EXHIBIT "B"
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT
To provide for the annexation of the area known as Sunland Park to the
City of Saratoga, the 1974 Saratoga General Plan shall be amended as
follows:
I. The official General Plan Map (August 9, 1974) shall include an area
of approximately 52.7 acres, bounded on the west by Quito Road,
on the south by McCoy Avenue, on the east by Villanova, and on
the north by the rear line of properties on the north side of
Baylor Avenue. The area shall bear the residential designation
of medium density.
II. The planning areas map, page 21 of the Saratoga General Plan 1974
document, shall show Sun land Park as Planning Area K.
III. The Action Program of the Saratoga General Plan 1974 document,
shall include this text, following page 54:
AREA K - SUNLAND PARK
Sunland Park is a neighborhood of 200 single-family residences,
built as a single tract in the mid-1950s. The lots vary in size
from approximately 8,000 square feet to well over 10,000 square
feet in a few instances. The average lot size is about 8,100
square feet. The majority of homes are thus situated on legal
non-conforming lots. Homes and landscaping are generally well
maintained. Approximately ninety percent of the homes are
owner occupied.
The neighborhood is served by Quito Road, the arterial which
borders it to the west. McCoy Avenue, on the south, is a
collector street. The other streets in the neighborhood are
local access streets. There are street deficiencies which
should be corrected to conform to City Standards.
Sunland Park was an unincorporated area within the sphere of
influence of the City of San Jose. Under the terms of the
Municipal Organization Act of 1977, San Jose sought to annex the
area. The Sunland Park residents contended their identification
with Saratoga was greater and petitioned the City to initiate
steps to annex the area instead, a request approved by the Local
Agency Formation Commission. The agencies and districts which
provide services to Sunland Park also serve areas of Saratoga
west of Quito Road. Sunland Park homes bear Saratoga mailing
addresses. Sunland Park residents frequent shopping areas and
parks in Saratoga west of Quito Road.
Proposals
1. The City shall encourage the homeowners' assooiation to
inform the residents of the provisions of the Saratoga
City Code, and urge compliance with the code as feasible,
GF-
Exh~JJit liB"
recognizing that many of these are legal non-conforming
lots.*
2. The property owners shall participate, through formation of
an assessment district, in improvements specified by the
City to Quito Road, Purdue Drive, and McCoy Avenue.
Improvements to Quito may be deferred until further study
is completed.**
*
Proposal 1 should also be added to the Housing Element, page 53
of the Basic Data Report.
** Proposal 2 should also be added to the Circulation Element,
page 60, of the Basic Data Report.
