TOWN OF LOS GATOS

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 08/18/2026
ITEM NO: 04
DATE: August 12, 2026
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Chris Constantin, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Approve and Ratify the Accounts Payable Check Registers and Payroll Reports
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Accounts Payable Check Registers dated July 31, 2026 and August 7, 2026 and ratify and approve the Payroll Report dated August 7, 2026
FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval and ratification of the reports will have no additional fiscal impact. The reports document $3,000,711.96 in payments previously issued, consisting of $1,996,317.96 in accounts payable payments and $1,004,394.00 in payroll payments. Staff represents that all payments were charged to accounts authorized in the Town Council approved budgets and were within available appropriations.

STRATEGIC PRIORITY:

This item supports the Town’s amended 2025 to 2027 Top Strategic Priority to ensure prudent financial management, under the Fiscal Stability Core Goal.

BACKGROUND:

Pursuant to Town Municipal Code section 2.30.020 (d) payroll warrants need not be audited by the Town Council prior to payment. Payrolls shall be presented to the Town Council for ratification and approval at the regular meeting after delivery of the payroll warrants.

The Town Code does not provide specific direction on accounts payable. However, Government Code Section 37208 provides the following guidance:

Page 149 ends

ITEM NO. 4.

PAGE 2 OF 3
SUBJECT: Accounts Payable Check Registers and Payroll Reports DATE: August 12, 2026
(a) Payroll warrants or checks need not be audited by the legislative body prior to payment.

Payrolls shall be presented to the legislative body for ratification and approval at the first meeting after delivery of the payroll warrants or checks. (b) Warrants or checks drawn in payment of demands certified or approved by the city clerk as conforming to a budget approved by ordinance or resolution of the legislative body need not be audited by the legislative body prior to payment.
(c) Notwithstanding subdivisions (a) and (b), budgeted payrolls and demands paid by warrants or checks may be presented to the legislative body for ratification and approval in the form of an audited comprehensive annual financial report.

DISCUSSION:

Administrative Services staff presents biweekly payroll reports to the Council on consent, as prescribed in the Municipal Code.

Although not specifically required under Municipal Code or the Government Code, it is considered good practice to report on checks paid by a government agency. As such, staff provides accounts payable check registers, along with payroll reports, on a biweekly basis as part of the consent calendar for regular council meetings.

Accounts payable and payroll for the following periods have been audited and approved by staff for the following payments:

Type Check Date Amount
Accounts Payable July 31, 2026 $ 1,529,713.47
Accounts Payable August 7, 2026 $ 466,604.49
Payroll August 7, 2026 $ 1,004,394.00
Combined Accounts Payable
and Payroll Total
$ 3,000,711.96
ALTERNATIVES:

The Council may request clarification or correction of a specified register and continue consideration of that portion of the item. Because the payroll warrants have already been delivered, staff recommends that any requested correction be narrowly identified and returned promptly for Council ratification and approval.

CONCLUSION:

Presenting the payroll reports for Council ratification and approval complies with the Town Code and Government Code. Presenting the accounts payable registers provides additional transparency and Council oversight as an administrative best practice.

TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Chris Constantin, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Appoint Voting Delegate and Alternate for the League of California Cities Annual Conference the League of California Cities Annual Conference Scheduled for September 23 – 25, 2025, in Anaheim, California RECOMMENDATION: Appoint Mayor Rob Moore as the Town’s Voting Delegate and Council Member Matthew Hudes as the Alternate Voting Delegate for the League of California Cities Annual Conference scheduled for September 23-25, 2026, in Anaheim, California.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The action of appointing a voting delegate does not have a direct fiscal impact. However, there are costs associated with Council Members’ participation in the Annual League Conference. The adopted FY 2026–27 Operating Budget includes sufficient appropriations in the Town Council budget to cover these conference expenses.

STRATEGIC PRIORITY:

There is no direct strategic priority associated with this action.

BACKGROUND:

Each year, the League of California Cities holds an annual conference to address key legislative, social, fiscal, and service issues affecting California municipalities. A key component of the conference is the annual business meeting, where League members take action on proposed resolutions. These resolutions help guide cities and the League in efforts to improve the quality, responsiveness, and vitality of local government in California.

SUBJECT: Appoint Voting Delegate and Alternate for the League of California Cities Annual Conference the League of California Cities Annual Conference DATE: August 18, 2026
DISCUSSION:

The League of California Cities Annual Conference is scheduled for September 23-25, 2026, in Anaheim. The General Business Meeting is scheduled for Friday, September 25, 2026, at the Anaheim Convention Center.

To better facilitate the voting process during the annual business meeting, participating cities and towns are asked to designate a primary voting delegate and, optionally, an alternate if the primary is unable to attend or perform voting duties. The voting delegate is typically the Town’s appointed representative or alternate. Vice Mayor Rob Moore and Mayor Matthew Hudes, who will be attending the conference, have agreed to serve as the Town’s voting delegate and alternate, respectively.

It has been the Town’s past practice to have the appointed voting delegate determine the Town’s position based on resolution discussion and feedback at the League Annual Business Meeting.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:

This action is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act.

TO: Mayors, Council Members, City Clerks, and City Managers RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Sept. 23-25, 2026 Anaheim Convention Center
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.

Taking place on Friday, Sept. 25, 2026 the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.

To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.

Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.

Following council action, please submit your city’s delegates through the online submission portal by Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2026. When completing the Voting Delegate submission form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.

Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre-conference communications with voting delegates.

Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration opens June 2.

For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and Council Action Advised by September 1, 2026

alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.

Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.

Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.

Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the Anaheim Convention Center, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, Sept. 23, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Sept. 24, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Sept. 25, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.

The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo.

Please share these procedures and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals that your council designates as your city’s voting delegate and alternates.

Once again, thank you for submitting your voting delegate and alternates by Tuesday, Sept. 1. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

1. One City One Vote. Each member city has a right to cast one vote on matters pertaining to Cal Cities policy.

2. Designating a City Voting Representative. Prior to the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo, each city council may designate a voting delegate and up to two alternates; these individuals are identified on the voting delegate form provided to the Cal Cities Credentials Committee.

3. Registering with the Credentials Committee. The voting delegate, or alternates, may pick up the city's voting card at the voting delegate desk in the conference registration area. Voting delegates and alternates must sign in at the voting delegate desk. Here they will receive a special sticker on their name badge and thus be admitted to the voting area at the General Assembly.

4. Signing Initiated Resolution Petitions. Only those individuals who are voting delegates (or alternates), and who have picked up their city’s voting card by providing a signature to the credentials committee at the voting delegate desk, may sign petitions to initiate a resolution.

5. Voting. To cast the city's vote, a city official must have in their possession the city's voting card and voting tool; and be registered with the credentials committee. The voting card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates but may not be transferred to another city official who is neither a voting delegate nor alternate.

6. Voting Area at General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

7. Resolving Disputes. In case of dispute, the credentials committee will determine the validity of signatures on petitioned resolutions and the right of a city official to vote at the General Assembly.

Sixty days before the
Annual Conference
and Expo, Cal Cities
members may submit
policy proposals on
issues of importance
to cities. The resolution must
have the concurrence of at least
five additional member cities or
individual members.

How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.

The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.

The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.

Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.

Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.

Who’s who
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.

Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.

The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.

Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.

Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.

During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.

Cal Cities policy
development is a memberinformed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.

For more information visit www.calcities.org/general-assembly Prior to the Annual Conference and Expo
Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions
Committee considers
all resolutions. General
Resolutions approved1 by
either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee are next
considered by the General Assembly.

General resolutions not approved, or
referred for further study by both a
policy committee and the Resolutions
Committee do not go to the General
Assembly. All Petitioned Resolutions
are considered by the General
Assembly, unless disqualified.2
During the Annual Conference and Expo
1 The Resolution Committee can amend a general resolution prior to sending it to the General Assembly. 2 Petitioned Resolutions may be disqualified by the Resolutions C Page 168 ommittee according to Cal Cities Bylaws Article VI. Sec. 5(f).

TO: Cal Cities Members
RE: Cal Cities 2026 Resolution Packet
Sixty days before the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Cal Cities members may submit resolutions on issues of importance to cities. This year, Cal Cities received one resolution by the July 25 deadline.

The attached packet contains the proposed resolution, background information, supporting letters from cities and city officials, and an analysis of the resolution by Cal Cities. The packet includes detailed information on the resolution process and the next steps for the resolution.

We encourage each city council to consider the resolution and determine a position so your voting delegate can represent your city’s position on the resolution.

Voting Delegates: City councils must appoint a voting delegate to vote during the General Assembly. Each city may also appoint up to two alternate delegates. If your city has not already done so, please appoint your voting delegate by Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2026. The voting delegate packet contains more information.

The 2026 General Assembly will be held Friday, Sept. 25, at 8:30 a.m. in the Anaheim Convention Center during the Annual Conference and Expo.

For questions about resolutions, voting delegates, or the General Assembly, please contact Zach Seals.

Referred to: Housing, Community, and Economic Development Policy Committee WHEREAS, California cities have historically been responsible for adopting general plans and zoning regulations, reviewing housing development proposals, and providing or coordinating the streets, water, wastewater, public safety, parks, transportation, and other infrastructure and services necessary to support responsible, environmentally sound, and well-planned residential growth; and
WHEREAS, the League of California Cities is dedicated to protecting and expanding local control for municipalities across the state to ensure their orderly growth and development; and
WHEREAS, the League of California Cities recognizes that local zoning is a primary function of cities and an essential component of home rule, and that a city’s general plan should guide its land use planning and strategic decision-making free from pre-emption by the state; and
WHEREAS, increasingly prescriptive statewide housing mandates and development approval requirements can override locally adopted plans, zoning standards, and public review procedures without adequately accounting for differences that exist in each unique jurisdiction in infrastructure capacity, water availability, wildfire and evacuation risks, environmental constraints, fiscal impacts, public service needs, and community priorities; and
WHEREAS, California’s housing goals can be more effectively advanced through state funding, streamlined environmental requirements, and voluntary partnerships that support housing production while preserving the authority of locally elected officials to determine how and where housing is best planned and approved; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the General Assembly of the League of California Cities, assembled during the Annual Conference in Anaheim, California, on September 25, 2026, that the League of California Cities support the development and advancement of a state constitutional amendment or other legislative, policy, or ballotbased strategies that restore and strengthen local authority over housing and land use matters within municipal boundaries, including general plans, housing elements, zoning, density, design and development standards, project siting, and the approval or denial of housing development applications; and

Background Information for Resolution
Source: City of Murrieta
Background:

California cities are responsible for planning residential growth, adopting general plans and zoning regulations, reviewing development proposals, and providing or coordinating the infrastructure and public services necessary to support new housing. Since 2010, the State has enacted more than 500 housing-related laws that have increasingly shifted housing and land use authority away from local governments. These laws have expanded by-right development, limited locally adopted standards and review processes, and established enforcement mechanisms, including the builder’s remedy, that may override local plans and zoning. Although these measures are frequently presented as solutions to housing affordability, many increase development capacity or restrict local review without delivering the meaningful production of housing needed to address the housing crisis.

