LM DISTRICT<br />

4<br />

Town <strong>of</strong> <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Gatos</strong><br />

4.2 SITE DEVELOPMENT<br />

Landscaped setbacks are desired along main<br />

street frontages<br />

4.2.1 Provide special treatment for University<br />

Avenue setbacks<br />

a) Substantial landscaping in front setbacks is preferred.<br />

Landscaping with trees and flowers sympathetic<br />

to the adjacent residential neighborhood will assist in<br />

s<strong>of</strong>tening the industrial nature <strong>of</strong> the district, and provide<br />

a pleasant pedestrian environment.<br />

b) Parking within front setbacks may be allowed if<br />

access to parking spaces is from a driveway on the<br />

parcel and not directly from University Avenue. Similar<br />

restrictions will apply to Saratoga/<strong>Los</strong> <strong>Gatos</strong> Road<br />

and east-west streets in the district.<br />

c) Limited paving may be allowed within front setbacks,<br />

and shall be treated with special patterns or materials<br />

(e.g., brick, modular paving, brick banding with<br />

exposed aggregate concrete fields) to set the area apart<br />

from the adjacent sidewalk.<br />

d) Front setbacks for parcels that have double frontage<br />

(e.g., University Avenue and Industrial Way) shall<br />

be measured from University Avenue.<br />

4.2.2 Locate parking and outdoor work or storage<br />

areas away from the University Avenue and<br />

Blossom Hill Road frontages<br />
