The Sunnyvale City Council has made permanent (unless a majority of neighbors later choose to repeal it) a neighborhood's moratorium on second story homes that was due to expire in July. 54 homes in an area of mostly-Eichler built houses will be impacted. The boundaries are Helena Drive, Wright Avenue, Homestead Road, and Cupertino Middle School. The controversy began when a "monster home" was built in the midst of one story models. Neighbors didn't object to tastefully remodeled two story homes, but felt that this one wasn't compatible with other houses in the area. Most residents agree with the decision, but a few are concerned that it will limit their ability to remodel, and might potentially affect the resale value of their properties.
