Appendix: Case Studies Cupertino Live+Work. – Cupertino, CA Currently under construction, the Cupertino Live+Work project located at 10121 North Foothill Boulevard will consist of six total residential units, five of which are being designated as live/work units. The commercial component of the live/work units will be detached and will be street-facing with the residential unit provided in the rear. This project is currently being developed by Tate Development with design work by modative, a Los Angeles based modern architecture firm. This project has a particular focus on the residential component, as the dwelling units are each 2,300 square feet and the associated commercial space is 450 square feet. It is important to note that Cupertino does not address Live/Work directly in their zoning ordinance. This project falls within a commercial zoning district and required special approval from the Cupertino City Council. 75 S. Milpitas Blvd. – Milpitas, CA With a 3-2 vote, Milpitas’ City Council approved the construction of a 25-unit townhome project as part of a Planned Unit Development at 75 South Milpitas Boulevard in January 2015. Of the 25 townhomes included in the project, five are being designated as live/work. To make way for the mostly-residential project, the developer demolished a 19,000 square foot, 2-story office building. Unlike Redwood City, Milpitas does not have a specific zoning classification for live/work, rather live/work is a conditional use in mixed use zones. Three of the live/work units will have direct street frontage while the other two are located on the site’s entry driveway. 5th Street Lofts – Oakland, CA Located at 1155 5th Street in Oakland, California, the 5th Street lofts were originally built in 1906 and functioned as a furniture warehouse. The property was converted in 1984 by Madison Park to a 27-unit live/work building.
