Garlic Farm Annex Initial Study
(Z 00-0~, A/S 00-07)
Mitigation Monitoring Program
Introduction
On January 1, 1989, the California State Legislature passed into law Assembly Bill 3180. Th/s bill
requires public agencies to adopt reporting or monitoring programs when they approve projects subject
to an environmental impact report or a negative declaration that includes mitigation measures to avoid
significant adverse environmental effects~ The reporting or monitoring program is to be designed to
ensure compliance with conditions of project approval during project implementation in order to avoid
significant adverse environmental effects.
The law was passed in response to historic non-implementation of mitigation measures presented in
environmental documents and subsequently adopted as conditions of project approval. In addition,
monitoring ensures that mitigation meastcms are implemented and thereby provides a mechanism to
evaluate the effectiveness of the mitigation measures.
A definitive set of project conditions would include enough detailed information and enforcement
procedures to ensure the measure's compliance. This monitoring program is designed to provide a
mechanism to ensure that mitigation measures and subsequent conditions of project approval are
implemented.
Monitoring Program
The basis for this monitoring program is the mitigation measures included in this initial study. These
mitigation measures are designed to eliminate or reduce significant adverse environmental effects to
less-than-significant levels. These mitigation measures become conditions of project approval, which the
project proponent is required to complete during and after implementation of the proposed project.
The attached checklist is proposed for monitoring the implementation of the mitigation measures. This
monitoring checklist contains all appropriate mitigation measures in this initial study.
Monitoring Program Procedures
It is required that the City of Gilroy use the attached monitoring checklist for the proposed project. The
monitoring program should be implemented as follows:
The Gilroy Planning Director should be responsible for coordination of the monitoring program,
including the monitoring checklist. The Planning Director should be responsible for completing
the monitoring checklist and distributing the checklist to the responsible individ-alg or agencies
for their use in monitoring the mitigation measures.
Each responsible individual or agency will then be responsible for determining whether the
mitigation measures contained in the monitoring checklist have been complied with. Once all
mitigation measures have been complied w/th, the responsible individual or agency should
submit a copy of the monitoring checklist to the Planning Director to be placed in the project
file. If the mitigation measure has not been complied with, the monitoring checklist should not
be returned to the Planning Director.
Galic Farm Annex Initial Study Mitigation Monitoring Program I
Prior to issuance of an occupancy permit, the Planning Director should review the checklist to
ensure that all mitigation measures and additional conditions of project approval included in
the monitoring checklist have been complied with. An occupancy permit should not be issued
until all mitigation measures and additional conditions of project approval included in the
monitoring checklist have been complied with.
If a responsible individual or agency determines that a non-compliance has occurred, a written
notice should be delivered by certified mail to the project proponent within 10 days, with a copy
to the Planning Director, describing the non-compliance and requiring compliance within a
specified period of time. If a non-compliance still exists at the expiration of the specified period
of time, construction may be halted and fines may be imposed at the discretion of the City of
Gilroy.

the landowner or his authorized representative
rejects the recommendation of the descendent,
and the mediation by the Native American
Heritage Commission fails to provide measures
