SECTION 5: OUT-OF-CLASSIFICATION AND ACTING PAY
Temporary assignment, approved in advance by the department head, to a classification in a higher pay grade shall be compensated at the Step 1 rate of the higher classification, or at a rate five percent greater than that of the regular position, but not more than the maximum step of the higher class, whichever is greater, for the number of hours so assigned. In order to qualify for Out-Of-Classification pay, an employee shall work a minimum of 4 hours per day in the temporary assignment. An employee may be assigned to work out of class in a higher classification when there is a vacant position for which a recruitment is being, or will be, conducted. Out of class assignments may not exceed 960 hours in a fiscal year.
Compensation for work performed in an out-of-class capacity is included for purposes of calculating CalPERS compensation, however, this is at the discretion of CalPERS and future changes to CalPERS regulations would supersede the language of this section.
An employee may receive acting pay for working in a higher classification where a vacancy does not exist, in the case of an incumbent being on vacation or leave of absence, or due to the employee being asked to perform higher level work on any other temporary basis. Acting pay is not included for purposes of calculating CalPERS compensation.
The higher rate of pay shall be used in computing overtime when authorized overtime is worked in a non-exempt, out of class or acting work assignment. When a non-exempt employee is working out of class or acting in an exempt position for 20 hours or more in a work week, the employee will be ineligible to receive overtime pay for any and all hours worked in the exempt classification during that work week.

CC 08-16-2022

SECTION 7: HOURS OF WORK: OVERTIME

Hours worked shall include all time assigned by employer whether such hours are worked in the City’s work place, or in some other place where the employee is carrying out the duties of the City.
The normal work week shall be 40 hours in seven days with two consecutive days off.
Alternate Work Schedules (AWS) may be considered, including 9/80 and 4/10, but must be approved in advance by the Department Head. The City reserves the right to re-evaluate such approvals if the Alternate Work Schedule results in an undue burden to the City.
7.2 Overtime
Overtime shall be defined as any work in excess of 40 hours in a seven day work period.
Holidays and paid time off shall count toward the accumulation of the work week.
Overtime work for the City by an employee shall be authorized in advance by the department head or their designee. In the event of unforeseen circumstances, overtime shall be approved after the work is completed.
7.3 Schedules
It will be a management responsibility to schedule the hours of work for each employee covered by this agreement. Except in unforeseen circumstances, changes in employee’s hours of work will be made after ten days prior notice.
7.4 Rest Periods and Meal Breaks
Each employee shall be granted a rest period of fifteen minutes during each work period of more than three hours duration. No wage deduction shall be made nor time off charged against employees taking authorized rest periods, nor shall any rights or overtime be accrued for rest periods not taken.
All employees shall be required to take an uninterrupted, unpaid meal period of a minimum of 30 minutes and a maximum of 60 minutes at or about the midpoint of their work day. The length of the meal period and the time the meal period is taken shall be agreed to between the employee and their supervisor or department head, based on operational necessities.
Employees are entirely relieved of responsibilities and restrictions during their meal period, unless they are assigned, in writing, to work an on-duty meal period, which will be treated as paid time. Employees may not use the meal break to reduce their regular daily work schedule, unless previously approved by their supervisor.
7.5 Payment of Overtime
All approved overtime work performed by employees shall be paid at the rate of one and one-half (1 1/2) times the normal rate of pay. Work performed on regularly scheduled days 1418

1418 of 1555
off, City Holidays or during an employee’s scheduled vacation shall be considered to be overtime and paid accordingly.
7.6 Compensatory Time Off (CTO)
At the employee’s discretion, compensatory time off may be granted for overtime worked at the rate of time and one-half for each hour worked in lieu of compensation in cash.
Employees, who have previously earned compensatory time, shall be allowed to schedule compensatory time off at dates of the employee’s selection provided that prior supervisory approval has been obtained.
CTO time may be accrued for up to 80 hours per calendar year. Any CTO earned exceeding 80 hours will be paid at the rate of time and one-half. An employee may carry over the unused balance into the next calendar year. Any unused carryover balance will be automatically paid out at the end of the calendar year.
An employee may exercise his/her option two times each calendar year to convert any/or all accumulated compensatory time to cash.
7.7 Leave Accruals
An employee shall not accrue leave credits (vacation, sick leave) during a pay period if off without pay for more than 40 hours during said pay period.
SECTION 8: CALL BACK PAY
If an employee is required to report for emergency or other duties during the employee’s offduty hours, the employee will be compensated at a rate of time and one half their base hourly rate for all hours worked, including necessary travel time.
SECTION 9: STRETCH ASSIGNMENTS
As part of the City’s Succession Development program, association members may be eligible for voluntary “stretch assignments”. Stretch Assignments differ from work out of class or acting assignments, and serve to prepare employees for future promotional opportunities within the City.

If the employee is also eligible for leave under the Federal Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), (employee must be employed by the City for at least one year and have worked at least 1250 hours during the year preceding the leave) the leave the employee takes for pregnancy disability will be run concurrently with the employee’s entitlement to up to 12 weeks of FMLA leave. Employees otherwise eligible for health insurance benefits (medical, dental and vision) will continue to receive such benefits during the period of the PDL leave up to four months as defined by law per 12 month period.
After PDL and FMLA leave, if applicable, expires and if the employee is on unpaid status or the employee has less than 20 hours per week on their timesheet, the employee may elect to continue and enroll in COBRA benefits at employee’s expense.
The employee will be accruing sick leave, floating holiday and vacation leave during the period of time, if any, the employee is in paid status.

To be eligible for the CFRA bonding leave, employee must be employed by the City for at least one year and have worked at least 1250 hours during the year preceding the leave. The leave is unpaid, but the employee may use floating holiday, compensatory time and vacation leave in order to receive pay during the leave.
The employee may use sick leave for a baby’s illness or doctor’s appointment when applicable to receive pay during the leave. Bonding leave must be used within one year of the birth of the baby.
An employee who plans to take PDL must give reasonable notice (not less than 4 weeks if anticipated or as soon as possible if the leave is unforeseen) before the date employee expects to take the leave. As with all other employees returning from medical leave, employees returning from PDL leave of at least 3 days are required to provide a doctor’s note clearing them to return to work. If an employee requires reasonable accommodations as a result of pregnancy, employee should consult with Human Resources.

The employee may be eligible for health benefits during the twelve (12) work week period at the same rate as prior to the leave as provided for under the existing MOU.
During adoption leave, accrued vacation may be used by the employee at his or her option in order to receive pay during the leave. Sick leave may only be used during the leave in the event of illness or medical appointments of the adoptive child during the leave.
SECTION 24: CATASTROPHIC LEAVE
a. The City’s Catastrophic Leave Committee will evaluate each individual case when it is submitted to qualify to receive funds. The only limitation is that the employee must be the one facing the illness. The committee has the right to establish standards for the granting of leave hours, and ask the applicant to submit further documentation from the treating physician, and to determine the applicant’s eligibility for catastrophic leave hours.
b. All benefited employees will be eligible to receive assistance. An employee does not have to be a contributor to be eligible.
c. A recipient must have used all of their available leave hours before he/she is eligible. d. The maximum amount is seven (7) days (State Disability Insurance becomes available at this time).

e. Vacation hours and compensating time off (CTO) hours are the only leave of absence credits which may be donated. An employee may not donate leave of absence credits which would reduce his/her total accrued leave balances to less than 120 hours. Leave credits may be donated in any pay period. All leave donations are irrevocable. f. A leave of absence transfer drive will be held whenever necessary to provide for a minimum catastrophic leave bank balance which is the equivalent of 40 hours. g.

