An Expanded Imitial Study of this project wasundertakenandprepared for
the purposeofascertain/rgwhetherthis project might have a significant
effect on the environment. A copy of this study is on file at the City of
Gilroy Planning Department, 7351RosannaStreet, Gilroy, CA95020.
The Initial Study identified potentially significant effects on the
environment. However, the project has been mitigated (see Mitigation
Measures below which avoid or mitigate the effects) to a point where no
significant effects will occur. There is no substantial evidence the
project may have a significant effect on the environment. The following
reasons will support these findings:
1. The proposal is a lOgical extension of the existing urban, land use,
and~zoning patterns of this area, ~ ~-~.'"
Identified adverse impacts such as the effect on school impacts and
increase in traffic generated from this project are proposed to be
mitigated through school impaction fees, and construction of off-site
Negative Declaz-ation q~4 91-01, Z 91-10 2 03/31/92
3. The proposed project is consistent with the adopted goals and policies
of the General Plan of the City of Gilroy.
The Initial Study was independently reviewed by City staff, and th!~
