Please include the following along with the attached PDF for Written Communications for Item 2 of the Planning Commission meeting November 12, 2025:
The United Furniture/Idlewild/East Estates Dr. Project is on Geotracker and the uploaded documents may be found here: https://geotracker.waterboards.ca.gov/profile_report? global_id=T10000021095
The Placeworks Categorical Exemption Memo (Category 32) and the Cupertino Staff Report do not contain a complete record and the most recent information regarding the site contamination. The most recent, October 20, 2025 letter from SCCDEH, for instance, is attached and an excerpt is here:
"The Department of Environmental Health (DEH) has reviewed the Revised 2025 Second Quarter Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE) Progress Report (Report) prepared by Terraphase Engineering and dated September 30, 2025. The Report documents operational parameters of the SVE system and soil vapor concentrations of tetrachloroethene (PCE) at several sampling locations across the site. DEH accepts the Report.
The Report states “Current PCE concentrations in the subsurface are well below levels of concern and are expected to be effectively mitigated by a properly installed vapor mitigation system, which will protect future occupants living at the Site.” The DEH does not agree with this statement. The current concentrations of PCE reported beneath the site exceed the Environmental Screening Level (ESL) for both commercial and residential land uses by one to two orders of magnitude and continue to represent a risk for vapor intrusion." The above mentioned letter is linked here:
https://documents.geotracker.waterboards.ca.gov/regulators/deliverable_documents/4966718375/20251020_Revised%20SVE%20Progress%20Report_2023-17s.pdf Another report was due to the Regulator on October 31, 2025 and another in January, 2026.
Placeworks accessed the Geotracker records May 5, 2025 for this site according to their Memo page 63: State Water Resources Control Board, 2024, GeoTracker, https://geotracker.waterboards.ca.gov/profile_report.asp?global_id=T10000021095, accessed May 5, 2025.

Dear Mr. Castello,
The Department of Environmental Health (DEH) has reviewed the Revised 2025 Second Quarter Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE) Progress Report (Report) prepared by Terraphase Engineering and dated September 30, 2025.
The Report documents operational parameters of the SVE system and soil vapor concentrations of tetrachloroethene (PCE) at several sampling locations across the site. DEH accepts the Report.
The Report states “Current PCE concentrations in the subsurface are well below levels of concern and are expected to be effectively mitigated by a properly installed vapor mitigation system, which will protect future occupants living at the Site.” The DEH does not agree with this statement. The current concentrations of PCE reported beneath the site exceed the Environmental Screening Level (ESL) for both commercial and residential land uses by one to two orders of magnitude and continue to represent a risk for vapor intrusion.
The Report also states “Both SVE wells (SVE-01 and SVE-02) will continue to operate with the system running.
A second rebound test is planned for later this year in anticipation that the results will show the PCE mass remaining in the ground is no longer a significant threat to human health or the environment.” The DEH requires written notification of when the SVE system will be shutdown to initiate a second rebound test. Please note that in order to adequately demonstrate that soil vapor concentrations have reached equilibrium, the SVE rebound monitoring period shall last a minimum of six months after SVE shutdown with a minimum of three soil vapor sampling events during the rebound monitoring period. 2096

Dear Planning Commission and Staff,
On the United Furniture project site there was a dry cleaners that leaked and caused contamination. The status of this contamination is still OPEN IN REMEDIATION so it has not corrected the problem. The Staff Report does not mention anything regarding this issue with the land or the planned mitigation.
REQUEST: Please postpone approval until the mitigation has been completed.
Below is the detailed information regarding this site. I have also attached a picture of the map showing the location of both the dry cleaners and the 3 LUST sites.

Dear Chairman Rao, Vice Chair Kosolcharoen, Commisorer Fun, Commissioner Lindskog, and Commissioner Schart,
I noticed that the United Furniture housing site is on the agenda for approval and am concerned about this site. As you know, the site housed a dry cleaning facility and chemicals from dry cleaning can be extremely toxic. One chemical in particular can cause heart damage to a fetus if the mother is exposed to the chemical during the earliest stage of pregnancy.
While I think the idea of townhouses is lovely, it should not come at the expense of future residents' health. Please ensure the project is remediated before granting approval.
Thank you and best regards,
Brooke Ezzat

