Initial Study:
An Initial study of this project was undertaken and prepared for the purpose of ascertaining whether this
project might have a significant effect on the environment. A copy of this study is on file at the City of Gilroy
Planning Department, 7351 Rosanna Street, Gilroy, CA 95020.
Findinas & Reasons:
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. There is no substantial evidence the project may have a significant effect on the
environment. The following reasons will support these findings:
1. The proposal is a logical component of the existing land use of this area.

construction of off-site improvements.
3. The proposed project is consistent with the adopted goals and policies of the General Plan of the City of
Gilroy.
4. City staff independently reviewed the Initial Study, and this Negative Declaration reflects the independent
judgment of the City of Gilroy.
Mitiaation Measures:
Prior to approval and issuance of the final improvement plans, the following mitigation measures shall be
implemented:
1. The project applicant shall specify in project plans the implementation of the following dust control measures
during grading and construction activities for the proposed project. The measures shall be implemented as
necessary to adequately control dust, subject to the review and approval by the City of Gilroy Engineering
Division:
The following measures shall be implemented:
. Water all construction areas at least twice daily;
. Cover all trucks hauling soil, sand, and other loose materials;
. Apply clean gravel, water, or non-toxic soil stabilizers on all unpaved access roads, parking areas and
staging areas at constructions sites;
. Remove excess soils from paved access roads, parking areas and staging areas at construction sites;
. Sweep streets daily (with mechanical sweepers) if visible soil material is carried onto adjacent publiC
streets;
. Hydroseed or apply non-toxic soil stabilizers to inactive construction areas (previously graded areas
inactive for ten days or more);
. Enclose, cover, water twice daily, or apply non-toxic soil binders to exposed stockpiles (dirt, sand, etc.);
. Limit traffic speeds on unpaved roads to 15 miles per hour;
. Install sandbags or other erosion control measures to prevent silt runoff to public roadways;
. Replant vegetation in disturbed areas as soon as possible;
. Install wheel washers for all exiting trucks or wash off the tires or tracks of all trucks and equipment
leaving the construction site;
. Install wind breaks at the windward sides of the construction areas;
. Suspend excavation and grading activities when wind (as instantaneous gusts) exceeds 25 miles per
hour;
. The idling of all construction equipment shall not exceed five minutes;
. Limit the hour.s of operation of heavy duty equipment and/or the amount of equipment in use;

. Gasoline-powered equipment shall be equipped with catalytic converters, where feasible.
2. Fire Sprinkler systems shall be installed per NFPA 13D requirements. Systems are subject to review and
approval by the Fire Marshal.
3. The project applicant shall pay all applicable fire department development impact fees to the City's Capital
Improvement Program, subject to monitoring by the Gilroy Building Division.
4. The project applicant shall pay all applicable police department development fees to the City's Capital
Improvement Program subject to monitoring by the Building Division.
5. The project applicant shall pay the applicable school development fees, subject to monitoring by the Gilroy
Unified School District and Building Division.
6. The project applicant shall disclose to potential home owners that elementary students in their household will
not attend the adjacent Antonio del Buono Elementary School.
7. The project applicant shall pay all applicable park development fees, subject to monitoring by the Building
Division.
8. The project applicant shall pay all applicable library development fees, subject to monitoring by the Building
Division.
9. The project applicant shall pay all applicable infrastructure impact fees to the City of Gilroy, subject to
monitoring by the Gilroy Engineering Division.
10. The project applicant sl1all pay all applicable infrastructure impact fees to the City of Gilroy, subject to
monitoring by the Gilroy Engineering Division.
Prior to approval and issuance of a grading or building permit, the following mitigation measures shall be
implemented:
11. Subject to the review and approval of the Planning Division, new outdoor lighting shall be directed on-site and
designed and installed with shielding.
12. The project shall comply with applicable Gilroy General Plan policies and actions and with the City's Lighting
Standards.
13. Focused plant surveys should be conducted for Hoover's button-celery in July and legenere between April
and June. If these species are not observed during the focused surveys, they can be considered absent from
the project site. If they are observed, they should be mapped and impacts to the population(s) from the
proposed project quantified. If impacts are anticipated, a mitigation and monitoring plan should be developed
in consultation with CDFG that may include population avoidance, seed collection and propagation, and/or
other measures to minimize the adverse impacts to the species.
14. If ground disturbance is scheduled to occur during the breeding bird season (February 1 to August 1), a
qualified biologist shall conduct pre-construction nesting bird surveys within 30 days prior to the onset of any
construction activity. If white-tailed kite, loggerhead shrike, California horned lark, or any other bird species
protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and Fish and Game Codes are observed nesting on or near the
project site, an appropriate buffer zone shall be established around all active nests to protect nesting adults
and their young from construction disturbance. Buffer zones shall be determined in consultation with CDFG
based on the site conditions and the species potentially impacted. Work within the buffer zone should be
postponed until all the young are fledged, as determined by a qualified biologist. Currently, CDFG requests a
300-foot buffer for nesting raptors such as white-tailed kite, a 100-foot buffer for special-status passerines
such as loggerhead shrike, and a 50-foot buffer for all other native bird nests (Johnston, pers. comm.). To
3
Harvest Park Annexation and Residential Subdivision
Negative Declaration
January 2007
accommodate nesting raptors, pre-construction surveys should include all land within 300 feet of the edge of
the site.
15. A qualified burrowing owl biologist shall conduct a burrowing owl pre-construction survey within 30 days prior
to initial ground disturbance or construction activity. The qualified burrowing owl biologist shall survey the
entire project site and a 250-foot buffer to determine presence or absence of the species.
. If burrowing owls are observed on the project site outside of the breeding season, an experienced
burrowing owl biologist may use passive relocation to prevent take and ensure burrowing owls are not
present on the project site for construction and grading activities. A qualified burrowing owl biologist shall
do all exclusionary device installation and subsequent monitoring. Passive relocation should be
performed in consultation with CDFG.
. If burrowing owls are occupying the project site during the nesting season (February 1 through August 1),
nest burrows shall be avoided by setting up a 250-foot exclusion area around the nest burrow (CDFG
1995) and CDFG shall be contacted for guidance. The active nest shall be monitored to ensure
construction activity does not disturb the nesting owls or cause nest abandonment. Work within the buffer
zone shall be postponed until all the young are independent, as determined by a qualified biologist.
CDFG may require a detailed mitigation plan that includes passive relocation after the young have
fledged and maintenance of occupied habitat offsite in perpetuity.
16. A site assessment for CTS shall be performed according to current protocol, which involves submitting
specific information in a report to the USFWS (USFWS and CDFG 2003). Based on the results of the site
assessment, the USFWS will determine if the site may provide habitat for CTS and whether further surveys
are necessary. If the USFWS no longer considers the site to be appropriate for CTS, then no further actions
are required.
If the USFWS requires focused surveys according to protocol, two consecutive years of drift-fence studies are
needed to support a negative finding (USFWS and CDFG 2003). If CTS are present, a take permit must be
acquired, which typically includes acquisition and management of occupied CTS lands in perpetuity.
17. Within 14 to 30 days prior to construction, a qualified biologist shall conduct a ground survey for American
badger dens. If dens are present, the qualified biologist shall determine if they are occupied by studying
recent sign or monitoring for tracks using den dusting techniques for three consecutive days. If active dens
are present, CDFG shall be contacted for permission to excavate and passively relocate the badgers. Note
that CDFG may not approve excavation of active natal dens, which could be avoided by constructing in the
late summer or fall under the direction of a qualified biologist.
18. A jurisdictional wetland delineation shall be conducted, and verified by the Corps, to determine the presence
and extent of jurisdictional wetlands and other waters on the project site. If jurisdictional areas are verified on
the project site, and these will be impacted by the proposed project, a Corps permit (and subsequent 401
certification) would be required. In addition, if a bridge is built across L1agas Creek, and any portion of the
bridge falls within CDFG jurisdiction (e.g., below the top of bank of the Creek), a Streambed Alteration
Agreement would be required. Any impacts to jurisdictional waters that may occur as a result of the proposed
project would be reduced to less-than-significant levels by following the terms and conditions of the Corps
permit, 401 certification, and CDFG Streambed Alteration Agreement, if required.
19. If prehistoric or historic period materials are discovered during grading or construction, work shall be halted
within 50 meters (165 feet) of the find until a qualified professional archaeologist can evaluate it. If the find is
determined to be significant, appropriate mitigation measures shall be formulated and implemented (Gilroy
General Plan Policy 5.07).
20. If human remains are found during construction there shall be no further excavation or disturbance of the site
or any nearby area reasonably suspected to (Iverlie adjacent human remains until the coroner of Santa Clara
County is contacted to determine that no investigation of the cause of death is required. If the coroner
determines the remains to be Native American the coroner s!lall contact the Native American Heritage

