Los Gatos Weekly-Times News Briefs 330 University coming to council A plan for an upscale housing development at 330 University Ave. that was denied by the Planning Commission comes to the Town Council on appeal Monday, Dec. 16 at 7:30 p.m. Maxim is asking for 22 single-family detached homes on the site, which puts the project at the bottom end of the zoning density for the site, but neighbors say that building more homes in the area would tie up traffic on University Avenue. Maxim's Bill Hirschman, however, says the traffic report prepared for the project said there would be no significant impact, and says improvements to the intersection of University and Highway 9 that are included in his plan would actually improve circulation.