At the same time, the State has continued to prioritize increased development capacity without adequately accounting for the infrastructure, public services, economic realities, and safety measures necessary to support housing growth.

State mandates often fail to reflect local conditions, including roadway and utility capacity, water availability, wildfire exposure, environmental limitations, fiscal impacts, and the availability of essential services. Cities are consequently required to accommodate additional housing while receiving no funding or assistance to address the resulting infrastructure and service demands.

Local elected officials are directly accountable to the residents who experience the effects of development decisions and are responsible for balancing housing production with infrastructure capacity, public safety, environmental protection, fiscal sustainability, and community needs. Cities of all types in California have been grappling with this dynamic, ranging from urban to rural, coastal to inland, small to large, northern to southern, voicing concerns to legislative representatives with minimal responsiveness. This is an issue of statewide concern that needs the strength and diversity of the League of California Cities to pursue a long-term solution.

The proposed resolution directs the League of California Cities to establish a statewide working group to evaluate a constitutional amendment or other legislative, policy, or ballot-based strategies to restore and strengthen local authority over housing and land use decisions. The working group would be tasked with developing a more balanced framework that preserves the State’s role in establishing broad housing goals and enforcing constitutional, civil rights, fair housing, building, life-safety, and environmental requirements, while restoring meaningful local authority to allow cities to determine how statewide housing 9

ITEM NO. 5.
2026 Resolution Packet
objectives should be implemented in a manner that reflects local conditions and community priorities while continuing to support responsible housing production.

As the primary statewide organization representing California cities, the League is uniquely positioned to lead this effort. Its established policy, legal, legislative, communications, and advocacy networks enable it to convene municipalities, evaluate potential strategies, conduct legal and fiscal analyses, build consensus, engage stakeholders, and coordinate with statewide decision-makers. League leadership would help ensure that any recommendation reflects the collective interests of California municipalities and would provide the credibility, organizational capacity, and statewide reach necessary to advance a viable strategy.

Mr. Gabe Quinto, President
League of California Cities
1400 K Street, Suite 400
Sacramento, CA 95814
Subject: Support for the City of Murrieta's Resolution Establishing a Working Group to Evaluate a State Constitutional Amendment or Other Initiative to Restore Local Housing and Land Use Authority Dear President Quinto:

I am writing in my individual capacity as Mayor of the City of Temecula to express my strong support for the City of Murrieta's proposed resolution for consideration by the General Assembly of the League of California Cities at the 2026 Annual Conference.

The proposed resolution presents an important opportunity to thoughtfully evaluate the appropriate balance between California's statewide housing objectives and the constitutional principle of local governance. Establishing a statewide working group to examine a potential constitutional amendment, legislative reforms, or other policy initiatives will provide a meaningful forum to assess how local authority over housing and land use decisions can be strengthened while continuing to address the State's housing challenges.

Cities are uniquely positioned to understand the needs, opportunities, and constraints of their communities. Local elected officials are accountable to the residents they serve and are best equipped to make land use decisions that reflect a community's character, infrastructure capacity, economic development goals, environmental stewardship, and long-term vision. Equally important, local governments bear the primary responsibility for protecting public safety. Decisions regarding housing density, transportation, emergency access, wildfire preparedness, evacuation routes, police and fire service capacity, water availability, and critical infrastructure are inherently local matters that require the knowledge and judgment of those who serve their communities every day.

While the State has an important role in addressing California's housing needs, a collaborative approach that respects local expertise and preserves meaningful local discretion will produce stronger, safer, and more sustainable communities. The proposed working group offers an opportunity to evaluate policies that achieve these shared objectives while restoring an appropriate balance between state direction and local authority.

ITEM NO. 5.

League of California Cities Staff Analysis on Resolution No. 1 Staff: Brady Guertin, Legislative Advocate
Committee: Housing, Community, and Economic Development Summary:

Resolution No.1 states that the League of California Cities (Cal Cities) will:

1. Support the development and advancement of a state constitutional amendment or legislative, policy, or ballot-based strategy that restores and strengthens local authority over housing and land use matters, including general plans, housing elements, zoning, density, design and development standards, project siting, and the approval or denial of housing development applications.

Pursuant to the resolution, the strategy should preserve the state’s authority to set broad, statewide housing goals and enforce civil rights, fair housing, building safety, and environmental standards while protecting local control by preventing the state from compelling the approval of developments that conflict with local requirements, override local zoning or density standards, or overturn local land use decisions where a city has planned for and maintained sufficient capacity to meet its housing obligations.

2. Consider establishing a statewide working group or other appropriate committee(s) to evaluate and develop a proposed constitutional amendment or other legislative, policy, or ballot-based strategies to restore and strengthen local authority over housing and land use matters.

The resolution states: “conducting legal, fiscal, and policy analyses; engaging cities and other stakeholders; and building a statewide coalition of proponent supporters in preparation for the November 2030 General Election, or within another reasonable time period.” Background:

As provided in the background information, the city of Murrieta is sponsoring this resolution in response to concerns over state laws that have increasingly reduced city discretion over housing and land use decisions, including legislation that requires ministerial or by-right approvals for housing projects, limits the application of local development standards, and strengthens state enforcement mechanisms against local governments.

Additionally, the city of Murrieta, in its background information, maintains that these legislative efforts have not resulted in sufficient housing production to address California's housing shortage and have not adequately accounted for 24

Page 194 ends

ITEM NO. 5.
local infrastructure, public service needs, public safety, market, and fiscal considerations.

The resolution states that California’s housing goals are better advanced through state funding, streamlined environmental requirements, and voluntary partnerships, while preserving local authority over how and where housing is best planned and approved.

Consideration of the resolution may be informed by a brief examination of how the California Constitution allocates authority between the state and cities with respect to land use decisions.

The constitution grants cities the power to adopt local laws to protect the public’s health, safety, and welfare. This grant is called the “police power,” which is the basis for local land use regulation. The constitution grants charter cities the additional power to adopt local laws affecting “municipal affairs.” This power, commonly referred to as “home rule,” is based on the principle that a city, rather than the state, is in the best position to identify and satisfy the needs of the local community.

The constitution’s broad grant of police power contains a significant limitation.

Local law adopted under the police power is not valid if it “conflicts” with state law. A local law “conflicts” with state law when it regulates the same “field” in which the Legislature has stated its intent to occupy. In that case, state law is said to “preempt” the local law and it cannot be enforced.

An ordinance adopted by a charter city under the municipal affairs power cannot be enforced if it affects a “matter of statewide concern.” The subjects that have been identified as “matters of statewide concern” have changed over the years due to economic, social, and political circumstances.

Since the 1960s, the state has enacted numerous laws that limit or preempt aspects of local land use and zoning authority. These laws include the Fair Employment and Housing Act, Housing Element Law, Housing Accountability Act, Density Bonus Law, Permit Streamlining Act, accessory dwelling unit laws, California Environmental Quality Act, and others. In recent years, the state has enacted several laws that Cal Cities was the leading opposition force against, as many of the proposals pre-empted local land use authority, limited public review, and constrained local flexibility. In support of its housing and land use legislation, the Legislature has cited a statewide housing crisis and the need for increased housing production at all income levels while asserting that a uniform approach to local land use decision-making is required. 25

ITEM NO. 5.

Discussion:

The resolution does not prescribe a specific policy mechanism. The eight letters in support recommend creating a working group or committee to evaluate potential approaches, including legislative proposals, constitutional amendments, or ballot initiatives to strengthen local authority over housing and land use matters.

A discussion of a strategy to restore and strengthen local authority over housing and land use matters will need to consider the California Constitution’s framework for both preemption of police power enactments and municipal affairs, discussed above. It will also need to determine whether changes to the California Constitution will be proposed, and whether they constitute an amendment or a revision, which require different processes.

A constitutional revision is a multistep process blending legislative consensus, voter support, and on occasion, a constitutional convention. It requires significant public engagement.

A constitutional amendment would require a ballot initiative, which includes gathering enough valid signatures to qualify for the ballot, building large coalitions to support election efforts, and campaigning to voters to support the initiative. This process can involve significant costs. In the last major election for ballot initiatives in 2024, proponents spent $8-$18 million to qualify for the ballot and spent nearly $700 million for the full election cycle, averaging out to about $100 million per ballot initiative.

Cal Cities has been engaged in ballot advocacy for over 20 years. In the early 2000s, Cal Cities developed a ballot advocacy infrastructure that included forming an issue political action committee, fundraising, establishing a network of regional managers, and building a coalition with other organizations to ultimately advocate on a ballot measure. Ballot advocacy requires the approval of the Board of Directors with a supermajority vote.

In the Legislature, Cal Cities plays an active and influential role to ensure that local flexibility and autonomy in the land use and housing space is maintained by engaging on dozens of bills every legislative session to ensure that cities' voices are heard at the state Capitol. Below, you will find Cal Cities “Existing Policy” on local control, housing, and land use policies.

Fiscal Impact
The resolution itself would not have a significant direct fiscal impact. However, depending on what actions follow, the fiscal costs could be significant. 26

Page 196 ends

ITEM NO. 5.

Existing Cal Cities Policy
Vision
To be recognized and respected as the leading advocate for the common interests of California's cities.

