UPDATE AND DISCUSSION ON THE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW SCOPE, INCLUDING THE NORTH 40 SPECIFIC
PLAN
RECOMMENDATION
Discuss and provide comments on the proposed General Plan Environmental Review as it pertains to the
North 40.
BACKGROUND
Council has previously directed a limited focus update to the Town's General Plan as well as completion
of the North 40 Specific Plan. In addition, the Town is completing its State-mandated update to the
Housing Element.
Each of these efforts requires varying degrees of environmental review prior to final Council action.
Council previously approved a contract and subsequent contract amendments with Design Community
& Environment (DC&E) to prepare a consolidated Environmental Impact Report (EIR) addressing the
General Plan and Housing Element. Consolidation was recommended for efficiency and to avoid
project piecemealing or segmentation, which are prohibited under the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA).
By law, the General Plan EIR must assess potential development in all parts of the Town, including the
North 40. Since a Specific Plan will be prepared for the North 40, it is important that the General Plan
EIR consider the maximum development on the North 40 that may ultimately be allowed under the
Specific Plan.

From: Bud Lortz, Deputy Town Manager
Subject: North 40 Conceptual Plan Review
Date: September 17, 2009
BACKGROUND:
On August 25, 2008, the Council held a Study Session to provide direction on how to proceed
with finalizing the North 40 Specific Plan (N40SP) in light of prospective development proposals
in the North 40 area. Specifically, the question was what process to follow:
® Complete the N40SP; and/or
Consider specific development proposals in advance of completion of the N40SP.
The Town Council voted 5-0 directing staff to finalize the N40SP. The Council indicated the
Draft N40SP should be used as the foundation for an updated Plan. The Council also specified
that the areas of focus for the update would be the following:
® How to fund and maintain infrastructure.
® Review the design standards in the Draft N40SP to address concerns that the design
guidelines and images contained in the draft do not clearly reflect the character of Los Gatos.
® Determine an appropriate land use mix that does not compete with the Downtown, including
limited residential development and a possible recreation component. The evaluation of
residential uses should include an analysis of potential impacts to schools.
® Review the draft development standards, which currently include a 500,000 square foot cap
on commercial mixed-use development, limit the size of any single use to a maximum of
70,000 square feet, state the average size of retail uses and structures should not exceed
30,000 square feet, and establish a maximum building height of 35 feet (exceptions can
granted through the Planned Development process to permit buildings up to 45 feet).
DISCUSSION:
On June 15, 2009, the Town Council approved the agreement with Design, Community and
Environment (DC&E) to include revisions to the N40SP and provide for consistency with the
General Plan. The Council directed staff to work directly with the General Plan Committee and
the Town Council on this important planning effort.

VERBAL COMMUNICATIONS:
Ray Davis commented on Monday's Town Council meeting. The Council voted to
acquire two acres below the dain for soccer fields. He disagrees with Bud Lortz's
recommendation to install two small fields and parking for 60 cars. He also commented
that the money from the sale of Town property in Vasona is not being used for its
intended purpose, and he feels it is a fraud. Lastly, he commented on the dust cloud
being spread by the cement plant in Cupertino. He encouraged people to protest as the
permit is up for renewal,
ITEM 1 REVIEW OF NORTH 40 SPECIFIC PLAN
Greg Larson opened the meeting noting that tonight's meeting is the result of Council
direction from a meeting held August 2009. At that meeting the Council directed staff to
complete the North 40 Specific Plan. The plan was originally developed through a
community process and was tabled pending the General Plan update in 2000. There will
be an on-going series of discussions over the next six months. The North 40 is the largest

