OF THE TOWN ZONING ORDINANCE TO ADD SUB - PARAGRAPH (5), ALLOWING
THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO ESTABLISH AN APPROPRIATE AMORTIZATION
PERIOD AS ONE OF THE CONDITIONS OF A USE PERMIT
THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF LOS GATOS HEREBY ORDAINS:
SECTION 1.
Section 3.50.050 of the Town Zoning Ordinance is amended to add a new
sub - paragraph (5), as follows:
"(5) Commencing in 1982, where a Zoning Amendment is adopted which causes a
use to be non - conforming solely by subjecting it to the requirement of
obtaining a Conditional Use Permit, all uses affected by the Amendment must
apply for a Use Permit within sixty days (60) after the Amendment becomes
effective. Failure to make such application shall render the subject use
immediately unlawful.
In making its decision on an application for a Conditional Use Permit made
hereunder, the Commission shall, as one of the conditions of the permit,
establish an amortization period, based on a reasonable accommodation between
the public gains to be derived from a speedy removal of the non - conforming use
and the private loss which removal of the use would entail."
SECTION 2.
This ordinance takes effect 30 days after the date it is adopted. Within 15
days after this ordinance is adopted, the Town Clerk shall cause it to be published
once in a newspaper of general circulation published and circulated in the Town.
This ordinance was introduced at a regular meeting of the Town
Council of the Town of Los Gatos on April 5th , 1982, and adopted
by the following vote as an ordinance of the Town of Los Gatos at a adjourned regular
meeting of the Town Council on April 20 th , 1982.
