From the Los Gatos 2040 DEIR:

6.6 Environmentally Superior Alternative
This section compares the impacts of the four alternatives to those of the proposed 2040 General

Because this is about how the town can make a dent into Green House Gases (GHG), we have only shown the best solution because the Town has thus far chosen the worst solution-ie, hi-growth without substantiation.  What’s more important to us than growth, is life.

Alternative 2 Summary
Alternative 2, Medium Growth would result in fewer impacts compared to the 2040 General Plan for
many of the environmental resource impact areas. Under this alternative there would be modest
increases in density ranges outside Opportunity Areas and additional increases inside Opportunity
Areas. Overall, Alternative 2 performs better than the 2040 General Plan, especially in the following
key areas:
