Monte Sereno will revisit zoning ordinance

The Monte Sereno City Council is tentatively scheduled to look at its current zoning ordinances at its Feb. 18 meeting.

Those zoning ordinances include the city's policy on holiday lighting, a frequent item of discussion and complaint from residents, specifically in regard to a Danielle Place home. While Mayor David Baxter says there likely will be no formal action taken, the council will probably discuss the ordinances and give direction to staff.

The meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. at city hall, 18041 Saratoga­Los Gatos Road. Call 408.354.7635 to confirm that the item is on the finalized agenda.
