CONFORMANCE OF REQUEST WITH GENERAL PLAN:
The proposed project conforms to the land use designation for the property on the General Plan map,
and is consistent with the intent of the text of the General Plan document~
This project conforms with the policies of Gilroy's General Plan. The following examples
demonstrate this compliance:
Urban Development and Community Design (Section II):
Policy 3: "Urban Development will only occur within the incorporated portion of the Planning
Area. Land will therefore be annexed to the City before final development approval is
given. "
The proposed project is in conformance with this policy, because this land has been
within City limits for many years.
Policy 4: "The City will phase development in an orderly, contiguous manner in order to maintain
a compact development pattern to avoid premature investment for the extension of public
facilities and services. New urban development will occur in areas where municipal
services are available and capacity exists prior to the approval of development in areas
which would require major new facility expansion. "
The proposed project is in conformance with this policy, because this property is in close
proximity to developed residential property. Municipal services are currently available
at this site.
ENYlRONMENT AL IMPACTS:
NEGATIVE DECLARATION
An expanded Initial Study has been prepared for this project. The study identified potentially
significant effects on the environment, however, the applicant has agreed to individual mitigation
measures which will avoid or mitigate the effects to a point where no significant impacts will occur.
A Negative Declaration with 7 mitigation measures (see attached) has been prepared for this project.
~
RnO~ACKGROUND:
This project consists of the development of 11 homes, which will be constructed in two phases over
a three year period. Zoning Ordinance section 50.62 (b) (1) allows projects which produce 12
residential units or fewer within a three year period to be exempt from the requirements of the
Residential Development Ordinance.
.
.
TM 96-06

1/23/97
ANALYSIS OF REQUEST:
This proposed tentative map will subdivide a 2.456 acre site into 11 lots. This site has a zoning
designation ofRl (Single Family Residential), and is planned to be subdivided into lots ranging in
size from 6,007 square feet to 7,789 square feet. The Tentative Map shows the first phase of this
development adjacent to Santa Teresa Boulevard, with the second phase adjacent to the eastern
property boundary.
Access to this development will be provided by Cypress Court and Ponderosa Drive, which are both
local streets. The proposed tract map configuration shows Cypress Court extending through to this
project. The street alignments are consistent with minimum City development standards.
Sound Attenuation Issues
Sound attenuation will be required to buffer the homes constructed on this site from the traffic noise
generated along Santa Teresa Boulevard. Typically, a sound wall would be used as a sound barrier,
however, the City's recently adopted Guidelines for Sound Attenuation and Visual Preservation of the
Santa Teresa Boulevard Corridor requires that alternative mechanisms be researched, in order to
preserve the aesthetics of the Santa Teresa Boulevard corridor. The potential methods for sound
attenuation are ranked in the following order:
1. Increase building setbacks from road way
2. Utilize natural topography
3. Landscaping
4. Earthen-berms
5. Berms with short aesthetic sound walls
6. Frontage roads
7. Combination of the above
8. Sound walls
An acoustical analysis has been prepared by Brown-Buntin Associates, Inc. (included in the initial
Study) which analyses the above methods. This study found that the required sound attenuation could
be achieved using the following methods:
A.
B.
e.
D.
Earthen-berms
Berms with short aesthetic sound walls
Combination of berm and landscaping, or berm with short sound wall and landscaping
Sound wall
!
After further review, it has been determined by staff that option A is not feasible, due to the fact that
this property is not large enough to accommodate a 7 foot high berm at the required slope (typically
2: 1). Berms with higher slopes cannot maintain landscaping, due to the fact that irrigation water
drains prior to absorption. .
.
.
TM 96-06
4
1/23/97
Based on this analysis, staff recommends that option C be used. Staff further recommends that the
applicant be allowed to use a 7 foot high soundwall, with a berm and landscaping on the side facing
Santa Teresa Boulevard, rather than using a berm with a short sound wall on top. The reasons for
recommending this option are:
1. The visual impact along Santa Teresa will be the same in both situations;
2. Using a berm with a soundwall on top will allow easy access to the rear yards of this
property. This threat is enhanced by the fact that there will a recreational trail adjacent
to these rear yards. The likely result is that residents would construct a barrier on top
of the sound wall, the aesthetics of which could not be controlled;
3. Using a berm with a soundwall on top will reduce the rear yard for the residents. This
yard area has already been reduced significantly due to the fact that a 25 foot
dedication is required for the Santa Teresa Boulevard recreation trail.
It is also recommended that the soundwall have an enhanced architectural design.
This proposed design was presented to the Santa Teresa Corridor Task Force, and was approved by
that committee.
OakTrees
An arborist report has been prepared for this project, and is included in the Initial Study. The only
species of significance on this site is oak (Four oak trees are located on site.). It has been determined
by the arborist who prepared this report that the three oak trees which are located between lots two
and three can be removed, since they are immature trees, and their separation from the oak woodland
to the west causes them to be insignificant. The fourth oak tree is located within the area which will
be dedicated to the City for the Santa Teresa Boulevard recreation trail, and therefore will not be
affected by this project.
SantaIeresaBllu.leYardRecreatioILIrail
The Tentative Map shows a strip ofland along the western property boundary which will be dedicated
to the City. This land is proposed to be used for the Santa Teresa Boulevard recreation trail. It is
unknown at this time what the ultimate width of this trail will be, therefore, the applicant is proposing
a 25 foot wide dedication, to conform to the width of land dedicated by the Kaufman and Broad
development south of this site (adjacent to Thomas Road).
'!c
Proposed house designs have not been submitted for this project. This project consists of standard
size lots, and is not in a Planned Unit Development overlay district. Therefore, the designs of the
homes will be reviewed and approved at a staff level.
As submitted, this project is consistent with the intent of the City's General Plan text and Land Use
Map, Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision and Land Development code, State Subdivision Map Act, and
the Residential Development Ordinance.

Response to Comments
Dear Ms. Durkin:
The public review period for the Gilroy Garden Apartments Initial Study and Negative
Declaration ended on January 13, 1997. During the public review period, a letter was
received from the following:
· Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, dated January 8,1997
This letters contains a comment on the location of the nearest bus stop and access from
the project site. The SCVT A requested that the project proponent install the sidewalk
and wheelchair curb ramp improvements as shown on the project plans. As this is part
of the proposed project, and will be designed to meet city specifications, no response to
comments is necessary.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact me. I have enclosed a
final invoice for this project. It has been a pleasure working with you.
