ORDINANCE
AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN OF LOS GATOS AMENDING THE ZONING
ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN CODE REGARDING
SECTIONS 29.10.020, 29.20.185, AND 29.20.190.
WHEREAS, the Town of Los Gatos has long been recognized as having a unique retail environment
with an unusual mix of retail businesses in terms of type, ownership and appearance, that distinguishes it
from other retail areas and has contributed to its long time vibrancy and financial success.
WHEREAS, an increase in the existing number of formula businesses potentially threatens the
Town's unique retail environment in a number of ways, including, but not limited to, the replacement of
small, locally owned businesses that often feature unique physical appearances and offer unusual or
uncommon products or product lines. This can occur either by the replacement of existing retail businesses
with new formula retail businesses, or by retail businesses with the capacity to overwhelm existing
businesses. An over concentration of formula retail business can result in a retail environment that is
indistinguishable from those located elsewhere in the region, the state and the nation.
WHEREAS, the Town's General Plan contains numerous goals, policies and implementing
strategies intended to preserve its unique retail environment. For example, the land use designation CBD
for the Central Business District (2.4.2) is described as "[encouraging] a mixture of community -oriented
commercial goods, services and lodging, that is unique in its acconunodation of small town style merchants
and the maintenance of a small town feel and character, " while descriptions of the Mixed Use,
Neighborhood and Service Commercial districts emphasizes maintaining and servicing the needs of the
small town residential scale and natural environments of adjacent residential neighborhoods. Elsewhere,
concerning the historic downtown area, is a goal to maintain mixture of goods and services, identity,
environment and commercial viability (L.G.6.2) and apolicyto "[e]ncourage the development and retention
Page 1 of 3
of small businesses and locally -owned stores and ships that are consistent with small town character and
scale" (L.P.6.2).
WHEREAS, Council's intent in adopting this ordinance is to ensure the exercise of greater control
over the location of new formula retail businesses in the Town in order to meet the goals, policies and
implementing strategies of the Town's General Plan and avoid the transition of the Town's unique retail
environment into one that is homogenous with retail areas in other communities.
THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF LOS GATOS DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I
Town Code section 29.20.020 is amended to read as follows:
