50. In the event of an accidental discovery or recognition of any human remains in any
location other than a dedicated cemetery, the City shall ensure that the language
is included in all permits in accordance with CEQA Guidelines section 15064.5(e),
subject to the review and approval of the City of Gilroy Planning Division: "If
human remains are found during construction there shall be no further excavation
or disturbance of the site or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie
adjacent human remains until the coroner of Santa Clara County is contacted to
determine that no investigation of the cause of death is required. If the coroner
determines the remains to be Native American the coroner shall contact the Native
American Heritage Commission within 24 hours. The Native American Heritage
Commission shall identify the person or persons it believes to be the most likely
descendent MLD) from the deceased Native American. The MLD may then make
recommendations to the landowner or the person responsible for the excavation
work, for means of treating or disposing of, with appropriate dignity, the human
remains and associated grave goods as provided in Public Resources Code
Section 5097.98. The landowner or his authorized representative shall rebury the

commission; b) the descendent identified fails to make a recommendation; or c)
Resolution No. 2016-07
Page 12
the landowner or his authorized representative rejects the recommendation of the
descendent, and the mediation by the Native American Heritage Commission fails
to provide measures acceptable to the landowner." (PL, MND C-2)
51. The following mitigation measure shall be included in the design of the project:
Provide a suitable form of forced -air mechanical ventilation, as determined by the
City Building Department, for units located on Lots 1, 2, 16-19, 30-33, 46-49, 69,
and 70 so that windows can be kept closed at the occupant's discretion to control
interior noise. (BL, MND N-1)
52. As part of normal City review and approval procedures for future projects the
following measures shall be incorporated to mitigate construction noise, as
determined feasible by the City Planning and Engineering divisions:
a. Limit construction activity to weekdays between 7:00 am and 7:00 pm and
Saturdays and between 9:00 am and 7:00 pm, with no construction on
Sundays and City -observed holidays;
b. Locate stationary noise -generating equipment as far as possible from
sensitive receptors when sensitive receptors adjoin or are near a
construction project area; and
c. Construct sound walls orother noise reduction measures priorto developing
the project site.
The following standard construction noise controls shall be implemented at the project
site:
d. Equip all internal combustion engine driven equipment with intake and
exhaust mufflers that are in good condition and appropriate for the
equipment;
e. Prohibit all unnecessary idling of internal combustion engines;
f. Utilize "quiet" models of air compressors and other stationary noise sources
where technology exists; and
g. Designate a "disturbance coordinator" who would be responsible for
responding to any complaints about construction noise. The disturbance
coordinator will determine the cause of the noise complaint (e.g., bad
muffler, etc.) and will require that reasonable measures be implemented to
correct the problem. (PL/E, MND N-2)
53. Install a traffic signal at the Wren Avenue/Welburn Avenue intersection, as
planned in the City's Traffic Circulation Master Plan (TCMP). This improvement
includes signalizing the intersection, restriping all of the intersection approaches,
and adding left -turn 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 improved from LOS F with all -way stop control to LOS C
with signalization. These improvements (including the loss of parking) are shown
in the City's TCMP, and are included in the City's Traffic Impact Fee Program.
Resolution No. 2016-07
Page 13
Thus, a Reimbursement Agreement would be developed between the City and the
developer to complete the improvements such that the developer would be
reimbursed for the cost of the traffic signal, less the project's fair -share
contribution. (E, MND T-1)
54. Project developers shall design and implement the following improvements at the
Wayland Lane and Welburn Avenue intersection, to the satisfaction of the City
Engineer:
a. Within the current right-of-way and without removing any parking, the work
will include re-establishing the centerline stripe with a Caltrans MUTCD Detail
4 pattern;
b. Provide an eastbound and westbound travel lane of no more than 12-foot
width using MUTCD Detail 27B white shoulder stripes on both sides of
Welburn between Wren Avenue and Carmel Streets;
c. Apply "sharrow" bike route markings about 50 feet beyond each street
intersection (at center of travel lane), and at no less than 150 foot spacing in
each travel direction;
d. Complete re -application of the "All -Way Stop" markings and pavement
legends at the Welburn/Wayland intersection. The existing stop signs will be
upsized to 36-inch stop signs, add "4-way stop" advisory sign below stop
sign, and include red reflective pole sleeves at each approach, employing the
latest Caltrans MUTCD-listed reflective materials;
e. Re -application of the marked crosswalks at Welburn/Wayland intersection;
f. Re -application of the La Alondra Way, the Doris Court, and the Carmel
