TOWN OF LOS GATOS
CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT
ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPORT
MEETING DATE: 10/12/2022
ITEM NO: 2
DATE: October 7, 2022
TO: Conceptual Development Advisory Committee
FROM: Joel Paulson, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Conceptual Development Advisory Committee Application CD-22-004. Project
Location: 405 Alberto Way. APN: 529-23-018. Property Owner: Randy Lamb,
LPG Development. Applicant: Greg G. Bucilla III, Bucilla Group Architecture
Requesting Preliminary Review of a Proposal for Construction of Two Multi-
Family Buildings in a Mixed Use-Project on Property Zoned CH.
ROLE OF THE CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE:
The Conceptual Development Advisory Committee (Committee) advises a prospective applicant
on the overall consistency of a project with Town policies prior to submitting a formal
application and investing in the development review process. The Committee also endeavors
to identify the potential issues that will need to be addressed during the development review
process should the applicant wish to submit an application. The issues identified by the
Committee are not intended to be all-inclusive and other additional issues may be identified
during the formal development review process.
None of the Committee's comments are binding on the Town and in no way are they intended
to indicate whether the project will be received favorably by the various review bodies that are
charged with evaluating and deciding the application. As noted in this report, if an application
is filed, technical analysis would need to be done during the evaluation of the proposal. In
addition, public input is a required and essential component in the development review
process. Notice has been sent to residents and property owners within 300 feet of the project
site and to all properties within the Shannon Valley Ranch subdivision. In addition to the public
comments received at this meeting, all applicants are strongly encouraged to hold
neighborhood meetings to receive input as the design of the project evolves should they decide
to proceed with the development review process.

DATE: October 7, 2022
BACKGROUND:
A previous proposal for a two-story office project with below-grade parking was considered by
the Committee in 2015, and eventually approved by Town Council in 2018. Building permit and
demolition permit applications were submitted, and the existing structures were demolished,
but construction has not started on the office building.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The applicant has submitted a Conceptual Development Advisory Committee application
(Attachment 2) and a project description letter (Attachment 3) requesting preliminary review of
a proposal to construct two multi-family buildings with a small retail component. The
applicant’s letter indicates that they wish to construct two four-story multi-family residential
structures, and that they have included a small amount of retail space to conform with the
current requirements of the CH Zone.
Key elements of the proposed project, as listed in the project description and on the plans
submitted (Attachment 5), are as follows:
• Construction of two four-story multi-family residential buildings, including one level of
parking and three levels of residential;
• 600 square feet of retail;
• 50-foot height;
• 108 resident parking spaces at grade as first floor of buildings, with additional parking
shown on site and on the street;
• 54 total residential units, including both 2- and 3-bedroom units; and
• 8 below market rate units.
In addition, the applicant has submitted a letter (Attachment 4) describing the potential
applicability of the State Density Bonus Law, Housing Accountability Act, and other waivers and
concessions.
EXISTING GENERAL PLAN, ZONING, AND PLANNING AREA:
1. General Plan land use designation: Mixed Use Commercial, which permits a mixture of
retail, office, and residential in a mixed-use project, along with lodging, service, auto-related
businesses, non-manufacturing industrial uses, recreational uses, and restaurants. Projects
developed under this designation shall maintain the small town, residential scale and
natural environments of adjacent residential neighborhoods, as well as provide prime
orientation to arterial street frontages and proper transitions and buffers to adjacent
residential properties.