By email: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected];
CC: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected];
Dear Cupertino Planning Commission,
The California Housing Defense Fund (“CalHDF”) submits this letter to remind the City of its obligation to abide by all relevant state laws when evaluating the proposed 55-unit housing development project at 10075 E. Estates & 19610 Stevens Creek Blvd, which includes 6 median-income units and 5 moderate-income units. These laws include the Housing Accountability Act (“HAA”), the Density Bonus Law (“DBL”), Housing Element Law, AB 130, and California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) guidelines.
The HAA provides the project legal protections. It requires approval of zoning and general plan compliant housing development projects unless findings can be made regarding specific, objective, written health and safety hazards. (Gov. Code, § 65589.5, subds. (j).) The HAA also bars cities from imposing conditions on the approval of such projects that would reduce the project’s density unless, again, such written findings are made. (Ibid.) As a development with at least two-thirds of its area devoted to residential uses, the project falls within the HAA’s ambit, and it complies with local zoning code and the City’s general plan.
Increased density, concessions, and waivers that a project is entitled to under the DBL (Gov.
Code, § 65915) do not render the project noncompliant with the zoning code or general plan, for purposes of the HAA (Gov. Code, § 65589.5, subd. (j)(3)). The HAA’s protections therefore apply, and the City may not reject the project except based on health and safety standards, as outlined above. Furthermore, if the City rejects the project or impairs its feasibility, it must conduct “a thorough analysis of the economic, social, and environmental effects of the action.” (Id. at subd. (b).)

CC 12-16-2025

CalHDF also writes to emphasize that the DBL offers the proposed development certain protections. The City must respect these protections. In addition to granting the increase in residential units allowed by the DBL, the City must not deny the project the proposed waivers and concessions with respect to side and rear setbacks, building forms, lot coverage, retail requirements, mixed-use requirements, and common area design. If the City wishes to deny requested waivers, Government Code section 65915, subdivision (e)(1) requires findings that the waivers would have a specific, adverse impact upon health or safety, and for which there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact. If the City wishes to deny requested concessions, Government Code section 65915, subdivision (d)(1) requires findings that the concessions would not result in identifiable and actual cost reductions, that the concessions would have a specific, adverse impact on public health or safety, or that the concessions are contrary to state or federal law. The City, if it makes any such findings, bears the burden of proof. (Gov. Code, § 65915, subd. (d)(4).) Of note, the DBL specifically allows for a reduction in required accessory parking in addition to the allowable waivers and concessions. (Id. at subd. (p).) Additionally, the California Court of Appeal has ruled that when an applicant has requested one or more waivers and/or concessions pursuant to the DBL, the City “may not apply any development standard that would physically preclude construction of that project as designed, even if the building includes ‘amenities’ beyond the bare minimum of building components.” (Bankers Hill 150 v. City of San Diego (2022) 74 Cal.App.5th 755, 775.)
CalHDF would like to remind the City of its responsibilities under the “no net loss” provisions of the Housing Element Law. Government Code 65863, subdivision (c)(2):
If the approval of a development project results in fewer units by income category than identified in the jurisdiction’s housing element for that parcel and the jurisdiction does not find that the remaining sites in the housing element are adequate to accommodate the jurisdiction’s share of the regional housing need by income level, the jurisdiction shall within 180 days identify and make available additional adequate sites to accommodate the jurisdiction’s share of the regional housing need by income level. Nothing in this section shall authorize a city, county, or city and county to disapprove a housing development project on the basis that approval of the housing project would require compliance with this paragraph. (Emphasis added.) The Housing Element Law does not allow the City to disapprove the project based on the “no net loss” issues identified in the staff report. Rather, the City must within 180 days make available additional sites to accommodate the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation.
Finally, the project is exempt from state environmental review under the Class 32 CEQA categorical exemption (In-Fill Development Projects) pursuant to section 15332 of the CEQA 2 of 3
2107
CC 12-16-2025
2107 of 2165
Guidelines, as the project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as the applicable zoning designation and regulations; the proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses; the project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species; approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality; and the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. The project is also likely eligible for a statutory exemption from CEQA pursuant to AB 130 (Pub. Res. Code, § 21080.66), which was signed into law on June 30, 2025 and effective immediately (Assembly Bill No. 130, 2025-2026 Regular Session, Sec. 74, available here). Caselaw from the California Court of Appeal affirms that local governments err, and may be sued, when they improperly refuse to grant a project a CEQA exemption or streamlined CEQA review to which it is entitled. (Hilltop Group, Inc. v. County of San Diego (2024) 99 Cal.App.5th 890, 911.) As you are well aware, California remains in the throes of a statewide crisis-level housing shortage. New housing such as this is a public benefit: by providing affordable housing, it will mitigate the state’s homelessness crisis; it will increase the city’s tax base; it will bring new customers to local businesses; and it will reduce displacement of existing residents by reducing competition for existing housing. It will also help cut down on transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions by providing housing in denser, more urban areas, as opposed to farther-flung regions in the state (and out of state). While no one project will solve the statewide housing crisis, the proposed development is a step in the right direction. CalHDF urges the City to approve it, consistent with its obligations under state law.
CalHDF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation whose mission includes advocating for increased access to housing for Californians at all income levels, including low-income households. You may learn more about CalHDF at www.calhdf.org.

