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.
32. 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.
33. 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 (MILD) 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 MILD or the MILD failed to make a recommendation within 24 hours after
being notified by the commission; b) the descendent identified fails to make a
recommendation; or c) the landowner or his authorized representative rejects the
TM 15 -01
Exhibit A
9
recommendation of the descendent, and the mediation by the Native American
Heritage Commission fails to provide measures acceptable to the landowner.
34. Residential fire sprinklers shall be installed in all residences within the specific
plan area over 3,000 square feet, including single - family and multi - family town
homes or apartments, and residential clusters with more than 25 units that lack
secondary access. Residential fire sprinklers shall be installed prior to
occupancy. Prior to approval of future development projects within the specific
plan area, the City Fire Marshal may require that all residences have residential
fire sprinkler systems, regardless of conditions stated above, especially if streets
are narrow, buildings are closely spaced, emergency response time is not met,
there is inadequate fire flow, building are adjacent to natural areas, or other
conditions exist that could hinder the ability of the City of Gilroy Fire Department
to perform fire suppression acts in such case they would be needed. The
sprinklers shall be designed and installed in accordance with City of Gilroy Fire
Department policies (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 50).

Mitigation Monitoring Program
Glen Loma Ranch Specific -Plan Mitigation
Monitoring Program
Introduction
CEQA Guidelines section 15497 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
Final EIR.
EMC Planning Group Inc. 1
Mitigation Monitoring Progren. Glen La. anch Specific Plan Final 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 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
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.
