with reviewing plans for compliance with all Town Codes, policies, and the California Environmental
Quality Act. While the DRC will review plans for compliance with the Town's policies on architecture
and design, it does not act as an architectural review board. The Planning Commission and Town
Council will respond to issues of the appropriateness of architecture and other design features as part
of their discretionary review of an individual project.
It is requested that you and/or your representative be present at this meeting in order to respond to
questions that may be asked. The purpose of this meeting is to determine what deficiencies, if any,
exist in the proposal and to prepare a recommendation to the Planning Commission.
The Town of Los Gatos has adopted the provisions of Code of Civil Procedure Section 1094.6;
litigation challenging a decision of the Council must be brought within 90 days after the decision is
announced unless a shorter time limit is required by state or federal law.
In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, if you need special assistance to participate in
this meeting, please contact Sandy Baily at (408) 354-6873. Notification 48 hours before the
meeting will enable the Town to make reasonable arrangements to ensure accessibility to this
meeting. [28 CFR Section 35,102-35.104]
