FROM: Suzanne Davis, PlannerSD APPROVED BY: Curtis S. Williams, Planning DireC RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission: Forward the request to pre-zone the property R-A (residential-agricultural) to the City Council with a recommendation for approval. CODE REQUIREMENTS As required by the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) the Loughmiller property must be pre-zoned prior to its being annexed into the Town of Los Altos Hills. The Planning Commission's recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for final action. BACKGROUND The Planning Commission approved a site development permit for a new residence and variances to allow grading over a property line and the maximum development area to be exceeded on December 10, 1997. The Commission forwarded the application to the City Council with a recommendation for approval of a related parcel merger and annexation of the portion of the property that is presently within Santa Clara County. The City Council considered the application on January 7, 1998, and approved the parcel merger and annexation. Staff has prepared the application for annexation and the urban service area amendment to be submitted to LAFCO by February 18, 1998. DISCUSSION The property consists of two contiguous parcels, one in the Town and one in Santa Clara County (the County parcel was previously two lots that were merged in May 1996). The property within the County will be annexed into the Town and the Urban service Area will be amended to include the land. Following annexation, the two lots will be merged and building permits can be issued for construction of the new residence. Prior to annexation, the County parcel must be pre-zoned. Staff is recommending that the property be designated R-A,residential agricultural. This is the zoning designation for all surrounding properties other than permanent open space. It is also the current zoning designation for the .50 acre lot that is within the urban service area and Town limits, and which will be merged with the County parcel. Approval of the pre-zoning is necessary before the urban service area can be amended and the property annexed. Once these two actions are completed the two parcels can be merged. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Staff has determined that the annexation and related urban service area amendment is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in Planning Commission February 25, 1998 Lands of Loughmiller Page 2 accordance with Section 15319(b) for annexations of individual small parcels of the minimum size for facilities exempted by Section 15303. The approved single family residence is exempt from CEQA under Section 15303(a). The Santa Clara County Planning Department concurs with this assessment. An environmental information form has been completed for submittal to the County with the annexation application. Staff is available to answer any questions from the Commission or any member of the community.
