LOS GATOS REZONES SITES FOR HOUSING IN SPLIT-DECISIONS

LGHS field hockey wins 17th CCS title

Rennie blocks forwardmotion on plan for USPS property, for now

Emanuel Lee, Sports Editor

If championships and consistency are the hallmarks for greatness, the Los Gatos High field hockey team can lay claim as being the best sports team— fall, winter or spring—in the entire Central Coast Section. The Wildcats won their 17th—count ’em, 17th—CCS title after a 1-0 win over St. Ignatius in the championship match on Nov. 11 at Valley Christian High. All of Los Gatos’ 17 titles have come in the last 32 years, and their 17-0-2 finish was the eighth time it has completed an undefeated season. Remarkable. The victory was historic on many fronts.

On Nov. 7, Town Council members debated the merits of rezoning areas where homebuilding is meant to occur. The meeting kicked off with an item that took 40 minutes, even though it had already been debated and approved at a prior meeting (it needed to be reaffirmed due to a technicality). Los Gatos is among a dwindling number of municipalities in the Bay Area that haven’t been able to get the stamp of approval on their housing element from the California Department of Housing and Community Development. In order for the Town to fall in line with the law, it must not only submit a plan of where it will allow houses, apartments, condominiums and mixed-use developments of various sorts to spring up, but it also must change zoning rules to make sure this can actually happen. Already the Town has run into trouble, because the Housing Element it approved, last January, didn’t meet the State’s criteria. ➝ Rezones, 6

SERVING VETERANS Mobile dental services were offered at Santa Clara County’s inaugural Stand Down event in July at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds.

SUPERVISORS PUSH TO BRIDGE THE GAP WITH MOBILE DENTAL SERVICES FOR VETERANS County to augment funding for program

nove mbe r 15 -2 1, 20 233 : losgatan.co m

Staff Report

The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors recently voted to augment funding for mobile dental services for veterans as part of the upcoming Fiscal Year 2024-25 Budget. This action was brought forward by County Supervisor Joe Simitian and co-authored by County Supervisor Otto Lee, and looks to provide relief to more than 64,000 veterans living in Santa Clara County. “Many of us take our oral health for granted; however, a significant number of veterans are not so fortunate,” Simitian said. “There is a clear need among veterans for dental services, and coverage isn’t as clear cut as one would think.” Many assume dental services for veterans are covered by the Veterans Administration (VA). This is true if a

veteran has a 100% “Total and Permanent” disability rating. According to the county’s Veterans Services Office (VSO), of the approximately 64,000 veterans living in the county, 43,000 are registered with the VA, and less than 8,000 of those registered have a 100% Total and Permanent disability rating. Veterans who are Medi-Cal eligible may receive dental services through the State’s Medi-Cal program; however, many veterans require assistance in obtaining coverage. “The process to apply for benefits is already frustrating,” said Dan Furtado, Campbell city councilmember and retired U.S. Army colonel. “Unfortunately, too many veterans slip through the cracks during the process, resulting in a lack of coverage; this is unacceptable. The county plan to augment mobile dental services is a great first step to address the need for veterans’ dental health care.” “We learned from veterans, families and Veterans Services Office

staff about the unmet need for dental care among our veterans,” Lee said. “These mobile dental services will be a game-changer since we found great success during the pilot. I’m grateful to partner with Supervisor Simitian on this referral and look forward to better serving our heroes who have served our nation.” In January, the VSO launched a pilot program to provide mobile dental services to veterans who visited the VSO. Pilot program services provided included examinations, consultations, x-rays, cleanings, fillings and extractions. While the “market rate” cost of these services is approximately $750 per appointment, the mobile dental services provider in the pilot program charges $350 per appointment. With typical discounts applied, county-provided dental services are $450 per appointment. When asked, many veterans in the pilot program cited cost as a barrier to seeking treatment.

“There are cost savings to the county that can be realized by augmenting resources for a program that has already delivered tangible results,” Simitian said. “Even a little bit of help can deliver huge relief to the folks we are looking to help.” The county’s 2022 Point-in-Time report identified 660 veterans experiencing homelessness, with nearly 80% unsheltered. More than half of those veterans surveyed said they suffered from a physical disability. Simitian noted that the county’s mobile dental services provider was able to provide services to veterans who attended the inaugural Stand Down event in July. Altogether, the VSO coordinated four free dental services events over five days; 168 veterans received dental services during these events. “If the county can deliver that much service with a one-off event,” Simitian said, “I’m optimistic we can do much, much more if we make the commitment. “Our nation says we honor our veterans. We recognize our veterans on Veterans Day; but if we mean it, we need to step up with the services these veterans need and deserve when they transition back to civilian life.”