Dear Planning Commission:
(Please consider the following comments as public input for Item Number 2 on the Cupertino Planning Commission agenda for 11/12/25).
The proposed housing complex at the United Furniture site is being heard at the Planning Commission Meeting as Item Number 2 on November 12, 2025. I have a few comments about the proposed project.
1. There were no outreach meetings about this project to the public. This is a high visibility project As it concerns the Wolfe/Miller Corridor and Stevens Creek Blvd. It is also directly across the street From The Rise/Vallco which has been a major point of concern over the years for the adjacent neighborhoods.
2. I am very happy there has been serious attempts to honor the Stevens Creek Blvd. Heart of the City Plans as the project fronts along a major section of Stevens Creek Blvd. HOC was established to provide and retain a certain green, leafy look and feel to Stevens Creek Blvd. and it is indeed a refreshing site to behold as you enter the city from areas where there might be no trees or greenery.
Wolfe/Miller is a major north/south travel corridor from other places and people travel through this Area as they continue to other cities. It is important to maintain this green tranquil corridor and I feel the proposed project had tried to do this. Green and leafy and green setbacks is much the Codeword for HOC.
3. I am very glad that there are at least two parking spaces for each of the 55 proposed housing units.
These are large living units and they will have families or possibly three to four individuals per unit. There needs to be adequate room to have several cars per unit. The selling price point of these units justify this as well as practicality. If you have a three to four bedroom housing unit, there will Be at least two to three cars per unit. I am concerned that there will not be enough visitor parking.
I think there are only eight extra parking spaces. These will be quickly taken up and you don't Want the overflow parking in the neighborhoods or at the adjacent shopping centers. I think It would be nice to have at least 15 extra parking spaces. There are problems with parking at Westport by Mary Avenue and Stevens Creek Blvd. One hopes that parking will not be a problem at the United Furniture site.
4. I am confused about the adus being part of this project. There are nine adus being proposed for this project. I am assuming the adus belong to a town house? Are the adus sold with the townhouse? Do the adus have kitchens? Who will live in them? Do the townhouse owners rent them out for extra income? Will the townhouses with adus sell for more money? What about the affordable townhouses with adus? They are supposed to sell to income restricted individuals or families with Lower incomes. If there is an adu as part of this affordable townhouse, what happens to the adu? Does the low income owner get to rent the adu out and will the adu be under rent control too? The townhouse owner in the income restricted units should not be able to rent the adu out at market rate. The city needs to watch how these adus are handled. The adus should only be rented To low income people and not become Airbnbs. There should be monitoring of this.
Also, will the adus have parking spaces? The eight extra visitor parking spaces mentioned above Should not be just for the adus. There needs to be more parking on site. 2109

2109 of 2165
5. What is the proposed number of children from this complex and how will that affect adjacent Schools? What schools will these children attend? Will they have to cross Stevens Creek Blvd.?
6. I am very concerned about the overwhelming loss of retail in Cupertino, especially along Stevens Creek Blvd. I am worried about the city becoming a food desert and a shopping desert.
I wish this project had retail in it.
7. I hope the United Furniture project will not create a traffic flow problem on Stevens Creek Blvd., especially by the entrance to Stevens Creek from East Estates and by the gas station. It is already very congested at this area and the adjacent intersections now.
8. Please use harmonious colors on this housing unit complex. Red and bright yellow are not Good choices for this area. Subdued and elegant are always much appreciated.
Thank you to everyone for trying to make this project a success and a very classy and beautiful Addition to our precious Cupertino.
Thank you.