SUBJECT: 405 Alberto Way/CD-22-004
DATE: October 7, 2022
EXISTING GENERAL PLAN, ZONING, AND PLANNING AREA (continued):
2. Surrounding General Plan land use designations: Mixed Use Commercial to the south,
Mixed Use Commercial and Medium Density Residential to the east, Medium Density
Residential to the north, and Highway 17 to the west.
3. Zoning designation: Restricted Highway Commercial (CH).
4. Surrounding zoning designations: Restricted Highway Commercial (CH) to the south; CH
and Multi-Family Residential (RM:5-12) to the east; RM:5-12 to the north, and Highway 17
to the west.
While the General Plan 2040 was adopted by the Town Council on June 30, 2022, the new Land
Use Element, with associated changes in land use regulations and policies, has been put on hold
as a result of a referendum qualifying for the ballot. In the interim, the regulations in the 2020
General Plan Land Use Element apply.
EXISTING CONDITIONS:
1. The project site is approximately 2.15 acres.
2. The project site is located on the northwest corner of Los Gatos-Saratoga Road (Highway 9)
and Alberto Way.
3. Surrounding land uses: The site is bounded by multi-family residential uses to the north,
multi-family residential and commercial uses to the east, commercial uses to the south, and
Highway 17 to the west (Attachment 1).
POTENTIAL CONSIDERATIONS AND ISSUES:
The following is a brief list of issues and topics for consideration by the Committee. Staff has
not reached conclusions on these topics. Staff is identifying them here to help frame the
discussion and to solicit input. The main question for the Committee is whether or not the
applicant’s concept for the project creates a high-quality plan appropriate for Los Gatos in this
location. If an application is filed, staff would evaluate the technical issues.
1. General Plan
a. General Plan Policy LU-1.4 states, infill projects shall be designed in context with
the neighborhood and surrounding zoning with respect to existing scale and
character of surrounding structures, and should blend rather than compete with
the established character of the area.
b. General Plan Policy LU-1.8 states, commercial development of any type (office,
retail, research and development, etc.) shall be designed in keeping with the small-
town character of Los Gatos.
c. Policy LU-2.1 states, minimize vehicle miles traveled for goods and services by
allowing and encouraging stores that provide these goods within walking distance
of neighborhoods in Los Gatos.
PAGE 4 OF 6
SUBJECT: 405 Alberto Way/CD-22-004
DATE: October 7, 2022
POTENTIAL CONSIDERATIONS AND ISSUES (continued):
d. General Plan Policy LU-6.5 states, the type, density, and intensity of new land use
shall be consistent with that of the immediate neighborhood.
e. Policy LU-6.7 states, continue to encourage a variety of housing types and sizes that
is balanced throughout the Town and within neighborhoods, and that is also
compatible with the character of the surrounding neighborhood.
f. Policy LU-7.3 states, infill projects shall contribute to the further development of
the surrounding neighborhood (e.g. improve circulation, contribute to or provide
neighborhood unity, eliminate a blighted area) and shall not detract from the
existing quality of life.
g. Policy LU-7.4 states, infill projects shall be designed in context with the
neighborhood and surrounding zoning with respect to the existing scale and
character of surrounding structures, and should blend rather than compete with
the established character of the area.
2. Zoning
a. Multi-family dwelling in a mixed-use project, would be allowed with approval of a
Conditional Use Permit in the CH zone.
b. Given recent State law, mixed-use may not be required for residential in a
commercial zone, is there a preference for this location to include commercial or be
exclusively residential?
c. Height: The current maximum allowable height of a principal building in the CH
zone is 35 feet. However, the property has been added to the Site Inventory for the
Draft Housing Element, and will therefore be considered for an increase in the
maximum allowed height through the Housing Element update process. The
maximum height of the buildings are proposed to be 50 feet, and a proposal for a
waiver of the Town development standards is further discussed below and in a
letter provided by the applicant (Attachment 4).
d. Setbacks: The current project shows a 20-foot setback from all side and rear
property lines, to provide emergency fire access, but does not provide enough
detail to assess compliance with the required front setback. The minimum required
setbacks in the CH zone are 15 feet for front and sides abutting a street, and none
required for side and rear. For the north property like, which is adjacent to a lot in
a residential zone, the setback is 15 feet, plus one foot for each foot of building
height over 20 feet.
e. The maximum allowable building coverage in the CH zone is 50 percent. The
preliminary plans are in compliance with the maximum allowable building coverage
and proposes a building coverage of 43 percent.
f. The Below Market Price (BMP) Program applies to all residential development
projects that include five or more residential units. This project would be subject to
the BMP Program.

SUBJECT: 405 Alberto Way/CD-22-004
DATE: October 7, 2022
POTENTIAL CONSIDERATIONS AND ISSUES (continued):
3. Density
a. At a density of 20 dwelling units per net acre, the maximum allowable number of
units for the site is 43. As proposed, the project would not be in compliance with
allowable density, as 54 units are proposed. However, the property has been
added to the Site Inventory for the Draft Housing Element, and will therefore be
considered for an increase in the maximum allowed density through the Housing
Element update process.
4. Parking
a. Parking required for multiple-unit dwellings is 1.5 units per dwelling unit, plus one
guest parking per dwelling unit. For 54 units this project would require 162 onsite
parking spaces. The current proposal appears to include between 108 and 132
spaces onsite, with some listed as on street which would not count toward the
required parking.
5. State Law
a. Use of State Density Bonus Law. State density bonus law authorizes applicants who
provide specified percentages of affordable housing to seek 1) waivers of
development standards and 2) incentives or concessions. “Incentives or
concessions” are defined to include adjustments of Town development standards,
but not financial contributions to the project. The applicant proposes to use the
state density bonus law to seek both 1) a waiver of Town development standards or
2) incentives and concessions. In addition, the applicant proposes to rely on the
parking standards set forth in state density bonus law for qualifying projects. Based
on state density bonus law, projects including 10% of the units as affordable to low
income families are eligible for unlimited waivers and one incentive or concession.
As prescribed by state law, an applicant is entitled to a “waiver” of a development
standard if application of that standard would preclude construction of the project
as proposed. With regard to the requested incentive or concession, state law
provides that the Town’s grounds for denying a requested incentive or concession
are:
(A) The concession or incentive does not result in identifiable and actual cost
reductions, consistent with subdivision (k), to provide for affordable housing
costs, as defined in Section 50052.5 of the Health and Safety Code, or for
rents for the targeted units to be set as specified in subdivision (c).
(B) The concession or incentive would have a specific, adverse impact, as defined
in paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section 65589.5, upon public health and
safety or on any real property that is listed in the California Register of
Historical Resources and for which there is no feasible method to
satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific, adverse impact without rendering
the development unaffordable to low-income and moderate-income
households.
(C) The concession or incentive would be contrary to state or federal law.

