WHEREAS, the Kosich Construction Company is requesting an

that portion of Assessor Parcel Numbers 386-23-041, 042 & 059
from Medium Density Residential (M-10) land use to Commercial
Retail {CR) land use per Exhibit "A"; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on
the proposed amendment on January 25, 1995 and following the
conclusion thereof, the Planning Commission recommended denial of
the General Plan Amendment to reclassify that portion of APNs
386-23-041, 042 & 059 from Medium Density Residential (M-10) land
use to Commercial Retail (CR) land use; and
WHEREAS, the City Council held a public hearing on the
proposed amendment on March 15, 1995 at which time all interested
parties were given a full opportunity to be heard and to present
evidence; and
WHEREAS, the City Council reviewed and considered the staff
report, minutes of proceedings conducted by the Commission
relating to the proposed amendment, and the written and oral
evidence presented to the City Council in support of and in
opposition to the proposed amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Council of the
City of Saratoga as follows:
1. By unanimous vote of the City Council the proposed
amendment to reclassify that portion of APNs 386-23-041, 042 &
059 from Medium Density Residential (M-10) land use to Commercial
Retail (CR) land use, is denied and the following findings have
been determined:
(a) The reclassification is inconsistent with the land
use policies set forth in the Saratoga General Plan and the
Triangle North Area Plan.
(b) There are no changed circumstances which would
make existing land use policies obsolete to recommend approval of
said reclassification. The City Council finds that the general
community welfare and good planning practices are best served by
1
retaining the existing medium density residential general plan
designation for this property.
