CEQA:
The project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to the adopted Guidelines for the Implementation
of the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15301: Existing Facilities. No significant
effect on the environment will occur since the project uses an existing structure with no
increase in floor area.
FINDINGS:
▪ As required, pursuant to the adopted Guidelines for the Implementation of the California
Environmental Quality Act, this project is Categorically Exempt, Section 15301: Existing
Facilities.
▪ As required by Section 29.20.190 of the Town Code for granting a Conditional Use Permit.
ACTION:
The decision of the Planning Commission is final unless appealed within ten days.
BACKGROUND:
The proposed project would occupy a commercial space that was last occupied by a retail
stationery store (Out of the Envelope), but has been vacant for four months. The subject space
is one of four commercial suites located on the property.
The applicant is requesting approval of a CUP for a minor restaurant (Glazier) in the 775-square
foot space.
DISCUSSION:
A. Location and Surrounding Neighborhood
The project is located at 326 N. Santa Cruz Avenue, on the east side of N. Santa Cruz
Avenue, between Los Gatos-Saratoga Road and Bachman Avenue (Exhibit 1). Adjacent
properties and those directly across the street are located in the C-2 zone and are
developed with commercial buildings.
B. Conditional Use Permit
The applicant is requesting approval of a minor restaurant for the sale of ice cream (Glazier)
in the tenant space that was previously occupied by a retail stationery store (Out of the
Envelope). The hours of operation would be: Sunday to Friday, 10:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.;

and Saturday 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. The applicant has provided a letter of justification
which includes a description of their business plan (Exhibit 4).
When reviewing a CUP, the deciding body should consider the information in the applicant’s
business plan; however, the key consideration should be the explicit proposed use since the
business plan can change from owner to owner. The explicit use may be, and is often,
defined in the recommended conditions of approval as a “use” condition. The CUP runs
with the land, and the deciding body should review applications based on the explicit use as
opposed to the applicant or the applicant’s business plan.
C. Zoning Compliance
The proposed business is a restaurant use because it is a retail food service establishment in
which food or beverages are prepared, served, and sold to customers for on-site or take out
consumption. The proposed business falls under the minor restaurant use because it
provides less than 25 seats; serves no alcoholic beverages; proposes no significant exterior
changes that would alter the architectural character of the building; and provides a net
increase of less than five peak hour traffic trips (Town Code Sec. 29.10.020). Pursuant to
the Table of Conditional Uses (Town Code Sec. 29.20.185), a restaurant use is allowed with
a CUP in the C-2 zone. Pursuant to Town Code section 29.20.750, the Planning Commission
is the decision-making body for minor restaurants proposed to be located in the C-2 zone.
D. Restaurant Uses in the Downtown Area
In 1996, the Town Council adopted Ordinance 2021 that is “intended to discourage the
displacement of retail uses by restaurant uses by requiring the Planning Commission to
conduct a careful review of all applications for new restaurant uses in the C-2 zone through
the public hearing process.”
While the application would be replacing a former retail use, the proposed improvements
would not restrict a retail use from easily occupying the space in the future. The
Commission should carefully consider the potential impact of the conversion of this space in
the downtown.
ANALYSIS:
A. Project Summary
The proposed minor restaurant (Glazier) would occupy a 775-square foot commercial space
within an existing commercial building. The business would be serving ice cream, coffee,
and tea. There are no exterior alterations to the existing building proposed as part of the
proposed use.

N:\DEV\PC REPORTS\2018\NSC 326-CUP - Glazier.docx 3/9/2018 12:42 PM
The business is proposed to operate in a made-to-order fashion, where ice cream can be
mixed with various seasonal fruits and other toppings. The applicant is proposing eight
seats. The hours of operation would be, Sunday to Friday, 10:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.; and
Saturday, 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 a.m.
The applicant has provided a letter of justification (Exhibit 4), and development plans
(Exhibit 5) describing the proposal.
B. Parking and Traffic
The commercial use was previously occupied by a retail use (Out of the Envelope) and there
will be no increase in traffic impacts or required parking.
C. Conditional Use Permit Findings
In order to grant approval of a CUP, the deciding body must make the following findings:
1. The proposed use of the property is essential or desirable to the public convenience or
welfare; and
2. The proposed use would not impair the integrity and character of the zone; and
3. The proposed use would not be detrimental to public health, safety or general welfare;
and
4. The proposed use of the property is in harmony with the various elements or objectives
of the General Plan and the purposes of the Town Code.
In regards to the first finding, the proposed use is desirable to the public convenience
because it will provide food and beverage options in the Downtown. As required by the
second finding, the proposed use would not impair the integrity of the zone, in that the
proposed use is a commercial use and would be located in a commercial zone. In regards to
the third finding, the proposed use would not be detrimental to public health, safety, or
general welfare, as the conditions placed on the permit would maintain the welfare of the
community. In regards to the final finding, the proposed use would be in conformance with
the Town Code and would be consistent with the General Plan. On page two of the
justification letter, the applicant addresses how each finding is met (Exhibit 4).
D. General Plan
The minor restaurant use is consistent with the Central Business District General Plan
Designation for the property which envisions a mixture of retail, office, and residential in a
mixed-use setting, along with lodging, service, auto-related businesses, non-manufacturing
industrial uses, recreational uses, and restaurants.

