This Finding cannot be made. The site is physically suitable for this type of development because
it is generally consistent with the City’s Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision and Land Development
Code;
D. That the site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development.
This Finding cannot be made. The site is physically suitable for this type of development because
it is generally consistent with the City’s Zoning Ordinance, the goals and policies of the “Glen
Loma Specific Plan” and the City’s “Neighborhood District Policy”;
E. That the design of the proposed subdivision TM 21-05 or the proposed improvements are
likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat.
This Finding cannot be made. The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements will
not cause substantial environmental damage, or substantially injure fish or wildlife because the
site is located within a developed urban context and is not in or adjacent to any sensitive habitat
areas;
F. That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements is likely to cause serious
public health problems.
This Finding cannot be made. The design of the proposed subdivision TM 21-05 will not cause
serious public health problems because the site is located within an urban context and has access
to urban services including sewer and water; and
G. That the design of the proposed subdivision TM 21-05 or the type of improvements will
conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property
within the proposed subdivision. In this connection, the governing body may approve a map if it
finds that alternate easements, for access or for use, will be provided, and that these will be
substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. This subsection shall apply only
to easements of record or to easements established by judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
and no authority is hereby granted to a legislative body to determine that the public at large has
acquired easements for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision.
This Finding cannot be made. The design of the proposed subdivision TM 21-05 will not conflict
with access easements because there are no known existing access easements encumbering this
property.
SECTION II
The City Council of the City of Gilroy hereby approves TM 22-05, subject to the 130
conditions of approval set forth in Exhibit “A” attached hereto.

7. Subject to the review of the City of Gilroy Planning Division, no more than 30 days prior
to commencement of grading or construction activities for development proposed in or
adjacent to potential nesting habitat (i.e., riparian woodland and oak woodland), a tree
survey shall be conducted by a qualified biologist to determine if active nest(s) of
protected birds are present in the trees. Areas within 200 feet of the construction zone that
are not within the control of the applicant shall be visually assessed from the project site.
This survey shall be required only if any construction would occur during the nesting
and/or breeding season of protected bird species potentially nesting in the tree (generally
March 1 through August 1). If active nest(s) are found, clearing and construction within
200 feet of the tree, or as recommended by the qualified biologist, shall be halted until the
nest(s) are vacated and juveniles have fledged and there is no evidence of a second attempt
at nesting, as determined by the qualified biologist. If construction activities are not
scheduled between March 1 and August 1, no further shrike or tree surveys shall be
required (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 5).
8. Subject to the review of the City of Gilroy Planning Division, no more than 30 days prior
to commencement of grading or construction activities for development proposed in or
adjacent to potential roost habitat (i.e., riparian woodland and oak woodland), pre-
construction surveys for bat roosts shall be performed by a qualified biologist. If bat roost
sites are found, the biologist shall implement a program to remove/displace the bats prior
to the removal of known roost sites. In addition, an alternate roost site shall be
constructed in the vicinity of the known roost site. Specifications of the alternate roost
shall be determined by a bat specialist (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 6).
9. Prior to approval of each tentative map or use permit, project plans for future development
on the project site shall be designed to avoid unnecessary filling or other disturbance of
natural drainage courses and associated oak/riparian woodland vegetation to the greatest
extent feasible, subject to review and approval of the City of Gilroy Planning Division. In
the event that disturbance of site drainages and associated oak/riparian woodland
vegetation cannot be avoided (i.e., Reservoir Canyon Creek Bridge construction, culverts,
storm drain outfalls, etc.), authorization from the California Department of Fish and Game
through Section 1600 et. seq. of the Fish and Game Code and/or the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers through Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and the Regional Water Quality
Control Board through Section 401 of the Clean Water Act shall be obtained, if required,
prior to issuance of building or grading permits for any activity that might encroach on the
site’s drainages. Conditions imposed on these permits and/or authorizations may include
but not be limited to the following (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 8):
• Construction work shall be initiated and completed during the summer and fall
months when the drainages are dry, or at least have a very low flow. Typically, no
construction work shall be allowed between October 15th and April 15th.
• A Habitat Restoration Plan shall be prepared to identify the exact amount and
location of affected and replacement habitat, to specify on-site revegetation with locally-
obtained native species within the buffer areas to mitigate habitat loss, and to provide
specifications for installation and maintenance of the replacement habitat. Any loss of
riparian or wetland vegetation resulting from construction activities shall be mitigated on-

