BACKGROUND:
The Town Council entered into a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Verizon for the purchase of 15900
Los Gatos Boulevard on March 20, 2007. Since that time, staff has been evaluating the building
and site to determine its suitability for a police services facility. Staff contracted the services of
several consultants to assist with the necessary analysis. The following studies were conducted:
PAGE 3
MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL
SUBJECT: POLICE SERVICES BUILDING - ARCHITECTURAL FEASIBILITY STUDY
June 18, 2007
• Architectural feasibility to determine if the building can accommodate some or all of police
services.
• An environmental site analysis to evaluate the site for hazardous materials.
• A noise study to assess noise impacts to the neighborhood.
• A traffic analysis.
• A telecommunication study to determine what type of communications equipment will be
required at the new building.
• Structural analysis of the building.
• A construction estimate of costs to retrofit the building for police services.
• Environmental analysis pursuant to CEQA.
On June 4, 2007, the Town Council approved a Purchase Agreement with Verizon California,
Inc to purchase the building. The Town has until July 17, 2007 to complete feasibility studies
regarding the purchase. Staff has completed all of its feasibility studies. By undertaking the
actions identified in the Recommendation section of this report, the Town will officially
complete the feasibility period allowed under the Purchase Agreement and proceed to purchase
the site.
This report will summarize the results of the feasibility studies and will provide details on
funding sources for the project. Background information regarding the Police Department's
need for additional space is provided in the Planning Commission staff report for this item
(Attachment 4) and the staff report for the Civic Center Master Plan that is also on tonight's
Council agenda.
DISCUSSION:
Building Feasibility
The existing building is approximately 9,200 square feet on a 1.09 acre, L-shaped site. The
project site is zoned Restricted Commercial Highway (CH). Community Services, such as the
police services building, is permitted in the CH zone with approval of a conditional use permit
(CUP).
Although the building is one story, it was constructed to accommodate additional stories. The
construction of the building meets State's essential services standards for public buildings in
order to withstand a substantial earthquake. The Town retained Hohbach-Lewin, Inc. (HL), a
structural engineering consultant, to evaluate the structural condition of the building. The HL
report concludes that the existing structure would be appropriate for its proposed use as a police
services building. The rear wing of the building requires minor seismic retrofit work to comply
with essential services standards. The required work is estimated to cost approximately
$150,000.
Staff has been working with the architectural firm of Ross Drulis Cusenbery (RDC) of Sonoma,
California to conduct the study to determine if the building is suitable for use by the police and
PAGE 4

SUBJECT: POLICE SERVICES BUILDING - ARCHITECTURAL FEASIBILITY STUDY
June 18, 2007
develop conceptual floor plans. The firm has extensive experience in the design of public safety
facilities for the State of California and cities and counties throughout the state.
The first task to detennine the suitability of the building was to establish how much parking
could be provided on the site. To accommodate the entire department, based on current studies,
73 parking spaces would need to be provided. The consultants prepared a site plan that
accommodates 46 secured parking spaces for police and staff parking, four spaces for
motorcycles and parking control vehicles along with seven public parking spaces. The analysis
concluded that the site cannot accommodate the entire police department without constructing a
second story to the existing building and constructing a parking garage. The cost of constricting
the garage is prohibitive and eliminates the financial advantage of purchasing this site, which is
based on being able to occupy the site with minimal modifications to the existing building and
site. The amount of money necessary to add a second story and parking garage would be more
efficiently used to expand the police facilities at Town Hall.
Based on the amount of parking that can be provided and size of the building, LGMSPD
contemplates locating patrol operations and evidence storage at the site. Other personnel that
would be located at the site include the Operations Captain, a traffic and administrative sergeant,
and an evidence technician. It is anticipated that there will limited public contact at this site.
The primary access to the site will be via Los Gatos Boulevard. However, a driveway will be
maintained on Camellia Terrace. The Chief of Police has stated this driveway will be used only
for emergencies and other limited situations.
Police administration, detectives, records and dispatch would remain at Town Hall,; which will
continue to the primary point of contact for the public. The personnel located in a building on
Villa Avenue will be moved to Town Hall. The police will continue to use all of their existing
space at Town Hall for the remaining personnel. Portions of the existing facility will need to be
retrofitted to accommodate personnel remaining at Town Hall. This is not discussed in this
report. Remodel options will be brought to the Council at a later date along with a projected
budget.
The Chief of Police will continue to the review which combination of staff would be most
appropriate at the site, such as moving detectives to the new building. An increase in staff,
particularly during the A.M. or P.M. peals hours could necessitate revisions to the environmental
analysis, which would be done during the CUP process.
RDC has prepared two conceptual floor plans for consideration (Option A and B). Option A
includes remodeling the interior of the existing building to accommodate police operations,
which will include a briefing room, lobby, offices, lockers, evidence storage, fitness room, and
temporary holding cells. Two building additions are proposed on the southeast side of the
building to provide a 1,632 square-foot addition for a vehicle sally port and entry corridor with
storage rooms. The existing building with the additions would total 10,795 square feet.
PAGE 5
MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL
SUBJECT: POLICE SERVICES BUILDING - ARCHITECTURAL FEASIBILITY STUDY
June 18, 2007
Option B, includes the additions discussed above along with a 1,047 square feet square-foot
addition along the northern side of the building for a combination briefing room/training
room/Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The size of this multipurpose room makes it
suitable not only for daily briefings, but also for classes and other training opportunities for
officers that are not currently available. This would be its primary function. However, the size of
the room, allows it, when necessary, to be used as an EOC. The existing building with building
additions would result in a total building area of 11,907 square feet.
The EOC is currently located at the Neighborhood Center, which is not built to essential services
standards. The addition of the combined briefing room/training room/EOC adds approximately
$450,000 to the cost of the project. However, the Neighborhood Center cannot be retrofitted to
meet essential services standards, and is vulnerable in the event of a natural disaster. Option A
includes a briefing room; however, the size of the combined briefing room/training room/EOC in
Option B, allows the police to conduct training that would not otherwise be possible. Staff
recommends Option B.
Cost Analysis
Staff has prepared a preliminary analysis of the cost to purchase and construct a police services
building at the site along with the ongoing operation and maintenance costs. The cost
breakdown is as follows:
Purchase
$3,200,000
Construction
$3,498,392
Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment
$482,513
Contingency
$504,563
Total Project Budget
$7,685,468
Annual Operation and
Maintenance Costs
$200,265
For comparison purposes, staff prepared an estimate of the cost to expand the Civic Center to
provide the police with 18,500 square feet facility to meet their space needs as identified in the
Civic Center Master Plan. That cost to build a police building as the Civic Center is
approximately is $16,594,000 in today's dollars.
The construction estimate is based on current costs. Due to inflation, costs are estimated to
increase by approximately four to eight percent a year. Staff has developed two time lines for
development of the site, which includes processing the necessary Conditional Use Permit (CUP)
and Architecture and Site applications, selecting the architect and contractor, preparing the
construction drawings, obtaining building permits and completing the actual construction.
Using a standard process for hiring an architect, preparing construction drawings, and bidding
the project, the process would take approximately two years to occupy the building. The process
can be reduced to approximately 16 months by expediting the process for hiring the architect and
PAGE 6
MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL

June 18, 2007
contractor and by simultaneously preparing the construction documents while the CUP is being
processed.
The constriction costs include minimal modifications to the building, such as exterior painting,
landscaping and removal of the grates on the windows. If the Council would like additional
improvements to the exterior building, staff should be directed to study alternatives during the
Architecture and Site process. Additional funds would need to be allocated to fund the
improvements. A letter from a neighbor is included as Attachment 9. The neighbor supports the
project and requests that the Town undertake substantial improvements to the building's exterior.
Community Meetings
Two community meetings have been held to discuss the potential police services facility. The
meetings were held on April 18, 2007 and May 16, 2007. There were approximately 20 people
at the first meeting and 12 people at the second meeting. Most of the questions regarding the
potential facility were related to traffic, noise and the intended use of the building.
Questions raised at the meetings were primarily related to use of the Camellia Terrace driveway
and the use of sirens in the neighborhood. The Police Chief stated that officers would be
directed to use Los Gatos Boulevard to enter and leave the site, except for emergencies, when
they may have to use Camellia Terrace. He also described the measures used to mitigate noise
impacts to the surrounding neighborhood at Town Hall and reiterated his intent to use these
procedures at the proposed location.
Environmental Analysis
Purchase of the site is considered a project according to the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA). As required by CEQA, an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration have
been prepared. The environmental review was completed by the Town's consultant, Geier &
Geier Consulting. Potentially significant impacts will be mitigated by the recommended
mitigation measures.
Specific studies were conducted for traffic, noise and tree removal.. The traffic study concluded
that the traffic generated by the police services building would be similar to an office building
and less than a retail use, which are permitted uses at this location. The project's impact on the
two adjacent signalized Los Gatos Boulevard intersections at Blossom Hill Road and Chirco
Drive were analyzed. Project-related traffic increases would add the equivalent of approximately
0.1 second of average delay at both intersections on weekdays and less than 0.1 percent of
current traffic levels on weekends. This is considered less than significant impact.
The traffic study does recommend that at least one on-street parking space be removed on the
south side of the driveways on Los Gatos Boulevard and Camellia Terrace to increase sight
distance for vehicles entering and exiting the site. It is also recommended that a "KEEP
CLEAR" legend and stop line be installed on Los Gatos Boulevard and Camellia Terrace at the
PAGE 7

SUBJECT: POLICE SERVICES BUILDING - ARCHITECTURAL FEASIBILITY STUDY
June 18, 2007
project driveway locations to help prevent vehicles from blocking emergency vehicles leaving
the site. Additionally, the median on Los Gatos Boulevard will be modified to allow left turns
out of the site.
The noise study determined that noise levels associated with most police activities would not
exceed ordinance limits except for noise from vehicles in the public parking area (along the
northern property line) at night (10 p.m. to 6 a.m.) or barking from police dogs at night. To
mitigate these impacts, public parking along the northern property either needs to be restricted
between 10 p.m. to 6 p.m., moved, or an 11-foot tall sound wall constructed. Staff will
investigate limiting parking in this area or relocating the public parking prior to proceeding with
the CUP. Noise from other police activities will be addressed through normal operational
measures such as loading and unloading potentially unruly detainees within the proposed sally
port, limiting the use of sirens near residences, unless absolutely necessary for public safety, and
loading and unloading the canine unit dogs at the staff entry area adjacent to the proposed sally
port.
Planning Commission
State law requires that the Planning Commission make a recommendation to Town Council on
the consistency of the proposed purchase with the Town's General Plan. The Commission
considered the purchase, and the associated Mitigated Negative Declaration, at the meeting of
May 23, 2007. The Commission voted 7-0 to determine that the purchase is consistent with the
General Plan and to recommend approval of the Mitigated Negative Declaration. The transcript
of the Commission meeting is included as Attachment 5.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The project is recommended to be appropriated at $7,685,468 encompassing estimated costs for
site acquisition, design and construction, furniture, fixtures and equipment, contingency and
minor fagade improvements. The project is recommended to be funded by the following
transfers of funding sources to the Town's Capital Project Fund:

The recommended funding sources as presented above were made with the following
considerations:
• Sewer Asset Proceeds ($2.4 M) were available upon the sale in December 2005 of the
Town's sewer asset infrastructure to the West Valley Sanitation District and had not been
designated for any other purpose.
• FY 2006/07 General Fund Year End Savings ($1.0M)-This recommended transfer of year
end budget savings is reasonably expected by Finance staff to be available upon the close of
books June 30, 2007.
• Equipment Replacement Reserve ($396K). Staff has identified this amount as set aside for
the future replacement of a sewer maintenance truck. Upon the sale of the sewer assets and
transfer of the sewer maintenance responsibilities, the need to use these funds for a fat-Lire
sewer truck has been eliminated.
• Internal Service Fund Loans ($1.1M). Staff has identified available cash balances in a
number of the Town's Internal Service fiends that can serve as funding sources for a
temporary loan to the Town's capital project fund. The Internal Service funds will be repaid
back from future budget savings over a multi-year time span as budget savings penuit.
PAGE 9

RDA funding ($2.7M). A service review study was recently performed by the Town's Police
Department. The study supports an approximate 35.4% allocation of the Police Services
building cost to the Town's RDA project area. The study examined the patrol function's
"calls for service" log. Approximately 35.4% of the calls were made from locations within
the RDA downtown project area. The $2,720,000 RDA allocation will be facilitated by the
use of a Town loan or "advance" to the RDA. These funds will then be transferred by the
RDA to the Town's capital project fiind for the project. Repayment to the Town by the RDA
will be made from future tax increment revenues as permitted under the Town's Indebtedness
Agreement with the RDA. The use of RDA Town loan fiinds will have an impact on the
amount of potential RD bonding size in FY 2010/11. However, the conservative tax
increment growth rate (4%) used in the projections estimating the potential of $13 to $15
million in future bonding capacity means that if the RDA exceeds the 4% growth estimates,
there is potential for a significant amount of the $2.7 million loss in future bonding capacity
to be recovered through future tax increment growth.
The intended use of approximately five million dollars in Town designated reserves and Internal
Service Funds used for temporary loans to the Town to fund the project is expected to impact the
Treasurer's invested cash balances accordingly. Assuming a five million dollar reduction over
time in invested balances, the Town's operating budget will be impacted by an estimated
$250,000 annually using today's prevailing interest rates. This anticipated loss was factored into
the FY 2007/08 operating budget estimates and also incorporated into the spring 2007 update of
the Town's Five Year Financial plan.
NEXT STEPS
Should the Council proceed with the purchase of the property, the next steps include obtaining
the CUP to occupy the site, the Architecture and Site (A&S) approval for the additions to the
building, hiring an architect to prepare construction drawings and hiring a general contractor.
Staff also recommends hiring a project manager to assist staff with overseeing the project.
Typically, the CUP and A&S applications would be approved by the Planning Commission.
Since this is a Town application, the Council may wish to approve these applications, since the
Council will ultimately approve the construction project. If so, staff recormmends that Council
include that direction as part of the actions approving the purchase of the site.
CONCLUSION:
Purchasing the site at 15900 Los Gatos Boulevard is a cost effective solution to provide
necessary space for the Police Department that can be implemented in a reasonably short
timeframe. The site can accommodate the patrol and evidence functions of the Department. The
environmental review prepared for the project indicates that, with implementation of the
recommended mitigation measures, there will be no impact to the surrounding neighborhood.
Should the Council grant approval of the purchase, staff will move forward to retain the

necessary consultants to proceed with improvements to the site to accommodate the Police
Department.

Subject: Purchase of 15900 Los Gatos Boulevard
Date: May 17, 2007
Introduction:
On February 14, 2007, the Town Council authorized the submittal of an offer to purchase the
office building at 15900 Los Gatos Boulevard owned by Verizon. On March 14, 2007, Verizon
and the Town entered into a Letter of Intent (LOI) regarding the property. The Town is
considering the purchase of the site for use as a police services building.
Verizon obtained approvals from the Planning Commission on December 13, 2006 to demolish a
portion of the existing building to create two separate buildings and to subdivide the property
into two parcels. Verizon is selling a 1.09 acre parcel that will contain a 9,200 square foot office
building after demolition. Verizon is currently preparing the site and building for sale and is in
the process of recording the parcel map to implement the subdivision of the site.
The Planning Commission's role in the proposed land purchase is to make a recommendation to
Town Council on the consistency of the proposed purchase with the Town's General Plan and the
adequacy of the associated Mitigated Negative Declaration. The Commission's role in the
purchase of public land is defined in the State Government Code. This memorandum will
highlight the key aspects of the proposed transaction and discuss applicable General Plan
policies.
BackLyround
The Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Department (LGMSPD) is currently housed in about 5,275
sq. ft. of space at Town Hall, which was built in 1964 when the Town had a population of 9,000.
Based on the current population in the Town of approximately 30,000 and the range of services
provided by the police department, the Civic Center Master Plan indicates that police operations
require about 18,500 sq. ft. In addition to the lack of adequate space, suspect holding facilities
are not in compliance with State Department of Corrections or Fire Code standards, and there is
no secure space to store ammunition or evidence.
Staff has been conducting a due diligence investigation to determine whether to proceed with the
purchase. Staff has retained several consultants to assist with the necessary analysis. The
following are the studies that have been or are being conducted:

Environmental analysis pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
General Plan and ZoninI4 Desi~rnafion:
The site has a General Plan designation of Mixed Use Commercial and a zoning designation of
CH (Restricted Highway Commercial). No changes are proposed to these designations.
Community Services, such as the police services building, is permitted in the CH zone with
approval of a conditional use permit (CUP). Consideration of the CUP is not part of dzis
proposal, but would occur should the Town purchase the property.
Proposed Use of the Site:
LGMSPD contemplates locating patrol officers and evidence storage at the site. Police
administration, records and dispatch would remain at Town Hall as the site is not large enough to
accommodate the entire police function.
Monday through Thursday, patrol officers work in three shifts consisting of five to seven
officers. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, there are two shifts with six officers. The patrol
officers are in the community during most of their shift and are usually at the building only at the
beginning and end of their shifts. Other personnel that would be located at the site include the
Operations Captain, a patrol and administrative sergeant, and an evidence technician.
The site plan includes parking for 46 secured parking spaces (not including eight spaces for
motorcycles and parking control vehicles) and seven public parking spaces.. The proposed 46
parking spaces would be used for police vehicles and the officers' personal vehicles.
The primary access to the site will be via Los Gatos Boulevard. However, a driveway will be
maintained on Camellia Terrace. The Chief of Police has stated this driveway will be used only
for emergencies.

General Plan Consistency:
Although the site is located on a major conu-nercial thoroughfare, the rear of the site abuts a
residential neighborhood. The General Plan includes policies for protecting residential
neighborhoods from non-residential uses. The building and parking lot has been designed to
minimize impacts to the neighborhood. The General Plan also has policies to red-Lice the
potential for injuries, damage to property, economic displacement, and loss of life from crime.
The new facility would also provide code compliant holding cells and space for the department
to provide proper service to the conunlmity.