undeveloped area in the Town. Council directed staff to review design standards, to
determine an appropriate land use mix that may include residential and will not compete
with the Downtown, and to look at the development standards. The primary property
owner, the Yuki family, has a representative who will present their thoughts on the
development of the North 40. There will be a Town Council study session on October
19, 2009.
John Bourgeois clarified that the Committee should be providing a recommendation to
the Town Council on the consultant's presentation.
David Early, DC&E, noted that the requested action is to include the North 40 program
as a component of the General Plan EIR. The goals for the project are to indentify an
appropriate mix of uses and the parameters for design and development. There is an
existing draft plan that currently supports destination retail and mixed use commercial.
The plan no longer matches the Town's vision included in the current General Plan. The
goal is to find a project that is smart growth, sustainable, and that reflect today's market.
Guiding principles include residential uses to the south, retail mixed use to the north and
a variety of types of residential.
The Yuki family is working with a developer, Grosvenor, and an architect, Peter
Calthorpe, who will be preparing a development proposal in parallel with the General
Plan Update. Many of the ideas overlap. Grosvenor controls about 30 acres of the 42
acre site.
Barbara Cardillo clarified that the portion of the North 40 that is not being discussed is
the parcels that are already developed. David Early noted that for the Specific Plan, the
entire area is being included. The development proposal from Grosvenor does not
include already developed parcels, a few residences and land not owned by the Yuki
family.
Peter Calthorpe, Architect, presented four principles that make a good place that is
sustainable and smart growth as follows:
® Diversity and balance: inclusive of a civic realm, residential, commercial and
neighborhood.
® Human and pedestrian scale: building shape, size, not centered around the
automobile. There are different types of human scale, but they all have the same
components including walkability and vitality.
• Conservation and sustainability: no place is an island, sustainability and
conservation is more than placing solar panels on the roof and driving a Prius.
Single family is sprawl. Green sprawl is when people conserve energy and drive an
energy efficient vehicle. Compact housing includes more efficient building
envelopes as opposed to large lot single-family development. Compact green is
higher density residential (compact) with sustainable design. There is a need for a
range of housing types. Housing that fits into the compact green category is a 4:1
savings on carbon emissions. There is currently a regional housing shortage.
General Plan Committee
September 23, 2009
Page 3 of S
® Connection and interdependence: proximity to jobs and housing.
One of the good things about the location of the North 40 site is its proximity to regional
transit. Once the light rail is extended to Los Gatos, a shuttle link between there, the
Downtown and the North 40 will interconnect the areas and allow people to travel around
town without using their cars.
Desirable plan elements:
The scale of the site needs to be attended to
® A pedestrian oriented edge along Los Gatos Blvd. is needed
® Minimal parking along the'street and in front of buildings
® More of a pedestrian edge along buildings
® Create a more unified landscape for sense of unity and consistent theme
® Need to connect through and use as many access points as possible so the site
becomes interconnected and traffic is dispersed
a Streets have to designed for pedestrians
® Traffic calming
® Break the scale of the blocks down
® Two characteristics: civic anchors including a park surrounded by residential and a
center plaza surrounded by mixed use
® Create boulevard treatment along the edge (Los Gatos Blvd.) to provide continuity
and comiectiveness
A true compact interconnected community can be achieved without impacting views of
the hills and overwhelming its surroundings. 'The predominant residential type would be
three-story townhouses.
David Early discussed the overall development goal that will be expressed in the General
Plan, which is to develop the North 40 with a mix of uses that complements and does not
