amount, the use of PIAs, and requested a three -year TIF schedule.
James Suner thanked staff for their work, noted that there is unpaid invoicing
going back as far as 2014, and echoed support of the request for a three-year

X. INTRODUCTION OF NEW BUSINESS
A. Provide Direction Regarding the Disposition of Delinquent Unreinforced
Masonry Building Code Enforcement Fines and Penalties
Code Enforcement Officer Barron presented the report.
Gary Walton offered several items for the Council's consideration: the fines were
implemented and began to accrue during the recession and people were unable
to obtain a loan, and owners were unable to obtain rental income from URM
properties due to City restrictions on how long the building could be unoccupied.
He also indicated that he disagreed with three of the properties listed as URM,
and that some owners should be refunded the fines paid.
John Taft asked for clarification on performance agreements and whether they
were just for URM buildings or if it would be applied to buildings in downtown.
Jose Montes voiced frustration with the message sent by assessing penalties
after owners have expended large amounts of money to comply with URM
retrofitting standards and encouraged the city council to analyze each building
separately.
Sammy Wu spoke on behalf of William Singh. He noted that due to the URM
designation of the building, William lost his source of income and was forced to
file bankruptcy.
Council Member Blankley left at 9:35 p.m.
Possible Action:
Receive report and provide direction to staff.

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gilroy imposing special
assessment liens for the costs of delinquent garbage collection services for certain
properties located in Gilroy, California.
BACKGROUND
In 1997, the City and South Valley Disposal and Recycling, Inc. (SVDR and now
Recology South Valley (Recology)) entered into an exclusive franchise agreement.
Under the agreement Recology provides mandatory garbage and refuse service,
intended to protect the health, safety and welfare of the residents of Gilroy through the
8.A
Packet Pg. 52
assurance of regular collection and sanitary disposal of garbage. Ultimately, the
property owner is held accountable for non-payment by a tenant.
ANALYSIS
As part of the collection process, Recology notified property owners of delinquent
accounts on a monthly basis. In addition, Recology issued notices outlining the
delinquency process which notified the property owners of the administrative hearing
process. The administrative hearing allows the property owner to appeal their account
to the City Finance Director. Recology and the City conducted an administrative hearing
session during the current year (April 25, 2019) in an attempt to give the property
owners more opportunity for timely appeal of their accounts. None of the delinquent
account holders requested a hearing.
The final notice was sent to the remaining delinquent accounts via certified mail on May
9, 2019. This notice explained the process, and outlined the procedures that Recology
was following to collect on the accounts. The deadline for payment was June 14, 2019
at 12 pm.
The Final Report (as of June 28, 2019) is attached which includes accounts amounting
to $28,381.16. A revised report and updated amounts will be provided just prior to the
Council meeting on August 5, 2019. This amount includes the total collection fee
charged by the Santa Clara County Tax Collector’s Office of $286.78.
This public hearing is to consider the Finance Director’s final report. The Council may
adopt, revise, reduce, or modify any charge shown in the Final Report. Pursuant to the
provisions of Municipal Code §12.23-9, the Council’s review of the Final Report shall be
limited to the evidence presented at the Finance Director’s administrative hearing.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
Approval of the Final Report does not impact the City’s budget. The City will collect the
delinquent amounts through the County tax roll on behalf of Recology.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the Final Report be approved, confirmed and adopted, along
with an approval of the Resolution regarding the imposition of the related liens.
NEXT STEPS
Once approved, the Final Report and Resolution shall be delivered to the County
Auditor of the County of Santa Clara so that special assessments may be levied upon
these accounts.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
This action was publicly noticed and all delinquent account holders were notified in
billings and through specific mailings outlying the process for collection.

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Gilroy confirming the report of the
Chief of the Fire Department setting forth the description of property, naming the owners
thereof and the costs of abating the nuisance caused by the growing of weeds and
accumulation of refuse on the property, and providing that such costs shall constitute
assessments against the land.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This hearing is the third part of the annual weed abatement process pursuant to
Chapter 12 of the Gilroy City Code. City Council must take action on the costs
associated with the removal of weeds on certain properties. Such costs constitute a lien
8.B
Packet Pg. 62
on the property until paid, and according to the City Code, will be collected as part of the
next tax roll.
Previously, at the April 1, 2019 meeting the City Council set May 15 th as the deadline to
abate weeds for locations identified on the property abatement list also approv ed at the
April 1st public hearing. Properties that were inspected and found in compliance were
assessed the regular $80 inspection fee. Those locations that were not abated before
the May 15, 2019 deadline were assessed the regular $80 inspection fee plus an
additional $495 failed inspection fee for a total amount of $575. Properties requiring
abatement actions by the County Weed Abatement Program are assessed an
administrative fee of $806, in addition to the $495 failed inspection fee, plus the actual
cost of abatement.
ANALYSIS
Resolution 2019-02 was adopted by Council on January 28, 2019 to declare weeds a
nuisance and to begin the annual weed abatement process. Under a contract with the
County’s Office of Vegetation Management, the County Weed Abatement Program
provides the weed abatement listing, letters of notification, lot inspections,
documentation, and arranges abatement services if needed.
After Resolution 2019-02 was adopted, a list of lots requiring abatement was created by
the County Weed Abatement Program. This includes lots that have been on the
previous list that have had failed inspections for the past three (3) years and additional
lots added to the list based on non-abatement during the prior season. All owners of
the lots listed were sent a weed abatement notice, fee information, and an instruction
letter package.
On April 1, 2019 a public hearing was held to allow any owner of a listed lot to remove
their lot from the program. Subsequently Resolution 2019 -06 was adopted on April 1st
approving the list of properties subject to weed abatement and setting the abatement
deadline to May 15, 2019.
The County conducted its inspections after the May 15th deadline. Property owners
were able to communicate directly with the County if they had problems getting their lot
abated. Any lot found with weeds after the deadline was sent a notice and assessed a
failed inspection fee. The property owner was given an additional two weeks to
perform abatement before becoming subject to abatement by the County.
Pursuant to Gilroy City Code Section 12.54, attached is a report of the lots inspected
and those assessed a failed inspection fee and those that have been abated thus far.
All sites are assessed the $80 inspection fee. The sites with failed inspections are
assessed an additional failed inspection fee of $495, and the lots that required
abatement are assed an additional $806 administrative fee as well as the cost of the
contractor’s abatement cost. There are 126 lots that were assessed only the $80 fee, 43
8.B
Packet Pg. 63
lots were assessed both the inspection and failed inspection fee for a total of $575, and
3 lots were assessed all the fees described above, as well as an administrative fee of
$806 and the actual cost of abatement.
The property owners listed for fee assessment were sent a copy of the proposed
assessment against their property on July 19, 2019. They have been given an
opportunity to call, email or meet with the Fire Marshal and County Weed Abatement
Program Manager on or before August 1, 2019, to discuss, object or obtain additional
information about their assessment. Any property owner that did not raise objection or
did not provide a substantial reason why they should not be assessed still has an
opportunity to raise objections at the lien hearing. Any property owner that met with,
called or emailed their objection and it was determined there was a mistake or that there
was cause for dismissing the assessment fee, will be presented to the City Council for
their consideration. The proposed resolution to process the assessment report,
including modifications, if any, is recommended for approval.
ALTERNATIVES
There are no alternatives. This process is dictated by Chapter 12 of the Gilroy City
Code. Property owners may have many reasons that their lot was not abated; however,
unless the County made a mistake in identifying a lot’s ownership, there are few
acceptable reasons to waive the County’s fees. All owners were notified of deadlines
and costs, as required by the City Code. The City approved the County’s contract for
services and fees at its January 28, 2019 meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
If the County does not collect adequate funds to meet the program budget they can
prorate the shortfall to the cities participating in the p rogram based on the percent of the
properties from each City compared to the total number of properties in the program. It
will not be known until later in the year if there is a shortfall since abatement activity will
be continuing through October.
CONCLUSION
Adopt a resolution allowing the assessment of fees, minus any qualifying objections, as
reported by the Santa Clara Weed Abatement Program.
NEXT STEPS
This is the final step in this year’s planned abatement process. However, if there are
more assessments to be made for this year, a secondary assessment hearing may be
held. Otherwise any new assessments would be included in next year’s process.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The proposed project (TM 18-02) comprises a tentative map request to subdivide
approximately 125 acres within the Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan area. In total, 171
residential lots of varying densities are proposed as well as several community benefits
to support open space preservation and build -out of trails. In June 2019, the Planning
Commission considered this project and unanimously recommended City Council
approval of the proposal.
Approval of the tentative map is a significant milestone in the development process, and
is a point at which much uncertainty regarding the project is removed. A tentative map
facilitates the division of land, and provides clear transfer of ownership of any lots that
are created. The tentative map is the parcel configuration proposed prior to a final or
parcel map, the official recorded document.
BACKGROUND
The Glen Loma Group developed the Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan between 2000
and 2005 through a series of community meetings, a Specific Plan liaison committee,
and several Planning Commission, City Council, and Parks and Recreation Commission
workshops. The Planning Commission and City Council considered the Specific Plan at
public hearings held in 2005, and the City Council adopted it on November 7, 2005 [Ref:
Resolution 2005-81].
The Specific Plan area comprises approximately 309 acres and preserves nearly 100
acres of natural open space and public benefit areas. Land uses include a Town Center
commercial district and 17 distinct residential neighborhoods with up to 1,693 residential
units. At build-out, the Specific Plan envisions various residential densities and housing
types, including single-family homes, apartments, low-income units, and senior units.
To date, 11 residential neighborhoods (totaling 908 units) have received tentative map
approval. Three neighborhoods (Vista Bella, Petite Syrah and Mataro), with a total of
274 units, have completed build out.
As allowed by the Development Agreement, residential allocations associated with the
Specific Plan were extended from 2006 through 2012. Construction of homes within the
Specific Plan area proceeded in earnest after the first final maps were approved in
2015.
Future architectural and site review applications in the Nebbiolo, Malvasia, and The
Glen neighborhoods will be considered separately from this proposed tentative map. In
accordance with the Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan Development Agreement , such
approvals are approved administratively by the Planning Manager, if consistent with the
expectations of the Specific Plan.

