feature of the overall site development plan.
a. Space-defining elements - such as trellises, columns, walls, arbors, and hedges
should be provided to enhance the appearance of lots. These elements should be
consistent in design and materials with the principal building(s) and other site
features.
1. Parking Lots - Planting should be consistent with the standards outlined in the
parking ordinance.
CITY OF CUPERTINO - HEART OF THE CITY SPECIFIC PU>.N
1-42
SITE IMPROVEMENTS AND LANDSCAPING GUIDEUNES
35
c. "Orchard Parking" - should be employed in all surface lots. The "orchard" tree
placement provides better shade on the passenger compartment and more even
shade and vegetation "throughout the parking area. Trees shall be planted toward
the rear of parking stalls to create a grid rather than rows. Such trees' shall be
protected by curbing or bollards as appropriate.
E. Surface Grading - should be minimized to maintain an orchard/grove character of
development throughout the Stevens Creek Boulevard Specific Plan Area. The grading
should be performed to satisfy the requirements of the Department of Public Works.
1. Mounding earth - to elevate buildings, or "berming" earth against the side of buildings,
is not recommended.

INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN
INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN
Background
State law requires that all specific plans include
text describing the distribution, location and inten-
sity of major components of infrastructure needed
to support the proposed land use and development
in the specific planning area. The level of private
and public improvement and development as con-
templated in the Heart of the City Specific Plan
will not warrant any major expansion of the City's
infrastructure. The n;'ajor components of this spe-
cific plan involve:
. Streetscape improvements, primarily land-
scaping, which do not require purchase of
property or narrowing of existing streets.
. Allocation of development potential, which
was previously demonstrated in the Gen-
eral Plan environmental impact report to be
within the capacities of existing services and
infrastructure.
. Guidance of architectural design of future
development which will not require expan-
sion of infrastructure.
Transportation
The Heart of the City Specific Plan envisions
a multimodal transportation corridor for Stevens
Creek Boulevard. As such the plan proposes the
eventual completion of all sidewalk improvements
along the boulevard such that the sidewalk will be
separated from the street by a buffering easement of
trees and other landscaping. The amount of side-
walk improvements that will need to be made are
as follows:
Reconstruction of monolithic sidewalk: -7,250 ft.
Construction of new sidewalk: -150 ft.
The majority of sidewalk impro~ements will
take place incrementally as properties redevelop.
The missing sections of bicycle lanes from De
Anza Boulevard to Stelling Road will be completed
as part of the streetscape project. Funding will be
allocated through the Capital Improvements Pro-
gram. The estimated cost is $5,000.
The development intensification of the major
areas may wan-ant additional signalization of Ste-
vens Creek. Boulevard. Funding will be allocated
in the 5-year Capital Improvement Program or paid
for by the development community as Heart of the
City development proceeds.
Water, Sewer, Storm Drainage, Solid Waste
Disposal Facilities and Energy Facilities.
No expansion of these facilities is contemplated
as a result of Heart of the City development activ-
ity.

Regulatory Framework
The Heart of the City Specific Plan is both a
policy and regulatory document. The goals, policies
and strategies provide the rationale for the devel-
opment standards and land use map. The Heart of
the City Specific Plan is a regulatory document in
that its land use map and development standards
will be incorporated into a new planned develop-
ment zoning for the property within its boundary.
The Plan is also a policy document by virtue of the
guidance it provides in allocating future develop-
ment in the planning area and in establishing com-
munity expectations of the design and quality of
new development.
The Heart of the City Specific Plan was pre-
pared as a means to implement the City's 1993
General Plan and the 2005 General Plan. As such
the specific plan executes the major general plan
goal of creating a Heart of the City - a memorable,
pedestrian-inclusive place for Cupertino.
Once the Specific Plan is adopted, all future
rezoning, tentative subdivision maps and public
works projects must be consistent with the specific
plan as required by state law.
In the event, that any regulation, condition,
program or portion of this Specific Plan is held in-
valid or unconstitutional by a California or Federal
court of competent jurisdiction, such portions shall
be deemed separate, distinct and independent pro-
visions, and the invalidity of such provisions shall
not affect the validity of the remaining provision
thereof.

Construction Costs
Recommended materials and preliminary construction cost estimates for Stevens Creek Boulevard
streets cape improvements are listed below. Quantities are approximate and are likely to vary. Improve-
ments are proposed to be phased over the term of the Specific Plan, with street trees the first priority.
Trees are assumed to be 24" box size. Estimated costs for single-row / double-row frontage street tree
arrangements are provided; both options include matching trees in existing medians. Cost figures for 36"
box size trees are not itemized but would add about an extra $200 per tree installed. Existing "cobrahead"
street lights would remain; however new, pedestrian-scale street lights would be installed in between them
to light sidewalk areas.

Il1.troduction
Overview
The Heart of the City Specific Plan provides specific development guidance for one of
the most important commercial corridors ill the City of Cupertino. The purpose of the
specific plan is to guide the future development and redevelopmellt of the~-I
apDroxin1atel\7 ::52 250 acre StevellS Creek Boulevard Corridor in a manner that creates
a greater sense of place and community identity in Cupertino. The overall goal is to

To achieve this goal, the Specific Plan intends to guide future investment and
development in the area by:
1) Providing a clearly defined plan for the ultensificatioll of certain subareas alld
the arrangement of land uses to concentrate activity;
2) Developing detailed development sta1ldards and architectural guidelines to
inform builders alld the public about the c-ommullity's expectatioIls for quality
developnlellt; alld
3) Committing public investment alld establishulg ad~itional financing to fund
public ilnprovemellts that will enhance community idelltity and unit~)T along
StevellS Creek Boulevard.
The Plall does not i::::c:~d :0 force the relocatioll Qf businesses; such decisions ~!,-ill ~c
c:ic:J.:cd lc~,- Fc:-.::o:-::.l ~c~:::c:~ c:- are detern1ll1ed bv market conditiollS, rather, the land
use regulations and design guidelines are ill place to guide future development alld
renovation of existing businesses.. As such private developmellt will probably occur
incremelltally, but directed toward a common visioll.

Streetscape Design
Background and Purpose
The Streetscape Element of the Specific Plan implements commm:tity design goals
/' contained in the 1993 General Pl~1 ~~-:~ design concepts subsequently developed and
revised in the 1993 "Heart of the City" Design Charette,. aJ.1d. anv l1e,,\i policies and
concepts identified in the 2003 General Plail.. The general streetscape concept endorsed
at the Charette was named "Parkurbia." It promotes a "green'! city, acknowledges
Cupertino's agricultural past, and has linking the street's major activity centers with a
COlltinUOUS landscaped parkway as a principal objective.
The Streetscape Element complements the Specific Plan's Land Use Element by
reflecting ,the corridor's different land use concentrations and designations. Design
approaches vary to accommodate land uses. Options for implementation depend to a
significant extent oil. the type of existing development immediately adjacent to the street
righFof-way. Streetscape policies also reflect the setback, frontage improvements, and
landscape and signage requirements established ill. the Plan's Development Standards
and Design Guidelines. Together, these three Plan Elements combine to promote an
attractive, mixed-use boulevard, consistent with the goals of the General Plall_"
Streetscape improvement policies apply to both public and private sector actions in the
Specific Plan Area. For example, large-scale improvements within the existing right-of-
way, such as street trees and street lighting, may be best implemented by the City with
future reimbursement by private property owners \-\Then redevelopment occurs;'
construction' can be more efficient a~d the appearance of the improvements more
consistent. Improvements to private property adjacent to the right-of-way would need
to be coordinated with the City, but.could be implemented as p.art of privately-financed

leu::; :l-:el:e:-::;. However, the primary purpose of the Streetscape ElelTIent is to define the
improvements needed to fulfill the City's vision for the Stevens Creek Boulevard
corridor. It allows for flexibility irl terms of ph.asing, finall_cing, and desigI1
lTIodification.s in order to address tb.e needs of tl'le City and Specific Plan Area property
owners al'ld businesses.
Streetscape Design Principles
Tb_e Streetscape Element has fu.ttrfi,-e Ul'lderlyul.g principles:
1) Unify the Visual Appearance of the Street with Orchard/Grove Street Trees
Plall.tU'lgs, a COIlsistellt Palette of Furnishings, and Civic Landmarks"
2) Improve the Pedestrian Environment Along the Street Frontage with Passive
Rest Areas, Plal'lting Strip~ all.d Bufferu'lg Trees alld Shrubs.
3) Allow for Flexibility ill. the Design of Streetscape Improvements to Address
Access and Yisibility Needs of Adjacel'lt COlll.mercial Development.
Page 13 of 5757
1-61
4) Accommodate Options for Implementing Streetscape Improvements: e.g.~ City
Construction, RenovatioI15 of Existing Development, Standards for New
Development.
5) Create a UlUQUe pedestriaJ1 oriel1ted acti\iitv cel1ter at tl1e Crossroads.

A continuous curbside planting strip and a continuous row of street trees would exte11d
alon.g the entire corridor. However, each subarea would feature a different tree species.
Tree species are selected to reflect differences U1 the cI1aracter of development in the
subar.eas and/ or the predomina11t types of existing trees and frontage con.ditions.
Streetscape Design policies for each of the subareas are described belo\~T:
West C ::.~....-':,:..~~, 5 te"lJe71.5 Creek Boulez.'ard - The West c:: :c~ \.': :,- Ste\:-el15 Creek Boulevard
subarea extends from .Ro~te 85 to Stelling Road. TIle planting th.erne is all. ItOak Grove.1t
It features an informal planting of Live Oaks (Quercus agrifolia) a11d nati,Te \vild
flowers ill. curbside plantulg strips and the center rnedia11. It is al1ticipated that these
oaks could be plaJ.lted amo11g tI1e existing Deodar cedars at De Anza College without
needu1g, to remove the existing trees. This approach is intended to brmg the landscape
of the adj.acent foothills into the City, as well as tie together the existing character of De
ful.za College, Memorial Park, and .The .Oaks S110}-JpUlg center. Trees should be pla11ted
at approximat~ly 40 feet on center. Decomposed graIute should be used as the surface
material where appropriate.
Crossroads - Refer to t11e Crossroads Streetscape Plal1 for details. T11is subarea exte11ds
from Stel1ll1g Road to De Arlza Boulevard.

frontage Renovation Conditions
A curbside plantu1g strip 10 feet in \Ividth and a side,,yalk a minimum of 6 feet in width
should be established along the e1ltire frontage of. the street. b1 tI1e To-;-~"~"'" Cc:.....:cr Central
Ste'~el1.S Creek. Boule\iard a1ld East C.::c~\-:..y Ste,-el15 Creek Boule\iard subareas, a
planting area 10 reet ll1 width should also be establis11ed behu1d the walk to
acconunodate a $eco11d row of trees. Conditions alo11g the sh-eet vary, hOV\Tever, all.d
implementing the Design Concept in a nniform way will be difficult, at least for the
Ileal" term. Tl1e Frontage Re110.va~io11 Conditions pla11s 011 the following page illustrate
typical existu1g frontage C011ditio11S arld recommendatio11s for .respoll.du1g to t11em to
implement the Design Concept. Conditions are described below, rrOln least to most
c01lstrau1ed.
1) Wide Landscape Easelnent Iuith Planting Strip - This c011.dition is the model for the rest
of t11e street. It contains a 10 reet' pla11tu1g strip a11d a 10 root lall.dscape easeme11t
adjacent to tl1.e sidew'alk. It reflects City requirements for frontage laIldscapu1g that
11ave been in place ror the p,ast twelve years and as suc11 c11aracterizes most or t11e
ll.ew developme11t along tI1e street. Existing trees ill. tI1ese areas, l1.oV\Tever, rarely
form consistent rows along the street. Additional trees sI10uld be added to create a
double ro,,y of trees at a spacing consistent vvith the streetscap~ desigI1. Existu1g trees
of tI1.e recommended tree species s110uld not be remo\Ted if spaced closer than the
streetscape desigr1. Over the long term vlhe11 redevelopme11t or properties occurs,

