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. Monitoring Program The basis for this monitoring program is the mitigation measures included in the Hecker Pass Specific Plan EIR. 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 applicant is required to complete. These mitigation measures have been modified to be consistent with the Santa Clara Valley Habitat Plan, which was adopted after adoption of the mitigation monitoring program for the Hecker Pass Specific Plan. The attached checklist is for monitoring the implementation of the mitigation measures. This monitoring checklist contains all appropriate mitigation measures in the EIR, as modified. Monitoring Program Procedures RESOLUTION NO. 2018-32 The City of Gilroy shall use the attached monitoring checklist for the Heartland Triangle subdivision. The monitoring program should be implemented as follows: The Gilroy Community Development Department is 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 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. RESOLUTION NO. 2018-32 Heartland Triangle Mitigation Monitoring Checklist Step 1 Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the following mitigation measures shall be implemented: Mitigation Measure #9 Prior to development of any property within the specific plan area, a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment shall be prepared in accordance with ASTM Standard(s) to identify whether past or existing uses of the project property may have adversely affected soil or groundwater, or would otherwise pose a health hazard during site development or habitation. If the Phase I assessment finds that past uses may have contaminated the site, a Phase 2 Site Assessment shall be prepared. If contamination is present, clean up and disposal of such contamination shall be in compliance with federal, state and local regulations governing the cleanup and disposal of hazardous waste. Results of the Phase 1 and, if needed, the Phase 2 assessment and cleanup shall be presented to and approved by the City of Gilroy Engineering Division prior to issuance of a Building Permit.

Applicants shall coordinate with the City of Gilroy Engineering Division to design and implement the widening project. Removal of deodar cedar trees along the highway must be avoided wherever possible and improvements must be consistent with State scenic highway guidelines. Traffic signal modifications should be made to the intersection of Santa Teresa Boulevard and First Street/Hecker Pass Highway to add vehicle detection for the second eastbound through lane. However, implementation of this measure may not be feasible without either a) removal of deodar cedar trees within the Caltrans right -of -way along the southern side of the highway, which is an historic resource listed on both the national and state registers, or b) significantly cut into the hillside on the northern side of the highway, which would require construction of a retaining wall. The City of Gilroy is currently processing a request from the specific plan property owners to amend the Hecker Pass Specific Plan, which includes among other changes, elimination of this mitigation measure. If the proposed project is approved, building permits for the residential units could not be issued until the mitigation measure is implemented, or the specific plan amendment request that includes elimination and /or modification of the measure, is approved. Party responsible for implementation: Applicant Party responsible for monitoring: Gilroy Planning Division Monitoring Notes: Mitigation Measure #19 Prior to issuance of the 75th building permit within the Specific Plan area, applicants for projects within the specific plan area shall be responsible for shoulder improvements to Hecker Pass Highway, per Caltrans' standards, between Santa Teresa Boulevard and the easterly limits of the planned Caltrans Was Creek Bridge Improvement project.
