Apartments back to commission
A planned apartment complex at 615 Blossom Hill Road comes back to the Planning Commission May 26. Commissioners requested that some parts of the plan be redesigned after they first looked at the plans in April.
The commission will also hear an application to put a retail building in the parking lot of a shopping center at the corner of Union Avenue and Los Gatos-Almaden Road.
Caltrans closing southbound lanes on Highway 17
Caltrans crews have started work on a retaining wall project on Highway 17 that will close one lane at certain times through the end of the summer.
The right lane of southbound Highway 17 will be closed weekdays from Madrone Drive to Summit Road from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday through Thursday and from 6 a.m. to noon on Friday. Work is expected to wrap up by September 30.
As part of a $2.5 million project, crews will build a 550-foot retaining wall along the hillside to fix landslide damage near the summit and prevent future slides.
Delay sought in 'no-kill' bill
South Bay cities--which may have to start sheltering their own stray animals instead of contracting with the Humane Society--got lucky May 12, when an Assembly committee passed a bill that would delay implementation of the so-called "no-kill bill" by one year.
The no-kill bill would force several cities to get in the sheltering business--something they probably won't be able to do by the July 1 deadline.
The new bill, sponsored by Assemblywoman Elaine Alquist, D-Santa Clara, still must be approved by the Assembly and Senate.