Page 15 of 57~
the wide landscape easement with planting strip V\Till be implemented on all TOWIl
Center and East Gate\vay frontage properties.
2)' Curbside V\Talk with Landscape Easelnent - A curbside planting strip up to 10 feet ill
width and a double row of trees can be established under this conditioll. However,
because the width of tIle easement area varies, the second rovv of trees may need to
. be offs~t from the first row; see ill::s::ratio:...... '
3) Wide Curbside Walk without Landscape Ease7nent - In this condition the entire curbside
. rigIlt-of-way is paved as a sidewalk. Levels of pedestrian activity along the street
generally don't demand a walk this wide, and a curbside planting 'strip
approximately 6 feet wide should be established by removing the curbside portion
of the walk. - .
4) Curbside Walk without Landscape Ease7nent - As illustrated, a monolithic curb, gutter
and sidewalk exists witIl a relatively narrow planting area between the sidevvalk alld
adjacent buildings and/ or parkillg areas. There is no lculdscape easement adjacent to
the right-of-way, and there is only 10 feet vvithin the right-of-way. To implement the
Streetscape Concept Ullder these conditions tIle location. of the 'walk an.d plap.ting
area needs to be reversed. A 5 feet curbside planting strip and a 5 feet sidewalk
sb.ould be established within the right-of-way. Tree? sllould be located III adjacent
parkulg lots as feasible to establish. a double rOV\T.

Development Standards and Design Guidelines
Background
The Development Standards and Design Guidelines contained in this Element provide
regulatory support for the Specific Plan's land use policies. They are intended to
promote higll-quality private-sector development, enhance property values, and enEur~
that both private lll.Vestment and public activity continues to be attracted to the Stevens
Creek Boulevard corridor.
The Stalldards and Guideline? reflect tIle Community Design Goals of tIle 1993 General
Plan, the "Parkurbia" streetscape concept tIlat emerged from the 1993 "Heart of the City"
design chare~te, :.:-:::: the implementing streetscape improvement policies contained in
the Specific Plall.'S Streetscape Element, alld all~7 Ile,v policies and COllceots identified in
tIle 2003 Gel1eral Plan.
As noted throughout the Specific Plan, tIle "Parkurbia'l concept promotes a "green" city,
ackr!-owledges Cupertlllo's agricultural past, and en"visions Stevens Creek Boulevard as
a lalldscaped parkway IUlking major Cell.ters of cultural, office, and retail use. However,
Ste"vens Creek Boulevard must also accommodate a variety of developmellt types
outside of the activitv Ilodes aroU1ld illtersectiollS:;~:Cc ::-:J.ic: '::::"I:,-:~:,- cc:.....:c:s, aJ.ld a
central objective of the Standards and Guidelines is to accolnffiodate this variety within
th.e overall parameters of tIle llParkurbia" cOllcept.
The Mixed-Use Parkway
The unage of Cupertino is most on display along Stevens Creek Boulevard. The corridor
is the central element of Cupertino's "public realm," vvIlere much of its public life occurs.
. Yet the corridor's hodge-podge appearance contributes little to the overall character of
tIle commwuty aIld is at odds with the orderly sub-urban character of its
neighborll.oods and business parks. Land uses, building forms, artd landscapul.g vary
from one property to the next. L.o;o li.ke /J'Buildlllg as a sign" comm.ercial buildings,

Participants in tIle General Plan process and the Heart of the City Design" Charette III
1993 identified this lack of collerellce as particularly Ulldesirable, alld identified a
"parkway" design approach asa means of both bru1ging visual order to the street and
reflecti1lg the physical cllaracteristics of the rest or tIle community.
The goals of the StaJ.1dards and Guidelines are therefore:

pedestrian activity, yet maint0-in tb.e visibility all.d access needed for successful
commercial retail businesses. .
2) Promote visual compatibility betvveen commercial, office, and residential
development.
3) Allo\v commercial, office and residential development flexibility to meet
different needs in terms of building form and site all.d frontage orientation.
The manner ill which the Standards all.d Guidelines address these goals is summarized
below:
Visibility: The Standards and Guidelines implement the park\vay fr,?ntage concept
established in the Streetscape Element of the Specific Plan. They reqUire that all ll.eW
development provide a frontage landscape easement that extends tvventy six feet back
from the curb. The easement will accommodate' a curbside planting strip, sidewalk, and
either a single row or double row of street trees.
However, visibility of development from the roadway is important for most types of
de\Telopment. Because businesses m~rket goods and services directly to motorists, it is
essential for commercial retail developlnell.t. The Standards and Guidelines therefore
contain the following provisions to maintain visibility:

for lll.stallul.g trees witll. canopies 11.igll. enougll. to allow visibility of adjace11t properties.
COlnpatibility: TIl.e Standards and guidelines do not require a particular arcIlitectural
style or styles. However they do encourage a COlll.ffiOll. approach i1~ terms of
arcIlitectural features. For example, all buildi1l.g~ are required to Il.ave a maUL building
entrall.Ce visible from the street frOll.tage, and. all buildi11gs are ellcouraged to have an
arch.itectural base, a consistell.t arrangemell.t of buildill.g Inasses, and an attractive roof
or rooflill.e..
In addition to tll.e COll.siste11t park\vay frontage, elements of agricultural l~dscaping
and pedestrian scale cll.aracter - "orchard" tree plantings, l"'.cc:oc~, trellises and arbors,
a11d pedestriall-11eight light fixtures - are emphasized. Clearly-defined walking paths
cOlul.ecting public sidewalks, prominell.t buildul.g entries, courtyards, and parking areas
are required. Properties are buffered along ::;:dc .:::~d rear lot lines by fences all.d/ or
\valls and evenly-spaced "Will.d ro\v" tree plantill.gs.

