APPEAL 104 UNIVERSITY AVENUE (GORK) Mayor Ventura stated this was the time and place duly noted to consider the appeal of Planning Commission's denial of a request for approval of plans to convert additional residential space to commercial, retail or office area on property located in the C-2 Zone, S-74-151A. Property located at 104 University Avenue. Owner John Gork. Jim Van Houten, 111 Mary Way, representing the property owner, spoke in support of the appeal and answered questions on the sequence for the structure from residential to residential and commercial. He also presented photographs in support of the appeal. Mr. Ferrito stated the policies of the Downtown Specific Plan clearly stated the residential uses shall be preserved and the rental stock should be maintained. There was discussion on whether the vacant space had been used as a rental in the last five years; traffic impact; whether there is current vacant space available for the use; whether the structure has serious defects to be a hazard; and 550 square feet would be converted from residential to commercial downstairs, 1,250 square feet approved for commercial use and another 680 square feet Planning Commission wants converted back to residential. John Gork, property owner, also spoke in support of his request. No one else from the audience wished to speak on the appeal. Mr. Carlson moved the public hearing be closed. Mr. Hamilton seconded. Carried unanimously. Mr. Bowman, Planning Director, answered questions of Council regarding mixed uses in the commercial zone. This property is not located in the mixed use it is in the Central Business District and there is no specific listing for mixed use residential and commercial in the definition in the central business district. Mixed uses have been allowed with Conditional Use Permits. He also read policy 8 of the Housing Element regarding the preservation of residential dwellings in non-residential designated areas and Policy 9 regarding the Town supporting mixing residential uses in commercial areas. Policy 3 states, "The Town shall attempt to maintain the range 30 to 35 percent of the total dwelling units as rental units." Mr. Ferrito moved to uphold the decision of the Planning Commission's decision and deny the appeal for the conversion from residential to commercial use at 104 University Avenue and refer this to the Town Attorney for preparation of the appropriate resolution. Mr. Carlson seconded. Carried by a vote of four ayes. Mr. Hamilton vote no. Mr. Carlson stated his reason for seconding the motion was because small rental units are the only way the Town can provide low income rental units for singles or elderly that want to live in Town. The goal of the General Plan to preserve rental stock is more important than the goal of office space or full utilization of the property. Mr. Carlson moved to allow the applicant to reapply for 600 square feet (or there about) residential downstairs and the conversion of the remaining to commercial without fee and the property owner has the right to apply to convert this to a residential unit as well as commercial. Mr. Hamilton seconded. Carried unanimously. APPEAL - 50 UNIVERSITY AVE. (MIMI'S ROOFTOP CAFE) HANDICAP ACCESS Mayor Ventura stated this was the time and place duly noted for public hearing to consider the appeal of the Town of Los Gatos Building Official's decision regarding handicap access for Mimi's Rooftop Cafe, 50 University Avenue. Frank Van Devender, owner of the restaurant and David Benevento, contractor of the project, spoke in support of the appeal stating 1) remodeling the kitchen is over 83% of the project; 2) 13% of the budget is to upgrade the appearance of the fountain area of the restaurant; and 3) less than 3% would go to refloor the existing dining areas. He feels the addition of ramps, lifts and other means of creating access to the restaurant and lowering the dining room floor and its cost would be financially prohibitive for the owner. There was discussion on the various levels of the dining rooms and the use of ramps vs. lowering the floor. Mr. Jim Lewis, 156 Vista del Monte, stated the remodeled area would be a waiting area with a bar. It is congregating area for everyone and it is important that it be handicap accessible. He is against the lift and gave alternate suggestions. Shawn Sullivan, Old Town Management, stated Old Town has taken care of the handicap accessible restroom and he does not feel the ramps would solve the problem. There was also discussion on an alternate waiting room that would be handicap accessible. Mr. Ferrito suggested a Handicap Accessible Subcommittee be formed to meet with the applicants and work out problems before they get to Council. Mrs. Benjamin moved the subcommittee and Mr. Lewis meet with the applicant and continue this public hearing to May 18, 1987. Mayor Ventura seconded. Carried unanimously. Mayor Ventura appointed Mr. Hamilton and Mrs. Benjamin appointed Mayor Ventura to the subcommittee. The Committee is to return with better representation of the alternatives. RECESS Mayor Ventura declared a 10 minute recess. Meeting reconvened at 9:50 p.m. APPEAL - DENIAL FOR PLANS MINI-WAREHOUSE (761 UNIVERSITY) Mayor Ventura stated this was the time and place duly noted for Council consideration to consider the appeal of Planning Commission's denial of request for approval of plans for the construction of a mini-warehouse storage facility, S- 78-7A, and for permission to have a single family residence for use by a resident manager for property in the LM Zone. Property located at 761 University Avenue, U-78-3A; owner/agent, Jon P. Anderson Public Storage, Inc. John Knott, Development Coordintor of