Blocher General Plan Amendment
Inclusion of 123.6 acres of Open Space in the 20-year
planning area of the General Plan.
PROJECT LOCATION:
Location: Southwest corner of Monterey Street and Thomas Road
Assessor's Parcel Number: 80B-2l-ll,12,16,16,20
Entitv of Persons Undertakina Proiect:
Name: Richard Blocher
Address: 3280 Hecker Pass Highway
INITIAL STUDY:
An Initial Study of this project was previously undertaken and prepared
for the purpose of ascertaining whether this project might have a
significant effect on the environment. A copy of this study is on file at
the City of Gilroy Planning Department, 7351 Rosanna Street, Gilroy, CA
95020.
FINDINGS & REASONS:
The Initial Study identified potentially significant effects on the
environment. However, the applicant has agreed to revisions in the
project, or the project has been revised, 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, as
revised, may have a significant effect on the environment. The following
reasons will support these findings:
1. Identified adverse impacts such as the effect on remaining sewer plant
capacity, school impacts, and increase in traffic generated from this
. project are proposed to be mitigated through buildout schedules,
school impaction fees, and construction of off-site improvements.
2. Any proposed commercial development of a significant scale will have
an independent environmental assessment to evaluate site specific
environmental concerns.

3. The proposal will not be detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to persons or property in the vicinity.
44 Potential significant effects can be mitigated to reduce them to an
acceptable level of impact.
MITIGATION MEASURES:
1. Any development of the site will require additional environmental review.
All phases of development, to include design layouts and specific site
considerations, shall be addressed fully within the City of Gilroy's
Architectural & Site Review procedures.
2. The developer shall submit a detailed plan for all exterior lights, as
part of the building permit review process. The lighting plan shall
incorporate design elements that will minimize the potential for light and
glare impacts on adjacent residential properties. The lighting plan shall
be subject to the review and approval by the City Planning Department.
3. The development of .the site shall conform to the City of Gilroy's
Consolidated Landscaping Policy, subject to the review and approval by the
City Planning Department.
4. Due to the possibility that significant buried cultural resources might be
found during construction, the following language shall be included in any
per mits issued for the project site, including but not limited to
building permits for the future development, pursuant to review and
approval of the City Planning Director: If archaeological resources or
human remains are discovered during construction, work shall be halted
within 50 meters (150 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.