Flexibility: Different forms of development typically exhibit different on-site
relationships between buildings, parking, street frontages, and landscaped areas:
Maximum visibility, minimallandscapulg, and a frolltal relationship of buildings to the
street frontage is typically preferred f9r commercial development. Some amoUnt of
visibility comb'ined ,,\lith attrac~ive landscapulg is preferred for office buildings, \vith
tIle relationship of buildulgs to street frontages \Taryulg from site to site. Dense
screening and landscapin.g is preferred for residential q.evelopment, with buildings
often oriented away fro~ street frontages.
The Starldards and Guidelines encourage buildings to be located .in relatively close
proximity to the f~ontage to increase visibility, and architectural and site imp~ovemellt
provisioIlS ellcourage compatibility III terms of the general appeararlce oJ development,
as noted. above. However, on-site relationships may vary from development type to
development type Cc................C-,....~.....l 1.......-~'~.:.....~f"" .............,.- 1.......,.-~ p........l......:.....r- 1~J..~ ........J..:.....,...;..,..........1.. .1..0 .1..l...C

Using f~e Standards and Guidelines
Development Standards address those aspects of de'velopment tIlat are es~ential to
achieve .the goals of the Specific Plan. They are specifications for site development aIld
building d~sign, such as permitted land uses, buildulg height, and setbacks. Standards
must be adhered to'and typically employ.the "vord "shall."
DesigTl Guidelines, on the other hand, p~ovide guidallce for new development in terms
of more subjective considerations, sucll. as district character or design details. They also
serve as criteria for desigrl review by City staff aIld tIle Plaml.ing Commission.
Guidelines typically employ th~ word "should." Variations are permitted if they will
substantially aid in. meetulg the o\Terall prmciples and objectives of the Specific Plall.

Exception Process for Development Standards
In order to provide design flexibility in situations when small lot size, unusually shaped
parcels, or unique surrounding laI}d uses make it difficult to adhere to the development
standards and where all efforts to meet the standards have been exhausted, an
applicant for development may file an exception request to seek approval to deviate
from the standards. The possibility of lot consolidation, if an exception is needed for a
substandard parcel, shall be evaluated. The exception process shall not be used to
increase land use intensity or change permitted land uses.
A. An exception for development standards can be approved if the final approval
authority for a project makes all of the following findings:
1. The proposed development is otherwise consistent with the City's General Plan
and with the goals of this specific plan and meets one or more of the criteria
described above.
2. The proposed development will not be injurious to property or improvements in
the area nor be detrimental to the public health and safety.
3. The proposed development will not create a hazardous condition for pedestrian
or vehicular traffic.
4. The proposed development has legal access to public streets and public services
are available to serve the development.
5. The proposed development requires an exception which involves the least
modification of, or deviation from, the development regulations prescribed in
this chapter necessary to accomplish a reasonable use of the parcel.
B. An application for exception must be submitted on a form as prescribed by the
Director of Community Development. The application shall be accompanied by a fee
prescribed by City COUl1cil resolution, no part of which shall be reM1dable, to the
applicant. Upon receipt of an application for an exception, the Director shall issue a
Notice of Public Hearing before the Planning Commission for an exception under
this chapter in the same manner as provided in section 19.120.060 (relating to zoning
changes). After a public hearing, and consideration of the application in conjunction
with the mandatory findings contained in subsection A above, the Plamling
Commission shall approve, conditionally approve or deny the application for an
exception. The decision of the Planning Commission may be appealed to the City
Council as provided in Section 19.136.060. '
C. Al1 exception which has not been used within two years following the effective date
thereof, shall become null and void and of no effect unless a shorter time period
shall speCifically be prescribed by the conditions of such permit or variance. i\n
exception permit shall be deemed to have been used in the event of the erection of a
structure or structures when sufficient building activity has occurred and continues
to occur in a diligent manner.

Design Guidelines
Com.n-:crci~l RctJ.il Dc\~clopill.cn t CuidclhLcs
2.01.010 Descriptio.n
The Design Guidelu1es promote buildings that assume some of t11e communication
fw1ctions of signs. Through tb.eir overall forn1 a11d app~arance b"uildings should
communicate mor~ than just a business name to a motorist who is shopping by car -
how many businesses are there? where to park? where to enter the b.uildu1g?
A llbuildu1g as sign" is taller than a typical one-story buil9.ing, with a distinctive
silhouette. It is located in close proximity to the street frontage. The driveway and main
building entrarlce is identified by a taller architectural form, "\vhich is an excellent
location for mounting a SigI1 visible from a car.
A. Building Increment - Long facades should be divideq into sl10rter segments
or modules. Modules along the Stevens Creek Boulevard frontage are
recommended to be twenty-five (25) feet long a11d a maximum of fifty (50)
feet long, and should be separated by lnajor changes in the building mass or
facade treatment, such as a projected entrance or ,vindow volume(s), 11otch,
roof form, or other architectural feature. III SOllle cases, tllese 1110dules l11av be
separated bv \TarVlllg tile color of llldividual TIlodules \vithin a 11ar11lonious
palette of colors.
B.D Special Architectural Features - s110uld accent buildings at the main buildu1g
entrance, adjacent to entrance drives, and/ or at building comers. .L-\. diagol1al
"cut" at a COIner, or a llotcll for a gralld buildlllg elltr\T. call also be effectiy'e.
Features tllat relie\;-e tlabless of facades, such as recessed \vuldo\,;"s,
arch.itectural trml \vith substaIltial deptI1 alld detaiL bav \\illldo\,\7s, \,\illldo\v
boxes, dorl11ers, ellmT Dorcl1es. etc., are recollllnellded. Balcolues, trellises aIld
porches are also recolllinellded to add 11Ull1all scale elel11el1ts to projects.
c. Massing - the overall form of a quality buildlllg is created bv its three-
dimertsional ~haracteristics, or lllaSSll1,g. Differellt combulations of buildll1g
l11ass sllould 'be used to compose a buildulg-. Buildulg TIlaSSeS 111av be
slllguJar, like a taIlor projectlllg mass'located Ul the cellter to 11lark a ,111alll

