CONFORMANCE OF REQUEST WITH GENERAL PLAN:
The proposed project conforms to the Hillside Residential land use designation for the property
on the General Plan Land map and is consistent with the intent of the text of the General Plan
document.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:
An expanded Initial Study was prepared for the original Phases of the Carriage Hills subdivision,
which includes this phase (Phase III) for the hillside development. A Negative Declaration was
prepared and adopted by the City Council on January 17, 1995. This hillside project was
reviewed in conjunction with the previously prepared Initial Study and was found to be
consistent. Subsequent biological studies were completed to determine any additional
significant impacts on the environment. No additional effects on the environment were
determined beyond that identified and mitigated in the adopted Negative Declaration.
RELATED APPLICATIONS:
Z 94-03 Request to rezone the Carriage Hills site from Rl (Single Family Residential), RH
(Hillside Residential), and PF (ParklPublic Facility) to RI-PUD (Single Family Residential -
Planned Unit Development) and RH (Residential Hillside). This zone change was approved by
the City Council on January 17,1995.
RDO BACKGROUND:
A total of 176 allocations have been awarded for Carriage Hills Phases 1, II and III. To date, 137
units have been developed in Phases I and II. The 39 RDO allocations for the Phase III hillside
units are comprised of 15 allocations awarded in 1992 (RD 92-16) and 24 allocations awarded in
1999 (RD 99-12) to complete the hillside phase.
ANALYSIS:
The applicant. Mantelli Family Trust, is proposing 10 subdivide approximately 35 acres of land
to develop 39 single-family, custom, hillside lots. This project is phase III of the overall
Carriage Hills development, which has one additional future phase consisting of townhouse units
to be located on the parcel to the east.
The proposed hillside lots range in size ii-om 20,400 square feet to 50,100 square feet with a
l7.26 acre private oJ,cn space parceL The 39 units within 35 acres constitutes a density of
approximately 0.90 units per acre, which is consistent with the General Plan's density range of
0.50 to 4 units per acre in the Residential Hillside Jand me designation.

Circulation
Access will be provided from Mantelli Drive via Wild Iris Drive. A series of private streets
terminating in hammer-head turnarounds and scattered with clustered parking spaces provides
circulation throughout the project site. A split street around a large specimen oak tree preserves
the tree and provides an added entryway feature to the project. An emergency vehicle access
from "Private Stree1 E" to Carriage Hills Drive will provide secondary access for the project.
Environment
There are a number of environmental features on the project site associated with the hillside
environment:
.:. Manv larRe specimen oak trees and oak canopies. Of these trees, approximately 12 are
proposed for removal, II could be impacted due to construction and grading and 6 will be
effected by canopy alterations to accommodate the streets. According to a report, Oak
Woodland Impacts and Mitigation Plan, prepared by H.T. Harvey & Associates for the
project, approximately 360 trees will be planted in areas on the west and north sides of the
site to mitigate the impacts on the trees.
.:. Hillside slopes exceeding 30 percent. The area with slopes exceeding 30 percent are
primarily located on the east and north sides of the property. To preserve the slopes, these
areas have been incorporated into a separate parcel set-aside as private open space.
.:. Small sprinR-fed pond. There is a small spring-fed pond located in the northeast corner of
the property. A 100-foot buffer area around that pond has been established in the design of
the project and is incorporated into the private open space parcel. Additionally, the
developer will be required to improve and re-vegetate the pond area consistent with the
Carriage Hills Freshwater Marsh Pond Mitigation Plan, prepared by H.T. Harvey &
Associates to provide cover, nesting areas and additional habitat.
.:. Special status plant specj.~. An existing stock pond in the northwest comer of the property
provides habitat for a special status plant species, Mt. Diablo cottonweed (Micropus
amphibolus), which was found to be abundant within a 150-foot radius of the pond. The
stock pond has been incorporated into the private open space parcel and lots 25 and 27 will
be restricted from any development that will disturb the natural state on the rear of these lots
within "Area A".
The private open space parcel is approximately 17.26 acres in size (49 percent of the overall site)
and will function to preserve these features, provide an additional 1.6 acres of tree canopy
coverage as mitigation, and additional habitat areas at each of the ponds. The parcel will be
maintained by a homeowner's association established by the developer prior 10 the sale of any of
the lots.