Donated leave hours will be converted to cash and deposited in a time-bank where it will be available for distribution. Checks will be issued to the recipient with the regular payroll, which will keep them in an active employment mode with the City. This procedure prevents overpayments or corrections since it comes after the actual leave has been taken. (Conversion allows for adjustments for different rates of pay.) No employee shall receive payment for more than 100% of his or her regular pay.
An employee or their representative must complete a prescribed application form together with supporting medical documentation to the Human Resources Division when applying for funds.
SECTION 25: ABSENCE NOTIFICATION
An employee is expected not to be absent from work for any reason other than personal illness without making prior arrangements with their supervisor. Unless prior arrangements are made, an employee who, for any reason, fails to report for work must notify their supervisor of the reason for being absent by no later than 15 minutes prior to their scheduled start time. If the absence, whether for personal illness or otherwise, is to continue beyond the first day, the employee must notify the supervisor on a daily basis unless otherwise arranged with his/her supervisor. In proper cases, exceptions will be made.
Any unauthorized absence of an employee from duty shall be deemed to be an absence without pay and will be grounds for disciplinary action up to and including dismissal by the department head. In the absence of such disciplinary action any employee who absents himself/herself for three days or more without authorized leave shall be deemed to have resigned. Such absence may be covered, however, by the department head by a following grant of leave with or without pay when extenuating circumstances are found to have existed.

f. The fees and expenses of the advisory arbitrator and the cost of a written transcript shall be divided equally between the City and the grievant, or CEA/IFPTE Local 21, as appropriate; provided, however, that each party shall be responsible for compensating its own representatives and witnesses.
30.7 Limitations on Authority of Advisory Arbitrator: The advisory arbitrator shall have no right to amend, modify, ignore, add to, or subtract from the provisions of the Memorandum of Understanding. The advisory arbitrator shall consider and decide only the question of fact as to whether there has been a violation, misinterpretation, or misapplication of the specific provisions of the MOU section or sections supporting the grievance.

SECTION 31: LAYOFF PROCEDURE
The appointing authority may lay off employees for lack of funds, lack of work or for other similar and just cause. The appointing authority will identify the classification(s) subject to layoff. All classifications and all departments citywide are subject to layoff considerations.
Employees in a classification(s) identified for layoff shall be laid off in reverse order of seniority, based on the date of the appointment to the classification. If an employee separates from City employment for a period of more than 30 days, the time off from City employment shall be deducted from an employee’s length of service for the purpose of determining seniority.
Employees being laid off shall be entitled to placement in a lower classification; provided (a) the employee was previously employed with regular status having completed the probationary period in that lower classification and (b) the employee has more total seniority with the City than an individual in the lower classification. Any employee being displaced by an employee opting to be placed in a lower classification shall be entitled to placement in the lower classification, subject to conditions (a) and (b) listed in this section.
The City will provide a 30 day notice to any employees identified for layoff and layoff pay in the amount of $2,500 at the time of layoff. Such notice will include the employee’s rights to placement in a lower classification pursuant to this section. Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance continue through the end of the month in which the layoff is effective. In addition, the employee will be provided with an opportunity to elect to enroll in COBRA medical, dental, and/or vision coverage at the time of layoff and at employee expense.
The names of the employees affected by layoff shall be placed on a recall list for a period of two years in the reverse order of layoff and shall have the first opportunity for reinstatement.
Failure to respond within ten (10) business days to a written notice of such opportunity for reinstatement shall cause that name to be removed from the recall list. Such notice shall be sent by certified or registered mail to the address of the employee on file with the City. The affected employees shall be responsible for updating the City of any change in address during the time they are on the recall list.
SECTION 32: REINSTATEMENT
With the approval of the Appointing Authority, a regular or probationary employee who has resigned with a good record may be reinstated within twenty-four months of the effective date of resignation to a vacant position in the same or comparable class he/she previously occupied. Upon reinstatement, the employee for all purposes shall be considered as though they had received an original appointment.
SECTION 33: CONTINUATION OF BENEFITS
All terms and conditions of employment not otherwise contained herein shall be maintained at the standards in effect at the time of execution. However, the parties agree that any automatic economic triggers, formulas or escalators shall become inoperable and void upon expiration of this contract.
SECTION 34: TELECOMMUTING / REMOTE WORK
CEA bargaining unit employees will be considered for telework and adhere to the policy of 1432
CC 08-16-2022
1432 of 1555
the City of Cupertino’s expanded telecommuting policy.
SECTION 35: SEPARABILITY
In the event any provision of this agreement is finally held to be illegal by a court of competent jurisdiction or void as being in contravention of any law, rule or regulation of any government agency having jurisdiction over the subject set forth, then the remainder of the agreement shall continue in full force and effect unless the parts so found to be void are held inseparable from the remaining portion of the agreement.
SECTION 36: RATIFICATION
Nothing contained in this memorandum shall be binding upon either the City or the Association until it has been ratified by the Association’s membership and presented and approved by the City Council of the City.
SECTION 37: REOPENER
During the term of this Agreement, upon request by the City or CEA, the City and Association will meet and confer over proposed revisions to the City’s Administrative Rules and Regulations to the extent that the proposed revisions fall within the statutory scope of bargaining.
SECTION 38: TERM
This agreement shall be effective commencing the first full pay period after Association ratification and adoption by the City Council and ending at 11:59 p.m. June 30, 2025.
SECTION 39: TOTAL COMPENSATION SURVEYS
Management and CEA agree to a compensation survey database structure which identifies specific benchmark classifications for job families, classifications within the job families of each benchmark classification, survey agencies, and survey classification matches.
Survey cities include:
1. Campbell
2. Los Altos
3. Los Gatos
4. Menlo Park
5. Milpitas
6. Morgan Hill
7. Mountain View
8. Palo Alto
9. San Mateo

