The Policy Committee is continuing to evaluate existing Council Policies to determine if specific policies
should be validated, revised, or rescinded. At its meeting of March 19, 2015, the Policy Committee
identified a minor change needed to the recently validated Commission Appointments Policy. At the
February 26, 2015 Policy Committee meeting, it began its review of and recommendations for land use
policies. The recommendations to the Council from both of these Policy Committee meetings are the
subject of this report.

DISCUSSION:
Revise Commission Appointments Policy
On March 3, 2015, the Town Council validated the Commission Appointments Policy. The Policy
provides that no person should be appointed to more than one Commission unless they are serving as a
representative of their Commission on joint committees such as the General Plan Committee. The
purpose is to ensure the greatest participation by the public in the Town's Boards and Commissions.
Also on March 3, 2015, the Council adopted a resolution establishing a Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory
Commission. The composition of the Commission includes a member of the Youth Commission, Parks
Commission, and Transportation and Parking Commission. At its March 19, 2015 meeting, the Policy
Committee recommended unanimously that the Commission Appointments Policy be revised to recognize
that Commissioners may serve as representatives of their Commission who have been appointed by the
Town Council (see Attachment 1).
Rescind Council Policies
At the February 26, 2015 Policy Committee meeting, the Committee concluded that three Council
Policies are no longer needed and should be rescinded as they are outdated and /or no longer needed:
1. Community Benefit Policy: This Council Policy is outdated and does not meet the original intent
of the Town Council.
2. Outdoor Restaurant Seating Standards: The standards are no longer needed as the State
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control has parameters that address outdoor seating.
3. Interim Policy for Development Applications along Los Gatos Boulevard from Spencer Avenue to
Route 85: In 1997, the Council adopted the current Los Gatos Boulevard Plan, "A Comprehensive
Long Term Plan to Enhance Los Gatos Boulevard;" however, Resolution 1995 -105 was never
rescinded.
Other Community Development Department (CDD) Documents
In addition to reviewing the policies referenced above, the Policy Committee reviewed its first set of
internal Community Development Department documents and concluded that three of them were no
current and should be removed from the materials that may still be used by staff and/or the public:
• CC &Rs Review Standards: This is a draft document dated January 10, 1985 and was used as an
informational hand -out on the review process of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions
(CC &Rs). The Policy Committee unanimously approved to remove this document from the CDD
documents because the State of California has jurisdiction over CC &Rs.
• Waste Reduction in Restaurants Standards: This document is an exhibit to an unidentified report,
possibly a Planning Commission report. The Policy Committee unanimously approved to remove
PAGE
MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL
SUBJECT: TOWN COUNCIL POLICIES
APRIL 2, 2015
DISCUSSION (Continued):
this document from the CDD documents as waste reduction was one of the purposes of the
recently adopted Polystyrene Ordinance.
Kitchen Definition: This is a Planning Department Policy that provided a definition of "kitchen'
as applicable to the review of projects by Planning Department staff. The intent of this Policy was
to prevent homeowners from converting spaces, such as attics, into livable /rentable spaces. The
Policy Committee unanimously recommended the removal of this internal policy because it is no
longer needed in light of the support of secondary units as evidenced by the Housing Element
Advisory Board work.
Attachment 3 contains each of these documents. Since the documents are not Council - approved
documents, no formal Council action is needed to delete them; however, the Policy Committee wanted to
bring them to the full Council's attention and to document that they are no longer in use.
CONCLUSION:
The Policy Committee recommendations should be considered and approved by the Town Council.
ALTERNATIVES
Not Applicable.
COORDINATION
The Town Manager's Office, Community Development Department, and the Town Attorney's Office
supported the Policy Committee as it discussed these policies and recommendations.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
This is not a project defined under CEQA, and no further action is required.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No financial impact associated with this recommendation.

To establish a policy to encourage participation by the Town's residents on Town Boards,
Commissions and Committees (hereinafter referred to as "Commissions "). The Town will
encourage residents to participate on Commissions by advertising vacancies on Commissions
for at least 30 days, preparing easily understood applications, maintaining clear descriptions
of the role of each Commission and Commissioners /Committee and Board Members
(Commission members), and conducting public interviews of all Commission applicants,
except as provided for in this Policy.