Mission Statement
To expand and protect local control for cities through education and advocacy to enhance the quality of life for all Californians.

We Believe
• Local self-governance is the cornerstone of democracy. • Our strength lies in the unity of our diverse communities of interest. • In the involvement of all stakeholders in establishing goals and in solving problems.
• In conducting the business of government with transparency, openness, respect, and civility.
• The spirit of honest public service is what builds communities. • Open decision-making that is of the highest ethical standards honors the public trust.
• Cities are vital to the strength of the California economy. • The vitality of cities is dependent upon their fiscal stability and local autonomy.
• The active participation of all city officials increases the League's effectiveness.
• Partnerships and collaborations are essential elements of focused advocacy and lobbying.
• Ethical and well-informed city officials are essential for responsive, visionary leadership and effective and efficient city operations.

Zoning
Cal Cities believes local zoning is a primary function of cities and is an essential component of home rule. The process of adoption, implementation and enforcement of zoning ordinances should be open and fair to the public and enhance the responsiveness of local decision-makers. State policy should leave local siting and use decisions to the city and not interfere with local prerogative beyond providing a constitutionally valid procedure for adopting local regulations. State agency siting of facilities, including campuses and office buildings, should be subject to local notice and hearing requirements in order to meet concerns of the local community. Cal Cities opposes legislation that seeks to limit local authority over parking requirements.

Housing Element
Housing issues should be addressed in the general plan as other planning issues are. The housing element should be prepared for the benefit of local 27

Page 197 ends

ITEM NO. 5.
governments and should have equal status with the other elements of the general plan.

Encourage Full Community Participation
Foster an open and inclusive community dialogue and promote alliances and partnerships to meet community needs.

Well-Planned New Growth
Recognize and preserve open space, watersheds, environmental habitats, and agricultural lands, while accommodating new growth in compact forms, in a manner that:
• De-emphasizes automobile dependency;
• Integrates the new growth into existing communities;
• Creates a diversity of affordable housing near employment centers; • Provides job opportunities for people of all ages and income levels.

SUBJECT: Adopt Omnibus Ordinance
DATE: August 18, 2026
An omnibus ordinance is a standard mechanism used to consolidate multiple minor amendments into a single action. This approach promotes efficiency and avoids the need for multiple separate ordinances addressing largely non-substantive changes. On August 4, the Town Council considered and voted unanimously to introduce the Omnibus Ordinance.

DISCUSSION:

The proposed omnibus ordinance includes amendments across several sections of the Municipal Code. These changes generally fall into the following categories:
 Correcting typographical and grammatical errors.
 Clarifying existing language to improve readability and interpretation.  Updating cross-references within the Municipal Code.
 Aligning with current State and Federal law.
 Consistency with existing administrative practices.
 Update the references to current Town Position titles.

The Town Code Sections proposed for amendment are:
 Section 1.40.105, Satisfaction of lien/special assessment - update position title to reference Administrative Services Director.
 Section 2.30.025, Delegation of certain duties – update position title to reference Town Treasurer, Administrative Services Director, and Town Manager or designee  Section 2.30.035, Delegation of Town Clerk and Town Treasurer Authority – update position title to reference Administrative Services Director and Town Clerk.  Section 2.30.295, Powers and duties – Generally – clarify the Town Manager’s supervisorial responsibilities.
 Section 2.30.295(2), Powers and duties – Generally – clarify the supervision of employees for the Town Manager.
 Section 2.30.295(5), Powers and duties – Generally – clarify attendance requirements for Town Manager at Town Council meetings.
 Section 2.30.620, Filing Campaign Statements – update position title to reference Town Clerk.
 Section 2.30.945, Same - Meetings – update the Personnel Board meeting requirements to state that meetings will occur as needed rather than annually.  Sections 2.50.010, Office of the Director of Finance established – update position title to reference Administrative Services Director.
 Section 14.10.010, Definitions – update position title to reference Administrative Services Director.
 Section 14.70.070(r)(3), Sidewalk vending standards – replace reference to “pushcart” with “vending device” for internal consistency.

 Section 14.100.065(g), Violations – correct a clerical error by changing the crossreferenced Code section from 14.100.070 to 14.100.050.  Section 15.90.045, Reporting requirements for funds – update position title to reference Administrative Services Director.
 Section 18.10.035, Nonessential or unauthorized use of water – delete this section because the underlying urgency ordinance has expired.
 Section 19.10.027(1), Animals in parks – revise service animal provisions to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, which allows service animals to be off leash.  Section 23.30.010, Definitions – update position title to reference Administrative Services Director.
 Section 23.30.020(b)(3), Bonds and insurance required – allow the Town Manager or designee to determine appropriate liability insurance coverage amounts based on circumstances.
 Section 23.30.020(c), Bonds and insurance required – tie insurance and bonding requirements to project risk rather than project value.  Section 25.10.030, Finance Director designated Collector– update to reference Administrative Services Director as designated Tax and License collector.  Section 25.30.010, Definitions – update definition of “Tax Administrator” to reference the Administrative Services Director.
 Section 25.50.020(a), Definitions – update definition of “Administrator” to reference the Administrative Services Director.

Adopting the proposed amendments will ensure that the Town Code remains internally consistent, legally accurate, and easy to administer.

CONCLUSION:

The omnibus ordinance represents routine housekeeping necessary to maintain a clear, accurate, and functional Town Code. Adoption of this ordinance will improve Code clarity and usability without introducing substantive policy changes COORDINATION:

DATE: August 6, 2026

SUBJECT: Authorize the Town Manager to Execute a Second Amendment to the Agreement with Sun Ridge Systems, Inc. to Extend Software Support Services, Add the Collaborate Data Sharing Module, and Establish Compensation for Amended Services in an Amount Not to Exceed $330,000
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the Town Manager to execute a Second Amendment to the agreement with Sun Ridge Systems, Inc. to extend software support services, add the Collaborate Data Sharing module, and establish compensation for amended services in an amount not to exceed $330,000.

SUBJECT: Authorize the Town Manager to Execute a Second Amendment to the Agreement with Sun Ridge Systems, Inc. to Extend Software Support Services, Add the Collaborate Data Sharing Module, and Establish Compensation for Amended Services in an Amount Not to Exceed $330,000
DATE: August 6, 2026
BACKGROUND:

In 2019, the Police Department entered into a five-year agreement with Sun Ridge Systems, Inc. for a Computer-Aided Dispatch and Records Management System. The Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Records Management Systems (RMS) are considered critical infrastructure to any law enforcement agency. This CAD/RMS structure serves as the core systems by which staff documents calls for service and self-initiated activity; write police reports; process and prepare police reports for prosecution; maintain warrants; manage investigations; track chain of custody for evidence; and manage resources during emergency and non-emergency responses.

In 2024, the Department amended the agreement with Sun Ridge Systems, Inc. The proposed action is a Second Amendment to extend software support services and add the Collaborate Data Sharing module.

DISCUSSION:

The Police Department currently uses Sun Ridge Systems, Inc for its Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Records Management System (RMS) and needs to continue its ongoing maintenance and support services. Sun Ridge Systems Inc. offers a secure network platform with controlled access to enable approved law enforcement agencies to review and share records.

Additionally, the Department identified law enforcement agencies throughout Santa Clara County that also deploy Sun Ridge Systems Inc. as their CAD/RMS system. Because Sun Ridge Systems, Inc. is used by most Santa Clara County law enforcement agencies, the Collaborate Data Sharing module is a commonly used service option. Collaborate integrates into the current CAD/RMS system to strengthen interoperability capabilities to ensure the effective management and recording of resources during emergency and non-emergency responses and assist in investigations with Santa Clara County law enforcement partnerships.

The Department requests an amendment to the existing Sun Ridge Systems, Inc. agreement to include an additional year of software support for $57,234 and to add the Collaborate Data Sharing Software module to the current CAD/RMS interface system, with a one-time setup fee and one year of service support in the amount of $12,400.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends that the Town Council authorize the Town Manager to execute a Second Amendment to the agreement with Sun Ridge Systems, Inc. to extend software support

services, add the Collaborate Data Sharing module, and establish compensation for amended services in an amount not to exceed $330,000.

ALTERNATIVES:

The Department could amend the agreement to include only the software support for an additional year without the added integration module of Collaborate. Staff does not recommend this alternative in order to strengthen interoperability with local law enforcement jurisdictions.

COORDINATION:

This report was prepared in coordination with the Town Attorney’s Office and Finance Department.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:

This is not a project defined under CEQA, and no further action is required.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT ITEM NO: 8
DATE: July 25, 2019
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Authorize the Town Manager to Purchase a Replacement Computer Aided Dispatch and Records Management System from Sun Ridge Systems, Inc. in the amount of $525, 000
RECOMMENDATION:

Authorize the Town Manager to purchase a replacement Computer Aided Dispatch and Records Management System from Sun Ridge Systems, Inc. in the amount of $525, 000.

BACKGROUND:

Computer Aided Dispatch ( CAD) and Records Management Systems ( RIMS) are considered critical infrastructure to any law enforcement agency. These products serve as the core systems by which staff documents calls for service and self -initiated activity; write police reports; process and prepare police reports for prosecution; maintain warrants; manage investigations; track chain of custody for evidence; and manage resources during emergency and non -emergency responses. In addition, data warehoused within CAD and RMS can be assessed, evaluated, and analyzed to make data -driven operational, tactical, strategic, and financial decisions to better serve the community.

In 2011, existing CAD/ RMS vendor Tiburon informed the Department that the existing platform would reach end -of -life in 2014 and suggested that the Department consider upgrading to a newer platform. The Town of Los Gatos and the City of Sunnyvale were offered the opportunity to combine operating systems to help mitigate the cost of the new system. A cost -sharing agreement was entered by both agencies for the purchase of the new shared platform.

In May 2013, the cost -sharing agreement was amended and executed to reflect that both agencies would transition to Tiburon' s new product, " IQR." Due to low performance by IQR, PREPARED BY: Sarah Tada

SUBJECT: Authorize the Town Manager to Purchase a Replacement Computer Aided Dispatch and Records Management System from Sun Ridge Systems, Inc. in the amount of 525, 000.

