1. APPLICATION #05-123 (397-23-044) - ROSEVEAR, 20283 La Paloma Avenue; - The applicant
requests design review approval to construct a new multi-story residence with a maximum height
of 25 feet. The total floor area of the new home including the attached garage will be 2,880 square
feet. The gross lot size is 7,491 square feet and the site is zoned R-1-10,000. This application was
conditionally approved by the Planning Commission at a public hearing on September 28, 2005.
This application is again being presented at a public hearing at the applicant’s request and
according to the Planning Commission’s direction because the applicant is unable to comply with
a specific condition of approval established at the September 28th public hearing.
2. APPLICATION #06-002 (397-34-006, 397-34-007, 397-30-060) 13998 and 14000 Shadow Oaks
Way, and 13425 Fruitvale Ave. – MEHRA, NARAYAN & SARATOGA UNION SCHOOL
DISTRICT - The applicants request a recommendation of approval of a General Plan
Amendment, Rezoning and Lot Line Adjustment. Saratoga Union School District proposes to
transfer 9,851 square feet of its property at Redwood Middle School to a residential property at
13998 Shadow Oaks Way, and 6,868 square feet of its property to the neighboring residential
property at 14000 Shadow Oaks Way. The portion of school property being transferred to the
two residential lots is situated on the opposite (north) side of Wildcat Creek and is not used by
the school for any purpose. The two residential property owners would like to add this unused
portion of land to their respective lots for maintenance purposes. The parcel owned by the school
district is in General Plan designation CFS (Community Facilities) and is zoned R-1-40,000. The
two residential lots are in General Plan designation RLD (Residential Low Density) and are in the
R-1-20,000 zoning district. All three parcels would remain in the same General Plan and zoning
designations. However, a General Plan Amendment is required for approval of this application so
that the General Plan and zoning designation boundaries are consistent with the new proposed
lot lines of the three parcels.
3. APPLICATION #06-100 (397-22-012) - SARATOGA FEDERATED CHURCH SCHOOL,
20390 Park Place; - The applicant requests modification of plans that required the installation of
an automatic gate at the Church parking lot access to SR-9, across from Oak Street. When
originally planned, the parking lot was to allow traffic ingress directly from SR-9, and the gate
was proposed to mitigate potential cut-through traffic into the neighborhood. However, as
designed, traffic flows only in a one-way direction providing egress onto SR-9.
4. APPLICATION #06-090 – Crown Castle, Highway 9/Big Basin Way; - The applicant request
approval for a conditional use permit to co-locate an omni antenna and associated cabinet directly
on existing telephone poles along Highway 9/Big Basin Way. The proposed height of each
antenna will not exceed the height of the existing telephone poles.
5. APPLICATION #06-094 (517-09-044) – Crown Castle, 20506 Saratoga Las Gatos Road; - The
applicant requests approval for a conditional use permit to construct an unmanned
telecommunications hub within a 691.23 sq. ft. tenant space, which would provide sublease area
for up to four carriers, in the CN Zoning District.