refreshing site to behold as you enter the city from areas where there might be no trees or greenery.
Wolfe/Miller is a major north/south travel corridor from other places and people travel through this
Area as they continue to other cities. It is important to maintain this green tranquil corridor and
I feel the proposed project had tried to do this. Green and leafy and green setbacks is much the Codeword for HOC.
3. I am very glad that there are at least two parking spaces for each of the 55 proposed housing units.
These are large living units and they will have families or possibly three to four individuals per
unit. There needs to be adequate room to have several cars per unit. The selling price point of these
units justify this as well as practicality. If you have a three to four bedroom housing unit, there will
Be at least two to three cars per unit. I am concerned that there will not be enough visitor parking.
I think there are only eight extra parking spaces. These will be quickly taken up and you don't Want the overflow parking in the neighborhoods or at the adjacent shopping centers. I think It would be nice to have at least 15 extra parking spaces. There are problems with parking at Westport by Mary Avenue and Stevens Creek Blvd. One hopes that parking will not be a problem
at the United Furniture site.
4. I am confused about the adus being part of this project. There are nine adus being proposed for
this project. I am assuming the adus belong to a town house? Are the adus sold with the townhouse?
Do the adus have kitchens? Who will live in them? Do the townhouse owners rent them out for
extra income? Will the townhouses with adus sell for more money? What about the affordable townhouses with adus? They are supposed to sell to income restricted individuals or families with
Lower incomes. If there is an adu as part of this affordable townhouse, what happens to the adu?
Does the low income owner get to rent the adu out and will the adu be under rent control too? The townhouse owner in the income restricted units should not be able to rent the adu out at market rate. The city needs to watch how these adus are handled. The adus should only be rented
To low income people and not become Airbnbs. There should be monitoring of this.
Also, will the adus have parking spaces? The eight extra visitor parking spaces mentioned above
Should not be just for the adus. There needs to be more parking on site.
5. What is the proposed number of children from this complex and how will that affect adjacent
Schools? What schools will these children attend? Will they have to cross Stevens Creek 2112

Blvd.?
6. I am very concerned about the overwhelming loss of retail in Cupertino, especially along Stevens Creek Blvd. I am worried about the city becoming a food desert and a shopping desert.
I wish this project had retail in it.
7. I hope the United Furniture project will not create a traffic flow problem on Stevens Creek Blvd.,
especially by the entrance to Stevens Creek from East Estates and by the gas station. It is already
very congested at this area and the adjacent intersections now.
8. Please use harmonious colors on this housing unit complex. Red and bright yellow are not Good choices for this area. Subdued and elegant are always much appreciated.
Thank you to everyone for trying to make this project a success and a very classy and beautiful
Addition to our precious Cupertino.
Thank you.

Dear Planning Commissioners,
I am beyond shocked that the City is considering to agree to a categorical CEQA exemption for this project given that the hazmat clean-up for this site is incomplete. In my opinion, this puts our City at legal risk and certainly puts our residents at health risk. You can find all of the documents and studies pertaining to this property at this link on GeoTracker. Please do not consider this project to be CEQA exempt. There are many documents that you can peruse here:
https://geotracker.waterboards.ca.gov/profile_report.asp?global_id=T10000021095 I have attached a couple of documents related to the site. The first attachment appears to be the oldest document on the site where the property owner is well-aware of the issues. The second attachment appears to be the newest document on the site, dated October 20, 2025, where the County Department of Environmental Health is in disagreement with the findings of the developer’s subcontractors.
Furthermore, because of a history of hazmat, this project is by default on the Cortese list, which, to my knowledge, restricts CEQA exemptions.
Furthermore, Cupertino is becoming less walkable. I am disappointed by the lack of proposed retail. At that site, there had been a supermarket and later a fabric store. I loved to walk there when I moved to Cupertino and lived on Miller nearby. In fact, for the first year and a half that I lived in Cupertino, I did not have a car. Similarly, my own neighborhood in Monta Vista, there had been a Supermarket and a Hardware Store and later a green grocer. Now all gone.
Having retail is important for our sales-tax base – for every $100 spent on taxable goods, Cupertino receives $1. And it is important for property values and property-tax-revenue to the City. And most importantly, it is vital for quality-of-life. Isn’t that why we chose to live in Cupertino?
Thanks Much,
Rhoda Fry

Dear Mr. Castello,
The Department of Environmental Health (DEH) has reviewed the Revised 2025 Second Quarter Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE) Progress Report (Report) prepared by Terraphase Engineering and dated September 30, 2025.
The Report documents operational parameters of the SVE system and soil vapor concentrations of tetrachloroethene (PCE) at several sampling locations across the site. DEH accepts the Report.
The Report states “Current PCE concentrations in the subsurface are well below levels of concern and are expected to be effectively mitigated by a properly installed vapor mitigation system, which will protect future occupants living at the Site.” The DEH does not agree with this statement. The current concentrations of PCE reported beneath the site exceed the Environmental Screening Level (ESL) for both commercial and residential land uses by one to two orders of magnitude and continue to represent a risk for vapor intrusion.
The Report also states “Both SVE wells (SVE-01 and SVE-02) will continue to operate with the system running.
A second rebound test is planned for later this year in anticipation that the results will show the PCE mass remaining in the ground is no longer a significant threat to human health or the environment.” The DEH requires written notification of when the SVE system will be shutdown to initiate a second rebound test. Please note that in order to adequately demonstrate that soil vapor concentrations have reached equilibrium, the SVE rebound monitoring period shall last a minimum of six months after SVE shutdown with a minimum of three soil vapor sampling events during the rebound monitoring period. 2120