Tentative Maps in General
The approval of a tentative map, is a significant milestone in the development process,
and is a point at which much uncertainty regarding the project has been removed. The
value of a 10-acre, raw parcel of land could easily increase tenfold with a well-crafted,
approved tentative map. This value increase is mostly because an approved tentative
map is much less risky to buy than a raw piece of land. That’s assuming the project is
also designed well.
Much of the work a developer does is on obtaining tentative map approval. The
California Department of Real Estate estimates the time to take land from raw and
unentitled to an approved tentative map to be a minimum of two years and a maximum
of over ten years.
There are costs, in addition to the time, research, and manpower, to filling a tentative
map application. Developers must hire professional consultants, such as a Licensed
Land Surveyor or registered Civil Engineer. But these are just a couple of the many
consultants a developer needs to hire to create a salable project.
The time and money invested are not what makes a tentative map so important; it is the
removal of risk. The tentative map is the last ‘discretionary’ approval required.
Discretionary means that the city is granted police power, under the Map Act, to deny
the map if they believe it will, “place the residents of the subdivision or the immediate
community, or both, in a condition dangerous to their health and safety.”
This means that, even with the proper zoning, general plan designation, and a tentative
map professionally prepared with all fees paid, a development may be denied at the
discretion of the local entity.
Planning Commission Recommendation
At their June 20, 2019 meeting, the Planning Commission recommended approval of
TM 18-02 by a vote of 5-0-2 (Commissioners Kim and Rodriquez were absent). The
Planning Commission did not express any concerns over this project, as it implements
the approved Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan. The Planni ng Commission staff report is
included as an attachment to this report for reference.
Tentative Map 18-02 Project Description
The subject site is within the Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan and located north of Santa
Teresa Boulevard, between Merlot Drive and Miller Avenue.
Nebbiolo Neighborhood
The Nebbiolo neighborhood consists of 102 Village single -family lots on 15.15 acres,
resulting in a density of 6.7 dwelling units/acre (du/ac). As required by the Specific
Plan, lots in this neighborhood range in size from 5,000 to 12,600 square feet and will
be served by private streets with 102 on-street parking spaces.
8.C
Packet Pg. 75
The neighborhood will benefit from a 0.43 acre private open space area as a focal point.
Malvasia Neighborhood
The Malvasia neighborhood consists of 46 Compact single-family lots on 5.65 acres,
resulting in a density of 8.1 du/ac. Lots in this neighborhood range in size from 4,000 to
9,070 square feet and will be served by private streets with 46 street parking spaces. A
4.4 acre remainder lot is proposed for future development (lot C3). This lot is
anticipated to accommodate an attached housing product which has not yet been
determined at this time. Two private open space areas totaling 3.2 acres will serve as
the neighborhood focal point.
The Glen Neighborhood
The Glen neighborhood is located at the top of a wooded bluff and is almost entirely
surrounded by preserved natural open space areas. Access to this site will be provided
by a private divided cul-de-sac and this neighborhood will be gated.
The Glen neighborhood consists of 23 Compact single-family lots on 2.95 acres,
resulting in a density of 7.8 du/ac. The lots range in size from 4,860 to 7,000 square
feet. A total of 23 on-street parking spaces are proposed. Homes in this neighborhood
will back on to the preserved natural open space areas surrounding this site. A
detention basin lies at the top of this neighborhood (lot B 21). In addition, a 0.2 -acre
private open space area will be developed in the future as a neighborhood focal point.
Additionally, the subdivision would also create two public open space parcels for the
construction of the Santa Teresa trail; 22 private open space parcels that will be
maintained by the homeowners’ association; three parcels for future development within
the Specific Plan area; and associated public and private streets.
ANALYSIS
Circulation
Private streets within the proposed Nebbiolo, Malvasia, and The Glen subdivisions
comply with City of Gilroy private street standards in terms of lane width, sidewalk width,
and parking stall width; all private streets will be maintained by the homeowners’
association. The names of the new private streets have been approved in accordance
with the Development Agreement (see attached Street Names).
Access to the Nebbiolo, Malvasia, and The Glen subdivision will be provided by West
Luchessa Avenue and Merlot Drive.
Open Space Development, Interface and Maintenance
8.C
Packet Pg. 76
Trail Development: In addition to the neighborhood focal point areas discussed above,
the new communities will contribute to build-out of nearby trails. The Malvasia
neighborhood will develop the portion of the Class I (paved) Santa Teresa trail that
abuts this property. This Nebbiolo neighborhood will develop the Autumn Camp trail,
which will connect West Luchessa Avenue to Miller Avenue.
Trail/Open Space Interfaces: City general plan policies discourage homes backing onto
open space areas for public safety purposes. In addition, some recreational use of
open space areas adjacent to residential rear yards can be a nuisance to residents.
However, in consideration of the fact that approximately 25 percent of the Glen Loma
Ranch Specific Plan area will be maintained as permanent preserved open space with
corresponding limitations on the project’s ability to construct housing surrounding the
open space, the city agreed to permit the Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan to design
homes backing onto open space areas. These homes are required to construct open
fencing to allow property owners to monitor the open space areas.
No homes within this subdivision directly abut the Santa Teresa trail or Autumn Camp
trail.
Buffers/Fuel Transition Zones: The Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan (policy POSS-5)
requires buffers around preserved open space areas. These buffers, which act as fuel
transition zones (FTZ), are areas of mowed, native vegetation and are specified in the
Specific Plan. The buffers/FTZs shown on the proposed tentative map comply with
Specific Plan requirements.
Open Space Maintenance: All open space within the three proposed neighborhoods,
the Santa Teresa trail, and the Autumn Camp trail will be maintained by the
homeowners’ association.
Stormwater Treatment Basins: The tentative map shows three detention basins: one on
parcel B3, one on parcel B9, and one on parcel B21. The basins are designed to
provide stormwater detention and stormwater treatment for the proposed development
as well as the future Rocky Knoll, Canyon Creek, and Malvasia multi-family
neighborhoods. The treatment basins will be constructed as part of project
improvements.
Off-Site Improvements: The following off-site improvements would be developed as part
of this tentative map approval: West Luchessa Avenue from Santa Teresa Boulevard to
parcel B 18; Merlot Drive from its intersection with West Luchessa Avenue to its
intersection with Riini Place (Private Street A); Santa Teresa Trail and associated
landscaping (along the Malvasia neighborhood frontage); and Autumn Camp trail and
associated landscaping.
Gilroy Unified School District (GUSD)
Project plans were routed to the GUSD for review and comments. Glen Loma Ranch is
8.C
Packet Pg. 77
served by Las Animas Elementary School, Ascension Solorsano Middle School, and
Gilroy High School. GUSD staff expects approximately 59 students from this project,
and has determined that the existing schools have adequate capacity. If warranted in
the future, GUSD might construct an additional elementary school within the Specific
Plan area.
Students will access Las Animas Elementary School via West Luchessa Avenue, upon
completion of the future street connections. Pedestrians and bicyclists may use the
Autumn Camp trail from the subdivision to Miller Avenue, and then to West Luchessa.
Students will travel to Ascension Solorsano Middle School via West Luchessa
Avenue/Merlot Drive to Syrah Drive. Students will travel to Gilroy High School via West
Luchessa to West Tenth Street, upon completion of the future street connections. In the
interim, students will have access to all schools via vehicular or pedestrian routes.
Findings
As discussed above, the following findings were analyzed and considered by the
Planning Commission:
i) The proposed Tentative Map is generally consistent with the intent of the
goals and policies of the Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan.
ii) The proposed Tentative Map is consistent with the intent of the goals and
policies of the City's General Plan.
iii) The proposed development is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance and
the City's Subdivision and Land Development Code, and the St ate
Subdivision Map Act.
iv) Public utilities and infrastructure improvements needed in order to serve
the proposed project are in close proximity.
v) There will be no significant environmental impacts as a result of this
project due to the required mitigation measures to be applied.
In accordance with California Government Code section 66474, at least one of the
following findings must be made to support denial of a tentative map request:
(A) That the proposed map is not consistent with applicable general and
specific plans as specified in Section 65451.
(B) That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is not
consistent with applicable general and specific plans.
(C) That the site is not physically suitable for the type of development.
(D) That the site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of
development.
(E) That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely
to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably
injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
8.C
Packet Pg. 78
(F) That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements are likely to
cause serious public health problems.
(G) That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict
with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use
of, property within the proposed subdivision. In this connection, the
governing body may approve a map if it finds that alternate easements, for
access or for use, will be provided, and that these will be substantially
equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. This subsection shall
apply only to easements of record or to easements established by judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction and no authority is hereby granted to a
legislative body to determine that the public at large has acquired
easements for access through or use of property within the proposed
subdivision.
Staff and the Planning Commission were able to make the findings to recommend
approval of the proposed tentative map. As such, staff and the Planning Commission
support a recommendation of approval with the recommended conditions included in
the recommended resolution (see attachment).
ALTERNATIVES
1. As the proposed tentative map conforms to City goals and policies, including
the Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan, the City Council could adopt a resolution
approving tentative map application TM 18-02. STAFF RECOMMENDS THIS
OPTION.
2. The City Council could deny this tentative map request if the Council makes
at least one of the findings contained in Governm ent Code section 66474,
listed in the “Findings” section of this staff report. A denial would leave this
property without subdivision approval. STAFF DOES NOT RECOMMEND
THIS OPTION.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
The applicant paid all costs associated with processing this tentative map request. The
future costs of processing final maps, improvement plans, and architectural and site
review applications will be paid by the applicant.
NEXT STEPS
If approved, the developer will submit final map and improvement plans to the city for
processing to complete this subdivision request.
8.C
Packet Pg. 79
In accordance with Section 21.41(I) of the Gilroy City Code, initial approval of a tentative
map is valid for twenty-four (24) months. Such approval may only be extended at the
Council’s discretion.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
Property owner information (i.e. list, labels, and map) within 500 feet of the subject site
were generated by Chicago Title Company using current ownership data. On July 26,