SECTION 1: NO DISCRIMINATION
In accordance with the City of Cupertino Equal Employment Opportunity policy, the City will afford equal opportunity to all qualified employees, applicants and unpaid interns as to all terms and conditions of employment, including compensation, hiring, training, promotion, transfer, discipline, and termination, without regard to race, color, religion, political affiliation, national origin, sex (including gender, gender identity, gender expression, transgender, pregnancy and breastfeeding), disability, sexual orientation (including heterosexuality, homosexuality and bisexuality), age, ancestry, citizenship status, uniformed service member status, marital status, medical condition, genetic information or characteristics, or for Association activity or any other basis protected by law.
SECTION 2: ASSOCIATION RIGHTS
The City and the CEA recognize the right of employees to form, join, and participate in lawful activities of employee organizations and the equal, alternative right of employees to refuse to form, join, and participate in employee organizations. Neither party shall discriminate against an employee in the exercise of these alternative rights. Accordingly, membership in the CEA shall not be compulsory.
2.1 Automatic Payroll Deduction and Remittance
Upon certification by CEA that an employee has signed a deduction authorization, the City will deduct the appropriate dues from the employee's pay, as established and as may be changed from time to time by CEA, and remit such dues to CEA. Employee requests to cancel or change deductions must be directed to CEA rather than to the City. An employee wishing to cancel or change deductions must mail a written revocation to CEA in accordance with the terms of the authorization form, or absent any such terms, by mailing a written revocation to CEA that is postmarked during the thirty {30) day period immediately prior to the annual anniversary date on which the employee signed the original authorization form. Deductions will continue unless and until the City is notified by CEA of any requested changes.
2.2 Access to New Employees
The Employer shall provide CEA written notice of, and access to, new employee orientation as set forth below.
A. Notice: The Employer shall provide at least 10 days’ written notice by email, to addresses that CEA shall provide, of any new employee orientation for positions in a CEA-represented classification, where information regarding employment status, rights, benefits, duties, responsibilities, or any other employment-related matter is provided. Less than ten (10) days’ written notice may be provided where there is an urgent need critical to the City’s operations that was not reasonably foreseeable. 1442
CC 08-16-2022
1442 of 1555
B. Access: CEA shall notify the new employee and labor relations of a proposed thirty minute time slot, during normal working hours, for a maximum of two representatives, which may be either CEA members or IFPTE Local 21 affiliate representatives, to meet privately with the new employee. The purpose of the meeting shall be to provide information and communicate to its member the rights and obligations created by the contract and the role of the representative, and to answer questions, without management personnel or any other persons present. One representative may be a bargaining unit member, and any such bargaining unit member shall be on withoutloss-of-pay status provided the member gives his/her supervisor sufficient advance notice.
1. For reasons of operational necessity only, the Employer may notify CEA that the proposed time is unworkable and that CEA must propose an alternate time.
C. Information Exchange: Within thirty (30) days of hiring a new employee, or by the first pay period of the month following hire, the employer will provide IFPTE Local 21 with the below listed information in a digital or other usable data format:
1) Name
2) Job Title
3) Department
4) Work Location
5) Telephone number(s) [work, home and personal cellular] 6) Personal email address on file with employer
7) Home address of the new hire
Similarly, the City of Cupertino will also provide CEA with the above detailed information for all employees within the bargaining unit at least every ninety (90) calendar days in a digital or other usable data format.
The above information shall not be provided to CEA if the new hire or current employee within the bargaining unit makes a written request to opt out of such disclosure. Upon written request of the employee, the City will not disclose the employee’s home address, home telephone number, personal cellular telephone number, or personal email address to CEA, in accordance with Cal. Gov. Code Section 6254.3(c).
D. The ability to have a CEA representative present as part of orientation/onboarding shall not result in a delay of an employee’s start date.
E. Resolution of the above language satisfies the City’s bargaining obligations under AB 119, Government Code Section 3555-3559.
2.3 Hold Harmless
CEA shall indemnify and hold the City harmless from any and all claims, demands, suits, or 1443
CC 08-16-2022
1443 of 1555
any other action arising from the maintenance of dues deductions or from complying with any demand for termination hereunder, provided that the City promptly provide notice to CEA of any claim, demand, suit, or other action for which it is seeking indemnification.
CEA shall certify to the City of Cupertino that the Association has received and will maintain an authorization, signed by each individual employee from whose salary or wages a deduction or reduction is to be made. CEA will maintain individual employee authorizations, and shall not be required to provide a copy of an individual authorization to the City unless a dispute arises about the existence or terms of the authorization. CEA shall indemnify the City for any claims made by an employee for deductions made in reliance on that certification.
2.4 Administrative Processing of CEA Dues
CEA shall provide the City with a thirty day advance written notice of any changes in the annual dues deduction amounts. CEA, which has affiliated with IFPTE Local 21, AFL-CIO shall provide the City with instructions regarding dues deductions to be remitted to IFPTE Local 21.
2.5 Reasonable Time Off to Meet and Confer
As a representative of a recognized employee organization, CEA Board members may be selected to attend scheduled meetings with City representatives on subjects within the scope of representation during regular work hours without loss of compensation. For contract negotiations, CEA may select not more than six employee members to attend bargaining sessions. Where circumstances warrant, Human Resources may approve the attendance of additional employee representatives without loss of compensation, at either labor negotiations or Labor Management Committee, or other meet and confer meetings.
2.6 Stewards
CEA may designate a reasonable number of employees to represent other employees in disciplinary or grievance matters and to investigate matters within the scope of representation. CEA shall provide written notice to the City of the designated stewards and shall notify the City of any changes to the list. Stewards shall conduct their representation activities on their own time and on the employee’s own time unless it is an emergency situation, which would still require approval from the appropriate supervisor or manager in order to leave the job site. Time off without loss of compensation shall be allowed for management approved meetings. Unless authorized, only one steward shall be released on work time to attend such meetings for any one grievance, discipline, or representation matter.
2.7 Activities on City premises
Representatives of CEA shall be granted reasonable access to employee work locations to investigate matters relating to employer-employee relations, unless such access to given work locations would constitute a safety hazard or would interfere with the operations of the City. CEA/IFPTE Local 21 field representatives shall not enter a work location without first advising the department head or Human Resources office.
SECTION 3: MANAGEMENT RIGHTS
Consistent with the MMBA, it is the exclusive right of the City of Cupertino to direct its 1444
CC 08-16-2022
1444 of 1555
employees; take disciplinary action for proper cause; relieve its employees from duty because of lack of work or for other legitimate reason; classify and reclassify positions; and determine the methods, means, and personnel by which the City’s operations are to be conducted. Any of the rights, powers and authority the City had prior to entering into this Agreement are retained by the City except as expressly provided in this section.
While exercising its rights pursuant to the section, the City agrees to meet and confer with CEA representatives over matters within the statutory scope of bargaining.
SECTION 4: SALARY SCHEDULE
Monthly salary ranges as listed on Exhibit A will apply for each classification effective at the beginning of the pay period in which July 1 occurs unless otherwise noted below.
Effective the first full pay period after Association ratification and adoption by the City Council of this successor MOU, a 45.0% salary increase will be added to the salary range of each classification in this bargaining unit retroactive to the first full pay period after July 1, 2022, and a one-time $3,800 lump sum payment.
Effective the first full pay period in July 2020, a 3.50% salary increase will be added to the salary range of each classification in this bargaining unit.
Effective the first full pay period in July 2021, a 3.0% salary increase will be added to the salary range of each classification in this bargaining unit.
In addition, total compensation equity adjustments as identified in the City’s 2019 Total Compensation Surveys. Effective the first full pay period after Association ratification and adoption by the Council of this successor MOU, salaries ranges shall be adjusted as listed on Exhibit B.
Effective the first full pay period after July 1, 2022, a 5.0% salary increase will be added to the salary range of each classification in this bargaining unit.
The parties further agree to reopen wage negotiations for FY23-24 and FY24-25 upon the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration’s (CDTFA) completion of the sales tax review, but in no event later than March 1, 2023. The union may propose changes to salary steps, call back pay and bilingual pay as part of the wage reopener discussion.
SECTION 5: OUT-OF-CLASSIFICATION AND ACTING PAY
Temporary assignment, approved in advance by the department head, to a classification in a higher pay grade shall be compensated at the Step 1 rate of the higher classification, or at a rate five percent greater than that of the regular position, but not more than the maximum step of the higher class, whichever is greater, for the number of hours so assigned. In order to qualify for Out-Of-Classification pay, an employee shall work a minimum of 4 hours per day in the temporary assignment. An employee may be assigned to work out of class in a higher classification when there is a vacant position for which a recruitment is being, or will be, conducted. Out of class assignments may not exceed 960 hours in a fiscal year.
Compensation for work performed in an out-of-class capacity is included for purposes of calculating CalPERS compensation, however, this is at the discretion of CalPERS and future Formatted: Justified
1445
CC 08-16-2022
1445 of 1555
changes to CalPERS regulations would supersede the language of this section.
An employee may receive acting pay for working in a higher classification where a vacancy does not exist, in the case of an incumbent being on vacation or leave of absence, or due to the employee being asked to perform higher level work on any other temporary basis. Acting pay is not included for purposes of calculating CalPERS compensation.
The higher rate of pay shall be used in computing overtime when authorized overtime is worked in a non-exempt, out of class or acting work assignment. When a non-exempt employee is working out of class or acting in an exempt position for 20 hours or more in a work week, the employee will be ineligible to receive overtime pay for any and all hours worked in the exempt classification during that work week.
All requests for out of class pay or acting pay must be approved by the Director of Administrative Services or his/her designee.
SECTION 6: BILINGUAL PAY DIFFERENTIAL
An employee must have taken and passed the required language proficiency test(s) prior to being asked to use bilingual skills for City work. An employee who performs bilingual work as approved by their supervisor is eligible to receive a 7.5% bilingual pay differential only for the work time during which the employee uses bilingual skills. For payroll reporting purposes, the 7.5% bilingual pay differential will be recorded with a 15 minute minimum. Bilingual pay is not available retroactively to passing the exam.
SECTION 7: HOURS OF WORK: OVERTIME
7.1 Hours of Work Defined
Hours worked shall include all time assigned by employer whether such hours are worked in the City’s work place, or in some other place where the employee is carrying out the duties of the City.
The normal work week shall be 40 hours in seven days with two consecutive days off.
Alternate Work Schedules (AWS) may be considered, including 9/80 and 4/10, but must be approved in advance by the Department Head. The City reserves the right to re-evaluate such approvals if the Alternate Work Schedule results in an undue burden to the City.
7.2 Overtime
Overtime shall be defined as any work in excess of 40 hours in a seven day work period.
Holidays and paid time off shall count toward the accumulation of the work week.
Overtime work for the City by an employee shall be authorized in advance by the department head or their designee. In the event of unforeseen circumstances, overtime shall be approved after the work is completed.
7.3 Schedules
It will be a management responsibility to schedule the hours of work for each employee covered by this agreement. Except in unforeseen circumstances, changes in employee’s hours of work will be made after ten days prior notice.
1446
CC 08-16-2022
1446 of 1555
7.4 Rest Periods and Meal Breaks
Each employee shall be granted a rest period of fifteen minutes during each work period of more than three hours duration. No wage deduction shall be made nor time off charged against employees taking authorized rest periods, nor shall any rights or overtime be accrued for rest periods not taken.
All employees shall be required to take an uninterrupted, unpaid meal period of a minimum of 30 minutes and a maximum of 60 minutes at or about the midpoint of their work day. The length of the meal period and the time the meal period is taken shall be agreed to between the employee and their supervisor or department head, based on operational necessities.
Employees are entirely relieved of responsibilities and restrictions during their meal period, unless they are assigned, in writing, to work an on-duty meal period, which will be treated as paid time. Employees may not use the meal break to reduce their regular daily work schedule, unless previously approved by their supervisor.
7.5 Payment of Overtime
All approved overtime work performed by employees shall be paid at the rate of one and one-half (1 1/2) times the normal rate of pay. Work performed on regularly scheduled days off, City Holidays or during an employee’s scheduled vacation shall be considered to be overtime and paid accordingly.
7.6 Compensatory Time Off (CTO)
At the employee’s discretion, compensatory time off may be granted for overtime worked at the rate of time and one-half for each hour worked in lieu of compensation in cash.
Employees, who have previously earned compensatory time, shall be allowed to schedule compensatory time off at dates of the employee’s selection provided that prior supervisory approval has been obtained.
CTO time may be accrued for up to 80 hours per calendar year. Any CTO earned exceeding 80 hours will be paid at the rate of time and one-half. An employee may carry over the unused balance into the next calendar year. Any unused carryover balance will be automatically paid out at the end of the calendar year.
An employee may exercise his/her option two times each calendar year to convert any/or all accumulated compensatory time to cash.
7.7 Leave Accruals
An employee shall not accrue leave credits (vacation, sick leave) during a pay period if off without pay for more than 40 hours during said pay period.
SECTION 8: CALL BACK PAY
If an employee is required to report for emergency or other duties during the employee’s offduty hours, the employee will be compensated at a rate of time and one half their base hourly rate for all hours worked, including necessary travel time.

