RESOLUTION 2025-
RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL
OF THE TOWN OF LOS GATOS
AMENDING THE GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION FROM CENTRAL BUSINESS
DISTRICT TO MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL
FOR PROPERTY AT 4 TAIT AVENUE.
WHEREAS, the applicant requests approval to change the General Plan Land Use
designation from Central Business District to Medium Density Residential on property located
at 4 Tait Avenue (Santa Clara County Assessor Parcel Number 510-44-054); and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the General Plan
amendment at its regularly noticed public hearing on December 10, 2025, finding that the
Medium Density Residential designation is consistent with the land use designations of
neighboring properties and consistent with the proposed use of the property; and
WHEREAS, this matter was regularly noticed in conformance with State and Town law
and came before the Town Council for public hearing on ______________, 2025; and
WHEREAS, the Town Council accepted the report of the Planning Commission’s
recommendation of approval for the proposed General Plan amendment; and
WHEREAS, the Town Council considered all facts and information related to a request to
change the General Plan Land Use designation for the property at 4 Tait Avenue from Central
Business District to Medium Density Residential as shown on Exhibit A.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Council of the Town of Los Gatos
does hereby declare, determine, and order that the following findings are made by the Town
Council of the Town of Los Gatos:
1. The project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to the adopted Guidelines for the
Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15061(b)(3), in that it
can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed amendments to the
General Plan and Town Code will have a significant effect on the environment, because the
project does not include any modification that would affect the historical significance of the
building.
2. This amendment is in the public interest because it changes the Land Use designation to
Medium Density Residential consistent with the proposed R-1D zoning and provides for
multiple-family residential, duplex, and/or small single-family homes consistent with the
surrounding parcels.
