WHEREAS, CalAtlantic Homes (formerly known as Standard Pacific Homes), submitted an
application requesting a Zone Change (Z 15-07) to amend the zoning designation on the
project site from PF (Park/Public Facility) to R-1 (Single Family Residential); and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Gilroy has considered the zone
change request (Z 15-07) in accordance with the Gilroy Zoning Ordinance, and other
applicable standards and regulations; and
WHEREAS, the Commission approved a General Plan Amendment request (GPA 15-01)
to change the property from Residential Medium Density to Residential Low Density and
therefore, this request is consistent with applicable general plan designation (Residential
Low Density); and
WHEREAS, a mitigated negative declaration (MND) was prepared for the site as part of
the review of application GPA 05-05 in 2006, and, due to the modifications proposed as
part of the current applications, an addendum to the adopted MND has been prepared; and
WHEREAS, the addendum MND determined that no new impacts will occur due to the
proposed project redesign, and therefore, the adopted MND is sufficient to address the
environmental effects of the proposed project, and no further environmental analysis is
required to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act; and
WHEREAS, a mitigation monitoring and reporting plan has been prepared, consistent with
the addendum MND; and
WHEREAS, the Commission has recommended that the City Council adopt the MND
addendum and associated mitigation monitoring and reporting plan; and

project on February 18, 2016, at which public hearing the Commission considered the
