Cupertino Planning Commission · Planning Commission on May 26, 2026 - Amended - May 26, 2026 · 26 May 2026 meeting

I do not see the need to amend since the motion does not propose not having multiple vendors So the motion provides staff the discretion to do the right thing in their judgment So the mover rejects your request to amend the motion Commissioner Lin Scott.

looking at fewer like in my mind part of the the amount of time spent is looking at more options so how do you expedite it without looking at as many options it is a motion to encourage staff to consider expeditious solutions as a criteria in their judgment in their professional judgment and i would leave it to the able judgment of director mostly thank you

Chair, I'm not hearing a second.

So accepted.

Does the seconder accept?

Seems like this is a noticing that may already be done by staff.

Is noticing required for any of these projects?

Sorry, Chair.

Did we want to solicit commissioner reports?

Yeah, I was going to ask if we would get maybe this leads into future agenda, but the commissioner report I would want to offer up is I'm getting a lot of concern from residents around the

evacuation study in what actions the city will take on fire evacuation given the concerns around four hours to evacuate some of our high traffic corridors and more projects being proposed in that area so just wanna share the commissioner report from president import that fire evacuation remains top of mind for our residents thank you

Once again, encourage us to bring back no net loss as a subcommittee so that commissioners may contribute to this agenda, because what I'm hearing is the no net loss actually needs to meet the BMR number at the shortfall, and the shortfall may be 300 or above.

So we're talking 300 BMR units, and if we assume 10% are BMR units, then we could be talking approving 3,000 units in Cupertino.

And our original housing element was 4,600 units.

So I just want to encourage us to not just wait on a consultant who doesn't live here, doesn't walk our neighborhoods, doesn't speak to our residents, doesn't know what it means to put 3,000 units in our midst, and instead to encourage us to take up a subcommittee so that those of us who live here and talk to our residents can actually do a proposal from our side on where we think 3,000 units can go.

can actually go because we are not talking 300 units.

We may be talking 3,000 total units of which 10% will meet the no net loss rule.

Thank you.
