4812. 5998,31510
JH104706089
WHEREAS, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on March 21, 2016, and
considered the public testimony, the staff report, dated March 21, 2016, the MND, AS 13 -35 and
all other documentation related to AS 13 -35; and
WHEREAS, on March 21, 2016, the City Council adopted the MND, and continued AS

additional documentation related to AS 13 -35; and
WHEREAS, the location and custodian of the documents or other materials that
constitute the record of proceedings upon which AS 13 -35 approval is based is the office of the
City Clerk.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
The City Council has determined that AS 13 -35 complies with all required Planned Unit
Development findings:.
A. AS 13 -35 conforms to the Gilroy General Plan in terms of general location and
standards of development, in that the project is located in an area that is designated for
residential development.
B. AS 13 -35 provides the type of development that will fill a specific need of the
surrounding area, in that few townhouse projects have been developed in the City.
This type of development will offer a desirable and less expensive option for
ownership single - family housing.
C. AS 13 -35 will not require urban services beyond those that are currently
available, in that all such services are currently available at the subject property.
D. With adoption of the conditions of approval, the project provides a harmonious,
integrated plan that justifies the proposed setback and density exceptions. These
conditions will ensure adequate turning radii will be provided throughout the project
and that trash and recycling toter problems are minimized.
E. AS 13 -35 reflects an economical and efficient pattern of land uses due to its infill
location and density of development.
F. AS 13 -35 includes a greater provision for landscaping and open space than would
generally be required. Paseos are provided in front of those units that are not adjacent
RESOLUTION NO. 2016-21
48125998 -31510
JH104706089
to public streets. Those paseos generally provide an open space area equivalent to or
slightly larger than would be required if the units were adjacent to public streets.
Additionally, a 13,000 square foot common recreational area is proposed. This
adequately compensates for the single front yard setback deviation and reduced
density proposed for the project.
G. AS 13 -35 utilizes aesthetic design principles to create attractive buildings and
open space areas that blend with the character of surrounding areas.
H. AS 13 -35 will not create traffic congestion, noise, odor or other adverse effects
on surrounding areas. These issues were addressed in the initial study prepared for the
project and mitigation measures have been included to reduce all impacts to a less than
significant level.
I. AS 13 -35 provides adequate access, parking, landscaping, trash and storage
areas. The project provides on and off -site circulation. Two car garages are provided
for each unit. Guest parking exceeds City minimum standards. Landscaped paseos
are located throughout the project and a common recreational area is provided. Areas
for storage, including trash toters are provided in each unit.
2. The City Council approves AS 13 -35 to be effective if, and only if, Ordinance No. 2016-
09 (Z 13 -08) is adopted and in full force and effect; and
3. AS 13 -35 is hereby approved, subject to the conditions of approval set forth in Exhibit
"A" attached hereto and subject to the Mitigation Measures in the Mitigated Negative
Declaration and the Mitigation Monitoring Program hereby adopted for the project,
attached hereto as Exhibit "B."

a. Tree health and structural stability shall be monitored, since preserved
trees may experience a physical environment different from that of pre -
development. Occasional pruning, fertilization, mulch, pest
management, replanting and irrigation may be required. (MND BIO-4)
33. Significant Trees - Replacement and Planting Measures. Prior to Grading
Permit issuance, the Applicant shall contract with a certified arborist to
determine the value of the significant trees to be removed. The value of the
significant trees to be removed shall be used to enhance tree planting on the
site, to the approval of the Community Development Director or designee.
(MND BIO -5)
34. Prior to excavation, any soil that is excavated and /or hauled away for disposal
shall be characterized by a qualified environmental professional for the
possible presence of agricultural chemicals, according to state and federal
AA1r FrM7d1FQv1
regulations, in order to profile the soil for disposal. (MND HAZA )