COUNCIL DEBATES REZONING PLAN

nove mb er 15 -2 1, 20 233 : losgatan.co m

Rezones, from page 1

However, in the meantime, several developers submitted applications and pre-applications, meaning they can argue the rules that were in-place at the time should still apply to their projects. If Los Gatos fails to rezone by Jan. 31, there will be a whole new set of potential issues. Housing elements—as part of this “sixth cycle” of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment process—are required to comply with current state housing element law by that time. “State law has changed significantly since fifth cycle housing elements were adopted, and it would be unlikely that a fifth cycle housing element would substantially comply with current state law,” notes the Association of Bay Area Governments in an explainer. “If a sixth cycle element has not been adopted by the due date, the housing element would likely be out of compliance with state law until a complying sixth cycle housing element is adopted. There is no grace period, even for the period when a housing element is being reviewed by the Department of Housing and Community Development.” However, HCD approval isn’t required for a housing element to be found substantially compliant. Municipalities are allowed to adopt findings explaining why its housing element passes muster. But Los Gatos’ Council members have been hearing from residents that there is just too much risk involved in not gaining the HCD seal of approval. The Town’s development standards aren’t “null and void” if the housing element is not in “substantial compliance” with state law, ABAG notes. However, under the “Builder’s Remedy” rule, the Town might be forced to approve an eligible housing development, even if it doesn’t comply with local development standards. Still, Councilmember Matthew Hudes raised questions about the rising “buffer” of additional predicted housing opportunities, suggesting the current figure is now nearly 50% higher than the 1,993 Los Gatos is required to plan for. During the meeting, however, the Town confirmed some of this is because the Town’s consultant thinks she’s figured out a way to double-count units that were included during the previous cycle.

And it’s not clear that HCD will roll with this analysis. Staff noted it spoke with the housing ministry earlier in the day and had to field questions on this very subject. The vote to create an “overlay zone” to facilitate this special housing element rezoning saw Hudes make a motion (and vote in support), with Vice Mayor Mary Badame abstaining, and Councilmembers Rob Rennie and Rob Moore, along with Mayor Maria Ristow, also in support. However, when it came to actually changing zoning, margins were thinner. For the item featuring the vast majority of potential sites, Hudes came out against this rezoning, suggesting the fact that the Town hadn’t considered the effect of density bonuses coming into play meant it was just too environmentally risky to proceed—despite it being an implementation program in the General Plan. Town Manager Laurel Prevetti said it’s not typical for a municipality to make long-term land-use decisions based on density bonuses. After all, she noted, HCD wouldn’t let communities decide to build fewer homes just because they were able to imagine all the development that could be possible. Badame abstained, while Ristow, Rennie and Moore voted to support. For the next round of rezoning, Badame recused herself, because of where she lives. This concerned the Los Gatos Lodge and Alberto Way sites. In this case, a pre-application and a full application have already come in. But Hudes wasn’t about to give his thumbs-up—at least not until HCD shows its hand, in December, with an official letter on Los Gatos’ most recent Housing Element submittal. So, he opposed the motion, which passed 3-1. Then, it was Councilmember Moore’s turn to dip out, due to his living quarters’ proximity to the next sites (15300, 15349, 15367, 15405, 15425, 15480 and 15500 Los Gatos Boulevard). But in this case, Hudes said he thinks the targeted locations for housing are actually appropriate places for residential growth, so it passed 3-0-1, as Badame, again, abstained. Ristow left for the next item, the 72-unit proposal (which the Town is counting as 16 units, for now) at the United States Post Office site, at 101 S. Santa Cruz Ave.

Information is compiled from public records released by the Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Department.

