The ABAG report attempts to meet the State requirements while at the same time recognizing the housing potentials of the local community and the continuation of the present income mix of the population of the community. In essence, the numbers in this study indicate the proportion of units to be added to the Town's housing stock by income or ownership category which would preserve the present income mix of Los Gatos. The report summarizes the data in several tables; excerpts for Los Gatos are: (1) EXISTING HOUSING NEED, 1980 Need 1980 as % of Existing 1980 Housing Housing Stock Need Available 59 0.55% (2) PRO 1985 Projected Households 11,351 JECTED HOUSING NEED, 1985 1980 -85 Total Available Projected Housing Needed Increase in in 1985 Housing Needed 11,745 969 (3) NEEDED RENTAL STOCK INCREASE IN 1985 TO MAINTAIN ESTIMATED 1980 RENIAL PERCENTAGE Needed Rental Units Increase in in Available 1980 1980 Available Stock Increase Percentage Percentage Stock for to Maintain Owner Renter 1985 1980:Rental 67.0 33.0 969 320 (4) 1985 PROJECTED NEED, 1985, BY INCOME CATEGORY .

The Town's basic problem with the numbers is seen in numbers 2 and 4 above. The projection of 969 new units between 1980 and 1985 is impossible (not necessarily due to market forces) because under current Town zoning the total buildout for the Town (excluding the West Valley Transportation Corridor right -of -way) is 935 units (including 133 in the hillsides). This number is based on maximum potential which is rarely approved by the Town. The other problem with the numbers in 4 is that the Town does not have the necessary statistics or ability to verify either methodology, not withstanding the problem of whether it's even feasible for the Town to consider building 136 (137) moderate income, 78 (116) low income, or 78 (213) very low income units by 1985 or even 1990.
