PLEASE INCLUDE THIS EMAIL AND ALL ATTACHMENTS AS PART OF THE WRITTEN RECORD FOR THE ABOVE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM.

Dear Mayor Mohan and City Council Members,

Attached are 3 files:

File1-list of all BA and P(BA) parcels which total 25 parcels or 22 sites or 21 sites if P(BA) isn't included
File2-City Zoning Map with circles around all BA and P(BA) sites (turn on COMMENTS to see RED

CIRCLES)
File3-Heart of the City Zoning Map with circles around BA sites (turn on COMMENTS to see RED

CIRCLES)
Parcels/sites were found using the Cupertino Zoning Map and the Heart of the City Zoning Map.

ISSUE #1:

Staff Report said 23 sites. There are 19 sites on the Cupertino Zoning Map and 2 on the HOC Map.

That’s 21 sites. Where are the other 2 sites?
ISSUE #2:

There are 3 sites (Stevens Creek Elem, CHS, De Anza College) that are each 2-parcel sites so, is the Staff Report counting them as 3 “sites” or 6 “parcels”? If counting as sites the total is 21. If counting them as parcels the total is 24.

ISSUE #3:

It is unclear exactly which sites are being rezoned! There are 2 BA sites on the Cupertino Zoning Map that are NOT a whole separate parcel but a portion of a park (Franco Park and Creekside Park).

Are these being rezoned?
If these sites are mistakes in the zoning map then 21 sites – 2 mistakes = 19 sites.

ISSUE #4:

It is not clear if the rezoning applies to P(BA) sites! If it does not, then the count of sites goes down by one.

The unknown identity of the exact sites being rezoned was brought up during the first reading and it was ignored!
PLEASE stop this process and re-start it correctly. A conditional use permit rather than re-zoning everything would be a cleaner way of approaching this.

Sincerely,
Peggy Griffin

Dear City Council,

Regarding Cupertino City Council 2/6/2024 Agenda #7 Second reading of Municipal Code Amendment to Chapter 19.76 to allow privately operated educational uses and privately operated public serving uses in the BA zoning district.

You are being asked tonight to change the zoning of 372 acres of our publicly- owned lands.

Please say no.

You are also being asked tonight to have only one person on staff to make a subjective decision on land-use without study or public input.

Please say no.

The proposed new uses are subject to interpretation, the proposed ordinance states “privately operated public serving uses.” Our zoning should not be vague.

Please say no.

Please do not take away the public’s rights to our public land. VOTE NOT ON ITEM #7.

Lack of Transparency:

On December 5, you were bamboozled into believing that you were making a decision affecting only the Regnart school property in a packed agenda, but in fact would change the zoning of 372 acres of public land. Furthermore, staff failed to comply with the request to provide a list of impacted properties. How can you make a sweeping decision without this information? It took me 5 minutes to generate the attached list of BA and planned BA -zoned properties, comprising of 28 parcels among 22 listed addresses. The attached pdf is the output from the City’s zoning tool; I added the total square-footage at the bottom, which adds up to 372 acres. You can look at the zoning maps here:
https://www.cupertino.org/our-city/departments/community- development/planning/zoning In your packet, you will find that another resident has painstakingly circled the impacted properties – a job that should have been done by staff.

Transparency is our top strategic goal in our budget document. See page 29 of our adopted budget: https://apps.cupertino.org/pdf/FY_2023-24_Adopted_Budget.pdf Public Engagement and Transparency
Creating and maintaining key conversations and interactions with the Cupertino Community

For your reference, these are the vague uses that would be added to BA-zoned properties to be decided by one person:
“Privately operated educational uses and privately operated public serving uses, including, but not limited to, day care and private educational facilities, which, in the opinion of the Director of Community Development, are similar to the permitted uses in the BA zoning district, and which do not create significant adverse impacts to the surrounding area.”

I am ashamed and appalled that our City’s leadership would consider a change to our municipal code that would mute its constituents.

1. VOTE NO ON #7

2. To allow the private-use at the Regnart school site, consider permitting it via a Conditional Use Permit rather than the zoning of 372 acres of publicly-owned land

Sincerely,
Rhoda Fry

Dear Cupertino city council staff,
I would like to raise serious concern on the agenda item#7 on the consent calendar.

