Measure G set for discussion at April 7 meeting

The Saratoga City Council will revisit its policy on Measure G at its meeting Tuesday, April 7, at 7 p.m. The meeting will be held in the Adult Care Center, located on Allendale Avenue.

The council reversed its policy of letting developers decide whether to go directly to a ballot or through the Planning Department March 4. The move was in response to an application by developer Barry Swenson to change the land-use designation of property on Quito Road. The new designation could make room for an assisted-care facility.