Executive Summary
Since 2011, the City Council has considered multiple options to address the aging and seismically deficient City Hall facility. Following prior direction to pursue a comprehensive renovation in 2022, subsequent exploration of a new facility in 2023, and inclusion of City Hall Improvements renovation project (Project) in the FY 2025–2027 City Work Program, staff is requesting Council to confirm Project direction, review updated cost and implementation information, and allocate financial and staff resources for the Project. This report provides an overview of the design-build process, the advantages of undertaking this method, and an outline of the next steps.
2127
CC 12-16-2025
2127 of 2165
Background
Since 2011, the City Council has held numerous discussions regarding the long-term future of the existing City Hall facility. The current facility, originally constructed in 1965 and renovated in 1986, did not receive seismic upgrades consistent with the 1985 Uniform Building Code during its renovation. This deficiency was discovered in 2005. Subsequent structural analyses conducted in 2011, 2012, 2014, and 2021 identified significant seismic deficiencies, and these findings were presented to the City Council.
The 2012 Civic Center Master Plan, along with the 2018 and 2022 Facility Condition Assessment reports, further concluded that much of the building’s mechanical, electrical, and plumbing infrastructure—as well as its fire, life-safety, and technology systems—have exceeded their useful service life. In addition, insufficient space and parking for both employees and members of the public remain persistent challenges.
Since 2005, the City has initiated several efforts to address the condition and functionality of the existing City Hall; however, these initiatives have not advanced to implementation. The four most recent Council actions are summarized below.
A. November 2022 – Direction on City Hall Renovation
In March 2021, the City acquired the property located at 10455 Torre Avenue (City Hall Annex) to serve as a customer-facing facility during City Hall Improvement project work and to accommodate potential future programmatic needs. On October 18, 2022, the Council amended the City Hall Annex project scope to include programming, design, and construction of the building as the City’s Permit Center and Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The City Hall Annex renovation project is currently underway.
On November 15, 2022, following recommendations from the Council Subcommittee on City Hall, the City Council directed staff to proceed with a renovation of the City Hall Improvements Project at a Risk Category IV level, representing a higher standard of seismic reinforcement than that required for a typical office building. The approved project scope included a comprehensive seismic retrofit, full replacement of core infrastructure systems, and complete interior rehabilitation of the existing facility. The estimated design and construction cost was projected at $27.5 million, exclusive of additional owner-related expenses such as hazardous materials remediation, testing and inspections, and interim staff relocation.
B. February 2023 – Direction to Explore a New Facility
On February 21, 2023, the City Council directed staff to suspend all work related to the City Hall Improvement project. The Council further instructed staff to explore options for the construction of a new City Hall facility that could incorporate flexible event and community programming space and to evaluate the potential inclusion of other City-owned properties within this analysis. This action represented a strategic shift from renovation of the existing facility toward the development of a new civic building.
C. March 2025 – FY 2025–2027 City Work Program
In November 2024, the City commenced the FY 2025–2027 City Work Program (CWP) process through the Council’s Goal Setting and Prioritization Workshop. On March 18, 2025, the City 2128
CC 12-16-2025
2128 of 2165
Council approved the final list of priority initiatives for inclusion in the FY 2025–26 adopted budget. Item 13 of the approved CWP—titled “City Hall Retrofit and City Hall Annex Renovation including the EOC”—directs staff to implement the previously approved 2022 Council direction for the City Hall Improvements project, with EOC migration to the City Hall Annex, as referenced in Item A above.
D. April 2025 – FY 2025–2026 Capital Improvement Programs Proposal When the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) was presented in April 2025, the Council provided the following specific direction pertaining to the City Hall and City Hall Annex projects, which informs the current discussion:
• City Hall Annex project to move forward with 100% design • City Hall renovation project to come back in October/November, including financing options, cost-benefit analysis
Within the April 2025 CIP proposal to Council, a very short summary of the options to renovate or reconstruct City Hall was included in the package. It was noted that if Council wishes to activate the City Hall project,
a. Additional funding for design and construction, and additional staffing would be required.
b. Direction on the scope of work would be required (see below).
Reasons for Recommendation and Available Options
The Recommended Actions are organized into three primary categories:
1. Scope, including Costs and Schedule
2. Budget and Staffing Resources
3. Design-Build Process
The sections that follow provide detailed information within each category. Additional options for consideration follows, and the report concludes with a summary of Next Steps.
1. Scope, Costs and Schedule
Council’s direction from the CWP item and subsequent discussions indicates a preference to renovate the existing City Hall facility rather than construct a replacement building. Prior Council direction also identified further scope delineations as outlined in the four points below.
Staff recommendations in this report are based on the direction received from Council in November 2022, and those preferences remain unchanged. The scope, schedule, and financial proposals presented here are aligned with these preferences. At the end of this report, staff has outlined alternate scope and cost options for Council to consider. a. Risk Category IV Renovation of Structural System
The facility will be renovated to meet the standards of an Essential Services facility (Risk Category IV), rather than the lower Risk Category II designation typical for commercial office buildings. Although the City Hall Annex will serve as the City’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC), Council determined in 2022 that upgrading City Hall to Essential Services standards (Risk Category IV) was warranted. The cost differential, approximately $3 million, was 2129
CC 12-16-2025
2129 of 2165
considered reasonable given the community benefit of maintaining a facility capable of operating during emergency events.
b. Maintain Current Footprint: Reconfigure Interior, no vertical or horizontal expansion.
The project will maintain the existing building footprint, without adding new stories or expanding the structure for future occupancy. Instead, the design will focus on interior reconfiguration to maximize the efficient use of space. The existing City Hall encompasses roughly 24,000 square feet across two floors and currently houses approximately 120 employees, with seating capacity for 139.
Staffing growth projections vary, but modest increases in occupancy (15%) can be accommodated with the reconfiguration of the floor plan as proposed. Accordingly, it is reasonable to conclude that the existing building footprint will continue to meet operational needs over the next decade, provided that:
o Staffing levels do not grow beyond 15%.
o The facility continues to provide current service levels.
Illustration: October 2025, City Hall Floor plans
c. No Parking Expansion
Expansion of existing parking facilities is not included in the project scope. Although parking availability at the Civic Center is limited, the project does not trigger additional parking requirements. The building size, footprint, and use will remain unchanged; factors typically used to determine parking ratios.
Parking capacity was last verified as adequate to meet code requirements in 2022. Once the project advances, compliance with updated California Building Code (CBC) requirements will be re-evaluated, including anticipated updates related to accessibility and electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure.
d. Upgrades to Infrastructure and Accessibility
2130
CC 12-16-2025
2130 of 2165
Infrastructure and accessibility upgrades necessary to meet current building codes will be included. Major building systems, including HVAC, IT, and electrical infrastructure, date back to 1965 and have exceeded their expected useful life. While partial repairs have been made over the years, full replacement is now necessary to ensure compliance with current building codes and Title 24 energy standards.
Updated Cost Projections
The Project Cost Estimates shared with City Council in 2022 (Attachment D) accounted for construction and 25% added to account for the “soft” cost of consultants (indicated in the top table, below). It has been noted that the cost estimate did not cover all the expected costs, such as moving, utility hook-ups, hazardous material remediation, etc. In October 2025, the City contracted Cumming Group to update the 2022 construction cost projections and requested that the estimate include all anticipated work efforts necessary to complete the project (indicated in the lower table, below).