consultant whom shall submit a report for an alternative means of sound
insulation satisfactory to the City of Gilroy which achieves a maximum interior
noise level of 45 dBA CNEL. (MND N -2)
39. Intersection 1 (Santa Teresa Boulevard / Fitzgerald Avenue) — The significant
project impact to this intersection shall be mitigated with the addition of a
separate northbound right -turn land on Santa Teresa Blvd. to eastbound
Fitzgerald Ave. Adding a separate northbound right -tum lane would improve
the intersection level of service conditions to better than background
conditions (LOC C and E during the AM and PM peak hours, respectively.)
This improvement has been identified in the City's Traffic Circulation Master
Plan (TCMP) and Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) Program. Thus, a Reimbursement
Agreement would be developed between the City and the developer to
complete the improvement such that the developer would be reimbursed for
the cost of the improvement, less the project's fair -share contribution.
Since this is a County facility and a County encroachment permit will be
required, it is prudent to have the developer provide a fair -share contribution,
in lieu of construction. Details as to fair -share amount, schedule for payment
of fair -share contribution, or construction, shall be established in a
subsequent agreement. It is estimated that the fair share contribution will be
based on 5% of cumulative project trips passing through this intersection. The
estimated cost of the improvement is $2,062,181 in 2015 TIF dollars. The
developer's fair -share cost is estimated at $103,109.
40. Intersection 3 (Santa Teresa Boulevard / Day Road East) — The cumulative
project impact to this intersection shall be mitigated with the addition of a
second northbound through lane on Santa Teresa Blvd. Adding a second
northbound through lane would improve the intersection level of service
conditions to better than cumulative (no project) conditions (LOS D during the
AM peak hour.)
This improvement has been identified in the City's Traffic Circulation Master
Plan (TCMP) and Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) Program. Thus, a Reimbursement
Agreement would be developed between the City and the developer to
complete the improvement such that the developer would be reimbursed for the
cost of the improvement, less the project's fair -share contribution.
This condition was also assigned to another developer (Silveira — Tract 10230).
This condition has been fully met by the Tract 10230 developer and is no longer
in need of subsequent mitigations by the Imwalle Townhomes project.
41. Intersection 4 (Santa Teresa Boulevard / Sunrise Drive) — The significant
project impact to this intersection shall be mitigated with the addition of a
second northbound through lane on Santa Teresa Blvd. Adding a second
northbound through lane would improve the intersection level of service
AA15.SAA7 .A1 SQu1
conditions to better than background conditions (LOSB during the AM peak
hour.)
This improvement has been identified in the City's Traffic Circulation Master
Plan (TCMP) and Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) Program. Thus, a Reimbursement
Agreement would be developed between the City and the developer to
complete the improvement such that the developer would be reimbursed for
the cost of the improvement, less the project's fair -share contribution.
Timing for completion of this improvement is revised as follows: Construction
shall commence prior to issuance of the 100th building permit and
construction shall be complete prior to issuance of the 150th building permit,
and to the satisfaction of the City Traffic Engineer.
42. Intersection 10 (Kelton Drive- Project Access / First Street) — This intersection
is within Caltrans jurisdiction, the Project Applicant shall: 1) Coordinate with
and obtain concurrence from Caltrans for the improvements outlined below;
and 2) Fully design and install the following improvements prior to occupancy
of first unit:
Install "pork chop island" at northbound (Project driveway) approach to restrict
Project driveway access to only right -tums in and right -tums out. Northbound
and southbound approaches would continue to be unsignalized stop -sign
controlled. Full left -turn access would continue to be allowed from First Street
onto Kelton Drive and from Kelton Drive onto First Street. (RBF mitigation
MND TRA -6)
43. Intersection 13 (Wren Avenue / Welburn Avenue) — The significant project
impact to this intersection shall be mitigated by installing a traffic signal, as
planned in the City's TCMP. This improvement includes signalizing the
intersection, restriping all of the intersection approaches, and adding left -tum
pockets on the east and west approaches. Additionally, 260 feet of parking
would need to be removed on the east leg to accommodate the left -turn
pocket. With implementation of these improvements, the overall intersection
level of service would be LOS C during both peak hours.
These improvements have been identified in the City's Traffic Circulation
Master Plan (TCMP) and Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) Program. Thus, a
Reimbursement Agreement would be developed between the City and the
developer to complete the improvement such that the developer would be
reimbursed for the cost of the improvement, less the project's fair -share
