PLANNING COMMISSION
REPORT
MEETING DATE: 12/11/2024
ITEM NO: 3
DATE: December 6, 2024
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Joel Paulson, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Requesting Approval for Modification of Planned Development Ordinance
1412, Subdivision of One Lot into Two Lots, Construction of a Single-Family
Residence, and Site Work Requiring a Grading Permit on Property Zoned
O:PD. Located at 120 Oak Meadow Drive. APN 529-10-131. Subdivision
Application M-20-011, Planned Development Application PD-20-002,
Architecture and Site Application S-22-021. Categorically Exempt Pursuant to
CEQA Guidelines Sections 15315: Minor Land Divisions; 15303: New
Construction; and 15304: Minor Alterations to Land. Property Owner: Marty
and Penny McFarland. Applicants: Terence J. Szewczyk (M-20-011 and
PD-20-002) and Jay Plett, Architect (S-22-021). Project Planner: Sean Mullin.
RECOMMENDATION:
Forward a recommendation of approval to the Town Council on a request for modification of
Planned Development Ordinance 1412, subdivision of one lot into two lots, construction of a
single-family residence, and site work requiring a Grading Permit on property zoned O:PD,
located at 120 Oak Meadow Drive.
BACKGROUND:
On July 24, 2024, the Planning Commission received the staff report, applicant’s presentation,
and public comments on the proposed project (Exhibit 18). Included in the public comments
was testimony from a neighbor and board member of the Regency Court Homeowners
Association (HOA) who indicated that the HOA maintained architectural control over the
subject property even though it had been removed from the HOA in 1985. Further, the HOA
board member indicated that architectural review by the HOA had not been completed. After
discussing the matter, the Planning Commission voted to continue consideration of this item to
a date uncertain to allow the applicant sufficient time to coordinate with the HOA.

SUBJECT: 120 Oak Meadow Drive/M-20-011, PD-20-002, S-22-021
DATE: December 6, 2024
DISCUSSION:
In October 2024, the HOA provided a letter summarizing the coordination between the HOA,
property owner, and architect (Exhibit 19). The letter also provided the HOA’s conditional
approval of the proposed project. The HOA’s conditions include requiring that the second-story
window on the west elevation is to utilize obscured glass, restricting the current and future
owners from removing or modifying the existing brick wall along the west propert y line, and
that this wall is to be extended to the north using the same vertical siding as is proposed on the
second story of the residence. Additional conditions related to construction activities, garbage
collection, access, road maintenance, and costs related to updating the CC&Rs are also
included.
The applicant submitted a response letter (Exhibit 20) summarizing their agreement to the HOA
conditions and the changes made to the revised development plans in response (Exhibit 21),
which include obscured glass on the second-story window on the west elevation (Sheet A-5),
extension of the wall along the west property line, and a construction access plan
(Sheet A-1).
While the Town is not responsible for enforcing private-party agreements included in CC&Rs,
the revised development plans included as Exhibit 21 incorporate the HOA’s conditions,
summarized above, that impact the proposed residence. With any approval of the project, the
revised development plans will be included with the draft Planned Development Ordinance
(Exhibit 3) and the requirement to obscure glass and extend the existing wall would be
enforced by the Town. The Planning Commission may choose to incorporate all or some of the
HOA conditions into the draft Planned Development Ordinance included as Exhibit 3 with their
recommendation to the Town Council.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Notice cards for the Planning Commission meeting were mailed to all property owners and
residents within 300 feet of the PD, a legal advertisement was published in the newspaper, and
meeting agendas were posted at Town Hall and the Library. As of the publishing of this report,
no public comments have been received.
CONCLUSION:
A. Summary
The applicant is requesting approval for modification of Planned Development Ordinance
1412 to allow subdivision of one lot into two lots, construction of a single-family residence,
and site work requiring a Grading Permit. The applicant also requests modifications to the
performance standards in the PD Ordinance to allow deviation s from the underlying zoning
and applicable sections of the HDS&G allowing the following:
Page 96
PAGE 3 OF 5
SUBJECT: 120 Oak Meadow Drive/M-20-011, PD-20-002, S-22-021
DATE: December 6, 2024
Parcel A
Lot coverage exceeding 40 percent; and
Existing residence exceeding FAR standards.
