RESOLUTION NO. 1237
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF THE TOWN
OF LOS ALTOS HILLS APPROVING AND ADOPTING A SUBAREA PLAN
ELEMENT FOR THE CHAPARRAL WAY AREA AS PART OF THE LOS
ALTOS HILLS GENERAL PLAN
WHEREAS, on January 2 , 1974 the City Council of the City of the
Town of Los Altos Hills approved and adopted a General Plan entitled
THE LOS ALTOS HILLS GENERAL PLAN (herein referred to as the "General
Plan") ; and,
WHEREAS, the General .Plan provides for the development of plans
for sub-areas, which, when adopted, become part of the General Plan;
and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has held at least one public
hearing on the proposed Subarea Plan Element for the Chaparral Way
Area and has made its report thereon to the City Council as required
by Section 65356 .1; and,
WHEREAS , in accordance with the provisions of law, a public
hearing thereon has been held,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED as follows :
1. The City Council of the City of the Town of Los Altos Hills
hereby approves and adopts the following Subarea Plan Element and
hereby does amend and implement the General Plan by adding thereto
and as a part thereof, the Subarea Plan Element for the Chaparral
Way area which reads as follows :
SUBAREA PLAN ELEMENT
CHAPARRAL WAY SUBAREA
This Subarea Plan Element of the Los Altos Hills General
Plan includes a section for Chaparral Way area as shown on
• •
Exhibit #1, attached hereto and incorporated herein.
CHAPARRAL WAY:
The boundary of the Subarea Plan for the Chaparral
Way is shown on Exhibit #1 . The current problems of the
Subarea Plan area are;
1. The effective use of land is being hampered by a
lack of precise criteria under which the area can
develop.
2. Development of properties is increasing the drainage
and erosion problems of the area.
3. Increased development is also threatening wildlife
and decreasing the amount of natural vegetation.
The land within the Chaparral Way Subarea is sensi-
tive to the intensity of land use and grading due to the
wildlife, natural vegetation, steepness and susceptibility
to erosion of the terrain. Because of this sensitivity,
the area requires the consideration of the following stan-
dards when determining the land use intensity and improve-
ments :
1 . Due to the instability of the existing soils,
residences should be located on relatively flat
areas, i.e. , less than 20% slope of the natural
ground.
2 . The rural atmosphere should be maintained by the
heavy use of landscape screening with native vege-
tation.
3 . Since the soil is highly susceptible to erosion,
impervious surfacing should be limited to minimize
storm water . runoff.
4. Residences shall be located away from any drainage
channels .
5. Terracing of slopes shall be kept to a minimum.
6 . All drainage channels that receive storm water
from improved areas shall be improved to accept
excess drainage either with an underground
g g
-2-
• •
system or by other means consistent with the
rural nature of the area. The improved drainage
channel shall discharge to a storm drain collec-
tion pipe, a paved street with a gutter or Adobe
Creek.
7. A storm drain system (as shown on Exhibit #2 ,
attached hereto and incorporated herein) shall
be placed in Chaparral Way to collect storm
waters from properties which drain onto Chaparral
Way. The storm drain system ishall extend the
full length of Chaparral Way and connect to Adobe
Creek in the vicinity of the Chaparral Way/Moody
Road intersection.
8 . As properties develop or subdivide, the properties
involved should be required to install a storm
drainage system from the properties to the nearest
existing storm drain in Chaparral Way. If a storm
drain system doesn't exist in Chaparral Way, the
storm drain shall extend from the developed or sub-
divided property to Adobe Creek via Chaparral Way.
9 . If a property that is being developed or subdivided
is not required to install storm drainage facilities,
then each parcel involved in the subdivision shall
be required to join a future storm drainage assess-
ment district.
10 . All new residences shall be connected to the sani-
tary sewer system.
11. All Site Development applications shall be reviewed
by the Planning Commission.
12 . The circulation standards should complement the Land
Use Element Standards by minimizing impervious sur-
facing, disruption to the terrain and intrusion
into the area. Circulation and engineering stan-
dards on Chaparral Way shall remain essentially un-
changed until property owners along Chaparral Way
request improvement or the City Council determines
-3-
it is in the best interest of the public welfare
and safety to improve Chaparral Way. The follow-
ing principles will apply during development:
a) Except for emergency use, Chaparral Way
will not at any time be used as a vehi-
cular connection between Moody Road and
Altamont.
b) The Town will take necessary steps to
retain the option of connecting upper
Chaparral Way to Altamont which is only
to be acted upon if future need arises .
To ensure the preservation of wildlife and natural
vegetation and to minimize erosion, extensive use of con-
servation easements is recommended. Conservation ease-
ments should be established in the following areas :
1. Natural drainage channels.
2 . Heavily vegetated areas.
3. Land with a slope greater than 40% .
4. Wildlife trails .
REGULARLY passed and adopted this 19th day of September, 1979 .