• Water all active construction areas at least twice daily;
• Cover all trucks hauling soil, sand, and other loose materials or require all trucks
to maintain at least two feet of freeboard;
• Pave, apply water three times daily, or apply (non-toxic) soil stabilizers on all
unpaved access roads, parking areas and staging areas at construction sites;
• Sweep daily (with water sweepers) all paved access roads, parking areas and
staging areas at construction sites; and
• Sweep streets daily (with water sweepers) if visible soil material is carried onto
adjacent public streets.
The following measures shall be implemented at all construction sites greater than four
acres in area:
• Hydroseed or apply (non-toxic) soil stabilizers to inactive construction areas
(previously graded areas inactive for ten days or more);
• Enclose, cover, water twice daily or apply (non-toxic) soil binders to exposed
stockpiles (dirt, sand, etc.);
• Limit traffic speeds on unpaved roads to 15 mph;
• Install sandbags or other erosion control measures to prevent silt runoff to public
roadways; and
• Replant vegetation in disturbed areas as quickly as possible.
The following measures are strongly encouraged at construction sites that are large in
area, located near sensitive receptors or which for any other reason may warrant
additional emission reductions:
• Install wheel washers for all existing trucks, or wash off the tires or tracks of all
trucks and equipment leaving the site;
• Install wind breaks, or plant trees/vegetative wind breaks at windward side(s) of
construction areas;
• Suspend excavation and grading activity when winds (instantaneous gusts) exceed
25 miles per hour; and
• Limit the area subject to excavation, grading and other construction activity at any
one time.
19. Subject to the review of the City of Gilroy Planning Division, no more than 30 days p rior
to commencement of grading or construction activities for development proposed in or
adjacent to potential nesting habitat (i.e., riparian woodland and oak woodland), a tree
survey shall be conducted by a qualified biologist to determine if active nes t(s) of
protected birds are present in the trees. Areas within 200 feet of the construction zone
that are not within the control of the applicant shall be visually assessed from the project
site. This survey shall be required only if any construction would occur during the
nesting and/or breeding season of protected bird species potentially nesting in the tree
(generally March 1 through August 1). If active nest(s) are found, clearing and
construction within 200 feet of the tree, or as recommended by the qualified biologist,
shall be halted until the nest(s) are vacated and juveniles have fledged and there is no
evidence of a second attempt at nesting, as determined by the qualified biologist. If

20. Subject to the review of the City of Gilroy Planning Division, no more than 30 days prior
to commencement of grading or construction activities for development proposed in or
adjacent to potential roost habitat (i.e., riparian woodland and oak woodland), pre-
construction surveys for bat roosts shall be performed by a qualified biologist. If bat
roost sites are found, the biologist shall implement a program to remove/displace the bats
prior to the removal of known roost sites. In addition, an alternate roost site shall be
constructed in the vicinity of the known roost site. Specifications of the alternate roost
shall be determined by a bat specialist (corresponds to EIR Mitigation Measure 6).
21. Prior to approval of each tentative map or use permit, project plans for future
development on the project site shall be designed to avoid unnecessary filling or other
disturbance of natural drainage courses and associated oak/riparian woodland vegetation
to the greatest extent feasible, subject to review and approval of the City of Gilroy
Planning Division. In the event that disturbance of site drainages and associated
oak/riparian woodland vegetation cannot be avoided (i.e., Reservoir Canyon Creek
Bridge construction, culverts, storm drain outfalls, etc.), authorization from the California
Department of Fish and Game through Section 1600 et. seq. of the Fish and Game Code
and/or the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers through Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
and the Regional Water Quality Control Board through Section 401 of the Clean Water
Act shall be obtained, if required, prior to issuance of building or grading permits for any
activity that might encroach on the site’s drainages. Conditions imposed on these permits
and/or authorizations may include but not be limited to the following (corresponds to EIR
Mitigation Measure 8):
• Construction work shall be initiated and completed during the summer and fall
months when the drainages are dry, or at least have a very low flow. Typically, no
construction work shall be allowed between October 15th and April 15th.
• A Habitat Restoration Plan shall be prepared to identify the exact amount and
location of affected and replacement habitat, to specify on-site revegetation with
locally-obtained native species within the buffer areas to mitigate habitat loss, and
to provide specifications for installation and maintenance of the replacement
habitat. Any loss of riparian or wetland vegetation resulting from construction
activities shall be mitigated on-site at a minimum 3:1 replacement ratio.
22. Any loss of oak and/or riparian woodland habitat resulting from development shall
require the project proponent to retain a qualified biologist to prepare a Habitat
Restoration Plan to identify the exact amount and location of affected and replacement
habitat, specify an appropriate plant palette, and provide specifications for installation
and maintenance of the replacement habitat. Replacement vegetation shall consist of
locally-obtained native plant species. Any loss of riparian woodland vegetation shall be
mitigated on-site at a minimum of 3:1 replacement ratio, unless otherwise determined by
the Department of Fish and Game and the City of Gilroy. Any loss of oak woodland
vegetation shall require preservation of on-site oak woodland at a ratio of 3:1 and
replanting on-site at a ratio of 1:1, unless otherwise determined by the Department of

FROM: Melissa Durkin, Planner II
SUBJECT: Tentative Map application to subdivide approximately 125.32 acres
for build-out of the Nebbiolo, Malvasia, and The Glen
neighborhoods of the Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan. Applicant
Tim Filice representing the Glen Loma Group. (TM 18-02)
1) Request: Tentative Map TM 18-02 (#18060015) application requests subdivision
of approximately 125.32 acres for build-out of the Nebbiolo, Malvasia, and The
Glen neighborhoods of the Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan. The subject site is
located north of Santa Teresa Boulevard, between Merlot Drive and Miller Avenue.
The site comprises APN # 808-18-003, 808-18-024, 808-18-025, and 808-18-026.
The approved Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan anticipates residential land uses at
various densities in these neighborhoods. The requested map proposes to create
102 Village Lots in the Nebbiolo neighborhood; 46 Compact Lots in the Malvasia
neighborhood; and 23 Compact Lots in the The Glen neighborhood, for a total of
171 residential lots. This subdivision would also create two public open space
parcels for the construction of the Santa Teresa trail; 22 private open space parcels
that will be maintained by the homeowners’ association; three lots for future
development; and associated public and private streets on property. This request
is for mapping purposes only, and details of the individual development of these
lots are not a part of this proposal. Future build-out of these lots will be in
accordance with the specific plan. The project site is located within the Glen Loma
Ranch Specific Plan area and is commonly known as Nebbiolo, Malvasia, and The
Glen at Glen Loma Ranch. Application filed by Tim Filice representing the Glen
Loma Group, 7888 Wren Avenue, Suite D143, Gilroy, CA 95020.
2) Recommendation: Staff has analyzed the proposed project and recommends that
the Planning Commission adopt a resolution recommending that the City Council
approve Tentative Map TM 18-02, subject to certain findings and conditions.
3) Subject Property and Surrounding Land Uses: The subject site is presently
undeveloped. The following table identifies the existing land uses and General Plan

4) Environmental Assessment: On November 7, 2005, the City Council certified the
Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) with 52
mitigation measures and adopted the Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan. The
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines section 15182, Residential
Projects Pursuant to a Specific Plan, exempts residential projects pursuant to a
specific plan from further environmental review under CEQA, as long as the project
meets the requirements of that section. Staff has determined that the proposed
subdivision meets the requirements of section 15182, and therefore, no additional
CEQA analysis is required.
5) Background Information: The proposed tentative map would provide tentative
approval of the specific lots within the Nebbiolo, Malvasia, and The Glen
neighborhoods of the Glen Loma Ranch Specific plan area. In addition, this
tentative map would create parcels that would allow for future subdivision of the
Rocky Knoll, Canyon Creek, and Town Center neighborhoods, also within the Glen
Loma Ranch Specific Plan area. An additional parcel (parcel C3) would be
reserved for the creation of the multi-family portion of the Malvasia neighborhood,
which will be developed in the future. This staff report will focus on the Nebbiolo,
Malvasia, and The Glen neighborhoods, as approval of the subject tentative map
would allow the developer to obtain final map appr oval of those neighborhoods.