Environmental Analvsis
Purchase of the site is considered a project according to the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA). As required by CEQA, an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration have
been prepared. The environmental review was completed by the Town's consultant, Geier &
Geier Consulting. Potentially significant impacts will be mitigated by the recomnnended
mitigation measures. Below is a sunnmaiy of potential impacts:
Traffic
A traffic analysis was prepared to estimate the project's trip generation on weekdays and
weekends and compared them to trip generation levels that could be expected from either a
general office building or retail shopping center. When compared to an office building, the
project would generate 23 more daily trips with 2 more trips during the AM peak period and 7
more trips during the PM peak period. When compared to a shopping center, the project would
generate 253 less daily trips with 6 more trips during the AM peak period and 12 fewer trips
during the PM peak period. On weekends, when compared to an office building, the project
would generate 51 more daily trips with 6 more trips during the Saturday peak period. When
compared to a shopping center, the project would generate 360 less daily trips with 34 fewer
trips during the Saturday peak period.
The project's impact on the two adjacent signalized Los Gatos Boulevard intersections at
Blossom Hill Road and Chrico Drive were analyzed. Project-related traffic increases would add
the equivalent of approximately 0.1 second of average delay at both intersections on weekdays.
Therefore, the project would have a less-than-significant impact on surrounding roadway traffic
conditions. On weekends, project-related traffic increases on Los Gatos Boulevard would be the
Meniorandunl to Planning Conunission=May 23, 2007
15900 Los Gatos Boulevard
Page - 5 -
equivalent of less than 0.1 percent of current traffic levels on this road, which is considered less
than significant
The driveway on Los Gatos Boulevard would serve as the primary access for the site, and would
be used by personal vehicles of police department staff, patrol vehicles, public citizen vehicles,
and others accessing the site. The site also proposes to install a secure gate on the Camellia
Terrace driveway and it is the intention of the Police Department to primarily use the Los Gatos
Boulevard driveway; the Camellia Terrace driveway access would only be utilized for
emergency or special circumstances. In general, no pedestrian or bicycle access issues were
identified with the site or its frontage with Los Gatos Boulevard and Camellia Terrace.
The access driveway on.Los-Gatos Boulevard currently operates as a right-turn entry and right-
turn exit only because there is a landscaped concrete median that prohibits left-tuirning vehicles
from.entering or leaving the Los Gatos Boulevard driveway. The Police Department is
considering the possibility of creating an opening in the existing median opposite the project
driveway and signing this opening to allow use by emergency vehicles only. This may
necessitate modifying the northbound left-tum bay at the Frank Avenue/Los Gatos Boulevard
intersection to accommodate this median cut. The need for a dedicated entry and exit to the
proposed police services facility and potential design alternatives will be considered during the
Conditional Use Permit review process.
Since police vehicles would be entering and leaving site driveways to respond to emergency
calls, adequate sight distance and driveway access should.be maintained to minimize ensure
timely response of police officers. The following measures will be implemented to maintain
access and minimize safety hazards:
MITIGATION: At least one on-street parking space will be removed on the south side of each
driveway to increase sight distance for vehicles entering and exiting the access locations on Los
Gatos Boulevard and Camellia. Terrace. A parking space of at least 25 feet will be removed
immediately adjacent to the intersection and the curb painted red to prohibit parking.
MITIGATION: A "KEEP CLEAR" legend and stop line will be installed on Los Gatos
Boulevard and Camellia Terrace at the project driveway locations to help prevent vehicles from
blocking the intersection during peak traffic periods or other congested conditions.
MITIGATION MONITORING: The Building Division of the Community Development and
Engineering Division of the Parks and Public Works Departments will be responsible for
ensuring the above recommendations are incorporated into the Conditional Use Permit and
properly implemented during construction.

(including one handicap accessible space), eight parking spaces are proposed for utility vehicles
and motorcycle parking, and seven public parking spaces (including one handicap accessible
parking space). An evaluation of the changing parking demand throughout the day shows a peals
parking demand for 30 vehicles and the available parking spaces in the secured parking area
would be sufficient to meet the needs of the police department.
Noise
A detailed noise study was prepared by Edward L. Pack Associates, Inc. (EPA). The EPA study
estimated potential noise increases associated with proposed police operations based on
measurements taken at the existing police station. When the Los Gatos Noise Ordinance noise
limits are applied to the project site, the noise limits range between 54 and 70 dBA depending on
the time of day and day of the week. The noise impact threshold applied in this analysis is the
most restrictive, nighttime limit of 54 dBA because the proposed police operations facility would
operate 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Noise levels associated with most police
activities would not exceed ordinance limits except when car doors close in the public parking
area (not the secured parking area) or police dogs bark at night (10 p.m. to 6 a.m.). The Town
will implement the following measures to achieve compliance with 54-dBA nighttime limit of
the Los Gatos Noise Ordinance and reduce the project's noise impacts to a less-than-significant
level:
MITIGATION: The canine unit dogs will be loaded and unloaded at the staff entry area adjacent
to the proposed sally port. Office shall attempt to keep the dogs from barking while on the
site.
MITIGATION: Any potentially unruly detainees will be loaded and unloaded within the
proposed sally port.
MITIGATION: Limit the use of sirens near residences, particularly at night, unless absolutely
necessary for public safety.
MITIGATION: One of the following two alternatives will be implemented to reduce noise levels
along the northern project boundary:
a. An 11-foot high acoustically-effective barrier will be constructed along the northern
property boundary (contiguous to Oleander Avenue residences). To control flanking
noise, this barrier will be continued along the easterly boundary for a distance of 15 feet
and at a height of 8 feet. The barrier height is in reference to the nearest parking space
ground elevation. Barrier location and height is shown on Figure I of Attachment 2.
b. Parking will not be allowed within 50 feet of the northern property boundary between 10
p.m. and 6 a.m.
Memorandum to Planning Conirnission May 23, 2007
15900 Los Gatos Boulevard
Page-7-
MITIGATION: Both of the following measures will be implemented to reduce noise levels along
the eastern property boundary, adj acent to Camellia Terrace:
a. A solid gate will be constructed across the driveway on Camellia Terrace. The gate may
be a motor-driven rolling type, constricted of wood to match the associated fencing.
b. The Camellia Terrace driveway will be used for emergency (answering calls) only.
MITIGATION MONITORING: The Planning Division of the Community Development
Department will be responsible for ensuring the above restrictions on activities and
acoustical barriers are incorporated into the Conditional Use Permit.
The Los Gatos Noise Element also specifies a noise limit of 55 dBA DNL for residential uses,
which is the cumulative noise exposure occurring over a 24-hour day. When the above project-
related individual noise events are accounted for over a 24-hour period (based on the proposed
personnel levels, shift changes, etc. and adding a 10-dB penalty for nighttime activities), the
proposed police services facility is estimated to generate noise levels of approximately 44 dBA
DNL at the northern property boundary and 49 dBA DNL at the eastern property boundwy.
Since both estimated noise levels would be substantially less than existing noise levels in both
areas, project-related noise would not add to the existing noise environment. Project-related
noise levels also would be within the 55-dBA DNL noise limit specified in the Los Gatos Noise
Element.
Trees
The Town's consulting arborist, Arbor Resources (AR), completed an arboricultural survey for
the proposed project. The survey identified a total of 44 trees of eight various species that could
be affected by.the proposed project. Of these 44 trees, eight are within the public right-of-way
and two are sufficiently close on properties adjoining the site as to be vulnerable to potential
damage during development. The 44 trees listed in the inventory include 43 Protected Trees
(trees with a trunk diameter of four inches or greater); Tree #32 is comprised of 13 small privets
situated along the neighboring southern building and is in a_row of other smaller privets that
constitute non-Ordinance sized trees.
Of the 44 trees on the site, the proposed parking lot configuration would subj ect the following
ten trees to removal: #21- 28, 30 and 31. Except for #30, all are Raywood ash that have either
died or can be expected to die in the near fat-Lire. Tree #30 is a camphor tree that contains
significant branch dieback throughout its canopy. Based on this information, the report
concludes that the loss of these ten trees would be insignificant and the proj ect would comply
with the Town's Ordinance.
The proposed building design would require the removal of Tree #1 adjacent to the southeastern
edge of the building. This is a 10.5-inch diameter southern magnolia that appears in overall good

condition. However, recent damage to the bark has occurred during demolition work and,
consequently, the report advises against the relocation of this tree. Rather, replacement trees
should be planted to mitigate its loss. Replacement trees to mitigate the loss of trees removed,
shall, pursuant to Section 29.10.0985 of the Town Code, be determined by the Parlcs and Public
Works Department.
Trees #17 and 29 would sustain root damage with implementation of the driveway and parking
lot reconfiguration. Provided the work is performed according to recommendations in the report,
the potential impacts would be, reduced to less than significant. The Town will implement the
following measures to reduce impacts on trees to be retained and adequately replace trees to be
removed:
MITIGATION: All of the 26 recommendations made by Arbor Resources (May 4, 2007) will be
implemented to eliminate or minimize the construction-related impacts on the trees to be
retained. These include nine recommendations under the Design Guidelines section
addressing tree location snapping, protective fencing, building setback, trenching, drainage
facilities, and irrigation plans. The report also provides 17 recommendations for Protection
Measures before and during construction, encompassing fencing, removal of hardscape,
demolition, work within tree canopies, etc. The report's recommendations are included as
Attachment 1 of the Initial Study.
MITIGATION MONITORING: The Planning Division of the Community Development
Department will be responsible for ensuring that all recommended Design Guidelines are
reflected in final project plans. The Parks Division of the Parks and Public Works
Department will be responsible for ensuring that all recommended Protection Measures are
properly implemented during construction.
Community MeetinVs
Two community meetings have been held to discuss the potential police services facility.
Noticing exceeded the 500 foot requirement included in the Verizon subdivision conditions of
approval. All residents and property owners from Camallia Terrace to Cherry Blossom Lane,
between Blossom Hill Road and Los Gatos Almaden Road were noticed, as were all residents
and property owners within 500 feet of the site on Los Gatos Boulevard and across the street
from the site.
The first meeting was held on April 18, 2007, and was attended by approximately 20 people.
Police Department personnel described the intended use of the building and answered questions.
Staff also explained the technical studies for toxics, traffic and noise that were being conducted.
Most of the questions regarding the potential facility were related to traffic, noise and the
intended use of the building. A summary of the questions are attached.
The second community meeting was held on May 16, 2007, and was attended by approximately
Memorandum to Planning Commission-May 23, 2007

12 people. The Police Chief provided an overview of the proposed floor and site plan and stated
that officers would be directed to use Los Gatos Boulevard to enter and leave the site, except for
emergencies, when they may have to use Camellia Terrace. He also described the pleasures used
to mitigate noise impacts to the surrounding neighborhood at Town Hall and reiterated his intent
to use these procedures at the proposed location. Questions raised at the meeting were primarily
related to use of the Camellia Terrace driveway and the use of sirens in the neighborhood.
Conclusion and Recommendation:
As required in the Government Code, the Commission should review the proposed land purchase
and forward a recommendation to Town Council on its consistency with the General Plan and the
associated mitigated negative declaration. Staff has identified the major General Plan sections
and policies that apply to the purchase. No change in land use or General Plan designation
would result from the purchase of the parcel. Staff recommends that the Commission determine
that the purchase is consistent with the General Plan and forward that determination to Town
Cotulcil for consideration.
Chief of Police Scott Seaman and Captain Alana Forest will be present at the Commission
meeting to provide information and answer questions.

