October 25, 2006
The initial study identified potentially significant effects on the environment. However, this
project has been mitigated (see Mitigation Measures below which avoid or mitigate the effects)
to a point where no significant effects will occur. On the basis of the whole record, there is no
substantial evidence the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The following
reasons will support these findings:
~ The proposal is a logical component of the existing land use of this area.
~ Identified adverse impacts are proposed to be mitigated on-site and a mitigation
monitoring and reporting program have been prepared.
~ The proposed project is consistent with the adopted goals and policies of the General
Plan ofthe City of Gilroy, as well as the Hecker Pass Specific Plan.
~ City staff independently reviewed the Initial Study, and this Negative Declaration reflects
the independent judgment of the City of Gilroy.
~ With the application of the following Mitigation Measures the proposed project will not
have any significant impacts on the enyironment.
~ The Gilroy Planning Division is the custodian of the documents and other material that
constitute the record of proceedings upon which this decision is based.

Planning Division, no more than 30 days prior to commencement of grading or construction
actiyities on the project site, field surveys shall be conducted by a qualified biologist to
determine if burrowing owls are present in the construction zone or within 200 feet of the
construction zone. Areas within 200 feet of the construction zone that are not within the control
of the applicant shall be visually assessed from the project site. These surveys shall be required
only if any construction would occur during the nesting and/or breeding season of burrowing
owls (February 1 through August 31) and/or during the winter residency period (December 1
through January 31). If active nests are found in the survey area, a burrowing owl habitat
mitigation plan shall be submitted to the California Department of Fish and Game for reyiew and
approval. The burrowing owl habitat mitigation plan shall contain mitigation measures contained
in the California Department ofFish and Game Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation
(California Department of Fish and Game 1995). Compliance with this mitigation measure may
include, but not be limited to, the following:

This mitigation measure is subject to the review and approval of the Planning Division.
A report documenting survey results shall be subject to review and approval by the Planning
Division, prior to issuance of a building permit.
81-8. Pre-construction surveys for nesting raptors will be conducted by a qualified biologist if
construction is to occur during the nesting season (April 15 - August 1) to reduce impacts to a
less than significant level. If raptor nests are located during pre-construction surveys, a qualified
biologist shall establish a 300-foot buffer around each nest for the duration of the breeding
season (until such time as the young are fully fledged) to prevent nest harassment and brood
mortality. Work may proceed prior to August I only if a qualified biologist conducts nest checks
and establishes that the young are fully fledged. Every effort will be made to avoid removal or
impact to known raptor nests within project boundaries. If trees known to support raptor nests
cannot be avoided, removal ofthese trees will only occur during the non-breeding season to
reduce impacts to a less than significant level. This mitigation measure is subject to the review
and approyal of the Planning Division.
A report documenting survey results shall be subject to review and approval by the Planning
Division, prior to issuance of a building permit.
Bl-9. Pre-construction surveys for roosting bats will be performed no more than 30 days prior
to construction. If roosts are found, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the CDFG
will be obtained by the contractor in order to remove bat species. Alternatively, the construction
schedule will be modified to initiate construction after August 1, when young have fledged.
Alternative habitat will need to be provided if bats are to be excluded from maternity roosts. If
this is the case, a roost with comparable spatial and thermal characteristics will be constructed
and provided. CDFG shall be consulted regarding specific designs. This mitigation measure is
subject to the review and approval of the Planning Division.
A report documenting survey results shall be subject to review and approyal by the Planning
Division, prior to issuance of a building permit.

APPENDIX 6
MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM
DeNova Homes Subdivision West
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
mitigated negative declaration. 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
environmental impact report.
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.
City of Gilroy
DeNova Homes Subdivision West
Mitigation Monitoring Program
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 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. If 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.