Construction Costs
The Construction Cost estimate has notable Key Assumptions and Exclusions:
Construction Cost: Key Assumptions
Design Build Delivery Method
Construction occurs in one phase.
Building Unoccupied During Construction
Interior Building Demolition Included
Construction Budget Priced in October 2025 Dollars
The Project Would Initiate Immediately After Approval of Budget Construction Cost: Direct Costs Key Exclusions
Project Soft Costs
Interior Furnishing
Staff and Equipment Relocation
Audio Visual Equipment
Hazardous Material Abatement

Multiple Phase Construction
Escalation
The total construction cost is estimated at $29 million, equating to approximately $1,223 per square foot. Allowing for a 10% contingency brings the construction cost to roughly $32 million.
Soft Costs and Overall Project Budget
Soft costs are projected to include all City-incurred expenses related to that project delivery that are not included in the construction costs listed above.
Soft Costs: Key Inclusions
Consultants: Bridging Architect and Engineering team, Construction/Project Management, Cost Management, FF&E consultants, Commissioning agents, Special Inspectors, Public Engagement and Communications
Design phase Surveying, and testing and analysis (e.g. Geotech, Hazmat, Utilities) Hazardous Materials Abatement

Staff and Equipment Relocation: moving expenses, build-out of temporary spaces, storage
FF&E: Furniture, Furnishings and Equipment.
Audio Visual, Telecommunication, Security and Data systems and equipment Escalation
Details are provided in Attachment C, organized in six-month increments for flexible budgeting.
The total preliminary project budget—including both construction and soft costs—is estimated at approximately $54.4 million, with a current allocation of 74% for construction and 26% for soft costs once “escalation” is included as a construction cost. Construction typically accounts 2132
CC 12-16-2025
2132 of 2165
for a majority share of the overall budget (it usually sits around 65% construction / 35% soft costs). The use of more conservative fiscal assumptions at this early stage provides appropriate contingency and escalation capacity for a project of this duration and complexity.
To support these budget assumptions, the project team has prepared a high-level preliminary schedule. Based on current information, staff anticipate that the overall effort will span approximately five years.

