Item 4 - Exhibit 06 - Draft OrdinanceExcerpts from Los Gatos Town Code
Chapter 29
Sec. 29.10.150. - Number of off-street spaces required.
…..
(f)Properties in parking districts. Required spaces in parking districts shall be as follows:
(1) For any building or open-air use in a public parking district, the number of required off-
street parking spaces is:
a.None, when the gross floor area of the building and open area occupied by a use,
combined, do not exceed the area of the building and open area occupied when the
district is formed; or
b.When the area limitation in subsection (f)(1)a. is exceeded or the use is intensified, the
required number is derived only on the basis of the excess area.
(2) The creation of a parking assessment district relieves those properties located within the
district which were nonconforming as to parking from having to supply on-site parking
spaces in accordance with subsection (b).
(3) The assessment formula was based on a number of factors that included existing floor area,
existing use, in some cases potential floor area and included credits for existing on-site
parking spaces and for participation in past assessment districts.
(4) The Planning Director shall develop a table using the floor area, parking and previous
assessment district information used to calculate the parking assessment and translating
that information into a parking credit based on the parking requirements set forth in
subsection (b).
When an application is filed to intensify the use within an existing building or to expand an
existing building, this information will be used to calculate the amount of on-site parking, if
any, that will be necessary to comply with the parking requirements set forth in subsection
(b).
(5) Any on-site parking spaces that are credited in the parking assessment district calculation
may not be eliminated, unless the use is changed to a residential use that does not require
the existing on-site parking spaces.
