RESOLUTION OF NECESSITY
16351 LOS GATOS- ALMADEN ROAD
On May 19, 1980, the Town Council of the Town of Los Gatos
held a hearing after notice given to the persons and in the
manner required by Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235.
Ester Davis filed, through her attorney, a written request to
be heard on the matter, and her attorney, Barbara Sauer, appeared
and stated that Mrs. Davis opposed adoption of the resolution of
necessity, but offered no evidence.
RESOLVED:
1. The public interest and necessity require the taking of
the real property or interests in real property shown on the
attached "Exhibit A ", which is incorporated in this resolution by
reference, in fee simple, for future sale to persons who will
construct housing for senior citizens with low or moderate income
2. The Town council finds and determines:
(a) The public interest and necessity require the
proposed project: in Health and Safety Code section
50000 et seq., the State Legislature has declared
that the attainment of a decent home and a suitable
living environment is a priority of the highest order,
and that there is a serious shortage of decent, safe
and sanitary housing for low and moderate income
families; section 50005 provides that housing needs
must be met at a level of government which is as
close as possible to the people it serves.
(b) The proposed project is planned and located in
the manner that will be most compatible with the
greatest public good and the least private injury
because the property is suited for senior citizen
housing as it is located on an arterial street with
X (F -1)
local bus service and near necessary retail stores
and medical offices. The location and size of the
land allows project design which will not adversely
affect adjoining property.
(c) The property described in this resolution is
necessary for the proposed project because the Town
has not been able to find other property which meets
Department of Housing and Urban Development standards
for a low income senior citizen project as well as
this property does.
3. The Town Attorney is authorized to prosecute an action
in eminent domain to acquire the property in fee simple absolute.
PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Town Council
of the Town of Los Gatos held on the 19th day of May, 1980, by