Parcel B
Lot size below what is required by the zone;
Proposed residence exceeding FAR standards;
Lot coverage exceeding 40 percent;
Reduced setbacks;
Portion of the residence located outside of the LRDA; and
Driveway slope exceeding 15 percent.
No other exceptions are requested. Regarding consistency with the immediate
neighborhood, the proposed single-family residence on Parcel B would not result in the
largest residential structure in terms of floor area or FAR, would be the largest of the two
single-family residences in terms of FAR, and would not be the first two-story residence. The
applicant seeks a recommendation from the Planning Commission to the Town Council, who
will render the final decision on the project.
B. Recommendation
If the Planning Commission finds merit with the proposed project, staff recommends the
Commission take the following actions to forward the PD, Subdivision, and Architecture and
Site applications to the Town Council with a recommendation for approval of the proposed
project, by recommending that the Town Council:
1. Make the finding that the proposed project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to the
adopted Guidelines for the Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act,
Sections 15315: Minor Land Divisions; 15303: New Construction; and 15304: Minor
Alterations to Land (Exhibit 2);
2. Make the finding that the amendment to the Planned Development Overlay is
consistent Town Code Section 29.80.095 (Exhibit 2);
3. Make the finding that the project complies with the objective standards of Chapter 29 of
the Town Code (Zoning Regulations) except for the requested modifications to the lot
coverage limitations for Parcels A and B; and the minimum lot size and setbacks for
Parcel B, which are appropriate due to the constraints of the site (Exhibit 2);
4. Make the finding that the amendment to the Planned Development Overlay is
consistent with the General Plan (Exhibit 2);
5. Make the findings as required by Section 66474 of the Subdivision Map Act (Exhibit 2);

Development Standards and Guidelines for a property with an average slope of 10
percent or greater, except for the requested modification to allow a maximum driveway
slope greater than 15 percent and for a portion of the residence locat ed outside of the
LRDA, which are appropriate due to the constraints of the site (Exhibit 2);
7. Make the finding that the project is consistent with the Residential Design Guidelines
(Exhibit 2);
8. Make the considerations as required by Section 29.20.150 of the Town Code for
granting approval of an Architecture and Site application (Exhibit 2); and
9. Approve Planned Development application PD-20-002 to adopt the Planned
Development Ordinance (Exhibit 3); approve Subdivision application M-20-011; and

Requesting approval for Modification of Planned Development Ordinance 1412,

Construction; and 15304: Minor Alterations to Land.
Sean Mullin, Senior Planner, presented the staff report.
Opened Public Comment.
Terence J. Szewczyk, Applicant
- This project represents the ideal creation of generational housing on one parcel, which is
the intent of SB 9. We would have changed this to an SB 9 application, but the underlying
zoning is Office, so we are unable to use SB 9. We ask the Planning Commission to
recommend to the Town Council modification of the PD zoning to allow for this additional
house. The McFarlands want to build a house for their two daughters. We have carefully
sited this house for tree protection, safety, and the least impact from the driveway. We
have to increase the driveway slope to get up higher to avoid damaging the base of some
spectacular oak trees. Oak Meadow Drive is a private road and it would not be
unreasonable for the applicants to agree to a condition to participate in road maintenance.
Marty McFarland, Property Owner
- We have lived on this property for over 32 years and are excited about this project and the
opportunity to provide a lot to our two daughters to build a house. Our youngest daughter
is a local special education teacher, and teachers don’t make a lot of money.
Paul Vieth
- My wife and I live across from the McFarlands and I am one of the board members of
Regency Court HOA. In 1985 the McFarland’s lot was removed from the HOA except for
the purposes of contributing to road maintenance, and pursuant to that agreement the
HOA retains a right of architectural control over that lot. The CC&Rs go along with the
deed and contain clear guidelines on architectural approval by the CC&Rs and bylaws, and
Page 102
PAGE 3 OF 4
MINUTES OF PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF JULY 24, 2024
that process has not occurred. There was never an attempt to review this with the
Architectural Committee or the HOA. In October 2021, the HOA denied Mr. McFarland’s
request to give up two of our seven community parking spots so he could put a driveway
on the other side. The HOA also expressed that we do not want to change the view, see a
house in the immediate view, or have windows facing our home, as well as several other
issues.
