Negative Declaration
2 4/18/02
Findings & Reasons:
The Initial Study identified potentially significant effects on the environment. However, this
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:
~ The proposal is a logical component of the existing land use of this area and a logical and
necessary expansion of Civic Center functions.
~ Identified adverse impacts are proposed to be mitigated through preparation of special
studies and construction of on-site improvements.
~ The proposed project is consistent with the adopted goals and policies of the General Plan
of the City of Gilroy.
} City staff independently reviewed the Initial Study, and this Negative Declaration reflects
the independent judgment of the City of Gilroy.
>' With the application of the following Mitigation Measures the proposed project will not
have any significant impacts on the environment.
Mitigation Measures:
1. The following dust control measures shah be incorporated into all permits for any phase of
proposed construction on the project site. The measures shall be implemented as
necessary to adequately control dust, subject to the review and approval of the Gilroy
Engineering Division.
The following measures shall be implemented at all construction sites:
· Water all active construction areas at least twice daily;
· Cover all trucks hauling soil, sand, and other loose materials or require all trucks
to maintain at least two feet of freeboard;
· Pave, apply water three times daily, or apply (non-toxic) soil stabilizers on all
unpaved access roads, parking areas and staging areas at construction sites;
· Sweep dally (with water sweepers) all paved access roads, parking areas and
staging areas at construction sites;
Subject to determination by the Gilroy Engineering Division, the following measures
may be implemented at construction sites that are very large or are located near
sensitive receptors:
· Install wheel washers for all existing trucks, or wash off the tires of all tucks and
equipment leaving the site;
· Suspend excavation and grading activity when winds (instantaneous gusts) exceed
25 miles per hour;
· Limit the area subject to excavation, grading and other construction activity at any
one time.

2. If archaeological or paleontological resources or human remains are accidentally
discovered during construction, work shall be halted within 200 feet of the find until it can
be evaluated by a qualified professional archaeologist. If the find is determined to be
significant, appropriate mitigation measures shall be formulated and implemented based on
CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5. This mitigation measure shall be subject to CJikoy
Planning Division review and approval.
3. If human remains are accidentally discovered during construction, there shall be no further
excavation or disturbance of the site or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie
adjacent human remains until the coroner of Santa Clara County is contacted to determine
that no investigation of the cause of death is required. If the coroner determines the
remains to be Native American the coroner shall contact the Native American Heritage
Commission within 24 hours. The Native American Heritage Commission shall identify
the person or persons it believes to be them most likely descendent (MLD) from the
deceased Native American. The MLD may then make recommendations to the landowner
or the person responsible for the excavation work, for means of treating or disposing of,
with appropriate dignity, the human remains and associated grave goods as provided in
Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. The landowner or his authorized representative
shall re-bury the Native American human remains and associated grave goods with
appropriate dignity on the property in a location not subject to further disturbance iff a)
the Native American Heritage Commission is unable to identify a MLD or the MLD failed
to make a recommendation within 24 hours after being notified by the commission; b) the
descendent identified fails to make a recommendation; or c) 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
acceptable to the landowner. This mitigation measure shall be subject to Gilroy Planning
Division review and approval.
4. All potentially friable asbestos-containing material shall be removed prior to building
removal in accordance with National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
guidelines. This mitigation shall be subject to Gilroy Building Division review and
approval.

8. Once plans are developed showing the placement of roof-top mechanical equipment, and
the number and type of the equipment are known, the project plans shall be reviewed by
an acoustical specialist to calculate if the limits established in the noise performance
standards would be met. Noise attenuating measures would be required if the noise
performance standards are exceeded. This mitigation shall be subject to Gilroy Building
Division review and approval.
9. The emergency diesel generator shall be located in an area on the project site to minimize
the noise received at residential receivers. Packaged diesel units are available with noise
attenuating enclosures that would help maintain maximum noise levels below the 75 dBA
maximum noise level limit depending on the placement of the unit. Diesel generators can
also be screened by noise barriers to reduce noise levels to acceptable levels. The final
design of the diesel generator shall be reviewed by an acoustical specialist once the
location and type of equipment is selected. This mitigation shall be subject to Gilroy
Building Division review and approval.
10. The emergency diesel generator shall be tested regularly during a daytime hour (e.g.,
Wednesdays at 12:00 p.m.) to reduce the potential for annoyance at the adjacent
residential land uses. Testing the emergency diesel generator shall be prohibited during
noise-sensitive early morning, evening, or nighttime hours. This mitigation shall be subject
to Gilroy Police Department review and approval.
11. Noise-generating activities outdoors at the construction site or in areas adjacent to the
construction site associated with the project in any way shall be restricted to the hours of
7:00 a.m. to 5:09 7:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 9:00 am to 7:00 pm on
Saturdays and City holidays. No construction activities shall occur on Sundays. This
mitigation measure shall be subject to Gilroy Building Division enforcement.
12. Construct temporary plywood noise barriers to shield adjacent noise-sensitive land uses
from construction noise prior to the demolition phase of the project. The temporary noise
barriers shall be at least eight feet high to shield noise generated by heavy-equipment
exhaust stacks. This mitigation measure shall be subject to Gilroy Engineering Division
enforcement.
13. Equip all internal combustion engine driven equipment with intake and exhaust mufflers
which are in good condition and appropriate for the equipment. This mitigation measure
shall be subject to Gilroy Building Division enforcement.
14. Unnecessary idling of internal combustion engines shall be strictly prohibited. This
mitigation measure shall be subject to Gilroy Building Division enforcement.
15. Avoid staging of construction equipment within 200 feet of residences and locate all
stationary noise-generating construction equipment, such as air compressors and portable
power generators, as far as practical from existing noise sensitive receptors. Construct
temporary barriers to screen stationary noise generating equipment when located in areas
adjoining noise sensitive land uses. A suitable location for the construction staging area
may be adjacent to City Hall along Hanna Street. This mitigation measure shall be subject
to Gilroy Building Division enforcement.