site at a minimum 3:1 replacement ratio.
10. Any loss of oak and/or riparian woodland habitat resulting from development shall require
the project proponent to retain a qualified biologist to prepare a Habitat Restoration Plan
to identify the exact amount and location of affected and replacement habitat, specify an
appropriate plant palette, and provide specifications for installation and maintenance of the
replacement habitat. Replacement vegetation shall consist of locally-obtained native plant
species. Any loss of riparian woodland vegetation shall be mitigated on-site at a minimum
of 3:1 replacement ratio, unless otherwise determined by the Department of Fish and
Game and the City of Gilroy. Any loss of oak woodland vegetation shall require
preservation of on-site oak woodland at a ratio of 3:1 and replanting on-site at a ratio of
1:1, unless otherwise determined by the Department of Fish and Game and the City of
Gilroy. The Habitat Restoration Plan shall be prepared prior to issuance of building or
grading permits for any activity requiring removal of oak and/or riparian woodland
habitat, subject to review and approval of the City of Gilroy Planning Division and
California Department of Fish and Game (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 9).
11. Prior to commencement of construction activities associated with Reservoir Canyon Creek
Bridge, the project proponent responsible for construction of the bridge shall arrange for a
qualified biologist to monitor bridge construction activities to ensure there are no impacts
to wetlands and associated oak/riparian woodland habitat (corresponds to EIR Mitigation
Measure 10).
12. Prior to issuance of grading and/or building permits, subject to the review of the Gilroy
Planning Division, the project applicant shall install siltation fencing, hay bales, or other
suitable erosion control measures along portions of natural and manmade drainage
channels in which construction will occur and within 20 feet of construction and/or staging
areas in order to prevent sediment from filling the creek (corresponds to EIR Mitigation
Measure 13).
13. Prior to issuance of grading and/or building permits, the project proponent of any future
development on the project site shall submit a Landscape Plan, for review and approval by
the City of Gilroy Planning Division. Landscaping plans for areas adjacent to riparian
habitat shall include appropriate guidelines to prevent contamination of drainages and their
associated riparian habitat by pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and fertilizers.
Landscaping shall include appropriate native plants species and should not include
plantings of non-native, invasive plant species (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure
14).
14. A schematic lighting plan shall be submitted with each development proposal for review
and approval by the Planning Division. Exterior lighting for any development proposed
adjacent to open space areas shall be of low stature (i.e., 20 feet) and shall be of a full
cutoff design or include opaque shields to reduce illumination of the surrounding
landscape. Lighting shall be directed away from open space areas (corresponds to EIR
Mitigation Measure 16).

(corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 21).
19. The project applicant for any proposed development on the project site, shall, for each
phase of the development, submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) and detailed engineering
designs to the Central Coast RWQCB. The associated permit shall require development
and implementation of a SWPPP that uses storm water “Best Management Practices” to
control runoff, erosion and sedimentation from the site. The SWPPP must include Best
Management Practices that address source reduction and, if necessary, shall include
practices that require treatment. The SWPPP shall be submitted to the City of Gilroy
Engineering Division for review and approval prior to approval of a building permit for
each phase of the project (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 24).
20. The project applicant shall submit plans for review by, and obtain an approved permit
from, the Santa Clara Valley Water District for any work that requires a permit from the
water district (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 25).