Mitiqation Measures:
1. The project shall be designed in accordance with earthquake design
regulations of the Uniform Building Code, subject to review and approval
by the city Building Department.
2. Geology and soils reports shall be prepared for each phase of the proposed
project. The reports and final mitigations shall consider the
recommendations as presented in the 1979 geologic feasibility
investigation prepared by Geoconsultants, Inc. The recommendations
include, but may not be limited to:
A. soil and foundation engineering investigation shall be performed in
Zones A and B to include the following:
. Determine appropriate foundation support and structural design, for
residences in Zones A and B in the event of a nearby earthquake;
. perform a detailed examination of the existing slope stability and
conformity of the proposed construction to the hillside conditions;
. Evaluate the risks and costs associated with development on the
hillsides;
B. If hillside development is to be situated in areas identified as Zone
B, an additional detailed geological investigation on selected building
sites shall be conducted. (At this time, however, the proposed site
plan does not identify any residences to be built in Zone B); and
c. Development shall not be located in Zone C. (At this time, the
proposed site plan appears to have been designed to avoid development
in Zone C).
3. structures shall not be constructed within 50 feet of any trace fault
lines (Hillside Development Guidelines lB). Lots located within 50 feet
of the fault trace line include 37 and 38 in phase I, and 61, 62, 64, 92,
93, 94, and 95 in phase 2. The project proponent shall submit a plan, as
part of the PUD for phases 1 and 2, identifying building envelopes on all
lots, taking into consideration required setbacks. The plan is subject to
review and ~pproval by the city ~lanning Department and city Engineer
prior to approval of the tentative map.
4. The project proponent shall prepare a detailed grading and erosion control
plan which shall include, but not be limited to the following:
A. In order to preserve the natural environment, any alterations to
existing contours and slopes shall be kept to a minimum. All grading
in this district shall be verified by the city Engineer as being the
least .amount necessary to provide services to the proposed structures
(Hillside Development Guidelines IIA1);
B. Grading, cut and fill, and retaining walls shall be minimized for
hillside development by using innovative building techniques which
reflect the natural topography of the site. when cut and fill is
unavoidable, it shall be stabilized by rounding and landscaping.
Retaining walls may be permitted in order to reduce cut and fill
(Hillside Development Guidelines IIA2);
c. upon completion of grading, and prior to the start of construction,
bare soil shall be protected as set forth in the city of Gilroy Erosion
control ordinance (Hillside Development Guidelines !IA3);

the city of Gilroy Erosion control Ordinance, unless specific erosion
control measures are reviewed and approved by the City Engineer
(Hillside Development control IIA4);
E. All utility mains shall be located outside of the fault zone;
F. All grading requirements as discussed in section 5.3 vegetation and
wildlife Concerns. They are as follows:
o Grading, filling, development, and/or other ground disturbance shall
not occur outside of the footprint of Phases I and 2 until the
california Tiger salamander survey results have been compiled and
mitigation measures, if required, have been agreed upon by the CDFG.
Special conditions for activity within the footprint of phase 2 (Lots
3-8) are indicated in Mitigation Measure 10.
o create a 100-foot buffer measured outward from the periphery of the
spring-fed pond and center line of the drainage above the pond.
prior to development, this buffer zone should be delineated in the
field. No development, staging of equipment or construction
materials, placement of spoils, discharge of construction-related
wastes, or vegetation removal shall be allowed in the buffer zone.
The buffer zone is intended to function as a filter strip for
reducing sediments and pollutant loading of the pond.
o The city of Gilroy Public works Department shall monitor the project
during grading and construction to ensure that the buffer zone has
been delineated, approved erosion control measures are implemented,
permanent erosion protection are established, and that best
management practices regarding the storage and disposal of
construction materials and the fueling and maintenance of vehicles
and equipment are utilized.
. Grading shall not be permitted to damage the root system of existing
native oak trees.
The detailed grading and erosion control plan shall be incorporated into
the final improvement plans for each tentative map application, subject to
review and approval by the Public Works Department prior to approval and
recordation_o~ final subdivision ~aps.
5. When a tentative map is prepared for the townhouse portion of the project
site, the townhouse building located in slopes greater than 30 percent
shall be relocated to an area with less than 30 percent slopes. The
tentative map shall be subject to review and approval by the Gilroy
Planning Department, prior to approval of the tentative map for the
townhouse portion of the project site.
6. The design and construction of all storm drainage improvements serving the
project site shall be provided by the developer, subject to review and
approval by the City Department of public Works. These design plans shall
include, but not be limited to:
A. Applicable storID water source and treatrnent-tased best management
practices, applied and maintained, as recoIDrrlended in the California
storm Water Best Management Practice Eandbook. The plan should
consider drainage to existing water features, such as the two ponds and
the creek north of the project site boun~ary, as well as the drainage
to the city'S storm drain system:
B. ?rovisions for periodic ~~eeping for roadways, driveways, and ~arking