2. Budget and Staffing Resources
Budget
As noted previously, the total projected cost for the Project is approximately $54.5 million.
Attachment C provides a breakdown of anticipated expenditures by calendar and fiscal year.
While contracts (encumbrances) will be executed in the early fiscal years, actual spending will occur throughout the duration of the Project. These projections will support effective financial planning.

$1,555,777 $3,824,198 $43,973,600 $5,017,464 $ 0 $54,371,034 Staffing
The CIP Division currently includes 4.25 full-time employees (FTEs): a CIP Manager, a Senior Civil Engineer (vacant), two Project Managers (representing 1.25 FTEs), and an Assistant Engineer (vacant). Recruitment efforts for vacant positions are in progress.
The City Hall Improvements project will require the dedicated, full-time involvement of one staff member. Given the Division’s existing workload across multiple active capital projects, staff recommends the addition of one FTE in FY 2026–27 to support this project. This position would be added for the duration of the effort, supplementing the existing 4.25 FTEs.
However, as positions become vacant within the Division near the end of the project, the City will evaluate if filling vacancies is appropriate.
3. Design-Build Process
The Public Contract Code (PCC) allows for an exception to the traditional design-bid-build process if approved by the City Council. The PCC Section 22162(a) states:
Except as provided in subdivision (b), and notwithstanding any other law, a local agency, with approval of its governing body, may procure design-build contracts for public works projects in excess of one million dollars ($1,000,000), awarding the contract to either the low bid or the best value, provided that this article shall not apply to any projects on the state highway system.
The project delivery process proposed for the Project is Design-Build, pursuant to California Public Contract Code section 22160 et seq., instead of conventional design-bid-build project delivery. The procurement method for this design-build project is based on best value rather than low bid. Design-Build delivery involves contracting with a single entity known as the Design-Build Entity (“DBE”) for both design and construction of the project. Using DesignBuild can potentially afford greater integration of services and more flexibility than the conventional design-bid-build and typically reduces project costs and expedites project completion.
The advantages of this method include:
• Time and cost savings: Design-build can save time and costs by having all services delivered by a DBE which reduces overhead and increases communication when compared to other methods, such as design-bid-build.
• Reduced risk: Design-build can reduce risk created by design or construction changes while saving time during design, scope development, and cost estimates when the designer and contractor work closely together. • Simplified project management: A single team manages the entire project, which can reduce claims and promote collaboration between vendors. • Single point of contact: The City of Cupertino will have a single contract and consistent project team for all aspects of the project. 2134
CC 12-16-2025
2134 of 2165
• Flexibility: Design-build process allows for negotiation of fees and services.
Further Options for Consideration
The overall cost of the project is a large responsibility. Council may wish to consider options that allow for varying levels of expenditure. Options presented to Council in 2022 are described in Attachment D. The options below are slightly altered in scope from the 2022 options to reflect building code considerations and Council’s directions since that time.
Option A: Schematic Design only. $2.5 million in FY26-27, $52 million in FY28-29 (+/-) Commit to schematic design only, for the full renovation scope. Design and Construction Management teams will be contracted to more fully explore cost and scope alternatives before commitment to the design-build process.
Pros: further structural analysis may allow for scope and cost reductions. Cons: The overall project cost and commitment would be deferred, adding additional time and potential escalation costs to the project.
Option B: Renovation without Tenant Improvements. $46.3 million Reduction of scope to eliminate spatial reconfigurations and interior improvements that are tenant improvements not otherwise required by seismic work, HVAC/infrastructure upgrades and accessibility upgrades required by building codes.
The cost is a rough estimate that would require further substantiation of cost, scope, and schedule by the cost management consultants, if Council wishes to pursue this option.
As previously noted, the magnitude of the cost and scope of the seismic retrofit triggers the building code requirements to make systematic improvements to HVAC (e.g. heating, cooling, and air-conditioning), infrastructure such as electrical systems, and accessibility. Reducing the scope to only include ‘seismic retrofit’ is therefore not possible. This Option B eliminates all discretionary scopes. Since prior Council direction was to move forward with the full renovation scope, the project team has not yet fully explored the cost and scheduling impacts of this option.
Pros: reduction of overall cost.
Cons: The current spatial configuration of the facility has large inefficient areas in the lobby and old Council Chambers that would not be reconfigured. Additional Community meeting rooms cannot be added. The current workspace would not be improved.
Option C: Full Renovation. $54.5 million (Recommended Action) Commitment to the full renovation scope and estimated costs. Pros: clear direction for the project, resulting in an efficient, seismically stable facility that better meets the needs of the Community than the current facility. Cons: The cost of projections is a large commitment.
Option D: Full Renovation + Surface Parking Expansion. Cost: TBD (anticipated $57 million – needs further evaluation to refine)
2135
CC 12-16-2025
2135 of 2165
Commitment to the full renovation scope and the design and construction of a stand-alone parking garage, to address constricted parking availability at Civic Center. Pros: clear direction for the project, resulting in an efficient, seismically stable facility that better meets the needs of the Community than the current facility. Parking would be improved with the addition of a parking facility.
Cons: The cost projections are a large commitment. An at-grade parking facility will impact the open space of the Civic Center Library Field.
Option E: New facility with underground parking. Cost: TBD (anticipated $110 million – needs further evaluation to refine)
In 2015, a new facility with new underground parking was conceptually developed after a multi-year public engagement process and extensive analysis. This option has not been effectively explored since that time but is included here to conceptually represent the range of options available.
Pros: a purpose-built facility that better meets the needs of the Community and improves parking. Revenue-generating facilities may be possible. Cons: The cost projections are a large commitment. The design process of a new facility will extend the schedule.
Next Steps
Upon Council approval of the recommended Project scope and budget, the project team will initiate implementation activities. Several key milestones will provide opportunities for Council updates and community engagement throughout the course of the Project. Preliminary milestone dates and topics are outlined below:
1. Award of Bridging Architect Contract – April/May 2026
2. Presentation of Bridging Documents: Update and Initial Design Review – January 2027
3. Presentation of Bridging Documents: Final Design Review – May 2027
4. Award of Construction Management Contract – January 2027
5. Award of Design-Build Entity Contract – August 2027
Sustainability Impact
The City's Climate Action Plan has explicit goals for the commercial sector to reduce natural gas usage (BE-3) a. This Project would (a) model these goals for our community through more energy efficient building systems and infrastructure, (b) save the City money, and (c) improve the local air-quality.
Fiscal Impact
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-22 CIP project budget for the City Hall Improvements Project is budget unit 420-99-250. If this budget modification is approved, the new Project Budget would be $54,500,000.

