DATE: July S, 2009
TO: MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL
FROM: GREG LARSON, TOWN MANAGER
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION SETTING DATE FOR CONSIDERATION OF
REORGANIZATION OF AN UNINHABITED AREA DESIGNATED AS
TOPPING WAY NO. 6, APPROXIMATELY.24 ACRES LOCATED AT 16511
TOPPING WAY (APN: 532-09-002); FILE #AN09-03.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt resolution setting date for consideration of reorganization of uninhabited area designated
Topping Way No. 6, approximately .24 acres located at 16511 Topping Way (APN: 532-09-002).
BACKGROUND:
The Town has an agreement with Santa Clara County that requires annexation of any property
located within the Town's Urban Services Area boundary and either adj scent to a Town boundary or
within 300 feet of the Town limits if the use is intensified. The property owner has requested
annexation independent from any development applications with the Town. It is expected that an
Architecture and Site application for a new residence will be filed in the future.
Section 56757 of the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 gives
the cities in Santa Clara County the authority to annex territory without application to and hearing by
the Santa Clara County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO). The process is initiated by
the Town after the property owner files an annexation petition. However, legislation that became
effective in 2004 now requires the Town to hold a "protest proceeding" even if the area proposed for
annexation is uninhabited and all property owners have consented to the annexation. This first
meeting and resolution sets the date for the protest proceeding.

SUBJECT: TOPPING WAY NO. 6; FILE #AN09-03.
July 8, 2009
DISCUSSION:
The Town has received a petition from David & Heidi Zinrnan, owners of the property at 16511
Topping Way, requesting annexation to the Town of Los Gatos. The property is located in an
unincorporated "island" of the County (see Attachment 1).
The property is in the Town's Urban Services Area, is adjacent to a Town boundary and is pre-zoned
R-1:8 (single family residential, 8,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size). Annexation will allow Town
services to be extended to the property and help fill an existing County "island." Santa Clara County
Planning and the County Library Service Area have consented to waive protest proceedings. The
protest proceeding has been scheduled for August 17, 2009.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS:
Annexation of the subject property is exempt for the California Environmental Quality Act
guidelines, pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3).
FISCAL IMPACT:
The following fees are assessed by Santa Clara County, LAFCO and the State Board of Equalization,
and are paid by the petitioner:
Map, Legal Description and Guideline Checking Fees

LAFCO Processing Fee
$1,103.00
State Board of Equalization Fee

The petitioner has also paid an Annexation fee of $2,624.00 to the Town.