c. A design to reflect the City's storm Water Master plan;
D. Existing drainage patterns shall be preserved to the greatest extent
possible. Man-made alterations of the natural drainage system shall be
minimized. All geotechnical reports shall identify possible springs as
a source of under-floor water and the need for foundation drains
(Hillside Development Guidelines ID) and drains to protect the street
structure;
E. Native shrubs and trees shall be retained on hillside terrain wherever
possible to help maintain natural drainage swales, reduce erosion, and
preserve the character of the hillside environment. Native yegetation
and trees shall be protected from damage during construction (Hillside
Development Guidelines IIG2);
F. Paved areas shall be designed to minimize drainage that is channeled to
one location. pathway paving shall be kept to a minimum and shall be
porous in nature, wherever feasible; and

buildings and into approved drainage structures.
7. Developers shall pay the appropriate storm drain development fees, subject
to review by the city Department of public Works prior to issuance of a
building permit.
8. The project proponent shall obtain a National pollution Discharge
Elimination Systems Program (NPDES) General Construction Permit, required
under the Federal clean Water Act, from the Regional water Quality control
Board prior to issuance of a building permit. The NPDES construction
permit required implementing both construction and post-construction phase
storm water pollution best management practices. Additionally, the
proposed project shall implement provisi~ns of the NPDES construction
permit, which require preparing and complying with a storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan.
9A. RARE PLANTS _JFuture Phases): Future phases of the proposed project shall
be designed to avoid development within Area B. Prior to development,
this area should be delineated in the field. No development, staging of
equipment or construction materials, placement of spoils, vegetation
removal, or recreational uses shall be allowed in this area. This site
should be contiguous with undeveloped habitat to avoid creating small
"island" preserves. Although the preliminary site plan depicts that the
project appears to avoid Areas A, C, 0 and F, this measure applies to
these arEas as well. Future phases shall be designed, subject to review
and approval by the City of Gilroy Planning Department prior to approval
of the ten~ative maps for these pha~Es. If Mitigation Measure 9A is not
feasible, then implement Mitigation Measure 9B.