Desiree Hedberg
- I am a therapist with my business adjacent to the subject property, and my concern is the
construction noise could be significant and impact my business in a very negative way. My
question is what the audio impact might be?
Terence J. Szewczyk, Applicant
- If we have overlooked the formal HOA Architectural Committee review of the plans, we will
complete that.
Jay Plett, Architect
- The window that faces the townhomes is a bedroom window, not a place where people
will gather and be looking down. The house has a 6.5-foot setback, but then there is 20
feet of parking and then a road for the townhomes, so the proposed home and its windows
would be probably 30 feet away from anybody. The existing McFarland’s home is just as
close to the street, and there are townhomes that almost border on the road. There is
noise when anything is built, but we don’t anticipate driving piles or anything that would
make excessive noise, just typical construction noise.

July 30, 2024 – Below is the Regency Court Architectural Committee ‘Findings and Recommendations’ to Regency Court
Board. Not in numerical order of importance.
The Regency Court Board HOA expects confirmation that the following items will be addressed by the 120 Oak Meadow
homeowner and Town of Los Gatos to the Regency Court HOA Architectural Committee and Board of Directors prior to
Town approval and commencement of construction at 120 Oak Meadow Drive.
See Owner Responses in blue dated October 9, 2024.
1) A request is made for a rendering, drawing or sketch of the proposed home shown behind the brick wall. Rending
needs to show house roof and windows with current view of existing trees from upper Oak Meadow Drive. The
request is made to provide a visual representation of the proposed structure and to provide a visual illustration of
the structure’s height/size prior to “story poles” being installed. The concern is whether the rising morning sun will
be blocked by the structure, the existing shadow example does not do this.
As shown in the expanded shadow study A-5 the proposed structure will not block the morning sun.
The rendering illustrates that the proposed home is modest in size and to scale with the site. At 22 ft. at the peak and
15 ft. at the eaves it is lower than the branches of the Valley Oak and considerably lower than existing home at 120
Oak Meadow and Town Homes.
The Town of Los Gatos eliminated its story pole requirement last April. This follows a CA state requirement that the
Town must loosen constraints on housing developments to receive certification of its housing element plan.
2) CC&R Items related to existing and proposed homes: Agree that CC&Rs will need to be amended, cost to be borne by
120 Oak Meadow.
a. It shall be a requirement of the RCHOA that the new lot is subject to the same Regency Court architectural
approval requirements as outlined in the Regency Court HOA CC&R’s covering the existing Lot #11 (120 Oak
Meadow Drive). HOA CC&Rs including architectural control must cover both the existing and new lots.
b. Also, current 120 Oak Meadow Owner to determine if they want to allocate a portion of the required
assessment responsibility for maintenance and upkeep of Oak Meadow Drive – a private drive – to the
proposed new lot/home or retain full responsibility for assessments related to road upkeep.
Current 120 Oak Meadow Property to retain full responsibility.
c. It is anticipated that both of these items will require an amendment to the CC&Rs. Such amendment (e.g.
hiring of an attorney, recordation of amendment, etc.) to be borne by 120 Oak Meadow.
3) Approval must include a requirement that current or future owners cannot take down the brick wall or make any
modifications to the brick wall now and in the future. Plan already indicates that it will be retained – see A-1 (E).
Language can be expanded in CC&Rs if necessary. Wall to be extended north using same vertical siding as 2nd story of
house and privets to be retained. See A-1.
