WHEREAS:
A. On September 23, 1992 the Planning Commission recommended that the
Town Council certify the Environmental Impact Report prepared for a proposed zone
change and subdivision application to divide 94.7 acres of hillside land into 27 single family
lots as a planned development with permanent open space an public trails (Environmental
Impact Report EIR- 87 -1A); and
B. The Town Council held a public hearing on October 19, 1992 to consider
certification of EIR- 87 -IA.
RESOLVED:
The Town Council hereby certifies that it has reviewed and considered the
information in the Environmental Impact Report (EIR 87 -1A) and that the Environmental
Impact Report has been completed in compliance with the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and State and Town Guidelines.
The Town Council finds and cautions the applicant that, based on the information
in the EIR and the results of observations made during the Council's visit of the site with
the Planning Commission, the project appears to have the potential for many significant
environmental effects which may not be reduced to an acceptable level even by
conditioning the project on performance of the mitigation measures identified in the EIR;
and that, therefore, there is a very significant probability that if the project, as defined in
the EIR, came to the Council, there would be minimal likelihood of its approval.
PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Town Council of the Town
of Los Gatos, California, held on the 16th day of November, 1992 by the following vote.
