Cupertino Union School District Student Assignment Procedure, Rules, Deadlines, Dates, Explanation, Examples, Clarification,

Starting June 10, 2019, families who are interested in having their child(ren) attend another school, may request a move where space is available or request to have their child(ren) placed on an existing wait list. The Student Assignment Office is open from 8:30 – 1:30 p.m. to support families with requests. 
Families may add their child(ren) to an existing alternative or attendance area school waitlist.  Requests may not exceed two alternative schools and two attendance area schools.  If placed through the open enrollment process, the child’s name is removed from the other alternative school lists or attendance area school lists accordingly. 
•    Ex. 1:  A child is waiting to get into Faria and Portal. The family accepts a spot at Portal. The child’s name is removed from the Faria list.
•    Ex. 2: A child is waiting to get into Regnart and Muir.  The family accepts a spot at Muir.  The child’s name is removed from the Regnart list.
•    Ex. 3:  A child is waiting to get into Faria, Portal, Dilworth, and Muir. The family accepts a spot at Muir. The child is removed from the Dilworth list but will remain on the Faria and Portal lists.  If the family accepts an offer at Portal, then the child is removed from the Faria list.
Note:  If a student is withdrawn from CUSD for any reason, the school choice agreement will become void.
Attendance Area School:   Families that would like their child(ren) to return to the family’s attendance area school may make this request at any time. If there is space, we will work with the schools to support this transfer through a Request for Transfer. If there is no space, the student will be considered “overflow” and will be placed at his/her attendance area school before an open enrollment student when space becomes available.

City of Cupertino > PLANNED DEVELOPMENT (P) ZONES



CHAPTER 19.80:  PLANNED DEVELOPMENT (P) ZONES
Section
   19.80.010   Purpose.
   19.80.020   Applicability of regulations.
   19.80.030   Establishment of districts–Permitted and conditional uses.
   19.80.040   Zoning or prezoning.
   19.80.050   Development permit.

Bookmark19.80.010   Purpose.
   A.   The planned development (P) zoning district is intended to provide a means of guiding land development or redevelopment of the City that is uniquely suited for planned coordination of land uses and to provide for a greater flexibility of land use intensity and design because of accessibility, ownership patterns, topographical considerations, and community design objectives.
   B.   The planned development zoning district is specifically intended to encourage variety in the development pattern of the community; to promote a more desirable living environment; to encourage creative approaches in land development; to provide a means of reducing the amount of improvements required in development through better design and land planning, to conserve natural features, to facilitate a more aesthetic and efficient use of open spaces, and to encourage the creation of public or private common open space.
(Ord. 14-2125, § 8 (part), 2014; Ord. 2085, § 2 (part), 2011)

Bookmark19.80.020   Applicability of Regulations.
   No building, structure or land shall be used and no building or structure shall be erected, enlarged or structurally altered, or demolished, in any planned development zoning district, except in accordance with the provisions set forth in this chapter.
(Ord. 14-2125, § 8 (part), 2014; Ord. 2085, § 2 (part), 2011)

Bookmark19.80.030   Establishment of Districts–Permitted and Conditional Uses.
   A.   Planned development zoning districts may be established, modified or removed from the zoning map, and the regulations applicable to any planned development district may be established, modified or deleted in accord with the procedures described in this chapter.
   B.   All P districts shall be identified on the zoning map with the letter coding "P" followed by a specific reference to the general type of use allowed in the particular planning development zoning district.  For example, a planned development zoning district in which the uses are to be general commercial in nature, would be designated "P(CG)."  A planned development zoning district in which the uses are intended to be a mix of general commercial and residential would be designated "P(CG/Res)."
   C.   Permitted uses in a P zoning district shall consist of all uses which are permitted in the zoning district which constitutes the designation following the letter coding "P."  For example, the permitted uses in a P(CG) zoning district are the same uses which are permitted in a CG zoning district for sties with a mixed-use residential designation, Section 19.80.030F shall apply.
   D.   Conditional uses in a P zoning district shall consist of all uses which require the issuance of a conditional use permit in the zoning district which constitutes the designation following the letter coding "P."  For example, the conditional uses in a P(CG) zoning district are the same uses which require a conditional use permit in CG zoning district.  Each conditional use in a P zoning district requires a separate conditional use permit for sites with a mixed-use residential designation, Section 19.80.030F shall apply.
   E.   The general category of uses in a P zone shall be defined at the time of the conceptual plan, and shall be consistent with the adopted General Plan relative to the property in the application.  The development standards and regulations of the permitted and conditional uses shall be established in conjunction with the approval of the conceptual and definitive plans.
   F.   For sites with a mixed-use residential designation the following shall apply:
      1.   For sites in the Monta Vista Village Special Area, residential shall be a permitted use.
      2.   If a site is listed as a Priority Housing Site in the City’s adopted Housing Element of the General Plan, then residential development that does not exceed the number of units designated for the site in the Housing Element shall be a permitted use.
      3.   Residential development on sites not designated as Priority Housing Sites in the City’s adopted Housing Element of the General Plan and residential development on a Priority Housing Site that exceeds the number of units designated for that Priority Housing Site shall be a conditional use.
      4.   Priority Housing Sites shall be shown on the City’s zoning map.
   G.   For sites which require a specific plan prior to development approval, the permitted and conditional uses shall be as shown in the specific plan.
(Ord. 14-2125, § 8 (part), 2014; Ord. 2085, § 2 (part), 2011)

