WHEREAS, applications filed by Panattoni Development Company, with the consent of the
property owner, John B. Machado, were received on October 21, 2020 and accepted as complete May

and planned unit development permit, conditional use permit for a distribution facility use on Lot 2,
and tentative map to create three separate lots for the 59.7 acre property located APN 841-18-082
(east of Renz Lane, south of the West Branch of Llagas Creek, north of Highway 152 and east of
Camino Arroyo);
WHEREAS, an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH #2021070525) was
prepared for the project in full accordance with the procedural and substantive requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and recommended for adoption as the project
environmental document by separate resolution; and
WHEREAS, on October 21, 2021, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public
hearing at which time the Planning Commission received and considered the MND environmental
document prepared for the project, together with the zone change request and related entitlements, the
staff report, and all evidence received including written and oral public testimony related to the MND
and project entitlements including TM 20-07.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of
Gilroy hereby find as follows:
FINDINGS
1. The proposed tentative map creating three parcels for further development of the 59.7-acre
parcel is consistent with the underlying General Industrial land use designation and the
commercial/industrial planned development C3M2/PUD zoning district.
2. The design and improvement of the subdivision is consistent with the applicable general plan
in that it will include all necessary roadway and frontage improvements required to comply
with the City traffic and pedestrian circulation plans, and can be adequately served by police,
fire, water, sewer and drainage systems.
1
3. The site is physically sited for the proposed development intensity as the project has adequate
roadway access and the development intensity is within the floor area ratios anticipated for
industrial development of the 59.7-acre site.
4. The design of the subdivision and proposed improvements would not cause any substantial
environmental damage or injury to wildlife or habitat given that the project includes
appropriate stormwater drainage including on -site detention, finish grade elevations of the
buildings would be raised to comply with flood elevation minimum requirements, the site
does not have any unique environmental features, and a habitat permit is required in
compliance with the Santa Clara Valley Habitat Plan which will result in payment of required
fees to mitigate for the project impacts on wildlife and habitat protected under the plan.
5. The design of the subdivision or improvements will not cause serious public health problems
given that the site will be designed to comply with City standards for vehicular and pedestrian
access and circulation, and the site does not have any hazardous materials or uses associated
with the project.
6. The subdivision will not conflict with any public easements and appropriate easements will be
recorded for the property with the final map.
7. The site is not subject to unusual flooding or other hazardous conditions that would preclude
development of the property as proposed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the
City of Gilroy hereby recommends to the City Council approval of TM 20-07, subject to the attached
conditions, enactment of concurrent zoning ordinance amendment request Z 20-07 and development
consistent with the planned unit development plan approval AS 20-21, and any subsequent
amendments.
