Kicking Off the General Plan Update and Housing Element Update
The Town of Los Gatos updated its current General Plan eight years ago, and this Plan has served the community well. Now it’s time for an update to ensure the Plan remains successful and effective to address new issues that have arisen since its adoption.
The Los Gatos General Plan is the “constitution” for local development. The General Plan is the principal policy and planning document that includes goals and policies that guide development and conservation in Los Gatos. These goals and policies relate to all aspects of community life and growth. By State law, the General Plan must contain seven “elements,” often organized into chapters by element topics. These seven elements include:
- Land Use
- Transportation
- Housing
- Conservation
- Open Space
- Noise
- Safety
The Los Gatos General Plan also contains three optional elements – the Community Design Element, the Vasona Light Rail and Route 85 Element, and the Human Services Element. All of these elements, including the required elements listed above, comprise the current Los Gatos General Plan.