1447 of 1555
SECTION 9: STRETCH ASSIGNMENTS
As part of the City’s Succession Development program, association members may be eligible for voluntary “stretch assignments”. Stretch Assignments differ from work out of class or acting assignments, and serve to prepare employees for future promotional opportunities within the City. Examples of stretch assignments include shadowing management staff; assisting with special projects or tasks; and cross-departmental training opportunities. Stretch assignments are voluntary and receive no additional compensation. Stretch assignments may be requested by employees, or offered by department management staff; however, such assignments should not impact the employee’s regular workload or position and should not result in overtime hours. Stretch assignments are offered solely at the discretion of management and are not grievable. Stretch assignments shall not be utilized to cover the work of an unfilled position or to cover work assignments of an employee on leave.
SECTION 10: CONTRACTING OUT

An employee who plans to take PDL must give reasonable notice (not less than 4 weeks if anticipated or as soon as possible if the leave is unforeseen) before the date employee expects to take the leave. As with all other employees returning from medical leave, employees returning from PDL leave of at least 3 days are required to provide a doctor’s note clearing 1455

SECTION 24: CATASTROPHIC LEAVE
a. The City’s Catastrophic Leave Committee will evaluate each individual case when it is submitted to qualify to receive funds. The only limitation is that the employee must be the one facing the illness. The committee has the right to establish standards for the granting of leave hours, and ask the applicant to submit further documentation from the treating physician, and to determine the applicant’s eligibility for catastrophic leave hours.

In proper cases, exceptions will be made.
Any unauthorized absence of an employee from duty shall be deemed to be an absence without pay and will be grounds for disciplinary action up to and including dismissal by the department head. In the absence of such disciplinary action any employee who absents himself/herself for three days or more without authorized leave shall be deemed to have resigned. Such absence may be covered, however, by the department head by a following grant of leave with or without pay when extenuating circumstances are found to have existed.