GeE. Facade Composition - Every building and/ or individual tenant space
. should have a base; a clear pattern of ope11ings and surface features; a
prominent main entrance; and an attractive, visually interesting roofline. The
building should convey quality materials.
1. Building Base - This may be as simple as a visual thickening of the wall
where the buildu1g touches the groill1d, a different surface material
and/ or wall color, or a different design treatment for the ground floor in
a two-story building facade.
2. Patter11 of Openings and Surface Features - Windovvs, wall pa11els,
pilasters, building bays, and storefronts should be based on a module
derived from tb.e building's structural bay spacll1g. F2:::-::~2':; ~::'~2ci C~ :l-:.:.:;

,speciallal1dscape materials that add ch.aracter to yard spaces aJ1d/ or
acce11t tl1e entrv sequeI1ce.,
4. Rooflines - should be simple, changing shape to reflect important
building masses, t~nants be- lovv, and/ or other important internal
building functions.
I}.F. Windows '- are an important element of facade composi'tion an.d. an I
iridicator of over all building quality:
1. Windov\T /Wall Proportion - In general, upper stories should have a
window-to-wall area proportion that is smaller than tll.at of ground floor
storefronts.
2. Window Openings - should generally be vertical or square in shape.
Horizontally-oriented opell.in.gs gen.erally make buildings appear squat
and massive.
3. Window Inset - Glass should be inset a minimum of 3ft from the \vindow
frame or from the exterior \vall surface to add relief to buildu1g surfaces;
this is especially ilnportant for stucco buildin.gs.
4. Shaped Frames and Sills - should be used to ermance openings a11d add
relief to V\Tall surfaces.
G. \^/ all Surfaces - If tIle building Inass aJ1d \7arietv of ,vi11dov\~s aJ1d doors is
cOlTIPlex, simple ,vall surfaces ma~7 be preferable (e.g. stucco); if tl1e building
\-olun1e aIld t11e patter11 of ,vall open.iI1~s is sll11ple, additional ,vall texture
aIld articulatioI1' sllould be en1ploved (e. g. ,bricks or bl?cks, or rusticated
stucco). Pilasters, columI15, cornices, aI1d other for111s of surface relief s110uld
be used to add \i'isual ll1terest aJ1d scale.
g.H. Roofs - Parapets and/or shallo\v gable, hip, or other t\vo-slope roofs are
recommellded for all buildiIl.gs:. (:;22 :ll::~::-::::'\-C P:-C:C7J?CS):
1.' Roof Slopes - s110uld be betvveen 3:12 all.d 6:12.

~2. Roof Ridges - should be all811ed to be parallel and/ or perpendicular to
the street frontage.
4-:3. Roof Overhangs - are stro11gly recolrune11ded. O\Terh.all.gs sh.ould be a ,I
mUlilTIUm of three (3) feet, with additional' articulation in tb.e form of

1. Sign Location - Signs should be mounted on parapets, towers, turrets,
rece$sed wall areas, and/ or other architectural features specifically
designed for them. Flush-m"ounted and pairlted wall signs should align
with major arch.itectural elements, such as doors and Wllldo"\.vs.
Ornamelltal elemel1ts, such as moldirlgs, pilasters, arches, clerestolY
windows, roof eaves, or cornice lines should be used as a frame..

A. Pedestrian Pathways - Informal pedestrian pathways linking adjacent.
properties and buildul.gs are recommended. These pathways are inte1l.ded to
form a network separate from the public right-of-way. A variety of
approaches are possible and the City will review linkage opportnnities and
proposals 011 a case-by-case basis.
'B. Paving Materials - recommended for pedestria11 s~rfaces are listed below. In
ge1l.eral, a maximum of tvvo materials should be combined in a single
application:
1. Stone - such as slate or granite.
2. Brick pavers.
3. C01l.Crete Ull.it pa\Ters.
4. Poured-in-place concrete - witl1 a1l.Y of the following treatments: integral
pig1ne11t color; special aggregate; special scoru1g pattern; Or11alnell.tal
i11sets, SllC11 as tile; patter11 stall1ped. All COll.Crete walks should be tU1ted
to reduce glare.
c. Walls, Fences, Hedges, Gateways And Piers - s110uld be used to defu1e
public a11d private boundaries all.d/ or space~ and screell parking areas.
1. . Desigll - \t\Talls, fences, gate'\vays and piers should be designed to reflect
the arcl1itectural style and materials of the prulcipal building(s).

l:r:-a.A combination of thick and thin structural elements - should be used,
witl1 thicker elements for supports and/ or panel divisions.
Fenceposts a!ld/ or support columns may be built up with additional
trim, cornices, and/ or moldings for this purpose.
e-:-b. Walls and piers - should have a base and coping.
.' fr-C. Piers - A row of freestal1ding piers can be effective as an open screen.
between parki11g areas and streets or walks. A continuous chau1 or
open metal fence between piers can be an attractive device for
creating a stronger separatiol1.

principal buildu1g(s). Support post or pier materials. may differ froln
feI1ce materials; e.g.. metal fence panels combined with n1asonry piers.
a. Fences - RecommeI1ded materials are yvrought iron, cast iron, and
welded steel for commercial applications. Metal fences may be
mounted 011 a low masonry wall, and/ or spanning masonry piers.
Wood fences are appropriate U1 residential Plan Areas only. They
s110uld be substantial in design and pau1ted a light color.
b. Walls and piers - reCOInll1ended materials are precast concrete stucco-'
faced cOI1crete, brick, or stol1e.
c. Not recommended:
(i) Chain link fences.
(ii) Unfinished or unsurfaced COI1crete block \valls - are slroI1gly
discouraged. Block "\'\Talls s110uld be coated with cement stucco or
similar surface. Split-face block walls 1nay be appropriate ~1011g
side or rear property lU1es only.
(iii) Rustic wood fences
Do Plant Material~ And Landscape Treatments - Used on properties adjacent to
the right-af-way should reflect the follo\ving guidelu1es:
1. Plant Materials Along Ste"verls Creek Boulevard - should_ create' an
attractive and l1armonious character, in keeping with the orchard/ grove
streetscape theme.
Page 47 of 575:

a. Trees with open branching structures' ~ should be used. Deciduous
trees are recomm.ended.
b. Planting/landscaped areas - should have a simple palette of -plant
specIes.
c. Comple.x planting schemes - should not be used in front yard areas.

