Present Land Use
The project site consists of 0.43-acre of an approximately eight-acre subject property located at 21750 Rainbow Drive in the City of Cupertino, CA. The project site is identified by Assessor’s Parcel Number 366-03-064. The subject property is located on a hillside, with a single-family residence located at the top of the hill and a vineyard and accessory structures located at the bottom. The City of Cupertino General Plan designates the site Very Low Density Residential (Res VL ½), and the site is zoned Residential Hillside (RHS).
Document Description
The proposed project would include the construction of a roadway on 0.43-acre of the subject property, northwest of the existing residence, to allow maintenance and access from the residence to the vineyard at the bottom of the hill. The new 450-ft long, 12-ft wide access road would begin at the base of the on-site residence’s existing driveway, atop the hill, wind down a relatively steep, native hillside with numerous trees, and cross a narrow drainage channel. The access road would be comprised of primarily pervious pavement, with the exception of approximately 877 sf of impervious surfaces (e.g., concrete-lined drainage ditches). The pervious pavement would allow stormwater on the site to percolate into underlying soils. Due to the existing topography of the site, the proposed project would include the construction of four retaining wall segments along portions of the access road. The proposed project would require approval of a Hillside Exception Permit.