Commission within 24 hours. The Native American Heritage Commission shall identify the person or persons
it believes to be the most likely descendent (MLD) from the deceased Native American. The MLD may then
make recommendations to the landowner or the person responsible for the excavation work, for means of
treating or disposing of, with appropriate dignity, the human remains and associated grave goods as provided
in Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. The landowner or his authorized representative shall rebury the
Native American human remains and associated grave goods with appropriate dignity on the property in a
location not subject to further disturbance if: a) the Native American Heritage Commission is unable to identify
a MLD or the MLD failed to make a recommendation within 24 hours atter being notified by the commission;
b) the descendent identified fails to make a recommendation; or c) the landowner or his authorized
representative rejects the recommendation of the descendent, and the mediation by the Native American
Heritage Commission fails to provide measures acceptable to the landowner.
21. The project applicant shall submit a soils investigation prepared by a qualified soils engineer for the proposed
project. The recommendations of the soils investigation shall be incorporated into the final building plans,
subject to the review and approval by the City of Gilroy Engineering Division prior to approval of building
permits.
22. The project applicant shall design all structures in accordance with the Uniform Building Code for seismic
design. Foundation design should include the use of structural mat or post-tension slab foundations, rather

foundations, basement walls, roads, and other structures to mitigate impacts associated with expansive soils.
The soils report shall be subject to review and approv;31 by the City of Gilroy Engineering Division prior to
issuance of building permits.
25. The project applicant shall prepare a detailed Flood Management and Mitigation Plan (FMMP), subject to
approval by the Santa Clma Val!ey Water District (SCVWD) and the City of Gilroy.
26. The project applicant shall submit ::I Notice of Intent (NOI), jetailed engineering designs, and a Storm Water
Pollution Prevention Plan (SVVPPP) program to the Central Coast RWQCB to obtain a NPDES General
Construction permit prior to any grading or construction activities. This permit shall require implementation of
an approved SWPPP that uses storm water Best Management Practices to control runoff, erosion, and
sedimentation from the site during the grading/construction and long-term operational phases of the project.
The SWPPP is subject to review and approval by the Central Coast RWQCB and the Gilroy Engineering
Division.
27. The first floor of all buildings shall be constructed a minimum of two feet above existing ground level to reduce
flood risks within Zone X designated areas.
28. The following language shall be included on all permits issued for this project, subject to the review and
approval of the Building Division: "AII::onstruction activities shall be limited to weekdays between 7:00 a.m.