TOWN OF LOS GATOS
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REVIEW
MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
Lead Agency: Town of Los Gatos
Community Development Department
110 East Main Street
Los Gatos, CA 95031
Project Title and
Location: Los Gatos - Monte Sereno Police Services Facility
15900 Los Gatos Boulevard
Project Description: The Town of Los Gatos proposes to acquire a 1.09-acre parcel (47,613 square feet),
located at 15900 Los Gatos Boulevard. The parcel extends between Los Gatos Boulevard and Camellia
Terrace, and is located approximately 600 feet north of Blossom Hill Road. The project parcel is
developed with an existing 9,238-square-foot, single-story building, paved parking areas east and north of
this building, and landscaping along the project boundaries.
The interior of the existing building would be remodeled to accommodate police operations, which will
include community meeting room, lobby,. offices, lockers, evidence storage, fitness room, and holding
cells. There are proposed to be two building additions on the southeast side of the building to provide a
vehicle sally port and corridor with various equipment rooms (1,557 square feet). The existing building
with building additions would result in a total building area of 10,795 square feet.
In addition to interior remodeling, the project would also include: (1) expansion of the existing parking lot
by addition of a new parking lot in the area immediately east and northeast of the existing building; (2)
reconfiguration of the existing parking lot; (3) addition of an emergency generator in the parking lot
located east of the building; and (4) addition of air conditioning equipment on the roof and in the
basement. The parking lot located east of the existing building would be a secure parking lot (gated) with
46 spaces (46 secure parking spaces for cars and 8 motorcycle spaces). A public parking lot with 7 spaces
would be located north of the building.
Police operations at the project site would occur seven days, 24 hours per day. On weekdays, there would
be three work shifts (6 a.m. to 4 p.m.; 3 p.m. to 1 a.m.; and 9 p.m. to 7 a.m.) with five to seven patrol
officers per shift. On weekdays, there would be four additional personnel at this building between 7 a.m.
and 5 p.m. and a community service officer between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. On weekends, there would be two
work shifts (7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.) with six officers per shift. The overlap in personnel
during shift changes would result in a peak parking demand of 30 parking spaces.(13 officer, 14 patrol,
and 3 captain/evidence personnel).
The project site currently has one driveway on Los Gatos Boulevard and one driveway on Camellia
Terrace. There are two additional driveways on Camellia Terrace associated with the contiguous Verizon
parcel, and an existing access drive extends along the north side of the Verizon building, connecting this
driveway on Camellia Terrace with the project's driveway on Los Gatos Boulevard. The project would
maintain both existing driveways at their current locations, but the Los Gatos driveway would be widened
from approximately 15 feet to 22 feet.
MAY, 2007 1
ATTACHMENT 7
MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION - LOS GATOS-MONTE SERENO POLICE SERVICES FACILITY
Determination: Although the proposed project could. have a significant effect on the environment, there
will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures listed below have been added
to the project, mitigating potential impacts to a less-than-significant level. An Environmental Impact
Report will not be required.
Statement of Reasons to Support Finding:
1. Aesthetics: The existing building on the project parcel is a single-story building. With the proposed
project, the exterior of the west side of this building would remain generally unchanged except for
possible architectural enhancements and addition of two small air conditioning units on the roof (with
visual screening provided as necessary). Landscaping would also remain generally unchanged except for
removal of some landscaping south of the existing driveway to accommodate proposed widening of this
driveway from approximately 15 feet to 22 feet. Such exterior building modifications would not
significantly alter views of the building from Los Gatos Boulevard. The proposed parking lot northeast of
the building would be visible from Los Gatos Boulevard, but these views would be obscured by
landscaping that is proposed in the area north of the building and west of the parking lot. Proposed
building additions and parking lot changes on the east side of the building would not be visible from Los
Gatos Boulevard.
The east side of the building and parking lot are currently visible from Camellia Terrace. While the
proposed building additions, emergency generator, and parking lot reconfiguration could be visible from
this street, views of these facilities would be obscured or screened by fencing and proposed landscaping
along the eastern project boundary.
The project site is located within the plan area for the Los Gatos Boulevard Plan. The Plan provides
direction and guidelines for overall development and improvements along Los Gatos Boulevard. In
addition to the Plan, the Town has adopted the Los Gatos Boulevard Design Standards, which include
specific recommendations for the architectural treatment, organization, and mix of buildings and open
space in the Los Gatos Boulevard Plan area. The Los Gatos Boulevard Plan Design Standards emphasize
the following:
■ Location of parking in the rear and location of buildings adjacent to the street (so that buildings, not
parking lots, are seen along Los Gatos Boulevard).
■ Staggering of buildings along the Los Gatos Boulevard frontage to avoid a tunnel effect.
■ Articulation of facades to minimize building mass.
■ Framing rather than blocking scenic views.
■ Designing a development to fit a site's natural conditions.
■ Provision of landscape elements in parking areas.
■ Location of loading and service areas away from the street.
■ Provision of defined pedestrian paths through large parking areas and pedestrian entries from the
front as well as the rear sides which face the parking lot.
The proposed project would generally conform to the Los Gatos Boulevard Design Standards. Most of the
parking lot is located behind the existing building so views from Los Gatos Boulevard are primarily of the
building and proposed landscaping would obscure views of the portion of the parking lot located north of
the building. Architectural enhancements that may be provided on the building could help articulate the
west facade of this building. Except for two small building additions on the east side of the building, no
major changes to the exterior of the building would occur; therefore, no change in distant or views from
surrounding areas would be expected. Loading and service areas associated with the proposed use would
occur on the east side of the building, away from Los Gatos Boulevard. Walkways would be added on the
MAY, 2007 2
MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION - LOS GATOS-MONTE SERENO POLICE SERVICES FACILITY
north side of the building, providing pedestrian access to the building's public entrance from the sidewalk
on Los Gatos Boulevard and the public parking lot located along the northern project boundary.
The proposed building could add nighttime lighting on the project site and in the parking lot. While
lighting changes are not specified in the proposed building concept, specific lighting design would be
evaluated as part of the Conditional Use Permit review process. To reduce the potential for disturbance
due to nighttime lighting, the project will need to satisfy Town Code Section 29.10.09035, which
prohibits the production of direct or reflected glare (such as that produced by floodlight onto any area
outside the project boundary).
Agric1:1t3ure Resources: The 1.09-acre site is not in agricultural use and has no agricultural potential
due to its small size, location, and currently developed condition. Therefore, the project would not
adversely affect any existing agricultural resources or operations. Since the properties surrounding the
project site are developed with commercial and residential uses, the proposed project would not adversely
affect other agricultural properties or result in the conversion of farmland to non-agricultural use.
3. Air Quality: Since the project would relocate existing police operations from one location in Los
Gatos to another location in the same community, there would be no net new air emissions contributions
to the air basin associated with project-related traffic. Therefore, the project would be consistent with the
Bay Area Air Quality Management District's (BAAQMD) most recently adopted regional air quality
plan, the Bay Area 2005 Ozone Strategy (BAOS).
The San Francisco Bay Area Air Basin is classified by the BAAQMD as non-attainment for ozone and
inhalable particulates (PM,o). Although the proposed building would result in a net traffic increase of 2
trips during the AM peak period and 7 trips during the PM peak period at the project site, these trips are
already generated by existing police operations at Town Hall. Therefore, the proposed relocation of police
services would. not generate new air emissions and would not contribute to regional non-attainment of
criteria pollutants.
Adjacent residential uses are considered to be sensitive receptors. Proposed grading activities would
generate short-term emissions of criteria pollutants, including suspended and inhalable particulate matter
and equipment exhaust emissions. The project parcel is 1.09 acre, but project construction would result in
surface disturbance of less than one acre. The BAAQMD does not require quantification of construction
emissions, but considers any project's construction-related impacts to be. less than significant if required
dust-control. measures are implemented. The Town's standard dust control conditions require
implementation of the BAAQMD's standard dust control measures (required on sites of three acres or
less), which would mitigate the project's construction-related air quality impacts to a less-than-significant
level.
4. Biological Resources: The project site consists of an existing building, parking lot, access driveway,
and landscaped area along Los Gatos Boulevard from previous commercial use of the property.
Vegetation on the site consists of landscape trees, shrubs, and groundcover along the western perimeter of
the property, and in landscape islands throughout the parking lot in the southeastern part of the site. Trees
(primarily American sweetgum) along the southern boundary of the site serve as a screening element for
the adjacent commercial properties. The six street trees planted along Los Gatos Boulevard as well as
those in the parking lot landscape islands are Raywood ash trees. The habitat value of site vegetation is
limited to urban-adapted species.
Policy O.P.3.3 of the Open Space Element of the Los Gatos General Plan emphasizes preservation of
public and private landscaping along Town streets. The Los Gatos Tree Protection Ordinance states that
the preferred tree replacement is two or more trees of a species and size designated by the Director of the
MAY, 2007 3
MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION - LOS GATOS-MONTE SERENO POLICE SERVICES FACILITY
Parks and Public Works Department. Tree replacement requirements are based on canopy size, which is
defined in Table 3-1. of the Ordinance, Tree Canopy - Replacement Standard. Tree canopy replacement
requirements range from two to six 24-inch box size trees or two 36-inch and/or 48-inch box size trees,
depending on the canopy size of the tree to be removed.
The Town's consulting arborist, Arbor Resources (AR), completed an arboricultural survey for the
proposed project in May 2007 and this study is available for review at the. Los Gatos Community
Development Department. The AR survey identified a total of 44 trees of eight various species that could
be affected by the proposed project. Of these 44 trees, eight are within the public right-of-way and two are
sufficiently close on properties adjoining the site as to be vulnerable to potential damage during
development [Section 29.10.0995(B) of the Town's Municipal Code]. The 44 trees listed in the inventory
include 43 Protected Trees (trees with a trunk diameter of four inches or greater); Tree #32 is comprised
of 13 small privets situated along -the neighboring southern building and is in a row of other smaller
privets that constitute non-Ordinance sized trees.
Of the 44 trees on the site, the proposed parking lot configuration would subject the following ten trees to
removal: #21- 28, 30 and 31. Except for #30, all are Raywood ash that have either died or can be expected
to die in the near future. Tree #30 is a camphor tree that contains significant branch dieback throughout its
canopy. Based on this information, AR concludes that the loss of these ten trees would be insignificant
and the project would comply with the Town's Ordinance.
The proposed building design would require the removal of Tree #1. This is a 10.5-inch diameter
southern magnolia that appears in overall good condition. However, recent damage to the bark has
occurred during demolition work and, consequently, AR advises against the relocation of this tree. Rather,
replacement trees should be planted to mitigate its loss. Replacement trees to mitigate the loss of trees
removed, shall, pursuant to Section 29.10.0985 of the Town Code, be determined by the Parks and Public
.Works Department.
Trees #17 and 29 would sustain root damage with implementation of the driveway and parking lot
reconfiguration. Provided the work is performed according to AR recommendations (see Attachment 1 of
the Initial Study), the potential impacts would be reduced to less than significant.
The Town will implement the following measures to reduce impacts on trees to be retained and
adequately replace trees to be removed:
MITIGATION: All of the 26 recommendations made by Arbor Resources (May 4, 2007) will be
implemented to eliminate or minimize the construction-related impacts on the trees to be retained.
These include nine recommendations under- the Design Guidelines section addressing tree location
mapping, protective fencing, building setback, trenching, drainage facilities, and irrigation plans. The
report also provides 17 recommendations for Protection Measures before and during construction,
encompassing fencing, removal of hardscape, demolition, work within tree canopies, etc. The report's
recommendations are included as Attachment 1 of the Initial Study.
MITIGATION MONITORING: The Planning Division of the Community Development Department will
be responsible for ensuring that all recommended Design Guidelines are reflected in final project
plans. The Parks Division of the Parks and Public Works Department will be responsible for ensuring
that all recommended Protection Measures are properly implemented during construction.
5. Cultural Resources: Project implementation would involve minor surface disturbance to
accommodate the two building additions (1,557 square feet) and parking lot expansion/reconfiguration.
Since no major excavation would be required and the site is located away from Los Gatos Creek, the
MAY, 2007 4
MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION - LOS GATOs-MONTE SERENO POLICE SERVICES FACILITY
potential for encountering cultural resources would be very low. The existing building is not historic
(constructed in 1965) and therefore, the project would have no impact on any historic resources.
6. Geology and Soils: A review of the Town's hazards maps indicates that the project site has a.
moderate shrink-swell potential, very low potential for liquefaction, moderate potential for fault rupture,
and moderate potential for seismic shaking. Due to the site's relatively level topography, no erosion,
slope stability, or debris flow hazards were identified for the site. The Town's Fault Map indicates that
there are no known faults traversing the site. However, lineation indicative of a potential fault zone is
located approximately 400 feet to the northwest of the project site.
At a minimum, the existing building would be expected to be su sect to strong groundshaking during its
design life. However, it should be noted that most of the Bay Area as well as surrounding development
are subject to groundshaking hazards. In order to assess the structural adequacy of the existing building
for earthquake and gravity loads and use as a police substation, the Town retained Hohbach-Lewin, Inc.
(HL), a structural engineering consultant, to evaluate the structural condition of the building. The HL
report indicates that the existing 1965 structure is a cast-in-place concrete shear wall building with
concrete roof slab supported on steel wide flange beams. The roof slab appears to have been intended as a
future second floor. The HL report states that the roof and walls of the main structure form a concrete box.
that provides a large amount of resistance to seismic loads. However, the rear wing of the building is
constructed of metal deck with metal stud walls on two sides. Consequently, the rear wing of the building
is more flexible than the main structure and could experience some structural damage in a moderate to
large earthquake. The HL report* concludes that the existing structure would be appropriate for its.
proposed use as a police substation, and with some minor seismic retrofits would provide good seismic
safety in the event of a moderate to large earthquake. Since the Town proposes to implement all seismic
retrofit recommendations of the HL report, any potentially significant seismic impacts would be reduced
to a less-than-significant level.
The Town will prepare a soil engineering report to address any soil engineering constraints in the areas
proposed for new development. This report will be prepared during the building permit process. Proposed
implementation of recommendations made in this ,report will reduce any potential soil engineering
constraints to a less-than-significant level.
7. Hazards and Hazardous Materials: A Phase One Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) was
prepared for the project site by ENGEO, Inc. in April 2007 and this study is available for review at the
Los Gatos Community Development Department. The ESA included a review of local, state, tribal, and
federal environmental records, standard historical sources, aerial photographs, fire insurance maps, and
physical setting sources, as well as a site reconnaissance. The ESA indicates that the project site was an
orchard before being developed in 1957..
The ESA did not find documentation or physical evidence of soil or groundwater impairments associated
with the current or past use of the project site. A review of regulatory databases found no documentation
of hazardous materials violations or discharges on the project site or within the appropriate search
distances that would reasonably be expected to affect the project site. Therefore, the potential for
encountering hazardous materials during project construction would be low.
There was a 4,000-gallon diesel underground storage tank (UST) on the adjacent Verizon property to the
northeast, and this tank was removed in 1993. No contamination was detected beneath the tank, but
contamination was detected where a small diesel spill occurred from the dispensing piping during tank
and piping removal. The contaminated soils were removed and the case was closed by the Santa Clara
Valley Water District in 1995. Subsequently, a new diesel UST was installed just east of the removed
dispensing pipe trench to store diesel for a backup generator associated with the Verizon facility. In 2004,
MAY, 2007 5
MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION - LOS GATOS-MONTE SERENO POLICE SERVICES FACILITY
a 4,000-gallon diesel tank UST, also on the Verizon property, was removed. No contamination was
detected beneath the tank. A Tank Closure Report was submitted by Verizon to the Santa Clara Fire
Protection District, but the District is unable to locate the closure letter. However, soil samples done by
the Town of Los Gatos and Verizon did not report any constituents above laboratory detection limits.
The proposed project would include installation of an emergency generator, which would include a diesel
fuel storage tank, to keep the facility operating during power outages. Safe use of diesel would be
addressed through preparation and implementation of the legally-required hazardous materials business
plan (in accordance with community right-to-know laws) and compliance with the Aboveground
Petroleum Storage Act.
8. Hydrology and Water Quality: According to the Los Gatos General Plan, the project site is located
outside mapped 100-year flood hazard areas. Approximately 79.5 percent (or 37,750 square feet) of the
1.09-acre project parcel is covered with the impervious surfaces of the site's building, asphalt parking lot,
and driveway. Project development would result in replacement or reconfiguration of impervious surfaces
associated with proposed driveways, parking, sidewalks, or building area. There would be no net increase
in impervious surfaces on the project site as a result of the project.
Presently, storm runoff flows on the project site discharge as sheet flow to Camellia Terrace, east of the
property. Camellia Terrace in the project vicinity drains to Lilac Way, and Lilac drains eastward to
Cherry Blossom Lane. Neither Camellia Terrace nor Lilac Way has storm drain facilities. Storm drain
facilities in Cherry Blossom Lane collect runoff from Lilac Way and convey flows to Ross Creek via
facilities in Blossom Hill Road. Since the proposed project would result in a slight reduction of total
impervious surfaces through additional landscape area on the site, storm runoff volumes from the project
site would be reduced and this would be a beneficial impact of the project.
New, more stringent water quality regulations of the Clean Water Act have recently been triggered
because the NPDES (National Pollution Discharge Elimination System) permit program has failed to
protect beneficial uses of Santa Clara County's creeks and the South San Francisco Bay, as evidenced by
such observations as violations of ambient water quality criteria, high concentrations of toxic substances,
and fish consumption health advisories. These new regulations require that all discharges shall comply
with Provision C.3, New and Redevelopment Performance Standards of Order No. 01-024 of the NPDES
permit program.
The project site is located within the Los Gatos Creek watershed and runoff from the site ultimately
discharges into Los Gatos Creek (west of the site) and eventually into the Bay. Los Gatos Creek is on the
Clean Water Act Section 303(d) List of Water Quality Limited Segments due to the presence of diazinon,
a pesticide, and its primary source is identified as urban runoff and storm drains. Best Management
Practices (BMPs) outlined by the Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention Program
(SCVURPPP) for treatment control of pesticides are bioretention, infiltration, and media filter with
adsorption/absorption as the removal process.
During project operation, surface runoff from the site would be expected to carry typical urban pollutants
generated by parking lots, building surfaces, and landscape areas. As a condition of project approval, the
Town will prepare and implement of interim and final erosion control plans as well as non-point source
pollution prevention measures such as installation of filtration devices or use of bio-swales.
Implementation of such measures would reduce potential water quality impacts to a less-than-significant
level.
The proposed project would involve removal and replacement of less than 10,000 square feet of
impervious surfaces and thus would not be subject to C.3 requirements. Since the area of disturbance
MAY, 2007 6
MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION - LOS GATOS-MONTE SERENO POLICE SERVICES FACILITY
would involve less than one acre, a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) would not be
required.
9. Land Use and Planning: The site is currently developed with an existing commercial building, paved
parking lot, driveway, and landscaping. The project parcel is currently designated by the existing General
Plan as "CH, Mixed Use Commercial," while the site is zoned "CH, Restricted Highway Commercial."
The CH General Plan designation allows for "a mixture of retail, office, residential in a mixed use setting,
along with lodging, service, auto related businesses, non-manufacturing industrial uses, recreational uses
and restaurants." The CH zone allows retailing, office, service business, and limited manufacturing uses.
The Town proposes to use the project site as a police substation under a conditional use permit for a
public building providing community services. Section 29.20.180, Conditional Use Permits, of the Los
Gatos Town Code Zoning Regulations states:
"there are uses which can be specified for each zone which, in practically all instances, will be
mutually compatible. In addition, there are other uses which might be compatible with ordinarily
allowed uses if properly located and regulated. These are called conditional uses. They are listed in
Section 29.20.185."
Section 29.20.185 presents a table of conditional uses for all zones identified by the Town's zoning
regulations. Under Item (2)a of the Table, Community Services, a public building for police services is
listed as a conditionally permitted use in all zones but one, RMH (Mobile Home Residential).
Consequently, the proposed police substation would be a conditionally permitted use under the project
site's existing zoning district of CH.
The project vicinity is comprised of a mix of commercial, office, and residential uses. Adjacent parcels to
the south of the project site and to the west across and also fronting on Los Gatos Boulevard are currently
in commercial use; residential development adjoins the project site to the north and east. The existing
police services use would be consistent with this mix of uses (as defined by the Zoning Ordinance),.
particularly with the adjacent commercial buildings to the south and west.
In 1997, the Town completed the Los Gatos Boulevard Plan, which presents the Town's vision for the
development of the Los Gatos Boulevard corridor. The Plan provides land use goals and guidelines for
the Los Gatos Boulevard Plan area, which includes the project site. While the Plan does not include
specific direction for land use at the project site, the project proposes to support the Plan's identified land
use goals through: 1) the provision of a dependable source of income, employment, goods, and services,
and 2) encourage a mixture of uses along Los Gatos Boulevard that are compatible with surrounding uses.
The proposed police substation would be consistent with existing commercial uses adjoining the site to
the south and west. The project attempts to minimize adverse impacts on the adjacent residential uses to
the north through a design that retains the existing configuration of access and parking for the proposed
use. While Policy IV.D.6 of the Los Gatos Boulevard Plan applies to new development, the proposed
project attempts to comply with policy through the maintenance of existing access and parking facilities.
10. Mineral Resources: The Los Gatos General Plan does not identify any regionally or locally-
important mineral resources on the project site or in its vicinity.
11. Noise: Project Construction. Project construction would result in temporary short-term noise increases
due to the operation of heavy equipment. Construction noise sources range from about 76 to 85 dBA at
50 feet for most types of construction equipment with slightly higher levels of about 88 to 91 dBA at 50
feet for certain types of earthmoving and impact equipment. If noise controls are installed on
construction equipment, the noise levels could be reduced by 1 to 16 dBA, depending on the type of
MAY, 2007 7
MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION - LOS GATOS-MONTE SERENO POLICE SERVICES FACILITY
equipment. The potential for construction-related noise increases to adversely affect nearby residential
receptors would depend on the location and proximity of construction activities to these receptors.
The Town Noise Ordinance (Chapter 16) restricts construction activities to the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 8:00
p.m. on weekdays and 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays. This ordinance also limits noise
generation to 85 dBA at the property line or 85 dBA at 25 feet. Since the project involves mostly interior
remodeling of the existing building on the site, exterior construction activities would be limited to the two
new building additions on the southeast portion of the building, installation of an emergency generator
and roof-top air conditioning units, possible exterior architectural enhancements, parking lot/driveway
improvements, and landscape replacement. Such limited exterior construction activities would be short in
duration in the portions of the project site closest to adjacent residences to the north and east. Therefore, it
is expected that construction noise impacts on adjacent residences could be maintained at less-than-
significant levels with proper implementation of Town Noise Ordinance restrictions.
Project Operation. A detailed noise study was prepared by Edward L. Pack Associates, Inc. (EPA) in
May 2007, and this report is included as Attachment 2 of the Initial Study. As part of this study, noise
measurements were taken at the existing northern and eastern property boundaries. Noise measurements
indicate that existing average ambient noise levels adjacent to Oleander Avenue residences to the north
(190 feet from the Los Gatos Boulevard centerline) range between 42 and 60 dBA. Noise levels at
Camellia Terrace residences to the east (at Lilac Way) range between 51 and 69 dBA.
The EPA study estimated potential noise increases associated with proposed police operations based on
measurements taken at the existing police station of: police and public car doors closing, engines starting,
engines idling; operation of walkie talkies; loud detainee; shotgun racking; and police dog barking.
Maximum instantaneous noise levels for each of these noise events ranged from 55 to 90 dBA at
distances ranging between four and 25 feet (see Table II of Attachment 2 of the Initial Study for more
detail). When these measured noise levels are adjusted for the estimated distance between these sources
and the property boundaries, estimated maximum noise levels from these sources range from 27 to 69
dBA at the northern property boundary and 27 and 66 dBA at the eastern property boundary. In addition,
noise levels were estimated for the types and sizes of emergency generator and air conditioning units that
are expected to be used at the site. Adjusting for distance, the emergency generator is estimated to
generate noise levels of 53 dBA to 48 dBA at the closest residences to the north and east. Proposed roof-
top air conditioners are estimated to generate noise levels of 36 dBA at the nearest residences to the north
and 27 dBA at the nearest residences to the east.
When the Los Gatos Noise Ordinance noise limits are applied to the project site, the ordinance noise
limits range between 54 and 70 dBA depending on the time of day and day of the week. The noise source
significance criterion applied in this analysis is the most restrictive, nighttime limit of 54 dBA because the
proposed police operations facility would operate 24 hours per day, seven days per week. When the
project's estimated noise levels are compared to the noise ordinance limits, maximum noise levels
associated with most police activities (including the emergency generator and air conditioning units)
would not exceed ordinance limits except when car doors close or police dogs bark at night (10 p.m. to 6
a.m.). Maximum noise levels associated with these activities could exceed the ordinance limit by 1 to 8
dBA from cars parking in the northern public parking lot (adjacent to the northern project boundary) and
15 dBA if the canine unit dog barks in the secure parking spaces closest to the northern project boundary
or Camellia Terrace. Residences on Oleander Avenue that would be affected by such noise are those with
rear yards located within 45 feet of the public parking area. The Town will implement the following
measures to achieve compliance with 54-dBA nighttime limit of the Los Gatos Noise Ordinance and
reduce the project's noise impacts to a less-than-significant level:
MAY, 2007
MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION- LOS GATOS-MONTE SERENO POLICE SERVICES FACILITY
MITIGATION: The canine unit dogs will be loaded and unloaded at the staff entry area adjacent to the
proposed sally port. The dogs will be instructed to refrain from barking while on the site.
MITIGATION: Any potentially unruly detainees will be loaded and unloaded within the proposed sally
port.
MITIGATION: One of the following two alternatives will be implemented to reduce noise levels along
the northern project boundary:
a. An 11-foot high acoustically-effective barrier will be constructed along the northern property
boundary (contiguous to Oleander Avenue residences). To control flanking noise, this barrier will
be continued along the easterly boundary for a distance of 15 feet and at a height of 8 feet. The
barrier height is in reference to the nearest parking space ground elevation. Barrier location and
height is shown on Figure 1 of Attachment 2 of the Initial Study.
b. Parking will not be allowed within 50 feet of the northern property boundary between 10 p.m. and
6 a.m.
MITIGATION: Both of the following measures will be implemented to reduce noise levels along the
eastern property boundary, adjacent to Camellia Terrace:
a. A solid gate will be constructed across the driveway on Camellia Terrace. The gate may be a
motor-driven rolling type, constructed of wood to match the associated fencing.
b. The Camellia Terrace driveway will be used for emergency (answering. calls) only.
The Los Gatos Noise Element also specifies a noise limit of 55 dBA DNL' for residential uses. Based on
noise measurements taken at the northern and eastern project boundaries, the 24-hour, time-weighted
DNL noise level was calculated to be 57 to 58 dBA DNL. Noise levels at Camellia Terrace residences to
the east (at Lilac Way) range between 51 and 69 dBA (Leq) and the 24-hour, time-weighted noise level
was calculated to be 64 dBA DNL. When the above project-related individual noise events are accounted
for over a 24-hour period (based on the proposed personnel levels, shift changes, etc. and adding a 10-dB
penalty for nighttime activities), the proposed police services facility is estimated to generate noise levels
of approximately 44 dBA DNL at the northern property boundary and 49 dBA DNL at the eastern
property boundary. Since both estimated noise levels would be substantially less than existing noise levels
in both areas, project-related noise would not add to the existing noise environment. Project-related noise
levels also would be within the 55-dBA DNL noise limit specified in the Los Gatos Noise Element.
Project implementation could result in occasional use of sirens in the project vicinity when patrol cars
respond to emergency calls. At the police department's current location at Town Hall, sirens only need to
be used leaving Town Hall a few times per month. With the proposed facility, responses to most calls
would made by officers that are already out on patrol in the community. If a response to a call is made
from the proposed facility, patrol cars would primarily exit via Los Gatos Boulevard. Vehicles that must
exit via Camellia Terrace would use lights until they reach a major street to the extent feasible, unless
i The DNL (Day-Night Level) rating is determined by the cumulative noise exposures occurring over a 24-hour day
in terms of A-weighted sound energy. The 24-hour day is divided into two sub-periods for the DNL index (daytime:
7 a.m. to 10 p.m.; nighttime: 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.). A 10-dBA weighting factor is applied (added) to the noise levels
occurring during the nighttime period to account for the greater sensitivity of people to noise during these hours.
MAY, 2007 9
MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION - LOS GATOS-MONTE SERENO POLICE SERVICES FACILITY
sirens need to be used to ensure public safety. Therefore, use of sirens in the vicinity of the proposed
facility is expected to occur only occasionally and only in emergency situations. Such occasional use of
sirens would not significantly increase existing ambient noise levels, but would likely be audible at any
adjacent residences. Sirens are exempt from the Los Gatos Noise Ordinance. The Town will implement
the following measure to minimize potential noise disturbance at adjacent or nearby residences:
MITIGATION: Use of sirens will be limited in the adjacent residential neighborhood, particularly at
night, unless absolutely necessary for public safety.
MITIGATION MONITORING: The Planning Division of the Community Development Department will
be responsible for ensuring the above restrictions on activities and acoustical barriers are incorporated
into the Conditional Use Permit.
12. Population and Housing: The proposed project would not result in an increase in local population.
The proposed police services would occupy an existing building located on the project site. The project
would not be considered growth-inducing, since the project would involve redevelopment of an existing
developed parcel and the project would not extend roads or infrastructure to any adjacent properties.
13. Public Services: Services are already provided to the project site as well as to adjacent commercial
and residential uses. No significant increase in demand on public.services are expected to be required for
the proposed building since services are already provided to the existing structure on the site. Project
implementation would improve police services by providing needed space for current police operations
and holding cells that meet state code. Existing police operations currently have approximately 5,275
square feet of space at Town Hall, which was built in 1964 when the Town had a population of 9,000.
Based on the current population in the Town of approximately 30,000 and the range of services provided
by the police department, studies have shown that police operations require approximately 20,000 square
feet. Currently the police dispatch operators are in a multi-purpose location with many distractions. There
are no separate interview rooms for victims and suspects, or separate restrooms for victims, suspects, or
staff. Suspect holding facilities are not in compliance with State Department of Corrections or Fire Code
standards, and there is no secure space to store ammunition or evidence. Parking is inadequate for police
vehicles, employees, and visitors. The proposed project will be subject to formal plan review by the
Santa Clara County Fire Department as part of the Conditional Use Permit review process.
14. Recreation: The proposed project would not add new population to the area, and therefore would not
increase the demand for recreational services.
15. Transportation and Traffic: A detailed traffic study was completed by Kimley-Horn and
Associates, Inc. (KHA) in May 2007 and this report is included as Attachment 3 of the Initial Study
(report appendices are available for review at the Town Community Development Department).
Trip Generation. The Town's Traffic Impact Policy (Resolution 1991-174) requires preparation of a
detailed traffic study for any project with the potential to generate 20 or more additional AM or PM peak
hour trips. The KHA study estimated the project's trip generation on weekdays and weekends and
compared them to trip generation levels that could be expected from either a general office building or
retail shopping center. On weekdays, the proposed police services facility would generate 15 trips during
the AM peak period and 20 trips during the PM peak period. When compared to an office building, the
project would generate 2 more trips during the AM peak period and 7 more trips during the PM peak
period. When compared to a shopping center, the project would be generate 6 more trips during the AM
peak period and 12 fewer trips during the PM peak period.
MAY, 2007 10
MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION - LOS GATOS-MONTE SERENO POLICE SERVICES FACILITY
On weekends, the project would generate 10 trips during the Saturday peak period and 22 trips during off-
peak periods. When compared to an office building, the project would generate 6 more trips during the
Saturday peak period. When compared to a shopping center, the project would be generate 34 fewer trips
during the Saturday peak period.
Intersection Service Level Operation. The KHA study evaluated the project's impact on the two adjacent
signalized Los Gatos Boulevard intersections at Blossom Hill Road and Chirco Drive. KHA determined
that project-related traffic increases would add the equivalent of approximately 0.1 second of average
delay at both intersections on weekdays. Therefore, the project would have a less-than-significant impact
on surrounding roadway traffic conditions. On weekends, project-related traffic increases on Los Gatos
Boulevard would be the equivalent of less than 0.1 percent of current traffic levels on this road
(approximately 25,000 daily vehicles), which is considered less than significant.
Pro-ject Access. There are currently two access driveways to the site: one on Los Gatos Boulevard and one
on Camellia Terrace. The project would maintain the existing driveway on Los Gatos Boulevard at its
current location but it would be widened from approximately 15 feet to 22 feet. The project would
maintain the project driveway on Camellia Terrace at approximately the same location, although some
minor modifications may be required. The driveway on Los Gatos Boulevard would serve as the primary
access for the site, and would be used by personal vehicles of police department staff, patrol vehicles,
public citizen vehicles, and others accessing the site. The site also proposes to install a secure gate on the
Camellia Terrace driveway and it is the intention of the Police Department to primarily use the Los Gatos
Boulevard driveway; the Camellia Terrace driveway access would only be utilized for emergency or
special circumstances.
The access driveway on Los Gatos Boulevard currently operates as a right-turn entry and right-turn exit
only location because there is a landscaped concrete median that prohibits left-turning vehicles from
entering or leaving the Los Gatos Boulevard driveway. Although no change in access is currently
proposed at this driveway, the police department is considering the possibility of creating a cut in the
existing median opposite the project driveway and signing this opening to allow use by emergency
vehicles only. KHA evaluated this possibility and determined that the northbound left-turn bay at the
Frank Avenue/Los Gatos Boulevard intersection may need to be modified to accommodate this median
cut.
It should be noted that there are currently other site access options. Vehicles that exit the site using the
Los Gatos Boulevard driveway and wish to travel south may use the Frank Avenue northbound left-turn
bay and make a U-turn at the intersection to travel southbound. In addition, vehicles that enter the site
from the north may travel slightly past the driveway location and make a U-turn at a southbound left turn
at Placer Oaks Road. These turnaround locations may not be preferred but they do allow for relatively
convenient and legal access (southern U-turn is approximately 500 feet away and northern U-turn is
approximately 150 feet away) with no modifications to the existing roadway geometrics. Although these
access conditions may not be ideal for emergency situations, patrol vehicles should be able to activate
their emergency flashers and enter the traffic flow in a timely manner to make these turning movements.
KHA recommends that the Police Department review the frequency of their need for emergency access to
determine the best alternative for an access modification at this location. The need for a dedicated entry
and exit to the proposed police services facility and potential design alternatives will be considered during
the Conditional Use Permit review process.
Since police vehicles would be entering and leaving site driveways to respond to emergency calls,
adequate sight distance and driveway access should be maintained to minimize ensure timely response of
police officers. The following measures will be implemented to maintain access and minimize safety
hazards:
MAY, 2007 11
MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION - LOS GATOS-MONTE SERENO POLICE SERVICES FACILITY
MITIGATION: At least one vehicle on-street parking space will be removed on the south side of each
driveway to increase sight distance for vehicles entering and exiting the access locations on Los Gatos
Boulevard and Camellia Terrace. A parking space of at least 25 feet will be removed immediately
adjacent to the intersection and the curb painted red to prohibit parking.
MITIGATION: A "KEEP CLEAR" legend and stop line will be installed on Los Gatos Boulevard and
Camellia Terrace at the project driveway locations to help prevent vehicles from blocking the
intersection during peak traffic periods or other congested conditions.
MITIGATION MONITORING: The Community Development and Engineering Division of the Parks
and Public Works Departments will be responsible for ensuring the above recommendations are
incorporated into the Conditional Use Permit and properly implemented during construction.
Parking. The proposed site plan indicates 46 parking spaces are proposed for Police Department staff
(including one handicap accessible space), eight parking spaces are proposed for utility vehicles and
motorcycle parking, and seven public parking spaces (including one handicap accessible parking space).
The 46 vehicle spaces and eight motorcycle spaces are located within a secured parking area that is
accessed via the parking lot located near Los Gatos Boulevard as well as the rear entrance to the property
from Camellia Terrace. A preliminary evaluation of the changing parking demand throughout the day
shows that the available parking spaces in the secured parking area should be sufficient to meet the needs
of the police department. Although the seven public parking spaces is relatively limited, Town staff have
indicated that the proposed police services facility is not intended to be a the primary location for the
public to do business with the Police Department. Therefore, the seven proposed parking spaces are
expected to adequately meet the demand for public parking at the project site.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Access. In general, no pedestrian or bicycle access issues were identified with the
site or its frontage with Los Gatos Boulevard and Camellia Terrace. The Police Department may consider
the installation of a bike rack for its staff who may wish to ride their bike to work. Since the proposed
police services facility is not intended to serve as a primary location for interacting with public citizens it
may not be necessary to provide bike parking for the public. However, if a bike rack is provided for
Police Department staff and it is located near the front entrance to the facility it could accessible to public
citizens as well, but typically it is recommended that these bike racks be located in the most secure areas
to prevent vandalism or theft.
16. Utilities and Service Systems: Utilities are currently developed on the project site and within the
existing building. The proposed project will be subject to formal plan review by the Fire Department
(including adequacy of fire flows, emergency access, etc.) as part of the Conditional Use Permit review
process. Other utilities (sewer, water, electrical, gas, and telephone facilities) will be upgraded as
necessary.
Copies of the Initial Study used to make the above recommendation are on file and available for public
inspection during regular business hours at the Town Community Development Department, 110 East