2. PlaTl.t Materials' in Other Locations - should be selected and placed to
reflect both ornamel1tal and. functional characteristics.
a. Deciduous trees - sl10uld be the predomll1ant large plant material
used. They should be located adjacent to buildings and within
parking areas to provide shade ill summer and allo'''T sun in winter.
Species s110uld be selected to provide fall color, and to minimize litter
and other maintenance problems.
b. Evergreen sh.rubs and trees - should be used as a sc~eening device
along rear property lines (not directly adjacent to residences), around
mechanical appurtenal1ces, aJ1d to obscure grillwor:k and fencing
associated vvit11 subsurface parkin.g garages.
c. Flovveru1g shrubs and trees - should be used where they can be most
appreciated, adjace11t to vv:a1ks a11d recreational areas, or as a frame
for building entral1ces, stairs, and walks.

Infrastructure Plan
Background
State law requires that all specific plaIls lll.clude text describing the distribution, location
and intensity of major compoll.ents of infrastructur~ needed to support the proposed
land use and development in the specific planning area. Th~ level of private and public
improvement and de~velopment as c011templated ill. tIl.e Heart of the City Specific Plan
will not warrant any major expansiol!- of the City's infrastructure. The major.
components' of this specific plan involve:
. Streetscape improvements, primarily landscaping, which do not requIre.
purchase of property or 11arrowing of existulg streets.
. Allocation of development potential, which was previously demoll.strated in the
General Plan environmelltal impact report to be within the capacities of existD:g
services and infrastructure.
. Guidance of architectural desigrl. of future developmellt wllich will not require
expall.sion of infrastructure.
Transportation
The Heart of the City Specific Plan envi'sion.5 a multimodal transportatioll corridor for
Stevens Creek Boulevard. As such the plan proposes the eV~lltual completion of all
sidewC:llk improvements along tIle boulevard such tllat the sidevvalk will be separated
from the street by a buffering easement of trees aIld other landscaping. The amount of
sidewalk improvements that V\Till need to be made are as follows:
Reconstructioll. of monolithic sidewalk: 11,0007,250 ft.
COll.struction of ne\"T' sidewalk: -&3G-150 ft.
The majority of side~alk improvements will take place incrementally as properties
rede'velo.p.
TIle nlissing sections of bicycle lanes from De Anza Boulevard to Stelling Road will be
cOlnpleted. as part of tIle streetscape project. FWldlllg vvill be allocated through the
Capital IlnprO\Tements Program. TIle estimated cost is $5,000.
TIle development iIl.tensification of tIle :.cti'\-i:y.. cc:.....-:c:--::; Inajor areas may \Varrallt
addi.tiollal signalization of Stevens Creek. Boulevard. Fundulg \vill be allocated' ill th.e 5-
year Capital Inlprovemellt Program or paid for by the developmell.t community as
I-Ieart of tIle City developmellt proceeds.
Waterl Sewer, Storm Dra_inage, Solid Waste Disposal F~cilities and Energy
Facilities.
No expa11Sioll. of tllese facilities 1S c01ltemplated as a result of Heart or the City
development activity.

Illlplementation
Regulatory Framework
The Heart of the City Specific Plan is both a policy and regulatory documen"t~ The goals,
policies and strategies provide the ratio~ale for the development standards and land
use map. The Heart of the City Specific Plan is a regulatory document ill that its land
use map and "dev.elopment standards will be incorporated into a new planned
development zoning for the property within its boundary. TIle Plan ~s "also a policy
document by virtue of the guidance it provides III allocating future "development in the
plaruml.g area an.d in establishing community expectations of tIle desigil. and quality of
ne'\t\T development.
The Heart of the City Specific Plan vvas prepared as a means to implement the City1s
1993 General Plan alld tlle 2005 General Plall':':; :-c~-:':'cj. As SUCll the specific plan
executes tIle major gell.eral plall goal of creating a Heart of the c:~,- Citv - a memorable,
pedestrian-i1lclusive place for Cupertino.
Once the Specific Plan is adopted, all future rezoning, tentative subdivision maps and
public works projects must be consistent yvith the specific pl,?-n as required by state law.
I1l the evellt, that any regulation, conditioll., program or portion. of this Specific Plan is
held lll.valid or unconstitutional by a California or Federal court of competent
jurisdiction, such p.ortions shall be deemed separate, distinct and independellt
pro\lisions, and the inva~idity of such provisions shall 110t affect the validity of the
remainiIl.g provisioll. thereof.
Streetscape Improvements
Background
Appen.dix A depicts the various estimated costs to lll.stall tll.e proposed"Heart of the City
Sh"eetscape improvements. The ilnprOVemell.ts will be phased over time and geography
as monies becoine available to implement the streetscape ilnprO\Tements in its totality. It
\t\Till take a cOllcerted public and private effort before all the streetscape imprO\lemellts
al1d its ultimate public benefit call be achie"ve. The proposed 5-year capital
inl.prOVemell.t progra~ allocates $1.5 millioll. for Heart of tIle City streetscape
imprOVemell.ts.

