By The Los Altos Hills City Council postponed voting until its May 17 meeting on a major revision to a city zoning ordinance that increases the allowable development area of residential lots.

City Attorney Sandy Sloan requested a postponement at the April 5 meeting, so she and Planning Director Carl Cahill would have adequate time to prepare a new negative environmental impact statement that more accurately reflects the scope of the proposed project. The delay was also necessary to fulfill the legal requirement for posting a new declaration for public review before the revised ordinance returns to the council.
