The HR zone also provides for a variety of dwelling types where land assembly and a unified development scheme are more appropriate. You may contact the Town of Los Gatos Planning Department. Please contact the Planning Department for further information. The slope-density regulation will be utilized to assist in relating the intensity of development to the steepness of terrain in order to minimize grading, removal of vegetation, runoff, erosion, geologic hazards and fire hazards. I is the contour interval in feet.
L is the combined length of contour lines in feet.
S is the average slope. The maximum number of dwelling units allowed in a subdivision is determined by dividing the land area by the required minimum land area for each dwelling unit and rounding down to the next whole number. In calculating the allowable number of dwelling units in any subdivision, no parcel which can be further subdivided under this section shall be included in the net land area used in determining the maximum number of dwelling units allowed. However, if the development rights beyond 1 dwelling unit for such parcel are dedicated to the Town of Los Gatos, the parcel may be included. Once a map has been recorded showing a parcel of land subdivided under the rules of any of the HR zones, further subdivision of any lot or parcel included in that subdivision is restricted.
