3.2 UPDATE TO TITLE 9 (SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE) OF THE LOS ALTOS
HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE. The Subdivision Ordinance consists of regulations
related to the subdivision of land within the Town of Los Altos Hills and were
enacted for the purpose of promoting orderly development of property and the
public health, safety, convenience and general welfare of Town residents. These
regulations insure that the development of land is consistent with the general
community objectives in the General Plan and the established rural character of the
Town. The Town has determined that an update to the Subdivision Ordinance is
necessary in order to bring the Town’s subdivision code into conformance with the
State Subdivision Map Act and to streamline and clarify the existing regulations.