compete with the Downtown and the rest of the community, and to plan for a smart
community that is sustainable.
Guiding Principles to be included in the General Plan:
Mixed use:
® High quality architecture
® Residential uses to south
Retail mixed use to north
Variety of types of residential
Connected street network:
® Connections to existing intersections along Lark & LGV
® Pedestrian orientation

Open Space:
• Park at center of residential
• Plaza at center of mixed use area
• Continuation of treatment along LOB
• Vegetative screeningibuffer along Highway 17 and Route 85
• Pedestrian scale buildings along LOB with minimal parking
• Split level buildings
• Tuck under parking
• Building heights that protect Town character and views:
a. 2-story maximum along LOB
b. 4-story maximum further back on the site
c. possible 5-story hotel
Development potential of up to 585,000 square feet of retail and office space and up to
750 residential units to be evaluated in EIR.
Tone O'Donnell asked about the numbers and what acreage would be assigned to those
uses. He is having difficulty envisioning the density. David Early noted that Grosvenor
controls about 31 acres. The entire site is about 42 acres and the average for residential is
about 18 units per acre. Bud Lortz noted that the proposed development potential is about
30% less dense than the Sobrato development.
Torn O'Donnell expressed concern that the height limitations will provide enough
control. Peter Calthorpe noted that the objective is to shape something that provides a
good envelope for development. David Early stated that the development parameters are
intended for the entire site and that the density could not be made more compact and
proposed for only a portion of the site.
Barbara Spector commented that she is concerned about the proposed building heights
and potential visibility, how the development may or may not be phased, infrastructure,
road intersection congestion.
Barbara Cardillo connnented on the.goal of complementing and not competing with the
Downtown. While it sounds good, it presents the possibility of a Santana Row-like
project. David Early noted that the anticipated businesses would be those that would not
fit in the Downtown and would provide good that are not available there. Peter
Calthorpe noted that it will be important to specify the type of retail that is needed and
desired. What types of products are people leaving town to obtain.
John Bourgeois commented that he is concerned about view preservation and visual
impact. He asked for, clarification on the split between mixed use commercial and
residential and how it was determined. Peter Calthorpe explained that the mixed use
area will need its own access and should not be hidden behind the existing commercial
area just north of Lark Avenue.
General Plan Committee
September 23, 2009
Page 5 of 5
John Bourgeois clarified that the proposed numbers are for purposes of study and
environmental evaluation. He commented that the parcel is one of the last areas of
agricultural use, and if the concept of retaining a portion of the orchard has been
considered. Peter Calthorpe noted that project specific details are not being shown at
this point. Bud Lortz noted that the history of the Yulci family should be included with
preservation of a component of the existing agricultural use of the site. '
Joe Pirzynski commented that he agrees with 'everything that has been said. An
important consideration is traffic generation. The entrance and egress will be very
important because of the existing traffic impact that is there now. The impact on schools
will need to be considered. He is not sure there is a nexus with the residential area to the
south of Lark Avenue. This has gone a long way to competing the North 40 Plan, and he
is very interested to see how the principles are received. He supports the proposal. This
is an extremely important piece of the community, It is a chance to do things right.
Jane Ogle commented that this is a very important project and she feels uncomfortable
malting a decision after an hour and a half discussion. Tom O'Donnell and Barbara
Spector agreed,
David Early said the principles can be revised based on comments that were made
tonight. For example, the need for a cultural component and preservation of views of the
hills. The matter will be returned to the Committee for further discussion.

SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FORM OF AND AUTHORIZING THE
EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF A PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT AND
RELATED DOCUMENTS WITH RESPECT TO THE SALE OF THE SELLER'S
PROPOSITION 1 A RECEIVABLE FROM THE STATE; AND DIRECTING AND
AUTHORIZING CERTAIN OTHER ACTIONS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Council adopt the attached resolution (Attachment No. 1) approving the form
of and authorizing the execution and delivery of a purchase and sale agreement and related documents
(Attachment No. 2) with respect to the sale of the seller's Proposition 1 A Receivable from the State; and
directing and authorizing certain other actions in connection therewith.
BACKGROUND:
Proposition IA was passed by California voters in 2004 to ensure local property tax and sales tax
revenues remain with local government thereby safeguarding funding for public safety, health, libraries,
parks, and other local services. Provisions can only be suspended if the Governor declares a fiscal
necessity and two-thirds of the Legislature concur.
On July 28, 2009, as part of the FY 2009/10 State Budget, an emergency suspension of Proposition IA
was passed by the Legislature and signed by the Governor as ABX4 1.4 and ABX4 15. Under the
emergency provision, the State will borrow 8% of the amount of property tax revenue apportioned to
cities, counties and special districts. The state will be required to repay those obligations plus interest by
June 30, 2013. It is anticipated that the State will borrow $800,000 - $1,000,000 in property tax revenue
from the Town.
ABX4 14 and ABX4 15 authorizes Proposition IA Securitization Program, which was instituted by
California Communities, a joint powers authority sponsored by the California State Association of
Counties and the League of California Cities. This program enables local agencies to sell their respective
Proposition IA Receivables to California Communities, who will then simultaneously purchase the
Proposition IA Receivables, issue bonds ("Prop IA Bonds") and provide local agencies with the cash
proceeds in two equal installments, on January 15, 2010 and May 3, 2010 (to coincide with the dates that
the State will be shifting prop p • tax from to al agencies). The purchase price paid to the local agencies

will equal 100% of the amount of the property tax reduction. All transaction costs of issuance and
interest will be paid by the State of California. Participating local agencies will have no obligation on the
bonds and no credit exposure to the State.
If the Town sells its Proposition IA Receivable under the Proposition IA Securitization Program,
California Communities will pledge the Town's Proposition IA Receivable to secure the repayment of a
corresponding amount of the Prop IA Bonds. The Town's sale of its Proposition IA Receivable will be
irrevocable. Bondholders will have no recourse to the Town if the State does not make the Proposition lA
Repayment.
Specific aspects of the Proposition 1 A Securitization Program have been clarified as a result of the recent
passage of SB 67, a clean up bill to ABX4 14 and ABX4 15. Key changes to the enacted legislation
include, but are not limited to: enabling the financing to occur in November; requiring a county auditor
certification of the amount of the Proposition IA Receivable; creating a tax-exempt structure; making
California Communities the only issuer; creating more flexibility regarding the bond structure (interest
payments, state payment date and redemption features); and revising the hardship mechanism.
Cities, counties, and special districts who choose to participate in the program must adopt the attached
Proposition IA Securitization Resolution and Purchase and Sale Agreement by November 6, 2009.
DISCUSSION:
Based on discussions with local agencies and literature from the League of California Cities, staff has
determined that it is in the best interest or Los Gatos to participate in the Proposition 1 A Securitization
Program. At a recent Santa Clara County/Cities Fiscal Officers meeting, all attending agencies confirmed
their intent to participate in the Securitization Program. Benefits to participation include:
■ Immediate Cash Relief - The sale of the Town's Proposition IA Receivable will provide the
Town with 100% of its Proposition lA Receivable in two equal installments, on January 15, 2010
and May 3, 2010.
■ Mitigates Impact of the 8% Property Tax Withholding in January and Mai- Per ABX4 14 and
ABX4 15 and the recently adopted clean-up legislation SB 67, the State will withhold 8% of
property tax receivables due to cities, counties, and special districts under Proposition IA. The
financing outlines bond proceeds to be distributed to coincide with the dates that the State will be

