Chapter 19.68 — ADMINISTRATIVE AND PROFESSIONAL OFFICE (OA & OP) ZONES
Cupertino Zoning Code · 2026-06 edition · ingested 2026-07-06 · Cupertino
19.68.010 Purpose. ¶
An administrative and professional office (OA) zone is created to accommodate a demonstrated need for development of office space together with necessary landscaping and off-street parking facilities in locations served by primary access, yet inappropriate for commercial development because of close proximity to purely residential uses. It is intended that the professional office uses established in this zone shall be designed and landscaped so as to be in harmony with such adjacent residential uses.
The purpose of the Planned Office (OP) zoning district is to provide regulations for parcels or combinations of parcels of land of twenty-five acres or more on which development of professional administrative offices is deemed appropriate.
