Hello, Eric.
I hope this e‐mail finds you well. I address this to you based on the information found on this page: https://www.cupertino.org/our‐city/departments/community‐development/planning/major‐projects/22690scb
This is in regards to the Construction that has been Applied for at 22690 STEVENS CREEK BLVD. in Cupertino, CA 95014.
I've been in this part of Cupertino for over two decades as a resident, practically adjacent to this aforementioned location. I know this area very well.
As a long‐time resident here, I am strongly AGAINST allowing a Residential construction project to be done at 22690 STEVENS CREEK BLVD, the tiny amount of land left in the area for General Commercial use.
If anything, something to replace the old Liquor Store should be allowed in. Some place providing food or other edible supplies.
Not only will a condominium at that location severely impact the already‐restricted traffic at the Stevens Creek and Foothill Blvd intersection (it's terrible already with huge numbers of trucks on that one‐way road), more people will lead to more opportunity for crime. Crime's already seen a rise in the last couple years with the completion of other residential projects. Coincidence? I think not‐‐ I recently had my car broken into for the first time in over TWENTY YEARS here.
How are these Alan Enterprise guys going to make up for the inconveniences their construction will bring? Let them be, and they won't. We residents will be the only ones that have to suffer and put up with everything. This region of Cupertino hardly has cop patrols, let alone security cameras at the intersections. Security is virtually nonexistent.
I know this. I walk around all the time, even at night. Cars speed by red lights and trucks drive far faster than they should already. There is literally no security to account for the intrusiveness a condominium would bring to this region, increasing the number of people in this region, all day, every day.
We've lived here for DECADES without fearing for our safety or the loss of our wealth until recent years. Recent years? There's more theft and break‐ins. Now these guys want to turn a profit at our expense? Security for Cupertino already needs to either be ramped up as is. Why should they be allowed to push for something that will only burden us further?
We residents also have ZERO need for a condo here. What good would it do for us? Nothing! It would cause us problems for no benefit to us. A restaurant or food supplier would be far better ‐‐ It's a Commercial zone anyway!
Please reject this construction application on behalf of the residents that live here and encourage something that would actually benefit the community.
