A developer is suing Los Gatos due to contentious application requirements for the Vista Capri builder's remedy project. This project includes a proposed eight-story apartment building with 119 units, 24 designated as lower-income. Despite efforts to negotiate with the town, the developer claims resistance to new housing has necessitated legal action. The town's Housing Element requires around 850 affordable units, yet only 40 have been approved across recent developments. Correspondence from the developer's attorneys suggests the town's handling of the application is unlawful, prompting the lawsuit for compliance with state housing laws.
Los Gatos LLC asserts that the town has approved less than 6% of the low-income units necessary according to its Housing Element, which requires around 850 affordable units.
The developer's plans include an eight-story apartment building with 119 units, of which 24 would be designated as lower-income. Features include a community roof deck and a barbecue area.
Los Gatos LLC has faced continued resistance from the town regarding new housing and has resorted to legal action to ensure compliance with state housing laws.
