The Builders Remedy – Brought to you by Ristow, Moore,Rennie and Prevetti

The harmful development Los Gatos is currently experiencing stems from a failure of leadership. Former Mayor Ristow and council members Moore and Rennie controlled the legislative agenda throughout 2023, failing to adopt a state-compliant Housing Element by the statutory deadline of January 31, 2023. This failure triggered the Builder’s Remedy (California Government Code Section 65589.5), which remained in effect until June 4, 2024, when a compliant Housing Element was finally adopted—16 months late.
