Adopted June 13,2005
Findine:s & 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.
2. Identified adverse impacts are proposed to be mitigated through preparation of special studies and
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.
Mitie:ation Measures:
Prior to approval and issuance of the final improvement plans, the following mitigation measures shall be
implemented:
1. The project applicant shall reduce the proposed project's residential density to the City of Gilroy's
permissible limit within the Neighborhood District designation.
2. 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: (Modified Gilroy General Plan EIR
Mitigation Measure 4.6-A)
The following measures shall be implemented for all construction sites:
. During high dust conditions, 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;

11. The project applicant shall prepare a detailed Flood Management and Mitigation Plan (FlMMP),
subject to approval by the Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD) and the City of Gilroy
Building Division.
12. If trees or shrubs are scheduled for removal during the breeding season (February 1 to August 1),
a qualified biologist shall conduct pre-construction nesting birds surveys within 30 days prior to
the onset of any construction activity. All trees and snags should be searched for bird nests during
the pre-construction survey. If bird nests are observed, an appropriate buffer zone shall be
established around all active nests to protect nesting adults and their young from construction
disturbance. If active raptor nests are located on the Study Area, a buffer zone of 200-250 feet
shall be established around each nest unless a smaller distance is suitable to reduce nesting
disturbance. Buffer zones implemented around avian nests can be used to avoid impacts to birds
and nests protected by the MBTA and Sections 3515 and 3503 of the Fish and Game Code.
Buffer zones shall be determined based 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.
13. During the earth disturbing actIVIties of construction, if any archaeological deposits are
encountered, an archaeologist shall be summoned on-site to document and monitor all subsurface
prehistoric or historic deposits. All activities in the area should cease and the archaeologist
should inspect the discovery and prepare a recommendation for a further course of action. This
mitigation measure shall be subject to the review and approval of the Planning Division.
14. In the event that human remains are discovered, there shall be no disposition of such human
remains, other than in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in the California
Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 and Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. These code
provisions require notification of the County Coroner and the Native American Heritage
Commission, who in turn must notify those persons believed to be most likely descended from the
deceased Native American for appropriate disposition of the remains. Excavation or disturbance
may continue in other areas of the project site outside the area affected by such discovery. This
mitigation measure shall be subject to the review and approval of the Planning Division.
15. 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 any building permits.
16. 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 than conventional spread footings. Structural design is subject to the review
and approval by the City of Gilroy Building Division prior to the issuance of building permits.
17. The applicant shall prepare an erosion and deposition control plan detailing appropriate methods
of erosion and deposition control during grading, construction and operation of the proposed

building foundations, basement walls, roads, and other structures. The soils report shall be subject
to review and approval by the City of Gilroy Engineering Division prior to issuance of the
building permits.
19. The project applicant shall submit a Notice of Intent (NOI), detailed engineering designs, and a
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) 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 (BMPs) to control runoff, erosion and sedimentation from the site. The
SWPPP is subject to review and approval by the Central Coast RWQCB and the Gilroy
Engineering Division.
20. The following language shall be included on all permits issued for this project, subject to the
review and approval of the Building Division: "All construction activities shall be limited to

manufacturers' specifications.
22. Noise construction activities whose specific location on the site may be flexible (e.g., operation of
compressors and generators, cement mixing, general truck idling) shall be conducted as far as
possible from the nearest noise-sensitive land uses, and natural and/or manmade barriers (e.g.,
intervening construction trailers) shall be used to screen propagation of noise from such activities
towards these land uses to the maximum extent possible.
23. The use of those pieces of construction equipment or construction methods with the greatest peak
noise generation potential shall be minimized. Examples include the use of drills and jackhammers.
24. Barriers such as plywood structures or flexible sound control curtains shall be erected along the
western edge of the site to minimize noise exposure to nearby residential uses.
25. Project Driveways on Monterey Road - The northern-most proposed project driveway on
Monterey Road shall be eliminated and the remaining project driveway (south driveway) on
Monterey Road shall be widened to 35 feet in order to satisfy City of Gilroy street design
standards.
26. Security Gate Operations - To reduce the potential for inbound vehicles backing up onto Church
Street, the security gate on Church Street shall only be used by residents of the project. Visitor
access to the residential portion of the project shall occur via the gate between the residential and