In accordance with the Glen Loma Ranch Development Agreement, architectural
and site review permits for projects within Glen Loma Ranch, including the
Nebbiolo, Malvasia, and The Glen neighborhoods, would be approved by the
planning manager at staff level, provided the plans are consistent with specific plan
requirements. See attachment 1 for additional background information on the Glen
Loma Ranch Specific Plan.
6) General Plan Consistency: The City's General Plan designates the subject site
as Neighborhood District/Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan, which supports the
proposed project request. As such, the proposal conforms to the goals and policies
of the General Plan. Key goals and policies, which pertain to the proposed proje ct
are discussed below:
POLICY # TITLE AND SUMMARY ANALYSIS
1.01 Pattern of Development.
Ensure orderly, contiguous
development pattern;
prioritize infill development;
phase new development;
encourages compactness
and efficiency; preserve
surrounding open space
and agricultural resources;
and avoid incompatible land
uses.
The Nebbiolo, Malvasia, and The Glen
subdivision follows the development
pattern envisioned by the Glen Loma
Ranch Specific Plan. This subdivision is
located east of the Montonico, Wild
Chestnut, and Home Ranch
neighborhoods, which are all under
development. This subdivision is west of
the Canyon Creek and Rocky Knoll
neighborhoods, which have not yet
received subdivision approval.
Development of Nebbiolo, Malvasia, and
The Glen subdivision will utilize
infrastructure currently in place or under
construction to support the Specific Plan
as a whole. The proposed map is
consistent with this policy.
1.10 Gateways. Create entry
points to the City identified
by well-designed,
landscaped entrances.
The Malvasia neighborhood is located
adjacent to Santa Teresa Boulevard and
will be visible from that roadway. The
developer has designed the Malvasia
neighborhood such that a frontage road
and open space areas abut this roadway.
The closest residential lot is located a
minimum 170 feet from the Santa Teresa
Boulevard future face-of-curb. A 25-foot
landscape buffer and a segment of the
Santa Teresa trail will lie between Santa

POLICY # TITLE AND SUMMARY ANALYSIS
Teresa Boulevard and the frontage road.
These project features combine to create
an attractive project along Santa Teresa
Boulevard, which is one of Gilroy’s primary
entry points. The proposed map is
consistent with this policy.
2.02 Rate and Timing of
Growth. Ensure that the
rate of growth is controlled
such that resource and
system capacity constraints
are not exceeded and
urban services are funded,
implemented and
completed prior to
occupation of new
buildings.
The developer will pay impact fees and
construct needed infrastructure as part of
the Nebbiolo, Malvasia, and The Glen
subdivision tentative map to ensure that
urban services are timely provided. The
proposed map is consistent with this
policy.
14.02 Bicycle and Pedestrian
Policy. Promote compact,
mixed-use development
patterns that encourage
pedestrian and bicycle
travel and transit use.
The Specific Plan overall provides
compact, mixed-use development and a
series of trails to encourage bicycle and
pedestrian use. Transit opportunities will
be provided throughout the Specific plan
area. Tentative Map application TM 18-02
will advance the specific plan’s bicycle and
pedestrian goals by developing the portion
of the Santa Teresa Boulevard trail that
abuts its boundary, as well as the entire
Autumn Camp trail, which will connect
West Luchessa Avenue to Miller Avenue.
These trail improvements will provide
pedestrian and bicycle access among the
lots in the three neighborhoods involved in
this tentative map, as well as throughout
the Specific plan area.
The proposed map is consistent with this
policy.
Neighborhood District Policy Consistency: This property is located within the
Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan Neighborhood District area, which, as a whole, was
8.C.c
Packet Pg. 110 Attachment: Planning Commission Staff Report (2316 : Nebbiolo, Malvasia and The Glen Tentative Map (TM 18-02))
5
planned in compliance with General Plan Neighborhood District policies. The
resolution approving the Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan found that the design of the
Plan was consistent with General Plan Neighborhood District policies (City Council
Resolution 2005-82). The following Specific Plan components support that
determination.
A) Density Requirements: The “Neighborhood District Policy” [The Policy] sets
minimum, but not maximum, density standards, and provides incentives for
projects to achieve a higher “Target” density of approximately 8 units per acre
[The Policy section 8.1]. The Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan addressed The
Policy’s density requirements by setting requirements for minimum and
maximum densities in each neighborhood; establishing a range of product
types that could be developed within each neighborhood; and by requiring a
mix of lot sizes and housing types within larger neighborhoods [Glen Loma
Ranch Specific Plan section 4]. W hile individual neighborhoods within the
Specific Plan area may not meet minimum or target densities, the Specific
Plan as a whole has been designed to meet these densities.
B) Affordable Housing Requirements: The Policy requires that each
Neighborhood District development construct a minimum of fifteen percent
(15%) of its units at affordable prices. The adopted Development Agreement
and Specific Plan set forth the specific considerations related to affordable
housing and senior housing within the Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan area.
In accordance with the Development Agreement, 15.1 percent of the units
constructed will be sold or rented at affordable levels, resulting in a maximum
of 256 affordable units within this Specific Plan area. This number is
comprised of seventy-five (75) unrestricted “Senior” units, that are intended to
be affordable by design (i.e. smaller units constructed at a higher density);
seventy-five (75) “affordable Senior” units that will be affordable in accordance
with adopted City policies; and 106 multi-family units that will be affordable in
accordance with adopted City policies. These units may be either sold or
rented. That number of affordable units is required if the developer achieves
the maximum Specific Plan build out of 1,693 units; if fewer units are
constructed, the number of affordable units required will be reduced
accordingly, while maintaining the 15.1 percent affordability ratio.
The Development Agreement anticipates that “approximately 86 affordable
units will be constructed in Phase 1, 85 affordable units will be constructed in
Phase 2, and 85 affordable units will be constructed in Phase 3” [DA 34].
Since the Development Agreement states that Phase 1 consists of 633 units,
the developer will be required to construct 86 affordable units prior to building
permit issuance of the 634th unit in the Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan area.
So far, the developer has received final map approval that would allow the
development of 566 units (Vista Bella, Petite Sirah, Mataro, Wild Chestnut,
Home Ranch, Montonico, Luchessa and The Grove). Approximately 275
units have been finaled so far within the Specific Plan area, with another
approximately 135 units under construction. Therefore, the developer is still
within Phase 1 of development.
8.C.c
Packet Pg. 111 Attachment: Planning Commission Staff Report (2316 : Nebbiolo, Malvasia and The Glen Tentative Map (TM 18-02))

Staff has approved the Town Center Below Market Rate (BMR) site, which
will construct 158 income-restricted affordable units. These units will satisfy
the 106 multi-family affordable unit requirement and 52 of the affordable
senior units. The Town Center Multi-family (townhouse) site proposes 46
senior affordable by design units (the end units in each row of townho uses).
With a total of 204 affordable units proposed in the Town Center, the
developer will exceed Glen Loma Ranch’s Phase 1 and Phase 2 affordable
housing requirements. Future neighborhoods within the specific plan area will
develop the remaining required affordable units.
C) Neighborhood Open Space: The Policy requires open space to meet the
needs of residents in the neighborhood district area. Specifically, this policy
requires “minimum standards for recreational areas and [. . .] a focal point
recreational area in each neighborhood.” This issue is discussed in section 9.
D. of this staff report. Staff believes the Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan will
provide exceptional recreational and open space amenities for residents as
well as the community at large.
D) Housing Diversity: The Policy states, “Neighborhood District master and
specific plans shall mix housing of different densities together, integrating
them throughout the Neighborhood District.” The Glen Loma Ranch Specific
Plan met this requirement by including the following housing types: compact
lots, traditional lots, single-family attached lots, and multi-family attached.
These housing types will be dispersed throughout the Specific plan area.
By complying with the requirements of the Glen Lom a Ranch Specific Plan, the
Nebbiolo, Malvasia, and The Glen neighborhoods comply with The Policy.
Santa Clara Valley Habitat Plan Consistency: Development of the Glen Loma
Ranch Specific Plan area is regulated by the Habitat Plan. As such, the developer
will be required to conduct focused, pre-construction surveys for the federally and
state-listed Endangered Species and state Species of Special Concern and obtain a
Habitat Plan permit.
7) Conformance with Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan Development Standards
and Guidelines: The proposed development is located in the Glen Loma Ranch
Specific Plan area. In accordance with the Gilroy City Code, the proposed
subdivision may be approved with a tentative map. Staff will review and approve
the future architectural and site review applications separate from this proposed
subdivision, in accordance with the Development Agreement. The following
applicable development standards have been considered for the proposed project.

8) Staff Analysis for Tentative Map (TM 18-02): The subject property would create
three neighborhoods within the Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan area: the Nebbiolo
neighborhood (102 lots); the Malvasia neighborhood (46 lots), and The Glen
neighborhood (23 lots). The proposed tentative map would also create parcels for
the Rocky Knoll, Canyon Creek, and Town Center neighborhoods. Those
neighborhoods would receive subdivision approval with specific lot layouts through
separate tentative map processes.
While the subject tentative map creates parcels allowing for future subdivision of
the Rocky Knoll, Canyon Creek, and Town Center neighborhoods, it provides for
ultimate mapping of the Nebbiolo, Malvasia, and The Glen neighborhoods, allowing
these neighborhoods to proceed to the final map process. This tentative map staff
report focuses on these three neighborhoods, as all of the other neighborhoods
require separate tentative map approval (see attachment 2 for a project vicinity
map and attachment 3 for tentative map plans).
In accordance with Section 21.41(i) of the Gilroy City Code, initial approval of a
tentative map is valid for twenty-four (24) months. Such approval may only be
extended at the Council’s discretion.
a) Site Layout and Lot Sizes: TM 18-02 proposes to subdivide the following
neighborhoods within the Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan area: Nebbiolo,
Malvasia and The Glen. These neighborhoods are located in the central
portion of the specific plan area, north and south of West Luchessa Avenue.
This subdivision is bordered to the north by Christmas Hill Park Ranch Site; to
the south by Santa Teresa Boulevard and the Eagle Ridge development; to
the east by the Town Center neighborhood; and to the west by the Home
Ranch, Wild Chestnut, and Montonico neighborhoods (see attachment 3 for
reduced plans).
The following chart summarizes the proposed parcels and land uses:

Residential Lots 23.68 1-171
Public Streets 1.24 n/a
Private Streets 12.35 n/a
Total 125.32
Nebbiolo Neighborhood: The Nebbiolo neighborhood is located on the center of
the Specific Plan area, at the top of a wooded bluff. Nebbiolo is bordered on the
north, east, and west by private open space; the Montonico and Malvasia
neighborhoods border Nebbiolo to the south. The Nebbiolo neighborhood
consists of 102 Village single-family lots, at a density of 6.7+/- DU/net acre.
[Village Lots are described in the Specific Plan in Section 7, page 23 and 28.]
Lots in this neighborhood range in size from 5,000+/- to 12,600+/- square feet
and will be served by private streets with 102 on -street parking spaces. [Note:
all on-street parking discussed in this tentative map analysis is in addition to
parking in garages and driveways.] See attachment 4 for project stre et names.
Homes in this neighborhood will back onto West Luchessa Avenue and Merlot
Drive, necessitating a 6-foot high soundwall on these two streets. [Note: an
acoustical analysis prepared for this Specific Plan has determined that
soundwalls with a height of six feet are adequate to meet General Plan noise
standards. Therefore, all soundwalls discussed in this tentative map analysis
will be six feet high.] All of the lots within this neighborhood will front on private
streets; one lot will be accessed by a private driveway off a private street (lot
45).
Thirty-eight of the lots in this neighborhood will back onto private preserved
open space areas. These includes lots 31 through 59 (twenty-nine lots); lots 60-
61 and 63 (3 lots); and lots 80 through 85 (6 lots). See related discussion
concerning homes backing onto open space in the “Open Space” section of this
report (Section D). Lots backing onto preserved open space areas will provide
open view fencing to the open space area, in accordance with t he adopted
Specific Plan.
The neighborhood includes a 0.43+/- -acre private open space area to be
developed as a neighborhood focal point (parcel B5). As with all neighborhoods
included in this tentative map, the neighborhood focal point design will be
considered as part of the architectural and site review application.
Malvasia: The Malvasia neighborhood is located between West Luchessa
Avenue and Santa Teresa Boulevard, south of the Nebbiolo neighborhood. It is
bordered on the east by private open space (a drainage corridor) and the future
Rocky Knoll and Canyon Creek neighborhoods. This neighborhood consists of
8.C.c
Packet Pg. 117 Attachment: Planning Commission Staff Report (2316 : Nebbiolo, Malvasia and The Glen Tentative Map (TM 18-02))
12
46 Compact single-family lots at a density of 8+/- DU/net acre. [Compact Lots
are described in the Specific Plan in Section 7, pages 23-27.] Lots in this
neighborhood range in size from 4,000+/- to 9,070+/- square feet and will be
served by private streets with 46 street parking spaces.
Twelve lots in this neighborhood will back onto West Luchessa Avenue,
necessitating a soundwall on this street. All single-family lots in this
neighborhood front on private streets.
The Malvasia neighborhood proposes a 4.4+/- acre remainder lot for future
development (lot C1). This lot is proposed to accommodate an attached
housing product; the specific housing product has not yet been determined. The
lot will require approvals considered through separate processes. In
accordance with the Specific plan, the architectural and site review for this
parcel will be approved at a staff level.
The Malvasia neighborhood includes two private open space areas totaling
3.2+/- acres that will serve as the neighborhood focal point.
The Glen Neighborhood: Like the Nebbiolo neighborhood, The Glen
neighborhood is located at the top of a wooded bluff and is almost entirely
surrounded by preserved natural open space areas. Access to this site will be
provided by a private divided cul-de-sac that receives access from West
Luchessa Avenue. Two lots within this development will receive access from a
private driveway (lots 150 and 151). Those lots back onto West Luchessa
Avenue and will require a soundwall on the rear and sides of the lots. This
neighborhood will be gated.
The Glen neighborhood would consist of 23 Compact single-family lots at a
density of 7.8+/- DU/net acre, ranging in size from 4,860+/- to 7,000+/- square
feet. All lots within this neighborhood will be served by a single, divided private
street. This neighborhood will have 23 on-street parking spaces. Homes in this
neighborhood will back on to the preserved natural open space areas
surrounding this site. A detention basin lies at the top of this neighborhood (lot
B 21).
The neighborhood includes a 0.2+/- -acre private open space areas to be
developed as a neighborhood focal point.

Totals: 171 23.75 7.2
(average)
c) Circulation: The Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan includes a circulation
system composed of arterial, collector and local roads connecting to Santa
Teresa Boulevard, Miller Avenue, Tenth Street, and Luchessa A venue. The
Specific Plan also includes a well-developed system of bicycle and pedestrian
trails that provide connectivity throughout the Specific Plan area and to
adjacent residential neighborhoods, Christmas Hill Park, and the Uvas Creek
Park Preserve. Opportunities for transit are also included within the plan.
Private streets within the Nebbiolo, Malvasia and The Glen subdivision comply
with City of Gilroy private street standards in terms of lane width, sidewalk
width, and parking stall width; all private streets will be maintained by the
homeowners’ association. The names of the new private streets have been
approved in accordance with the Development Agreement.
Access to the Nebbiolo, Malvasia and The Glen subdivision will be provided by
West Luchessa Avenue and Merlot Drive.
d) Open Space: In addition to the specific plan-wide open space discussed in
Attachment 1, “Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan Background information” and
the focal point areas discussed above, the Malvasia neighborhood will devel op
the portion of the Class I (paved) Santa Teresa trail that abuts this property.
This entire Autumn Camp trail will also be constructed, connecting West
Luchessa Avenue to Miller Avenue.
Trail/Open Space Interfaces: City general plan policies discourage homes
backing onto open space areas because homes block the view of the open
space and prevent it from being monitored. In addition, recreational use of
open space areas can be a nuisance to residents who want to peacefully enjoy
their rear yards. However, in consideration of the fact that approximately 25
percent of the Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan area will be maintained as
permanent preserved open space with corresponding limitations on the
project’s ability to construct housing surrounding the open space, the city
agreed to permit the Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan to design homes backing
onto open space areas. These homes are required to construct open fencing
to allow property owners to monitor the open space areas.
No homes within this subdivision directly abut the Santa Teresa trail or Autumn
Camp trail.
Open Space Buffers/Fuel Transition Zones: Specific plan policy POSS-5
requires open space buffers around preserved open space areas. These
8.C.c
Packet Pg. 119 Attachment: Planning Commission Staff Report (2316 : Nebbiolo, Malvasia and The Glen Tentative Map (TM 18-02))
14
buffers, which act as fuel transition zones (FTZ), are areas of mowed, native
vegetation and are specified in Specific plan figure 26. The buffers/FTZs
shown on the proposed tentative map comply with Specific Plan requirements.
Open Space Maintenance: All open space within the three neighborhoods,
the Santa Teresa trail, and the Autumn Camp trail will be maintained by the
homeowners’ association.
e) Soundwalls: Some lots in the Nebbiolo, Malvasia and The Glen
neighborhoods will back onto Luchessa Avenue and Merlot Drive; these lots
will require soundwalls. Specifically, 6-foot high masonry walls will be
constructed on lots one through 12 in the Nebbiolo neighborhood, on lots 137
through 148 in the Malvasia neighborhood, and on lots 149 and 150 in The
Glen neighborhood. Because the applicant proposes to place a street
adjacent to Santa Teresa Boulevard, no soundwall will be necessary along the
portion of the Malvasia neighborhood abutting Santa Teresa Boulevard. The
future multi-family project that will be developed on lot C1 within the Malvasia
neighborhood will be designed to eliminate the need for soundwalls.
f) Stormwater Treatment Basins: The tentative map shows three detention
basins: one on parcel B3, one on parcel B9, and one on parcel B21. The
basins are designed to provide stormwater detention and stormwater
treatment for the proposed development as well as the future Rocky Knoll,
Canyon Creek, and Malvasia multi-family neighborhoods. The treatment
basins will be constructed as part of project improvements.
g) Off-Site Improvements: The following off-site improvements would be
developed as part of this tentative map approval: West Luchessa Avenue from
Santa Teresa Boulevard to parcel B 18; Merlot Drive from its intersection with
West Luchessa Avenue to its intersection with Riini Place (Private Street A);
Santa Teresa Trail and associated landscaping (along the Malvasia
neighborhood frontage); and Autumn Camp trail and associated landscaping.
h) Property Dedications and Easements: The developer will dedicate trail land
to the city for the Santa Teresa trail improvements; the public right-of-way
along West Luchessa Avenue and Merlot Drive adjacent to the Nebbiolo,
Malvasia, and The Glen neighborhoods; a public trail easement for Autumn
Camp trail; and land required for public services easements.
i) FINDINGS: As discussed and analyzed above, the following findings can be
made in support of the tentative map request:
i) The proposed Tentative Map is generally consistent with the intent of the
goals and policies of the Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan.
ii) The proposed Tentative Map is consistent with the intent of the goals and
policies of the City's General Plan.
iii) The proposed development is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance and
the City's Subdivision and Land Development Code, and the State
8.C.c
Packet Pg. 120 Attachment: Planning Commission Staff Report (2316 : Nebbiolo, Malvasia and The Glen Tentative Map (TM 18-02))
15
Subdivision Map Act.
iv) Public utilities and infrastructure improvements needed in order to serve
the proposed project are in close proximity.
v) There will be no significant environmental impacts as a result of this
project due to the required mitigation measures to be applied.
As such, staff supports a recommendation of approval by the Planning
Commission with the recommended conditions included in Attachment 5 of this
staff report.
9) Gilroy Unified School District (GUSD): Project plans were routed to the GUSD
for review and comments. Gilroy Unified School District staff has provided the
following information about this site:
a) The Glen Loma Ranch development is served by the following schools: Las
Animas Elementary, Ascension Solorsano Middle School, and Gilroy High
School. The District might construct an additional elementary school within
the Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan area in the future, if warranted.
b) District staff expects approximately 59 students to be generated from this
project and has determined that the schools serving the Glen Loma Ranch
development have adequate capacity to serve the students generated by the
new homes.
c) Students will eventually access Las Animas Elementary School, approximately
0.7 miles from the subdivision, via West Luchessa Avenue. In the interim
period before West Luchessa Avenue is completed, students will travel by
vehicle on West Luchessa to Santa Teresa Boulevard, to West 10th Street, and
back to West Luchessa (1.3+/- miles). Pedestrians and bicyclists may also
use the Autumn Camp trail from the subdivision to Miller Avenue, and then to
West Luchessa. Students will travel to Ascension Solorsano Middle School,
approximately 0.5 miles from the subdivision, via West Luchessa
Avenue/Merlot Drive to Syrah Drive. Students will travel to Gilroy High School,
approximately 2.5 miles from the subdivision, initially via West Luchessa to
Santa Teresa Boulevard, to West 10th Street, back to West Luchessa Drive,
and then to Princevalle Drive. Ultimately students will travel approximately
one mile via West Luchessa to West Tenth Street, across the Tenth Street
bridge.
10) Technical Advisory Committee (TAC): Project plans were routed to Engineering,
Building, Police, and Fire representatives for internal review and comment. The
TAC considered the project on June 28, 2018 and on April 4, 2019.
Recommendations of the TAC members have been incorporated into the project
plans and/or are included as recommended conditions in attached resolution(s).
Pursuant to Section 21.41(a), the Tentative Map was distributed for consideration
by various departments and utility agencies. Standard comments received are
incorporated in the recommended conditions of approval (see Attachment 5).
11) Bicycle Pedestrian Committee (BPC): On August 28, 2018, the applicant gave a
8.C.c
Packet Pg. 121 Attachment: Planning Commission Staff Report (2316 : Nebbiolo, Malvasia and The Glen Tentative Map (TM 18-02))
16
presentation on the Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan area to the BPC. The
presentation had a special focus on pedestrian and bicycle aspects of this
proposal, as well as interconnectivity among neighborhoods within the specific plan
area. The BPC asked questions related to proposed bicycle and pedestrian
amenities and the overall circulation plan.
12) Noticing: Property owner information (i.e. list, labels, and map) within 500 feet of
the subject site were generated by First American Title Company u sing current
ownership data. On June 7, 2019, notices of this Planning Commission meeting
were mailed to the property owners along within other interested parties. In
addition, the property has been posted with on -site signage notifying passersby of
pending development, and the Planning Commission public hearing packets are
available through the City's webpage.
13) Appeal Procedure: The Planning Commission's action is not final, but rather a
recommendation. As such, the matter will be considered by the City Council at a
later date.

