After establishment of a PD zone the uses authorized in the underlying zone continue to be lawful as alternatives to the uses authorized in the PD zone, but the land in the zone must be used either in the manner provided by the underlying zone or the PD zone, and not both. The purpose of the PD zone is to provide for alternative uses and developments more consistent with site characteristics than allowable in other zones, and so, create an optimum quantity and use cf cpen space and encourage excellence of design. The PD zone permits establishment of a single use or the integration of several different uses not ordinarily permitted within the underlyinq zone because of use limitations or standardized devei.opment or design requirements Of the underlying zone. Such flexibility is possible only if use and development is in compliance with a complete development plan showing relationships of the use or uses to each other, to the district as a whole, and to surrounding areas.

SEC. 5.20.020: ARCHITECTURE AND SITE APPROVAL, PURPOSE AND INTENT The Town of Los Gatos is situated in the westerly portion of Santa Clara County, California, at the immediate foot of and extending into the Santa Cruz Mountains, and is predominantly a residential community. The economic stability of the economy within the Town and of the Town's government has been, is presently and during the foreseeable future will continue to be principally depcndent upon its high quality residential development and retail commercial operations. The Tovr,'s aeograpr_ical n-,�i . :mer.t, ni- ;e architectural and site development which combine and integrate structures of historical significance with new construction of a style which blends into and compliments tr.e traditional aesthetic setting of the Town, and the specialized retail commercial outlets offering specialty types of merchandise have and are increasingly making the Town a unique attraction within the San Francisco Bay Area. The continued encouragement of this character is necessary to maintain the economic stability of the Town and to withstand the competition by commercial shopping center complexes which encircle the Town beyond its municipal boundaries and in close proximity to various residential areas within the Town. -247- Therefore, the following goals are important to the continuation of the economic well -being and stability of the Town and the preservation of the health, safety and welfare of the citizens therein: (1) excellence of architectural design in residential and commercial development of a type which compliments the surroundings of the Town and distinguishes the purposes of the uses contained therein from operations of a more typical and less selective nature; (2) the location of residential and commercial uses in such a manner as to facilitate safe and convenient pedestrian and vehicular traffic circulation, accommodate suitable sequences of shopping patterns, and maintain adequate off - street parking; and (3) the preservation of open spaces within r+ the form of recreational. resn_dent:ia1 and co ?,I -ccial dovelop E,, ir.. areas and ' :115, y Ecs and ;.ier.- s=J,kn areas, NnTit}7 emphasis, upon ciT% "7lat'i.OZi. S S(='ms titi'aIn - ..real o:F'L'1ah -intensity retail commercial activity. Pursuant to these goals the fur. ^lion of architecture and site approval s'-,all be to: (1) regulate the height, width, shape and proportion, and exterior const uction and design of buildings and st.:ructures for the purpose of insuring that they are architecturally compatible wi -n their surroundings and promote a unified (not necessarily uniform) and distinctive theme which ]-harmonizes with the commercial and residential development within the Town; (2) regulate the location of uses authorized by the respective zone class ifications in order to: (a) facilitate where appropriate the assembly of small parcels of land into -248- unified use development; (b) insure compatibility of proposed uses with the characteristics of the surrounding area and purposes of the zone classification in which the land is situated; and (c) accomplish the goals above described. SEC. 5.20.030: APPROVAL REQUIRED Architecture and Site Approval is required for the establish- ment or modification of all uses in all zones except single family dwellings in the R -1, R -1:M, R -D, R -M, and RMH zones and two - family dwellings in the R -D zone. SEC. 5.20.040: CONSIDERATIONS IN REVIEW OF APPLICATIONS The reviewing body or official designated to determine applications for architecture and site approval shall consider all relevent matter including, but not limited to, the £ollowi.ng: (1) Considerations relating to traffic .safety and traffic congestion: The effect of the site de,JelopmeTlt pia,:x on traffic conditions on abutting streets; the layout of the site with respect to locations and dimensions of vehicular and pedestrian entrances, exits, drives, and walkways; the adequacy of off - street parking facilities to prevent traffic congestion.; the location, arrangement, and dimension of truck loading and un- loading facilities; the circulation pattern within the boundaries of the development, and the surfacing and lighting of off - street parking facilities. -249- (2) Considerations relating to outdoor advertising: The number, location, color, size, height, lighting and landscaping of outdoor advertising signs and structures in relation to the creation of traffic hazards and the appearance and harmony with adjacent development. (3) considerations relating to landscaping: The location, height, and materials of walls, fences, hedges and screen plantings to insure harmony with adjacent development or to conceal storage areas, utility installations or unsightly development; the planting of ground cover or other surfacing to prevent dust and erosion; and the unnecessary destruction of existing healthy trees.

SEC. 5.20.200: CONDITIONAL USE FERJ41 S The formulation and enactment of a comprehensive zoning code is based on the division of the Town into zones in each of which -252- are permitted specified uses. that are mutually compatible. In addition to such permitted compatible uses, however, it is recognized that there are other uses which it may be necessary or desirable to allow in a given zone but which on account of their potential influence upon neighboring uses or public facilities need to be carefully regulated with respect to location or operation for the protection of the community. Such uses are classified in this Ordinance as "conditional uses" and fall into two categories: (1) Uses either municipally operated or operated by publicly - regulated utilities or uses traditionally affected by public interest; and (2) Uses entirely private in character which, on account of their peculiar locational need, the nature of the service they offer to the public, and their possibly damaging influence on the neighborhood, may be established in a zone or zones in which they cannot reasonably be allowed as an unrestricted permitted use under the zoning regulations. SEC. 5.20.210: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT -- FINDINGS AND DECISION The reviewing body, on the basis of the evidence submitted at the hearing, may grant a Conditional Use Permit when specifically authorized by the provisions of this Ordinance if it finds that: (1) The proposed uses of the property are essential or desirable to the public convenience or welfare; -253- (2) The proposed uses will not impair the integrity and character of the zoning district; (3) The proposed uses would not be detrimental to public health, safety or general welfare; and (4) The proposed uses of the property are in harmony with the various elements or objectives of the General Plan and the purposes of this Ordinance. SEC. 5.20.220: CONDITIONS In approving a Conditional Use Permit, time extension or modifications thereto, the reviewing body may include such conditions as are reasonable and necessary under the circumstances, to preserve the integrity and character of the zone and to secure the general purposes of this Ordinance and the General Plan. Such conditions, without limiting the discretion and authority of the reviewing body, may include time limitations, architecture and site approval, street dedication and street and drainage improvements. SEC. 5.20.230: MNDITIONAL USE MODIFICATION A use authorized by conditional use permit shall not be modified unless a modification to the permit is approved. The following changes in use are modifications: (1) Intensification of use. (By way of example, intensifications of use are evidenced by additions to seating capacity or gross floor area, increases in parking required -- other than the requirement of -254- increases because of ordinance amendment -- use of additional land, or commencement of new activities.) (2) Any change that is a substantial departure from plans which were the basis of the conditional use permit approval.