The difference in units is because the developer has said it will invoke the Builder’s Remedy. Planning Manager Jennifer Armer said there’s no recommended change in height—between the 2020 zoning levels and what’s proposed in the Housing Element Overlay Zone—as the Town already allows buildings that are 45 feet tall downtown. The overlay zone will only allow for a handful more units (beyond what’s possible under the current Housing Element), if the mixed-use plan for the site falls through and a project is resubmitted. Rennie and staff struggled to figure out why the developer thinks it will be able to generate 72 units on that property, even with generous new laws coming out of Sacramento. “I don’t like their current application at all,” Rennie said. “Doing this rezoning,

I’m failing to see really what it changes very much.” Rennie made a motion to delay rezoning of this parcel until it’s clear the property will be needed for the Housing Element to pass. Hudes seconded the motion. This resulted in Moore sparring with Rennie. “It is really, really disappointing to me,” Moore said of Rennie’s approach. “We’re going to put ourselves at risk for not getting our Housing Element certified on-time, which is the biggest push that we have heard from our community.” With Rennie joining the more conservative voices on Council, the tables had turned; Moore was left out in the wind, as Ristow had recused herself. The zoning approvals introduce ordinances, which will later have to be affirmed.

The Watermark at Almaden in San Jose is introducing Gourmet Bites Cuisine, which allows senior residents living with cognitive, neuromuscular or physical challenges to eat nutritional meals with their hands. The cuisine takes all the elements of a full, traditional menu and recomposes them into gourmet bites they can eat with their fingers, creating an inclusive, sensory experience for residents who have trouble holding utensils. “When people choose to live at Almaden with us, we want them to thrive where they live,” said Debbie Teixeira, director of dining services at Watermark at Almaden. “Being able to eat nutritious and healthy food with accessibility and dignity when you have dexterity issues, is one more way we make sure they do thrive.” The Cuisine also allows Teixeira’s team to add fresh vegetables they get locally, such as their organic tomatoes from Los Gatos. There’s also a social aspect. “By ensuring people can eat with independence at the table, it allows them to sit with people and be active with the community, which is important, as isolation is often an issue with those who have cognitive challenges,” Teixeira said. While Gourmet Bites Cuisine has been introduced with great response to other Watermark communities across the U.S., and this is the first time it’s being introduced to San Jose. “I’m thrilled to bring this to our community,” Teixeira said. “Dining is one of life’s great pleasures and I love seeing that pleasure return to our residents’ faces.”

Emanuel Lee, Sports Editor

After being knocked out in the opening round of the playoffs by a West Catholic Athletic League team in each of the previous two years, the Los Gatos High football team wasn’t about to be denied again. The No. 4 seed Wildcats (9-2) earned an impressive 28-14 win over No. 5 seed Riordan Nov. 10 in a Central Coast Section Open/Division I opener. Los Gatos advances to a quarterfinal game at No. 3 St. Ignatius on Nov. 17 at 7pm. The outcome was historic on a variety of fronts, giving Mark Krail his 200th win as a head coach spanning his time at Pioneer and Santa Clara before taking over at Los Gatos 11 years ago. The Wildcats never trailed against Riordan, and won going away after the game was tied 14-14 at halftime. They scored single touchdowns in each quarter. Henry Masters scored on an 11-yard run in the first, Boxer Kopcsak-Yeung had a 3-yard rushing TD in the second, AJ Minyard connected with Jaylen Thomas for a 16-yard TD in the third, and Scott Garwood accounted for the final TD on a 9-yard run in the fourth quarter. Kopcsak-Yeung and the offensive line were the driving force behind a ground game that accumulated 248 yards on 37 carries, or 6.7 yards per rush. Kopcsak-Yeung had 178 yards on 25 carries as Los Gatos controlled the clock which helped contain a potent Riordan offense by limiting its possessions. In addition to his TD, Masters forced and recovered a fumble, and Aaron Brin had an interception after Nate Goldsbury tipped a pass in the first quarter. On the ensuing drive, AJ Minyard connected with Thomas for a 53-yard gain to set up Masters’ TD run. Minyard completed 11-of-20 passes for 235 yards, hitting several big plays to average a whopping 21.4 yards per completion. Thomas had four receptions for 120 yards and Owen Panu had five catches for 89 yards.