4) Current Floor plan, (exhibit A3, A4) is unclear as the space labeled 'OFFICE’ looks to be a 4th bedroom as it has a
closet, and the Architect said the room requires egress which appears to be the underlying reason for the window
facing upper Oak Meadow Drive. The Architectural Committee recommends that the windows facing upper Oak
Meadow are to be eliminated. As a compromise, the Architectural Committee would be amenable to move the
Page 108
windows to the sides of the room which face the existing home at 120 Oak Meadow and/or face the commercial
property in order to satisfy egress requirements. The Committee also would be amenable to the addition of sky
lights if necessary to satisfy egress requirements. Architectural drawing (A5 elevation drawing) appears to already
show windows on side walls.
Jay Plett, Architect discussed request with Robert Gray, Town Building Official who indicated that this window is an
egress window required by Town ordinance independent of use of room. Jay believes that a 2nd story window facing
upper Oak Meadow is an important design feature.
Homeowner and HOA agreed to retain window with condition that obscure glass be used. See Rendering and West
Elevation which contains notes that this window to be obscure glass.
5) No exit from behind the house to the front/upper portion of Oak Meadow Drive. All occupant ingress & egress
needs to occur from lower Oak Meadow Drive via newly built driveway. No ability to exit through the door in the
wall along upper Oak Meadow Drive.
Owner understands HOA concern and believes signs recently posted by HOA provide adequate deterrence. As
indicated in 3) above, fence to be extended north of existing brick wall. As shown in A-1 and agreed to in meeting,
fence will have small gate opening to landing of Lot 12 stairs to allow owner to access property in front of wall/fence
for maintenance including trimming of ivy, weeding and leaf blowing. This is needed so owner will not be required to
walk down the driveway, walk up the hill to the top of Oak Meadow and around the corner carrying gardening
equipment.
6) Property needs to include 2 guest parking spots that do not block the new driveway so visitors are not tempted to
use HOA parking spots.
Town of Los Gatos does not require guest parking. Parking pad near garage and driveway will provide ample parking
for guests. Agreed to with HOA in meeting.
7) The HOA Board requests confirmation that garbage cans for the new property must be located on the backside by
the driveway entrance (lower Oak Meadow Drive). No additional garbage, recycle or yard waste bins will be placed
in front of the 120 Oak Meadow Drive residence/road. Agreed - See note at the bottom of A-1 indicating garbage
service to be located at bottom of driveway per HOA.
8) If road damage occurs during construction, cost to restore back to original condition will be borne by 120 owners.
“Damage" to the HOA road is defined as any physical alteration or deterioration beyond normal wear and tear
caused by the Builder's construction activities. This includes, but is not limited to, structural damage such as cracks,
fractures, or breaks in the asphalt, deformation or subsidence of the road surface, potholes, and damage to the road
edges. It also encompasses material residue like cement or gravel causing staining or surface roughness, debris
obstructing the road, and any drainage or erosion issues caused by construction runoff. The Builder shall be
responsible for all repair costs to restore the HOA road to its original condition prior to construction. If builder and
HOA agree to resurface all of Oak Meadow Drive instead, 120 owners and HOA will share the costs 50%/50%.
See items 75 and 76 of Draft Conditions of Approval dated July 24, 2024, which address this concern.
9) The Committee requests Town to c ommunicate the days and start/stop hours of construction. Create a plan and
communicate to HOA where workers and construction vehicles will park (there is NO available parking on Oak
Meadow Drive either upper or lower). Parking cannot occur in any HOA designated spots without prior written
Page 109
communication and approval from the Regency Court HOA Board (see Board e-mail addresses, below). All
construction traffic must enter from Blossom Hill Road.
See item 48 of Draft Conditions of Approval dated July 24, 2024, which covers Construction Hours and items 32
Construction Management Plan and 53 Construction Vehicle Parking which address your concerns.
See Construction Site Access plan in upper left corner of A-1 including note that HOA to be provided with contractor,
owner and architects phone numbers.
See also Construction Staging/Parking plan in lower left corner of A-1.
10) Erect a construction barrier to protect dirt and dust from impacting newly painted HOA residences. Install prior to
commencement of construction. A construction debris barrier will be erected on upper Oak Meadow to limit dust –
See upper A-1. Best construction practices to be followed to control dust including periodic water spraying. Hand
digging around oak trees will also limit dust.
