Attachment 2 7-1 7. TOWN OF LOS GATOS 7.1 HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN POINT OF CONTACT Primary Point of Contact Alternate Point of Contact Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager Town Manager’s Office 110 East Main Street Los Gatos, CA 95030 Telephone: 408-354-6832 e-mail Address: lprevetti@losgatosca.gov Lt. J. R. Langer Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Dept. 110 East Main Street Los Gatos, CA 95030 Telephone: 408-399-5719 e-mail Address: jlanger@losgatosca.gov 7.2 JURISDICTION PROFILE The following is a summary of key information about the jurisdiction and its history:  Date of Incorporation—August 10, 1887  Current Population—31,376 as of January 1, 2016.  Population Growth—Based on the data obtained from the State Department of Finance, Los Gatos has experienced a relatively flat rate of growth. The overall population has increased by only 0.7 percent since 2015. Los Gatos population is expected to grow marginally per decade through 2030.  Location and Description—The Town of Los Gatos, California is nestled at the base of the Sierra Azules, approximately 50 miles south of San Francisco, in the southwestern portion of Santa Clara County where the Santa Clara Valley meets the lower slopes of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Los Gatos is bounded by the City of San Jose to the north and east, the City of Campbell to the north, the Cities of Monte Sereno and Saratoga to the west, and the unincorporated County of Santa Clara and the County of Santa Cruz to the south. Los Gatos encompasses a wide variety of terrain, both the valley and hillsides are interspersed with creeks, streams, and riparian habitat.  Brief History—The name Los Gatos comes from “El Rancho de Los Gatos,” a ranch established in 1839 by a Mexican land grant and so named because of the large number of mountain lions in the area. Wheat production in the mid 1800s gave way to orchards, and rapid growth ensued when the railroad reached Los Gatos in 1878. Residential subdivisions were built and by 1887, the population had grown to 1,500 and Los Gatans voted to incorporate. Highway 17 was constructed through the center of Town, opening in 1940. Los Gatos grew slowly over the first 80 years, but today Los Gatos covers nearly 15 square miles and has a population of over 30,000.  Climate—Los Gatos enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate. Summers are dry and warm in the 80 to 100- degree range. Winters are temperate and semi-moist in the 40 to 60-degree range. Los Gatos receives most of its precipitation in December through March. The average annual precipitation is 14.9 inches. It is rare to have rain in the summer months. Santa Clara Operational Area Hazard Mitigation Plan; Volume 2—Planning Partner Annexes 7-2  Governing Body Format—The Town of Los Gatos is governed by a five-member Town Council who sets policy that the Town Manager is responsible to administer (City Manager form of government). The Town Council assumes responsibility for the adoption of this Plan, and the Town Manager will oversee its implementation. The Town consists of nine departments: Town Manager’s Office, Clerk, Town Attorney, Finance, Human Resources, Library, Police, Community Development, and Parks and Public Works. The Town is served by 14 Boards, Commissions, and Committees, which are advisory to the Town Council. 7.3 DEVELOPMENT TRENDS Anticipated residential and commercial development levels for Los Gatos are low to moderate, consisting primarily of residential remodels, the completion of the Netflix headquarters, and commercial renovations. The Town’s Housing Element, certified in 2015, identifies strategies to meet the Town’s fair share of the regional housing needs, including a focus on affordable housing and increasing the number of second units on existing properties. The Town of Los Gatos updated its General Plan in 2010. In addition to the Housing Element, the General Plan also includes elements regarding land use, community design, transportation, open space, sustainability, noise, safety, and human services. Town actions related to land use designations, annexation, zoning, and capital improvements, must always be consistent with the General Plan. Future growth and development in the Town is managed in accordance with the General Plan. Table 7-1 summarizes development trends in the performance period since development of the previous hazard mitigation plan and expected future development trends. 7.4 CAPABILITY ASSESSMENT 7.4.1 Resources for the 2017 Planning Initiative The following technical reports, plans, and regulatory mechanisms were reviewed to provide information for inclusion into the 2017 Multi-Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan for both Volume 1 and Volume 2 (Town of Los Gatos Annex). All of the below items were additionally reviewed as part of the full capability assessment for Town of Los Gatos.  Town of Los Gatos General Plan—The General Plan, including the Land Use and Safety Elements, were reviewed for information regarding goals and policies consistent with hazard mitigation for carry over as goals and objectives.  Town of Los Gatos Municipal Code—The Municipal Code was reviewed for the full capability assessment and for identifying opportunities for action plan integration.  Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance—The Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance was reviewed for compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program.  Capital Improvement Program—The Town’s Five Year Capital Improvement Program was reviewed to identify cross-planning initiatives for inclusion as mitigation projects.  Sustainability Plan—The Sustainability Plan was reviewed for information regarding climate change.  Technical Reports and Information—Outside resources and references used to complete the Town of Los Gatos Annex are identified in Section 7.11 of this annex. 7.

Yes  If yes, give the estimated area annexed and estimated number of parcels or structures. Land Area Annexed: 1.05 AC, 4 Parcels Is your jurisdiction expected to annex any areas during the performance period of this plan? Yes  If yes, please describe land areas and dominant uses. Residential land areas  If yes, who currently has permitting authority over these areas? Town Council Approval Are any areas targeted for development or major redevelopment in the next five years? Yes  If yes, please briefly describe, including whether any of the areas are in known hazard risk areas North Forty Development (Corner of Los Gatos Blvd. & Lark Ave.) Flood Zone How many building permits were issued in your jurisdiction since the development of the previous hazard mitigation plan? 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 Single Family 685 736 765 809 873 Multi-Family 0 3 4 0 1 Other (commercial, mixed use, etc.) 90 118 123 132 143 Please provide the number of permits for each hazard area or provide a qualitative description of where development has occurred. Accela (permit system) allows for data input for hazard area type (i.e. Fire Hazard), but does not allow the Town to sort by area. The Town has Fire, Flood, and Hillside (landslide) zones that can be inputted into the system. Development has occurred throughout the Town during the performance period for this plan. For those hazards with a clearly defined extent and location, the Town cannot estimate development impacts. For those hazards with impacts town-wide, it is safe to assume that this new development could be subject to impacts from those hazards. However, it is important to note that all new development was subject to the regulatory capabilities identified in this annex. Please describe the level of buildout in the jurisdiction, based on your jurisdiction’s buildable lands inventory. If no such inventory exists, provide a qualitative description. 7.4.2 Full Capability Assessment An assessment of legal and regulatory capabilities is presented in Table 7-2.
