Los Gatos Boulevard housing projects and SB 330 vesting
Summary
The Luxe and Arya projects on Los Gatos Boulevard keep their vested rights after the council applied a court ruling allowing unlimited 90-day resubmission windows. Residents packed the hearing to object to building heights of up to nine to eleven stories next to single-family homes, and the council committed to negotiating with the Arya developer on the Ace Hardware site after litigation ends. This does not approve either project — full entitlement review continues.

Impact analysis
Litigation over the 90-day issue has cost the town about $204,000 so far, and an appeal could roughly double that plus expose the town to the applicants' attorney fees and potential $10,000-per-unit Housing Accountability Act penalties.
The two developers gain certainty that their projects can continue through review with vested rights preserved.
Nearby residents fear property value losses, traffic, safety risks, and a nine-to-eleven-story building out of scale with single-family neighborhoods.