DATE: August 6, 2019
expedite report writing, and enhance internal cross -training while remaining on the cutting edge of CAD/ RMS technology.

CONCLUSION:

Staff recommends that the Town Council authorize the Town Manager to enter into an agreement for the purchase of RIMS from Sun Ridge Systems Inc. in an amount not to exceed 525, 000 ( Attachment 1).

ALTERNATIVES:

Alternatively, the Town Council could direct staff to delay replacement equipment. The Los Gatos Monte Sereno Police Department does not recommend this alternative because the current CAD/ RMS has reached the end of useful life and manages a multitude of critical functions of the Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding for this project has been designated in the 2019/ 2020 Capital Improvement Program Budget. The purchase of RIMS and initial equipment would be a one-time purchase. Ongoing annual maintenance, estimated to be $ 45, 000, is contained in adopted 2019/ 2020 Police Department Operating Budget. RIMS offers the option of a lease -purchase plan at 5% interest over either 3 or 5 years with annual payments due in advance of the lease year.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:

This is not a project defined under CEQA, and no further action is required.

ITEM NO. 7.

Sun Ridge Systems Software Support Services Agreement
This is a description of the software support, maintenance, and update/upgrade services to be provided by Sun Ridge Systems, Inc. (“SRS”) to the City of Los Gatos, Los Gatos, CA (“Licensee”) as part of a Software Support Services Agreement (“Agreement”). This Agreement covers all RIMS public safety software (Software) licensed by the Licensee and is effective on September 2, 2026.

Under this agreement SRS agrees to provide the following services to Licensee:

1. Coverage Hours. SRS will provide a toll-free phone number and dedicated email address for support purposes during normal service hours. Normal service hours are defined as Monday-Friday, 8AM-5PM PST, except for New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, Day after Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day (“common holidays”).

However, for instances where the Licensee’s system is completely inoperable due to an SRS software problem (“critical problems”) preventing basic system operation, service will be available 24 hours, 7 days a week, common holidays included. Examples of critical problems include:
- RIMS is down/not responding on multiple workstations
- Cannot create a call for service (CAD Incident)
- Cannot issue a case number
- Unable to access NCIC
- Other issues that will not allow the user to complete critical tasks Licensee will have taken reasonable measures prior to contacting SRS support during non-service hours including:
- Verified that the issue is not related to just 1 workstation - Restarted the workstation in question
- Contacted in-house IT support if the issue is related to network or server errors - Verified the issue is critical enough that it cannot wait until normal support hours

2. SRS Response to reported problems. SRS agrees to provide service and assistance as expeditiously as possible as follows:
a. Most problems will be resolved with the initial phone call or email. b. For problems that cannot be immediately resolved, SRS will work to resolve the problem based on the severity of the problem and the urgency reported by Licensee. ● For critical problems, SRS personnel will work with Licensee until the situation is resolved. ● For problems that are not critical problems that have a lesser though continuing impact on operations of Licensee SRS will endeavor to provide a solution or workaround within 72 hours of the problem being reported to SRS by the Licensee.
● For other problems SRS may, at its discretion, either issue a near term "fix release" of the product or include the fix in the next scheduled product update.

EXHIBIT 1 Page 253
ITEM NO. 7.

3. Licensee equipment and software responsibilities. Licensee agrees to allow SRS to remotely connect to Licensee’s system when a problem is reported. SRS uses BeyondTrust remote access software for secure installation and follow-on support services. BeyondTrust software provides superior security and does so over an ordinary internet connection via an SRS server that hosts a BeyondTrust security hardware device.

If Licensee does not allow unattended access, the SRS response to a service request may be delayed until a responsible party of the Licensee allows access. Once remote access is obtained, SRS will examine data files, investigate reported problems, and provide updates and corrections as necessary.

4. Provision of software updates. SRS will provide all new enhanced and updated versions of software licensed to Licensee at no additional cost. This software will be provided with detailed installation instructions for installation by Licensee. If desired, Licensee may retain SRS to perform any installation at additional cost to be determined on a per case basis. Updates are distributed via download from the SRS ftp web site. SRS will not be obligated to provide service for release versions that are more than two annual release versions older than the current release.

5. Cost. The cost of the services and software to be provided under this Agreement in the amount of $57,234.00.

6. Late Payment. In addition to any other amounts for which Licensee is liable under this Agreement, Licensee agrees to pay to SRS a late charge equal to one percent (1%) of the amount due if Licensee fails to pay SRS any amount that is due and owing pursuant to this Agreement within sixty (60) days after Licensee’s receipt of an invoice from SRS or (60) days after the expiration of the previous Agreement, whichever comes later. In addition, any invoiced amounts that are due and owing under this Agreement which Licensee fails to pay to SRS within ninety (90) days after Licensee’s receipt of an invoice from SRS shall thereafter bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum or the highest interest rate allowed by applicable law, whichever is less.

7. Term. The term of this Agreement shall be one year from the date stated in the initial paragraph and shall be annually renewed for another year upon payment of invoice. Payment for the year is due in advance the day the services begin. Non-payment of the support invoice within 60 days as described in Section 6 shall be cause for terminating or suspending the Agreement at the discretion of SRS.

8. Termination. Licensee may terminate this Agreement with or without cause upon ninety (90) days written notice to SRS. If terminated, Licensee is entitled to a prorated refund for the service days not consumed beginning on the last day of the month the written notice is received by SRS to the end of the remaining term of the Agreement.

9. Limitations. SRS agrees to provide support only for public safety application software provided by SRS. Other software used by Licensee (word processing, spreadsheet, etc.) is not included in this Agreement. PC and network operating system software and Microsoft SQL Server database system software is similarly not included, although SRS may assist Licensee in isolating problems to this software. (SRS reserves the right to charge for diagnostic services in the event it is determined that

Page 254 ends

ITEM NO. 7.
the reported issue is not attributable to RIMS.) Also specifically excluded is responsibility for administration, support, or maintenance of Licensee’ server, computer network, operating systems, or database (Microsoft SQL Server).

Licensee may request that SRS provide support services outside the limitations of this Support Services Agreement. If SRS agrees to provide any requested additional support services, such support services will be provided at SRS’s current rate and under terms and conditions that SRS may require.

This Agreement does not include equipment maintenance or assistance in diagnosing hardware problems including but not limited to PCs, printers, network, scanners, and other computer peripheral devices with the exception that SRS will assist Licensee in determining whether a problem is RIMS application software in nature.

Not applicable.

REQUEST FOR CONTINUANCE:

On August 12th, Appellant 1, WVMA submitted a request to continue the public hearing. A copy of the request is attached as Attachment 32. The other appellant is agreeable to a continuance and their response is attached as Attachment 33. It is the Town Council’s decision regarding whether or not to continue the public hearing. If the Town Council would like to consider this request, staff recommends that the Town Council open the public hearing solely for the purpose of hearing public testimony regarding the request for a continuance. If the Town Council opts not to consider the request, staff recommends holding the appeal hearing.

BACKGROUND:

A. Project Site History
On January 10, 1990, the Planning Commission approved a CUP (U-89-11) to allow the improvement and expansion of an existing institution for a religious observance facility (Exhibit 3). The 1990 approval included a new library and hallway addition, in addition to parking and landscaping modifications. The property was occupied by the Jehovah’s Witnesses, Inc. until 2019, when a Certificate of Use and Occupancy was issued to the West Valley Muslim Association (WVMA). Since WVMA has occupied the property, an electrical permit and plumbing permit have been issued by the Town. No additional permits that would result in an expansion to the existing square footage have been applied for or issued.

On March 11, 2020, the Planning Commission approved a modification to the existing CUP (U-20-001) to allow for expanded hours of operation from 10:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., for 30 days annually during the month of Ramadan for religious services (Exhibit 4). The applicant’s Written Description stated: “. . . Prayer services for the month of Ramadan would begin at approximately 8:30 p.m., and we would like to request use of the facility until 11:00 p.m.

This is to allow remaining members of the congregation to finish services and leave the facility. We anticipate between 10 to 25 members using the facility until 11:00 p.m. for Ramadan.”
Per the minutes of the March 11, 2020, Planning Commission meeting, the applicant stated:
“The extended hours of operation would be from 10:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., and for that amount of time they expect possibly 5-10 cars to leave prior to 11:00 p.m., so it would not be extensive.” The existing CUP and the proposed CUP modification do not include a limit on the number of evening attendees or cars exiting the property.

ITEM NO. 8.

PAGE 3 OF 23
SUBJECT: 16769 Farley Road/U-24-010
DATE: August 13, 2026
On March 25, 2026, the Planning Commission considered the request for approval to modify an existing Conditional Use Permit for expanded hours of operation in an institution for religious observance (Attachments 1 through 5). The Planning Commission received the staff report, testimony from the applicant, input from the public, and continued the item to a date certain of March 31, 2026.

On March 31, 2026, the Planning Commission voted to continue the item to a date certain of April 22, 2026, to allow an opportunity for the applicant and the neighborhood group to discuss the possibility of mediation (Attachments 6 through 9).

On April 22, 2026, the Planning Commission discussed the item and received testimony from the applicant and a representative of a neighborhood group. The Planning Commission continued the item to a date certain of May 13, 2026, with direction to staff to bring back a revised resolution and conditions of approval that incorporated the modifications provided by the Planning Commission (Attachments 10 through 14).

On May 13, 2026, the Planning Commission discussed the item and received testimony from the applicant and the public regarding the alternative conditions of approval considered by the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission continued the item to a date certain of May 21, 2026 (Attachment 15 through 18).

On May 21, 2026, the Planning Commission discussed the item and voted four-to-one to approve the request for a modification of an existing Conditional Use Permit, subject to additional modifications to the resolution and conditions of approval (Attachment 19 through 22).

On June 1, 2026, the decision of the Planning Commission was appealed to the Town Council by two separate parties (Attachments 25 and 26):

1. Razi Mohiuddin, West Valley Muslim Association; and

2. Farley Road Neighborhood Coalition.

On the appeal forms, both appellant parties indicated that there was an error or abuse of discretion by the Planning Commission and that the decision of the Planning Commission is not supported by substantial evidence in the record.

Pursuant to Town Code Section 29.20.275, any interested person, as defined by Section

29.10.020, may appeal to the Council any decision of the Planning Commission. The notice of appeal must state specifically how there was an error or abuse of discretion by the Planning Commissioner or how the Planning Commission’s decision was not supported by substantial evidence in the record. (Demonstrating that a decision was not supported by substantial evidence in the record is one way of establishing an abuse of discretion.) For

Page 259 ends

ITEM NO. 8.

PAGE 4 OF 23
SUBJECT: 16769 Farley Road/U-24-010
DATE: August 13, 2026
residential projects, an interested person is defined as “a person or entity who owns property or resides within 1,000 feet of a property for which a decision has been rendered and can demonstrate that their property will be injured by the decision.” Both appellant parties meet the requirements.

Pursuant to Town Code Section 29.20.280, the appeal must be heard within 56 days of the Planning Commission hearing, in this case by July 27, 2026.

On June 16, 2026, the Town Council continued the hearing to the August 18, 2026, Town Council meeting due to the time required to prepare the materials associated with the appeal and staff analysis (Attachments 23 and 24). Both appellants agreed to this.

Pursuant to Town Code Section 29.20.295, in the appeal and based on the record, the appellant bears the burden to prove that either there was an error or abuse of discretion (which includes making a decision that was not supported by substantial evidence in the record) by the Planning Commission. If neither is proved, the appeal should be denied. If the appellant meets the burden, the Council shall grant the appeal and may modify, in whole or in part, the determination from which the appeal was taken or, at its discretion, return the matter to the Planning Commission. If the basis for granting the appeal is, in whole or in part, information not presented to or considered by the Planning Commission, the matter shall be returned to the Planning Commission for review.

B. Law Regarding Conditional Use Permits
A CUP runs with the land, and a successor in interest succeeds to any benefits that the original owner enjoyed under the permit issued. The successor in interest is also subject to the limitations in the permit and can assert no greater rights than the original permittee enjoyed (County of Imperial v. McDougal (1977) 19 Cal.3d 505, 510).

Town Code Sections 29.20.180 through 29.20.200 and following address the issuance of CUP’s.

Town Code Section 29.20.190 provides that a CUP may be granted if the deciding body finds that:
1) The proposed uses of the property are essential to the public convenience or welfare; 2) The proposed uses will not impair the existing use of the zone; 3) The proposed uses would not be detrimental to public health, safety, or general welfare; and
4) The proposed uses of the property are in harmony with the various elements or objectives of the general plan and the purposes of this chapter.

Page 260 ends

ITEM NO. 8.

PAGE 5 OF 23
SUBJECT: 16769 Farley Road/U-24-010
DATE: August 13, 2026
With regard to requested modifications of existing CUP’s, Town Code section 29.20.305 provides that “applications for modifications are heard anew and the deciding body may impose new conditions or modify previous conditions.” The same findings apply.

C. Federal Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act The Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (“RLUIPA”) is codified at 42 United States Code Section 2000cc, et seq., and contains several protections for religious institutions with regard to zoning and landmarking laws. RLUIPA, in pertinent part, prohibits government from imposing or implementing a land use regulation in a manner that imposes a substantial burden on religious exercise unless the burden is in furtherance of a compelling governmental interest and is the least restrictive means of furthering that governmental interest [42 U.S.C. § 2000cc(a)(1)(A)–(B)].

A “substantial burden” must impose more than a mere inconvenience on religious exercise (Guru Nanak Sikh Soc’y v. County of Sutter (2006) 456 F.3d 978, 988). In fact, “for a land use regulation to impose a ‘substantial burden’ it must be ‘oppressive’ to a ‘significantly great’ extent.” (San Jose Christian College v. City of Morgan Hill (2004) 360 F.3d 1024, 1034). A “substantial burden” exists where the governmental authority puts “substantial pressure on an adherent to modify his behavior and to violate his beliefs.” (Guru Nanak Sikh Soc’y, supra, at 988).

The substantial burden inquiry is “fact-intensive” and considers “the degree to which a land use decision is likely to impair the ability of a person or group to engage in the religious exercise in question.” (Statement of the Department of Justice on the Land Use Provisions of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA), U.S. Department of Justice 6 (June 13, 2018) https://www.justice.gov/crt/page/file/1071251/dl).

The following factors are relevant to assessing whether a substantial burden exists:

1. The size and resources of the burdened party;

2. The actual religious needs of an individual or religious congregation;

3. The level of current or imminent space constraints;

4. Whether alternative properties are reasonably available;

5. The history of a complainant’s efforts to locate within a community; and

6. The absence of good faith by the zoning authorities.

If a land use regulation imposes a “substantial burden,” on religious exercise, the local agency must show that the regulation is the least restrictive means of furthering a compelling governmental interest. [42 U.S.C. § 2000cc(a)(1)(A)–(B)]. “Compelling interests” constitute only those interests of the “highest order,” and typically involve substantial threats to public health, peace, and welfare. (Statement of the Department of Justice on the

Page 261 ends

ITEM NO. 8.

PAGE 6 OF 23
SUBJECT: 16769 Farley Road/U-24-010
DATE: August 13, 2026
Land Use Provisions of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA), supra, at 7).

If a local agency demonstrates a compelling interest, the local agency must also demonstrate that its regulation is the least restrictive means of furthering the compelling interest. This means that the local agency must show that its interests cannot be achieved by narrower actions that burdens the religious use to a lesser degree.

In addition, RLUIPA requires the following:

1. Equal terms. “No government shall impose or implement a land use regulation in a manner that treats a religious assembly or institution on less than equal terms with a non-religious assembly or institution.” [42 U.S.C. § 2000cc(b)(1)]. However, the equal terms provision does not require “that anything allowable for any institution has to be allowed for a church,” rather the inquiry “should focus on what ‘equal’ means in the context.” (Centro Familiar Cristiano Buenas Nuevas v. City of Yuma (9th Cir. 2011) 651 F.3d 1163, 1172) [explaining “a ten-member book club is equal to a ten-member church for purposes of parking burdens on a street, but unequal to a 1000-member church”].)

2. Nondiscrimination. “No government shall impose or implement a land use regulation that discriminates against any assembly or institution on the basis of religion or religious denomination.” [42 U.S.C. § 2000cc(b)(2)].

3. Exclusions and limits. “No government shall impose or implement a land use regulation that:
a. Totally excludes religious assemblies from a jurisdiction; or b. Unreasonably limits religious assemblies, institutions, or structures within a jurisdiction.” [42 U.S.C. § 2000cc(b)(3)(A)–(B)].

Town Code Section 29.20.295 governs the conduct of Town Council appeal hearings in the event of appeals from Planning Commission decisions. It provides:

In the appeal, and based on the record, the appellant bears the burden to prove that there was an error or abuse of discretion by the Planning Commission as required by Section

29.20.275. If neither is proved, the appeal shall be denied. If the appellant meets the burden, the Council shall grant the appeal and may modify, in whole or in part, the determination from which the appeal was taken or, in its discretion, return the matter to the Planning Commission. If the basis for granting the appeal is, in whole or in part, information not presented to or considered by the Planning Commission, the matter shall be returned to the Planning Commission for review.

Therefore, the Town Council has the options of:

1. Denying the appeal(s);

Page 262 ends

ITEM NO. 8.

PAGE 7 OF 23
SUBJECT: 16769 Farley Road/U-24-010
DATE: August 13, 2026

2. Granting the appeal(s) and modifying the conditions of approval; or

3. Granting the appeal(s) and remanding this application to the Planning Commission with specific instructions (and the application MUST be remanded if the appeal was granted based on new information).

Each option requires that the Town Council make specific findings regarding:

1. The basis for determining error or abuse of discretion; and

2. If applicable, the new information that was provided that requires remand to the Planning Commission.

For that reason, based on the Town Council’s direction, staff will return with a proposed resolution for adoption.

DISCUSSION:

A. Project Summary
The applicant is requesting approval to modify an existing CUP to allow for the following modifications to the current hours of operation:
 Hours of operation shall not begin prior to one and a half hours before sunrise or extend past 10:30 p.m., seven days a week to accommodate indoor, morning, and nighttime prayer services;
 During the 30-day month of Ramadan, indoor nighttime prayer services shall not extend past 11:30 p.m. whenever sunset is prior to 7:30 p.m., or until 12:00 a.m. whenever sunset is after 7:30 p.m.; and
 In addition, the applicant is seeking an additional 30 minutes for exiting the property after services.

When reviewing a CUP, the deciding body should consider the information in the applicant’s letter of justification (Attachment 1); however, the key consideration should be the proposed use since the CUP runs with the land and the operational details can change from owner to owner. The applicant’s letter of justification provides additional background on WVMA’s congregational prayer services and information on the religious practices of Ramadan (Attachment 1).

B. Planning Commission
On May 21, 2026, the Planning Commission discussed the item and voted four-to-one to approve the request for modification of an existing CUP, subject to the following modifications to the resolution and conditions of approval, provided in track changes (Attachment 28):

SUBJECT: 16769 Farley Road/U-24-010
DATE: August 13, 2026

1. Modify Section D. of the resolution to change all references from ‘night’ to ‘night and day.’

2. Add the following language to Section D. of the resolution:
“The conditions addressing serious vehicle and pedestrian safety risks in the neighborhood and those crafted to mitigate material sound and light pollution adversely affecting the lives of certain neighbors do not require significant costs to the mosque and are the least expensive means to address the compelling Town’s governmental interest in neighborhood preservation and protection as set forth in the land use element of the general plan.”

3. Add the following language after the word “single-family residences” in Section D. of the resolution:
“and the traffic and pedestrian safety issues affecting the larger neighborhood, more particularly identified in paragraphs i through v, as seen below.”

4. Modify Roman numeral i. of Section D. of the resolution to include reference to Conditions 12 and 30, in addition to modifying Roman numeral v. to reference Conditions 10 through 13, 23, 35, and 27.

