1990-092-Supporting The Goals And Objective Of The Santa Clara County Greenbelt CoalitionRESOLUTION 1990 -92
RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL
OF THE TOWN OF LOS GATOS
SUPPORTING THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVE OF THE
SANTA CLARA COUNTY GREENBELT COALITION
WHEREAS, Santa Clara County is a special place to live with a prosperous economy
and large expanses of greenbelt lands still remaining along the Diablo and Santa Cruz
Mountain ranges and in the fertile South Valley; and
WHEREAS, a protected Santa Clara County Greenbelt, a large system of protected
and productive open space which guides the growth of cities and is essential to the social,
economic and environmental well being of the region and its residents; and
WHEREAS, the existing Santa Clara County Greenbelt, by physically separating some
communities, enhances civic identities and, if protected, promotes a more compact, efficient
pattern of development; and
WHEREAS, public policy in Santa Clara County already designates much of the
Greenbelt for agriculture, open space, watershed or other Greenbelt uses; and
WHEREAS, without official protection for the Greenbelt, the region will in the next
few years permanently lose large expanses of its open space.
RESOLVED, that the Town Council hereby endorses the goals and objective of the
Santa Clara County Greenbelt Coalition.
