87 New Unit Construction on Linda Vista 

Summer-Hill Homes (On Linda Vista Drive)

• Build 52 units of two and three-story Townhomes

• Rezoned without notifying the neighborhood from R1 to R-3/TH which besides zoning change means the study of the impact on traffic and environment is at the city’s discretion because it is part of the Housing Element.

• Located at 10857 Linda Vista Drive (Evulich Court).

• Summer-Hill Homes has not filed a plan, but the city has a preliminary but not formal proposal.

Vista Heights  (In Linda Vista Park)

• Buil 35 units: 7 two-story below market rate rental units, 28 single-family units, plus community sports center. The trail links Linda Vista Park and Stevens County Park.

• Under Builder’s Remedy rules – which means zoning and height requirements do not apply.

• The only entry and exit into the property is through the entry into Linda Vista Park.

• Will require environmental and traffic impact evaluation (CEQA California Environmental Quality Act).

• Located on the other side of the hill seen in Linda Vista Park. (APNs 356-05-007, 356-05-008, 356-27-026)

• A formal application has been received and the city of Cupertino needs to respond by Sept 13.

Main List of Residential Neighbor’s Concerns

• Traffic gridlock, parking, and speeding with the addition of 87 units (52+35), more families, especially during school commute times on Linda Vista Drive.  The availability of parking for residents and guests of the new developments is also a major concern.

• Fire safety, especially with units located near natural vegetation and trees and with only a single access to and from the property.  Existing high fire risks have caused some homeowners to have their homeowner insurance canceled in this area. This is expected to get worse.

• There are additional concerns about infrastructure besides traffic, such as water, sewer, noise, emergency preparedness, and response time of ambulances and fire trucks during medical emergencies and/or natural disasters.