This is a major change that IMO requires additional public hearing and discussions.

In particular we have seen CUSD closed public schools and now the schools are rented to private schools for a profit. Schools and many other public use facilities are important parts of local residents' life and it seems inappropriate to establish such fast-track process without any community involvement.

This comes at a very sensitive time for the very concerning community, where CUSD schools were just closed even with strong objections from the local community. And FUHSD are also pondering changes with potential negative impacts on some Cupertino schools.

I respectfully urge you to object this item during the Feb.06 meeting, and vote against similar BA rezoning proposals. Thank you in advance.

Best regards, X. Yang

Dear Mayor Sheila and city council,
I urge you to take agenda item 7 for the 02/06 council meeting off consent calendar and open up to council and public discussion. Following the discussion I implore you to please reject the agenda item 7. Please do not perform a mass change of allowed use on all BA zoned properties. Please do not change allowed use of city hall, library, community hall, DeAnza College, all Cupertino public schools, all Cupertino fire stations, water tank infrastructure sites.

Please uphold checks and balances in the city and do not allow such massive changes never seen ever before in one swoop.

Any change needed specifically for Regnart to enable Tesselations use can be specific to that site by a conditional use permit.

I urge you to reject this change to the muni code and vote against this change of allowed use on BA zoned properties.

There has been a lot of concern lately about school closures and schools being given away to private operators.

To reduce further angst in the community about such expanded use of public land located in Cupertino kindly reject agenda item 7 for the 02/06 council meeting.

Thank you in advance for doing the people’s work and being our voice and representing us, the residents of Cupertino.

Dear officer,
Thank you for your kind help in advance.

I am a resident living in Cupertino city. I just got to know from my friend that tmr there would be vote regarding change use for all BA properties. As a resident in Cupertino city, I highly disagree this change, but any change should be limited to conditional use permit for Tesslations only at regnart campus.

Please take agenda item 7 off from the consent calendar. I and my families and other families will actively follow up on this. And please feel free to let us know if any questions or materials needed regarding this request.

Thanks a lot.

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.

Dear Mayor Sheila and Esteemed Members of the City Council, I am writing to respectfully request that you consider removing agenda item 7 from the upcoming 02/06 council meeting's consent calendar and allow for a comprehensive discussion involving both the council and the public. After this thorough discussion, I sincerely implore you to reconsider and ultimately reject agenda item 7.

It is my firm belief that implementing a mass change in the allowed use of all BA zoned properties, including significant locations like the city hall, library, community hall, DeAnza College, all Cupertino public schools, and the fire stations, as well as water tank infrastructure sites, is a decision of unparalleled magnitude. Such a sweeping alteration has the potential to disrupt the well-established checks and balances within our city and would introduce changes on a scale previously unseen.

I propose that if there is a specific need for modifications to accommodate Tesselations at the Regnart site, this should be addressed through a tailored conditional use permit that pertains exclusively to that location. This approach would maintain the necessary flexibility without compromising the integrity of the entire muni code.

Given the recent concerns within our community regarding school closures and the potential transfer of public institutions to private entities, I believe it is crucial to avoid further distress among our residents by endorsing such an expansive change in the use of public land within Cupertino. Therefore, I earnestly request that agenda item 7 for the 02/06 council meeting be declined.

I want to express my gratitude in advance for your dedication to serving the interests of the people and for representing us, the proud residents of Cupertino.

Sincerely,
Changdao

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.

Dear Mayor Sheila and city council,
As a lifelong Cupertino resident and former Regnart Elementary student, I write to respectfully request the removal of agenda item 7 from the upcoming 02/06 council meeting's consent calendar, and to urge its consideration through open dialogue with both council and public stakeholders. After thorough discussion, I implore you to reject agenda item 7.

It is paramount that we avoid a sweeping alteration of permitted land use across all BA zoned properties, including but not limited to city hall, the library, community hall, DeAnza College, all Cupertino public schools, fire stations, and water tank infrastructure sites. Such a comprehensive change without precedent warrants careful scrutiny to ensure the preservation of our city's checks and balances.

Should there be specific adjustments necessary for Regnart to accommodate Tesselations use, I propose that these be addressed through a conditional use permit tailored to that site.