To fund this project, Council may use the “For Future Use” committed reserve to fund this project. The reserve currently has $64.5 million dollars.
If Council chooses to use the reserve to fund the project, staff has prepared an updated budget forecast that incorporates all changes since the adoption of the FY 2025–26 budget through September 30, 2025. The primary impacts to the forecast are related to the loss of interest earnings; it does not yet reflect potential changes associated with the pending renewal of the law enforcement contract, which remains under negotiation.
The forecast also assumes revenue losses at the start of each fiscal year as shown. In practice, however, project-related cash outflows would occur gradually rather than all at once, which may result in a more favorable fiscal outlook.
Overall, the forecast indicates that the largest deficits would occur during the construction phase. Even with the use of the reserve, only a minimal deficit is projected in the out-years. 2137

A Message from the City Manager
Hello Neighbors,
I am so glad I was able to see some of you at the Holiday Tree Lighting last week. It was great to gather and light up Cupertino. In this edition, you’ll also find highlights of the City’s recent recognition from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission for our smooth, well-maintained streets, an achievement we can all take pride in. With winter weather upon us, we’ve included helpful reminders and resources to help you stay safe and prepared.
You’ll also find the recorded video from our Coyote Community Meeting, aimed with tips and advice for how to help residents safely coexist with our local wildlife.
As the holiday season settles in, I find myself reflecting with gratitude on our community and the meaningful work we do together. I am proud of the work staff have accomplished over the past six months. Thank you for being part of it.
Lastly, I encourage you all to Shop Local this holiday season and support our local businesses.
Thank you for your continued engagement and partnership. I wish you and your loved ones a warm, joyful, and peaceful holiday season.

Warm Regards,
Tina Kapoor, City Manager

❖ Process to Request Certificate of Recognition or Commendation:
➢ To ensure such requests are handled as smoothly and efficiently as possible, the City Manager’s Office has implemented a dedicated process.
➢ We kindly ask that you complete the following form, which will allow Mayor Chao to present a certificate of recognition: https://cupertino.gov/councilmeetingrequest ❖ Proclamations at Council meetings: This year, I plan to follow a tradition upheld by some former Cupertino mayors and other mayors in recognizing organizations or individuals with proclamations during Council meetings. My goal is to honor those who have made consistent and/or significant contributions to Cupertino, with an emphasis on those who are less well-known. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to email me at [email protected].
Proclamations for contributions will generally be presented at the second Council meeting of each month, while the first meeting will continue to recognize special observances (e.g., awareness months or weeks) as before. You are also welcome to submit suggestions for these recognitions.
