Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Cupertino public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Broker and Realtor Luncheon to attract businesses
A planned Q1 2027 luncheon would connect brokers, realtors, and property owners with city staff to learn about Cupertino's commercial market, zoning, and permitting — with the goal of filling vacancies and attracting new businesses.
Commercial Filming Permit Program Implementation
Members debated whether the new CBS legal drama named 'Cupertino' helps or hurts the city's image, and whether the city could leverage it — taping locations, tourism, free advertising for local businesses — rather than dwell on unflattering portrayal.
Small business community platform
The committee debated creating a free, city-led online group where small businesses can connect, share information, and give feedback to the city. Open questions remain: which platform, who manages it day to day, and what concrete value it delivers versus the Chamber of Commerce.