I strongly advocate against the proposed modification to the municipal code and urge you to vote against the alteration of allowed land use within BA zoned properties.

Given recent concerns regarding school closures and potential transfers to private entities, it is imperative that we alleviate community apprehension by refraining from further expansion of public land use. Consequently, I implore you to reject agenda item 7 for the 02/06 council meeting.

Thank you for your dedication to serving the interests of Cupertino's residents and for your commitment to upholding transparency and accountability within our city governance.

Respectfully,
Mark

Dear Mayor Sheila and city council,
I urge you to take agenda item 7 for the 02/06 council meeting off consejt calendar and open up to council and public discussion. Following the discussion I implore you to please reject the agenda item 7. Please do not perform a mass change of allowed use on all BA zoned properties. Please do not change allowed use of city hall, library, community hall, DeAnza College, all Cupertino public schools, all Cupertino fire stations, water tank infrastructure sites.

Please uphold checks and balances in the city and do not allow such massive changes never seen ever before in one swoop.

Any change needed specifically for Regnart to enable Tesselations use can be specific to that site by a conditional use permit.

I urge you to reject this change to the muni code and vote against this change of allowed use on BA zoned properties.

There has been a lot of concern lately about school closures and schools being given away to private operators.

To reduce further angst in the community about such expanded use of public land located in Cupertino kindly reject agenda item 7 for the 02/06 council meeting.

Thank you in advance for doing the people’s work and being our voice and representing us, the residents of Cupertino.

Thanks,

Dear Mayor Sheila Mohan and Honorable Members of the Cupertino City Council, My name is Srividya Sundaresan. I have been a resident of Cupertino for almost 15 years. I would like to voice my concern about the future of Cupertino public schools and all the public facilities in Cupertino.

There has been a lot of disquiet in our community lately about school closures and schools being given away to private operators. To address this, I urge you to take agenda item 7 for the 02/06 council meeting off consent calendar and open it up to council and public discussion.

After the discussion, I implore you to please reject item 7. Please do not perform such a massive change of allowed use on all BA zoned properties. Please do not change allowed use of city hall, library, community hall, all Cupertino public schools, all Cupetino fire stations, water tank infrastructure sites. Please uphold checks and balances in the city and do not allow such massive change ever seen before in one swoop.

Any change needed specifically for Regnart to enable Tessellations use can be specific to that one site by a conditional use permit.

We all know that once public property is given away/sold to private operators, it will never come back into the public domain again. This is a one way street and let us not lose our public lands to private parties. Please kindly reject agenda item number 7 for the 02/06 council meeting.

Thank you in advance for listening to our community's voice and representing us, the residents of Cupertino.

Best regards,

Dear Mayor Mohan,

It has come to my attention that you plan on voting tonight to amend Chapter 19.76 to allow privately operated educational uses and privately operated public serving uses in the BA zoning district. This is NOT ACCEPTABLE.

This country was founded on Public resources. Public highway system, Public schools, Public parks and recreational facilities, Public transportation systems. These institutions were created so that everyone could participate from all walks of life. Now, you are trying to take a lot of that away from the residents of Cupertino, so a few can benefit while more are left out.

We do not want our schools and recreational facilities privatized for the benefit of the few.

Privatization means fewer people will be able to afford these public resources. I urge you to support Public resources in the city and not cave to privatization pressures. That’s not what this country was founded on.

Regards,

Jack Meyer

Dear City Council members,
Please pull agenda item 7 from the consent calendar so it is on agenda to be discussed by council with public comments on this item.

There needs to be transparency and public response to such an important decision about our City's public land. We taxpayers must be allowed to understand the what, why and wherefore about this decision, including all the details.

To my thinking, any decisions about each plot of land should be considered on it's own, only when a viable zone change is justified by another actual usage.

Dear Mayor Sheila and city council,
I am a long time resident of cupertino and reaching out to you as the elected members of the council. I am concerned with what is being propsed in Item 7 as this is not how democracy works! I am not sure why any city administration requires such sweeping controls over our public lands, and how we can check and balance against their intentions with these.

Public lands are not "for profit" and never have been.

Without checking in on every intention for every piece of our lands, are we willing to instate a autocracy of some sort?
Respectfully please remember your position as our elected official is to represent us and address our concerns first and foremost. This is one of those critical times in the history of our city.