services and/or creates employment opportunities for local residents consistent with
overall land use policies of the Town.
• Goal LU-10 – To preserve Downtown Los Gatos as the historic center of the Town with
goods and services for local residents while maintaining the existing Town identity,
environment, and commercial vitality.
E. Environmental Review
The project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to the adopted Guidelines for the
Implementation of California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15301: Existing Facilities.
No significant effect on the environment will occur since the project uses an existing
structure with no increase in floor area.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
No public comments have been received.
CONCLUSION:
A. Summary
Staff has recommended conditions of approval for the proposed business (Exhibit 3). The
subject property has adequate parking in the parking assessment district to accommodate
the proposed use. The proposed use is in conformance with the Town Code and is
consistent with the General Plan.
B. Recommendation
Based on the analysis above, staff recommends approval of the CUP application subject to
the recommended conditions of approval (Exhibit 3). If the Planning Commission finds
merit with the proposed project, it should:

RECEIVED
Letter of Justification ~EB O 8 2018
TOWN O F L O S GATOS
We would like to open an ice cream shop at 326 N Santa Cruz, Los Gatos. This sho {s~1 ~J'JM'4G DIVISION
currently empty and was previously used as retail space until few months back. This is relatively
smaller location (775 Sqft) and we are looking for CUP for minor restaurant.
Ours will be a specialty ice cream shop . The objective is to create a unique ice cream experience
for the residents of Los Gatos by bringing together the heritage of Asian Ice cream making with
trendy flavors and state of art technology. The way the ice cream is made and served is visually
different from that of run of the mill ice creams available in the market.
The ice cream is made one at a time for each customer using small ice cream machines. The ice
cream base is mixed with seasonal fruits and other additives (chocolate, marsh mellow,
strawberry, blue berry, mango) to customize the flavor for the customers.
Along with ice cream, the shop will also sell hot beverages (tea, coffee) to the customers.
Key characteristic of the ice cream:
• It is easy to integrate different flavors with this ice cream. Thus, open to
experimentation. Ube (Purple yam) and Pandan are two such flavors that aren't served
in ice cream stores here in USA
• The way we make the ice cream is a visual treat for customers and the product is built
on natural human tendencies to create and share. In other words, the process and the
product is social media (Snap chat, lnstagram, FB) friendly and appeal to kids (and by
extension, their parents) and the general population.
• Vegan, non-dairy, low/no added sugar ice cream options will also be available.
We would like to serve a unique experience to the customers. Uniqueness is the key
differentiation for our business. From the way the ice cream is manufactured (one at a time for
each customer, on the spot), to the flavors (Pandan and Ube are two such examples) to
customer service are different from other ice cream shop .
EXHIBIT 4
a. The proposed uses of the property are essential or desirable to the public convenience or
welfare;
The town of Los Gatos, specifically the N. Santa Cruz Ave, the proposed location of the ice
cream shop and nearby localities, does not have specialty ice cream shops that provide great
taste and visually appealing, hand crafted ice creams . The area is family oriented with lots of
kids and parents who come to the main business district often. The locals here are health
conscious. There is also shortage of non-dairy/vegan ice cream choices for the people in the
community. Our ice cream shop will provide delicious ice creams that are healthier and will
serve the need of all people (including, but not limited to the vegans and lactose intolerant
customers). We believe that more choices to the customers are a good thing. Also, the way the
ice cream is made is visually appealing and will be great addition to the diversity of business
district.
b. The proposed uses will not impair the integrity and character of the zone
We are consulting with a top rated design firm (Pixxe1Studio 18) to design our shop. We have
made sure that shop look and feel trendy and in harmony with other shops and architecture
around us. We will also plan to modify the entrance with electronically operable door that may
be more convenient for people with disabilities to access our products. We are not undertaking
any major structural changes to the building that will change the characters of the building or
impair the integrity or character of the zone .
c. The proposed uses would not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general welfare;
and
We take safety and public health seriously. We are not using any gas oven or other open flames
to make our products, thereby reducing the chance of fire hazards. We neither use nor store
any hazardous material in the shop.
We have already discussed garbage collection with West Valley Collection and & Recycling LLC
and will sign contract for regular garbage collection.
d. The proposed uses of the property are in harmony with the various elements or objectives of
the general plan and the purposes of this chapter
We will source most of the raw materials locally. We also plan to hire employees locally (we
plan to hire 4 to 6 people), thereby creating job opportunities for locals. We believe that our
shop will be a great addition to the diversity and prosperity of Los Gatos downtown area and
thereby creating harmonious relationship with the various elements and objectives of the town
of Los Gatos. We firmly believe that our ice cream shop will be a perfect addition to the town of
Los Gatos .
Description of restaurant:
Will you make the ice cream on -site, or make it off-site?
The ice cream will be made on-site, one at a time, customized for each customer.
Do you intend this to be a take-out restaurant?
This will mostly be a take out type restaurant. The space is limited (only 775 sq ft). We will still
need to have few seating (requested for 8 seating) for customers who would be as the ice
creams/ beverages are being made .
If the existing parking condition allows you to have seats, how many could you fit within the
floorplan?
As the shop space is limited, we can have seating arrangement only for 8 customers . The
proposed floor plan ("Please see Sheet Al attached) shows the seating arrangement at the
restaurant .
Do you propose to change the building at all?
We will not make major structural changes to building. The proposed uses will not i mpair the
integrity and character of the zone;
Do you have a lease signed yet with the owner?
Yes, The lease has been signed.