9B. RARE PLANTS (Future Phases): conduct rare plant surveys during the
appropriate times of the year in order to determine the absence or
presence of early (February-April) and late (June-october) flowering
special status plan species that were not observed during this study in
Areas A, B, C, 0 and F~ Develop appropriate measures to mitigate
significant impacts and a monitoring program as needed. If rare plants
are not found with additional surveys, then mitigation measures would not
be required. However, it is recommended that development in Areas A, B,
C, 0 and F be avoided to the greatest extent possible, because these areas
significantly contribute to plant species diversity on the site. Rare
plant surveys shall be conducted, subject to review and approval by the
city of Gilroy Planning Department prior to approval of the tentative maps
for future phases.
IDA. CALIFORNIA TIGER SALAMANDER (phases 1 and 2): conduct a winter survey,
and a spring survey if necessary, to determine presence or absence of
Tiger salamanders on the project site and their migration routes between
the pond and upland habitat. surveys shall be conducted following CDFG
protocol, under the supervision of CDFG. These portions of the project
site encompassing Phases 1 and 2 are considered less than suitable
habitat for the Tiger salamander, with the exception of Lots 3-8 in phase
2. Therefore, grading, filling, development and/or other ground
disturping activities may occur in Phases 1 and 2 with the exception of
Lots 3-8 in phase 2. The surveys shall be conducted prior to final map
approval for Lots 3-8 in phase 2. If the Tiger Salamander is determined
not to occur in the vicinity of Lots 3-8 in Phase 2, no further
mitigation measures will be required and the lead agency may, at their
discretion, approve the final map for Lots 3-8 in Phase 2. If the Tiger
salamander is determined to occur in the vicinity of Lots 3-8 in phase 2,
appropriate mitigations will be developed in conjunction with CDFG,
depending on the specific results of the surveys, and may include
modification and/or omission of Lots 3-8 in phase 2. Appropriate
mitigations may include, but not be limited to, the following:

lOB. CALIFORNIA TIGER SALAMANDER (Future Phases): conduct a winter survey,
and a spring survey if necessary, to determine pre-sence or absence of
Tiger Salamanders on the project site and their migration routes between
the pond and upland habitat. surveys shall be conducted following CDFG
protocol, under the supervision of, CDFG. surveys shall be conducted
prior to tentative map approval for future phases of the proposed
project. If the Tiger Salamander is determined not to occur on the
project site, no further mitigation measures will be required. If the
Tiger salamander. is determined to occur on the project site, appropriate
mit'igations will be developed depending on the specific results of the
surveys in conjunction with CDFG. Appropriate mitigations may include,
but not be limited to, the following:
. Dedication of a conservation easement (area to be determined after
survey results are prepared);
. preparation of a habitat management program to manage Tiger salamander
habitat in the long-term; and
. preparation of a "modified.' initial study and mitigation negative
declaration for public review. This modified initial study shall
report the results of the surveys and present mitigation developed in
conjunction with CDFG.
surveys shall be conducted prior to approval of tentative maps for future
phases of the proposed project. The surveys described in this mitigation
measure are the same surveys required in mitigation measure lOA for Lots
3-8 in phase 2. These surveys are anticipated to take place in winter,
1994-95, and if necessary, in spring, 1995. If the Tiger salamander are
found at the project site, and in the event that the species becomes
formally listed, the developer would be required to obtain an Incidental
Take permit under section 7 of the Endangered species Act and be
responsible for the preparation and implementation of a Habitat
conservation plan (HCP) a9 a a part of the project~ The issuance of the
permit would be contingent on approval of the HCP by the FW5~
11. CALIFORNIA TIGER SALAMANDER (Phases 1 and 2): No grading, filling,
development, 3nd/or other ground disturbance shall occur outside of the
footprint of phase 1 and 2 until the California Tiger Salamander survey
results have been complied and mitigation me.asure.s have been agreed upon
by the CDFG. Special conditions for activity within the footprint of
phase 2 (Lots 3-8) are indicated in Mitigation Measure lOA.
12. BURROWING OWL (All Phases): Thirty days prior to the start of the earth-
moving activities, a pre-construction survey for burrowing owls shall be
conducted by a qualified biologist. If present, the owls shall be
passively relocated to off-site habitat contiguous with the project site.
Relocation of the owls shall be performed by a qualified wildlife
biologist, in coordination with CDFG. Nesting owls shall be relocated
after a wildlife biologist has determined that the young have fledged.
Passive relocation involves i~stalling one-way doors in burrow entrances.
Relocation shall be monitored for one week to confirm use of alternate
burrows. origir.al burrows shall be filled to prevent reuse.