5. Modify Condition 23, as reflected in the strikeout text:

Parking Lot Monitoring
For events anticipated to exceed available on-site parking, the applicant shall implement traffic management measures which may include parking attendants, directional signage, carpooling encouragement, or other measures. The applicant shall designate a person, volunteer, or parking attendant to monitor on-site parking during any service or event expected to generate attendance that may approach or exceed available on-site parking capacity, with training as available by an entity that provides this type of training. The monitor shall make reasonable efforts to ensure that:
a. All on-site spaces are utilized before attendees seek parking off-site. b. All vehicles parked on-site shall maintain emergency vehicle access.

review within six months of the final approval date and complete the construction improvements within one year of the final approval date. The parking lot expansion shall add 23 parking spaces or up to as many as possible based on compliance with Town Code standards. Within six months of the final approval date, the existing parking lot shall be repaired on a local basis so that cracks, bumps, or other anomalies do not unreasonably contribute to additional noise generation of passing vehicles. Thereafter, the parking lot shall continue to be maintained to avoid conditions like cracks and bumps which generate noise.

7. Modify Condition 24, as reflected in the strikeout and underlined text:

Driveway Operations
During events expected to generate traffic volumes that may result in queuing or neighborhood spillover, both driveways shall be used for exiting the property, with traffic attendants provided as necessary to facilitate circulation. Applicant shall make accommodations to facilitate access by public safety resources when necessary. The applicant is authorized required to remove the right turn only sign at the end of the egress driveway and install a left turn only sign. The applicant shall ensure that ingress and egress to neighboring driveways is preserved.

Landscape Plantings
For the purposes of sound and light mitigation, the applicant shall fill in any existing gaps in plantings or fencing by either planting a hedgerow to fill in gaps at perimeter fences adjacent residences, planting a variety of native trees and shrubs for the purpose of sound and light mitigation, or installing screens for those perimeters adjacent to residential uses, as approved by the Community Development Director within one year of the final approval date. If plantings are selected, they shall be a minimum size of three gallons, and the selected plantings shall grow two to four feet per year. The specific plantings shall be based on discussions with the applicant and the Community Development Director. The plantings shall be maintained at a height of eight feet.

Additionally, the applicant shall offer to provide plantings or moveable barriers to the neighbor across the street in order to reduce headlight intrusion into the residential property across the street.

C. Appeal to Town Council
I. On June 1, 2026, the decision of the Planning Commission was appealed to the Town Council by the applicant, Razi Mohiuddin, WVMA (Attachment 25). On the appeal form, the appellant indicated that there was an error or abuse of discretion by the Planning Commission and that the decision of the Planning Commission is not supported by substantial evidence in the record. The appellant’s reasoning is provided below:

1. Appellant: “The Commission imposed conditions that substantially burden WVMA's religious exercise without conducting the analysis required by the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (''RLUIPA") - no analysis of the burden to WVMA was considered, no compelling governmental interest was identified, and no least restrictive means analysis was performed. The Commission also violated RLUIPA's Equal Terms provision. WVMA, the only mosque in Los Gatos, was discriminated against by being treated on materially worse terms than every other similarly situated religious institution in Los Gatos.”
Staff Response: As discussed above, a condition of approval will be consistent with RLUIPA so long as:
a) It does not impose a “substantial burden” on religious worship;

Page 266 ends

ITEM NO. 8.

PAGE 11 OF 23
SUBJECT: 16769 Farley Road/U-24-010
DATE: August 13, 2026
b) If it does impose a “substantial burden” on religious worship, it is necessitated by a “compelling government interest” and is the “least restrictive means” of furthering that “compelling government interest;”
c) It treats religious uses on “equal terms” with non-religious assembly uses; d) It does not discriminate between religions; and
e) It does not exclude a religious use from the jurisdiction.

See response below regarding conditions mentioned in the appeal.

2. Appellant: “For each condition challenged herein, the Commission imposed conditions with little or no evidentiary support or acted on unverified and subjective neighbor complaints rather than objective evidence entered into the public record.

This does not meet the substantial evidence standard. Further, where WVMA submitted objective evidence - including a professional acoustic analysis - the Commission imposed conditions the evidence did not support.” Staff Response: The conditions of approval were imposed based on evidence in the record, which included public testimony. Public testimony that introduces specific, verifiable facts, measurements, or documented observations constitutes “substantial evidence” in support of a quasi-judicial decision.

3. Appellant: “Condition #7 – Annual Compliance Review
 Abuse of Discretion:
o Equal Terms Violation: No other religious institution in Los Gatos is subject to annual review of its religious observance, making this a plain equal terms violation. The Town's existing Code Compliance process under LGMC §29.20.310 is the established less restrictive mechanism used for every other institution, and no finding was made that it is inadequate. o Substantial Burden: The substantial cost and chilling effect of several Planning Commission annual reviews are a substantial burden for WVMA and its members. There is no compelling governmental interest in requiring a compliance review, especially given that WVMA has demonstrated its ability to operate lawfully during its busiest time of year (Ramadan), including for the past two years while the CUP amendment was pending. Even if some compelling governmental interest were present, numerous less restrictive means would further it (e.g., the Town's Code Compliance process, staff communication of any compliance concerns to the applicant, etc.).  Lack of Substantial Evidence: No objective evidence of past non-compliance by WVMA with its existing CUP obligations was entered into the public record (the Town Attorney agreed during the Commission proceedings that there is no limit on morning hours in the existing CUP). The condition rests on the possibility of

Page 267 ends

ITEM NO. 8.

PAGE 12 OF 23
SUBJECT: 16769 Farley Road/U-24-010
DATE: August 13, 2026
future non-compliance, which is speculative and prejudicial, not substantial evidence.”
Staff Response: Condition 25 of the CUP for Hillbrook School requires an annual compliance review by the Planning Commission. However, all other comparable uses require just one post-approval compliance review.

4. Appellant: “Conditions 12(a), 13, 15 - Restriction to ''Worship Services”  Abuse of Discretion:
o Substantial Burden: RLUIPA expressly prohibits the government from determining what constitutes religious exercise for a congregation. (42 U.S.C. §2000cc-5(7).) Restricting the facility to "worship services" before 8 a.m. and until 10:30 p.m. places the Town in precisely that role - requiring case-bycase determinations about whether each activity qualifies as worship. This modification sought only an hours extension. Restricting the scope of religious exercise that was freely permitted under the 2020 CUP, without any compelling interest finding or any attempt to address one through less restrictive means, imposes a new substantial burden beyond the scope of the modification.
o Equal Terms Violation: Such a restriction also violates RLUIPA's Equal Terms provision, as no other religious institution CUP in Los Gatos uses activity-type restrictions in place of objective operational hours language, making this a plain equal terms violation.
 Lack of Substantial Evidence: No objective evidence was entered into the public record that any specific religious activity conducted by WVMA-post-prayer fellowship, Quranic study, visiting scholar lectures - produces any measurable impact warranting restriction. These activities have been conducted lawfully under the 2020 CUP for years.”
Staff Response: This condition of approval was proposed because the application indicated that the extended times were needed for “prayer services” and was intended to match what was requested in the application. However, from a practical standpoint, it will be difficult for code enforcement staff to distinguish between “prayer services” and other activities.

5. Appellant: “Conditions 12(c), 13(a) - Sub-Fire Code Attendance Caps (720 general/ 869 Ramadan; Fire Code maximum 1,217)
 Abuse of Discretion:
o Equal Terms Violation: Staff confirmed on the record at the April 22, 2026, hearing that no other religious institution in Los Gatos is subject to a sub-Fire Code attendance cap. Capping attendance at the only mosque in Los Gatos at

Page 268 ends

ITEM NO. 8.

PAGE 13 OF 23
SUBJECT: 16769 Farley Road/U-24-010
DATE: August 13, 2026
a level materially below Fire Code limits while applying no equivalent cap to any comparable religious institution is a direct equal terms violation. o Substantial Burden: Limiting attendance is a self-evident substantial burden because it requires WVMA to turn away adherents to its faith where it would otherwise welcome them. There is no compelling governmental interest in restricting attendance below Fire Code limits, and to the extent the condition is intended to restrict street parking, the Town Attorney acknowledged during the Commission proceedings that it is not possible to impose a condition that will limit street parking. Less restrictive means are available to address any concerns (e.g., Fire Department occupancy limits) and address street parking concerns (e.g., Town-adopted parking restrictions).  Lack of Substantial Evidence: No objective safety, traffic, or parking analysis connecting a specific attendance number to a specific documented harm was entered into the public record. Staff acknowledged at the April 22, 2026, hearing that the Town cannot legally prevent on-street parking, meaning the attendance caps do not resolve the on-street parking concern used to justify them.” Staff Response: The Town contracts with the Santa Clara County Fire Department for review of planning applications. In March of 2025, the Santa Clara County Fire Department provided information to the Town that the occupancy limits for the property were 869 seated attendees and 1,217 standing attendees.

In July of 2026, the Santa Clara County Fire Department notified the Town that the previously communicated occupancy limits were inaccurate, and the new occupancy limits are 566 attendees. The revised occupancy limit is based on the Fire Department’s most recent records for the property when the space was previously occupied by the Jehovah's Witnesses Kingdom Hall. The Santa Clara County Fire Department has asked the applicant to submit an “Occupancy Load and Egress Analysis” to determine the present occupancy limits based on improvements that have been made to the interior of the building, including the removal of pews or other areas of fixed seats. The applicant has been in contact with the Santa Clara County Fire Department regarding this request.

One option for the Town Council to consider is to remove Conditions 12(c) and 13(a) since condition of approval 11 already requires compliance with Fire and Building Code occupancy limits. This option could be considered separately from, and is not related to, the information regarding the Fire Department’s new occupancy limits and request for an “Occupancy Load and Egress Analysis.”

6. Appellant: “Conditions 12(b) and 15 - Hours for "Other Activities" and Lot Closure Rule - "All Other Activities" by 10 PM
 Abuse of Discretion:

Page 269 ends

ITEM NO. 8.

PAGE 14 OF 23
SUBJECT: 16769 Farley Road/U-24-010
DATE: August 13, 2026
o Substantial Burden: The 2020 CUP contained no 10 PM lot-clearance rule or rule limiting the hours for other activities between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.

