Los Gatos residents want responsible and conforming development that respects the scale and character of our Town. The current Development Application for the North 40 property (the Gateway to Los Gatos) is far too INTENSE and DOES NOT comply with the Vision and Guiding Principles of the town's Specific Plan.
We are tax paying citizens that want our Town Council to support the will of the people by "Denying" the current application and motioning for an immediate Specific Plan Amendment Process. The amendment would include and/or exclude verbiage to protect the town's Specific Plan Vision and Guiding Principles as stated below.
The North 40 respects the special nature of our hometown. It celebrates our history, agricultural heritage, hillside views, and small town character. The North 40 is seamlessly woven into the fabric of our community, complementing other Los Gatos residential and business neighborhoods. It is respectful of precious community resources and offers unique attributes that enrich the quality of life of all of our residents.
Guiding Principles to achieve this vision:
• The North 40 will look and feel like Los Gatos.
• The North 40 will embrace hillside views, trees, and open space.
• The North 40 will address the Town’s residential and/or commercial unmet needs.
• The North 40 will minimize or mitigate impacts on town infrastructure, schools, and other community services.
Please forward this petition to your Los Gatos friends and neighbors.