. The applicant agreed to a five year duration for the second phase.
. All Commissioners concurred with the 5 year period.
Motion:
Motion by Com. Brophy, second by Com. Kaneda, to recommend approval of use
permit U-2007-04, architectural and site approval ASA-2007-06, EA-2007-06,
EXC-2008-07, TM-2007-09, TR-2008-02 as amended tonight. (Vote: 5-0-0)
The application will be forwarded to the City Council on June 17, 2008.
Chair Miller declared a recess.
3. Heart of the City Specific Plan amendments to achieve conformance with the General
Plan Tentative City Council date: June 17, 2008
Steve Piasecki:
. Provided directions to the Planning Commission to receive the report, inform staff if the
Commission agrees with the general direction they are taking so staff can go back and draft it
based on the general direction.
Piu Ghosh, Assistant Planner, presented the staff report:
. Said that the Heart of the City Specific Plan update was approved with the 2008 City Council
work program in February 2008. The updates are due to three reasons:
1) The policies of the General Plan are in direct conflict with the Specific Plan.
2) Vagueness and repetition of the same concepts making the document difficult to read.
3) Prescriptive requirements that try to fit one set of requirements for all types of parcels.
. She reviewed the recommended changes in the draft Heart of the City Specific Plan as outlined
in the staff report and answered Commissioner's questions about the update.
. Staff is seeking Planning Commission comments to incorporate them into the final document
that the Planning Commission will recommend to the City Council in July 2008.
Vice Chair Giefer:
. Said it would be helpful for the next meeting for staff to bring examples of what did work, and
worked well, vs. what did not. The last slide you showed us of the Travina; that one has never
looked consistent with what I think of the Heart of the City streetscaping, and I think it is
because it doesn't have a double row planted trees and the sidewalk seems to be narrower.
. I hear what you are saying with the side setbacks, I think that makes sense; but in practicality,
and as we flush this out, obviously we need to think about getting onto the site and off the site,
garbage pickup. We need to think about how that whole boulevard is going to work as well.
Street furniture; I don't think bike racks are included in that; but 1 have seen some really nice
bike racks and a lot more people are bicycling now. \Ve need to think about how to
incorporate more bike and ped traffic as part of this as well.
Com. Brophy:
. Nothing to add.
Com. Kaneda:
. Said he had conversations with staff about what they are trying to accomplish, but he still did
not fully understand the three different areas; what is different about what you are trying to do
there; how far along you are; and how well it is working, and those types of issues. He
1-106
Cupertino Planning Corrumssion

June 10, 2008
reiterated that he did not have a good enough understanding of how all these pIeces fit
together.
Com. Rose:
. Said she appreciated Com. Kaneda's comment, and felt Vice Chair Giefer brought up some
good points as weU.
Chair Miller:
· Said his understanding was that they were focusing on inconsistencies between the General
Plan and the Specific Plan, vagueness and repetition of some of the concepts, prescriptive
requirements that try to generalize from one example to the many, and not really addressing
conceptual issues at aU here. It is a fairly prescriptive exercise. The only comment I would
add is if you take out the requirement for the side setbacks, everybody is going to ask what is
the requirement for the side setbacks. Perhaps there needs to be some language with respect to
side setbacks there.
. There is a setback requirement and they are going to have to get an exception or variance in
order to change it, but perhaps there is some language that says we are amenable to exceptions
for the following reasons and elaborate so that people understand. Put it in writing and try to
clarify it, rather than not have it in writing and have everyone call asking questions.
Steve Piasecki:
. Said it has been one of the most problematic areas and it doesn't seem to further the public
objectives; there is no debate about having a front setback and no debate about how you treat
the rear property lines adjoining residential. Offset buildings, set them back, screen them; but
when we get into the side setback issues as staff indicated, if you get into less than 100 foot
depth and you have two 20-foot setbacks, you have a 60 foot skinny building and you apply
for an exception, and we have had a lot of resistance to the word "exception" let alone the
concept of exception. We think that when it was put into the Plan, it was just as you
suggested, that it was just a mechanism to allow you to focus on what is the right thing to do in
this Plliiicular property; but it hasn't been the experience at all. My suggestion is if we put in
some kind of language about setbacks, it needs to be respectful of the neighbors, it should
provide for the utilitarian value of the property in terms of trash llild garbage. Otherwise you
may have zero side setbacks and that may be the most appropriate location on site.
. Would rather look at it on a case-by-case basis, have some language about the consistency
between buildings, and then just get rid of it entirely. It does not make sense to have a
prescriptive requirement of any kind.
Chair Miller:
o Is there cun'ently a prescriptive requirement or not?
Steve Piasecki:
. Yes, the people .are informed about it, and then they ask for an exception.
Chair Miller:
. Said that an applicant he would look at everything and try to evaluate what he could do, what
it will cost, and what is the revenue stream from it. I have to know what to expect with the
side setbacks or else I cannot complete my analysis. If you don't put it in the text and I cannot
get an idea from the text, I am going to call you.

Steve Piasecki:
. That is what happens in other areas of town as well. North DeAnza Boulevard does not have a
side setback requirement and it's a specific plan as well. I don't think that it should be; it is
something you don't need to prescribe; it is something; we will sit down with the applicant and
say let's analyze this in relationship to its neighbors; what makes good common sense. If you
don't have it, then you are not required to do 20 feet or 10; you are going to do what is the
right solution for that site. We do that in a lot of other areas; I don't see why we can't do it in
this area as well.
. Said he was willing to devote staff time because the end result is a better product.
Com. Brophy:
. I think he is saying also that he has no choice; whether you had the prescriptive setbacks or
not, staff still has to do it when you have these odd shaped properties.
Chair Miller:
. Perhaps the task could be setbacks, talk about it just that way; setbacks are always an issue
with tight lots; staff is willing to talk to you about the details about that; stating the reasons
they have given flexibility to setbacks, and listing them.
Steve Piasecki:
. Said he had no problem with that; this isn't a single family home where things are fairly
standardized.
Com. Kaneda:
. Is this an issue related to tight sites only, or if you have a generous site then can you get
prescriptive about it.
Steve Piasecki:
. Yes, if you said sites greater than 200 feet have a requirement for 20 foot setbacks; we could
figure it out. As an example, in theory if the Marketplace built up to the property years ago
and United Furniture wanted to do the same; you might say this is the best solution we could
have two side by side buildings, close together; we are not wasting space. In this case, I don't
see a major public objective in prescribing side setbacks; I do in the front and I do in the rear.
I am saying just take it out, let's not be prescriptive, let's have some general language about
relationships and buildings and good contextual design and let's work with that.
Chair Miller opened the public hearing.
Jennifer Griffin, Rancho Rinconada resident:
. Refened to a narrow lot near her residence that was owned by Barry Swenson, next to the
Roasted Coffee Beans, Subway, Affordable Housing Units and an empty lot leased out to
trucks. She said there is high density development on the left of the lot, whiCh has apartments,
and the neighbors are sensitive about high density in the area. When the property is developed
there will need to be adequate buffer side setbacks, back setbacks, and front setbacks. She said
the consensus of the neighborhood is not to over-build on that lot.
. She asked that. they make sure that the public right of way along Stevens Creek Boulevard
particularly in the eastern area, between Tantau and Finch, is left in tact as a greenbelt with
double rows of Ash trees.
. This area has the potential to have wonderful public right of way and we want to make sure
that there is little or no business encroachment into the public right of way. We had some
1-108