DATE: October 7, 2022
POTENTIAL CONSIDERATIONS AND ISSUES (continued):
b. Housing Accountability Act. The applicant proposes a multi-family development.
For multi-family developments, the Town is limited to applying objective design
standards.
6. Environmental Review
a. Environmental review will be required, for compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). While an Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
was already approved for redevelopment of the site additional analysis will be
required once an application is submitted and will, at a minimum, include analysis
of transportation and air quality.

Ms. Jennifer Armer
Town of Los Gatos
110 East Main Street
Los Gatos, California 95030
Re: 405 Alberto Way - Waivers and Concessions Letter
Dear Ms. Armer:
Buchalter, a Professional Corporation, represents LPG Development (LPG) as land use
counsel for the proposed development of 405 Alberto Way, Los Gatos, California, APN 529-23-
018 (“Property”). The Town of Los Gatos (“Town”) previously approved a 74,260 square foot
two-story office building on the Property (“Approved Project”). LPG has submitted an application
to modify the Approved Project to include 54 multi-family dwelling units instead of a commercial
office building (“Revised Project”), consistent with the State’s and Town’s prioritization of
housing development. The Revised Project includes 8 Below Market Price (BMP) units, as
required by section 29.10.3000 et. seq. of the Los Gatos Town Code.
The state Density Bonus Law applies to residential projects that set aside at least 10% of
units as affordable for low income households. (GOV § 65915(b)(1)(A).)1 The affordable units
included in the Revised Project comprise approximately 14.8% of the total units on the Property.
Thus, the Revised Project is eligible for the benefits of the state Density Bonus Law. The purpose
of this letter is to provide the Town with the necessary inform ation regarding the Revised Project’s
eligibility under the state Density Bonus Law provisions for a waiver of the height limitation and
parking requirements.
1 The Town’s BMP Guidelines define low income households consistent with state Density Bonus Law and the United
States Department of Housing and Urban Development, as summarized by the State Department of Housing and
Community Development. A household in Santa Clara County is considered Low Income if household income totals
do not exceed 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI) for the County.

