significant effect on the environment. The following reasons will support these findings:
I. The proposal is a logical component of the existing land use of this area.
2. Identified adverse impacts are proposed to be mitigated through preparation of special studies
and construction of off-site improvements.
3. The proposed project is consistent with the adopted goals and policies of the General Plan of the
City of Gilroy.
4. City staff independently reviewed the Initial Study, and this Negative Declaration reflects the
independent judgment of the City of Gilroy.

Mitigation Monitoring Program
Introduction
CEQA Guidelines section 15097 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 measures 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 the project
environmental impact report. 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 the
environmental impact report.
Monitoring Program Procedures
The City of Gilroy shall use the attached monitoring checklist for the proposed project.
The monitoring program should be implemented as follows:
1. The Gilroy Community Development Department should be responsible for
coordination of the monitoring program, including the monitoring checklist. The
Community Development Department should be responsible for completing the
monitoring checklist and distributing the checklist to the responsible individuals
or agencies for their use in monitoring the mitigation measures.
EXHIBIT C
Silveira Annexation and Zone Change Initial Study
Mitigation Monitoring Program
2. 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 with, the
responsible individual or agency should submit a copy of the monitoring checklist
to the Community Development Department 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 Community Development Department.
3. The Gilroy Community Development Department will review the checklist to
ensure that appropriate mitigation measures and additional conditions of project
approval included in the monitoring checklist have been complied with at the
appropriate time, e.g. prior to issuance of a use permit, etc. Compliance with
mitigation measures is required for project approvals.
4. 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 Community Development
Department, describing the non-compliance and requiring compliance within a
specified period of time. If 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.

. 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 daily (with water sweepers) all paved access roads, parking areas and
staging areas at construction sites;
· Sweep streets daily (with water sweepers) if visible soil material is carried
onto adjacent public streets.
The following measures shall be implemented at all construction sites greater
than four acres in area:
. Hydroseed or apply (non-toxic) soil stabilizers to inactive construction areas
(previously graded areas inactive for ten days or more);
· Enclose, cover, water twice daily or apply (non-toxic) soil binders to exposed
stockpiles (dirt, sand, etc.);
· Limit traffic speeds on unpaved roads to 15 mph;
· Install sandbags or other erosion control measures to prevent silt runoff to
public roadways;
. Replant vegetation in disturbed areas as quickly as possible.
Optional control measures, the following measures are strongly encouraged at
construction sites that are large in area, located near sensitive receptors or which
for any other reason may warrant additional emissions reductions:
· Install wheel washers for all existing trucks, or wash off the tires or tracks of
all trucks and equipment leaving the site;
