CONFORMANCE OF REQUEST WITH GENERAl, PI,AN:
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:
Oman Development and Commnnity 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
surrounded by developed property to the west, north and south, and municipal services are
available near this site.
ENVIRONMENTAl, IMPACTS:
NEGATIVE DECLARATION
An expanded Initial Study was prepared for this project under Zone Change application Z 98-05. The
study identified potentially significant effects on the enviromnent, however, the applicant agreed to
implement 15 mitigation measures which will avoid or mitigate the effects to a point where no
significant impacts will occur. A Negative Declaration was adopted for this project on July 20, 1998
REI.ATED APPI.ICATIONS:
AlS 99-14: 0" This application accompanies this request
Planned Unit Development Architectural and Site review for the construction of 180 single family
homes (to be constructed on lots created by TM 99-02). This application will be presented to the
Planning Cormnission and City Council in May, 1999.

RDO BACKGROUND:
This Planned Unit Development received 150 market rate RDO allocations in the 1996 RDO
competition [RD 96-09], an exemption for 97 affordable housing units in June, 1998 (M 98-06/ ARE
98-02), and an exemption for 114 affordable housing units in October, 1998 (M 98-09/ARE 98-03).
PREVIOUS APPLICATIONS:
The following previous applications were approved for this Planned Unit Development:
Z 98-05:
Zone change request to change the zoning designation of this site from Rl and R3-PUD to a combined
RlIR3-PUD zoning district. This application was approved in July, 1998.
TM 98-05 and AlS 98-31:
Tentative Map and Planned Unit Development Architectural and Site review for the construction of
75 single family homes. These applications were approved in September, 1998.
TM 98-07 and AlS 98-25:
Tentative Map and Planned Unit Development Architectural and Site review for the construction of
47 single family homes. These applications were in September, 1998.
ANALYSIS OF REQUEST:
This proposed Tentative Map will subdivide an approximate 37.41 acre site into 183 lots. These
consist of 180 residential lots, I private street, I parkldaycare site, and 1 multifamily residential site.
The residential lots in this subdivision will range in size from 2,770 square feet to 12,510 square feet,
with an average size of 4,880 square feet. Fifty of these lots will be market rate, and 130 will be
affordable units.
This site has a zoning designation of RlIR3-PUD (Single Family ResidentiallMedium Density
Residential- Planned Unit Development). The applicant is proposing to use the flexibility of the PUD
overlay to allow the Tentative Map to deviate from standard Zoning Ordinance requirements in two
ways: I) to allow density to be transferred throughout this site; and 2) to allow the lots to be less than
the minimum allowed 6,000 square feet. The following analysis clarifies this request:
Density Transfer
The current request is to create 180 single family (attached and detached) lots in the Low Density
section of this PUD. This portion of the PUD is approximately 20.l7-r. net acres. At a density of 7.25
units per acre, this land area would allow 146 dwelling units, rather than the 180 that are proposed.
EXHIBIT A
TM 99-02 - Revised

6/01/99
.
..
However, this property is part of a larger 64:1: acre Planned Unit Development. Approximately 9 acres
of this PUD have a zoning designation ofR3 (16 dwelling units per acre), with a maximum allowable
buildout of 144 units. The remaining 55 acres of this site have a zoning designation ofRl (7.25
dwelling units per acre), with a maximum buildout of399 units. The total number of housing units
that could be constructed within this PUD is 543. The applicant is proposing to construct only 361
units, and is proposing to spread them throughout this PUD, therefore the nverall density nf the
PUD is in compliance with density Iimitatinns.
Lot Size Exception
In order to construct homes on single family lots within this development at an affordable price, the
applicant is requesting an exception to the minimum 6,000 square foot lot size requirement. The lots
in this development range in size from 2,770 square feet to 12,510 square feet, with an average size
of approximately 4,880 square feet. Staff has two primary concerns with this reduced lot size. The
first concern is the ability of the lots to accommodate houses within the appropriate setbacks. The
applicant has addressed this concern by designing homes specifically to fit on these lots. With the
exception of22 "zero lot-line" homes, all of the homes within this subdivision meet the minimum
setback requirements set forth in the Zoning Ordinance. The request to allow zero lot-line homes will
be addressed in the PUD application for this project (NS 99-14).
The second concern which staff has with the reduced lot sizes is that the amount of lot frontage will
also be reduced, which limits the opportunities for on-street parking. This issue has been addressed
by the applicant providing a minimum of 40 feet of frontage for each lot (with the exception of the
zero lot-line lots on the private street, in front of which parking will not be allowed). This allows for
a 20 foot wide driveway and a 20 foot long strip of on-street parking.
Courtyard Hnmes
Lots 159 through 180 of this subdivision (located at the northwest comer of Siena Drive and Hirasaki
Avenue) will contain courtyard homes. These lots differ from the remainder of the subdivision in the
following ways:
1. The courtyard lots are much smaller in size than the average lots in this subdivision. (The
courtyard lots range in size from 2,770 square feet to 5,100 square feet, with an average size
of3,582 square feet.);
2, Attached homes, commonly called duettes, will be constructed on these lots, rather than the
single family detached homes located elsewhere in this subdivision.
.',
3. Fourteen of the courtyard homes will obtain vehicular access from a private, 24 foot wide
street. The remainder of the courtyard homes will obtain vehicular access from the public
streets.

