On Wednesday, June 24, 2026, the Los Gatos Planning Commission will consider and provide a recommendation to the Town Council on proposed changes and additions to the Town’s Object Design Standards for Multi-Family and Mixed-Use Projects. More information, including the draft document, is available online at www.losgatosca.gov/3040/Objective-Design-Standards-Update-Projec.
About the project: The Los Gatos Objective Design Standards Update Project will lead to recommendations for additions and modifications to the 2023 Objective Design Standards for Qualifying Multi-family and Mixed-use Residential Development. This work is part of the larger effort to implement the Town’s adopted 6th Cycle Housing Element. Specifically, this effort will update the current Objective Design Standards to:
• Reflect the height and scale of development that the Town anticipates;
• Require smooth transitions between development of different height and scale;
• Ensure that new development is high-quality in terms of materials and detail;
• Regulate architectural style in a way that is specific and consistent with existing patterns;
• Acknowledge the input and priorities of the community; and
• Ensure that the Objective Design Standards are transparent and easy to interpret.
The public is encouraged to attend the Planning Commission meeting on June 24, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. to provide comments. Participate in the meeting either in person or remotely.
Community members may submit written comments to Sean Mullin at [email protected] for inclusion in the Planning Commission Staff Report, Addendum, or Desk Item. The deadline for all written correspondence is 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, June 24, 2026.
Meeting agendas are posted and publicly distributed no later than the Friday prior to each meeting date. The agenda, staff reports, and teleconference details will be available on the Town website at www.LosGatosCA.gov/AgendasAndVideos.