8. Description of Project: The Town of Los Gatos proposes to acquire a 1.09-acre parcel (47,613
square feet), located at 15900 Los Gatos Boulevard (Figure 1). The parcel extends between Los Gatos
Boulevard and Camellia Terrace, and is located approximately 600 feet north of Blossom Hill Road.
The project parcel is developed with an existing 9,238-square-foot, single-story building, paved
parking areas east and north of this building, and landscaping along the project boundaries.
The preliminary development concept for the proposed police services facility is presented as Figure
2. The interior of the existing building would be remodeled to accommodate police operations, which
will include community meeting room, lobby, offices, lockers, evidence storage, fitness room, and
holding cells. There are proposed to be two building additions on the southeast side of the building to
provide a vehicle sally port and corridor with various equipment rooms (1,557 square feet). The
existing building with building additions would result in a total building area of 10,795 square feet.
In addition to interior remodeling, the project would also include: (1) expansion of the existing
parking lot by addition of a new parking lot in the area immediately east and northeast of the existing
building; (2) reconfiguration of the existing parking lot; (3) addition of an emergency generator in the
parking lot located east of the building; and (4) addition of air conditioning equipment on the roof and
in the basement. The parking lot located east of the existing building would be a secure parking lot
(gated) with 46 spaces (46 secure parking spaces for cars and 8 motorcycle spaces). A public parking.
lot with 7 spaces would be located north of the building.

INITIAL STUDY - LOS GATOS-MONTE SERENO POLICE SERVICES FACILITY
Police operations at the project site would occur seven days, 24 hours per day. On weekdays, there
would be three work shifts (6 a.m. to 4 p.m.; 3 p.m. to 1 a.m.; and 9 p.m. to 7 a.m.) with five to seven
patrol officers per shift. On weekdays, there would be four additional personnel at this building
between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. and a community service officer between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. On weekends,
there would be two work shifts (7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.) with six officers per shift. The
overlap in personnel during shift changes would result in a peak parking demand of 30 parking spaces
(13 officer, 14 patrol, and 3 captain/evidence personnel).
The project site currently has one driveway on Los Gatos Boulevard and one driveway on Camellia
I race. There are two additional driveways on Camellia Terrace associated with the contiguous
Verizon parcel, and an existing access drive extends along the north side of the Verizon building,
connecting this driveway on Camellia Terrace with the project's driveway on Los Gatos Boulevard.
The project would maintain both existing driveways at their current locations, but the Los Gatos
Boulevard driveway would be widened from approximately 15 feet to 22 feet.
9. Surrounding Land Uses and Setting: The project site is comprised of approximately 1.09 acres
(47,613 square feet) located on the east side of Los Gatos Boulevard between Blossom Hill Road and
Los Gatos-Almaden Road. The project parcel is developed with an existing 9,238-square-foot, single-
story building, paved parking areas east and north of this building, and landscaping along the project
boundaries.
The project site is bounded on the west by Los Gatos Boulevard, on the east by Camellia Terrace, on
the north by single-family residences and a Verizon telephone equipment facility, and on the south by
the Rite Aid Drug Store. Two single-family residences located at the,west end of Oleander Avenue
adjoin the northwestern boundary of the project site. Masonry and wood fencing as well as mature
landscape trees are located along the northern project boundary. Landscape trees and a chain link
fence extend along the southern project boundary.
10. Other agencies whose approval is required (e.g., permits, financing approval, or participation
agreements): None.

sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the
effects that remain to be addressed.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,
because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR
or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided
or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions
or mitigation meas t are i on t o osed project, nothing further is required.

1. Aesthetics - Would the project:

within a state scenic highway?

would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area?
The existing building on the project parcel is a single-story building. With the proposed project, the
exterior of the west side of this building would remain generally unchanged except for possible
architectural enhancements and addition of two small air conditioning units on the roof (with visual
screening provided as necessary). Landscaping would also remain generally unchanged except for
removal of some landscaping south of the existing driveway to accommodate proposed widening of this
driveway from approximately 15 feet to 22 feet. Such exterior building modifications would not
significantly alter views of the building from Los- Gatos'Boulevard. The.*oposed parking lot northeast of
the building would be visible from Los Gatos Boulevard, but these views would be obscured by
landscaping that is proposed in the area north of the building and west of the parking lot. Proposed
building additions and parking lot changes on the east side of the building would not be visible from Los
Gatos Boulevard.
The east side of the building and parking lot are currently visible from Camellia Terrace. While the
proposed building additions, emergency generator, and parking lot reconfiguration could be visible from
this street, views of these facilities would be obscured or screened by fencing and proposed landscaping
along the eastern project boundary.
The project site is located within the plan area for the Los Gatos Boulevard Plan. The Plan provides
direction and guidelines for overall development and improvements along Los Gatos Boulevard. In
addition to the Plan, the Town has adopted the Los Gatos Boulevard Design Standards, which include
specific recommendations for the architectural treatment, organization, and mix of buildings and open
space in the Los Gatos Boulevard Plan area. The Los Gatos Boulevard Plan Design Standards emphasize
the following:
■ Location of parking in the rear and location of buildings adjacent to the street (so that buildings, not
parking lots, are seen along Los Gatos Boulevard).
• Staggering of buildings along the Los Gatos Boulevard frontage to avoid a tunnel effect.
■ Articulation of facades to minimize building mass.
■ Framing rather than blocking scenic views.
■ Designing a development to fit a site's natural conditions.
■ Provision of landscape elements in parking areas.
MAY, 2007
INITIAL STUDY - LOS GATOS-MONTE SERENO POLICE SERVICES FACILITY
■ Location of loading and service areas away from the street.
■ Provision of defined pedestrian paths through large parking areas and pedestrian entries from the
front as well as the rear sides which face the parking lot.
The proposed project would generally conform to the Los Gatos Boulevard Design Standards. Most of the
parking lot is located behind the existing building so views from Los Gatos Boulevard are primarily of the
building and proposed landscaping would obscure views of the portion of the parking lot located north of
the building. Architectural enhancements that may be provided on the building could help articulate the
west fagade of this building. Except for two small building additions on the east side of the building, no
major changes to the exterior of the building would occur; therefore, no change in distant or views from
surrounding areas vJOUId be expected. Lcadzig and service areas associated with the proposed use would
occur on the east side of the building, away from Los Gatos Boulevard. Walkways would be added on the
north side of the building, providing pedestrian access to the building's public entrance from the`sidewalk
on Los Gatos Boulevard and the public parking lot located along the northern project boundary.
The proposed building could add nighttime lighting on the project site and in the parking lot. While
lighting changes are not specified in the proposed building concept, specific lighting design, would be
evaluated as part of the Conditional Use Permit review process. To reduce the potential for disturbance
due to nighttime lighting, the project will need to satisfy Town Code Section 29.10.09035, which
prohibits the production of direct or reflected glare (such as that produced by floodlight onto any area
outside the project boundary).