13. WHITE-TAILED KITE AND LOGGERHEAD SHRIKE (All Phases): Tree-removal and
grading activities shall begin during the non-breeding season (August 1
through March 15). However, the removal of large trees must be consistent
with Mitigation Measure 14, below. scheduling construction activities in
this manner is intended to discourage use of the project site for nesting
and is less likely to result in incidental mortalities.
14. PALLID BAT (All Phases): Avoid the removal of oak trees 20 inches in
diameter or greater at breast height. All trees and snags to be saved
should be marked in the field in coordination with a wildlife biologist.
Removal of trees and snags should occur from september through october to
reduce the likelihood of destroying occupied maternity roosts and
wintering roosts. Large trees and snags may be removed during other
periods that are consistent with Mitigation Measure 13, above, if a
qualified bat specialist were to determine that roosting bats are not
present in the trees and snags proposed for removal. Tree and snag
removal shall be monitored by a wildlife biologist, or the city of Gilroy
planning Department, and are subject to section 6 of the Consolidated
Landscape policy.
15. FRESHWATER MARSH POND (All Phases): Create a lOO-foot buffer measured
outward from the periphery of the spring-fed pond and center line of the
drainage above the pond. prior to development, this buffer zone should be
delineated in the field. No development, staging of equipment or
construction materials, placement of spoils, discharge of construction-
related wastes, or vegetation removal shall be allowed in the buffer
zone. The buffer zone is intended to function as a filter strip for
reducing sediments and pollutant loading of the pond. In addition,
implement best management practices to avoid degradation of water quality
of the pond due to erosion, sedimentation, and inappropriate dispos~l of
construction wastes. Some examples of best management practices that
shall be included in the plans are:
. stabilizing denuded areas prior to the wet season;
. Limiting cQnstruction access points and stabilizing access points;
. Protection of adjacent areas with sediment barriers;
. stabilizing and preventing erosion from temporary conveyance channels;
. Appropriate construction material and construction waste handling,
storage, and disposal practices; and
. Appropriate vehicle and equipment fueling and maintenance practices.
The biologist performing the work shall consult with the City Planning
Department and the project archaeologist regarding significant
archaeological resourCES in the spring-fed pond area. This consultation
is necessary for the archaeologist and the biologist to gain an
understanding of both the arch2eological and the biological resources
located in this portion of the project site. The lOO-foot buffer shall te
delineated in the field prJor to issuance of a grading permit for phase 1
and shall remain for all phase of the propcsed project.
16. fRESHwATER ~~SH POND (All Fhases): The city of Gilroy public WorKs
Department shall monitor the project during grading and construction to
ensure that the buffer zone has been delineated, approved erosion control
measurES are implEmented, penr.anent erosion protection are established,
and that best management practices regarding the storage and dispcsal of
construction ~aterials 2nd tne fueling and rnainte~ance of vehicles and
equipment are utilized.