RECOMMENDATION
Motion to continue the public hearing to the August 19, 2019 regular meeting.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
It is recommended that the Council continue the public hearing for this item to
the August 19th regular meeting. The Council may open the public hearing, take
public comment, and leave the public hearing open until this continued date.
The Community Development Department has drafted minor amendments to the zoning
8.D
Packet Pg. 155
regulations in order to meet provisions of state law and improve understanding of the
Zoning Ordinance. The proposed zoning revisions, Z18-07, would further public health,
safety, welfare, orderly development and economic stability in the City of Gilroy by
bringing the Zoning Ordinance into greater conformity with the General Plan and state
laws. Specifically, these improves would be achieved through minor changes to the
definitions, land uses, parking, vehicle storage, nonconforming uses, minor
modifications and accessory dwelling unit standards.
On June 20, 2019, the Planning Commission considered the proposed revisions at a
duly noticed public hearing (Planning Commission Staff Report attached). Two
considerations from staff’s original recommendation were voted upon separately.
Specifically: 1) the allowance of Recreational Vehicle Park, Travel Trailer Park or
Camping Facility in the Commercial and Industrial zoning land uses (recommended by
the Planning Commission to remain in the Zoning Ordinance), and 2) the requirement
for replacement parking for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) outside of the front
setback (recommended by the Planning Commission to be removed from the Zoning
Ordinance).
The Planning Commission’s concerns are discussed in this report; however, staff’s
original recommendations are presented to City Council as described herein. The
proposed changes are consistent with the City’s General Plan and Zoning Ordinance,
and are exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
BACKGROUND
Minor amendments to the Zoning Ordinance are made periodically in order to respond
to revised state laws, emerging trends or to implement new policy direction. Such
amendments were previously made in 2015, 2016 and 2018. Past changes included
standards for granting minor design modifications, update of downtown use tables
including permitting office uses on the ground floor in specific areas, parking revisions,
permitting of banner signs, update of wireless regulations, amendment of accessory
dwelling unit regulations, permitting of recreational marijuana use consistent with state
law, updating of the landscape ordinance, and adoption of a tree removal permit
process.
The Zoning Ordinance typically receives a comprehensive update after the City adopts
a new General Plan document. Consequently, a comprehensive update of the Zoning
Ordinance will be completed following adoption of General Plan 2040. In the meantime,
amendments are necessary now to clarify and update existing zoning regulations.
On June 20, 2019 the Planning Commission considered the staff recommended
revisions (Z18-07) and passed the following motions supporting the amendments:
Motion to adopt Resolution No. 2019-07 recommending Z18-07 to the City
Council, with the exception of the amendments for recreational vehicle parks and
accessory dwelling unit parking requirements. The motion passed 5-0 (2 absent).
8.D
Packet Pg. 156
Motion to recommend the recreational vehicle park amendments be excluded
from the amendments. The motion passed 5 -0 (2 absent).
Motion to recommend that replacement parking would not be required for
converting a garage into an ADU. The motion passed 4-1 (2 absent).
ANALYSIS
Planning Commission Action on Amendments
Staff’s originally recommended amendments, as considered by the Planning
Commission (PC) on June 20, 2019, are presented in the recommended draft
Ordinance Z18-07 (attached to this report). As noted above, these revisions are
proposed primarily for clarification and clean-up items. An attachment to this report
shows all proposed revisions with strikeout (x) and underline (x) text; reflecting deleted
and added language, respectively. The draft PC Resolution and draft PC meeting
minutes are also attached.
The amendments reflected in Ordinance Z18-07 do not incorporate Planning
Commission’s recommendations to reject the recreational vehicle park amendments
and parking provisions for conversion of a garage to an accessory dwelling unit. These
are discussed as follows, for Council consideration:
PC Recommendation to Reject Recreational Vehicle Park Amendments
Staff recommended eliminating provisions allowing “Recreational Vehicle Park, Travel
Trailer Park or Camping Facility” from the Commercial and Industrial zoning land use
tables (Sections 30.19.10(c)(1) and 30.23.10(c), respectively), and revising related
sections 30.42.20 and 30.42.30 regulating such facilities. The two existing RV camping
facilities in the City would remain regulated under their current Conditional Use Permits
and the remaining RV park standards.
Staff recommends this change in response to the State Housing and Community
Development rules that pre-empt local regulation of limits on length of stay, and allow
for long-term occupancy within any RV park (CA Civil Code, Ca Code of Regulations,
and CA Health and Safety Code). The majority of the RV camping sites within the
existing parks in the City are now used for long-term stays of more than 60 days, and
not for short term camping, as originally anticipated per the approved CUPs.
Furthermore, the industrial zones were never anticipated to be locations for long term
housing, due to the nature of the businesses within those zones, and the lack of
proximity to services. Long-term residential use within the industrial districts conflict with
the City’s General Plan policies.
The Planning Commission recommended leaving this land use type as an opportunity
for new RV camping facilities to be established (in M1, M2, CM and HC zones). The
8.D
Packet Pg. 157
primary reasons stated during discussion included was that such facilities could provide
an affordable, possibly long-term, option for residents to remain within the community.
The Zoning Ordinance allows for modular home parks to be established within
residentially designated areas. Thus, it is the opinion of staff that the zoning code
retains sufficient opportunities for affordable housing of this type that is intended for
long-term use. As such, these units would also be counted as part of the City housing
obligation under the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). The current RV parks
were not intended to serve as long-term residential use, and do not count toward the
City’s housing obligation under the RHNA.
PC Recommendation to Reject ADU Replacement Parking Amendment
Staff recommends amending section 30.54.30(c) to clarify that if a garage is converted
to an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), then the parking required for the primary unit shall
not be allowed within the front yard setback. The state mandates that the City must
allow garage conversions and, if replacement parking is required, the City must allow
this to be replaced uncovered and tandem. State regulations do not place restrictions on
location of required parking spaces. However, local jurisdictions can impose such
restrictions. The City currently does not allow required parking for the main house to be
within the required front yard setback, which is 26 feet measured from the face of curb.
Typically, the driveway leading to the garage is located within this front yard setback
area. Staff’s recommendation is intended to ensure consistent on-site parking
requirements for all single-family uses.
The Planning Commission supported removing any location restriction for replacement
parking to be provided as a result of a garage conversion. In many cases, where the
minimum driveway length is 18 feet, the required parking for the single-family residence
would be located on the existing driveway, and within the front yard setback. This
allowance is vastly different from requirements imposed on single -family residences that
do not have an ADU onsite. The following potentially positive and negative effects of
this recommendation have been noted:
Positive: The Commission recommended change could simplify the process for
an ADU approval, and reduce costs. This approach could also serve to retain the
existing character of the house. For instance, an applicant would not need to
modify the existing site plan and driveway to accommodate new parking outside
of the setback.
Negative: If replacement parking (2 spaces) for the single-family use is not
required, this could increase on-street parking congestion on residential streets.
This would be especially problematic in Planned Unit Developments where on-
