PROJECT LOCATION: The approximately 176-acre project site is located in the City of Cupertino and consists of an area generally bordered by East Homestead Road on the north; adjacent properties to the east of North Tantau Avenue on the east; Interstate 280 (I-280) and The Hamptons apartment community on the south; and North Wolfe Road on the west. Pruneridge Avenue extends through the site on a roughly east/west alignment. The project site currently contains approximately 2,657,000 feet of office and research and development buildings, some of which are occupied by Apple and formerly used by Hewlett-Packard. Calabazas Creek crosses the southeastern portion of the site. (The project site consists of the following Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs): 316-07-044, 316-07-045, 316-07-046, 316-06-045, 316-06-046, 316-06-053, 316-06-052, 316-06-048, 316-06-033, 316-06-051, 316-06-050, 316-06-049, 316-09-028, 316-09-019, 316-09-027, 316-18-035, 316-18-012, 316-18-025, 316-18-027, 316-18-026, 316-06-039, 316-06-038). Please refer to Figure 1 for a local and regional map showing the location of the project. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The proposed project is development of the Apple 2 Campus. The project would result in the demolition of all existing structures within the project site (consisting of approximately 2,657,000 square feet of building space) and the ultimate construction of 3,420,000 square feet of office, research, and development uses; 245,000 square feet of auditorium, fitness center, and Valet Parking Reception uses; 92,000 square feet of utility plants; and parking and ancillary buildings. In addition, Apple is requesting that a segment of Pruneridge Avenue be vacated by the City to allow for the development of a secure and unified campus. Development of the proposed project would require amendments to the City of Cupertino General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, a Vacation and Land Purchase Agreement, Utility Relocation and Easement Agreements, architectural and site approval, and various other City approvals, possibly including a Development Agreement. The proposed project could require additional discretionary permits or approvals from other non-City governmental entities. SIGNIFICANT ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS: The Draft EIR provides an evaluation of the potential environmental impacts of the proposed project and recommends mitigation measures to reduce impacts to a less-than-significant level. The project would result in significant environmental impacts in the following topical areas: Planning Policy; Land Use; Biological Resources; Cultural Resources; Geology, Soils, and Seismicity; Hydrology and Water Quality; Hazards and Hazardous Materials; Transportation and Circulation; Noise; Air Quality; and Public Services and Utilities. While most identified impacts would be reduced to a less-than-significant level with the implementation of identified mitigation measures, impacts in the following topical areas would remain significant and unavoidable, even after the implementation of feasible mitigation measures: Planning Policy; Land Use; Transportation and Circulation; Air Quality; and Public Services and Utilities. A portion of the project site is on lists of hazardous materials sites enumerated under Section 65962.5 of the Government Code. QUESTIONS: If you have any questions about this project, please contact the Department of Community Development at (408) 777-3308 or email [email protected].
