Los Altos Hills bans commercial zoning altogether, a ban upheld by the California Court of Appeal in 1973, so its only two retail operations sit on a college campus and a convent's grounds, and the town has no post office or library of its own. ## What Los Altos Hills does to an appliance. Zoning here requires a minimum lot size of one acre with setbacks and pathway easements, and limits each lot to one primary dwelling, effectively banning multifamily housing. The town sits within a mapped seismic zone in the Santa Clara Valley foothills, keeping the same rural, low-density feel as neighboring Woodside and Portola Valley.
