The purpose of Story Poles in Los Gatos
It is a policy of the Town of Los Gatos Town Council to have story poles and project identification signs installed on the sites of an active development application. The placement of story poles is extremely helpful and important during the course of Town’s
review of applications for new development. Proper and accurate placement of story poles demonstrates the planned rooflines and heights and provides some indication of
the potential massing of the proposed structure. Story poles enhance understanding of the project for Town residents, staff, advisory bodies, and decision making bodies. Story
poles also provide a visual notice to the community of a forthcoming land use public hearing.
Project Identification Signs
All development applications that must comply with the story pole and netting requirements shall also provide project identification signs on the development site. We can provide the project signage production and installation as part of the story pole installation.
What You Get Out of It
Accurate story pole installation gives your project a cleaner path through the review process. Planners can make faster decisions when the story poles are professional and complete.
Neighbors can see exactly what's being built, which reduces the chance of appeals.