22. Prior to issuance of a grading permit for all areas within the Specific Plan area, the
following measures shall be incorporated into the project plans to mitigate construction
noise, subject to the review and approval of the City of Gilroy Engineering Division
(corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 28):
a. Construction shall be limited to weekdays between 7 AM and 7 PM and Saturdays
and holidays between 9 AM and 7 PM, with no construction on Sundays;
b. All internal combustion engine-driven equipment shall be equipped with mufflers
that are in good condition and appropriate for the equipment; and
c. Stationary noise-generating equipment shall be located as far as possible from
sensitive receptors when sensitive receptors adjoin or are near a construction project area.
23. Signalize the Santa Teresa Boulevard/Fitzgerald Avenue intersection and add eastbound
and westbound left turn lanes (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 34).
The project proponent shall be responsible for paying for the design and implementation
of this mitigation measure, prior to the issuance of the first building permit in Phase II.
24. Add a northbound left turn lane to the Uvas Park Drive/Miller Avenue intersection.
The project proponent shall be responsible for paying for the design and implementation
of this mitigation measure, prior to the issuance of the first building permit in Phase II
(corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 35).
25. Add second eastbound and westbound left turn lanes to the Santa Teresa Boulevard/First
Street intersection (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 37).
The project proponent shall be responsible for paying for the design and implementation
of this mitigation measure, prior to the issuance of the first building permit in Phase III.
26. Signalize the Uvas Park Drive/Miller Avenue intersection and add northbound and
southbound left-turn lanes (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 39).
The project proponent shall be responsible for paying for the design and implementation
of this mitigation measure, prior to the issuance of the first building permit in Phase III.
Note: This intersection would operate at LOS C during the AM and PM peak hours with
implementation of this improvement. However, under General Plan Buildout Conditions,
the Tenth Street Bridge would be required to be constructed. With the Tenth Street
Bridge, this intersection would operate at LOS A during the AM peak hour and LOS C
during the PM peak hour with NO improvements, e.g. signalization and lane additions.
Therefore, the mitigation measure identified above would not be required under General
Plan Buildout Conditions, assuming the Tenth Street Bridge were constructed.
One option would be to only add the northbound left-turn lane as recommended in the
previous scenario (Background Plus Project Phases I and II) and consider LOS E as an

acceptable short term level of service for this intersection. Another option is to implement
the mitigation measure above (signalize the intersection and add the left-turn lanes, which
would improve operations to LOS C during the AM and PM peak hours), with the
knowledge that the signal could be removed once the Tenth Street Bridge is constructed at
General Plan Buildout Conditions.
27. If the Thomas Road/Luchessa Avenue intersection was converted to a one lane modern
roundabout, add a second lane to the roundabout and widen the Luchessa Avenue Bridge
to four lanes. This would result in LOS A during both the AM and PM peak hours
(corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 41).
OR
If the Thomas Road/Luchessa Avenue intersection was signalized and a northbound right
turn lane was added, add a second westbound left turn lane and westbound through lane
and widen the Luchessa Avenue Bridge to four lanes.
The project proponent shall be responsible for paying for the design and implementation
of this mitigation measure, prior to the issuance of the first building permit in Phase III.
28. Add second northbound and westbound left turn lanes at the Monterey Street/Luchessa
Avenue intersection (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 43).
The project proponent shall be responsible for paying for the design and implementation
of this mitigation measure, prior to the issuance of the first building permit in Phase III.
29. Add an eastbound and westbound through lane on First Street at its intersection with Santa
Teresa Boulevard (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 44).
The project proponent shall be responsible for paying for the design and implementation
of this mitigation measure, prior to the issuance of the first building permit in Phase III.
30. Residential fire sprinklers shall be installed in all residences within the specific plan area
over 3,000 square feet, including single-family and multi-family town homes or
apartments, and residential clusters with more than 25 units that lack secondary access.
Residential fire sprinklers shall be installed prior to occupancy. Prior to approval of future
development projects within the specific plan area, the City Fire Marshal may require that
all residences have residential fire sprinkler systems, regardless of conditions stated above,
especially if streets are narrow, buildings are closely spaced, emergency response time is
not met, there is inadequate fire flow, building are adjacent to natural areas, or other
conditions exist that could hinder the ability of the City of Gilroy Fire Department to
perform fire suppression acts in such case they would be needed. The sprinklers shall be
designed and installed in accordance with City of Gilroy Fire Department policies
(corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 50).