street parking is already limited.
This change could affect existing residential neighborhoods, many of which have private
roads and limited existing street parking. Therefore, staff would not recommend the
8.D
Packet Pg. 158
Commission’s recommended alternative without further outreach and public discussion
to include potential stakeholders.
General Plan Consistency
The City's General Plan sets forth various goals and policies for community design,
growth management, economic development, agricultural use, historic preservation,
and scenic highways. The land use plan map designates areas for development of
specific land use types, which are implemented through the Zoning Ordinance. The
minor amendments to the Zoning Ordinance would not result in any change to existing
or proposed land uses, and are being suggested to promote compliance with state law,
improve interpretations, and increase consistency between the General Plan and
Zoning Ordinance.
Zoning Consistency and Findings
As required by Zoning Ordinance Section 30.52 , the Planning Commission held a public
hearing to consider the proposed amendments and made findings recommending to the
City Council that the amendments carry out the general purpose of the Zoning
Ordinance and applicable General Plan goals and policies.
The proposed zoning revisions Z18-07 would further the public health, safety, welfare,
orderly development and economic stability within the City of Gilroy by bringing the
Zoning Ordinance into greater conformity with the General Plan and state laws.
Specifically, this would be achieved through minor changes made to the definitions, land
uses, parking, vehicle storage, nonconforming uses, minor modifications and accessory
dwelling unit standards.
Environmental Determination
Approval of the provisions contained in the Zoning Text Amendment file number Z 18 -
07 are exempt from environmental review under CEQA pursuant to the provisions of
Section 15061(b) (3) of the CEQA Guidelines, which states that a project is exempt from
CEQA when “[t]he activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to
projects which have the potential for causing a significant impact to the environment.
Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in
question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to
CEQA.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Council may proceed with adoption of draft Ordinance Z18-07. STAFF
RECOMMENDS THIS OPTION as it implements only minor changes to the City
zoning code to address changes in state laws and implement local policy.
2. Council may proceed with adoption of draft Ordinance Z18 -07 with the additional
recommendations of the Planning Commission to exclude the recreational
vehicle park and replacement parking provides, as discussed. STAFF DOES
8.D
Packet Pg. 159
NOT RECOMMEND THIS OPTION because it would not implement city housing
policy regarding housing in the industrial zones and would not include additional
public outreach and input on parking changes for ADUs.
3. Council may direct staff to prepare additional revisions or amendments. STAFF
DOES NOT RECOMMEND THIS OPTION because it does not meet the intent of
this effort to make minor cleanup edits only, for the purpose of clarifying existing
regulations and consistency with state law, in anticipation of a comprehensive
Zoning Ordinance Update subsequent to the update of the General Plan .
4. Council may reject the proposed amendments Z18-07. STAFF DOES NOT
RECOMMEND THIS OPTION because it does not meet the intent of this effort to
make minor cleanup edits for better comprehension and to implement state laws.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
The effort to prepare the amendments is covered by the General Fund as part of the
Community Development Department operational budget.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
On April 29, 2019 staff hosted a Developer Roundtable meeting and presented the draft
changes. On May 2, 2019 staff forwarded the draft revisions to staff of the Gilroy
Economic Development Corporation, the Gilroy Chamber of Commerce and the
Downtown Gilroy Business Association. In response to some of the feedback received ,
additional edits were included, such as clarifying that retail drive-through uses may be
allowed in commercial zones. In addition, the Planning Commission public hearing
packets are available through the City’s webpage.
As required by law separate notices of the Planning Commission meeting and City
Council meeting were advertised in The Gilroy Dispatch (no less than 10 days prior to
the meetings). Given that the amendments apply city-wide a separate mailed notice to
property owners was not required.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
It is recommended that the Council continued this item to the August 19, 2019 City
Council Meeting. The Council may open the public hearing, take public comment, and
leave the public hearing open until this continued date.
The agenda item will provide the City Council the opportunity to implement the
Downtown Commercial Corridor Development Incentive Program by adopting an
addendum to the City’s Comprehensive Fee Schedule, resetting certain processing fees
to the amounts reflected in the Economic Incentive Policy. The Downtown Commercial
8.E
Packet Pg. 161
Corridor Development Incentive Program was reported on in length during the July 1 st
2019 City Council Meeting. This item tonight is a follow-up with much less detail. More
information will also be provided during the August 19, 2019 City Council Meeting.
BACKGROUND
The City Council has provided direction for staff to pursue a variety of economic
development related activities, update the economic incentive policy, and, in a broader
view, expressed an interest in expanding the City's overall economic development role.
On February 19, 2019 Council provided direction to develop some pilot programs to
spur investment in the City of Gilroy and key commercial corridors, as identified in
the Place-Based Economic Development Strategy.
On June 17, 2019 Council reviewed the details of the amendments and gave
preliminary approval. Council requested staff to bring the policy amendments back
for final approval.
On July 1, 2019 Council took action approving an update to the existing Economic
Incentive Policy. The update amended the Economic Incentive Policy as follows:
a.) Reduced the barriers to apply for the impact fee deferral program
b.) Expanded the types of businesses that may apply for incentives, such as auto
dealers
c.) Incorporated the Government Finance Officers Association’s accountability
framework
d.) Added the Downtown Commercial Corridor Development Incentive Program
ALTERNATIVES
The basic alternatives exist:
1. Proceed with the status quo. Make no alterations to the Fee Schedule. STAFF
DOES NOT RECOMMEND THIS ALTERNATIVE because it will prevent the City
from implementing the new Economic Incentive Policy and hinder the City
Council’s efforts in pursuing the Revitalization of Downtown.
2. Adopt the resolution. STAFF RECOMMENDS THIS ALTERNATIVE to help
Council implement the Economic Incentive Policy and the Strategic Goals of
Revitalizing Downtown and Focusing on Revenue Driven Economic
Development
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
The adoption of the fee amendment will result in a reduction to Community
Development revenue and will be backfilled from other General Fund revenues. The
other revenues are budgeted to fund other departments’ programs and/or projects in the
FY20 and FY21 adopted budgets.
8.E
Packet Pg. 162
NEXT STEPS
After adoption, the fee schedule will be updated and the downtown will have revised
processing fees.
Since the adoption of the fee schedule is a part of implementing the Economic Incentive
Policy, the Communications and Engagement Manger will help communicate the
updated fees along with the incentive policy to Gilroy’s Downton business community.
Besides outreach and marketing, the Administration and Community Development
Departments will also train staff to accurately explain the revised fees and the incentive
program so that on first contact with a customer everyone is given the same message
and is aware of the available incentives. This will become a part of the One-Stop
Development Services Center framework for enhanced customer service.
As soon as it is feasible, the Deputy City Administrator for Economic Development will
be responsible for policy implementation and monitoring, including quarterly updates.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
The City Administration staff met with representatives from the key stakeholder
organizations: Gilroy Downtown Business Association, Chamber of Commer ce, and
Economic Development Corporation. The item for tonight’s meeting was listed in the
agenda and advertised.

