WHEREAS, an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH #2021070525) was

the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and recommended for adoption as the project
environmental document by separate resolution; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of
Gilroy hereby recommends to the City Council approval of the Planned Unit Development Zone
Amendment Z 20-07, to create two M2PUD industrial and one commercial C3PUD parcel for
the development proposed under permit AS 20-21, incorporated herein by reference, based on
the following findings pursuant to Gilroy Code Article XXVI (Planned Development Overlay),
Article LII (Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance) and Section 30.50.50 (Planned Unit
Development Approval):
1. The proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment is consistent with the intent of the goals
and policies of the City of Gilroy's General Plan in that it would promote a cohesive
redevelopment of property with a planned commercial and industrial development that
includes uses promoting the general industrial land use designation and relevant City

policies;
2. The proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment will not create any adverse environmental
impacts in that the project site does not have any unique physical or environmental
constraints that would preclude development as proposed and as anticipated by the City
General Plan and zoning documents;
3. The proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment will not be detrimental to the public peace,
health, safety, morals, or welfare given that the property would be required to develop in
accordance with an approved PUD development plan adopted pursuant to City Code
Section 30.50.50, which has been requested and processed concurrently with this PUD
zoning amendment, that would assure all applicable codes and regulations are adhered to
at time of development; and
4. The proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment will not be detrimental to persons or
property in the City given that the amendment would continue to allow development of
the site which is compatible with the surrounding shopping center commercial and
commercial industrial uses existing and anticipated in the area.
