Present Land Use
The 17.55-acre project site (APN 532-16-006) is located on an undeveloped hillside at 178 Twin Oaks Drive in Los Gatos. Surrounding existing uses include single-family residences, as well as the Hillbrook School to the north. The General Plan designates the site as Agriculture and the site is zoned Resource Conservation (RC). The project site is located within the Town’s 1978 Hillside Specific Plan and the Hillside Area.
Document Description
The project would subdivide the site into 12 residential lots, ranging in size from approximately 0.1-acre to 5.48 acres. The eastern portion of the project site would remain undeveloped. The western slope would be developed with 11 residences, and an additional single-family residence would be constructed on Lot 10, on the northeastern slope. Access would be provided by a new private driveway off Twin Oaks Drive to the west, and a separate route from Cerro Vista Court for Lot 10. The project would require Town approval of a Tentative Subdivision Map, Tree Removal Permit, and Architecture Site Plan Review. Due to the applicant’s SB 330 and Builder’s Remedy status, a General Plan Amendment or Rezone is not needed. The applicant proposes voluntary compliance with several Hillside Development Standards and Guidelines, including lot configuration and building location.
