PROPERTY OWNER SANTA CRUZ WILDER, LLC
APPLICANT: JOHN LIEN
APPELLANTS: SANTA CRUZ WIELDER, LLC AND LEE QUINTANA
WHEREAS:
A. This matter came before the Town Council for public hearing on April 7, 2008, and
was regularly noticed in conformance with State and Town law.
B. Council received testimony and documentary evidence from the appellants, the
applicant, and all interested persons who wished to testify or submit documents. Council considered
all testimony and materials submitted, including the record of the Planning Commission proceedings
and the packet of material contained in the Council Agenda Report dated April 3, 2007.
C. The project includes a number of applications intended to make physical and use
changes to the property, which includes two parcels 115 North Santa Cruz Avenue and 112 Wilder
Avenue - that are currently used as a fine dining restaurant and parking. The General Plan
amendment is intended to change the designation of a portion of the Wilder Avenue parcel, currently
used for parking, from Medium Density Residential to Central Business District, and the zone
ATTACHMENT 1
change amendment is intended to change the same portion of the parking lot parcel from R-1D:LHP
to C-2:LHP. The subdivision application is intended to approve a lot line adjustment on the Wilder
Avenue parcel. The variance application is intended to remove the parking spaces located on a
portion of the Wilder Avenue parcel from the Parking Assessment District, because the zoning code
otherwise requires that parking spaces included in the calculation of the District cannot be
eliminated. Cumulatively, these changes are intended to make the Wilder Avenue parcel suitable for
development of a single family residence while merging the remaining portion of that parcel and its
remaining parking spaces with the North Santa Cruz Avenue parcel. The Conditional Use Permit
application is intended to reduce the allowed seating for a fine dining restaurant and limit the
restaurant to the first floor and basement. The Architecture and Site application is intended to
construct two detached commercial building on the Santa Cruz Avenue parcel in the front yard of the
existing historic Coggeshall Mansion, and to modify the exterior of the Mansion to provide an
exterior stairway and to replace an existing window with a door to accommodate the stair access, and
lastly to add new parking spaces along the alley.
D. The applications were considered by the Planning Commission on January 23 and
February 13, 2008. The Commission recommended approval of the General Plan amendment from
Medium Density Residential to Central Business District for a portion of the parking lot parcel, and
the zone change from R-1D:LHP to C-2:LHP for a portion of the parking lot parcel. The
Commission approved the subdivision application for the lot line adjustment (contingent upon
Council approval of the General Plan amendment and zone change), a modification of the
Conditional Use Permit for conversion of an existing fine dining restaurant into a smaller fine dining
restaurant on the first floor and basement, a variance to covert the existing parking lot fronting on
Wilder Avenue to a residential use, and a portion of the Architecture and Site application to modify
the exterior of the existing commercial building and to add parking along the west side of the alley.
The Commission denied the portion of the Architecture and Site application seeking approval of two
detached retail structures at the front of the property adjacent to North Santa Cruz Avenue. The
Commission made the negative declaration to the extent it relates to the project other than the two
detached commercial buildings.
E. There are two appeals: the first was filed by the property owner Santa Cruz Wilder,
LLC, and the second was filed by a Town resident, Lee Quintana. In its appeal, Santa Cruz Wilder,
LLC argues that the Architecture and Site application was not required by their application, which,
according to them, concerns minor changes to an existing structure and accessory buildings. Santa
Cruz Wilder LLC further argues that the Planning Commission erred in discussing land use rather
than design, in failing to consider project consistency with the General Plan, in failing to accept the
position of the Historic Preservation Committees that the proposed detached structures were
acceptable to the Historic Preservation Committee, in focusing on the impact on the visibility on the
historic mansion, and in failing to consider the balance between preservation and enhancing
livability and supporting the economic vitality. Quintana argues in her appeal that the initial study
and proposed mitigated negative declaration are not adequate in assessing the impact to the historic
structure and setting and that there is a fair argument to require an environmental impact report.
