The following measures shall be implemented at all construction sites greater
than four acres in area:
• 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 mph;
• Install sandbags or other erosion control measures to prevent silt runoff to
public roadways; and
• Replant vegetation in disturbed areas as quickly as possible.
EXHIBIT A
The following measures are strongly encouraged at construction sites that are
large in area, located near sensitive receptors or which for any other reason may
warrant additional emission reductions:
• Install wheel washers for all existing trucks, or wash off the tires or tracks
of all trucks and equipment leaving the site;
• Install wind breaks, or plant trees /vegetative wind breaks at windward
side(s) of construction areas;
C Suspend excavation and grading activity when winds (instantaneous
gusts) exceed 25 miles per hour; and
• Limit the area subject to excavation, grading and other construction
activity at any one time.
10. The applicant shall obtain a Santa Clara Valley Habitat Plan permit from the City
of Gilroy, prior to issuance of a grading permit. The permit shall include all
applicable project conditions (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 4).
11. Subject to the review of the City of Gilroy Planning Division, no more than 30
days prior to commencement of grading or construction activities for
development proposed in or adjacent to potential nesting habitat (i.e., riparian
woodland and oak woodland), a tree survey shall be conducted by a qualified
biologist to determine if active nest(s) of protected birds are present in the trees.
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. This survey shall
be required only if any construction would occur during the nesting and /or
breeding season of protected bird species potentially nesting in the tree
(generally March 1 through August 1). If active nest(s) are found, clearing and
construction within 200 feet of the tree, or as recommended by the qualified
biologist, shall be halted until the nest(s) are vacated and juveniles have fledged
and there is no evidence of a second attempt at nesting, as determined by the
qualified biologist. If construction activities are not scheduled between March 1
and August 1, no further shrike or tree surveys shall be required (corresponds to
EIR Mitigation Measure 5).
12. Subject to the review of the City of Gilroy Planning Division, no more than 30
days prior to commencement of grading or construction activities for
development proposed in or adjacent to potential roost habitat (i.e., riparian
woodland and oak woodland), pre- construction surveys for bat roosts shall be
performed by a qualified biologist. If bat roost sites are found, the biologist shall
implement a program to remove /displace the bats prior to the removal of known
roost sites. In addition, an alternate roost site shall be constructed in the vicinity
of the known roost site. Specifications of the alternate roost shall be determined
by a bat specialist (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 6).
13. Prior to approval of each tentative map or use permit, project plans for future
EXHIBIT A
development on the project site shall be designed to avoid unnecessary filling or
other disturbance of natural drainage courses and associated oak/riparian
woodland vegetation to the greatest extent feasible, subject to review and
approval of the City of Gilroy Planning Division. In the event that disturbance of
site drainages and associated oak/riparian woodland vegetation cannot be
avoided (i.e., Reservoir Canyon Creek Bridge construction, culverts, storm drain
outfalls, etc.), authorization from the California Department of Fish and Game
through Section 1600 et. seq. of the Fish and Game Code and /or the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers through Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and the Regional
Water Quality Control Board through Section 401 of the Clean Water Act shall be
obtained, if required, prior to issuance of building or grading permits for any
activity that might encroach on the site's drainages. Conditions imposed on
these permits and /or authorizations may include but not be limited to the
following (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 8):
• Construction work shall be initiated and completed during the summer and
fall months when the drainages are dry, or at least have a very low flow.
Typically, no construction work shall be allowed between October 15th
and April 15th.
• A Habitat Restoration Plan shall be prepared to identify the exact amount
and location of affected and replacement habitat, to specify on -site
revegetation with locally- obtained native species within the buffer areas to
mitigate habitat loss, and to provide specifications for installation and
maintenance of the replacement habitat. Any loss of riparian or wetland
vegetation resulting from construction activities shall be mitigated on -site
at a minimum 3:1 replacement ratio.
14. Any loss of oak and /or riparian woodland habitat resulting from development
shall require the project proponent to retain a qualified biologist to prepare a
Habitat Restoration Plan to identify the exact amount and location of affected and
replacement habitat, specify an appropriate plant palette, and provide
specifications for installation and maintenance of the replacement habitat.
Replacement vegetation shall consist of locally- obtained native plant species.
Any loss of riparian woodland vegetation shall be mitigated on -site at a minimum
of 3:1 replacement ratio, unless otherwise determined by the Department of Fish
and Game and the City of Gilroy. Any loss of oak woodland vegetation shall
require preservation of on -site oak woodland at a ratio of 3:1 and replanting on-
site at a ratio of 1:1, unless otherwise determined by the Department of Fish and
Game and the City of Gilroy. The Habitat Restoration Plan shall be prepared
prior to issuance of building or grading permits for any activity requiring removal
of oak and /or riparian woodland habitat, subject to review and approval of the
City of Gilroy Planning Division and California Department of Fish and Game
(corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 9).