H. Agriculture Resources - Would the project:
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland
of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps
prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and
Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency,
X
to non-agricultural use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a
X
Williamson Act contract?
c) Involve other changes in the existing environment which,
due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of
X
Farmland, to non-agricultural use?
The 1.09-acre site is not in agricultural use and has no agricultural potential due to its small size, location;
and currently developed condition. Therefore, the project would not adversely affect any existing
agricultural resources or operations. Since the properties surrounding the project site are developed with
commercial and residential uses, the proposed project would not adversely affect other agricultural
properties or result in the conversion of farmland to non-agricultural use.
III. Air Quality - Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable
X
air quality plan?
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially
X
to an existing or projected air quality violation?

Since the project would relocate existing police operations from one location in Los Gatos to another
location in the same community, there would be no net new air emissions contributions to the air basin
associated with project-related traffic. Therefore, the project would be consistent with the Bay Area Air
Quality Management District's (BAAQMD) most recently adopted regional air quality plan, the Bay Area
2005 Ozone Strategy (BAGS).
The San Francisco Bay Area Air Basin is classified by the BAAQMD as non-attainment for ozone and
inhalable particulates (PMIO). Although the proposed building would result in a net traffic increase of 2
trips during the AM peak period and 7 trips during the PM peak period at the project site, these trips are
already generated by existing police operations at Town Hall. Therefore, the proposed relocation of police
services would not generate new air emissions and would not contribute to regional non-attainment of
criteria pollutants.
Adjacent residential uses are considered to be sensitive receptors. Proposed grading activities would
generate short-term emissions of criteria pollutants, including suspended and inhalable particulate matter
and equipment exhaust emissions. The project parcel is 1.09 acre, but project construction would result in
surface disturbance of less than one acre. The BAAQMD does not require quantification of construction
emissions, but considers any project's construction-related impacts to be less than significant if required
dust-control measures are implemented. The Town's standard dust control conditions require
implementation of the BAAQMD's standard dust control measures (required on sites of three acres or
less), which would mitigate the project's construction-related air quality impacts to a less-than-significant
level.
IV. Biological Resources - Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through
habitat modifications, on any species identified as a
candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or
X
regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California
Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service?
b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or
other sensitive natural community identified in local or
regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California
X
Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service?

The project site consists of an existing building, parking lot, access driveway, and landscaped area along
Los Gatos Boulevard from previous commercial use of the property. Vegetation on the site consists of
landscape trees, shrubs, and groundcover along the western perimeter of the property, and in landscape
islands throughout the parking lot in the southeastern part of the site. Trees (primarily American
sweetgum) along the southern boundary of the site serve as a screening element for the adjacent
commercial properties. The six street trees planted along Los Gatos Boulevard as well as those in the
parking lot landscape islands are Raywood ash trees. The habitat value of site vegetation is limited to
urban-adapted species.
Policy O.P.3.3 of the Open Space Element of the Los Gatos General Plan emphasizes preservation of
public and private landscaping along Town streets. The Los Gatos Tree Protection Ordinance states that
the preferred tree replacement is two or more trees of a species and size designated by the Director of the
Parks and Public Works Department. Tree replacement requirements are based on canopy size, which is
defined in Table 3-1 of the Ordinance, Tree Canopy - Replacement Standard. Tree canopy replacement
requirements range from two to six 24-inch box size trees or two 36-inch and/or 48-inch box size trees,
depending on the canopy size of the tree to be removed.
The Town's consulting arborist, Arbor Resources (AR), completed an arboricultural survey for the
proposed project in May 2007,1 and this study is available for review at the Los Gatos Community
Development Department. The AR survey identified a total of 44 trees of eight various species that could
be affected by the proposed project. Of these 44 trees, eight are within the public right-of-way and two are
sufficiently close on properties adjoining the site as to be vulnerable to potential damage during
development (Section 29.10.0995(B) of the Town's Municipal Code]. The 44 trees listed in the inventory
include 43 Protected Trees (trees with a trunk diameter of four inches or greater); Tree #32 is comprised
of 13 small privets situated along the neighboring southern building and is in a row of other smaller
privets that constitute non-Ordinance sized trees.
Of the 44 trees on the site, the proposed parking lot configuration would subject the following ten trees to
removal: #21- 28, 30 and 31. Except for #30, all are Raywood ash that have either died or can be expected
MAY, 2007
INITIAL STUDY - LOS GATOS-MONTE SERENO POLICE SERVICES FACILITY
to die in the near future. Tree #30 is a camphor tree that contains significant branch dieback throughout its
canopy. Based on this information, AR concludes that the loss of these ten trees would be insignificant
and the project would comply with the Town's Ordinance.
The proposed building design would require the removal of Tree #1. This is a 10.5-inch diameter
southern magnolia that appears in overall good condition. However, recent damage to the bark has
occurred during demolition work and, consequently, AR advises against the relocation of this tree. Rather,
replacement trees should be planted to mitigate its loss. Replacement trees to mitigate the loss of trees
removed, shall, pursuant to Section 29.10.0985 of the Town Code, be determined by the Parks and Public
Works Department.
Trees #17 and 29 would sustain root damage with implementation of the driveway and parking lot
reconfiguration. Provided the work is performed according to AR recommendations (see Attachment 1),
the potential impacts would be reduced to less than significant.
The Town will implement the following measures to reduce impacts on trees to be retained and
adequately replace trees to be removed:
All of the 26 recommendations made by Arbor Resources (May 4, 2007) will be implemented to
eliminate or minimize the construction-related impacts on the trees to be retained. Recommendations
are listed under Section 5.0, Recommendations, of the arborist's report. These include nine
recommendations under the Design Guidelines section addressing tree location mapping, protective
fencing, building setback, trenching, drainage facilities, and irrigation plans. The report also
provides 17 recommendations for Protection Measures before and during construction,
encompassing fencing, removal of hardscape, demolition, work within tree canopies, etc. The report's
recommendations are included as Attachment 1.

Project implementation would involve minor surface disturbance to accommodate the two building
additions (1,557 square feet) and parking lot expansion/reconfiguration. Since no major excavation
would be required and the site is located away from Los Gatos Creek, the potential for encountering
cultural resources would be very low. The existing building is not historic (constructed in 1965) and
therefore, the project would have no impact on any historic resources.

VI. Geology and Soils - Would the project expose people or
structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including
the risk of loss, injury, or death involving:
a) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the
most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map
issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other
X
substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of
Mines and Geology Special Publication 42.
b) Strong seismic ground shaking?

c) Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction?
X
d) Landslides?
X
e) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil?
X
f) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that
would become unstable as a result of the project, and
X
potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral
spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse?
g) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of
the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial
X
risks to life or property?
h) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of
septic tanks or alternative waste water disposal systems
X
where sewers are not available for the disposal of waste
water?
A review of the Town's hazards mapsz indicates that the project site has a moderate shrink-swell
potential, very low potential for liquefaction, moderate potential for fault rupture, and moderate potential
for seismic shaking. Due to the site's relatively level topography, no erosion, slope stability, or debris
flow hazards were identified for the site. The Town's Fault Map indicates that there are no known faults
traversing the site. However, lineation indicative of a potential fault zone is located approximately 400
feet to the northwest of the project site.3
At a minimum, the existing building would be expected to be subject to strong groundshaking during its
design life. However, it should be noted that most of the Bay Area as well as surrounding development
are subject to groundshaking hazards. In order to assess the structural adequacy of the existing building
for earthquake and gravity loads and use as a police substation, the Town retained Hohbach-Lewin, Inc.
(HL), a structural engineering consultant, to evaluate the structural condition of the building. The HL
report indicates that the existing 1965 structure is a cast-in-place concrete shear wall building with
concrete roof slab supported on steel wide flange beams. The roof slab appears to have been intended as a
future second floor. The HL report states that the roof and walls of the main structure form a concrete box
that provides a large amount of resistance to seismic loads. However, the rear wing of the building is
constructed of metal deck with metal stud walls on two sides. Consequently, the rear wing of the building
is more flexible than the main structure and could experience some structural damage in a moderate to
large earthquake. The HL report concludes that the existing structure would be appropriate for its
proposed use as a police substation, and with some minor seismic retrofits would provide good seismic
MaY, 2007 11
INITIAL STUDY - LOS GATOS-MONTE SERENO POLICE SERVICES FACILITY
safety in the event of a moderate to large earthquake. Since the Town proposes to implement all seismic
retrofit recommendations of the HL report, any potentially significant seismic impacts would be reduced
to a less-than-significant level.
The Town will prepare a soil engineering report to address any soil engineering constraints in the areas
proposed for new development. This report will be prepared during the building permit process. Proposed
implementation of recommendations made in this report will reduce any potential soil engineering
constraints to a less-than-significant level.

A Phase One Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) was prepared for the project site by ENGEO, Inc. in
April 20074 and this study is available for review at the Los Gatos Community Development Department.
The ESA included a review of local, state, tribal, and federal environmental records, standard historical
MAY, 2007 12
INITIAL STUDY - LOS GATOS-MONTE SERENO POLICE SERVICES FACILITY
sources, aerial photographs, fire insurance maps, and physical setting sources, as well as a site
reconnaissance. The ESA indicates that the project site was an orchard before being developed in 1957.
The ESA did not find documentation or physical evidence of soil or groundwater impairments associated
with the current or past use of the project site. A review of regulatory databases found no documentation
of hazardous materials violations or discharges on the project site or within the appropriate search
distances that would reasonably be expected to affect the project site. Therefore, the potential for
encountering hazardous materials during project construction would be low.
There was a 4,000-gallon diesel underground storage tank (UST) on the adjacent Verizon property to the
northeast, and this tank was removed in 1993. No contamination was detected beneath the tank, but
contamination was detected where a small diesel spill occurred from the dispensing piping during tank
and piping removal. The contaminated soils were removed and the case was closed by the Santa Clara
Valley Water District in 1995. Subsequently, anew diesel UST was installed just east of the removed
dispensing pipe trench to store diesel for a backup generator associated with the V erizon facility. In 2004,
a 4,000-gallon diesel tank UST, also on the Verizon property, was removed. No contamination was
detected beneath the tank. A Tank Closure Report was submitted by Verizon to the Santa Clara Fire
Protection District, but the District is unable to locate the closure letter.5 However, soil samples done by
the Town of Los Gatos and Verizon did not report any constituents above laboratory detection limits 6
The proposed project would include installation of an emergency generator, which would include a diesel
fuel storage tank, to keep the facility operating during power outages. Safe use of diesel would be
addressed through preparation and implementation of the legally-required hazardous materials business
plan (in accordance with community right-to-know laws) and compliance with the Aboveground
Petroleum Storage Act.

According to the Los Gatos General Plan, the project site is located outside mapped 100-year flood
hazard areas. Approximately 79.5 percent (or 37,750 square feet) of the 1.09-acre project parcel is
covered with the impervious surfaces of the site's building, asphalt parking lot, and driveway. Project
development would result in replacement or reconfiguration of impervious surfaces associated with
proposed driveways, parking, sidewalks, and building area. There, would be no net increase in impervious
surfaces on the project site as a result of the project.
Presently, storm runoff flows on the project site discharge as sheet flow to Camellia Terrace, east of the
property. Camellia Terrace in the project vicinity drains to Lilac Way, and Lilac drains eastward to
Cherry Blossom Lane. Neither Camellia Terrace nor Lilac Way has storm drain facilities. Storm drain
facilities in Cherry Blossom Lane collect runoff from Lilac Way and convey flows to Ross Creek via
facilities in Blossom Hill Road. Since the proposed project would result in a slight reduction of total
impervious surfaces through additional landscape area on the site, storm runoff volumes from the project
site would be reduced and this would be a beneficial impact of the project.
New, more stringent water quality regulations of the Clean Water Act have recently been triggered
because the NPDES (National Pollution Discharge Elimination System) permit program has failed to
protect beneficial uses of Santa Clara County's creeks and the South San Francisco Bay, as evidenced by
such observations as violations of ambient water quality criteria, high concentrations of toxic substances,
and fish consumption health advisories. These new regulations require that all discharges shall comply
with Provision C.3, New and Redevelopment Performance Standards of Order No. 01-024 of the NPDES
permit program.
The project site is located within the Los Gatos Creek watershed and runoff from the site ultimately
discharges into Los Gatos Creek (west of the site) and eventually into the Bay. Los Gatos Creek is on the
Clean Water Act Section 303(d) List of Water Quality Limited Segments due to the presence of diazinon,
a pesticide, and its primary source is identified as urban runoff and storm drains. Best Management
Practices (BMPs) outlined by the Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention Program
MAY, 2007 14
INITIAL STUDY - LOS GATOS-MONTE SERENO POLICE SERVICES FACILITY
(SCVURPPP) for treatment control of pesticides are bioretention, infiltration, and media filter with
adsorption/absorption as the removal process.
During project operation, surface runoff from the site would be expected to carry typical urban pollutants
generated by parking lots, building surfaces, and landscape areas. As a condition of project approval, the
Town will prepare and implement interim and final erosion control plans as well as non-point source
pollution prevention measures such as installation of filtration devices or use of bio-swales.
Implementation of such measures would reduce potential water quality impacts to a less-than-significant
level.
The proposed project would involve removal and replacement of less than 10,000 square feet of
impervious surfaces and thus would not be subject to C.3 requirements. Since the area of disturbance
would involve less than one acre, a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) would not be
required.

IX. Land Use and Planning - Would the project:
-
a) Physically divide an established community?

b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or
regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project
(including, but not limited to the general plan, specific
plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted

X
natural community conservation plan?
The site is currently developed with an existing commercial building, paved parking lot, driveway, and
landscaping. The project parcel is currently designated by the existing General Plan as "CH, Mixed Use
Commercial," while the site is zoned "CH, Restricted Highway Commercial." The CH General Plan
designation allows for "a mixture of retail, office, residential in a mixed use setting, along with lodging,
service, auto related businesses, non-manufacturing industrial uses, recreational uses and restaurants"
The CH zone allows retailing, office, service business, and limited manufacturing uses.
The Town proposes to use the project site as a police substation under a conditional use permit for a
public building providing community services. Section 29.20.180, Conditional Use Permits, of the Los
Gatos Town Code Zoning Regulations states:
"there are uses which can be specified for each zone which, in practically all instances, will be
mutually compatible. In addition, there are other uses which might be compatible with ordinarily
allowed uses if properly located and regulated. These are called conditional uses. They are listed in
Section 29.20.185."
Section 29.20.185 presents a table of conditional uses for all zones identified by the Town's zoning
regulations. Under Item (2)a of the Table, Community Services, a public building for police services is
listed as a conditionally permitted use in all zones but one, RMH (Mobile Home Residential).
MAY, 2007 15
INITIAL STUDY - LOS GATOS-MONTE SERENO POLICE SERVICES FACILITY
Consequently, the proposed police substation would be a conditionally permitted use under the project
site's existing zoning district of CH.
The project vicinity is comprised of a mix of commercial, office, and residential uses. Adjacent parcels to
the south of the project site and to the west across and also fronting on Los Gatos Boulevard are currently
in commercial use; residential development adjoins the project site to the north and east. The existing
police services use would be consistent with this mix of uses (as defined by the Zoning Ordinance),
particularly with the adjacent commercial buildings to the south and west.
In 1997, the Town completed the Los Gatos Boulevard Plan, which presents the Town's vision for the
development of the Los Gatos Boulevard corridor. The Plan provides land use goals and guidelines for
the Los Gatos Boulevard Plan area, which includes the project site. While the Plan does not include
specific direction for land use at the project site, the project proposes to support the Plan's identified land
use goals through: 1) the provision of a dependable source of income, employment, goods, and services,
and 2) encourage a mixture of uses along Los Gatos Boulevard that are compatible with surrounding uses.
The proposed police substation would be consistent with existing commercial uses adjoining the site to
the south and west. The project attempts to minimize adverse impacts on the adjacent residential uses to
the north through a design that retains the existing configuration of access and parking for the proposed
use. While Policy IV.D.6 of the Los Gatos Boulevard Plan applies to new development, the proposed
project attempts to comply with policy through the maintenance of existing access and parking facilities.

