The Town Council approved a contentious mixed-use development near Los Gatos High School, featuring 30 residential units and commercial space. Despite the Planning Commission's earlier backing, the project faced scrutiny, particularly regarding children's safety near the site. The approval, secured by a 3-2 vote, utilized a builder's remedy, permitting deviations such as exceeding height limits in exchange for affordable housing units. While design elements respected local architecture, environmental considerations were mandated, influencing the construction timeline and operational standards to mitigate impacts.
