RESOLUTION NO. 03-062
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SARATOGA
WHEREAS, the City of Saratoga City Council has determined that the Saratoga Zoning
Regulations that Expressly Prohibit Drive Through Windows in all commercial zones may
be too severe of a restriction in the CN Zone bounded by Lawrence Expressway and
Prospect A venue; and
WHEREAS, the City Council considered the matter at a duly noticed regular meeting at
which time all interested parties were given a full opportunity to be heard and to present
evidence; and
WHEREAS, the following findings have been determined:
. The proposed amendments to the zoning regulations are needed so that this
particular area is commercially competitive with the contiguous area with the City
of San Jose.
. That the proposed amendments will not be detrimental to the public health, safety
or welfare, nor be materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the
vicinity in that having drive through facilities in this area will not lead to cut
through traffic.