The Town Council encourages public participation in all decision making. To be successful in
achieving public participation, residents must be assured that the participation is meaningful
and that their input will be valued. The widest representation from the community can only
be achieved if vacancies are well advertised so that anyone interested will have the
opportunity to apply. Public interviewing of the applicants by the Town Council demonstrates
that the Council values these appointments and that everyone has an equal opportunity to be
appointed.
To ensure the greatest possible participation by the public, it is the Town's policy that no
person shall be appointed to more than one Commission except in those cases where they are
ex- officio members of other Boards, Commissions and Committees. This Policy does not
apply to Commission members serving as representatives of their Commission an feint
Committee who have been appointed by the Town Council (Revised on 4 /xx /15)

TOWN COUNCIL POLICY
TOWN OF LOS GATOS
Subject: Community Benefit Policy
Page 1 of 3
Approved:
Recommended By Planning Commission
on 9/25/02
PURPOSE:
Enabling Action:
2002-175
Effective
Date: November 4, 2002
The intent of the Community Benefit Policy is to provide the Town a means to support projects that
are beneficial and desirable to the community, but may have certain negative impacts. These impacts
are generally unavoidable or unintended consequences of new development, such as traffic, that
cannot be entirely avoided through standard conditions of approval. Negative impacts may be
overridden by benefits offered to the Town by an applicant.
A community benefit offering is intended to add to the merits of a project. It is not intended to create
a means for applicants to transform undesirable projects into projects that appear to be desirable due
to their community benefit. Rather, it is intended to provide applicants, who are already proposing
projects that are generally beneficial to the Town, a means of offsetting the negative impacts of these
projects.
A community benefit offering shall be something that otherwise would not have been required by
law or as a condition of approval for a project. A specific community benefit offering cannot be
compelled by the Town. It must be proposed by the applicant in addition to the standard conditions
of approval and any required mitigation measures for a project. Mitigation measures such as fees,
dedications, or easements required by the Town do not qualify as a community benefit.
The following policy shall be used by the deciding body when reviewing any application that: (1)
causes an increase of 5 peak hour trips per Resolution 1991 -174; or (2) is considered an infill project
per Resolution 1993 -62.
GENERAL POLICY:
1. The applicant shall propose the community benefit offering, and is responsible for
demonstrating that the community benefit being offered is appropriate to offset a project's
impacts. The applicant shall submit a letter of justification and any other supporting
documentation necessary to clearly outline the proposed community benefit.
Subject: Draft Community Benefit Policy
September 25, 2002
Paget of 3
2. The community benefit shall be offered in addition to the standard mitigation measures
required in the conditions of approval and in excess of any Town's codes and regulations
including California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). However, a specific community
benefit cannot be compelled by the Town.
3. The community benefit offering does not need to correlate directly with the project or with
the project's impacts. The benefit may be off -site or unrelated to the project.
4. The deciding body shall determine whether or not the community benefit being offered
sufficiently outweighs the cumulative impacts caused by the project. Both tangible impacts
(quantitative) and the intangible impacts (non - quantitative) will be considered.
5. The deciding body shall weigh the value of the proposed community benefit based on the
desirability of the benefit at the time the project is being proposed or based on perceived
future value or need.
6. The Town's values, economy, and character may change over time, therefore a previously
accepted community benefit does not set a precedence or guarantee that the same community
benefit will be accepted in the future. A previously accepted benefit may be drawn upon as
an example, but might not be accepted as a benefit in the future if the Town determines that
the benefit is no longer necessary, valuable, or desirable. Applicants should refer to the
Town's official needs assessment list or to a list of previously accepted community benefits.
(Please see attached lists)
Tax revenue generation resulting from the proposed project cannot be used as the project's
sole community benefit. Tax revenue generation may be used as a community benefit in
addition to another proposed benefit. It may also be used in the context of increasing the
overall value of the project to the Town if it contributes to the Town's long term financial
stability.
SPECIFIC POLICY:
The following is a- partial list of examples that an applicant may draw upon when seeking to create
community benefit for a project:
• additional BMP units or equally affordable housing units
• improved traffic circulation or reduction of traffic
• street or neighborhood improvements
• historic preservation or restoration
• public art
• open space, conservation, or scenic easements and other dedications

the standard mitigation measures required by the Town, that overrides certain negative impacts
resulting from an infill project or a project that generates more than five (5) peak hour trips.