Prior to the sale of the Proposition IA Receivable to the Purchaser, the Seller held title to the
Proposition 1A Receivable free and clear of any Liens. As of the Closing Date, this Agreement,

on behalf of the Purchaser by the State with respect to the Proposition IA Receivable will be in
excess of the Purchase Price and the Initial Amount of the Proposition 1A Receivable and
confirms that it has no claim to any such excess amount whatsoever.
(m) The Seller does not act as an agent of the Purchaser in any capacity, but
instead presents itself to the public as an entity separate from the Purchaser.
(n) The Seller has not guaranteed and shall not guarantee the obligations of the
Purchaser, nor shall it hold itself out or permit itself to be held out as having agreed to pay or as
being liable for the debts of the Purchaser; and the Seller has not received nor shall the Seller

of the Purchaser in extending such credit or financing. The Seller has not purchased and shall

Seller concerning the obligation or ability of the State to make any payment of the Proposition
1A Receivable pursuant to Section 100.06 of the Revenue and Taxation Code and Section 25.5
of Article XIII of the California Constitution, nor is any representation made with respect to the
ability of the State to enact any change in the law applicable to the Transaction Documents

with respect to any offering document or disclosure related to the Bonds.
8. Notices of Breach.

breached any of its covenants or that any of the representations or warranties of the Seller or the
Purchaser are materially false or misleading, in a manner that materially and adversely affects

Purchaser, who shall, pursuant to the Indenture, promptly thereafter notify each Credit Enhancer
and the Rating Agencies.

liabilities to the extent that such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arose out of, or
was imposed upon any such Person by the Seller's breach of any of its covenants contained

herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Seller shall have no liability for the
payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds issued by the Purchaser.

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association
Los Angeles, California
Re: Sale of Proposition IA Receivable
Ladies & Gentlemen:
[I have/This Office has] acted as counsel for the'1'o%%n of I,os G toa: (the "Seller")
in connection with the adoption of that certain resolution (the "Resolution") of the l'o%.Yn COMICi I
of the Seller (the "Governing Body") pursuant to which the Seller authorized the sale to the
California Statewide Communities Development Authority (the "Purchaser") of the Seller's
"Proposition IA Receivable", as defined in and pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement
dated as of November 1, 2009 (the "Sale Agreement") between the Seller and the Purchaser. In
connection with these transactions, the Seller has issued certain Irrevocable Instructions For
Disbursement of the Seller's Proposition IA Receivable to the Controller of the State of
California (the "Disbursement Instructions") and a Bill of Sale and Bringdown Certificate of the
Seller (the "Bill of Sale" and, collectively with the Sale Agreement and the Disbursement
Instructions, the "Seller Documents").
Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used but not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Sale Agreement. [I/We] have
examined and are familiar with the Seller Documents and with those documents relating to the
existence, organization, and operation of the Seller, the adoption of the Resolution, and the
execution of the Seller Documents, and have satisfied ourselves as to such other matters as [1/we]
deem necessary in order to render the following opinions. As to paragraphs numbered 3 and 4
below, [1/we] have relied as to factual matters on the representations and warranties of the Seller
contained in the Sale Agreement.
Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the limitations and qualifications set
forth herein, [1/we] are of the opinion that:
B1-I
1. The Seller is a local agency, within the meaning of Section 6585(0 of the
California Government Code. The Governing Body is the governing body of the Seller.
2. The Resolution was duly adopted at a meeting of the Governing Body,
which was called and held pursuant to law and with all public notice required by law, and at
which a quorum was present and acting throughout, and the Resolution is in full force and effect
and has not been modified, amended or rescinded since the date of its adoption.
3. To the best of [my/our] knowledge, no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or
investigation, at law or in equity, before or by any court, public board or body, is pending or
threatened in any way against the Seller (i) affecting the existence of the Seller or the titles of its
Governing Body members or officers to their respective offices; (ii) seeking to restrain or to
enjoin the sale of the Proposition IA Receivable or to direct the application of the proceeds of
the sale thereof, or materially adversely affecting the sale of the Proposition IA Receivable; (iii)
in any way contesting or affecting the validity or enforceability of the Resolution, Seller
Documents or any other applicable agreements or any action of the Seller contemplated by any
of said documents; or (iv) in any way contesting the powers of the Seller or its authority with
respect to the Resolution or the Seller Documents or any other applicable agreement, or any
action on the part of the Seller contemplated by any of said documents.
4. To the best of [my/our] knowledge, prior to the sale of the Proposition 1 A
Receivable to the Purchaser, the Seller had not sold, transferred, assigned, set over or otherwise
conveyed any right, title or interest of any kind whatsoever in all or any portion of the Seller's
Proposition IA Receivable, nor had the Seller created, or permitted the creation of, any Lien
thereon.
5. The Seller has duly authorized and executed the Seller Documents and,
assuming the due authorization execution and delivery of the Sale Agreement by the Purchaser,
each Seller Document will be legal, valid and binding against the Seller and enforceable against
the Seller in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or laws relating to or affecting
creditors' rights, and the application of equitable principles and the exercise of judicial discretion
in appropriate areas.
No opinion is expressed concerning the obligation or ability of the State of
California to make any payment of the Proposition IA Receivable pursuant to Section 100.06 of
the Revenue and Taxation Code and Section 25.5 of Article XIII of the California Constitution,
nor is any opinion expressed with respect to the ability of the State to enact any change in the
law applicable to the Seller Documents (including, without limitation, Section 100.06 of the
Revenue and Taxation Code or Section 6588.6 of the Government Code). Furthermore, [1/we]
express no opinion as to the value of the Proposition IA Receivable or as to any legal or
equitable remedies that may be available to any person should the Proposition JA Receivable
have little or no value. No opinion is expressed with respect to the sale of Bonds by the
Purchaser.
B1-2
The legal opinion set forth herein is intended for the information solely of the
addressees hereof and for the purposes contemplated by the Sale Agreement. The addressees
may not rely on it in connection with any transactions other than those described herein, and it is
not to be relied upon by any other person or entity, or for any other purpose, or quoted as a whole
or in part, or otherwise referred to, in any document, or to be filed with any governmental or
administrative agency other than the Purchaser or with any other person or entity for any purpose
without [my/our] prior written consent. In addition to the addressees hereof, each Credit
Enhancer and the underwriters of the Bonds may rely upon this legal opinion as if it were
addressed to them. [I/We] do not undertake to advise you of matters that may come to [my/our]
attention subsequent to the date hereof that may affect the opinions expressed herein.