Water Channel Issues
The proposed project is bordered on its east, north and south sides by the Santa Clara Valley Water
district (SCVWD) water channels. General Plan Section VI-3, policy nunober 15 states, "The City
should attempt to acquire the rights to use public and quasi-public utility and drainage channel
corridors as linear parks to provide the network for a system of pedestrian and bicycle paths." Based
on this policy, City staff is attempting to limit the number of houses built with their rear yards adjacent
to the channel, by reserving these areas for open space, parking areas, streets or other buffers. The
reason for this request is that residential rear yards abutting trails and pathways can create undesirable
situations for two primary reasons: 1) The public presence on the trails and pathways may interfere
with the privacy of adjacent residents and 2) When trails and pathways abut residences, they cannot
be seen from the public right-of-way, and therefore are difficult to monitor by public safety personnel.
South County Housing has addressed this General Plan policy by placing streets adjacent to the
channels to the extent feasible. The applicant has successfully prevented all but six homes and the
multi-family site from abutting the channels. Conflicts between the multi-family site and the channel
can be reduced or eliminated through the design of that site. Staff recommends that the future owners
of single family lots adjacent to the channel be notified that the channel could be developed with a
bike path. Stafffeels that the proposed design meets the intent of this policy.
l'edestrian Bridee
The applicant is proposing a pedestrian bridge to allow access between the subdivisions on the east
and west sides of the north-to-south oriented water channel. This bridge will also allow homes on the
east side of the channel to have access to the potential future public park. This bridge will be
constructed by using a box culvert. The reason a box culvert is proposed to be used is to allow
emergency Police Department patrol vehicle access across the bridge. The box culvert is proposed
to be designed in such a way that it will allow only pedestrian use of the bridge, but will also allow
patrol vehicle access in the case of a pursuit. This bridge is proposed to be owned and maintained by
the City, Specific design considerations for the bridge will subject to review by the Police
Department, and the Engineering and Planning Divisions.
l'arl</Daycare and Multi-Family Lots
In addition to the 180 residential lots created by this subdivision, one parkldaycare lot and one
multifamily lot will be created. The parkldaycare lot is anticipated to be developed with a City park
and a privately owned daycare center. The development of the park site is subject to future
negotiations with the City. The development of the day care center will be processed through a PUD
Architectural and Site review application. The multi-family lot will be developed with 30 senior
citizen apartment units, and 30 multi-family apartment units. This development will also be subject
to a PUD Architectural and Site review application.

Access to this development will be provided by Hirasaki Avenue (a General Plan collector). The
proposed tract map configuration also shows several new public streets that will contribute to the
traffic circulation of this project. The proposed street alignments are consistent with minimum City
development standards.
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, and the Residential Development

5, Prepare a grading plan for all phases; that shall include, but not be !imjted to, specifications
requiring that no materials or machinery will be allowed within the boundaries of the Santa
Clara Valley Water District facilities. This would include any grading, and/or fill material or.
grading, and/or construction vehicles, etc. The plan shall be subject to review and approval
by the City Engineering Division and the Santa Clara Valley Water District, prior to approval
of the final map. Monitoring shall take place during grading and construction activities and
shall be performed by either the City Engineering Division or the Santa Clara Valley Water
District.
Work which takes place within waters of the United States must be authorized by the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 U.S.C.
1344). Waters of the United states generally include tidal waters, lakes, ponds, rivers; streams,'
and wetlands. If implementation of Mitigation Measure 5 is not feasible, Mitigation Measure
6 will reduce potential impacts to a less than significant level.
6. The project developer shall contact the U.S, Army Corps of Engineers (CORPS) and Regional .
Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) at the earliest possible stage of planning all phases
to determine if the nature of the proposed work would require a permit under the provisions
.0fClean Water Act Section 404.: Ifconsultation with the Corps and RWQCB determines that
a permit is necessary, permit requirements may include, but not be limited to,.the following
actions to be completed prior to issuance of a building permit.