Pro-ject Construction. Project construction would result in temporary short-term noise increases due to the
operation of heavy equipment. Construction noise sources range from about 76 to 85 dBA at 50 feet for
most types of construction equipment with slightly higher levels of about 88 to 91 dBA at 50 feet for
certain types of earthmoving and impact equipment. If noise controls are installed on construction
equipment, the noise levels could be reduced by 1 to 16 dBA, depending on the type of equipment. The
potential for construction-related noise increases to adversely affect nearby residential receptors would
depend on the location and proximity of construction activities to these receptors.
The Town Noise Ordinance (Chapter 16) restricts construction activities to the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 8:00
p.m. on weekdays and 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays. This ordinance also limits noise
generation to 85 dBA at the property line or 85 dBA at 25 feet. Since the project involves mostly interior
remodeling of the existing building on the site, exterior construction activities would be limited to the two
new building additions on the southeast portion of the building, installation of an emergency generator
and roof-top air conditioning units, possible exterior architectural enhancements, parking lot/driveway
improvements, and landscape replacement. Such limited exterior construction activities. would be short.in
duration in the portions of the project site closest to adjacent residences to the north and east. Therefore, it
is expected that construction noise impacts on adjacent residences could be maintained at less-than-
significant levels with proper implementation of Town Noise Ordinance restrictions.
Project Operation. A detailed noise study was prepared by Edward L. Pack Associates, Inc. (EPA) in
May 2007, and this report is included as Attachment 2. As part of this study, noise measurements were
taken at the existing northern and eastern property boundaries. Noise measurements indicate that existing
average ambient noise levels adjacent to Oleander Avenue residences to the north (190 feet from the Los
Gatos Boulevard centerline) range between 42 and 60 dBA. Noise levels at Camellia Terrace residences
to the east (at Lilac Way) range between 51 and 69 dBA.
The EPA study estimated potential noise increases associated with proposed police operations based on
measurements taken at the existing police station of: police and public car doors closing, engines starting,
engines idling; operation of walkie talkies; loud detainee; shotgun racking; and police dog barking.
Maximum instantaneous noise levels for each of these noise events ranged from 55 to 90 dBA at
distances ranging between four and 25 feet (see Table II of Attachment 2 for more detail). When these
measured noise levels are adjusted for the estimated distance between these sources and the property
boundaries, estimated maximum noise levels from these sources range from 27 to 69 dBA at the northern
property boundary and 27 and 66 dBA at the eastem property boundary. In addition, noise levels were
estimated for the types and sizes of emergency generator and air conditioning units that are expected to be
used at the site. Adjusting for distance, the emergency generator is estimated to generate noise levels of
53 dBA to 48 dBA at the closest residences to the north and east. Proposed rooftop air conditioners are
MAY, 2007 17
INITIAL STUDY - LOS GATOS-MONTE SERF-NO POLICE SERVICES FACILITY
estimated to generate noise levels of 36 dBA at the nearest residences to the north and 27 dBA at the
nearest residences to the east. When the Los Gatos Noise Ordinance noise limits are applied to the project
site, the ordinance noise limits range between 54 and 70 dBA depending on the time of day and day of the
week. The noise source significance criterion applied in this analysis is the most restrictive, nighttime
limit of 54 dBA because the proposed police operations facility would operate 24 hours per day, seven
days per week. When the project's estimated noise levels are compared to the noise ordinance limits,
maximum noise levels associated with most police activities (including the emergency generator and air
conditioning units) would not exceed ordinance limits except when car doors close or police dogs bark at
night (10 p.m. to 6 a.m.). Maximum noise levels associated with these activities could exceed the
ordinance ll.-rat by 1 to 8 dBA from cars parking in the northern public parking lot (adjacent to the
northern project boundary) and 15 dBA if the canine unit dog barks in the secure parking spaces closest to
the northern project boundary or Camellia Terrace. Residences on Oleander Avenue that would be
affected by such noise are those with rear yards located within 45 feet of the public parking area.
The Town will implement the following measures to achieve compliance with 54-dBA nighttime limit of
the Los Gatos Noise Ordinance and reduce the project's noise impacts to a less-than-significant level:
2. The canine unit dogs will be loaded and unloaded at the staff entry area adjacent to the proposed
sally port. The dogs will be instructed to refrain from barking while on the site.
3. Any potentially unruly detainees will be loaded and unloaded within the proposed sally port.
4. One of the following two alternatives will be implemented to reduce noise_ levels along the northern
project boundary:
a. An 11 foot high acoustically-effective barrier will be constructed along the northern property
boundary (contiguous to Oleander Avenue residences). To control flanking noise, this barrier
will be continued along the easterly boundary for a distance of I5 feet and at a height of 8
feet. The barrier height is in reference to the nearest parking space ground elevation. Barrier
location and height is shown on Figure 1 of Attachment 2.
b. Parking will not be allowed within 50 feet of the northern property boundary between 10 p.m.
and 6 a.m.
5. Both of the following measures will be implemented to reduce noise levels along the eastern property
boundary, adjacent to Camellia Terrace:
a. A solid gate will be constructed across the driveway on Camellia Terrace. The gate may be a
motor-driven rolling type, constructed of wood to match the associated fencing.
b. The Camellia Terrace driveway will be used for emergency (answering calls) only.
The Los Gatos Noise Element also specifies a noise limit of 55 dBA DNL' for residential uses. Based on
noise measurements taken at the northern and eastern project boundaries, the 24-hour, time-weighted
DNL noise level was calculated to be 57 to 58 dBA DNL. Noise levels at Camellia Terrace residences to
the east (at Lilac Way) range between 51 and 69 dBA (Leq) and the 24-hour, time-weighted noise level
was calculated to be 64 dBA DNL. When the above project-related individual noise events are accounted
for over a 24-hour period (based on the proposed personnel levels, shift changes, etc.), the proposed
police services facility is estimated to generate noise levels of approximately 44 dBA DNL at the northern
property boundary and 49 dBA DNL at the eastern property boundary. Since both estimated noise levels
would be substantially less than existing noise levels in both areas, project-related noise would not add to
MAY, 2007 18
INITIAL STUDY - LOS GATOS-MONTE SERENO POLICE SERVICES FACILITY
the existing noise environment. Project-related noise levels also would be within the 55-dBA DNL noise
limit specified in the Los Gatos Noise Element.
Project implementation could result in occasional use of sirens in the project vicinity when patrol cars
respond to emergency calls. At the police department's current location at Town Hall, sirens only need to
be used leaving Town Hall a few times per month. With the proposed facility, responses to most calls
would made by officers that are already out on patrol in the community. If a response to a call is made
from the proposed facility, patrol cars would primarily exit via Los Gatos Boulevard. Vehicles that must
exit via Camellia Terrace would use lights until they reach a major street to the extent feasible, unless
sirens need to be used to ensure public safety. Therefore, use of sirens in the vicinity of the proposed
facility is expected to occur only occasionally and only in emergency situations. Such occasional use of
sirens would not significantly increase existing ambient noise levels, but would likely be audible at any
adjacent residences. Sirens are exempt from the Los Gatos Noise Ordinance. The Town will implement
the following measure to minimize potential noise disturbance at adjacent or nearby residences:
6. Use of sirens will be limited in the adjacent residential neighborhood, particularly at night, unless
absolutely necessary for public safety.

KIT. Population and Housing - Would the project:
a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either
directly (for example, by proposing new homes and
X
businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of
roads or other infrastructure)?
b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing,
necessitating the construction of replacement housing

elsewhere?
c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the
X
construction of replacement housing elsewhere?
The proposed project would not result in an increase in local population. The proposed police services
would occupy an existing building located on the project site. The project would not be. considered
growth-inducing, since the project would involve redevelopment of an existing developed parcel and the
project would not extend roads or infrastructure to any adjacent properties.
XIII. Public Services -
a) Would the project result in substantial adverse physical
impacts associated with the provision of new or physically
altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically
altered governmental facilities, the construction of which
could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to
maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other
performance objectives for any of the public services:

Services are already provided to the project site as well as to adjacent commercial and residential uses. No
significant increase in demand on public services are expected to be required for the proposed building
Since services are already provided to the existing structure on the site. Project implementation would
improve police services by providing needed space for current police operations and holding cells that
meet state code. Existing police operations currently have approximately 5,275 square feet of space at
Town Hall, which was built in 1964 when the Town had a population of 9,000. Based on the current
population in the Town of approximately 30,000 and the range of services provided by the police
department, studies have shown that police operations require approximately 20,000 square feet.
Currently the police dispatch operators are in a multi-purpose location with many distractions. There are
no separate interview rooms for victims and suspects, or separate restrooms for victims, suspects, or staff.
Suspect holding facilities are not in compliance with State Department of Corrections or Fire Code
standards, and there is no secure space to store ammunition or evidence. Parking is inadequate for police
vehicles, employees, and visitors. The proposed project will be subject to formal plan review by the
Santa Clara County Fire Department as part of the Conditional Use Permit review process.
)UV. Recreation -
a) Would the project increase the use of existing
neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational
X
facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the
facility would occur or be accelerated?
b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require
the construction or expansion of recreational facilities,
X
which might have an adverse physical effect on the
environment?
The proposed project would not add new population to the area, and therefore would not increase the
demand for recreational services.
XV. Transportation/Traffic - Would the project:
a) Cause an increase in traffic, which is substantial in relation
to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system
(i.e., result in a substantial increase in either the number of
X
vehicle trips, the volume to capacity ratio on roads, or
congestion at intersections)?
b) Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of
service standard established by the county congestion
X
management agency for designated roads or highways?
c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an
increase in traffic levels or a change in location that results
X
in substantial safety risks?

A detailed traffic study was completed by Kimley-Hom and Associates, Inc. (KHA) in May 2007 and this
report is included as Attachment 3 (report appendices are available for review at the Town Community
Development Department).
Trip Generation. The Town's Traffic Impact Policy (Resolution 1991-174) requires preparation of a
detailed traffic study for any project with the potential to generate 20 or more additional AM or PM peak
hour trips. The KHA study estimated the project's trip generation on weekdays and weekends and
compared them to trip generation levels that could be expected from either a general office building or
retail shopping center. On weekdays, the proposed police services facility would generate 15 trips during "
the AM peak period and 20 trips during the PM peak period. When compared to an office building, the
project would generate 2 more trips during the AM peak period and 7 more trips during the PM peak
period. When compared to a shopping center, the project would be generate 6 more trips during the AM
peak period and 12 fewer trips during the PM peak period.
On weekends, the project would generate 10 trips during the Saturday peak period and 22 trips during off-
peak periods. When compared to an office building, the project would generate 6 more trips during the
Saturday peak period. When compared to a shopping center, the project would be generate 34 fewer trips
during the Saturday peak period.
Intersection Service Level Operation. The KHA. study evaluated the project's impact on the two adjacent
signalized Los Gatos Boulevard intersections at Blossom Hill Road and Chirco Drive. KRA determined
that project-related traffic increases would add the equivalent of approximately 0.1 second of average
delay at both intersections on weekdays. Therefore, the project would have a less-than-significant impact
on surrounding roadway traffic conditions. On weekends, project-related traffic increases on Los Gatos
Boulevard would be the equivalent of less than 0.1 percent of current traffic levels on this road
(approximately 25,000 daily vehicles), which is considered less than significant.
Project Access. There are currently two access driveways to the site: one on Los Gatos Boulevard and one
on Camellia Terrace. The project would maintain the existing driveway on Los Gatos Boulevard at its
current location but it would be widened from approximately 15 feet to 22 feet. The project would
maintain the project driveway on Camellia Terrace at approximately the same location, although some
minor modifications may be required. The driveway on Los Gatos Boulevard would serve as the primary
access for the site, and would be used by personal vehicles of police department staff, patrol vehicles,
public citizen vehicles, and others accessing the site. The site also proposes to install a secure gate on the
Camellia Terrace driveway and it is the intention of the Police Department to primarily use the Los Gatos
MAY, 2007 21
INITIAL STUDY - LOS GATOS-MONTE SERENO POLICE SERVICES FACILITY
Boulevard driveway; the Camellia Terrace driveway access would only be utilized for emergency or
special circumstances.
The access driveway on Los Gatos Boulevard currently operates as a right-turn entry and right-turn exit
only location because there is a landscaped concrete median that prohibits left-turning vehicles from
entering or leaving the Los Gatos Boulevard driveway. Although no change in access is currently
proposed at this driveway, the police department is considering the possibility of creating a cut in the
existing median opposite the project driveway and signing this opening to allow use by emergency
vehicles only. KHA evaluated this possibility and determined that the northbound left-turn bay at the
Frank Avenue/Los Gatos Boulevard intersection may need to be modified to accommodate this median
cut.
It should be noted that there are currently other site access options. Vehicles that exit the site using the
Los Gatos Boulevard driveway and wish to travel south may use the Frank Avenue northbound left-turn
bay and make a U-turn at the intersection to travel southbound. In addition, vehicles that enter the site
from the north may travel slightly past the driveway location and make a U-turn at a southbound left turn
at Placer Oaks Road. These turnaround locations may not be preferred but they do allow for relatively
convenient and legal access (southern U-turn is approximately 500 feet away and northern U-turn is
approximately 150 feet away) with no modifications to the existing roadway geometries. Although these
access conditions may not be ideal for emergency situations, patrol vehicles should be able to activate
their emergency flashers and enter the traffic flow in a timely manner to make these turning movements.
KHA recommends that the Police Department review the frequency of their need for emergency access to
determine the best alternative for an access modification at this location. The need for a dedicated entry
and exit to the proposed police services facility and potential design alternatives will be considered during
the Conditional Use Permit review process.
Since police vehicles would be entering and leaving site driveways to respond to emergency calls,
adequate sight distance and driveway access should be maintained to minimize ensure timely response of
police officers. The following measures will be implemented to maintain access and minimize safety
hazards:
7. At least one vehicle on-street parking space will be removed on the south side of each driveway to
increase sight distance for vehicles entering and exiting the access locations on Los Gatos Boulevard
and Camellia Terrace. A parking space of at least 25 feet will be removed immediately adjacent to
the intersection and the curb painted red to prohibit parking.
8. A "KEEP CLEAR" legend and stop line will be installed on Los Gatos Boulevard and Camellia
Terrace at the project driveway locations to help prevent vehicles from blocking the intersection
during peak traffic periods or other congested conditions.
Parking. The proposed site plan indicates 46 parking spaces are proposed for Police Department staff
(including one handicap accessible space), eight parking spaces are proposed for utility vehicles and
motorcycle parking, and seven public parking spaces (including one handicap accessible parking space).
The 46 vehicle spaces and eight motorcycle spaces are located within a secured parking area that is
accessed via the parking lot located near Los Gatos Boulevard as well as the rear entrance to the property
from Camellia Terrace. A preliminary evaluation of the changing parking demand throughout the day
shows that the available parking spaces in the secured parking area should be sufficient to meet the needs
of the police department. Although the seven public parking spaces is relatively limited, Town staff have
indicated that the proposed police services facility is not intended to be a the primary location for the
public to do business with the Police Department. Therefore, the seven proposed parking spaces are
expected to adequately meet the demand for public parking at the project site.
MAY, 2007 22
INITIAL STUDY - LOS GATOS-MONTE SERENO POLICE SERVICES FACILITY
Pedestrian and Bicycle Access. In general, no pedestrian or bicycle access issues were identified with the
site or its frontage with Los Gatos Boulevard and Camellia Terrace. The Police Department may consider
the installation of a bike rack for its staff who may wish to ride their bike to work. Since the proposed
police services facility is not intended to serve as a primary location for interacting with public citizens it
may not be necessary to provide bike parking for the public. However, if a bike rack is provided for
Police Department staff and it is located near the front entrance to the facility it could accessible to public
citizens as well, but typically it is recommended that these bike racks be located in the most secure areas
to prevent vandalism or theft.

4.0 REVIEW OF ANTICIPATED TREE IMPACTS
The proposed parking lot configuration subjects the following ten trees to removal: #21-
28, 30 and 31. Except for #30, all are Raywood ash that have either died or can be
expected to die in the near future. Tree 430 is a camphor tree that contains significant
branch dieback throughout its canopy. Based on this information, I find their loss will be
insignificant and strongly complies with the Town's Ordinance.
Tree #1 requires removal to achieve the proposed building design. This is a 10.5-inch
diameter southern magnolia that appears in overall good condition. However, recent
damage to the bark has occurred during the demolition work, and consequently, I do not
advise this tree be regarded as suitable enough to relocate. Rather, replacement trees
should be installed to mitigate its loss.
By implementation of the driveway and parking lot reconfiguration, trees #17 and 29 will
sustain root damage. Provided the work is performed according to recommendations
presented in the next section, I expect the impacts will be insignificant.
5.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
The recommendations presented within this section are based on plans reviewed and serve
as guidelines to mitigate impacts to trees being retained and removed. They should be
carefully followed and incorporated into project plans. Please note that they are subject to
revision upon reviewing any additional or revised plans.
5.1 Design Guidelines
1. Each inventoried tree and assigned number should be added to the plans. Additionally,
the five missing trees (see Exhibit B) should be omitted from the plans.
2. The Tree Protection Zone (TPZ) should be regarded as the area that is within a radial
distance from the trunk of ten times its diameter. Within the TPZ, all grading (soil
15900 Los Gatos Boulevard, Los Gatos Page 4 of 9
Town of Los Gatos Community Development Department
David L. Babby, Registered Consulting Arborist May 4, 2007
cuts, fill and finish-grading), trenching, and soil scraping should be avoided to the
maximum extent possible. In areas where this is not feasible, the impacts should be
reviewed to determine whether the proposed work will adversely impact a tree's vigor
and stability.
3. Replacement trees to mitigate the loss of trees removed, shall, pursuant to Section
29.10.0985 of the Town Code, be determined by the Parks and Public Works
Department. All new trees shall be planted prior to final inspection, double-staked
with rubber tree ties, irrigated with an automatic drip or bubbler system placed on the
soil surface and not in a sleeve. Additionally, to achieve the greatest assurance of
proper installation, all new trees shall be installed, including necessary irrigation, by an
experienced state-licensed landscape contractor (or a professional tree company).
4. Per Section 29.10.1000(C.1) of the Ordinance, a copy of this report must be
incorporated into the final set of project plans, titled Sheet(s) T-l, T-2, etc. (Tree
Protection Instructions), and referenced on all site-related plans.
5. The section of new driveway (including the paved surface, curb, gutter, forms and base
materials) within the TPZ's of trees #17 thru 19 should be established entirely on. top of
existing soil grade with no more than a four-inch, vertical soil cut. This should also
apply to any new walkway(s) or planters within a TPZ.
6. All new utilities and services should be routed outside the TPZ's. In the event, this is
not possible, I should be consulted for alternative installation methods.
7. The permanent and temporary drainage design, including downspouts, should not
require water being discharged beneath the trees' canopies.
8. The proposed landscape design should conform to the following guidelines:
a. Installation of plant material within a TPZ should be limited and planted at least
five feet from the trunks of existing trees.
15900 Los Gatos Boulevard, Los Gatos Page 5 of 9
Town of Los Gatos Community Develop7nentDepartment
David L. Babby, Registered Consulting Arborist May 4, 2007
b. Irrigation should not spray within three feet from the trunks of existing trees and
not be in contact with the trunks of new trees.
c. In the event trenches for irrigation and/or lighting are required within a TPZ, they
shall be installed in a radial direction to the tree's trunk. If irrigation trenches
cannot be routed as such, the work may need to be performed using a pneumatic air
device, such as an Air-SpadeOO, to avoid unnecessary root damage.
d. Stones, mulch and fencing should not be placed against the tree's trunk. Plastic
ground cover, tilling and bender board should also be avoided within a TPZ.
9. To achieve the greatest assurance of proper installation, all new trees shall be installed,
including necessary irrigation, by an experienced and knowledgeable state-licensed
landscape contractor. The work shall be performed to professional industry standards.
5.2 Protection Measures before and during Development
10. Prior to site demolition and clearing, an on-site, pre-construction meeting should be
held between the project arborist3 and contractor. The intent is to review trees being
removed, procedures for digging beneath or near TPZs, protection fencing locations,
staging areas, routes of access, cleanout pits, possible mulching, supplemental
watering, demolition work, and any other required protection measures. All approved
tree removals should be marked with paint (such as by an 'W') prior to this meeting.
11. Tree protective fencing shall be installed prior to any demolition or construction (I
suggest it be installed prior to any further demolition work at the site). Its placement
and materials should be prescribed and authorized by the project arborist, an be in
conformance with Section 29.10.1005 of the Ordinance. The fencing must be
maintained throughout development and at no time should it be opened or relocated
without direct authorization by the project arborist.
The "project arborist" refers to me or another individual that is certified by the International Society of
Arboriculture (ISA) and/or is a member of the American Society of Consulting Arborists.

