WHEREAS:
1. Robert Hirsch, a partner in Goldrich, Kest & Associates has
appealed a decision of the Planning Commission as follows: denial of Zone
Change Application Z -88 -1, requiring an Environmental Impact Report and
request of change in zoning from R- 1:8000 (single family residential,
8,000 square foot minimum lot size) to R- 1:8,000 PD (single family
residential, 8,000 square foot minimum lot size - Planned Development) and
requesting permission to construct an 80 room senior citizen retirement
home on property located at 15347 National Avenue and owned by Goldrich,
Kest & Associates; and
2. A public hearing was scheduled by the Town Council for
December 19, 1988 and continued to and held on January 3, 1989.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1. The Town Council hereby finds that the Planning Commission was
correct in that the land use designation should not be changed because
single family residential homes are appropriate for the property.
2. The Town Council hereby further finds that the Town General
Plan encourages the development of senior housing but that this location
is not appropriate for other than single family residences.
3. The Town Council further finds that the Town Council reaffirms
its previous policy that National Avenue should remain residential in
character.
4. Based on the foregoing, the appeal is hereby denied and Zone
Change Application Z -88 -1 is hereby denied.
Pursuant to Los Gatos Town Code Section 1 -15, the time for seeking
judicial review for the Town Council decision is governed by California
Code of Civil Procedure Section 1094.6.
