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

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.
