Heartland Gardens Subdivision and Architectural and Site Review
#AS 16 -32 ( #16080034)
Mitigation Monitoring Program
Note: This mitigation monitoring program shall supersede any other mitigation monitoring
program adopted for the project or project site.
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 Hecker Pass
Specific Plan EIR. 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 applicant is required to complete.
These mitigation measures have been modified to be consistent with the Santa Clara Valley
Habitat Plan, which was adopted after adoption of the mitigation monitoring program for the
Hecker Pass Specific Plan.
The attached checklist is for monitoring the implementation of the mitigation measures. This
monitoring checklist contains all appropriate mitigation measures in the EIR, as modified.
Monitoring Program Procedures
The City of Gilroy shall use the attached monitoring checklist for the Heartland Gardens
subdivision. The monitoring program should be implemented as follows:
RESOLUTION NO. 2017-09
The Gilroy Community Development Department is 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;
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 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; and
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.