bond coupons for Parking Assessment District'3', as well as Reserve Funds set up as required by the original Bond resolution.

payments on the certificates of participation are due semi-annually.
Note 4: The three funds for the Certificates of Participation 2002 Series A consist of construction funds which will be expended over the
next few years, reserve funds which will guarantee the payment of lease payments, and a third fund for the disbursement of lease payments
and initial delivery costs.

Page 1 of 13
SECTION V
The attached Exhibit A(Map), and Exhibit B (Official Development Plans), are part of the
Official Development Plan. The following conditions must be complied with before issuance of any
grading, or construction permits:
TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT:
Planning Division
1. APPROVAL: This application shall be completed in accordance with all of the conditions of
approval listed below and in substantial compliance with the plans approved and noted as
Exhibit 18 of the report to the Planning Commission for the June 24, 2009 meeting. Any
changes or modifications made to the approved plans shall be approved by the Director of
Community Development, Development Review Committee, Planning Commission or the Town
Council, depending on the scope of the change(s).
2. TOWN INDEMNITY: Applicants are notified that Town Code Section 1.10.115 requires that
any applicant who receives a permit or entitlement from the Town shall defend, indemnify, and
hold harmless the Town and its officials in any action brought by a third party to overturn, set
aside, or void the permit or entitlement. This requirement is a condition of approval of all such
permits and entitlements whether or not expressly set forth in the approval, and may be secured
to the satisfaction of the Town Attorney.
3. ARCHITECTURE AND SITE REQUIRED: An Architecture and Site application and approval
i:s required forthe proposed building, parking lot improvements, and other site improvements.
The Development Review Committee shall be the deciding body for the Architecture and Site
application.
4. ON-SITE CARETAKER RESIDENCE: An on-site caretaker residence is permitted.
5. FRONT SETBACK: The front setback shall not be less than twelve feet three inches.
6. COMMUNITY BENEFIT: The applicant has offered the following Community Benefit to offset
traffic impacts created by the proposed project: replacing existing incandescent light bulb tree
lights with LED tree lights for E. Main Street east of the Highway 17 bridge (approximately 26
trees). Alternately, at the discretion of the Town, the applicant will provide $40,000 for on-site
or off-site access or other improvements for the proposed adjacent public recreation facility as
determined by the Town. The community benefit must be satisfied prior to the final occupancy.
7. FINAL LANDSCAPE PLAN. A final landscape plan shall be reviewed by the Town's
Consulting Arborist and approved as part of the Architecture and Site process. Minimum tree
size at time of planting shall be 24-inch box.
8. TREE PRESERVATION. All recommendations of the Town's Consulting Arborist shall be
Page 2 of 13
followed throughout all phases of construction. Refer to the report prepared by Arbor Resources
dated August 14, 2008 and June 3, 2009 for details. Tree protection specifications shall be
printed on the construction plans.
9. *BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES MITIGATION MEASURE #1: All recommendations made by
Arbor Resources (August 14, 2008) will be implemented to eliminate or minimize the
construction-related impacts on the trees to be retained. These include recommendations under
the Design Guidelines section addressing tree location mapping, protective fencing, building
setback, trenching, drainage facilities, and installation of new trees (including installation of
three new trees of 24-inch box size). The report also provides 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.
10. *CULTURAL RESOURCES MITIGATION MEASURE #l: Construction personnel shall be
alerted to the potential for archaeological materials, especially during trenching operations.
Archaeological indicators include, but not be limited to the following: darker than surrounding
soils of a friable nature, concentrations of stone, bone or fresh water shellfish, artifacts of these
materials, and evidence of fire (ash, charcoal, fire alerted earth or rock) and of course human
burials.
11. *CULTURAL RESOURCES MITIGATION MEASURE #2: In the event that archaeological
traces are encountered, all construction within a 20-foot radius of the find shall be halted, the
Community Development Director shall be notified, and an archaeologist shall be retained to
examine the find and make appropriate recommendations.
12. * CULTURAL RESOURCES MITIGATION MEASURE #3: In the event that it appears further
earthmoving will affect a resource eligible for the California Register of Historic Resources
(CRHR), a plan for evaluation of the resource through limited hand excavation should be
submitted to the Town's Community Development Department for approval. If evaluative
testing demonstrates that the project will affect a CRHR eligible resource, a plan for the
mitigation of impacts to the resource should be submitted to the Community Development
Director for approval before construction is allowed inside the zone designated as
archaeologically sensitive.
13. *CULTURAL RESOURCES MITIGATION MEASURE #4: If testing determines that an
archaeological site is eligible for listing, a plan shall be submitted to the Community
Development Director for consideration and approval, which outlines the process of mitigating
impacts on the resource. Assuming that the project could not be redesigned to prevent further
damage, mitigation can take the form of additional hand excavation to retrieve additional data
and materials from the deposit, combined with continued archaeological monitoring inside the
archaeologically sensitive zone to ensure that significant data and materials are retrieved for
analysis and final report preparation.
Page 3 of 13
14. *HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS MITIGATION MEASURE #1: The project
applicant and/or Town shall prepare a management plan to identify all suspected hazardous
materials and specify applicable regulations that would determine appropriate handling and
disposal of these materials. For suspected hazardous materials (contaminated soil and
groundwater) that may be encountered during construction, the management plan shall include
contingency plans for site safety, worker protection, sampling and investigation, and disposal and
remediation; these shall be based on soil and groundwater sampling and testing that have been
completed to date. The management plan shall be filed with the Town of Los Gatos and all other
jurisdictional agencies prior to issuance of the demolition and grading permits.
15. *HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS MITIGATION MEASURE 42: If groundwater
is encountered during project construction and dewatering is required, the project applicant shall
undertake sampling and testing of the encountered groundwater in accordance with the
contingency sampling and investigation plan. If groundwater is found to contain contaminants
that exceed regulatory action levels, it may not be discharged into the existing storm drainage
system. Removal and handling of the contaminated groundwater shall be done in a manner
acceptable to the RWQCB, the Town, and other jurisdictional agencies.
16. *NOISE MITIGATION MEASURE #1: Noise attenuation measures shall be included in the
proposed caretaker's unit to ensure that noise levels on the proposed balcony do not exceed 65
dBA (Ldn) and the unit's interior noise levels do not exceed 45 dBA (Ldn). Provision of
mechanical ventilation may be adequate to achieve this interior level, but a qualified acoustical
consultant shall provide appropriate design recommendations to ensure these interior and exterior
noise levels are met.
17. COMPLIANCE MEMORANDUM: A memorandum shall be prepared and submitted with the
building permit and/or final subdivision map detailing how the Conditions of Approval will be
addressed.