. The City shall detemrinewhich trees, ifany, are "significant.~ If the City detennines that
significant trees will be retained, theJandscape plan shall indicate which trees are to be
retained. During construction !)fthe proposed project, the following measures ~ll occur:
I) Significant trees shall be fenced prior to grading activities to prevent root damage. The
fencing shall, at minimum, conform to the dripline of the tree. A radiUs.of one to 1.5 feet
per inch diameter is desirable; and, 2) Construction vehicles shall be routed around the
dripline of the tree. . .
If this is not feasible, then the project developer shaJ1 hire a certified arborist to prepare. a
mitigation plan for review and approval by the Planning Division.
8. The following language shall be included on any permits issued for the project site, including,
but not limited to building permits for the future development. "All noise generating
construction activities shall be limited to weekdays between "I a.m. and 7 p.m., to Saturdays
and City holidays between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. No construction is allowed on Sundays."
9., For Phase I, the project developer shall construct a l2-foot high, acoustically-effective barrier
. along the property line contiguous with Santa Teresa Boulevard. Openings up to 40 feet wide
may occur in the barrier where the project site cul-de-sacs abut Santa Teresa Boulev8.rd.
To control flanking noise, the 12-foot high barrier must continue along the north and south
property lines contiguous with the North Morey Channel and the South Morey Ch8nnel. These
flanking barriers must be designed as foJ1ows: 12 feet high for 15 feet, at 11 feet high for 10
feet, at 10 feet high for 9 feet, at 9 feet high for 12 feet, at 8 feet high for 16 feet, at 7 feet high
for 17 feet and 6 feet high for 150 feet. This flanking barrier extends a total of 229 feet along
the north and south property lines of the project site.
Alternative soundwall designs may be acceptable, but are subject to the review and approval
of the Community Development Department.
10. For Phase I, a noise barrier designed with fence openings at the cul-de-sac locations, the
project developer shall install acoustically-effective six feet high side yard fences to connect
the sides of the first row of homes along Santa Teresa Boulevard with the main noisebarric;r.
These side yard barriers are designed to' prevent noise that transmits through cul-de-sac
openings from entering the sides of yards. Gates may be included in the barriers. The barrier
heights are in reference to the nearest building pad elevation.
To achieve an acoustically-effective barrier, it must be made air-tight, i.e., without cracks,
gaps, or other openings and must provide for long-term durability. The barriers can be
constructed of wood, concrete, stucco, masonry, earth berm, or a combination thereo~ and
must have a minimum surface weight of 4.0 pounds per square foot (lbs. per sq. ft.} for barriers
10 feet tall and taller, and 2.5 Ibs. per sq. ft. for barriers under 10 feet tall. If wood fencing is
used, homogenous sheet materials are preferable to conventional wood fencing as the latter has

a tendency to wll1p and form openings with age. However, high quality, air-tight, tongue-and-
groove, shiplap, or board and batten construction can be used, provided the minimum surface
weight requirement is met and the construction is air tight. .
The noise control barriers must be constructed so that .all joints, including connections with
posts, pilasters or the building shells are sealed air-tight and no openings are permitted between
the upper barrier components and the. ground. Gates may be incorporated into the side yard
barriers, however, they must meet the surface weight requirements described above, and must
fit tight when in the closed position. The gap under a gate shall be no more than an inch.
Alternative soundwall designs may be acceptable, but are subject to the review and approval
of the Community Development Department.
II. Maintain closed at all times all windows on the second floor and unshielded first floor living
spaces within 2(i5 feet of the centerline of Santa Teresa Boulevard and with a direct or side
view of the roadway. At spaces within 90 feet of the centerline of the road, install windows
rated minimum Sound Transmission Class (STC) 35. At spaces between 90 feet and 167 feet
of the centerline of the road, install windows rated minimum STC 30. At spaces between 167
feet and 265 feet of the centerline of the road, install windows rated minimum STC 26.
Provide some type of mechanical ventilation.
12. The windows specified to be maintained closed are to be operable, as the requirement does not
imply a "fixed" condition. All other windows of the development, including bathroom
windows, may have any type of glass with the exception of bathroom windows that are an
integral part of a living space and not separated by a closable door, such as those common in
master bedroom suites.
13. When windows are maintained closed for noise control, some type of mechanical ventilation
to assure a habitable environment should be provided. The mechanical ventilation
requirements are specified by the Uniform Building Code (UBC).
14. In addition to the required STC ratings, the windows and doors shall be installed in an
acoustically"effective manner. To achieve an acoustically-effective window construction, the
sliding window panels must form an air-tight seal to the outside environment when in the
closed position and the window and door frames must be caulked to the wall openings around
their entire perimeter with a non-hardening caulking compound to prevent sound infiltration.
15. Due to the possibility that significant buried cultural resources might be found during
construction, the following language shall be included in any.permits issued for the project site,
including, but not limited to building permits for the future development, pursuant to the
review and approval of the Gilroy Planning Division:

Mitigation Monitoring Program
J
Introduction
J
~
On January 1, 1989, the California State Legislature passed into law Assembly Bill
3180. This bill 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.
]
j
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
initial study. These mitigation measures are designed to eliminate or reduce signifi-
cant adverse environmental effects to levels of insignificance. These mitigation mea-
sures 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 initial study.
Monitoring Program Procedures
It is required that the City of Gilroy use the attached monitoring checklist for the
proposed project. The monitoring program should be implemented as follows:
1. The City of Gilroy Planning Division should be responsible for coordination
of the monitoring program, including the monitoring checklist. The Planning
Division 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 deter-
mining 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 City of Gilroy Planning Division 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 Planning Division.
3. Prior to issuance of an occupancy permit, the Planning Division should
review the checklist to ensure that all mitigation measures and additional
conditions of project approval included in the monitoring checklist have been
complied with. An occupancy permit should not be issued until all
mitigation measures and additional conditions of project approval included
in the monitoring checklist have been complied with.
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 Planning Division, describing
the non-compliance and requiring compliance within a specified period of
time. If a 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.