management practices, through a management plan, that reduce post-
construction non-point source impacts from development within the
watershed of the pond. The measures shall be consistent with Hillside
Residential Development policies, subject to review and approval by the
city of Gilroy public works Department.
18. FRESHWATER MARSH POND (All phases): Lighting that directly illuminates
the spring-fed pond shall not be established. This measure is intended to
reduce the adverse effects of night lighting on nocturnal wildlife using
the pond for drinking or foraging.
19. FRESHWATER MARSH POND (Future phases-Phase 3): Enhance the habitat values
of the spring-fed pond by establishing willow plantings around the
periphery of the pond and improving the berm. This measure is intended to
provide cover for secretive species, increase nesting and foraging
substrates, help maintain water levels, and reduce the adverse affects of
night lighting in the vicinity of the pond. A re-vegetation plan and
monitoring program shall be developed and implemented by a qualified
native habitat restoration specialist and approved by a qualified wildlife
biologist prior to project approval. Berm improvements shall be designed
into the project and approved by a qualified wildlife biologist. This
plan shall be subject to review and approval by the City of Gilroy
planning Department, prior to issuance of a grading permit for future
phases of the project.
20. FRESHWATER MARSH POND (Future Phases): The proposed project, including
the preliminary site plan for future development on the hillside, is
designed such that access to the spring-fed pond by wildlife is possible
along the undeveloped portions of the north-facing and east-facing slopes
of the hillside on the project site. If future phases are not affected by
the results of the california Tiger Salamander surveys, these corridor
areas, as depicted on the preliminary site plan, shall be left undeveloped
to avoid is~~ati~g the pond and ~mpeding wildlife use. These areas are
contiguous with oak woodlands and grasslands west of the project site and
cak woodlands to the south (future Country Estates).
21. FRESHWATER MAFSH POND (All phases): Responsible agencies shall avoid the
use of chemical and biological mosquito control at the pond.
22A. O~~ WOODLAND (All phases): In accordance with the city of Gilroy
consolidated Landscape policy, the developer shall retain a qualified
arborist to prepare a detailed report of the site to determine measurES
necessary to protect the Existing ~ative trees during project demolition,
construction, and landscaping, subject to review and approval by the city
planning Department. CDFG recommends that avoidance of Gak woodland
rGmoval be considered foremost. Therefore, the project should be
designed to avoid the removal of cak trees and w~ether or not they are
proposed for rEmoval. These treeS stall be aSSEssed by a certified
arborist.

specialist and approved by CDFG prior to project approval. The oak re-
vegetation area shall be monitored annually until the trees become
established. Monitoring results shall be submitted to CDFG.
23. OAK WOODLAND (All Phases): Design the project such that hillside
development does not result in the loss of oak trees through root damage
from grading and use of heavy machinery beneath the oak canopy. A
qualified arborist shall determine the minimum distance from oak trees
that development can occur while maintaining the health of the trees.
24. OAK WOODLAND (All Phases): Undeveloped hillside oak woodland and
grasslands shall continue to be monitored through the city of Gilroy
Hillside Development Guidelines. Except for the vegetation removal for
fire control necessitated by the city of Gilroy Fire Department, no other

the PUD Site plan dated May 25, 1994, and within the area identified as
archaeologically sensitive in Figure 10, a qualified professional
archaeological monitor shall be present whenever earth-moving activities
take place during construction of Phases 1 and 2. The qualified
professional archaeological monitor shall prepare written reports to the
City of Gilroy Planning Department on a weekly basis. If archaeological
resources are uncovered during earth moving activities, all work shall be
halted. At that time, and prior to any further construction activities
within the archaeologically sensitive area, archaeological testing will be
necessary to determine the nature, extent, and significance of the site.
Testing shall include detailed surface collection and recording,
mechanical (backhoe) trenches to determine the depth and subsurface extent
of the site, and hand excavated units to dete~ine its nature and
composition. The area identified as the "site area" in Figure 10 shall be
fenced off during construction activities associated with Phases 1 and 2.
No development, staging of equipment or construction materials, placement
of spoils, discharge of construction-related wastes, or vegetation removal
shall be allowed in this area. The qualified professional archaeological
monitor shall be hired by the city of Gilroy Planning Department, and
funded by the developer, prior to issuance of a building permit.
45e (Future Phases) In the area identified in Figure 10 as "site area",
further archaeological testing shall be performed and include the
following measures:
A. Backhoe trenches shall be placed 'at the edges of this site;
Be Hand excavation shall include a minimum of three one-by-one meter test
units. The units shall be excavated using st~ndard archaeological
techniques. These techniques require that the units be excavated in
ten centimeter vertical increments (where appropriate) with all
materials (except bulk rock) being passes through 1/8 inch mesh screens
and any materials remaining in the screens transported to the
laboratory for wet screening, again using 1/8 inch mesh. The following
studies ~hall be conducted on ~he materials recovered:
(1) Professional evaluation of animal bone recovered;
(2) professional evaluation of the artifacts and debitage recovered;
(3) At ]East four radiocarbon dates shall be run on materials
recovered, provided that suf-ficient material is recovered to permit
radiocarbon dating; and