instances with the previous Toll Brothers plans, where they were asking to put parking with
the spaces, etc. into the public right of way.
· I hope that as a General Plan all the way down Stevens Creek Boulevard that we will retain the
public right of way for people to have sidewalks and double rows of Ash trees at the eastern
end of town.
· I hope there will be every effort made to make sure that we do have our greenbelts along
Stevens Creek Boulevard all the way to the eastern end. I am not a big fan of onsite parking
on Stevens Creek Boulevard at the eastern end of town.
Chair Miller closed the public hearing.
OLD BUSINESS: None
NEW BUSINESS:
4. Discuss the Planning Corrunission's summer meeting schedule.
· Discussion was tabled to the next meeting.
REPORT OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION:
Environmental Review Corrunittee: No meeting.
Housin2 Corrunission:
· Steve Piasecki will look into the possibility of having a joint meeting in July to discuss the
housing element.
Mavor's MontWv Meetin2 With Corrunissioners: No meeting.
Economic Development Corrunittee Meeting: No meeting.
Report of the Director of Community Development: No additional report.
Misc:
· Com. Rose suggested that noticing of projects be expanded to include the entire city, so that all
residents would be informed of the projects and the public hearings. Steve Piasecki explained
Cupertino already notices residents/home owners outside of the mandated parameters.
Suggestions for changes can be forwarded to the City Council for their consideration. He
noted that the cost for expanded noticing is absorbed by the applicant.

SP A-2008-0l Agenda Date: June 10, 2008
City of Cupertino
Stevens Creek Boulevard between Highway 85 and eastern city
Application Summary:
Update the Heart of the City Specific Plan to reflect the changes adopted in the 2005
General Plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Plarming Commission:
a. Review the changes to the Heart of the City Specific Plan and provide staff
with direction and comments
b. Conduct another hearing on the item on July 22, 2008 allowing staff to
lll.corporate the comments of the Planning Commission into the final
document to be forwarded to the City Council.
BACKGROUND: ,
The City Council has requested that the Heart of the City Specific Plan be modified to
reflect the changes made to the 2005 General Plan. They directed that technical revisions
to the Heart of the City plan be made for the PlamLillg COffilll.ission to review and
forward their recommendations to the Council. The rninutes from the meeting are
attached as Exhibit A.
The changes in the draft Heart of the City Specific Plan are due to the following three
reasons:
a. Inconsistencies between the General Plan and the Specific Plan
b. Vagueness and repetitiorl of the same concepts in the document making it
difficult to read
c. Prescriptive requirements that h'y to fit one set of requirements for all types
of parcels
DISCUSSION:
Inconsistencies behot\!een the General Plan and Specific Plan
\1\Tith the adoption of the 2005 General Plan, policies pertaining to the Heart of the City
Specific Plan ,.vithin the General Plan need to be incorporated in to the Specific Plan.
The section of the General Plan related to the- Heart of the City is included as Exhibit B.
There are severc~ll items that need to be changed and updated in the Specific Plan.
On the following page is a list of updates that need to be made:

Heights
Vagueness and repetition of the same concepts in the Specific Plan:
In the frontage renovation section, there are several images that refer to interim and
final conditions of the renovation. However, these illustrations are seldom used and
seem to confuse users. These images have been removed from the Specific Plan. Most
frontage renovations are undertaken when a property redevelops and, typically, most
applicants plant a double row of trees to achieve the final frontage conditions.
There is also significant repetition of the same concepts in the Specific Plan in the design
standards and guidelines section of the Specific Plan. Most of the design standards are
the same across the different types of development. This makes it difficult for users to
read and understand the standards and guidelines. In the draft Specific plan, staff has
elinlinated the duplicated language and tried to simplify the standards and guidelines
in to one section for each rather than grouping the standards and guidelines by type of
development.
For example: front setbacks and height requirements are the same regardless of the type
of development. However, they are in several places in the design standards section of
the current Heart of the City Specific Plan, once for each type of development,
comm.ercial and multi-unit residential. Another example of repetition is that window
treatments, roof form.s and several other guidelines are repeated in three different
sections of the design guidelines section, once for each type of development,
commercial, office and multi-unit residential.
Additionally, with development occurring along Stevens Creek Boulevard over the last
decade or so, some of the references to older sites have changed. For example, the
property that was previously envisioned to be the Orchard Park has been developed as
the Civic Park. The concept of gateways at the eastern and western end of the Heart of
the City is obsolete as is the installation or use of street furniture in the Stevens Creek
Boulevard Planning Area. No private development has been required to install or
provide any street furniture since the adoption of the Heart of the City Specific Plan and
1-111

references to these seems obsolete. Staff has drafted a model ordinance incorporating
proposed amendments to address these simplifications and deleted language.
The following is a table of the changes that have been recommended by staff to make
the Specllic P1an an eaSIer aocument to read.

3. Removing obsolete language:
Should the ideas in the Specific Plan that are Eliminate the language that makes reference to:
obsolete be removed? a. The Civic Park as Orchard Park.
b. Gateways across Stevens Creek Boulevard at
Highway 85 and at the eastem city limits.
c. Street furniture.
Prescriptive Standards that try to fit one set of regulations for all types of parcels:
The Heart of the City Specific Plan. has very rigid side setback standards that make it
hard for narrower and odd shaped lots to develop or redevelop. It is very difficult for
narrow lots to obtain development approval without applying for an exception for side
setbacks. This discourages property owners from developing their property. Staff
recommends that side setback regulations be removed from the Specific Plan document.
These can setbacks can be reviewed in conjunction with the development application
and the design review process. The draft Specific Plan does not include any side
setbacks for properties.
Staff will take Planning Commissions comments and incorporate these in the final
document that the Plamling Commission can recorrunend to the City Council in July
2008.
