SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Approving the Parcel Map for 105 Newell Avenue and

RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) approving the Parcel Map for 105 Newell Avenue and

BACKGROUND:
On November 7, 2017, the Town Council approved the Planned Development Application PD-
14-002 through Ordinance 2266 (with the second reading on November 21, 2017) to rezone the
property at 105 Newell Avenue, previously occupied by Los Gatos Elks Lodge, from R-1:12 to R-
1:12:PD to allow for the demolition of an existing building, subdivision of one lot into four, and
construction of four single-family residences on the subdivision. As part of the approval,
Council also adopted the Mitigated Negative Declaration (ND-16-002) and the Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program for the project.
DISCUSSION:
On November 6, 2018, the Development Review Committee approved the Subdivision
Application M-18-002 for the 1.38-acre lot at 105 Newell Avenue to be subdivided into four
residential lots per the corresponding tentative map and conditions. Separate Architecture and
Site Applications for each lot of the development (S-18-004, -005, -006, and -007) were
approved with the same motion at the November 6, 2018 meeting.