Imposing a new restriction that narrows existing permitted rights without a compelling governmental interest finding is a regression that RLUIPA prohibits as a "substantial burden". There is no compelling governmental interest in requiring the lot to be cleared earlier than is currently required, particularly given that this restriction would very likely lead to increased street parking, which the Commission and neighbors sought to minimize. No consideration of less restrictive means occurred, and cessation of all activity is almost certainly not the least restrictive means available to address whatever concern motivated the condition.
o Equal Terms Violation: Every other comparable religious institution CUP in Los Gatos permits gradual departure after services conclude without requiring the lot to be cleared at that same moment. Applying a uniquely restrictive lot-clearance deadline to WVMA alone is a direct equal terms violation.
 Lack of Substantial Evidence: No objective evidence was entered into the public record establishing that a 10 PM lot-clearance deadline mitigates any specific impact beyond WVMA's already-accepted 11 PM lot-clearance rule.” Staff Response: When a modification to a conditional use permit is sought, the existing conditional use permit is reviewed to see if any other changes are necessitated by the requested change. Because the applicant is seeking to extend the hours of operation and the parking lot is surrounded on all four sides by residences, it is reasonable to require that vehicles exit the parking lot before a specified time.

7. Appellant: “Condition 18- Food Vendor 20-Foot Setback  Abuse of Discretion:
o Equal Terms Violation: No comparable religious institution in Los Gatos is subject to a food vendor setback. As such, this condition violates RLUIPA's equal terms provision.
 Lack of Substantial Evidence: No noise measurement or any other objective evidence attributable to a food vendor at this facility was entered into the public record. In fact, no information was provided suggesting food vendors have been in any way problematic in the past.”
Staff Response: The condition was proposed by staff and approved by the Commission due to public comment received regarding noise concerns of the adjacent residences.

ITEM NO. 8.

SUBJECT: 16769 Farley Road/U-24-010
DATE: August 13, 2026

8. Appellant: “Conditions 19, 22, 33 - Layered Member and Public Communication Requirements
 Abuse of Discretion:
o Equal Terms Violation: No comparable religious institution in Los Gatos is subject to monthly member notices, 30-day advance written event notices, and public website calendar requirements, making this a plain equal terms violation.
o Substantial Burden: Requiring WVMA to provide this information in compliance with the layered requirements in the CUP-which multiple commenters during the Commission proceedings noted were confusing due to multiple conditions addressing similar or the same topic--creates a substantial administrative burden for WVMA. The condition was imposed to allow specific next-door neighbors to plan events at their homes and plan their vacation schedules. That is not a compelling governmental interest, and no attempt was made to identify less restrictive means.  Lack of Substantial Evidence: No objective evidence of a failure in WVMA's existing communication practices was entered into the public record to justify any of these requirements.”
Staff Response: The CUP for the La Rinconada Country Club includes conditions of approval that require annual neighborhood meetings, membership notice and maintenance of the Country Club’s website, and notice to affected neighbors with dates and times of sand deliveries. That said, the suggestion that the outreach and notice requirements be consolidated into one condition of approval is helpful, and staff is prepared to propose alternative language consolidating the communication and outreach requirements into one condition of approval.

9. Appellant: “Conditions 8, 20(a), and 21- Laws and Noise Ordinance Incorporated into CUP.
 Abuse of Discretion:
o Equal Terms Violation: Converting a civil noise or other infraction, for example, into grounds for CUP revocation is a consequence applied to no other religious institution in Los Gatos. This constitutes a clear equal terms violation.
o Substantial Burden: The Commission imposed a substantial burden on WVMA when it elevated any potential violation and the risk of a noise exceedance from a Municipal Code violation to a basis for potential revocation of the CUP. No compelling governmental interest exists in raising the stakes for a noise or other violation in this manner, and less restrictive means are available to address violations, including of the noise ordinance.

The Town's standard Code Compliance process is sufficient, as it is for every other institution.

ITEM NO. 8.

PAGE 16 OF 23
SUBJECT: 16769 Farley Road/U-24-010
DATE: August 13, 2026
 Lack of Substantial Evidence: WVMA commissioned a professional acoustic analysis by Salter & Co. (Project 25-0042) - the only independent expert measurement in the record - which found departure noise at all property line locations to be within ambient levels and below the Town's applicable 54 dBA nighttime standard. No noise reading was entered into the public record that demonstrated a violation of the Town's ordinance attributable to WVMA's operations. The neighbor's competing measurements were rebutted in the record for applying the wrong standard and for using incorrect meter settings.

Similarly, no evidence was submitted regarding any other potential violation of "all applicable laws," and certainly no least restrictive means was considered.” Staff Response: The Town Code applies regardless of whether the provisions are specifically referenced in conditional use permits. The Planning Commission felt that it was important to highlight these requirements in the conditions of approval. The CUP for the Faith Lutheran Church/Mariposa Montessori School includes a condition of approval that the property owner/church shall ensure that these uses comply with the requirements of the Town Code, including but not limited to, the requirements of the Town’s Noise Ordinance & Special Events Regulations.

10. Appellant: “Condition 23 - Parking Lot Monitor with Training Requirement  Abuse of Discretion:
o Equal Terms Violation: No comparable religious institution in Los Gatos is required to designate a trained parking monitor within its own parking lot, making this a self-evident equal terms violation.
o Substantial Burden: The requirement is a substantial burden because it requires WVMA to create a training protocol at substantial cost for members who direct traffic in an effort to minimize potential noise and disruptions to neighbors. It is also void for vagueness - no training entity, curriculum, or competency standard is identified, making compliance criteria indeterminate at the time of imposition. No compelling governmental interest was cited in requiring training, and in fact volunteer members have been monitoring the parking lot without incident. No attempt was made to minimize the restrictions imposed by this condition.
 Lack of Substantial Evidence: No objective evidence of a parking lot management failure at this facility was entered into the public record.” Staff Response: There was testimony at the Planning Commission regarding vehicle queuing on Farley Road that extends to Los Gatos Boulevard during Ramadan. The Planning Commission imposed this condition in order to assure that entry into and exit from the parking lot was efficient. If this condition is retained, it is recommended that the specific training requirements be identified. Town staff is not aware of other CUP’s which contain this type of training requirement.

DATE: August 13, 2026

11. Appellant: “Condition 24 - Left-Turn-Only Sign at Egress Driveway and Ensuring Ingress and Egress to Neighboring Driveways
 Abuse of Discretion:
o Substantial Burden: The condition imposes a substantial burden by requiring vehicles exiting the parking lot to turn left onto Farley Road, which then necessitates an unprotected left turn from Farley Road onto Los Gatos Blvd. - a high-speed arterial with no signal. Mandating this routing without any traffic engineering justification may itself introduce the hazard it purports to prevent, and no less restrictive alternative was considered. The left turn only requirement will also result in slowing down the exit process, especially when you consider that both ingress and egress driveways are required by the conditions to be used for exiting in the same direction. Combining this, especially with a 10 p.m. lot closure rule, will result in a substantial burden.

Additionally, it is void for vagueness and substantially burdensome, as it is unclear how WVMA is to ensure ingress and egress to neighboring driveways, especially as this condition is not limited to WVMA members. o Lack of Substantial Evidence: No objective traffic or safety data for the parking lot egress or the Farley Road/Los Gatos Blvd. intersection or for ingress and egress to neighboring driveways was entered into the public record. The condition rests entirely on generalized neighbor complaints about Farley Road congestion, which is not substantial evidence of a sitespecific safety hazard requiring this turn restriction.” Staff Response: Currently, there is signage on the property that requires a right turn out of the exit driveway. Residents raised concerns that this was causing an increase in traffic through the surrounding residential neighborhood rather than directing traffic to Los Gatos Boulevard. The Planning Commission imposed this condition in order to minimize traffic through the adjoining residential neighborhood.

Alternatively, the condition of approval could be revised to require that the existing signage be removed.

12. Appellant: “Conditions 26, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32 - Capital Improvement Conditions (parking expansion, landscaping, portable screening, fencing, pedestrian opening, lighting)
 Abuse of Discretion:
o Substantial Burden: These conditions impose substantial burdens on WVMA and its membership by requiring substantial outlays of capital on a defined schedule within short timelines, requiring WVMA to spend funds on capital improvements that it would otherwise have devoted to religious exercise ( e.g., programming). No compelling governmental interest was identified to justify imposing these requirements on an existing use that exists lawfully under all current Town requirements (including the noise ordinance). Even if

Page 273 ends

ITEM NO. 8.

PAGE 18 OF 23
SUBJECT: 16769 Farley Road/U-24-010
DATE: August 13, 2026
a compelling governmental interest existed, there was no attempt to find less restrictive means to address it.
o Equal Terms Violation: No comparable religious institution in Los Gatos has been required to undertake capital improvements as a condition of an hours modification, making this a self-evident equal terms violation.  Lack of Substantial Evidence: No objective evidence connecting any of these capital expenditures to a measurable impact of the modest hours extension request was entered into the public record. The Commission's own CEQA finding that this modification constitutes "a negligible change in hours of operation" is itself inconsistent with conditions that presuppose material parking, lighting, fencing, and pedestrian impacts – a change the Commission found negligible for environmental purposes cannot simultaneously justify significant capital improvement conditions premised on significant impacts. No noise reading or acoustical analysis was entered into the record showing that vehicles traveling at 10 to 15 miles per hour within a private parking lot produce noise that violates any Town standard - the only acoustic data in the record, the Salter study, showed compliance. Similarly, no light measurement was entered into the record establishing that headlight or lighting levels at any neighboring property line exceed any applicable standard. Neighbor descriptions of annoyance, without independent validation, are not substantial evidence for conditions requiring significant capital expenditures.”
Staff Response: The Planning Commission imposed these conditions of approval in order to minimize stated impacts to neighbors of light and noise.

II. On June 1, 2026, the decision of the Planning Commission was appealed to the Town Council by the Farley Road Neighborhood Coalition (Attachment 26). On the appeal form, the appellant indicated that there was an error or abuse of discretion by the Planning Commission and that the decision of the Planning Commission is not supported by substantial evidence in the record. The second appellant’s reasoning is provided below, followed by staff’s response. Additional information was provided by the appellant and included in Attachment 27.