DEFENSE Henry Masters leads a host of Los Gatos High defenders on this tackle during their 28-14 win over Riordan High in a Central Coast Section Open/Division I opener on Nov. 10. Aurelio Valdez and Jake Gerber combined for seven quarterback hurries. Los Gatos was 7-for-11 on third downs, delivering one of its best performances of the season in that regard. After having its season ended in heartbreaking fashion in each of the previous two years—one on a last-minute interception and one on a last-second two-point conversion—Los Gatos beat a WCAL team to earn a coveted victory. Cross Country The Los Gatos High girls team and Aydon Stefanopoulos from the boys team qualified for the CIF State Championships after stirring performances in the CCS Championships on Nov. 11. The girls team placed third in the Division II race with a score of 95, a comfortable 60 positions ahead of Palo Alto for the final berth to State. Shea Elmore led the way for the Wildcats once again, finishing fifth in a season-best 18:33.2 at the venerable 2.95-mile Crystal Springs Course in Belmont. Taylor Chesarek was 19th in 19:17.9, Clare Liu finished 22nd in 19:24.3, Sarina Salzer-Swartz placed 24th in

19:36 and Tatum Pyle was 25th in 19:38.9. All five of the team’s scoring runners placed in the top 25, an incredible achievement that left coach Paul Lawryk amazed afterward. “I’ve never had that depth for a No. 5,” Lawryk said minutes after the race was over. This is Lawryk’s final season after a distinguished seven-year coaching run at the school. “I don’t know what her time was, but I’ve never had anyone be that fast for a No. 5. And Shea, wow, that’s fifth. She can make the [powerhouse] St. Francis and Los Altos varsity teams. .. I’m pleased the girls executed the way they wanted.” The Wildcats had high expectations last year but fell short in their bid for a State berth. This time, they got it done in emphatic fashion. Elmore and Chesarek have been on point and consistently fast all season, but it takes quality depth for a team to go through to State, especially in Division II, the toughest of the five in the CCS. To that end, Liu, Salzer-Swartz and Pyle came up huge. Before this year, Liu’s best Crystal time was the 21:44.3 she ran as a sophomore two years ago.

She didn’t come close to matching that time as a junior, but 2023 has been her breakthrough season. Prior to the CCS Championships, Liu posted times of 20:10.3 and 19:39 at Crystal Springs, meaning she’s nailed a personal-record (PR) three times at that course this season. Her improvement has been nothing short of spectacular. “I think Clare is our standout runner for the season,” said Los Gatos assistant coach Ibet Allan. “She’s improved every single race and she carries an extremely heavy academic load. She has run amazing.” Salzer-Swartz also had a terrific race, running a 21-second season-best at Crystal Springs. Allan said it’s been a joy seeing the girls develop and bond on and off the course this season. “I think one of the most wonderful things about our team is the girls have been in a very good head space,” she said. “They have stayed healthy throughout the whole season, but they’ve also really worked together as a team, they've got a really good connectivity about them and they have a healthy team dynamic. So they all really cheer for each other, and help each other in practice and stand together and I think that makes for a good team.” Meanwhile, moments after the Division II boys race, Wildcats junior Aydon Stefanopoulos lamented he wasn’t going to get another crack at Grant Morgenfeld, Palo Alto High’s senior distance ace. The two compete in the same league and have had memorable races over the last couple of years as they rank among the section’s best. Morgenfeld took first in 15 minutes, 5.2 seconds, and Stefanopoulos settled for second in 15:16.8, nailing a nine second PR in the process. Rounding out the Los Gatos scoring, Jensen Bidmead finished 11th in 15:54.2, Ben Klarich took 24th in 16:25.2, Sahil Agarwal placed 44th in 17:01.9 and Adam Wang came in 52nd in 17:11.7. The Wildcats were edged by Branham for the third and final State berth by a mere eight positions, 113-121. Branham proved faster in the fourth and fifth ➝ Football, 12

as the Los Gatos head coach—his first season with the club was in 1992, 15 years before all of the players on this year’s team was born, give or take— now has a record of 501-65-34. The Wildcats won their first CCS title in 1993, Reyes’ second at the helm. When asked to describe what it was like to coach the team to title No. 17, Reyes said this year’s championship was one of the most fulfilling. “Oh, I got to be really honest with you, this one will make me cry later just like No. 1 did, because it’s an emotional thing,” he said. “You interact and bond with the kids, and we want them to do what I believe they could do. When I started off the season, I knew that we could be a contender. But as we got to the midpoint [of the season], I felt more comfortable that there would be no reason why—unless we were our own enemy and the author of our own demise—would we give it away. And the kids played great and I’m so proud of them, so proud of them.” Outside of the first quarter, top-seed Los Gatos outplayed No. 2 seed St. Ignatius and had superior possession time the rest of the way. Los Gatos was 0-for-11 on short corners, but the 12th time proved to be the charm. That’s

