RM-2026-009

Project RM-2026-009 is a minor residential permit for a single-family residence located at 6365 Candlewood Ct. in Cupertino, California. The scope of work involves the legalization of an existing 299 square foot rear addition through a rear yard encroachment permit, as well as a front addition and general remodel of the property. The project is being managed by the City of Cupertino as the lead agency, with Xiaowen Song serving as the architect and applicant. The project is classified as a forecast with a posted date of August 5, 2026, and falls under NAICS code 236118. It has been granted a categorical and statutory exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act, specifically citing Existing Facilities section 5301, because the addition constitutes less than 50 percent of the original floor area. This exemption is supported by the Public Resources Code and was filed with the County of Santa Clara and the Office of Planning and Research.
