Exhibit B
Hollyhock Hills Subdivision Mitigation Monitoring Program
Introduction
CEQA Guidelines section 15097 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.
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 project
environmental impact report. These mitigation measures are designed to eliminate or reduce
significant adverse environmental effects to less than significant levels. These mitigation
measures 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 negative
declaration.
Monitoring Program Procedures
The City of Gilroy shall use the attached monitoring checklist for the proposed project. The
monitoring program should be implemented as follows:
1. The Gilroy Community Development Department should be responsible for
coordination of the monitoring program, including the monitoring checklist. The
Community Development Department 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 determining 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 Community
Development Department to be placed in the project fIle. If the mitigation measure has

Hollyhock Hills Subdivision
Mitigation Monitoring Program
not been complied with, the monitoring checklist should not be returned to the
Community Development Department.
3. The Gilroy Community Development Department will review the checklist to ensure
that appropriate mitigation measures and additional conditions of project approval
included in the monitoring checklist have been complied with at the appropriate time,
e.g. prior to issuance of a use permit, etc. Compliance with mitigation measures is
required for project approvals.
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 Community Development Department, describing the non-
compliance and requiring compliance within a specified period of time. Ifnon-
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.