b. The advisory arbitrator shall be notified of his/her selection and shall be requested to set a time and place for the hearing, subject to the availability of the grievant/designated representative and City representatives.
c. The City or the grievant/designated representative shall have the right to request the arbitrator to require the presence of witnesses or documents. The City and the grievant retain the right to employ legal counsel.
d. The advisory arbitrator shall submit his/her recommendation in writing within thirty (30) days following the close of the hearing or the submission of briefs by the parties, whichever is later.
e. More than one grievance may be submitted to the same advisory arbitrator if both parties mutually agree in writing.
f. The fees and expenses of the advisory arbitrator and the cost of a written transcript shall be divided equally between the City and the grievant, or CEA/IFPTE Local 21, as appropriate; provided, however, that each party shall be responsible for compensating its own representatives and witnesses.
30.7 Limitations on Authority of Advisory Arbitrator: The advisory arbitrator shall have no right to amend, modify, ignore, add to, or subtract from the provisions of the Memorandum of Understanding. The advisory arbitrator shall consider and decide only the question of fact as to whether there has been a violation, misinterpretation, or misapplication of the specific provisions of the MOU section or sections supporting the grievance. The advisory arbitrator shall be empowered to determine the issue raised by the grievance as submitted in writing at the second step. The advisory arbitrator shall have no authority to make a recommendation on any issue not so submitted or raised. The advisory arbitrator shall be without power to make recommendations contrary to or inconsistent with, in any way, applicable laws or rules and regulations of administrative bodies that have the force and effect of law. The advisory arbitrator shall not in any way limit or interfere with the powers, duties and responsibilities of the City under law and applicable court decisions. The recommendation shall be advisory only to the City Manager. The City Manager will make the final decision.
SECTION 31: LAYOFF PROCEDURE
The appointing authority may lay off employees for lack of funds, lack of work or for other similar and just cause. The appointing authority will identify the classification(s) subject to layoff. All classifications and all departments citywide are subject to layoff considerations.
Employees in a classification(s) identified for layoff shall be laid off in reverse order of seniority, based on the date of the appointment to the classification. If an employee separates from City employment for a period of more than 30 days, the time off from City employment shall be deducted from an employee’s length of service for the purpose of determining seniority. 1460
CC 08-16-2022
1460 of 1555
Employees being laid off shall be entitled to placement in a lower classification; provided (a) the employee was previously employed with regular status having completed the probationary period in that lower classification and (b) the employee has more total seniority with the City than an individual in the lower classification. Any employee being displaced by an employee opting to be placed in a lower classification shall be entitled to placement in the lower classification, subject to conditions (a) and (b) listed in this section.
The City will provide a 30 day notice to any employees identified for layoff and layoff pay in the amount of $2,500 at the time of layoff. Such notice will include the employee’s rights to placement in a lower classification pursuant to this section. Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance continue through the end of the month in which the layoff is effective. In addition, the employee will be provided with an opportunity to elect to enroll in COBRA medical, dental, and/or vision coverage at the time of layoff and at employee expense.
The names of the employees affected by layoff shall be placed on a recall list for a period of two years in the reverse order of layoff and shall have the first opportunity for reinstatement.
Failure to respond within ten (10) business days to a written notice of such opportunity for reinstatement shall cause that name to be removed from the recall list. Such notice shall be sent by certified or registered mail to the address of the employee on file with the City. The affected employees shall be responsible for updating the City of any change in address during the time they are on the recall list.
SECTION 32: REINSTATEMENT
With the approval of the Appointing Authority, a regular or probationary employee who has resigned with a good record may be reinstated within twenty-four months of the effective date of resignation to a vacant position in the same or comparable class he/she previously occupied. Upon reinstatement, the employee for all purposes shall be considered as though they had received an original appointment.
SECTION 33: CONTINUATION OF BENEFITS
All terms and conditions of employment not otherwise contained herein shall be maintained at the standards in effect at the time of execution. However, the parties agree that any automatic economic triggers, formulas or escalators shall become inoperable and void upon expiration of this contract.
SECTION 34: TELECOMMUTING / REMOTE WORK
CEA bargaining unit employees will be considered for telework and adhere to the policy of the City of Cupertino’s expanded telecommuting policy.
SECTION 345: SEPARABILITY
In the event any provision of this agreement is finally held to be illegal by a court of competent jurisdiction or void as being in contravention of any law, rule or regulation of any government agency having jurisdiction over the subject set forth, then the remainder of the agreement shall continue in full force and effect unless the parts so found to be void are held inseparable from the remaining portion of the agreement.
SECTION 356: RATIFICATION
1461
CC 08-16-2022
1461 of 1555
Nothing contained in this memorandum shall be binding upon either the City or the Association until it has been ratified by the Association’s membership and presented and approved by the City Council of the City.
SECTION 367: REOPENER
During the term of this Agreement, upon request by the City or CEA, the City and Association will meet and confer over proposed revisions to the City’s Administrative Rules and Regulations to the extent that the proposed revisions fall within the statutory scope of bargaining.
SECTION 378: TERM
This agreement shall be effective commencing the first full pay period after Association ratification and adoption by the City Council and ending at 11:59 p.m. June 30, 20252.
SECTION 389: TOTAL COMPENSATION SURVEYS
Management and CEA agree to a compensation survey database structure which identifies specific benchmark classifications for job families, classifications within the job families of each benchmark classification, survey agencies, and survey classification matches.
Survey cities include:
1. Campbell
2. Los Altos
3. Los Gatos
4. Menlo Park
5. Milpitas
6. Morgan Hill
7. Mountain View
8. Palo Alto
9. San Mateo
10. Santa Clara
11. Saratoga
12. Sunnyvale
The survey data is intended to provide a source of information concerning how the compensation paid to employees in bargaining unit job classifications compares to that paid by other public employers. The City will update the survey database and send a copy to CEA six weeks before expiration of this agreement. This survey data will be considered in successor agreement negotiations.

CONCERNING CONSTRUCTIVE RECEIPT AND [,EAVE
SELLBACKS
DATE: November 30, 2021
Background Overview
This Side Letter Agreement ("Agreement") relates to modifications to the City of Cupertino's ("City") sell back provisions whereby an employee has the option to receive the cash value of annual leave earned instead of taking the time off. Specifically, and pursuant to the current Memorandum of Understanding between the City and IFPTE, Local 21, Cupertino Employees Association ("Union") effective July 16, 2019 through June 30, 2022 ("MOU"), employees have the options to sell back the fonowing types of leaves:
@ Under Section 7.6, employees may exercise the option twice eaaz calendar year to convert any/or an accumulated compensatory time to cash. * Under Section 17, employees may convert, on a twice per calendar year basis, unused vacation time for payment subject to the following conditions: i) the employee musthave accrued vacation of at least 120 hours; ii) any payments made for unused vacationwin be subject to all appropriate taxes; iii) minimum exchange will be 8 hours; maximum exohange wffl be 80 hours; and, iv) all ianges are irrevocable.
Under these Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Regulations, the IRS considers income to be received for tax purposes if the individual actually receives it or has an option to receive it during each tax year. This is known as the constructive receipt doctrine. -1-

Agreement
Application of this constructive receipt doctrine to the City's sell back of leave provisions would mean that any annual leave subject to sell back would have to be taxed as it is earned because the City's program allows the employee anunimpeded option to take this lepye as cash rather than to take the time off.
However, IRS Regulations also provide that the constructive receipt doctrine will not apply if an individual's control over the receipt of income is subject to substantial limitations or restrictions. Several private letter rulings have held that income is not constructively received as annual leave accrues if an individual has made an irrevocable election before the tax year iii wl-ach it accrues to receive only a designated portion of this annual leave as cash.
Relying on these private letter rulings as an indication of how the IRS would view the City's sell back of leave provisions, the City has proposed and the Union has agreed to modify the program prospectively to comply with applicable IRS Regulations.
Surnrnarv of Modifications to Existing Leave Sell Back Provisions and Intent of This Agreement
The modification contained in this Agreement is designed to preserve the employee's ability to receive sell back of leave provisions but substantially limit that ability so that there is no "constructive receipt" as the IRS defines it. To accomplish this, an employee will be required to make an irrevocable election annually by December 31 or by the preceding Friday if December 31 falls on a Saturday or Sunday, to specify how muchpayin-lieu of leave to be eamed in the following calendaryear the employee wishes to receive during that calendar year.
The details related to the administration of this modified sell back of leave provisions are set forth below. Unless otherwise noted herein, an employee's right to eam and use annual leave as specified in any applicable MOU or City policies or Personnel Rules, remains unchanged.

who fails to elect by December 31 each year or by the preceding Friday if December 31 falls on a Saturday or Sunday, to participate in the pay-in-lieu of annual leave program for the following year will be deemed to have elected not to participate and he or she will be prohibited from receiving any pay-in-lieu during thatyear except as, and only to the extent, permitted under Section 4 below.
d. Each year, in advance of this annual December 31 deadline, the City will provide employees with notice and an explanation regarding the need for an irrevocable election as well as the relevant form for making the election.
2. When pay-in-lieu is cashed out, it will be paid based on the employee's rate of pay at the time it is paid. All pay-in-lieu pay-outs are taxable income, subject to all applicable withholdings and payron deductions.
3. Existing caps on the accrual of annual leave will remain in effect.
4. Effective for calendar years beginning on and after January 1, 2022, an employee's election with regard to pay-in-lieu shall be irrevocable except in the event of an unforeseeable financial emergency subject to the following ruIes:
a. In the event of an unforeseeable emergency, as defined in subsection b, an employee may apply to receive pay-in-lieu of annual leave accrued on or after January 1, 2022, but limited to the amount that is reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergeng need, including any arnoiu"its that may be necessary to pay any federal, state, or local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated as a result of the cash out. If Human Resources approves an employee's application, the City will pay the employee the pay-in-lieu amount it deems necessary to meet the emergency need. b. "Unforeseeable emergency" means a severe financial hardship of the employee resulting from an illness or accident of the employee, the employee's spouse, or the employee's dependent (as defined in Internal Revenue Code section 152, and, without regard to Internal Revenue Code sections 152(b)(1), (b)(2), and (d)(l)(B)); loss of the employee's property due to casualty (including the need to rebuild a home following damage to a home not otherwise covered by homeowner's insurance, such as damage that is the result of a natural disaster); or other similar extraordinary and -4-

unforeseeable circumstances arising as a direct result of events beyond the control of the employee. For example, the imminent foreclosure or eviction from the employee's home may constitute an unforeseeable emergency. In addition, the need to pay for medical expenses, including non-refundable deductibles, as well as for the cost of prescription drug medication, may constitute an in"iforeseeable emergency. Finally, the need to pay for the funeral expenses of a spouse or dependent (as defined inn Internal Revenue Code section 152, and, without regard to Intemal Revenue Code sections 152(6)(1), (6)(2), and (d)(l)(B)) of the employee may also constitute an unforeseeable emergency. Neither the purchase of a home nor the payment of college tuition is anunforeseeable emergency. Pay-in-lieu of annualleave on account of an iu'iforeseeable emergency willnot be paid to the extent that such an emergeng is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation from insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the employee's assets, to the extent liquidation of sudi assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship. Employees who face an unforeseen emergency and experience the need for an emergency cash out of annual leave are advised to contact Human Resources for a determination, which will be made based on the individualized and specific circiunstances presented.
5. To comply with effective date of this change beginning on or after January 1, 2022, employees must make the requisite election by December 31, 2021.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting: August 16, 2022
Subject
Meeting on the Housing Element update focusing on the establishment of a housing sites selection inventory.
Recommended Action
That the City Council receive the report and presentation, provide input on the proposed housing inventory sites, and consider approval of the sites on the “Recommended Sites Inventory Table” (Attachment A) as the 6
th Cycle Housing Element sites inventory.
Discussion
Background: 6
th Cycle Housing Element Update/RHNA
The City is currently preparing its 6
th Cycle Housing Element update, which covers the
planning period 2023 to 2031. The Housing Element is part of Cupertino’s General Plan and identifies policies and programs intended to meet the housing needs of the City’s current and future residents, at all income levels. State law requires that every city and county in California adopt a Housing Element every eight years to reflect the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) established for each jurisdiction. The City’s RHNA is 4,588 units for the 2023-2031 planning period. Based on income levels, Cupertino’s RHNA of 4,588 breaks down as follows: 1,193 Very-Low income units; 687 Low income units; 755 Moderate income units; 1,953 Above-Moderate, or market rate, units. Once a city’s RHNA has been determined that city must demonstrate that they have adequate housing sites to accommodate their RHNA. There are specific requirements on site selection, ensuring that the City has policies in place to support the development of housing for persons at all income levels, as specified by State law.
On September 21, 2021, the City Council awarded a consultant agreement to prepare the 6 th Cycle Housing Element update to EMC Planning Group (EMC). Since that time EMC and City staff have held numerous meetings related to the Housing Element update, beginning with two City Council study sessions, on September 28 and November 16, 2021, which focused on the overall Housing Element update process and State 1496
CC 08-16-2022
1496 of 1555
2 requirements that have greatly expanded the role and extent of public outreach required for the 6th Cycle update. On December 9, 2021, EMC held both a daytime study session with the Housing Commission and an evening community workshop. Like the previous Council meetings these studies sessions focused on the overall Housing Element update process and new State requirements.
In early March 2022, the City Council held meetings focusing on the community engagement component of the Housing Element and established the ad hoc Community Engagement Plan-Strategic Advisory Committee (Advisory Committee) to guide the planning of the City’s future community engagement and compliance with State Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) requirements. The Advisory Committee has met five times between March 30 and July 25 and will next meet on September 16, 2022.
Planning and Housing Commission Sites Inventory Meetings During the 2022 calendar year, a primary focus of the Housing Element update has been the establishment of a housing sites inventory that would allow the City to meet its 6th Cycle housing needs, or RHNA. The sites inventory is the list of City Council-approved properties that identifies where housing will be developed during the 2023-2031 planning period. Approval of the sites inventory is crucial to commencing the environmental review process and defining the scope of the Housing Element update as a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Given the scale of the Housing Element update, an environmental impact report (EIR) will be prepared. The Environmental Review Committee will consider the scope of the environmental analysis before the EIR is presented to the Planning Commission and City Council.
The Planning Commission held meetings focused specifically on the Housing Element sites selection on January 25, February 22, April 26, and May 24, 2022, with each meeting progressing from a more general, citywide discussion of potential housing sites and locations to a more specific discussion focused on selecting sites at specified densities.
At the January and February Planning Commission study sessions, staff and EMC provided overviews of the housing sites selection process and identified nearly 400 properties citywide that could potentially be placed on the City’s housing sites inventory.
The majority of these properties fell within the property size range, 0.5-10 acres, recommended by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), the State agency that oversees the Housing Element update process and ultimately certifies all city and county Housing Elements. During the January and February study sessions, Planning Commissioners provided staff with principles and objectives to guide which sites should be included, specifically that: 1) housing sites should be dispersed throughout the City and strive for a balance between the City’s eastern and western areas; 2) new housing sites should avoid or minimize displacement of existing uses, particularly existing residential uses that would necessitate the relocation of residents; 3) the Housing Element should avoid significantly “up-zoning” 1497
CC 08-16-2022
1497 of 1555
3 sites to the extent feasible; and 4) the Housing Element should include new housing sites that could support the City’s public schools and help counteract declining enrollment trends that are occurring city and county wide.
Based on this input, staff and EMC presented a reduced, more focused list of potential housing sites at the April 26 Planning Commission meeting, grouping the potential sites by neighborhood and special area to better illustrate the locations of the properties.
Extensive public comment was provided at the April 26 meeting, where the Planning Commission reiterated its previously-stated principles and goals for housing site selection and also directed staff to focus on the potential inclusion of several “key” sites along South DeAnza and Stevens Creek Boulevards.
On June 28 and July 5, 2022, the Planning and Housing Commissions held a special joint meeting (the meeting was continued from June 28 to July 5) to finalize their housing sites inventory recommendation to Council. The Commissions’ sites inventory recommendation (Attachment A) largely coincides with staff’s June 28 recommendation to the Planning and Housing Commissions, but it also includes key changes, notably increasing housing densities to areas on the City’s west side, such as the South DeAnza Boulevard and Bubb Road special areas, as well as the North and South Monta Vista neighborhoods. The Commissions also recommended that development standards be established that allow for more intensive development along the street frontage portions of the DeAnza and Stevens Creek Boulevard corridors but that development of the properties along these corridors adjacent to single-family neighborhoods be limited in scale to preserve the existing neighborhood character. The sites listed on Attachment A, excluding properties designated as “Tier 2,” are the Commissions’ recommended sites.
The Commissions’ discussion and recommendations are discussed further in the Analysis section, below. Attachments B and C, respectively, “Cupertino Sites Overview” and “Pipeline, Tier 1, and Tier 2 Projects Map,” provide additional information on the housing sites and their locations throughout the City.
Analysis
Pipeline Projects and RHNA
The Recommended Sites Inventory Table (Attachment A) included with this staff report is the list of properties recommended by the Planning and Housing Commissions to the Council for inclusion on the housing sites inventory. At the top of Attachment A are the City’s nine residential “pipeline projects.” Pipeline projects are those that have received development entitlements but have not yet been constructed or received building permits or certificates of occupancy for any of the approved residential units. The Rise (the former Vallco Shopping Center site) and the nearby The Hamptons Apartment Homes are the most significant of these pipeline projects in terms of the number of units, with over 3,000 new dwellings entitled between them. Given that pipeline projects have all the necessary 1498
CC 08-16-2022
1498 of 1555
4 approvals in place to proceed to the development stage, these projects have a high degree of certainty that they will be constructed within the 2023-2031 planning cycle. In total, Cupertino has 3,545 pipeline units, a significant amount, making up 77% of the City’s overall RHNA of 4,588. In addition to pipeline units, the City can take credit for accessory dwelling unit (ADU) production that is anticipated to occur in the next planning cycle; it is estimated, based on the City’s ADU production over the last three years, that Cupertino will add 25 ADUs per year. The amount of pipeline units plus estimated ADU units appears to leave the City only 843 units short of its RHNA. However, since the RHNA is broken down into the Very-Low, Low, Moderate and Above-Moderate income categories, those categories must be taken into consideration during the site selection process, altering the total number of units needed to comply with the RHNA.