Mayor Mohan, VM Fruen and City Councilmembers,

I am, once again, grateful for public comments submitted for your review.

In particular, I am happy to have seen and read public comments on Consent Item #7 that were submitted to this body by Rhoda Fry, Peggy Griffin and others. I watched, with great frustration and concern, the discussion of your December 5, 2023 item #10. Councilmember Chao had some excellent points and reasonable requests to improve the ‘meat’ of the resolution. Staff response was less than convincing.

I do not feel that tonight's Item 7 is ready for a quick confirmation. (Please pull consent item 7. ) I would like to hear, and see added to the resolution, (1)a better definition of "Public Serving Uses", and (2)a very specific list of the identification of the city's current BA zoned sites, along with a proper map.

I remember staff member(s) conceding that the current language was not clear yet that did not seem to be a concern staff was willing to correct.

To me, that is a problem. Our community has been 'burned' by similar 'problems' in our sometimes too ‘vague’ municipal code, and I don't think there should be room made for 'problems' in the future.

We all know that zoning can, and will be, changed within the city. There is nothing to say that additional BA sites will not be created in the future.

There are very real reasons for the current BA sites to be properly identified within this proposed resolution being considered for it's second reading.

I hold little hope that my requests here will be honored, but I did need to put them in writing.

This would be a great time to show your interest in improving 'governance' while considering the three prongs… Council, Staff and Residents.

Lisa Warren

Subject: Urgent Request Regarding Agenda Item 7 for 02/06 Council Meeting Date: Tuesday, February 6, 2024 6:09:20 PM
CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.

Dear Mayor Sheila and esteemed members of the Cupertino City Council, I write to urgently implore you to reconsider agenda item 7 scheduled for the upcoming council meeting on February 6th. Specifically, I urge you to remove this item from the consent calendar and allow for open discussion among the council and the public.

Agenda item 7 proposes a mass change of allowed use on all BA zoned properties, including significant landmarks such as city hall, the library, community hall, DeAnza College, all Cupertino public schools, and fire stations, among others. Such sweeping changes to our city's infrastructure warrant thorough deliberation and public input.

I respectfully request that you uphold the principles of checks and balances within our city governance by refraining from implementing such unprecedented changes in one fell swoop.

Instead, I suggest that any necessary modifications, particularly concerning the Regnart site for Tesselations use, be addressed through specific conditional use permits tailored to individual locations.

Furthermore, I urge you to consider the recent concerns within our community regarding school closures and the potential transfer of public schools to private operators. Approving agenda item 7 without thorough examination and community engagement risks exacerbating existing anxieties among Cupertino residents.

In the interest of fostering transparency, accountability, and preserving the integrity of our public spaces, I implore you to reject agenda item 7 and vote against the proposed changes to the municipal code regarding allowed use on BA zoned properties.

Thank you for your dedication to serving the interests of the people of Cupertino. Your thoughtful consideration of this matter is greatly appreciated, and I trust that you will act in the best interests of our community.

Sincerely,
Richelle

Dear Mayor Sheila Mohan and Honorable Members of the Cupertino City Council,
My name is Srikantan Nagarajan. I have been a resident of Cupertino for almost 15 years. I would like to voice my concern about the future of Cupertino public schools and all the public facilities in Cupertino.

There has been a lot of disquiet in our community lately about school closures and schools being given away to private operators. To address this, I urge you to take agenda item 7 for the 02/06 council meeting off consent calendar and open it up to council and public discussion. After the discussion, I implore you to please reject item 7. Please do not perform such a massive change of allowed use on all BA zoned properties. Please do not change allowed use of city hall, library, community hall, all Cupertino public schools, all Cupetino fire stations, water tank infrastructure sites. Please uphold checks and balances in the city and do not allow such massive change ever seen before in one swoop.

Any change needed specifically for Regnart to enable Tessellations use can be specific to that one site by a conditional use permit.

We all know that once public property is given away/sold to private operators, it will never come back into the public domain again. This is a one way street and let us not lose our public lands to private parties. Please kindly reject agenda item number 7 for the 02/06 council meeting.

Thank you in advance for listening to our community's voice and representing us, the residents of Cupertino.

Best regards,
Dr. Srikantan Nagarajan