when senior Aanya Gupta unloaded a shot from just inside the top of the circle to the goal which was inundated with players from both sides. Leaya Cleary displayed her Midas touch stick skills by deflecting the ball in for the only score of the game with 8 minutes, 55 seconds remaining. “She started to hit it and I wanted to make sure the goalie couldn’t stop it,” Cleary said, “because the goalie was right behind me. It was crazy. It took a long time but we got it in.” Gupta knew the team was knocking on the doorstep and felt it was a matter of time before it scored. “I feel like we were always right there,” she said. “In the circle, we’re there. Sometimes you just need the mentality that this is ours, this is ours. … It’s really incredible because everyone works together to the goal.” Los Gatos shook off a shaky opening quarter, which Reyes attributed to nerves. Both sides initiated the action in the second quarter, but Los Gatos was clearly in command in the second half. It controlled the play and the ground balls, the facet of field hockey where games are often won or lost. Players like the aforementioned Cleary, Gupta, Ellie White, Alexa Musser, Macy Dennon, Caitlin

Okonkwo, Clare Torres, Juliette Vrijen and Keira Lin have been stalwarts throughout the season. Musser and White are physical players and key in the team’s possession-control game. Los Gatos didn’t make it easy on itself in the end. Due to penalties, Los Gatos was actually down two players with 3:05 left to play. “We lost a couple of people at the end so we had to regroup, but I think those kids that were left on the field did admirably,” Reyes said. “Hey, fight like crazy. Honestly, it could’ve gone either way. We had a few more chances I thought, but even which way if you don't capitalize it’s a 0-0 game. It [the penalties] was timely, it worked out, it favored [us and] the clock to only be a few minutes left and we did the best we could.” SI had some prime scoring opportunities early, producing four short corners in the first period alone. Despite putting some potent shots on goal, SI couldn’t find the cage which turned out to be its best chances of the game. Los Gatos also squandered several golden scoring opportunities, at times producing a flurry of shots in front of the SI goal only to be denied. Cleary had a one-on-one situation with the SI goalie late in the first and Gupta had a shot that went just wide in the second. But those two players kept on attacking and combined for the game-winner, helping send Los Gatos into championship glory.

RUNNERS HIT MARKS Football, from page 10 positions which ultimately made the difference. That’s not to say Los Gatos had a mediocre race—far from it. Three of its five runners hit career-bests, including Bidmead with a nine-second PR and Agarwal with a huge 27-second PR. Stefanopoulos is seemingly primed for a strong performance at the State Championships Nov. 25 at Woodward Park in Fresno. He finished fifth in last year’s State Meet while Morgenfeld was 18th. At Crystal Springs, Stefanopoulos, who is as refreshing and candid as any athlete you’ll ever meet, broke the race down with clarity and detail. “I basically went out and was confident,” he said. “I thought I could beat Grant. He’s just really a monster on this course, man. He can work those hills like nobody I know. He broke me on Heartbreak Hill or Cardiac Hill over there, and I just wasn’t able to get ahead of him past that [point]. … I think what I should’ve done was gotten ahead of him before that so he couldn’t exactly storm ahead past the hill [just beyond the 2-mile mark]. He broke me there and I wasn’t able to catch up on the hill. It’s 23 meters [ascent], it’s damn steep. It’s kind of like Montgomery Hill [in San Jose] but shorter.” Stefanopoulos did his best to push Morgenfeld, putting in a few surges from the one mile to two-mile mark. “I wasn’t able to break him there, his aerobic capacity is just so strong I wasn’t able to pass him,” Stefanopoulos said. “But hey, I made it to State and that’s what I wanted.” A day before the event, Stefanopoulos and his teammates received a treat when Grant Fisher worked out at the LGHS track and spent time with the team. Fisher is the North American record-holder at 3,000, 5,000 and 10,000 meters, and finished fifth in the 10K at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. Stefanopoulos got to do a warmup and cooldown lap with one of America’s premier distance runners, and it was nothing short of a thrill. “Watched his whole workout, watched him do the lactate meter which is very interesting,” Stefanopoulos said. “Very, very cool moment, but I wasn’t exactly thinking about it during the race. Of course me and the guys were all so excited about [meeting him].”