F. The decision-of the Planning Commission was correct.
G. Council finds as follows:
1. The findings of the Planning Commission made on February 13, 2008, are
adopted and incorporated herein.
2. The General Plan amendment is internally consistent with the General Plan
in that the change facilitates a lot line adjustment and lot merger allowing the Wilder Avenue
parcel to be used for single family residential purposes similar to the surrounding neighborhood
and the remaining portion of the Wilder Avenue parcel to continue being used for commercial
purposes.
3. The zone change is consistent with the General Plan as described above.
4. Pursuant to Town Code section 29.20.170, granting a variance to relieve
the Wilder Avenue parcel of the requirement to maintain parking spaces is due to special
circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape, topography, location or
surroundings, which deprives the property of-privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity
and under identical zone, including its location within the Parking Assessment District which
otherwise requires retention of the spaces, whether or not required by uses on the property, and its
location within a residential district resulting in an undesirable use (parking) adjacent to single
family residential uses, and otherwise prohibiting its use as residential property consistent with
adjacent parcels also zoned to allow residential use. Granting a variance would not constitute a
grant of special privileges inconsistent with limitations on other properties in the vicinity and zone
for the same reasons discussed above.
5. Pursuant to Town Code section 29.20.190, granting a Conditional Use
Permit is appropriate because: the proposed uses of the property are essential or desirable to the
public convenience or welfare, as demonstrated by evidence throughout the Council Agenda
Report dated April 3, 2008, that the conditional use permit will allow the continuation of a
successful fine dining restaurant while also allowing an office use upstairs in the Mansion
consistent with the allowed uses in the commercial zoning district, thus maximizing the utility of
the property; the proposed uses will not impair the integrity and character of the zone, as
demonstrated by evidence in the Council Agenda Report dated April 3, 2008 showing that the
proposed uses are consistent with the existing and allowed uses within the commercial zoning
district; the proposed uses will not be detrimental to public health, safety or general welfare as
demonstrated above and the lack of evidence of any harm resulting from the proposed uses on the
property; and, the proposed uses are in harmony with the various elements or objectives of the
General Plan and the purposes of the Town Code, as demonstrated above.
6. The work proposed is consistent with the Redevelopment Plan for the Los
Gatos Redevelopment Project Area, as demonstrated above.
7. The proposed mitigated negative declaration is sufficient with regard to the
applications approved by the Planning Commission, including the portion of the Architecture and
Site application approved by the Commission, which excluded the two detached commercial
buildings at the front of the North Santa Cruz Avenue parcel. There is no evidence in the record
demonstrating a potentially significant environmental impact arising out of any of the
applications, excluding the portion of the Architecture and Site application concerning the two
detached commercial buildings at the front of the North Santa Cruz Avenue parcel. The Mitigated
Negative Declaration is not approved with regard to the two detached commercial buildings, the
denial of which by the Planning Commission being upheld herein by Council. A new
environmental analysis would be required should any future application be made for additional
buildings on the North Santa Cruz Avenue parcel.
RESOLVED:
The appeals of the decision of the Planning Commission regarding General Plan
Amendment application GP-07-01, Zone Change application Z-07-001, Architecture and Site
application 5-07-019, Conditional Use Permit application U-07-020, Subdivision application
-07-005, Variance application V-07-01, and Negative Declaration ND-07-10 are denied.
2. The conditions of approval for Architecture and Site application 5-07-019,
Conditional Use Permit application U-07-020, Subdivision application -07-005 are attached
hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibits A, B and C.
3. The Mitigation Monitoring Plan, attached hereto and incorporated herein as
Exhibit D, is approved.
4. The decision constitutes a final administrative decision pursuant to Code of Civil
Procedure section 1094.6 as adopted by section 1.10.085 of the Town Code of the Town of Los
Gatos. Any application for judicial relief from this decision must be sought within the time limits
and pursuant to the procedures established by Code of Civil Procedure section 1094.6, or such
shorter time as required by State and Federal Law.