1. Appellant: “There was an error or abuse of discretion by the Planning Commission:

The Planning Commission abused its administrative discretion by approving expanded operational hours based on limited, flawed, myopic, applicant-funded data snapshots without evaluating the property's historical operational baseline or prior entitlements. The applicant previously sought and obtained approval for operational hours in 2020. Because the applicant's underlying fundamental religious practices have remained substantially unchanged, the 2020 application established the appropriate baseline for evaluating operational needs and set operational precedent.

Page 274 ends

ITEM NO. 8.

PAGE 19 OF 23
SUBJECT: 16769 Farley Road/U-24-010
DATE: August 13, 2026
By permitting additional early-morning and late-night operating hours through the current CUP Modification, without requiring a comprehensive analysis of why those hours were not requested, evaluated, or conditioned in 2020, the Commission effectively authorized a piecemeal expansion of use without any corresponding data representative of the expansion. This decision constitutes an error in the application of zoning and land use standards and fails to adequately protect the surrounding residential neighborhood from increased operational impacts.” Staff Response: The project involves negligible expansion of use beyond existing conditions; the applicant proposes maintaining the existing structure with no increase in floor area. The use of the facility remains consistent with the March 11, 2020, Planning Commission approval as a religious institution. The applicant’s request for approval to modify the existing CUP is limited to the hours of operation.

No additional requested modifications to the CUP or existing structures are proposed.

2. Appellant: “The Planning Commission's decision is not supported by substantial evidence in the record: The Planning Commission's decision is not supported by substantial evidence in the record due to the Town relying on short-term, random traffic, noise, and operational studies funded by the applicant. These studies do not objectively represent actual peak-use conditions or real-world impacts, and therefore do not provide a reliable basis or substantial evidence for evaluating the impacts of the requested operational expansion. Independent studies should have been conducted during the facility's highest-intensity periods, including peak morning and evening hours, Ramadan (30 days) inclusive of the peak days/nights in that month, Friday prayer services, and events when traffic, parking demand, noise, light pollution, and neighborhood disruption are most likely to occur.” Staff Response: The site is currently used for religious observance and therefore will not result in an increase in traffic impacts or required parking beyond the current use. The use of the facility remains consistent with the March 11, 2020, Planning Commission approval as a religious institution. The applicant’s request for approval to modify the existing CUP is limited to the hours of operation. No additional requested modifications to the CUP or existing structures are proposed. Under the current conditions, vehicles enter and exit the property for multiple services until 10:00 p.m. for most of the year and until 11:00 p.m. during Ramadan. Because the parking lot capacity is 180 spaces, it is estimated that the number of vehicles currently entering and exiting the property is approximately 180 vehicles at the heavily attended services. The proposed modification would extend this use by onehalf hour for most of the year and for one hour during Ramadan, which is a negligible change in the hours of operation.

3. Appellant: “Additionally, the record demonstrates that the requested expansion extends beyond the operational parameters previously represented as necessary. In

Page 275 ends

ITEM NO. 8.

PAGE 20 OF 23
SUBJECT: 16769 Farley Road/U-24-010
DATE: August 13, 2026
its April 29, 2025, Letter of Justification (Exhibit 5), the applicant requested authorization of the following specific baselines:

Current Language: Maximum hours of operation shall not extend past 10:00 p.m., except for 30 days during religious services for the month of Ramadan, which shall not extend past 11:00 p.m.

Requested Modification: Maximum hours of operation shall not begin prior to 1.5 hours before sunrise, or extend past 10:30 p.m., except for 30 days during Ramadan until 11:30 p.m. (when sunset is prior to 7:30 p.m.) or until 12:00 a.m. (when sunset is after 7:30 p.m.).

Crucially, the applicant is now also requesting an additional 30-minute "vacate and dispersal window" to allow vehicles to exit the parking lot after the cutoff times.

Collectively, these changes increase the duration and intensity of activity on the site beyond the previously approved limits and exceed beyond the applicant's letter of justification.

Because the record lacks independent, objective evidence evaluating the cumulative impacts of these expanded operational hours and associated vehicle dispersal periods during peak-use conditions, the findings supporting approval are not available as substantial evidence.”
Staff Response: Condition 15 was added in order to provide clarity that the parking lot shall be vacated by 11:00 p.m. during general hours of operation when worship services end at 10:30 p.m., and within 30 minutes of the end of the last service during the seasonal late hours.

PUBLIC COMMENTS:

Written notice of the Town Council hearing was sent to property owners and tenants within 300 feet of the subject property. Public comments received between 11:01 a.m., Thursday, May 21, 2026, and 3:00 p.m., Thursday, August 13, 2026, are included as Attachment 30.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

For purposes of analyzing planning applications pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), local jurisdictions consider the existing “baseline” conditions (conditions in place at the time of the planning application) against the future conditions in the event the planning application is approved (Bloom v, McGurk, 26 Cal.App.4th 1307 (1994).) Currently, the WVMA use includes offering services for the five daily congregational prayers, which are approximately 10 to 15 minutes in length (Attachment 1). The request for a modification to the existing CUP does not request an increase in WVMA’s social activities.

The requested CUP modification does not modify these existing activities. The proposed modification would extend the current use by one-half hour for most of the year and for one hour during Ramadan, including an additional 30 minutes after the end of the service for all vehicles to exit the property, which is a negligible change in the hours of operation.

The number of daily services and social activities will not change. The applicant’s request for approval to modify the existing CUP is limited to the hours of operation. No additional requested modifications to the CUP or existing structures are proposed.

Staff has considered the proposed use against the baseline use and determined that the change in use is “negligible,” because the proposed uses are not changing – just the hours of operation.

As a result, the project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to the adopted Guidelines for the Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Section 15301: Existing Facilities. No significant effect on the environment will occur since the project uses an existing structure with no increase in floor area and the project involves negligible expansion of use beyond existing conditions. Furthermore, none of the exceptions to Categorical Exemptions set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply to this project. The use of the facility remains consistent with the March 11, 2020, Planning Commission approval as a religious institution.

CONCLUSION:

A. Recommendation if the public hearing is not continued It is recommended that the Town Council make the requisite findings of error or abuse of discretion and adopt a resolution (Attachment 30) granting the appeals of a Planning Commission decision to approve a request for modification of an existing CUP for expanded hours of operation in an institution for religious observance (West Valley Muslim Association) and modify specified conditions of approval. If the changes to the conditions of approval are substantial, staff will return with proposed conditions of approval at a future Town Council meeting.

DATE: March 20, 2026
FINDINGS:
▪ The project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to the adopted Guidelines for the Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15301: Existing Facilities.
▪ The project meets the objective standards of Chapter 29 of the Town Code (Zoning Regulations).
▪ As required by Section 29.20.190 of the Town Code for granting a Conditional Use Permit.

ACTION:

The decision of the Planning Commission is final unless appealed within ten days.

BACKGROUND:

A. Project Site History
On January 10, 1990, the Planning Commission approved a CUP (U-89-11) to allow the improvement and expansion of an existing institution for a religious observance facility (Exhibit 3). The 1990 approval included a new library and hallway addition, in addition to parking and landscaping modifications. The property was occupied by the Jehovah’s Witnesses, Inc. until 2019 when a Certificate of Use and Occupancy was issued to the West Valley Muslim Association (WVMA). Since WVMA has occupied the property, an electrical permit and plumbing permit have been issued by the Town. No additional permits that would result in an expansion to the existing square footage have been applied for or issued.

On March 11, 2020, the Planning Commission approved a modification to the existing CUP (U-20-001) to allow for expanded hours of operation from 10:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., for 30 days annually during the month of Ramadan for religious services (Exhibit 4). The applicant’s Written Description stated: “. . . Prayer services for the month of Ramadan would begin at approximately 8:30 p.m. and we would like to request use of the facility until 11:00 p.m.

This is to allow remaining members of the congregation to finish services and leave the facility. We anticipate between 10 to 25 members using the facility until 11:00 p.m. for Ramadan.”
Per the minutes of the March 11, 2020, Planning Commission meeting, the applicant stated:
“The extended hours of operation would be from 10:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., and for that amount of time they expect possibly 5-10 cars to leave prior to 11:00 p.m., so it would not be extensive.”
The existing CUP and the proposed CUP modification do not include a limit on the number of evening attendees or cars exiting the property.

B. Law Regarding Conditional Use Permits
A CUP runs with the land and a successor in interest succeeds to any benefits that the original owner enjoyed under the permit issued. The successor in interest is also subject to the limitations in the permit and can assert no greater rights than the original permittee enjoyed (County of Imperial v. McDougal (1977) 19 Cal.3d 505, 510).

Town Code Sections 29.20.180 through 29.20.200 and following address the issuance of CUPs.

Town Code Section 29.20.190 provides that a conditional use permit may be granted if the deciding body finds that:
1) The proposed uses of the property are essential to the public convenience or welfare; 2) The proposed uses will not impair the existing use of the zone; 3) The proposed uses would not be detrimental to public health, safety, or general welfare; and
4) The proposed uses of the property are in harmony with the various elements or objectives of the general plan and the purposes of this chapter.

With regard to requested modifications of existing CUPs, Town Code section 29.20.305 provides that “applications for modifications are heard anew and the deciding body may impose new conditions or modify previous conditions.” The same findings apply.

C. Federal Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act The Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (“RLUIPA”) is codified at 42 United States Code Section 2000cc, et seq., and contains several protections for religious institutions with regard to zoning and landmarking laws. RLUIPA, in pertinent part, prohibits government from imposing or implementing a land use regulation in a manner that imposes a substantial burden on religious exercise unless the burden is in furtherance of a compelling governmental interest and is the least restrictive means of furthering that governmental interest [42 U.S.C. § 2000cc(a)(1)(A)–(B)].

A “substantial burden” must impose more than a mere inconvenience on religious exercise (Guru Nanak Sikh Soc’y v. County of Sutter (2006) 456 F.3d 978, 988). In fact, “for a land use regulation to impose a ‘substantial burden,’ it must be ‘oppressive’ to a ‘significantly great’ extent.” (San Jose Christian College v. City of Morgan Hill (2004) 360 F.3d 1024, 1034). A “substantial burden” exists where the governmental authority puts “substantial pressure on an adherent to modify his behavior and to violate his beliefs.” (Guru Nanak Sikh Soc’y, supra, at 988).
