ITEM NO: 3
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE: MARCH 2, 2016
TO: MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL
FROM: LAUREL PREVETTI, TOWN MANAGER
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO SET A DATE FOR CONSIDERATION OF A
REORGANIZATION OF AN UNINHABITED AREA DESIGNATED AS HILOW
ROAD NO. 6, APPROXIMATELY 0.27 ACRES LOCATED AT 16362 HILOW
ROAD. APN 532-04-082. FILE #AN16-001.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution (Attachment 2) to set a date for consideration of a reorganization of an uninhabited
area designated as Hilow Road No. 6, approximately 0.27 acres, located at 16362 Hilow Road (APN
532-04-082).
BACKGROUND:
The Town has an agreement with Santa Clara County that requires annexation of any property located
within the Town's Urban Service Area boundary that is either contiguous to a Town boundary or within
300 feet of a Town maintained roadway if a use is proposed to intensify. The subject property is
contiguous to a Town boundary. Annexation has been requested in conjunction with a proposal to
demolish an existing single-family residence and construct a new single-family residence on the
property.
Section 56757 of the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 gives
cities in Santa Clara County the authority to annex territory without application to and hearing by the
Santa Clara County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO). The Town is required to hold a
protest proceeding even if the area proposed for annexation is uninhabited and all property owners have
consented to the annexation. This first meeting and resolution sets the date for the consideration of the
annexation and the protest proceeding.

MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL
SUBJECT: HILOW ROAD NO. 6/AN16-001
MARCH 2, 2016
DISCUSSION:
The Town has received a petition requesting annexation to the Town of Los Gatos from Valy Jalalian,
owner of the property at 16362 Hilow Road. The property is located on the east side of Hilow Road in
an unincorporated County pocket.
The property is in the Town's Urban Service Area, is contiguous to the Town boundary, and is pre-zoned
R-1:8 (single-family residential, 8,000 square foot minimum lot size). Annexation would allow Town
services to be extended to the property and reduce an existing County pocket. Santa Clara County
Planning and the County Library Service Area have been notified in writing of the annexation request.
This agenda item, if approved, would set the date for consideration of the annexation application for
April 5, 2016.
COORDINATION:
The preparation of this report was coordinated with the Santa Clara County Library District, LAFCO,
County of Santa Clara County Assessor, County of Santa Clara County Surveyor, and the Santa Clara
County Planning Division.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Once the annexation is certified by the State Board of Equalization, the Town will receive 9.6% of the
property taxes.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
This is a project as defined under CEQA, but is Categorically Exempt under Section 15061(b)(3). A
Notice of Exemption will not be filed.