Bookmark19.80.040   Zoning or Prezoning.
   A.   Application.  The applicant for a P zoning district shall, in addition to information required per Chapter 19.12, at the time of the application, submit to the Director of Community Development a conceptual development plan, which shall include:
      1.   A general description of the proposed uses,
      2.   The proposed traffic-circulation system,
      3.   A topographical map of the site and the neighboring properties,
      4.   A landscaping plan.
   B.   Process and Review Authority.
      1.   Applications for the zoning, prezoning or rezoning of property shall be processed in the manner prescribed in Chapter 19.152.
   C.   Findings.  No such ordinance may be adopted unless, in addition to making the findings required by Chapter 19.152, the following findings are made:
      1.   That the conceptual development plan attached to the application is consistent with both the General Plan and any underlying zoning designation which regulates the site;
      2.   That the conceptual development plan provides for an organized and unified system of land uses and land use intensities which would be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood;
      3.   That the conceptual development plan for a residential use ensures that the proposed development provides adequate active and passive oriented open space within the development to satisfy the needs of future residents and, further, that the proposed development provides adequate landscaping that will function in a manner which will enhance the individual development and the community as a whole;
      4.   That the conceptual development plan ensures that the location of the site with respect to major thoroughfares and uses outside the zone would not create undue and unreasonable traffic congestion in the area;
      5.   That the conceptual development plan makes provisions for adequate parking, waste disposal and undergrounding of utilities.
   D.   Modifications.  Any modification of the conceptual plan requires the submission of a rezoning application.
(Ord. 14-2125, § 8 (part), 2014; Ord. 2085, § 2 (part), 2011)

Bookmark19.80.050   Development Permit.

Mayor of Cupertino abandons housing at Vallco, pushing for a retail-dominant complex at Vallco Mall

Below is an email from Reed Moulds, the Managing Director of Sand Hill Property Company:

Mayor abandons housing at Vallco, pushing for a retail-dominant complex at Vallco Mall, on eve of Vallco Specific Plan community engagement kick-off (please attend!)

Dear neighbor:

Wednesday night, during his State of the City address, Mayor Darcy Paul put forward his "personal" opinion of the future of Vallco. Unfortunately, his future looks to recreate past failures and calls for a retail-dominant mall with some office and little to no housing. If you haven’t seen his speech, you can watch it here.

His vision for the Vallco planning area is an inefficient 1.2 million square foot project, less than what exists today, where at least half of the space – 600,000 feet – would be reserved for retail.

Needless to say, such a project is infeasible and not supported by the market, and it just ensures that Vallco will not be revitalized and remain a vacant, dead mall. With his focus on retail and office, and accounting for the new hotel already being built there by another developer, his proposal doesn’t leave a lot of space for residential use. By ignoring the need for housing at Vallco – Cupertino’s best opportunity to provide real solutions to the housing crisis – the Mayor fails to acknowledge the single greatest challenge facing our region and the City of Cupertino, which happens to be the region’s most unaffordable city.

In October, compelled to address this unprecedented housing crisis, we requested that the City analyze alternatives to add significant housing through a Vallco Specific Plan and reduce housing demand generators like office and retail uses.

The timing of the Mayor’s statements about Vallco – which threaten to influence this planning process before the community engagement on the Vallco Specific Plan has even started – is irresponsible and disappointing. That is why we, once again, are asking for your help.

Next week on Monday, February 5, 2018 from 6 pm to 8:30 pm the City is hosting a “Vallco Specific Plan Kick-off Meeting at Community Hall, a.k.a. Council Chambers. At this meeting the City’s planning consultant, Opticos Design, will further explain the Specific Plan, discuss the range of outcomes and ask the community to talk about their perspective on the future of Vallco.

