HEARINGS PAY AND VALET PARKING/PUBLIC & PRIVATE LOTS ZONING AMENDMENT A-96-5/ORDINANCE INTRODUCTION/HEARING (16.46) Mayor Benjamin stated that this was the time and place duly noted for public hearing to consider amending Town Code Chapter 29, Division 4. Parking to allow pay and valet parking on public and private lots. It has been determined that this Town Code Amendment will not have a significant impact on the environment, and is, therefore, exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, Zoning Ordinance Amendment A-96-5. Applicant Town of Los Gatos. TC:D9:MM070797 July 7, 1997 Los Gatos, California HEARINGS CONTINUED PAY AND VALET PARKING/PUBLIC & PRIVATE LOTS CONT. The following person from the audience spoke to this issue: Rex Morton, 51 University, Suite I, spoke of the need to have valet parking to alleviate the problem of Old Town's renovation. This would allow for some flexibility during a time that downtown parking will suffer large impacts. He felt that the ordinance would be a first step in solving some of the parking issues. The parking strategies will be publicized in the paper and neighborhood meetings will be held. No one else from the audience addressed this issue. Motion by Mr. Attaway, seconded by Mr. Blanton, to close the public hearing. Carried unanimously. Motion by Mr. Blanton, seconded by Mr. Hutchins, to accept Planning Commission recommendation for approval of Zoning Ordinance Amendment A-96-5, and find that the Ordinance is consistent with the General Plan and the Downtown Specific Plan. Council Comments: Mr. Blanton does not agree that individually owned parking lots will make a windfall profit on valet paid parking. He feels that private owners have a right to recover profit on their property. The cost and value of the parking spaces will regulate themselves through the private market place rather than having staff waste time artificially determining the value of downtown parking spaces. If the Ordinance passes tonight the Parking Commission can work on the various options with the residents and business community and the recommendations and modifications can return to the Planning Commission for review. Mr. Hutchins agrees with the Ordinance. He feels that it gives the Parking Commission something to work with as they make plans and suggestions to bring forward to the Planning Commission. A possibility is for the Town to charge during the time of Old Town construction setting limitations and restrictions on privately owned lots. Mrs. Lubeck thinks that the plan can function at least temporarily to help alleviate the problems associated with the rehabilitation of Old Town and that ongoing hearings and discussions can be held regarding extension of the plan. She supported residents in the area who were requesting relief from Old Town impacts. Mr. Attaway feels that the town lots should use valet parking at the same time private lots do, but he does not want that to happen at this time. His contention is that the Town should be in the forefront of any downtown parking policies. Mrs. Benjamin believes that any parking changes in the downtown should have adequate public discussion first. She feels that a formalized plan should be presented first to the community before a decision is made. Motion carried with three ayes. Mr. Attaway and Mrs. Benjamin voted no. Motion by Mr. Blanton, seconded by Mr. Hutchins, to refer to Planning Commission the question of whether it is necessary to have the Town first charge for parking before private owners are allowed to charge for parking. Motion failed with 2 ayes. Mr. Attaway, Mrs. Benjamin and Mrs. Lubeck voted no. The Deputy Town Clerk read the Title of the Draft Ordinance. TC:D9:MM070797 July 7, 1997 Los Gatos, California HEARINGS CONTINUED PAY AND VALET PARKING/PUBLIC & PRIVATE LOTS CONT. Motion by Mrs. Lubeck, seconded by Mr. Hutchins, to waive the reading of the Draft Ordinance. Carried unanimously.

SANTA CRUZ AVENUE N 115/CHART HOUSE/APPEAL Mayor Benjamin stated that this was the time and place duly noted for public hearing to consider appeal of a decision of the Planning Commission denying a modification to an existing restaurant Conditional Use Permit to allow for outdoor seating with the service of alcohol, on property located in the C-2 LHP zone. Project Application: PRJ-97-053. Property Located at 115 N. Santa Cruz Avenue. Property Owner: CHE, Inc.