18. PERMITS REQUIRED: A building permit shall be required for the new commercial building.

WHEREAS:
A. This matter came before the Town Council for public hearing on October 5, 2009, and was
regularly noticed in conformance with state and Town law.
B. Council received testimony and documentary evidence from the applicant/appellant and all
interested persons who wished to testify or submit documents. Council considered all testimony and materials
submitted, including the record of the Planning Commission proceedings and the packet of material contained in
the Council Agenda Report dated September 23, 2009, along with any and all subsequent reports and materials
prepared concerning this application.
C. The appeal concerns a decision of the Planning Commission denying an application to build a
new single family residence. The subject is the remaining undeveloped lot of a three-lot subdivision approved
by the Planning Commission in 1991. The project site is located at 26 Alpine Avenue on the west side of the
street, southeast of East Main Street. The subject lot also has frontage on Jackson Avenue.
D. The application was considered by the Planning Commission on May 27, 2009. The
Commission continued the matter to the meeting of July 8, 2009, with the direction that the applicant consider
staff's suggestions or other alternatives to reduce the mass of the structure and the height of the auto court. At
the July 8, 2009 meeting, the Planning Commission continued the matter at the applicant's request, with no
discussion, to the meeting of August 12, 2009. The applicant modified the auto court area, which reduced the
mass of the retaining wall. No changes were made to reduce the mass of the house. On August 12, 2009, the
Commission denied the application since the mass of the house was not reduced and the applicant did not
provide justification for ignoring the Commission's concerns in that regard.
E. The Planning Commission's decision was appealed on August 24, 2009. The basis for the appeal
was that the Commission erred or abused it discretion because of undue influence and false information
allegedly received by them and the Planning Department, from a property that adjoining the north property line
of the appellant/applicant. The neighbor is a member of the Town Council.
N:\MGR\Town Attorneffouncil Reports\10-19-09 26 Alpine Resolution.wpd
F. The appellant/applicant provided no evidence of undue influence by the neighbor. The staff
report demonstrates that the Community Development Department was concerned about the mass of the right
elevation of the proposed stricture when the application was first reviewed in 2007, that this same concern was
reiterated to the applicant numerous time during the application process, and that the concern was
communicated to the Planning Commission by Town staff.
G. Pursuant to Town Code section 29.20.300, Council finds that new inforination was presented that
was not readily or reasonably available for submission to the Planning Commission at the time the
applicant/appellant's application was denied.; to wit, that the appellant/applicant desires a remand in order to
work with staff to address the issues of concern in order to obtain approval by the Planning Commission.
Specifically, the appellant/applicant will work with staff to reduce the mass and scale of the right elevation and
to ensure that the project is compatible and will blend with the scale and rhythm of the neighborhood and the
natural features in the area.
RESOLVED:
That the appeal of the decision of the Planning Commission denying architecture and site application 5-
04-64 is granted and the application is remanded to the Planning Commission for further review consistent with
this resolution.

Sec. 29.10.3025. Scope.
The Below Market Price Program requirements shall apply to all residential development
projects that include five (5) or more residential units or parcels which involve:
1. New construction of ownership or rental housing units, including mixed use
developments and addition of units to existing projects, or
2. Subdivision of property for single family or duplex housing development, or
3. Conversion of rental apartments to condominiums or other common interest
ownership, or
4. Conversion of non-residential use to residential use.
The residential developments consisting of five or more units are required to provide the
following number of BMP units:
(1) Projects containing five (5) or more but less than twenty (20) market rate units
must provide a number of BMP units equal to ten (10) percent of the number of market
rate units.
(2) Projects with from twenty (20) to one hundred (100) market rate units must
provide BMP units as determined by the following formula:
Number of BMP units = .225 (total # of market rate units) - 2.5
(3) All projects in excess of one hundred (100) market rate units must provide a
number of BMP units equal to twenty (20) percent of the market rate units.
(4) Whenever the calculations of BMP units result in a fraction of one-half or more,
the number of units to be reserved is increased to the next whole number.
(5) The Town, at its sole discretion, may consider an in-lieu payment alternative to
the required BMP unit in the case of Planned Unit development with an underlying zone
of IIR or a residential developments with five (5) to nine (9) units. Prior to approving the
in-lieu fee alternative, the applicant must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Town why
a BMP unit cannot be (1) developed on the same site as the market rate units, and if it
camiot be provided on the same site then, (2) develop at an appropriate off-site location
within the Town limits. If the developer provides sufficient justification that both of
these alternatives are not viable, then a fee in-lieu option may be considered. The
required in-lieu fee is as established by a separate resolution and is to be paid to the Town
prior to issuance of the certificate of occupancy for the market rate residential unit that
triggered the BMP requirement. The provision for a BMP unit applies if the project is
built under the rules of an overlay zone unless the rules of the overlay zone provide
otherwise.
BMP units shall be constructed and Certificate of Occupancies secured concurrently with
or prior to the construction of the market-rate units. The BMP requirement will be
calculated on the basis of the whole development. The Town Council may grant an
exception to the phasing requirements during the project approval process.