contribution.
The intersection of Wren Avenue and Welbum Avenue is also projected to be
impacted by another proposed project, Las Animas Residential development,
located along the east side of Wren Avenue just north of Welburn Avenue. The
ea,r,9M7_A,A%4,n
Las Animas project is currently awaiting city approval. Pending approval of
the proposed project and the Las Animas Residential development,
responsibility for implementation of the above mitigation measures may be
shared between the two proposed projects. City suggests that both developers
coordinate this mitigation for project delivery.
Timing for completion of this improvement is revised as follows: Construction
shall commence prior to issuance of the 100th building permit and construction
shall be complete prior to issuance of the 150th building permit, and to the
satisfaction of the City Traffic Engineer.
44. Intersection 17 (Monterey Street / Fitzgerald Avenue - Masten Avenue) — The
significant project impact to this intersection shall be mitigated by providing
protected left -turns on the east and west approaches of the intersection.
Additionally, by changing the east -west signal phase from split to protected,
Fitzgerald Ave. would need to be widened to provide an exclusive eastbound
left -turn lane. Implementation of the proposed improvements would improve
the intersection level of service conditions to better than background
conditions (LOS C and D during the AM and PM peak hours, respectively.)
This improvement has been identified in the City's Traffic Circulation Master
Plan (TCMP) and Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) Program. Thus, a Reimbursement
Agreement would be developed between the City and the developer to
complete the improvement such that the developer would be reimbursed for
the cost of the improvement, less the project's fair -share contribution.
Since this is a County facility and a County encroachment permit will be
required, it is prudent to have the developer provide a fair -share contribution,
in lieu of construction. Details as to fair -share amount, schedule for payment of
fair -share contribution, or construction, shall be established in a subsequent
agreement. It is estimated that the fair share contribution will be based on 5%
of cumulative project trips passing through this intersection. The estimated
cost of the improvement is $1,776,143 in 2015 TIF dollars. The developer's
fair -share cost is estimated at $88,807.
45. Intersection 22 (US -101 SB Ramps / Masten Avenue) — The significant project
impact to this intersection shall be mitigated by installing a traffic signal. The
intersection level of service would be LOS B during both peak hours with
signalization.
This improvement has been identified in the City's Traffic Circulation Master
Plan (TCMP) and Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) Program. Thus, a Reimbursement
Agreement would be developed between the City and the developer to
complete the improvement such that the developer would be reimbursed for
the cost of the improvement, less the project's fair -share contribution.
AA1 F_FAA7d15Qv1
Since this is a County facility and a County encroachment permit will be
required, it is prudent to have the developer provide a fair -share contribution,
in lieu of construction. Details as to fair -share amount, schedule for payment
of fair -share contribution, or construction, shall be established in a subsequent
agreement. It is estimated that the fair share contribution will be based on
2.5% of cumulative project trips passing through this intersection. The
estimated cost of the improvement is $765,618 in 2015 TIF dollars. The
developer's fair -share cost is estimated at $19,140.
46. Intersection 23 (US 101 Northbound Ramps / Masten Ave.) — The significant
project impact to this intersection shall be mitigated by installing a traffic signal.
The intersection level of service would be LOS C and B during the AM and PM
peak hours, respectively, with signalization.
This improvement has been identified in the City's Traffic Circulation Master
Plan (TCMP) and Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) Program. Thus, a Reimbursement
Agreement would be developed between the City and the developer to
complete the improvement such that the developer would be reimbursed for the
cost of the improvement, less the project's fair -share contribution.
Since this is a County facility and a County encroachment permit will be
required, it is prudent to have the developer provide a fair -share contribution, in
lieu of construction. Details as to fair -share amount, schedule for payment of
fair -share contribution, or construction, shall be established in a subsequent
agreement. It is estimated that the fair share contribution will be based on 2.5%
of cumulative project trips passing through this intersection. The estimated cost
of the improvement is $788,118 in 2015 TIF dollars. The developer's fair -share
cost is estimated at $19,703.

This improvement has been identified in the City's

the developer to complete the improvement such that
the developer would be reimbursed for the cost of the
improvement, less the project's fair -share contribution.
Since this is a County facility and a County
encroachment permit will be required, it is prudent to
have the developer provide a fair -share contribution, in
lieu of construction. Details as to fair -share amount,