15. Prior to commencement of construction activities associated with Reservoir
Canyon Creek Bridge, the project proponent responsible for construction of the
bridge shall arrange for a qualified biologist to monitor bridge construction
EXHIBIT A
activities to ensure there are no impacts to wetlands and associated oak/riparian
woodland habitat (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 10).
16. Prior to recordation of the first final map within the Glen Loma Ranch Specific
Plan area, the project proponent shall ensure that a suitable ownership structure
(i.e., homeowner's association or similar mechanism) is established prior to
occupancy to take long -term responsibility for maintaining and funding the
ongoing management of any open space, woodland, vegetated riparian, or other
habitat conservation easements on site. The homeowners' association, or other
suitable mechanism, shall be structured so that it is responsible for enforcing
habitat protection and maintenance measures to protect onsite biological
resources. The homeowners' association may assess fines to property owners
who are non - compliant with these measures. Fines assessed by the
homeowner's association shall be used for on -site habitat protection,
maintenance, and restoration, as necessary. Any noncompliance shall be
reported to the City of Gilroy Planning Division and the California Department of
Fish and Game by the homeowners association (corresponds to EIR Mitigation
Measure 11).
17. Prior to issuance of grading and /or building permits, subject to the review of the
Gilroy Planning Division, the project applicant shall install siltation fencing, hay
bales, or other suitable erosion control measures along portions of natural and
manmade drainage channels in which construction will occur and within 20 feet
of construction and /or staging areas in order to prevent sediment from filling the
creek (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 13).
18. Prior to issuance of grading and /or building permits, the project proponent of any
future development on the project site shall submit a Landscape Plan, for review
and approval by the City of Gilroy Planning Division. Landscaping plans for
areas adjacent to riparian habitat shall include appropriate guidelines to prevent
contamination of drainages and their associated riparian habitat by pesticides,
herbicides, fungicides, and fertilizers. Landscaping shall include appropriate
native plants species and should not include plantings of non - native, invasive
plant species (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 14).
19. Prior to approval of a tentative map for each phase of the proposed project
requiring removal or alteration to potential wetlands and /or waters of the U.S., a
wetland delineation shall be prepared according to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
guidelines. The actual acreage of impacts to waters of the U.S. and wetlands
shall be determined based on project plans for each development project and the
wetland delineation for each development phase. The project proponent shall
obtain all necessary permits and /or approvals from the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers and shall retain a restoration specialist to prepare a detailed wetland
mitigation plan, if necessary, subject to review and approval by the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers and the City of Gilroy Planning Division. The plan shall
include, but not be limited to, creation of wetlands on site to mitigate for
EXHIBIT A
unavoidable impacts to waters of the U.S. and wetlands resulting from
development activities (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 15).
20. A schematic lighting plan shall be submitted with each development proposal for
review and approval by the Planning Division. Exterior lighting for any
development proposed adjacent to open space areas shall be of low stature (i.e.,
20 feet) and shall be of a full cutoff design or include opaque shields to reduce
illumination of the surrounding landscape. Lighting shall be directed away from
open space areas (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 16).
21. Prior to approval of a tentative map for each phase of the proposed project
containing or adjacent to preserved natural open space areas, a signage plan
shall be prepared to outline the language, number and location of signs to
dissuade people from straying off trails and to prohibit unleashed dogs in the
open space areas, subject to approval by the City of Gilroy Planning Division
(corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 17).
22. Prior to commencement of construction activities, the protected zone of any trees
or groups of trees to be retained shall be fenced to prevent injury to the trees
during construction. Soil compaction, parking of vehicles or heavy equipment,
stockpiling of construction materials, and /or dumping of materials shall not be
allowed within the protected zone. The fencing shall remain in place until all
construction activities are complete (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 19).
23. Project proponents shall submit a soils investigation prepared by a qualified soils
engineer for future development on the project site. The recommendation of the
soils investigation shall be incorporated into final building plans, subject to the
review and approval by the Gilroy Engineering Division prior to approval of any
building permits (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 20).
24. The project applicant shall design all structures in accordance with the Uniform
Building Code for seismic design. In addition, all recommendations in the
geotechnical reports prepared for the project shall be implemented. Structural
design is subject to the review and approval by the Gilroy BLES Division prior to
the issuance of building permits (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 21).
25. Each tentative map shall include a detention pond or ponds to collect storm water
in the case of 2 -, 10 -, 25 -, and 100 -year peak storm events. Detention ponds
shall be designed according to the recommendations presented in the Hydrologic
Analysis (Schaaf & Wheeler 2005) and should include, but not be limited to the
following (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 23):
a. The pond(s) should be located to collect the storm water runoff from the
project site and discharge to the existing drainage corridors and /or the
existing outfalls tributary to Uvas Creek.
b. Any discharge from the pond(s) should release a maximum of storm water
runoff for pre - project conditions (see tables 18 and 19 in the Draft EIR).