Sec. 29.10.3030. Price.
The price of BMP units is controlled for the first buyer and for future buyers by the BMP
Guidelines as adopted and amended from time to time by Council resolution and as follows:
(1) The initial price is limited to direct construction cost and a proportionate share of the
costs of preparing working drawings and specifications and providing on-site and off
site improvements, determined according to rules set by the Council.
(2) The initial price does not include the cost of land, profit, or marketing costs.
(3) Each BMP unit will be subjected to recorded title restrictions concerning manner of
future sales, occupancy and leasing.
(4) Each buyer of a BMP unit must agree to sell the unit to a moderate income buyer
designated by the Town. The Town will designate moderate income persons according
to rules adopted by the Council in effect at the time the seller purchased the unit.
(5) The resale price cannot exceed the original selling price plus the value at the time of
sale of improvements added by the owner, and plus an amount equal to the increase in
cost of living or housing during the owner's tenure. The index or method to be used in
calculating the increase is established by the Council.
(6) If a BMP unit to be resold has not been properly maintained or for any other reason is
in poor condition and in need of cleaning or repair, the Town may elect to do the work
or have it done and recover the cost from the sale price limited as provided in
subsection (5).
(7) The regulations will specify the period for controlled resales. The time period will be in
perpetuity or for as long as is practical.

Public Hearing Item #7 - Continued
Council Comments

change the in-lieu fee.
• Questioned the qualifications for a first time buyer and if Santa Cruz
County is one of the nine bay area counties.
• Questioned the reality to incorporate BMP housing within a hillside
development.
• Questioned whythe Community Services Commission thought two years
would be fair as the BMP requirement.
Ms. Rooney
• Commented that the Planning Commission felt that you could integrate a
BMP unit into a hillside development, but their major concern was that
hillside developments tend to have larger lots and larger homes which
may make it economically infeasible to develop a BMP unit into that type
of hillside development.
• Clarified that Santa Cruz County is one of the bay area counties in the
BMP Guidelines.
• Clarified that there should be some type of concession for people affected
by condo conversions and the Community Services Commission thought
that the two year time frame would be sufficient.
Open/Closed Public Hearing
Council Discussions
® Questioned how an applicant would demonstrate that a site is infeasible
for BMP units.
• Questioned if the same solution was discussed regarding small residential
projects with 5 to 9 units.
• Commented that the General Plan Committee had expressed that they
would like to have BMP units scattered throughout the Town rather
than funding the in-lieu fee account.
• Commented that it was General Plan's recommendation to eliminate the
in-lieu fee for the smaller projects with 5 to 9 units and that staff has
researched why the Town might need an in-lieu fee fund.
• Commented on supporting building a BMP unit verses the in-lieu fee.
• Commented that it would be to the Town's benefit to produce BMP units
and that the in-lieu fee would be a last option.
• Requested clarification on the consistency of the General Plan Committee
and the Planning Commission's recommendation for BMP units.
• Commented that the goal is to create BMP units throughout the
community.
7
Public Hearing Item #7 - Continued
Ms. Rooney
• Commented that the Planning Commission was looking at a tiered
process for hillside residential, because in hillside residential the overall
intent is to keep the density lower and that an applicant should be able to
demonstrate why a BMP should not be constructed on site.
Mayor Mike Wasserman directed Jackie Rose, Clerk Administrator to read the
title of the ordinance.
MOTION: Motion by Council Member Steve Rice to waive the
reading of the ordinance.
Seconded by Council Member Joe Pirzynski.
VOTE: Motion passed unanimously.
MOTION: Motion by Mayor Mike Wasserman to introduce an
ordinance amending Town Code Chapter 29, Division 6,
Sections 29.10.3000 through 29.10.3040 Housing
Assistance Program with the change to apply the current
rule proposed for hillside residential to small residential
projects with 5 to 9 units.
Seconded by Council Member Steve Rice.
Council Discussions
• Expressed concerns that there is an inconsistency in fairness across the
board if the motion was only relating to smaller projects with 5 to 9 units.
• Commented that the rules have not changed for larger developments and
that the change would only mean that the smaller projects would have to
follow the same guidelines.
• Expressed concerns that the goal, as part of the General Plan, was to
scatter BMP units across Town and feels that the motion does not reflect
that recommendation.
• Suggested maintaining the Planning Commission's recommendation and
to move forward with the language that accommodates the elimination of
the in-lieu fee for the 5 to 9 units.
• Commented that the motion leaves room for BMP units to be proposed at
another site if the current development is not reasonable.
• Commented that the statement relating to the phrase "if the on-site option
is infeasible" is a pretty clear direction to future Planning Commissioners.
• Commented that it would be the responsibility of the applicant to
prove that the BMP unit would not be feasible on site.
Public Hearing Item #7 - Continued
Mr. Korb
• Clarified that the challenge may arise when trying to phase projects in a
manner that ensures development of an off-site BMP unit and regulates
that the BMP unit gets built.

Member Barbara Spector voted no.
Mayor Mike Wasserman directed Jackie Rose, Clerk Administrator to publish
the ordinance.

locations within a three mile radius.
• Commented that the modeling for the proposed project was designed
using the current zoning policies of the Town,
Mr. Paulson