With this note, we want to encourage you all to attend this first in a series of community meetingsYour voice is needed on the future of Vallco. The Opticos team should hear what the majority view of Cupertino is and how a smart and dynamic town center plan with a good mix of uses will benefit the City, the community and everyone who lives, works and is a visitor in Cupertino.

For our part, we are convinced more than ever that Vallco offers a unique opportunity to help address the region’s housing shortage and affordability crisis, while adding greatly to the lives of those of you who are already settled here. A sustainable mixed-use plan that includes shopping, dining, a cutting-edge entertainment district, community facilities, great streets and outdoor spaces, a meaningful amount of housing and a manageable amount of office has the tremendous potential to turn a lifeless part of the city into a vibrant and community-driven new downtown district. And let’s not forget that, absent significant mitigations, the most traffic-sensitive proposals are the ones where there is a balance among the different uses, not the ones that are office- or retail-heavy.

All around us, other cities throughout Silicon Valley are already setting examples. Delaying or undermining Vallco’s revitalization is a lose-lose strategy, not just for the landowner but for the Cupertino community as well. Let’s all help Cupertino’s decision-makers see the benefit of a realistic plan for Vallco through a collaborative planning process; my hope is this would have the dual benefit of preventing the partisan few from trying to sway it. But if supporters of true revitalization don’t show up and let themselves be heard, given the Mayor’s mindset, this process certainly cannot succeed.

We will continue to send updates throughout the rest of the process. Once again, thank you for your support.

SANTA CLARA VALLEY (High School) ATHLETIC LEAGUE

SANTA CLARA VALLEY ATHLETIC LEAGUE Originally established in 1973 the SCVAL consisted of 13 schools; Awalt Buchser Cupertino Fremont Homestead Los Altos Lynbrook Monta Vista Mountain View Peterson Santa Clara Sunnyvale Wilcox In 1974 the league split into two divisions; the De Anza League (DAL) and the El Camino League (ECL). Over the course of the last 30 years the SCVAL has undergone many changes: •In 1976, Saratoga transferred from the West Valley Athletic League (WVAL) to the DAL. •In 1981 Sunnyvale closed its doors and St. Francis joined the Girls Division. •Around 1982, Mt. View closed and took up where Awalt was housed. •Also around 1982, Santa Clara did the same by replacing Buchser. •Circa 1983, Peterson was turned into a Middle School. •In 1988 Los Gatos joined the DAL •In 2002 St Francis left the DAL to join the WCAL (West Coast Athletic League). Today, the league is a 14 school super league with Boys and Girls teams divided into two leagues (or divisions). The DAL (strong) and El Camino (weak) leagues are different for every sport within the SCVAL.

Detailed Property Tax Component Breakdown Comparison 2015-2016

For buyers who are numbers driven, I did a detailed comparison of the property tax charges between sample houses in the 3 neighborhoods below:
1. Cupertino address with Cupertino schools
2. Santa Clara address with Cupertino schools
3. San Jose address with Berryessa schools

The overall property tax rates are very similar for all properties in Santa Clara County. The minor variations are mainly due to the differences in Special Assessments added on to the bills for different communities.



Some Special Assessments are based on mailing address CITY (not school district):

The house with Cupertino address (based on address city not school district) is charged special assessments for the following:

1a. Cupertino Sewer Services = $411.70
1b. Cupertino/Environment/Storm = $12
2. County Library CFD 2013-1 = $33.66

In comparison, the house with San Jose address pays:
1a. SJ Current Garbage Services = $384.84 (newly added to San Jose Property Tax bills)
1b. SJ Sewer/Sani/Storm = $499.44 (newly added to San Jose Property Tax bills)
2. San Jose Library Measure B of $31.34 (up from an Assessment of $27.80 back in 2011)

and the houses with San Jose + Santa Clara address (but not the house with Cupertino address) pay:
1. SCCOSA ASMT DIST 1 assessment of $12 (same as in 2011) +
2. SCCOSA Measure Q of $24.00 (newer charge that was not present in 2011).

Some Special Assessments are based on SCHOOL DISTRICT (not mailing address CITY):  

For instance, regardless of address, homes in the Cupertino Union School District (CUSD) and Fremont Union High School District (FUHSD) pay CUSD Measure A of $250 (up from Parcel Tax of $125 in 2011) and FUHSD Measure B of $98 (same as Parcel Tax of $98 in 2011). In comparison, homes in the Berryessa School District (BSD) only have to pay the Berryessa School District Measure K of $79 (same as Parcel Tax $79 in 2011).


The Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD) charges:
1. SCVWD Safe, Clean Water = $59.24 fixed for all properties
2. SCVWD FLOOD
    a) North Central = $13.18 for Cupertino and Santa Clara
    b) East = $20.92 for Berryessa neighborhood of San Jose

Mosquito-Vector charges the same for all 3 properties:
1. Mosquito Vector Asmet #2 = $8.36
2. Mosquito Vector Control Assmt = $5.08




In summary:
1. Cupertino address with Cupertino schools = Total Assessed Value*(Tax Rate 1.1792%)+ Special Assessments $891.22
2. Santa Clara address with Cupertino schools = Total Assessed Value*(Tax Rate 1.176%)+ Special Assessments $469.86 
3. San Jose address with Berryessa schools = Total Assessed Value*(Tax Rate 1.2521%)+ Special Assessments $1,124.22

The final conclusion is that the property tax rates are only slightly different between different neighborhoods within Santa Clara County. If you are evaluating a potential purchase of investment property and need a rough property tax figure to enable you to compute cash flow then use a rough number of 0.0125 * Assessed Property Value (i.e. 1.25% * purchase price for year1)

City of Cupertino Swimming Pool Removal Requirements

The city of Cupertino has a guideline for the minimum requirements for removal of an existing swimming pool.  In all cases, a construction permit is required.

The plan requirements are:
1. Complete swimming pool (SP) permit application
2. Three (3) sets on min 8-1/2" x 11" sheets of site plan showing all property lines, existing structures, location of existing swimming pool and setback dimensions from pool to existing structures and property lines.

If the pool shell is to remain:
1. Drill min of three (3) - 12" diameter holes evenly spaced along the center line of the pool bottom.
2. Backfill remaining pool shell with 3/4" max size crushed rock for a min 8" deep at bottom of pool. 
3 Backfill to be moistened and tractor rolled (or tamped with a wacker compacting plate) into place.
4. Two inspection required.  Initial inspection to verify required drain holes at bottom of pool.  Final inspection after all work complete.
5. No fill dirt to be stored on street or public right-of-way without encroachment permit issued by Dept of Public Works.
6. Owner agrees the backfill over existing swimming pool shell may have DIFFERENTIAL SETTLEMENT and therefore agrees to use area for landscape only and not for any structural or floor slab support until entire pool shell removed and backfill certified with 90% compaction.

City of Saratoga Might Not Mean Saratoga Schools. Here's How to Determine Which School District Your Home is in.

Buying a house in the City of Saratoga might not mean your kids will go to Saratoga Schools.  The City of Saratoga is served by 4 different K-8 elementary school districts: Campbell, Cupertino, Moreland and Saratoga Union School District. 


To determine which of these 4 school districts your property is in, check your property's school district assignment using the Santa Clara County Assessor's website: 

  • Enter street address, click on "School District/Tax Rate Area".  The result will read "Saratoga Union" if you reside in our school district.  If the address does not come up, please double check the spelling or street number.  Or use the property APN number as a alternative.
  • For K-5 school assignments within the Saratoga Union School District, click HERE.  Grades 6-8 students attend Redwood Middle School.
  • For high school attendance (grades 9-12), visit the Los Gatos Saratoga Union School District's Find My School webpage.
  • If you have questions about property boundary lines, please contact the County Committee on District Boundaries at (408) 453-6869.  

 NOTEThere is no SUSD district map published for distribution.  District assignments are based on the data via the Santa Clara County Assessor's office.



For example, let's see what school district serves 14900 PIERCE RD SARATOGA 95070-9701

For K-5 school assignments within the Saratoga Union School District, click HERE

http://www.saratogausd.org/index.php/registration#SchoolAssign

Enrollment in Saratoga Union School District is open for residents who reside permanently within school district boundaries. SUSD is an open enrollment district which means no property addresses have been assigned to a specific school (Board Policy 5116.1: Education Code 35160.5)  Parents may therefore request the K-5 school within the district they wish their student to attend provided the student  resides within the boundaries of our district and space permits. 
 
During the registration process, newly enrolling K-5 families will be asked for their first and second choice of elementary school sites: Argonaut, Foothill or  Saratoga Elementary Schools.  Placement at an elementary school site is based on space availability.  Proximity to school is not a criteria in placement.  All students in grades 6-8 attend Redwood Middle School. For high school (grades 9-12), visit the Los Gatos Saratoga Union School District website and their Find My School webpage.