Public Storage, spoke on down sizing the project from its original form; truck hauling size and weight (trucks are same size as presently used on the site); amount of dirt removed from the project; highest point of the building is 23 feet, lowest point is 20 feet; traffic would be minimal; the users would be primarily Los Gatos residents; and approved use for the site. Mr. Knott presented a petition to the Council in favor of the project. Dan Brown, Development Vice President of Public Storage and Bozidar Rajkovski, architect for the project also spoke on the appeal and answered Council's questions. Mr. Carlson stated in order to overturn the decision of the Planning Commission, Council must make a finding of error a nd it cannot, by law, take into consideration the cost of the project. He asked Mr. Knott what are the majors errors of the Planning Commission. Mr. Knott answered 1) the Planning Commission misunderstood the amount of dirt to be removed and the concern with traffic; 2) this project provides a service that is valuable to small small business and households; and 3) the size of the project is within the floor area ratios. Benjamin Guilardi, 103 Cedarcrest Place; Linda lobeck, 47 Filmore; Jon Anderson, property owner; Dirk Reed, 24250 Loma Prieta, property next to project; and Jim Zanardi, property owner next to project spoke in support of the project. Dale O'Toole, owner of the Los Gatos Mini Storage; and Madeline Long, Mini Storage renter spoke against the project. No one else from the audience wished to speak on this issue. Mr. Carlson moved the public hearing be closed. Mrs. Benjamin seconded. Carried unanimously. There was further discussion on the range of sizes of each storage unit from 5 x 5 up to 300 square feet; making the finding of error; the scale of the development is bigger than the Planing Commission wants in that part of town; can the developer go one third less than the original size. Mrs. Benjamin spoke on her concerns of the size of the project and unwillingness of the applicant to work with the Planning Commission. Mr. Ferrito thinks the Planning Commission misfocused on the question of the offhall and size of truck and traffic. He wants this to be sent back to the Planning Commission for more detail. Mr. Hamilton feels this puts the applicant in a bad position if the project is sent back to the Planning Commission. Mr. Carlson, because of the legality of the situation, can not find where the Planning Commission erred from the testimony in the Planning Commission minutes. He feels the use is a reasonable idea and is worried about the scale of the building and the Council should not be designing project. Mayor Ventura feels the design and landscaping is good. His only problem is the size of the project and feels that 60,000 gross area would fit the site. Mr. Carlson moved to find the Planning Commission erred with respect to their grading and leaving the dirt on the site was an alternative not considered and the one Council would prefer. Council remands this to the Planning Commission with a finding that Council thinks the use is appropriate for the zone and Planning Commission to look at something not as drastic as a two-third reduction but more like a one-third reduction from the original project considered by the developer. Mayor Ventura seconded. Carried by a vote of four ayes. Mr. Hamilton voted no. ZONE CHANGE 357 LOS GATOS BLVD. (FLICK) Rick Melzig, 340 Bella Vista Avenue and Wanta Kownacki, 342 Bella Vista Avenue, both spoke regarding not receiving a notice of the public hearing and their concerns on traffic problem the project will generate. Dave Flick, developer, spoke on the problems not adopting the ordinance will incur. There was Council discussion on the requirements of State law for Council hearing of a zone change is to notice in a paper of general circulation 10 days prior to the hearing. Mr. Bowman stated, Planning Commission was asked by Council to give more notice than required by State law but Council did not adopt the same rule for themselves. It has been standard procedure that the Clerk send the minimum notices required by law, this being the applicant and appellant. The Town Attorney stated according to Government Code Section 65092 there would be requirement to send notice if a written request for notice had been filed. Also section 65093 indicates the failure for any person to receive notice shall not constitute grounds for any court to invalidate the actions of a local agency for which the notice was given. Mr. Ferrito requested a staff report regarding what happens to the lists for public hearings between the Planning Department and Clerk's Office. Mr. Hamilton moved for adoption of Ordinance No. 1721 entitled, AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN OF LOS GATOS AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE EFFECTING ZONE CHANGE NO. 78 FROM R-1:8,000-PD. Mrs. Benjamin seconded. Carried by a vote of three ayes. Mr. Ferrito and Mayor Ventura voted no. 4-LOT SUBDIV. BACK TO ACREAGE 155 COLLEGE AVE.

REGIONAL APPROACH SUPPORT FOR HOMELESS At the Council's joint meeting with the Community Services Commission it was suggested that the Council contact San Jose regarding the need to address a regional solution to assist the homeless. Mr. Carlson reported the City of San Jose, on May 7, will be voting for support of a shelter for the homeless. It is important to get the City of San Jose to take the lead. This is a regional problem and other cities are contributing to the problem the City of San Jose has. He requested that if San Jose takes the lead, Los Gatos should contribute financially to the situation and a letter to that effect be sent.