12. Unless otherwise approved, all construction activities must be conducted outside the
designated-fenced areas (even after fencing is removed), to include, but not limited to,
the following: demolition, stripping of topsoil, trenching, equipment cleaning,
stockpiling/dumping of materials, and equipment/vehicle operation and parking.
Additionally, signs, wires or other objects should not be attached to the trunks.
13. The following shall be displayed on 8.5- by 11-inch signs (minimum) and attached to
the fencing every 50 feet on the side facing construction activities: "WARNING -
TREE PROTECTIVE ZONE - this fence shall not be removed. Violators are subject
to a penalty according to Town Code 29.10.1025." These signs should be posted
congruently with the installation of fencing.
14. The project arborist should also be informed of and, if necessary, monitor development
activities authorized within a TPZ. Unless otherwise approved by the arborist, all work
within a TPZ shall be manually performed (e.g. shovels and wheelbarrows) without the
use of heavy equipment or tractors.
15. Horizontal soil cuts (i.e. overcut) should not exceed 12 inches beyond the inside edge
of future curb proposed within tree #17's TPZ. Horizontal soil cuts should also be
avoided where the future curb will replace an existing curb within a TPZ.
16. Roots encountered with diameters of two .inches and greater should be retained,
protected, and reported to the project arborist. The retention or removal of these roots
will be at the discretion of the arborist. As a guideline, roots encountered at this size
should be retained and, if necessary, tunneled beneath during trenching. Roots
requiring removal with diameters smaller than this must be cleanly severed against the
side of the soil cut or trench closest to the nearest trunk.
17. All existing, unused lines or pipes beneath the canopies of retained trees should be
abandoned and cut off at existing soil grade (versus being dug up and causing
subsequent root damage).

18. The removal of hardscape within and near a TPZ should be performed in a manner that
avoids excavating soil and roots during the process. All equipment used to perform the
work should. remain off unpaved areas beneath tree canopies. In the event that removal
of any hardscape exposes roots exploiting the existing base course material, the base
course should remain in place.
19. Great care must be taken by equipment operators to position their equipment to avoid
the trunks and branches of trees. Where a conflict exists, pruning should occur to
avoid damage from occurring.
20. The post locations of new fencing installed within a TPZ should be first reviewed by
the project arborist prior to digging. A post-hole digger should be used for digging the
first three feet below grade. In the event a root of two inches and greater in diameter is
encountered during the process, the hole(s) shall be resituated.
21. Recommendations that are presented within Section 5.1 of this report and pertain to
implementing the project plans should also be followed.
22. Throughout construction during the months of May thru October (or as deemed by the
project arborist), supplemental water shall be supplied to the retained trees. The
methodology, frequency and amounts shall be prescribed by the project arborist.
23. The pruning and removal of trees shall be performed per ISA standards and by a
licensed tree service company that has an ISA Certified Arborist in a supervisory role.
All pruning work shall be performed under direction of the project arborist.
24. Any stump being removed within a TPZ shall occur using a stump grinder rather than
being pulled up with an excavator or backhoe. This work can be performed by the tree
service company performing the removals.

25. Great care must be taken by equipment operators to position their equipment to avoid
the trunks and branches of trees. Where a conflict exists, the project arborist should be
advised to provide a feasible solution.
26. The disposal of harmful products (such as chemicals, oil and gasoline) is prohibited
beneath canopies or anywhere on site that allows drainage beneath or near canopies.
Herbicides should not be used beneath the trees' canopies; where used on site, they
should be labeled for safe use near trees.

SLth)ect: Noise Assessment Study for the Planned Los Gatos Police Operations
Ruildlm . Los Uatos Boulevard. Los Gatos
Dear tMr. Banks:
This report presents the results of' a noise assessment study for the planned Police
Operations Buildings along Los Gatos Boulevard in Los Gatos. as shown on the Site Plan,
Rcf. {a). The project-~,enerated noise exposures were evaluated against the standards of
the Town of Los Ciatos Noise Element, Ref. {b). The project-generated (short-terns
maximum) noise levels were evaluated atizainst the standards of the Tovvn of Lm Gatos
Noise Ordinance, Ref. (c). The results of the analysis reveal that project- e11cratod noiSC:
eXPOSUI-CS (24-hour average) will be in compliance with the standards. Short-term
ntaximum noise levels From cars parking in the public parking= strip at the north end of the
site cn 'I the canine unit dog barks outside of the Police Station building, exceedances of
the Noise Ordinance will occur, Nlilioation measures will be required.
Aural vv°arning devices. such as sirens. air horns. alarms, ctc.. are exempt 1roin the
requirements of the Noise Ordinance.
Sections I and 11 of this report contain a summary of our findings and recommendations.
rc,pectively. Subsequent sections contain site and project descriptions, analyses and
cv°aluations. Appendices A. B and C, attached. contain the list of references. descriptions
of the standards. definitions of the terminology. descriptions Of the acoustical
m,trumentaiion used for the field survey. and the noise measurement data and calculation
rahles.
MEMBER' ACOUSTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA NATIONAL COUNCIL OF ACOUSTICAL CONSULTANTS
I. Summam- of Findings
The findings presented below were evaluated aipinst the standards of the To"m of'
l,os Ciatos Noise Element. which utilizes the Day-Niaht Level (DNL) noise descriptor to
define acceptable noise exposures lior noise sensitive laid rises- The DNI._ is a 24-hour
time-weighted average descriptor commonly used to describe community noise
C11 ironmetits. The standards specify a limit of » decibels (dB) T)NIL at residential land
tlsc:s.
Note that noise eXposures reported in ternzs of dB DivL used by the Noise
Clement and short-term noise levels reported in terms of dBA used by the Noise
Ordinance are dramatically different and must not he confused.
'1'1)c *1-0»vn of Los Gatos Noise Ordinance limits noise by both the noise level in
relation to the background noise level and by the time of- day. The Noise Ordinance
CMIMins a series of' maps .vith zones of' various background noise levels over three
separate time periods throughout the 24-hour day. The periods are divided into 6:00 a.m.
to 1:0() p.m. (morning), 1:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. (daytime) and 10.00 p_m. to 0:00 a.m.
(ni(.?littime). The backgound noise levels fir the planned pro..ect location are: 60 dBA
(morning). 6_ dBA (daytime) and 51 dBA (nighttime). The Noise. Ordinance limits noise
from a commercial use to 9 dB above the background or ambient noise level. I Iowever.
For weekends and holidays. the noise limits are reduced by 6 dB. Thus, the noise limits
imposed, on the Police Station use are shown below,

Because the Police Station is planned for 24-hour operation. 7 days a Nveek. the
most restrictive limits ripply. Hie limit of' 54 dBA is used as the noise source design
criterion for the residenual uses adjacent to and nearby the proposed project.
A. ExistinZ Noise Environment
There are t~-vo noise sensitive receptor locations in the vicinity of the planned
Police Station. Location I is the residential uses Adjacent to the north of the site Na'hich
are alon<- Oleander Court. Location 2 i5 the residences on the east side of Camellia
Terrace to the east of the site.
The noise exposures and noise levels sho-%rn below represent the noise
environment under existin-; pre-project conditions.
• The eristinu ambient noise exposure at the north property line of
the site contiguous Laith the Oleander Court residences are as low
, - dl. UN I...
-is
• The existing ambient noise exposure at the residential property line
it) the east of the site contiguous 4l•'Itll the. Camellia Terrace
residences are as io,,v as 62 dB DNL.
[.uniting the project-generated noise- exposure to >j dB DNL would result is no
tii,g niticant increase in the existing noise environment at the residences in the vicinity of
the proposed Police Station
I1ie existing average ambient noise levels at the north property line range from
42_7 to -9.8 dBA born Friday to Saturday, from 41.9 to 59.0 from Saturday to Sunday
Lind from 41.5 to 60? From Sunday to Nlonday.
The existing average ambient noise levels at the Camellia Terrace residences
ran,c (YOr i 2.4 to 69.2 dBA from Friday to Saturday, from 52.2 to-63.0 from Saturday to
Sundae and from 51.4 to 6=4.9 From Sunday to Monday.
The maximum noise limit of 54 dBA prescribed by the Noise Ordinance is
?pPropriate for the existing noise environment.
-=1-
B. Project-Generated Noise Exposures (DNL)
• The project-generated noise exposure (under an assumed 4vorst-
case. condition) at the most impacted residential property line to the
north of the planned tacility (Oleander Court residences) will be 44
1113 DNL <tnd will he within the 55 dB Dill. tinlit of* the To%vn of
Los Glutos Noise Element. The proposed project will not add to the
existing noise environment.
• The project-~~enerated noise exposure at the most impacted
residences calona Camellia 't'errace (under an assumed worst-case
scenario) will be 49 d13 DNL Thus. the noise exposure will be
within the 55 dT3 DNI, limit of the 'd'own of Los Gatos Noise
t;lcment standards and ~afill be substantially below the existing
Eloise exposures. The project will not add to the existin7 noise
environment.
C. Proiect-Generated Noise Levels (dBA)
Table 11 on the following page provides the project-enerated maximarn noise
lk vck at the most impacted residences to the north of'the project along Oleander Cou!-t
and at the most impacted residences alone C.'alnellia 'T'en-ace to the east. The noise levels
reportcd for the Camellia Terrace residences include the effect of a solid gate across the
Camellia 't'errace driveway to the project site. The noise excesses are shovoi in Bold.

As noise level excesses are likely to occur. mitigation measures will he required.
Fhe recommended pleasures are described in Section If, below.
11. Recomlmendations
To achieve; compliance With the 54 dBA nighttime limit of the Town of Los Gatos
Noise Ordiil<inec. the folowina noise initioation lrteasures are recon-)rncnded:
• Load and unload the: canine unit clog, at the staff entry area
adjacent to the sally port. Instruct the dogs to refrain frolll barking
while on the site.
• load and unload any potentially unruly detainees within the Sally
Port.
• l.lnlit the use of sirens in. the residential areas. particularly at im-flit.
unless absolutely necessary for public safety.
North Property Line Noise
Implement one of the tvio alternatives:
I) ConStRICt an 1 I ft. high acoustically-effective harrier along the
norf.h property line of the site contiguous with the Oleander Court
homes. '1'o control flanking noise, continue the barrier along the
easterly boundary for a distance of 15 ft. and at a height of' ft.
The barrier height is in reference to the nearest parking space
=round elevation. Please see 1=i<gure 1 f01- the location and height of

2) Disallow,? parking within 50 ft. of the north property line bct,,veen
10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.
Noise Impacts to Camellia Terrace Residences
• Construct a solid gate across the drive\-way to Camellia Terrace.
The agate may he a motor driven rolling type. The ,ate may he
constructed ol'wood to match the associated fcncino
• Use the Camellia Terrace driveway ('or emergency use tanswerin(y
calls) only.
l'o achieve an acoustically-Cffective barrier, it must be constructed air-tight. i.e..
Vj ithoat cracks. gaps or other openings. and must provide fOT Ions,-term durability.
Barriers can be constructed of masonry. wood_ Stucco. concrete. metal or a contbinatioln
thereof and must have at minimum surface. Nveight of 4.0 lbs. per sq. ft. If' wood.
construction is used. homogeneous sheet materials are preferable to conventional wood
fencinu. as the latter has a tendency to warp and forme openings with age. However, hi,,It
quality air-ti~,ht tongue-and-roove, heard and batten or shiplap construction can be used.
:111 Connections ,vith posts or pilasters must be scaled air-tight and no openings are
permitted bet\veen tine upper hZ.u-Fier components and the ground.
The implementation of the above re:conlmended measures will reduce project-
i_-cnerated noise to comply with the standards of the To«m of'Lois Gatos Noise Ordinance
and Noise L;Icnn~nt.
Ill. Site and Project Descriptions
The planned project site is an L-shaped parcel located alo.n<` Los Gatos Boulevard
bcnween Farlev Road and Blossom Hill Load and presently contains a Verizon Wireless
tactility. A portion of-the Verizon building that is now on the subject project site-is being
demolished. The site is relatjvely flat and at-grade with the adjacent land uses and
roadtivays. A 6 ft. high masonry wall is located on the north property line.
-8-
Surroundl.nto land uses include: sin-le-Family residential adjacent to the north
(i )lcander Court), single-Family across Camellia 'I'mace to the east. a retail shoppi ::1
center adjacent to the south and Los C.iatos Boulevard adjacent to the west. 't'he:: Vernon
Wireless buildina v,--ill remain on the situ that is on the northeast corner of' the larder
parcel(s) that contain the Verizon building and the planned Police Station.
The planned project includes the construction of a Police Services Operation
center to serve the Los Gatos/Monte Sereno areas. The Police Station building will be
located at the southwest corner of the site. Secured police parkin, will be alom, Camellia
Terrace and along the easterly boundary corlti,-uous with the Verizon site. Public parking
will be located along the north property line. An emergency generator is planned for an
area of the parking lo.t near the southwest corner of the Verizon property. The main
drivewav to the site will he off' of Los Gatos Boulevard with a secondary access off of'
Camellia Terrace. The Police Station is planned ror?4-hour operation.
IV. Analysis of the Noise Levels
A. Existing Ambient Noise Levels
'To determine the existing noise exposures at the site. continuous recordinos of the
sound levels \vc^re Evade at two locations. Locatioh 1 was alone the north property line of`
tltL Site contiguotls with the closest residence on Oleander Court_ approximately 190 :ft.
from the centerline of Los Cuts Boulevard. This location represents the residential area
with the lov.,cst amhlent Sound levels but that will be most noise impacted From the
pri.jcct. I...ocation ' was at the sidewalk on the east side of Camellia "Terrace at the north
corner of Lilac Way. This location is representative of the exisung noise environment on
the cast side of'Cwi-iellia 't'errace near the project site and vvas also chosen for security of
the sound measuring equipment. "Tlte noise measurements were made on April 6-9_ 2007-
1-()r a total of 72 hours zit each location. This period includes] Friday, Saturday. Sunday
and onday and was also Easter weekend. It is assured that this particular weekend
would represent the approximate lowest sound environment that would occur in the area.
The noise levels were recorded and processed using Larson-Davis LDL 512
Precision Intcaratini7 Sound Level Meters. The meters yield, by direct readout, a series of
descriptors Ol'the sound levels versus time. as described in Appendix I3, and included the
1.•. 1..g. Ly. and 1..5n. i.e.. those levels exceeded Cor 2%. 9%. 25°. anal 50".%0 oFthe time.

iil the data table in Appendix C.
As shown in the tabics, the Lq, at measurement Location I on Friday-Saturday
ran`ued From 57.4 to 69.2 dBA during the daytime and from 5,"21_ to 50.9 dBA at night.
OR Stlturday to Stnlday, the L«q's ranged from 56.9 to 63.0 dBA du.rin-g the daytime and
from 52.1_ to 55.6 LIBA at night. On Sunday to Monday, the L,I's nan,,ed from X7.1 to
64.() c113A during the davtimc and from > 1.4 to 61.7 dRA at night.
The L r s at measurement Location ? on Friday Saturday ranged front 52.7 to 59.8

night. ()Il SLIndaL' to Monday, the ranged from 51.2 to 60.2 dl: A during the daytittie
and from 41.5 to 5.f) d13A at night.
13- Proicet-Generated Noise Levels
To determine the levels of noise created by the various sources associated with the
planned project, as litited in 'T'able 11, noise level ineasuremcnts were performed on April
17, 2007 at the I.os Ciatos Town hall police station. Orl police car was staged in the
parkin=g, lot and the o icer etas instructed to start the enoinz_ idle the engine- close the
door. perlorm shotgun racking. operate the siren and air horn and operate a Nvalkie-talkie.
A second person was InstrLlcted to act as an unruly and loud detainee being taken out of
the police car. In addition- the canine arrived and the do,, vv-as instructed to hark.
The sound level measurements were made usin-, a Larson Davis 2900 Real 'T'ime
Anatvzer. which measures sound levels in real time Over 1/3-octave frequency bands.
The results ofthe m easurcments are sho«m in Table 11.
-10-
Althouoh the project building has not yet been designed in detail, information
regarding the emergence generator and roof-top air-conditioners was provided by the
'1 o vol cif' Los Gatos_ Rcf. (d) . The emergency ocnerator is likely to be a Generac Q'1'10
~,-ith a sound rating, of 75 dBA at 7 meters (23 lt.). At the nearest residences to the north.
170 it. from, the emor--ancv generator. the sound level reduces to > dBA. At the nearest
residences to the east. 230 it. From tl1.c emergency "cncrator, the sound level reduces to 48
dBA. Thus. the emergency generator noise emission levels will be ..within the -54 dBA
llnlit tol the 10%vn of Los Uaios Noise Ordinance.
No detailed information was available re~,~ardingo the roof=top air-conditioners,
however. it 1s assumed that two small package unit might be installed. The building, in its
ctttirety wiould require approximately 17 tons of cot ling. we are using, for the purposes of
1111s stud-'. that tWO 54011 units would he installed. An average sound. level for a -ton
condensing, unit is 7-5 dB ol'A-weigghted sound power. At a reference distance of' 10 ft--
the sound level is 5? dBA. Two units located close to each other in relation to the
receptor locations ,would generate a sound level of Ali dBA at 10 ft. At the nearest
residences to the north. 130 It. from a likely roof-top position. the two air-conditiotler
SOUIld levels reduce to 30 dBA. At the nearest residences to the cast, 340 ft. From a likely
rcxOl-top position, the two air-conditioner sound levels reduce to 27 dBA. Thus. the roof-
top air-conditioner sound lcve;ls will he Nvithin the 54 dBA limit of the To\vn of Los
t latos Noise Ordinance.
Note that a 20-ton package air-conditioner is estimated to he approximately 10 dB
louder than the two 5-ton units. Thus_ a 20-ton roof-top unit is estimated to also be
v,ithin the limits ofthe Town of Los Gatos Noise Ordinance.
V. Evaluations of the Noise Exposures

