TOWN OF LOS GATOS
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 11/19/2019
ITEM NO: 8
DATE: November 14, 2019
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Approving the Final Map for Tract No. 10514 (258 Union
Avenue) and Accepting the Dedications
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) approving the Final Map for Tract No. 10514 (258 Union
Avenue) and accepting the dedications.
BACKGROUND:
On March 27, 2019, the Planning Commission considered the subdivision project at 258 Union
Avenue, received public comment, and approved its respective applications.
The developer, Cashmere Bouquet 1031, L.L.C., has filed the Final Map for Tract No. 10514 to
subdivide and create seven new parcels and to dedicate to the Town both Public Service and
Emergency Vehicle Access Easements. Acceptance of the dedications will allow for this.
DISCUSSION:
The parcel map merges two existing parcels, totaling 0.75 acres, and subdivides the resultant
into one parcel for the construction of a mixed-use commercial building with three attached
multi-family condominiums on the northern portion of the site, and six parcels for the
construction of detached single-family condominiums with a private driveway on the southern
portion of the site. The developer has provided all necessary maps and drawings. The
developer is required to provide the required contracts, bonds, and liability insurance to
guarantee the construction of all improvements. The developer has paid the appropriate fees
to fully comply with the previously imposed development conditions and Town ordinances.

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Approving the Final Map for Tract No. 10514 (258 Union
Avenue) and Accepting the Dedications
DATE: November 14, 2019
DISCUSSION (continued):
The developer is dedicating property as a public service easement and emergency vehicle
access easement within the proposed private drive between the single-family parcels. The
easement dedications are all shown on the attached map (Attachment 2).
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the Town Council adopt a resolution approving the final map and
accepting the dedications for Tract No. 10514 (258 Union Avenue).
COORDINATION:
This project has been coordinated with the Town Attorney and the Community Development
Department.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact for the Town as the dedication of additional public access easements
involves private property.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
An Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared for the project by the Town’s
Environmental Consultant, EMC Planning Group Inc. (available online at
http://www.losgatosca.gov/258Union). The 20-day public review period began on January 18,
2019 and ended on February 7, 2019. The project will not result in a significant effect on the
environment because mitigation measures have been added for Air Quality, Biological
Resources, Geology and Soils, Hazardous Materials, Noise, and Transportation, mitigating
potential impacts to a less-than-significant level.