EXHIBIT A
C. The pond(s) should be sized a total of approximately 8.9 acre -feet to
provide for appropriate storm water quantities and filter pollutants for the
purpose of water quality.
d. The pond'(s) shall not replace any proposed preserved open space at the
project site, that was assumed to provide flood control and water quality
benefits modeled in the Hydrological Analysis (Schaaf & Wheeler 2003).
26. The project applicant for any proposed development on the project site, shall, for
each phase of the development, submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) and detailed
engineering designs to the Central Coast RWQCB. The associated permit shall
require development and implementation of a SWPPP that uses storm water
"Best Management Practices" to control runoff, erosion and sedimentation from
the site. The SWPPP must include Best Management Practices that address
source reduction and, if necessary, shall include practices that require treatment.
The SWPPP shall be submitted to the City of Gilroy Engineering Division for
review and approval prior to approval of a building permit for each phase of the
project (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 24).
27. The project applicant shall submit plans for review by, and obtain an approved
permit from the Santa Clara Valley Water District for any work that requires a
permit from the water district (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 25).
28. Future applicants in the Glen Loma Ranch specific plan area shall prepare a
post- construction storm water management plan, subject to the review and
approval of the Gilroy Engineering Division prior to the approval of final
improvement plans, that shall include structural and non - structural best
management practices (BMPs) for the reduction of pollutants in storm water to
the maximum extent practicable (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 26).
29. Prior to issuance of a grading permit for all areas within the Specific Plan area,
the following measures shall be incorporated into the project plans to mitigate
construction noise, subject to the review and approval of the City of Gilroy
Engineering Division (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 28):
a. Construction shall be limited to weekdays between 7 AM and 7 PM and
Saturdays and holidays between 9 AM and 7 PM, with no construction on
Sundays;
b. All internal combustion engine- driven equipment shall be equipped with
mufflers that are in good condition and appropriate for the equipment; and
C. Stationary noise - generating equipment shall be located as far as possible
from sensitive receptors when sensitive receptors adjoin or are near a
construction project area.
30. Add an eastbound and a westbound left -turn lane on the Fitzgerald and Masten
approaches to the Monterey Road /Masten Avenue intersection, and change the
east -west signal phasing from split phasing to protected phasing (corresponds to
EIR Mitigation Measure 30).
EXHIBIT A
This intersection is within the City of Gilroy's Transportation Master Plan and
therefore, impact fees are collected for improvements at this intersection.
Therefore, implementation of this mitigation measure is the responsibility of the
project proponent, prior to issuance of the first building permit.
31. The applicant shall design and construct a two -lane roundabout (ultimate
condition) at Santa Teresa Boulevard/Tenth Street/Miller Avenue. The City of
Gilroy will reimburse the developer for the cost of all ultimate improvements of
the RAB intersection up to the budgeted amount shown in the current city traffic
impact fund. The design shall be subject to review and approval of the City
Engineer and approval of an encroachment permit from Santa Clara County.
Construction of the roundabout is required to be completed prior to issuance of
the first building permit (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 31).
32. Convert the Thomas Road /Luchessa Avenue intersection to a one -lane modern
roundabout (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 33).
O
Signalize the Thomas Road /Luchessa Avenue intersection, add a northbound
right turn lane, and add a northbound right turn overlap phasing to the signal
phasing.
The project proponent shall be responsible for paying for the design and
implementation of this mitigation measure, prior to the issuance of the first
building permit for Phase I.
Note: The mitigated negative declaration for the planned elementary school
within the specific plan, located on Luchessa Avenue within the Cabernet
neighborhood, required implementation of this mitigation measure prior to
opening the school. It was required due to unacceptable levels of services
during the mid - afternoon peak hour. The mitigation measure requires the school
district to pay their fair share of this improvement determined by agreement
between the school district and the City of Gilroy.
33. Signalize the Santa Teresa Boulevard /Fitzgerald Avenue intersection and add
eastbound and westbound left turn lanes (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure
34).
The project proponent shall be responsible for paying for the design and
implementation of this mitigation measure, prior to the issuance of the first
building permit in Phase II.
34. Add a northbound left turn lane to the Uvas Park Drive /Miller Avenue
intersection.
EXHIBIT A
The project proponent shall be responsible for paying for the design and
implementation of this mitigation measure, prior to the issuance of the first
building permit in Phase II (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 35).
Prepare a traffic management plan of the Miller Avenue street section southwest
of the intersection with Uvas Park Drive.
