ARCHITECTURE AND SITE APPLICATION 5- 95 -46.
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 15780 LOS GATOS BOULEVARD,
PROPERTY OWNER: JOHN TRIPP.
WHEREAS:
A. This matter came before the Council for public hearing on June 3, 1996, on an
appeal by the property owners from a decision of the Planning Commission and was regularly
noticed in conformance with State and Town law.
B. This matter had originally been heard by the Council on February 5, 1996, at
which time the Council had returned the application to the Planning Commission for further
review because the property owner had submitted revised plans; the Council's February action
is contained in Resolution No. 1996 -19.
C. The Council received testimony and documentary evidence from the property
owner and all interested persons who wished to testify or submit documents. The Council
considered all testimony and materials submitted, including the record of the Planning
Commission proceedings and the packet and documents attached to the Council Agenda
Reports dated May 24, 1996, concerning this application.
D. The proposed commercial use would not have any vehicular access from Los
Gatos Boulevard, a commercial street; instead, visitors to the site would enter the site from the
residential street, Farley Road.
E. The Town has discouraged commercial projects that would bring traffic into or
through residential neighborhoods.
F. The present application does not represent the best planning for the site.
G. The denial of the application by the Planning Commission was correct.
RESOLVED:
1. The appeal of the decision of the Planning Commission on Architecture and Site
Application S -95 -46 is therefore denied.
This decision constitutes a final administrative decision pursuant to Code of Civil
Procedure section 1094.6 as adopted by section 1.10.085 of the Town Code of the Town of
Los Gatos. Any application for judicial relief from this decision must be sought within the
time limits and pursuant to the procedures established by Code of Civil Procedure section
1094.6, or such shorter time as required by state or federal law.
