The Planning Commission and Parks and Recreation Commission recommended adoption of the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) and approval of the Final Conceptual Design. If the City Council adopts the IS/MND and approves the Final Conceptual Design on July 2, the project team will continue the project by preparing design and engineering drawings. These documents will be used to obtain any required permits, solicit bids for construction, and construct the park and trail. Completion of the project is anticipated in Summer 2027.

Background

Since 2002, the City of Cupertino has worked towards the transformation of Lawrence Mitty site into a park facility. The 7.83-acre site is located west of the Lawrence Expressway and to the east of Saratoga Creek. The property was historically used for agriculture and beginning in the 1970’s the property was used for construction stockpile storage and staging by the Santa Clara County Roads and Airports Department. The City acquired the Lawrence-Mitty site and annexed the property from San Jose into Cupertino’s jurisdiction.

The City is developing the site as a park facility which will include an extension of the San Tomas Aquino – Saratoga Creek Trail. As a first step in its development, the City produced a master plan that reflects community needs and the goals laid out in the 2020 Parks and Recreation System Master Plan. Throughout the development of the Master Plan the City worked with the public, numerous Commissions, and the City Council to solicit input and ideas on design and amenities to provide at the site.