*Amount of units needed per RHNA for income category. Limited to 0 since a credit cannot be applied due to overproduction in this income category.
As Shown in Table 1, above, due the significant amount of pipeline and units, the City is already exceeding its RHNA in the Low and Above-Moderate income categories for the 2023-2031 planning period. The City, however, cannot meet its Very-Low and Moderate income RHNA requirements through the pipeline projects, resulting in a need (shown as “Balance” in Table 1) of 1,488 Very-Low and Moderate income units beyond those provided by pipeline projects. Additionally, HCD recommends a “buffer” of between 15- 30% of additional units be included in the sites inventory for each of the below marketrate income categories (i.e., Very-Low, Low and Moderate incomes), in accordance with the State’s No Net Loss Law. The concept of buffer and the No Net Loss Law are discussed in more detail, below.
Recommended Housing Sites
Listed below the pipeline projects on the Recommended Sites Inventory Table (Attachment A) are the properties recommended for inclusion on the housing sites inventory. There are two “tiers” of properties shown, Tier 1 and Tier 2. Tier 1 properties are the recommended sites, and Tier 2 properties (indicated in the second column of Attachment A) are included as alternative sites for reasons discussed, below. There are 56 individual Tier 1 properties that, if developed at the minimum densities specified in the Table, would result in 2,090 new housing units. When staff made its sites inventory recommendation to the Planning and Housing Commissions on June 28 the total Tier 1 1499
CC 08-16-2022
1499 of 1555
5 units was estimated at 1,871; based primarily on increasing the density to the sites recommended by staff, particularly along the South DeAnza Boulevard corridor, the Planning and Housing Commissions added over 200 additional units through their June 28 and July 5 review.
The primary reasons staff recommended these properties to the Planning and Housing Commissions for inclusion on the sites inventory was based on the guidance given by the Planning Commission during the four January-May Planning Commission study sessions, specifically:
1. The properties are not clustered in the Heart of the City/Stevens Creek Boulevard corridor. The four Stevens Creek Boulevard properties on the recommended inventory are all located east of DeAnza Boulevard;
2. The properties are generally dispersed throughout the City (Attachment C), including significant development potential on the City’s west side. For instance, excluding the large number of pipeline units, 1,423 of the units are located between DeAnza Boulevard and the City’s western boundary, whereas only 676 nonpipeline units are located on properties east of DeAnza Boulevard;
3. The recommended sites minimize or avoid potential displacement of existing residents through future redevelopment of the sites for housing.
Generally, the Recommended Sites Inventory (Attachment A) has three major areas of concentration for new housing in the City. These three areas have 1,482, or 71%, of the 2,090 recommended units. They are:
Stelling Gateway/Homestead (440 units) in the northwestern portion of the City; South De Anza (462 units) in the southwestern portion of the City; and North Vallco Park/Vallco Shopping District (580 units) in the northeastern portion of the City.
The remaining 608 Tier 1 units are spread throughout the City’s neighborhoods and special areas. As noted, above, if the pipeline units are not factored in, there are more potential units (1,414) located west of DeAnza Boulevard than east of DeAnza Boulevard (676), consistent with the Planning Commission’s general direction stated during the study sessions held earlier this year. Going into the June 28 joint Planning and Housing Commission meeting, staff had initially recommended more of an even east-west split (896 units west of DeAnza; 948 east of DeAnza) for new housing units. The Commissions’ recommendation to Council further emphasizes increasing the minimum density of the recommended properties on the west side relative to the eastern portion of the City.
Buffer/No Net Loss Law
Even though only 1,488 units are needed (Table 1, p. 4) to meet the City’s RHNA by income category, once pipeline projects are accounted for, HCD recommends a “buffer” of 15-30% additional units be included in the sites inventory. The purpose of the buffer is 1500
CC 08-16-2022
1500 of 1555
6 to comply with the State’s No Net Loss Law (SB 166), which requires that sufficient adequate sites are available at all times throughout the 2023-2031 RHNA planning period, for each income category. For instance, if the City were to approve a project, or a series of projects, at lower densities or different income levels than what is designated in the Housing Element, it could result in the City dropping below the required number of units for one or more income level categories. To prevent this from happening, HCD recommends a RHNA buffer of 15-30%. However, HCD does not mandate any particular number. Given the lack of a mandate, some jurisdictions have included buffers greater than 30%, while others have included less than 15% in their Housing Elements.
Ostensibly, a buffer at the higher end of the range will provide more assurance that sites will be consistently available at all income categories during the planning period than would a lower percentage buffer. Since pipeline projects are already entitled and therefore have a high degree of certainty in terms of knowing the total number of units, as well as the number of units within each RHNA income category, there is less of a need for a buffer for these project sites. In addition to the pipeline projects the Recommended Sites Inventory has 2,090 Tier 1, units, and an additional 200 ADUs, for a total of 2,290 units. Combined with the pipeline projects 3,545 units this brings the total to 5,844 units, 1,256 units more than the City’s RHNA, for a buffer of 27%, in the upper end of HCD’s recommended 15-30% range.
Thus, when reviewing the Sites Inventory Table, staff recommends maintaining the approximate number of units that would result from the recommended Tier 1 sites at the densities specified, plus the number of buffer units desired. The City Council has discretion to select a buffer of any size. However, Council should keep in mind that a smaller buffer increases the risk that the City could be required to revise the Housing Element during the 2023-2031 planning period to comply with No Net Loss requirements.
If there are additional sites proposed to be added to the Table, such as Tier 2 sites that include properties in the Heart of the City area, this could enable Council to remove some of the Tier 1 sites or reduce minimum required site densities below those shown on the Recommended Sites Inventory.
Density/Affordability Considerations
One of the primary reasons the Recommended Sites Inventory indicates the minimum density for all of the housing sites is that HCD bases the site’s development potential on the minimum density shown. Even though a property may actually be developed over the minimum density, for instance, a property designated as 30 units/acre developing at 40 or 50 units per acre, HCD is focused on what is considered the realistic development potential of the sites, which HCD typically considers the minimum density. However, when approving the sites inventory, Council has the flexibility to determine a density range, establishing minimums and maximums, similar to that used in land use regulations such as the General Plan Land Use Element or specific plans. Two concerns 1501
CC 08-16-2022
1501 of 1555
7 to keep in mind if the minimum density is lowered are the reduction of the RHNA buffer and the difficulty of lower density sites being able to provide affordable housing, which is one of HCD’s primary objectives. In terms of affordability HCD has strongly recommended that sites have a minimum density of 30 units/acre. Below that level of density affordability becomes more difficult to achieve, and HCD would require documentation that affordable housing would be feasible at the lower density. Presently, the Recommended Sites Inventory has 56 individual properties listed, 20 of which have a minimum density of 30 units/acre and 24 with a minimum density of 50 units/acre. Only twelve of the properties listed have minimum densities below 30 units/acre. Therefore, nearly 80% of the properties listed meet HCD’s affordability criteria of 30 units/acre. The density at which sites develop, or are anticipated to develop, is important for the City to produce the required number of units. The City could therefore adopt a strategy to require “Priority Housing” sites to develop at the minimum density indicated in the Housing Element to ensure that the City achieves its goals rather than allowing them to develop at a lower density. Other sites could have greater flexibility.
It is also possible that the City consider an Affordable Housing Overlay (AHO) for certain (or all) Priority Housing sites or establish a City density bonus that could be applied in addition to State density bonus law. This could allow an increase to the density of projects only if they were primarily affordable to households at lower income levels or, specifically, at income levels where the City needs to have units develop within the 2023- 2031 Housing Element cycle. For Cupertino, since there needs to be an increased production of Very-Low income and Moderate income level housing, the City could consider increased density (e.g., an increase of 50%) for projects that provide a greater number of units at these specific income levels.
Next Steps
Once the City Council approves the housing sites inventory, the CEQA/environmental review process for the Housing Element update will commence. It is anticipated that the CEQA process will take approximately nine months to complete. During this time EMC and staff will be preparing the draft Housing Element to submit to HCD for its initial review and will be completing the community engagement process.

