122 New Homes Proposed Near Stevens Creek

Cupertino officials have approved a 122-home redevelopment at the Stevens Creek Office Center, a 6.93-acre site near Stevens Creek Boulevard and Saich Way that now contains three office buildings and one retail building. City records show Harvest Properties filed a formal application on Sept. 25, 2024, after submitting an SB 330 preliminary application on April 1, 2024. The project was recommended for approval by the Planning Commission on March 24, 2026, and approved by the City Council on April 7, 2026. ### Where exactly is the project, and what would replace what? The site is listed by Cupertino as 20807, 20813, 20823 and 20883 Stevens Creek Blvd., near the northwestern corner of Stevens Creek Boulevard and Saich Way. City project materials describe the proposal as a redevelopment of the Stevens Creek Office Center. The city says the plan would replace three office buildings and one retail building. (cupertino.gov) The existing retail building includes Voyager Coffee and Panera Bread, according to the April 7 City Council agenda description. That agenda item asked council members to consider a use permit, tentative map, architectural and site approval, and a tree removal permit for the project. ### How many homes are proposed, and what kind are they? (cupertino.gov) Cupertino's project page says the development would contain 122 units: 66 small-lot single-family homes and 56 townhomes. The city says 24 of those units would be affordable. State environmental filings add more detail on the physical plan. A Notice of Exemption posted April 9, 2026, says the project would total 351,338 gross square feet, with three-story single-family homes ranging from 2,328 to 2,668 square feet and three-story townhomes ranging from 1,380 to 2,269 square feet. (cupertino.legistar.com) The filing says the project would include 31,711 square feet of private open space and buildings averaging 42 feet at the highest point. (cupertino.gov) ### What approvals did the developer need from the city? City records say the application required a tentative map, architectural and site approval, a conditional use permit and a tree removal permit. The proposal also sought density-bonus waivers and incentives. Cupertino lists the zoning as Planned Development with General Commercial and Residential, or P (CG, Res), and the land use as commercial, office and residential. (ceqanet.lci.ca.gov) The applicant is Harvest Properties, and the architect is KTGY Architecture and Planning, according to Cupertino's project page. The state filing names Kevin Choy of Harvest Properties as the applicant contact and Shelby Maples, a senior planner with the City of Cupertino, as the public agency contact. ### How dense is the project, and what does parking look like? (cupertino.gov) The state's filing says the development would have a residential density of 17.6 dwelling units per acre on 6.93 acres. That filing says the project qualifies for a statutory environmental exemption under Public Resources Code Section 21080.66 and meets criteria tied to Government Code Section 65913.4. The same filing says the project would provide 272 on-site parking spaces. (cupertino.gov) Those spaces would come from two-car garages for each unit plus 28 guest spaces. ### When did the city act, and what comes next? The Planning Commission voted 5-0 on March 24, 2026, to recommend approval, according to Cupertino's major-projects page. The City Council then approved the project on April 7, 2026, by a 4-0-1 vote, with one member absent, the city says. (ceqanet.lci.ca.gov) Cupertino's project page says the next public reference point is the city's posted action letter, resolutions and project materials from the April 7, 2026 council action. (ceqanet.lci.ca.gov) The city also says members of the public who want to review plans covered by state copyright limits can make an appointment with the Planning Division at City Hall.