B. Proiect-Cenerated Noise .Exposures
The project-4generated noise exposures are fLlnction not only ofthe level oi*noise.
but of the duration of the noise anti the 6111C of accun-ence. Because precise operational
;111,ormauon regarding, the numbers of'vehicles uoin« in and out 01' the parkin, tlreas and
the tinge; and durations elf mechanical ciluipment operation is Unknown. worst-case
scenarios were dCVClopCd. to determine the maxinlunl potential noise exposures at the
residential receptor locations. These scenarios %were developed from Police Department
operational information provided by the Town of Los Gatos. Ref. (c). It is likely that the
intensity of the project will be much less than described in this section.
-12-
The scenario for the north property line consists o172 cars per hours parlcino in thr.
public perking area bete,,-een 6:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. A total of 4 cars is expected

Noise Standards, Terminology, Instrumentation,
Noise Standards
A. Town of Los Gatos Noise Element Standards
The Noise Element to the General Plan of the Town of Los Gatos specifies an
exterior noise exposure standard of 55 dB Day-Night Level (DNL) for residential and
hospital land use. Commercial and industrial uses are limited to a maximum Leq of 70
dBA. Schools and developed parks are limited to 55 dBA Leq and passive parks are
limited to 50 dBA Leq.
2. Terminology
A. Statistical Noise Levels
Due to the fluctuating character of urban traffic noise, statistical procedures are
needed to provide an adequate description of the environment. A series of statistical .
descriptors have been developed which represent the noise levels exceeded a given
percentage of the time. These descriptors are obtained by direct readout of the Sound
Level Meters and Noise Analyzers. Some of the statistical levels used to describe
community noise are defined as follows:
L1 - A noise level exceeded for 1% of the time.
Lio - A noise level exceeded for 10% of the time, considered to be an
"intrusive" level.
L50 - The noise level exceeded 50% of the time representing an
"average" sound level.
L9o - The noise level exceeded 90 % of the time, designated as a
"background" noise level.
B-1
Leq - The continuous equivalent-energy level is that level of a steady-
state noise having the same sound energy as a given time-varying
noise. The Leq represents the decibel level of the time-averaged
value of sound energy or sound pressure squared and is used to
calculate the DNL and CNEL.
B. Day-Nitzht Level MNLI
Noise levels utilized in the standards are described in terms of the Day-Night
Level (DNL). The DNL rating is determined by the cumulative noise exposures
occurring over a 24-hour day in terms of A-Weighted sound energy. The 24-hour day is
divided into two subperiods for the DNL index, i.e., the daytime period from 7:00 a.m. to
10:00 p.m., and the nighttime period from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. A 10 dBA weighting
factor is applied (added) to the noise levels occurring during the nighttime period to
account for the greater sensitivity of people to noise during these hours. The DNL is
calculated from the measured Leq in accordance with the following mathematical
formula:
DNL = [(Ld+101og1015) & (Ln+10+101og109)] - l0log1024
Where:
Ld = Leq for the daytime (7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.)
Ln = Leq for the nighttime (10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.)
24 indicates the 24-hour period
& denotes decibel addition.
C. A-Weighted Sound Level
The decibel measure of the sound level utilizing the "A" weighted network of a
sound level meter is referred to as "dBA". The "A" weighting is the accepted standard
weighting system used when noise is measured and recorded for the purpose of
determining total noise levels and conducting statistical analyses of the environment so
that the output correlates well with the response of the human ear.
B-2
3. Instrumentation
The on-site field measurement data were acquired by the use of one or more of
the sound analyzer listed below. The instrumentation provides a direct readout of the L
exceedance statistical levels including the equivalent-energy level (Leq). Input to the
meters were provided by microphones extended to a height of 5 ft. above the ground.
The "A" weighting network and the "Fast" response setting of the meters were used in
confonnance with the applicable standards. The Larson-Davis meters were factory
modified to conform with the Type 1 performance standards of ANSI S I A. All
instrumentation was acoustically calibrated before and after field tests to assure accuracy.

Re: Traffic Evaluation for new Los Gatos Police Services Building
Dear Mr. Banks:
Thank you for. inviting Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (K.imley-Horn) to perform traffic and
transportation services in conjunction with the proposed new Town of Los Gatos Police Department
Facility. The new Police Department facility is proposed to be located at 15900 Los Gatos Boulevard in
Los Gatos, California, as shown in Figure 1. The building is currently being evaluated to determine if the
Town will purchase the facility for Police Department operations. If the Town purchases the building, the
existing 8,645 square foot building will be expanded to 10,765 square feet and is expected to contain police
services focused on patrol functions, some office uses, and a property storage facility. This letter reports
the findings of our evaluation of the traffic and transportation effects of the proposed project, including an
evaluation of the existing and existing plus project traffic conditions and any necessary mitigation at or
near the proposed site location.

ASSUMPTIONS AND METHODOLOGY
The existing site contains two main structures operated by Verizon, a switching station and an office
building. The site is proposed to be subdivided to retain the Verizon switching station but sell the existing
office building to another tenant. As part of this change, some of the existing site parking layout,
landscaping, and more will be modified based on the new property tenant. The Town of Los Gatos
requested that Kimley-Horn evaluate the existing office building using the following three alternatives as a
future land use.
Retain the existing building as a general office building (8,645 square feet)
Renovate the existing building to contain retail uses (8,645 square feet)
Renovate and expand the existing building to be used as a Los Gatos Police Services Building
(10,765 square feet)
Trip generation for development projects is typically based on rates contained in the Institute of
Transportation Engineer's publication Trip Generation, 7th Edition'. This is a standard reference used by
jurisdictions throughout the country and is based on trip generation studies in numerous locations and
represents various populations.
A trip is defined in Trip Generation as a single or one-directional vehicle movement with either the origin
or destination at the project site. In other words, a trip can be either "to" or "from" the site. Therefore, a
single visit to a site is counted as two trips (i.e_ one to and one from the site). For purposes of determining
the worst-case impacts of traffic on the surrounding street network, the trips generated by a proposed
development are typically estimated on a weekday between the hours of 7:00-9:00 AM and 4:00-6:00 PM.
While the project itself may generate more traffic during some other time of the day such as around noon,
the peak of "adjacent street traffic" represents the time period when the development contributes to the
greatest amount of congestion and potential mitigation, with the PM peak commonly being the greatest
congestion period.
Trip generation rates for the office and retail alternatives were based on ITE Land Use Codes 710 (General
Office) and 820 (Shopping Center) to estimate the traffic volumes related to the respective land uses
proposed for the site.
Often with a new development a certain amount of trips to the site are vehicle trips that are already on the
road and will choose to stop as they "pass-by" the site. These vehicle trips are not new vehicle trips but are
considered to be pass-by trips. Due to the nature of the office land use, no pass-by trips are expected and
therefore no pass-by trip reduction was applied to the project trip generation. In addition, the shopping
center land use does permit a pass-by reduction but this was not included in the evaluation to provide a
conservative approach of the traffic generation.
ITE Trip Generation does not include a land use for police facilities. Therefore local information provided
by the Los Gatos Police Department and Town Staff was used to determine the likely trip generation for the
police facility.

As noted in Table 1, the Police Services Building will be served by an Operations Captain, Patrol
Sergeant, Administrative Sergeant, Evidence Technician, Community Service Officer, and patrol officers
that serve on three shifts during a typical Monday-Friday work schedule. The trip generation approach
assumes that police staff at the services building leaves once during their work day and that patrol officers
return to the police services building an average of one time during each shift. Therefore, a conservative
approach was taken to the traffic generation for the patrol officers and it was assumed that all officers
arrive or depart during the citywide traffic peak hours if their shift started or ended near these periods and
that one-third of the officers serving on each shift also returned during the peak hour. For example, during
the weekday day shift six patrol officers are expected to arrive in their patrol vehicles during the PM peak
period and six personal vehicles will exit the police services building. As noted, this approach results in a
worst-case traffic projection for the proposed police services building.

As shown in Table 1, the Police Services Building is expected to generate 15 vehicular trips during the
weekday AM peak period and 20 vehicular trips during the PM peak period. In comparison to a possible
future Shopping Center land use, the Police Services Building generates an additional 6 trips during the
AM peak period and 12 fewer velcular trips during the PM peak period. Comparing the existing General
Office land use with the proposed Police Service Building shows that the Police Services Building is
expected to generate 2 additional trips during the AM peak period and 7 additional trips during the PM
peak period. These additional trips are were found to add the equivalent of approximately 0.1 second of
average delay to the two adjacent traffic signals at the intersections of Blossom Hill Road and Chirco Drive
with Los Gatos Boulevard, and thus have a less than significant effect on the surrounding roadway traffic
conditions. Additional information concerning the intersection delay calculation using the Synchro 6
software is included in the Appendix.
In addition to the weekday trip generation analysis, the effects of a proposed new development on the site
were studied on the weekend as well. A weekend study of traffic generation is not typically conducted
because the vehicular traffic volume of the adjacent roadways is generally lower than during weekday peak
periods except near unique generators such as shopping malls and other high density retail or entertainment
facilities. However, a trip generation evaluation was conducted for the proposed land uses based on the
operations of the Police Services Building during the weekend. Trip generation was performed for a typical
Saturday since the traffic expected at each of the studied land uses as well as on the surrounding roadways
is typically greater on Saturday than Sunday. Table 2 summarizes the results of the Saturday trip
generation for the office and shopping center land uses, as well as the project traffic generation for the new
Police Services Building.

As shown in Table 1, the Police Services Building is expected to generate 10 and 22 vehicular trips during
the Saturday peak and off-peak periods, respectively. In comparison to the possible future Shopping
Center land use, the Police Services Building generates 34 less trips during the Saturday peak period.
Comparing the existing General Office land use with the proposed Police Services Building shows that the
Police Services Building is expected to generate an additional 6 trips during the Saturday peak period.
These additional trips are anticipated to have a less than significant effect on the surrounding roadway
traffic conditions, due to the lower traffic volume during weekend travel conditions on Los Gatos
Boulevard. Saturday traffic volumes on Los Gatos Boulevard were measured in the Fall of 2005 to be
approximately 25,000 daily vehicles. The trips generated by the Police Services Building are equivalent to
an addition of less than 0.1 percent to the roadway, a level considered less than significant. Additional
information concerning the vehicular daily traffic volumes is included in the Appendix.

SITE ACCESS AND CIRCULATION FINDINGS
Kimley-Horn conducted a field review of the project site to determine if there may be any site access or
circulation issues related to the proposed Police Services Building. Kimley-Horn utilized observations
made during the field review in union with the latest available site plane for the Police Services Building to
make the following recommendations related to site access and circulation. Figure 2 shows a photographic
aerial of the site and surrounding area.
Site Access
The current site plan shows two access driveways to the site, as shown in Figure 3. The main access drive
is located on Los Gatos Boulevard and will serve as the primary access for the site, including personal
vehicles of police department staff, patrol vehicles, public citizen vehicles, and other accessing the site.
The site also has a secured gate access from Camellia Terrace at the rear of the property. It is understood
that the intention of the police department is to primarily use the Los Gatos Boulevard driveway and that
the Camellia Terrace access will be utilized in only emergency or special circumstances.

The access driveway on Los Gatos Boulevard currently operates as a right-turn entry and right-turn exit
only location. There is currently a landscaped concrete median of approximately 14 feet in width
prohibiting left-turning vehicles entry or exit from the Los Gatos Boulevard driveway. The police
department requested a preliminary analysis be performed to determine if a change could be made to this
access location to allow left-turning vehicles entry and exit from Los Gatos Boulevard, especially to police
patrol vehicles in emergency conditions. The current constraint to reconfiguring this access location is due
to a northbound left turn bay at the Frank Avenue/Los Gatos Boulevard intersection. The northbound left
turn bay begins its taper approximately perpendicular to the driveway location and permitting additional
access to this driveway may require the modification of the Frank Avenue northbound left turn bay. The
Police Department should review the frequency of then- need for emergency access to determine the best
alternative for an access modification at this location. One of the most likely alternatives would include a
simple cut in the existing median and installation of regulatory signs to allow emergency vehicles only to
use the new access location. The second alternative. would be the installation of a full "emergency
intersection" including a median cut, the modification of the northbound left turn bay accessing Frank
Avenue, and appropriate warning devices such as yellow flashing beacons.

Although a dedicated entry and exit to the Police Services Building. may be preferable for police services,
there are alternate existing locations to access the Police Services Building site. Vehicles that exit the site
using the Los Gatos Boulevard driveway and wish to travel south may use the Frank Avenue northbound
left turn bay and make a U-turn at the intersection to travel southbound. In addition, vehicles that enter the
site from the north may travel slightly past the driveway location and make a U-turn at a southbound left
turn at Placer Oaks Road These turn around locations may not be preferred but they do allow for relative
convenient and legal access (southern U-turn is approximately 500 feet away and northern U-turn is
approximately 150 feet away) and they permit occupancy of the Police Services Building without
modifications to the existing roadway geometries. Although these access conditions may not be ideal for
emergency situations, patrol vehicles should be able to activate their emergency flashers and enter the
traffic flow in a timely manner to make these turning movements.
Parkin
The most recent site plan shows a total supply of 46 parking spaces for Police Department staff (including
1 handicap accessible space), 8 parking spaces for utility vehicles and motorcycle parking, and 7 public
parking spaces (including 1 handicap accessible parking space). The 46 vehicle spaces and 8 motorcycle
spaces are located within a secured parking area that is accessed via the parking lot located near Los Gatos
Boulevard as well as the rear entrance to the property from Camellia Terrace. A preliminary evaluation of
the changing parking demand throughout the day shows that the available parking spaces in the secured
parking area should be sufficient for the needs of the police department. In addition, although the 7 public
parking spaces is relatively limited, conversations with Town staff have noted that the proposed Police
Services Building is not intended to be a the primary location for the public to do business with the Police
Department. Therefore, the 7 parking spaces are anticipated to adequately meet the demand for public
parking at the Police Services Building.
It is recommended that at least one vehicle on-street vehicular parking space be removed to increase sight
distance for vehicles entering and exiting the access locations on Los Gatos Boulevard and Camellia
Terrace. A parking space of at least 25 feet should be removed immediately adjacent to the intersection
and the curb painted red to prohibit parking.
In addition, due to the emergency services nature of Police Services blocking any access location could
prohibit the timely response of police officers. Therefore, it is recommended that the Town install a
"KEEP CLEAR" legend and stop line at the driveway locations to help prevent vehicles from blocking the
intersection during peak traffic periods or other unknown conditions.
Pedestrian and Bicvcle Access
in general, no pedestrian or bicycle access issues were identified with the site or its frontage with Los Gatos
Boulevard and Camellia Terrace. The Police Department may consider the installation of a .bike rack for
its staff who may wish to ride their bike to work. Since this Police Services Building is not intended to
serve as a primary location for interacting with public citizens it may not be necessary to provide bike
parking for the public. However, if a bike rack is provided for Police Department staff and it is located
near the front entrance to the facility it could accessible to public citizens as well but typically it is
recommended that these bike racks be located in the most secure areas to prevent vandalism or theft.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Kimley-Horn traffic evaluation for the Los Gatos Police Services Building Based included the analysis
of additional traffic generation, site access and circulation, parking conditions, and pedestrian and bicycle
access. A summary of the keys findings and recommendations held herein is included below:
1. Comparing the existing General Office land use with the proposed Police Service Building shows
that the Police Services Building is expected to generate 2 additional trips during the AM peak
period and 7 additional trips during the PM peals period. These additional trips are were found to
add the equivalent of approximately 0.1 second of average delay to the two adjacent traffic signals
at the intersections of Blossom Hill Road and Chirco Drive with Los Gatos Boulevard.
2. Comparing the existing General Office land use with the proposed Police Services Building shows
that the Police Services Building is expected to generate an additional 6 trips during the Saturday
peak period. Saturday traffic volumes on Los Gatos Boulevard were measured in the Fall of 2005
to be approximately 25,000 daily vehicles. The trips generated by the Police Services Building are
equivalent to an addition of less than 0.1 percent to the roadway, a level considered less than
significant.
3. Installation of a dedicated left-turn entry and exit movement to the site can be accomplished
through physical median changes and relocating some turning movements. The Police Department
should review the frequency of their need for emergency access to determine the best alternative for
an access modification at this location. Although a dedicated entry and exit to the Police Services
Building may be preferable for police services, there are alternate existing locations to access the
Police Services Building site.
4. A preliminary evaluation of the changing parking demand throughout the day shows that the
available parking spaces in the secured parking area should be sufficient for the needs of the police
department. In addition, the 7 parking spaces axe anticipated to adequately meet the demand for
public parking at the Police Services Building.
5. It is recommended that at least one vehicle on-street parking space be removed to increase sight
distance for vehicles entering and exiting the access locations on Los Gatos Boulevard and
Camellia Terrace.
6. It is recommended that the Town install a "KEEP CLEAR' legend and stop line at the driveway
locations to help prevent vehicles from blocking -the intersection during peak traffic periods or other
congested conditions
7. In general, no pedestrian or bicycle access issues were identified with the site or its frontage with
Los Gatos Boulevard and Camellia Terrace. The Police Department may consider the installation
of a bike rack for its staff who may wish to ride their bike to work.
Thank you again for the opportunity to perform the traffic evaluation for the proposed Los Gatos Police
Services Building. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Los Gatos, CA 95032
Dear Mayor Pirzynsk:i and Council Members:
As residents of the Town Los Gatos in The Manor, we are writing in support of the
Town's Purchase of the Verizon building on Los Gatos Boulevard for a police operations
center. We will be out of town when the item is considered and wily not be able to
attend the Town Council hearing when the item is considered.
We believe the addition of the police building in this part of Town. distributes the police
presence in ou.r community well and will benefit our neighborhood substantially. We
would also .like to thank the Town's professional staff and Police Department for their
community outreach and commitment to integrating the use with the neighborhood.
We request the following conditions be added to the purchase of the property and any
use of the building for police operations:
® Require the same level of high quality architectural excellence and. financial
investment in the sides of the building facing public streets as would be required
of any private sector applicant.
® Ensure the visual interface between the operations center and neighborhood
along Camellia Terrace, as well as the fagade, are attractive and not institutional
in their look and feel..
® Restrict vehicular ingress and egress onto Camellia Terrace to emergency access
only.
Require an annual review of the operations of the police center by the Town
Council to provide a mechanism to benchmark and assess its compliance with
stated goals and objectives of the Police Department to being a good neighbor.
Again, we request that you approve the purchase of the site and look forward to seeing
the building redeveloped with the proposed use.
Sincerely,
Eric Morley & Holly III`
