Public Hearing Item #5 — continued
The Council continued its discussion of the matter and identified the following areas of
consensus:
• Agree that there should be a Specific Plan;
• Acknowledge that the Vision Statement is appropriate — tabling for now the
possible addition of language regarding meeting the State housing requirements
in bullet #3;
• Agree that the Vision Statement is sufficiently general to include not only the
needs of the north side of Town, but other places in Los Gatos as well;
• Designate 20 units per acre zoning to be on a limited number of acres to meet
the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) provisions;
• Distribute the residential uses equitably across the specific plan area;
• Provide a set aside for senior housing in terms of numbers of units, a
percentage, or number of acres;
• Determine how many acres Council should be looking at as designated for this
20 dwelling units per acre — not just for senior but for affordable housing;
• Agree for now that the Plan should include a maximum of 364 housing units;
• Agree for now that the Plan should include a maximum of 400,000 square feet of
commercial space;
• Acknowledge that section 2.6.7 is too general and the Plan needs some form of
definition or limitation beyond the current language;
• Include some type of chart or table that can be used with the language in section
2.6.7;
• Reduce the allowable total amount of small commercial spaces, 0 to 1,500
square feet and 1,501 to 3,000 square feet, to 2'/z percent each;
• Do not add a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) requirement for individual tenant
sizes over 50,000 square feet;
• Agree with allowing office and hotel uses with limitations for office in some
fashion.
The Council provided the following direction to staff:
• Request the Town Attorney to return with information on fair housing
requirements for senior housing regulations and how the units may be
designated;
• Provide information on potential impacts on the RHNA of designating senior
units;
• Provide suggested edits to section 2.6.7 which include language regarding mix
and size limitations for commercial spaces, and provide a proposed chart with
the changes;
• Provide a chart or language indicative of Council direction regarding hotel and
office uses as discussed by Council.
