Los Gatos has filed a lawsuit to clarify the confusion surrounding builder's remedy applications after conflicting interpretations emerged about how developers can address incomplete submissions. State housing law specifies that developers must submit a full application within 180 days and have 90 days to rectify any issues. However, the town interprets this as a one-time period, while the California Department of Housing and Community Development states that successive 90-day periods are permitted. Mayor Hudes stresses the need for clarity to facilitate housing development efficiently and mitigate potential delays caused by indefinite application statuses.
Los Gatos is seeking judicial clarification on builder's remedy applications following a conflict with state interpretation of the timeline for correcting incomplete submissions.
Mayor Matthew Hudes emphasized that clear guidelines are necessary for efficient processing of housing applications to address the town's urgent housing needs.
The California Department of Housing and Community Development indicated that developers can have successive 90-day periods to resolve application issues, which could lead to indefinite delays.
The recent controversy arose when two projects in Los Gatos were labeled incomplete, prompting developers to claim unlimited time for corrections.