Waiver or Reduction of Development Standards Pursuant to State Density Bonus Law
Projects receiving a density bonus under the state Density Bonus Law are entitled to a
waiver or reduction of development standards that would otherwise “physically preclud[e] the
construction of a development meeting the criteria” of the Density Bonus Law at the densities or
with the concessions or incentives permitted by the law. (GOV § 65915(e)(1).)
Physical Constraints of the Property
The following limitations physically constrain the developable area on the Property:
1. A fire lane is required around the perimeter of the Property to provide adequate emergency
vehicle access to each of the proposed buildings for life safety purposes. Due to the size
of the site and proximity to the freeway, the fire lane must be located on a minimum of
12,250 square feet thereby constraining the area available for construction of the
condominium buildings on the Property.
2. The variation in the Property’s elevations and overall site topography, as well as the
existing freeway along the western boundary of the site requires that the fire lane occupy a
significant portion of the otherwise developable area on the Property.
These constraints necessarily require LPG to seek a development waiver to allow for the
construction of the Revised Project at the density permitted under the state Density Bonus Law.
Accordingly, LPG is requesting a waiver of the Town’s height limitation to allow for the physical
development of the Revised Project at the proposed density.
Height Limit Increase
The Property consists of 2.15 acres, or 93,654 square feet. Open space and public amenities
would occupy 53,473 square feet of the Property. The fire lane occupies a minimum of 12,250
square feet of the Property. Accordingly, the developable area on the Property is limited to the
remaining 27,931 square feet. Because of the limited developable area, the requested increase in
building height would allow the Revised Project to include three floors of residential units in a
podium construction over parking.
Government Code section 65915(e)(1) allows for eligible density bonus projects to receive
waivers of development standards that would “have the effect of physically precluding the
construction of a development . . . at the densities or with the concessions or incentives permitted
by this section” (emphasis added).
Ms. Jennifer Armer
September 21, 2022
Page 3
BN 72859374v2
The maximum building height in the CH zone is 35 feet (LGTC § 29.60.440). Strict
application of that development standard would reduce the building height by 15 feet, requiring
the removal of an entire floor from each building. This would result in the loss of 18 dwelling
units at the Project Site, including the loss of units set aside for low income households.
Applicability of the maximum height limit requirement, therefore, physically precludes
development of the number of proposed units that would otherwise be permitted at the density
provided by the state Density Bonus Law. Accordingly, a waiver of the minimum lot size
requirement applied to the lots indicated here would allow for the physical development of the
Revised Project at the density allowed under the state Density Bonus Law.
Alternative: The Height Limit Increase May be Allowed as an Incentive/Concession
If the Town is unable to grant a waiver from the existing height limit, this requested
reduction may be alternatively approved as a concession under state Density Bonus Law. An
applicant is eligible for a specified number of incentives/concessions, tied to the number of
affordable units provided, as long as those incentives/concessions result in identifiable and actual
cost reductions to provide for affordable housing costs. (GOV § 65915(d)(1)(A).) The Revised
Project sets aside 14.8% of the total units as affordable to low income households, qualifying it for
one incentive/concession. (GOV § 65915(d)(2)(A).)
The maximum building height in the CH zone is 35 feet (LGTC § 29.60.440). Strict
application of this development standard would reduce the building height by almost one third.
Reducing the Revised Project building height by 15 feet would reduce the overall size of the
Revised Project, economically precluding its construction and prohibiting LPG from constructing
the affordable units proposed as part of the Revised Project. The increased building height reduces
the costs of providing affordable units by creating construction efficiencies and an inherent
reduction in cost by constructing a greater number of units on the Property. The number of units
and sizes of the units proposed would not be able to be constructed without granting the concession
requested. Accordingly, mandating compliance with LGTC § 29.60.440 would economically
preclude construction of this affordable housing project.
Thus, in addition to considering a waiver of the building height limitation pursuant to state
Density Bonus Law, we request that the Town also consider granting a concession due to the loss
of construction efficiencies that would affect the feasibility of constructing both the affordable and
market rate units. In lieu of the waiver, the Town may consider the concession under the statute’s
incentive/concession provisions as another basis for the height exception.
Application of State Density Bonus Law Parking Requirements
Projects receiving a density bonus under the state Density Bonus Law are entitled to
reduced parking ratio requirements. Developments setting aside at least 10% of units as affordable
Ms. Jennifer Armer
September 21, 2022
Page 4
BN 72859374v2
for low income households are required to provide 1.5 parking spaces for every two or three
bedroom unit. (GOV § 65915(p)(1)(B).) As all 54 units are two or three bedroom units, the
minimum required parking for the Proposed Project Modifications is 81 parking spaces. As 108
parking spaces will be included, this parking standard established by state Density Bonus Law will
be met for both the residential units and guest parking.
Housing Accountability Act Applicability
The Housing Accountability Act (HAA) establishes state policy that local governments
“not reject or make infeasible housing development projects . . . that contribute to meeting the need
determined pursuant to” the applicable housing element. (GOV § 65589.5(b).) When a housing
development project complies with all applicable objective general plan, zoning, and subdivision
standards in effect when an application was deemed complete, the local government can only deny
the project upon finding that: (1) the project will result in a specific adverse impact to public health
and safety, and (2) there is no feasible method to mitigate that impact. (GOV § 65589.5(j)(1)(A)-
(B).) The HAA further explains that “receipt of a density bonus, incentive, concession, waiver, or
reduction of development standards . . . shall not constitute a valid basis on which to find a
proposed housing development project is inconsistent, not in compliance, or not in conformity,
with an applicable plan, program, policy, ordinance, [or] standard.” (GOV § 65589.5(j)(3).)
The Town has not expressed any concern that the Revised Project will result in any threat
to public health and safety. Notwithstanding the Town’s determination to grant the waivers LPG
requests under Density Bonus Law, the Revised Project remains in conformity with the applicable
General Plan and zoning policies and applicable objective development standards. The Revised
Project does not require rezoning because the Revised Project is consistent with the CH zone
development standards.
We appreciate the Town’s consideration of LPG’s request for the waiver of the height
limitation and implementation of the state Density Bonus parking requirement for the 405 Alberto
Way project. With the requested waiver and parking standard, LPG will be able to develop the 54
multi-family units, including 8 affordable units, it is proposing on the Property.

Subject: Conceptual Development Application: CD-22:004: 405 Alberto Way
Hello Jennifer et all,
I would like to provide input on the application for 405 Alberto Way. I own a condo across the street at
. I object to the height and density of this development. It is not in keeping with the
characteristic feel of other buildings in this neighborhood and will dwarf everything else. It will also fully
block the view of the hills from my condo at which will significantly decrease the value
of my property.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Jennifer