Cupertino City Council Sites Overview
Cupertino has identified 25 areas that were studied for potential Housing Opportunity Sites. Of these, capacity for future housing is reasonably anticipated to be accommodated in the following 16 areas of the city. This is a live list of sites, and better informed with community comments and discussion participation. On the Engage Cupertino website, individual area pages have more information about each site and an opportunity to provide feedback.

Tier 1: is the default status for all sites listed with potential housing units. Current Tier 1 total units (Neighborhood Areas + Special Areas) = 1,767 units.
Tier 2: represents sites that may be selected for inclusion with Tier 1.
Buffers are recommended by HCD because they assist City staff with meeting No Net Loss requirements, specifically to meet low and very low affordable housing unit allocations.

Neighborhood Area 1: Creston-Pharlap - 31 total units
The Creston-Pharlap neighborhood is a single- family residential area that includes the last remaining unincorporated pocket within the Cupertino urban service area.
Site 1a: 10231 Adriana Ave

● New General Plan Re-Designation Res 1-7.5
● Current Zoning designation R1-10
● New Zoning Designation R1-5
The parcel size in gross acres is 1.42. The New density (du/ac) may be 10. There is 1 existing unit and the net added units may equal 13. The maximum building height (stories) would be two. Rationale for density change is because it is a large site.

Additional methods to assist with meeting housing unit allocation:
Senate Bills: State laws that can be considered to meet RHNA Senate Bills 9 and 10 were passed in 2021 to enable increased flexibility for property owners and local governments to support construction of infill housing in areas that are already developed. Both laws apply to single-family zoned properties, and are optional. These laws respect the uniqueness for each lot and each City by enabling an ability for individuals and local governments to determine potential opportunities to increase the number of housing units in ways that align with community goals for the local built environment.
These descriptions are included to provide information for these options. For any SB-9 projects to count towards Cupertino’s 6th Cycle update, a letter of intent by each property owner interested in constructing this type of project would be helpful for HCD Sites Inventory compliance towards certification.
If you are a property owner interested in constructing units with SB-9 regulations, please sign-up to have your property included in this Sites List at https://rb.gy/2mz5eq.
Senate Bill 9 (SB - 9): Ability for property owners to add units for single-family zoned lots
SB 9 is intended to support increased supply of homes by encouraging building of smaller houses on existing or subdivided small lots. For SB-9 sites to be considered for the 6th Cycle Housing Element update, certain information must be gathered to demonstrate a reasonable expectation that committed units will be constructed within the eight-year cycle. SB-9 facilitates the creation of up to 4 housing units in the lot area typically used for 1 single-family home, through July 20, 2022 26

either adding a unit to the existing lot, or subdividing the lot to allow two units for each lot. Cities may limit the unit size to 800 square feet, but this is not required.
Only objective zoning standards, subdivision standards, and design standards can be applied. However, these standards cannot preclude the construction of two units of at least 800 square feet.
General requirements for lot splits: Each new lot must be at least 1,200 sq ft. • Lots must be split roughly in half – smaller lots must be at least 40% of the original lots. • A lot intended to be split cannot be created by a previous SB 9 lot split. • New lot divisions may not be adjacent to another lot that has been split using SB 9 by the same owner, or any person acting in concert with the owner. • Applicants must sign an affidavit stating they intend to live in one of the units for at least three years on a lot split, unless the applicant is a “community land trust” or a “qualified non-profit corporation” as defined by the Revenue and Taxation Code.
Senate Bill 10 (SB - 10): Ability for City to enable additional units for single-family zoned lots
Use of this law is optional for each City. This law enables the local government to approve up to a 10-unit multi-family building on lots currently zoned for single-family housing. City Council would need to pass a resolution to adopt a plan to use SB -10, and exempts that zoning action from being considered a project under the California Environmental Quality Act. When the local government passes this resolution, it can choose whether the individual projects will be ministerial/by right or subject to discretionary approval.
