ITEM NO: 5
DATE: February 10, 2022
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution to Set a Date for Consideration of the Reorganization of
an Uninhabited Area Designated as Roseleaf Lane No. 1, Approximately
1.3534 Acres on Property Pre-Zoned R-1:8. APN 523-18-021.
Annexation Application AN21-004. Project Location: 16253 Roseleaf Lane.
Property Owner/Applicant: Jindan Li.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) to set a date for consideration of the reorganization of an
uninhabited area designated as Roseleaf Lane No. 1, approximately 1.3534 acres, located at
16253 Roseleaf Lane (APN 523-18-021).
BACKGROUND:
The Town has an agreement with Santa Clara County that requires annexation of any property
located within the Town's Urban Service Area boundary that is either contiguous to a Town
boundary or within 300 feet of a Town maintained roadway if a use is proposed to intensify.
The subject property is within 300 feet of a Town boundary. Annexation has been requested in
conjunction with a proposal for a modification to the existing single-family residence. The total
annexation area (1.3534 acres) includes 1.1472 acres of County street right-of-way.
Section 56757 of the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000
gives cities in Santa Clara County the authority to annex territory without application to and
hearing by the Santa Clara County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO).
The Town is required to hold a protest proceeding even if the area proposed for annexation is
uninhabited (less than twelve registered voters) and all property owners have consented to the

BACKGROUND (continued):
annexation. This first meeting and resolution sets the date for the consideration of the
annexation and the protest proceeding.
DISCUSSION:
The Town has received a petition requesting annexation to the Town of Los Gatos from Jindan
Li, owner of the property at 16253 Roseleaf Lane. The property is located on the south side of
Roseleaf Lane in an unincorporated County pocket.
The property is in the Town's Urban Service Area, is contiguous to a Town boundary, and is Pre-
zoned R-1:8 (Single-Family Residential, 8,000 square foot minimum lot size). Annexation would
allow Town services to be extended to the property and reduce an existing County pocket.
The Santa Clara County Planning, County Lighting Service Area, and the County Library Service
Area have been notified in writing of the annexation request. This agenda item, if approved,
would set the date for consideration of the annexation application for March 1, 2022.
COORDINATION:
The preparation of this report was coordinated with the Santa Clara County Library District,
Santa Clara County Lighting Service Area, County of Santa Clara Infrastructure Development
Division, LAFCO, County of Santa Clara Assessor, County of Santa Clara Surveyor, and the
County of Santa Clara Planning Division.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Once the annexation is certified by the State Board of Equalization, the Town will receive
approximately 9.3 percent of the property taxes.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
The project is exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines under
Section 15061(b)(3): Review for Exemption, in that it can be seen with certainty that there is no
possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. A
Notice of Exemption will not be filed.
