Cupertino City Council Meeting - March 17, 2026

The City of Cupertino held a special and regular City Council meeting on March 17, 2026, focusing primarily on a housing development project at 10333 North Wolf Road. The project, led by Santa Clara County in partnership with Eden Housing and architects, proposes 251 affordable housing units targeted at educators and low- to moderate-income families. The council reviewed community engagement outcomes, design modifications, and discussed issues related to emergency vehicle access and pedestrian/bicycle connectivity. Public comments reflected both support for the affordable housing initiative and concerns about safety and neighborhood impacts. Additionally, the council discussed potential revenue ballot measures to address fiscal pressures, including options to extend or modernize the existing utility users tax, local sales tax, and business license tax. The council directed staff to conduct polling on extending the utility users tax with possible modernization and to include a question on a parkland ballot measure. Lastly, the council considered future use options for the Blasch property, ultimately approving a motion to convert the site into a native planting park with pathways and outdoor seating, removing existing structures, and coordinating with the historical society on related matters. No contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting.