THE LONG-LOST INTERURBAN RAILROAD nove mbe r 15 -2 1, 20 233 : los gatan .co m

Alan Feinberg, Contributor

For as long as I can remember, people have been wondering when (or if ) the VTA might extend light rail service to Los Gatos. Imagine how convenient it would be to step aboard a trolley on N. Santa Cruz Avenue and relax in comfort as you travel to Saratoga, San Jose or Palo Alto. It would be a reliable and time-efficient way to commute without worrying about getting stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic. You could take your family to Alum Rock park on a summer afternoon or explore new restaurants in Palo Alto without the expense and hassle of finding a place to park. What’s amazing is that you’re not imagining the future, you’re reliving the past! In the late 19th century, shortly after the advent of electricity, entrepreneurs began developing plans for

RIDING IN STYLE Interior of one of the first four trolley cars, named “Granger” after the Interurban Railway company co-founder.

streetcars which could travel over long distances using electric power. Several private companies applied to Santa Clara County for licenses to operate a rail line powered by overhead wires between San Jose and Los Gatos, mostly via existing roadways. Public sentiment was strongly in favor of a so called “inter-urban” transportation system. Merchants believed that it would foster economic connections and stimulate trade, students thought

it would offer easy and reliable transportation to school, and citizens anticipated an inexpensive and convenient way to explore new destinations. After several unsuccessful attempts by competing companies to raise funds and secure rights-of-way, the San Jose-Los Gatos Interurban Railroad began operating in March 1904. The 18-mile line ran down the center of Main Street and North Santa Cruz Avenue then along Saratoga-Los

Gatos Road (Highway 9), Saratoga Avenue and Stevens Creek Boulevard before terminating in downtown San Jose. Trains ran hourly at speeds up to 30 mph and a complete trip with multiple stops took 30 minutes. There was also a short extension along Big Basin to Congress Springs. The streetcar business proved to be extremely profitable. Within five years, three other interurban lines were operating in the valley. At the height of the electric trolley’s popularity in 1915, 126 miles of track crisscrossed the area. Beyond its practical implications, the interurban railway also had a profound impact on the social dynamics of the communities it served. The newfound sense of regional interconnectedness strengthened ties between neighboring towns which previously had been somewhat isolated. Compared to the traditional railroad, with huge, lumbering steam-engine-powered locomotives, the little streetcars were a marvel of early 20th century engineering. They were quiet, efficient, and featured innovative safety features such as air brakes. Each car comfortably seated 52 passengers. The interiors were finished in handsome carved cherry wood, with brass trim, electric lights, etched glass sliding doors and genuine leather seats. In 1910, special trains with observation cars were introduced so that riders could tour the area during springtime when the orchards and wildflowers were in full bloom. Tourists paid the premium rate of $1 to marvel at what became known as “The Valley of Heart’s Delight.” The trolley ultimately fell victim to the advance of the automobile as roads improved and more people were able to afford the convenience of personal transportation. Ridership declined and the business quickly became unprofitable. Streetcars also became a nuisance when competing with increased automobile traffic, occasionally resulting in accidents. They were ultimately deemed obsolete, and service was discontinued in March 1933 just 30 years after inception, marking the end of a long-forgotten era in the Bay Area’s transportation history. Alan Feinberg is the founder of the LOST Gatos Project. Our mission is to reignite passion among Los Gatos residents for preserving our town’s unique character and historic treasures before they’re lost forever.

The following is a summary of the Ordinance: This Ordinance of the Town Council of the Town of Los Gatos amends Chapter 29 “Zoning Regulations” to replace Division 5 (Affordable Housing Overlay Zone) of Article VIII (Overlay Zones and Historic Preservation) with the “Housing Element Overlay Zone” as Division 5 of Article VIII. The amendments create a Housing Element Overlay Zone (HEOZ) to increase housing supply and affordability in the Town of Los Gatos. The HEOZ is intended to increase the supply and the mix of housing types, tenure, and affordability within the Town of Los Gatos. A property with a HEOZ designation may be developed as a residential or mixed-use project with a residential use occupying more than 50% of the total floor area based on the applicable HEOZ development standards. The underlying zoning development standards will remain in effect for all other development without a residential component. The HEOZ development standards are listed in Table 1A of the ordinance. No residential or mixed-use project may be developed that does not meet the applicable HEOZ development standards. An Environmental Impact Report was prepared and certified for the 2040 General Plan Update on June 30, 2022, which included the proposed Zoning Code amendments.