The project proponent shall be responsible for preparation of the plan. The plan
shall be subject to review and approval by the City staff and constructed by the
project, prior to issuance of the first building permit in Phase II
35. Add second eastbound and westbound left turn lanes to the Santa Teresa
Boulevard /First Street intersection (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 37).
The project proponent shall be responsible for paying for the design and
implementation of this mitigation measure, prior to the issuance of the first
building permit in Phase III.
36. The applicant shall design and construct a two -lane roundabout (ultimate
condition) at Santa Teresa Boulevard/West Luchessa Avenue /Ballybunion Drive.
The City of Gilroy will reimburse the developer for the cost of all ultimate
improvements of the RAB intersection up to the budgeted amount shown in the
current city traffic impact fund. The design shall be subject to review and
approval of the City Engineer and approval of an encroachment permit from
Santa Clara County. Construction of the roundabout is required to be completed
prior to issuance of the first building permit in the Wild Chestnut or Home Ranch
neighborhoods in Phase 1 (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 38).
37. Signalize the Uvas Park Drive /Miller Avenue intersection and add northbound
and southbound left -turn lanes (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 39).
The project proponent shall be responsible for paying for the design and
implementation of this mitigation measure, prior to the issuance of the first
building permit in Phase III.
Note: This intersection would operate at LOS C during the AM and PM peak
hours with implementation of this improvement. However, under General Plan
Buildout Conditions, the Tenth Street Bridge would be required to be constructed.
With the Tenth Street Bridge, this intersection would operate at LOS A during the
AM peak hour and LOS C during the PM peak hour with NO improvements, e.g.
signalization and lane additions. Therefore, the mitigation measure identified
above would not be required under General Plan Buildout Conditions, assuming
the Tenth Street Bridge were constructed.
One option would be to only add the northbound left -turn lane as recommended
in the previous scenario (Background Plus Project Phases I and II) and consider
EXHIBIT A
LOS E as an acceptable short term level of service for this intersection. Another
option is to implement the mitigation measure above (signalize the intersection
and add the left -turn lanes, which would improve operations to LOS C during the
AM and PM peak hours), with the knowledge that the signal could be removed
once the Tenth Street Bridge is constructed at General Plan Buildout Conditions.
38. If the Thomas Road /Luchessa Avenue intersection was converted to a one lane
modern roundabout, add a second lane to the roundabout and widen the
Luchessa Avenue Bridge to four lanes. This would result in LOS A during both
the AM and PM peak hours (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 41).
x .
If the Thomas Road /Luchessa Avenue intersection was signalized and a
northbound right turn lane was added, add a second westbound left turn lane and
westbound through lane and widen the Luchessa Avenue Bridge to four lanes.
The project proponent shall be responsible for paying for the design and
implementation of this mitigation measure, prior to the issuance of the first
building permit in Phase III.
39. Add second northbound and westbound left turn lanes at the Monterey
Street/Luchessa Avenue intersection (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure
43).
The project proponent shall be responsible for paying for the design and
implementation of this mitigation measure, prior to the issuance of the first
building permit in Phase III.
40. Add an eastbound and westbound through lane on First Street at its intersection
with Santa Teresa Boulevard (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 44).
The project proponent shall be responsible for paying for the design and
implementation of this mitigation measure, prior to the issuance of the first
building permit in Phase III.
41. Due to the possibility that significant buried cultural resources might be found
during construction, the following language shall be included on any permits
issued for the project site, including, but not limited to building permits for future
development, subject to the review and approval of the Gilroy Planning Division
(corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 45):
If archaeological resources are discovered during 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.
EXHIBIT A
42. In the event of an accidental discovery or recognition of any human remains in
any location other than a dedicated cemetery, the City shall ensure that this
language is included in all permits in accordance with CEQA Guidelines section
15064.5(e), subject to the review and approval of the City of Gilroy Planning
Division (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 46):
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
overlie 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 shall
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 after

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.
EMC PLANNING GROUP INC. 1 -1
1.0 INTRODUCTION
MONITORING PROGRAM
The basis for this monitoring program is the mitigation measures included in the project
environmental impact report, and as revised through the EIR addendum process. 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 Final
EIR, as modified in the Addendum EIR.
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 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; and

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.

Note: This intersection would operate at LOS C during the AM and PM peak hours with

the Tenth Street Bridge would be required to be constructed. With the Tenth Street
Bridge, this intersection would operate at LOS A during the AM peak hour and LOS C
during the PM peak hour with NO improvements, e.g. signalization and lane additions.
Therefore, the mitigation measure identified above would not be required under General
Plan Buildout Conditions, assuming the Tenth Street Bridge were constructed.
One option would be to only add the northbound left -turn lane as recommended in the
previous scenario (Background Plus Project Phases I and II) and consider LOS E as an
acceptable short term level of service for this intersection. Another option is to implement
the mitigation measure above (signalize the intersection and add the left -turn lanes, which
