2. NEW BUSINESS
2.1 Consideration of Policies Relating to Requests for Subdivisions
Variances, and Permits in the Town's Urban Service Area or
Sphere of Influence
Planning Director Jamison presented an overview of the Town's
incorporated area, urban service area, and sphere of influence. She
indicated that these three distinct concepts were important in
determining both a general approach for how the Town addresses
growth within these areas and the Town's position on the proposed
Quarry Hills subdivision and smaller applications such as the two
County referrals on the Council's agenda at the regular meeting later in
the evening.
Mr. Peter McSweeney, President of the San Antonio Hills
Homeowners Association, indicated that they were currently working
with the County and the City of Los Altos to formulate additional
regulations in the form of an overlay district to control development
in the San Antonio Hills Area East of Highway 280. These restrictions
would be more stringent than the County's current regulations and

more stringent than Los Altos regulations. This overlay district is
being formulated to preserve the area and to limit over-development
of lots. Mr. McSweeney noted that the Homeowners Association
would be interested in working out a similar set of regulations for the
portion of the San Antonio Hills that is within the Los Altos Hills
Urban Services Area.
After Council discussion, it was the consensus of the Council that staff
would write a letter to the County, addressed primarily to Dianne
McKenna, indicating that the Town believes that the San Antonio
Hills Homeowners Association is the agency from which the County
should request input on development-related issues within San
Antonio Hills. It was also the consensus of the Council that staff
would return to the Council with the process to be undertaken for
including the Lands of Quarry Hills and other future development
areas in the Town's Urban Service Area.