Project Application: PRJ-96-081. Property Located at 115 N. Santa Cruz Avenue. Property Owner: CHE, Inc. The following people from the audience spoke to this issue: Louis Jackson, 115 S. Acacia Ave, Solano Beach, representing the Chart House, gave a brief overview of the proposed project and the history of the restaurant at that location and the quality of service and upkeep of the property. They feel they have been an excellent neighbor and will continue to be so. Sandra Paim, 61 Victory Lane, Suite C, representing the Chart House, gave a slide presentation regarding the architectural proposals of the Chart House. Laura Moore, 14 N. Santa Cruz Ave, spoke of the community activities that the managers of this facility have participated in. They have helped the downtown with projects and have consistently been a good neighbor. The design has taken into account the historic preservation concerns and the surrounding commercial and residential neighborhoods. She told of its place in the downtown beautification project on which she is has worked. John Voris, 121 Wilder Ave, submitted a letter for the record and spoke of the additional noise that will be generated by this refurbishing and upgrade. He asked that the approval be for 10:00 PM closure. Carol Supler, 114 Wilder Ave, submitted a letter for the record. She noted the following problems: She noted the early morning noise problem of delivery trucks before 7 AM and garbage trucks arriving before 6 AM. She noted that quiet signs have not been hung in the parking lots and shields have not been placed on the parking lot lights. She asked that specific conditions be added to the use permit regarding management and noise. TC:D9:MM070797 July 7, 1997 Los Gatos, California HEARINGS CONTINUED SANTA CRUZ AVENUE N 115/CHART HOUSE/CONT. Speakers continued: Joseph Riggio, 122 Wilder Ave, as a next door neighbor to the Chart House he has found that the present employees do not consider their neighbors in regards to noise, odors and sensitivity to the impacts to the neighborhood. Steve Kellogg, 107 Wilder, is concerned about moving the kitchen to the rear and the impact that will have in regards to noise, odors and activities which will effect him as his house looks right into that location. Louis Jackson, 115 S. Acacia, addressed the neighbors concerns. Trash area will be kept locked. The kitchen already exists in the rear, but it will be expanded and totally enclosed. The benches by the palm tree are not placed as a waiting room or lounge but just an amenity for people walking by. The patio is designed on the south east side where the impacts to the neighborhood would be at a minimum with the Chart House between the patio and the Almond Grove area. The restaurant's policy is to not accept delivery before 7 AM. Noise mitigation signs are proposed in the new design concept. Light shields are in place now though they might not be the best that could be done. Any personnel outside making undo noise will be addressed. He stated that the Chart House would do its best to follow the conditional use permit. Mrs. Lubeck stated for the record that she had visited the site at 10:30 at night at the request of a neighbor and found quite a bit of noise but not emanating from the Chart House. Music was playing in the bank parking lot and people were walking trough the restaurant parking lot who were not coming from the Chart House. No matter what CUP is granted it will not control the general downtown noise and activity in that location. No one else from the audience addressed this issue. Motion by Mr. Attaway, seconded by Mrs. Lubeck to close the public hearing. Carried unanimously. Council comments: Mr. Attaway asked for mitigating measures to address the sound problem in the waiting area with the benches. He asked that the architectural plan be improved to enhance the original style and the community ambiance. Mr. Blanton in this case would uphold the Planning Commission not being able to support the findings to overturn its decision. Mrs. Lubeck noted that the restaurant is not adding seats but only relocating seats to the outside. She agrees with the residential neighborhood that the hours should be to 10:00 PM every night for the patio and 11 PM for inside service during the week. She could find error regarding the architecture and would remand to the Planning Commission. Mr. Hutchins noted that in any district, commercial next to residential brings conflict, but feels the restaurant is going to remain a restaurant and therefore it should be allowed to rehabilitate itself for the betterment of both commercial and residential neighborhoods. Mrs. Benjamin noted that she had also visited the site and found the garbage placed in an inappropriate location, the lights were a problem and the downtown caused a great deal of noise to filter back to the residents. She felt that all these issues could be addressed with a conditional use permit which would address the hours of outdoor seating, the noise, the garbage, the lights and other neighborhood concerns. She would remand to the Planning Commission. TC:D9:MM070797 July 7, 1997 Los Gatos, California HEARINGS CONTINUED SANTA CRUZ AVENUE N 115/CHART HOUSE/CONT.

She noted that this study and request has just begun and there is a lot of information to be gathered, discussed and considered. The conclusions will not be reached until the year 2000. Judy Corobo, 109 Louise Court, noted discrepancy in the present school district boundaries and asked for Council's support in correcting it. Brannan Burns, 167 Bicknell Road, read a letter from another party. This related to not being included in Town news coverage and Town sponsored athletic events.

The alternative method of having children attend Town schools would be to have the excluded portions of Los Gatos annexed to the Los Gatos school systems.

The class room sizes have been capped and portable buildings are being placed for the current overflow. Enrollment is increasing and there is no more space.