Supporting the Miller Red Barn Association’s Application for a

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution of the City Council of the City of Gilroy approving the use of City-
owned property for the proposed capital improvement project in support of the Miller
Red Barn Association’s application for a County of Santa Clara historic grant .
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Miller Red Barn Association (the Association) and the City of Gilroy (the City) have
an executed and outstanding, financially non-binding, Memorandum of Understanding
approving the Association’s use of the Miller Red Barn Site (Project Site).
10.A
Packet Pg. 170
In June of 2019 the Association approached the City and expressed a desire to apply
for the County of Santa Clara’s Historic Grant Program and asked for the City’s support.
They intend to use the potential grant to develop the Project Site.
The Historic Grant Program procedures, as revised on June 4, 2019, require the City to
adopt a Resolution establishing as a matter of record that the City supports their long-
term use of the Project Site.
BACKGROUND
In the late 1800’s until his death in 1916, Gilroy was home to Henry Miller, the largest
landowner and cattle baron of his age. In 1891, Henry Miller built a barn on the property
now known as the Ranch Side of Christmas Hill Park. Its purpose was for local hay
storage for his cattle and horses then in later years for processing stone fruit grown on
Miller’s property.
In 2014 the City recognized that in its dilapidated condition the structure may pose a
health and safety risk to visitors to the Christmas Hill Park. The City considered
demolishing the red barn. The Association stepped in to save the structure. At that time
a memorandum of understanding was established with the Association to provide them
the opportunity to restore the Miller Red Barn at Christmas Hill Park’s Ranch Site, in lieu
of the City demolishing it.
In 2016, through the hard work of the Association’s volunteers, the barn received
designation as a State Historical Landmark. Once the State Historical Landmark
designation the Miller Red Barn Association was received, the MRBA volunteers were
able to apply and receive a National Historical Landmark designation.
In 2018 the association was working toward obtaining a grant to install a foundation
around the barn. One of the grant requirements was that the Miller Red Barn should
have a designation of “Locally Historic Significance” (in addition to the State and
National designation the structure has already received).
At its February 21, 2018 meeting the Historic Heritage Committee recommended
approval of the designation to the Planning Commission.
On April 29, 2018 the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Miller
Red Barn as a building of local historic significance to the City Council.
At the June 4, 2018 City Council Meeting, the City Council adopted an ordinance
approving a zone change to establish the designation of Locally Historic
Significance to the Miller Red Barn, located in Christmas Hill Park, Ranch Site,
7049 Miller Avenue (APN 808-18-022). The Council also adopted a resolution
approving the Miller Red Barn Association’s application for a County of Santa
Clara Historical Heritage Grant.
On June 4, 2019 the City met with The Miller Red Barn Association to hear their
proposal for updating the existing Memorandum of Understanding between the City and
10.A
Packet Pg. 171
the Association. The Association expressed a desire to apply for the County of Santa
Clara’s Historic Grant Program and asked for the City’s support. They intend to use the
potential grant to develop the Project Site.
The Historic Grant Program is separate and different from the Historical Heritage Grant
Program. While the association applied for the Historical Heritage Grant Program in
2018, they are now applying for the Historic Grant Program. The Historic Grant Program
requires a new resolution by the City supporting the project. The resolution attached for
tonight’s consideration is similar, if not identical, to the one passed in 2018, the only
difference is the name of the grant.
ALTERNATIVES
Council is presented with two options:
1. Council can approve the proposed resolution approving the Miller Red Barn
Association’s application for a County of Santa Clara Historic Grant. THIS
ACTION IS RECOMMENDED because a restored and renovated historic site
may provide a new opportunity for recreation, historical heritage, and tourism for
the community.
2. The Council can choose to not adopt the proposed resolution. If this option is
chosen, the Miller Red Barn Committee will not qualify for the grant to fund the
cost of renovations. THIS ACTION IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
Significant time has been spent over the past couple years to assist the Miller Red Barn
Association with the various historic designations. Staff involvement has occurred at the
Community Development and Public Works Director, Planning Manager, City Engineer
and Senior Planner levels. More recently the City Administrator’s Office has also been
involved.
The City Council may recognize the partnership effort, whereby the volunteers of the
Miller Red Barn Association have taken the lead to create the background
documentation and efforts to secure historic designation at the Federal and State levels.
While the City has not received monetary compensation for processing this request, the
City will receive recognition from the historic designation of the Miller Red Barn. A fully
restored and renovated historical site, similar to the tone and tenor of Emma Prusch
Farm Regional Park, may provide a new opportunity for recreation, historical heritage,
and tourism for the community.
NEXT STEPS
If approved, the Miller Red Barn Association will proceed with th eir plan to apply for the
County of Santa Clara’s Historic Grant Program and work with the City Administrator to
execute agreements.
10.A
Packet Pg. 172
In the future, City staff may present to the City Council a lease of the site to the Miller
Red Barn Association to delineate roles and manage risk.
When funds are secured and agreements are executed, the Miller Red Barn Association
will begin reconstruction efforts.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
10.B
Packet Pg. 176
The City of Gilroy is a public employer.
As such, and consistent with the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA), the City
engages in a collective bargaining process with represented employees through
bargaining units. The process typically occurs over a three to four month period
before the expiration of the existing labor contract.
City employees (except executives and certain others) are organized into five
different bargaining units and are represented by unions.
The product of the collective bargaining process is an MOU (“memorandum of
understanding” or “Memoranda” for plural). MOUs specify the terms and
conditions of employment.
AFSCME, Local 101 has two bargaining units with the City of Gilroy, a General
Employee Unit and a Supervisory Employee Unit.
The agenda item tonight is to review and approve the MOUs for the two
AFSCME, Local 101 bargaining groups for the next two fiscal years, FY20 and
FY21.
BACKGROUND
Staff concluded negotiations with AFL-CIO, AFSCME, Local 101 General and
Supervisory groups (approximately 120 members) for successor Memoranda of
Understanding (MOUs) including salary schedules for the time period of July 1, 2019 –
June 30, 2021, in conformance with Council direction. Final copies of the MOUs and the
corresponding salary schedules are attached for Council’s review and approval. Staff
worked with bargaining team members to prepare the changes to the MOU documents.
The final draft of the MOU has been reviewed by representatives of the bargaining unit
and a designated representative from the negotiating team has signed -off on the final
document. The remaining members of the AFSCME negotiations team and the City
negotiating team will sign the document following Council approval.
The main areas of change for the AFSMCE, Local 01 General and Supervisory Unit
MOUs are summarized below:
Two year contracts (July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2021)
Salary increases as follows:
3% salary increase effective July 1, 2019
3% salary increase effective July 1, 2020
Continue the current cost share program for health care
In FY21, implement city contribution of $30 per employee per month to a city
deferred compensation plan
Minor increases to Public Works field employees uniform and safety boot purchases
10.B
Packet Pg. 177
Re-establish uniform allowance for Deputy Fire Marshal; uniform provided for FY20;
uniform allowance to begin FY21
Minor increase to Code Enforcement safety boot purchases
Implement shift differential for parks maintenance employees regularly assigned to
work on Saturday and/or Sunday as part of the employee’s weekly work schedule;
$75 per month for one weekend shift per week or $150 per month for two wee kend
shifts per week
Other minor clean-up/clarification language to update MOU – no cost associated
with these updates
FISCAL IMPACT
The FY20 cost for the new MOU changes is estimated to be approximately:
$418,899 (approximately $226,000 is General Fund)
The FY21 cost for the new MOU changes is estimated to be approximately:
$520,401 (approximately $281,800 is General Fund)
The majority of these costs were included in the FY20 and FY21 adopted budget. At this
time, it is anticipated that any remaining costs can be absorbed within the current
appropriation level.

Safety
☐ Workforce Stability ☐ Public Engagement
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the City Administrator’s compensation package increase effective April 1, 2019
with a 5% market equity adjustment to $238,493 annually, a 3% performance increase
to $245,648 annually, and an increase vacation accrual from three to four weeks per
year.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City Council Sub-Committee (Mayor Velasco, Council Member Tovar, and Council
Member Tucker) is recommending compensation increases for the City Administrator
effective retro-active to April 1, 2019 as follows:
A 5% market equity increase
10.C
Packet Pg. 267
A 3% performance/merit increase
Increase in vacation accrual from three weeks per year to four weeks per year
The justification for the market equity increase is based upon a compensation survey of
twelve comparable agencies which indicates the cash compensation package for the
City Administrator classification is approximately 9.5% below the market average. This
adjustment will bring the compensation within the +-5% range which is the best practice
the City of Gilroy strives to achieve when possible.
Further, based upon the job performance of the City Administrator, including
achievement of designated organizational goals and objectives, it is recommended that
the City Administrator receive a 3% performance/merit based salary increase. While the
two combined increases will still result in the cash compensation package being below
the market average by about 1.5%, the changes will bring the compensation to a
competitive range for the position of City Administrator. Finally, most City
Administrators/City Managers, especially those with the years of local government city
management experience similar to Gilroy’s City Administrator, receive at least four
weeks of vacation per year. Therefore, the change in vacation accrual will bring this
benefit to a more comparable level.
Compensation Description
Annual Compensation
Amount
Current annual City Administrator salary 227,136$
5% market equity increase, effective 4/1/19 11,357$
3% performance/merit increase, effective 4/1/19 7,155$
Annual salary, effective 4/1/19 245,648$
FISCAL IMPACT
The salary cost associated with this increase is $18,512 annually. The total annual cost
(including salary and salary-related benefits) is approximately $19,438. Due to the City
Administrator falling under the Public Employee Pension Reform Act (PEPRA), the
compensation increase is not PERSable due to the compensation limits set by the CA
Government Code. The additional one week of vacation has a value of approximately
$4,724 though does not convert to cash unless the City Administrator separates
employment. The compensation increases noted above are allocated to the General
Fund and funds are available in the FY 20 and FY 21 bu dgets to cover this cost.

Agenda Item Title: Presentation of the Proposed Use of Small Unmanned Aerial
Systems in Public Safety (continued from June 17, 2019 and July 1,

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The use of small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) has become increasingly useful for
public safety agencies to aid in the mitigation of crime, search and rescue, and crime
scene assessment and reconstruction. Technological advances have made it a powerful
tool that provides beneficial advantages in safety and efficiency. The primary
advantages of the sUAS include:
The sUAS enhance officer safety with aerial support during tactical operations.
11.A
Packet Pg. 269
Continuous sight on a suspect provides our officers the confidence that they
could put resident’s safety first and still be able to capture the suspect
The sUAS are a force multiplier and create a high-risk environment for criminals
The sUAS have a considerable price below that of any other aerial system.
Encrypted footage from crime scenes has evidentiary value and is readily
available at no extra cost, unlike a subpoena for a pilot or witness
It also provides a public safety service by protecting lives and property when
existing resources are not available or less effective.
This report will provide an overview of the benefits to acquiring an unmanned aerial
system to assist police personnel in public safety operations and to provide a review of
the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) registration options.
BACKGROUND
An unmanned aircraft system defined by statute “as an aircraft that is operated without
the possibility of direct human intervention from within or on the aircraft” (Public Law
112-95, Section 331(8)). The use of such sUAS systems by public safety agencies has
been increasing and reports by those agencies indicate a favorable response in the
benefit to their public safety activities.
The Gilroy Police Department would like to acquire a small unmanned aerial system as
a standalone unit with a robust camera featuring 4K ultra HD thermal imagery and
vision enhancement technology. This camera option includes the ability to pro vide still,
burst, interval photography and video capabilities. The operational range of the sUAS is
up to 4.35 miles with the ability to fly up to thirty-eight minutes in a wide range of
weather conditions including high winds and inclement temperatures. The sUAS offers
real-time situational awareness allowing the asset to be “eyes” first on scene during
critical incidents and immediately and continuously provide live video feed to ground
personnel. We would use the sUAS in the capacity of public safety missions, training
operations, demonstrations, and in support of other city departments.
Currently the only aerial support available in the County is through the San Jose Police
Department and the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Department. Both agencies have very
limited flight schedules and are unavailable most of the time.
ANALYSIS
The Police Department recognizes the value a sUAS will have on enhancing public
safety efforts by allowing trained personnel to deploy the unit, support officers in crime
suppression efforts, and provide aerial support during tactical police operations.
The intent of the Department is to utilize the sUAS during the following types of
operational situations:
11.A
Packet Pg. 270
Critical incident events
Accident investigations
Supporting criminal investigations (e.g. search/arrest warrants)
Disaster management
Search and rescue operations
Perimeter searches and security
Hostage situations and barricaded subjects
Crowd control assessment
Routine training evaluations: SWAT, EVOC, K-9, etc.
The sUAS could also provide interdepartmental support for infrastructure inspections.
Some potential examples would include Fire Prevention inspections of restaurant
rooftop hood and duct systems where grease accumulates and could potentially ignite a
fire. A sUAS can assist personnel in facilitating visual access to the rooftops to inspect
cooking systems more expeditiously while providing the inspector, who remains on the
ground, with 4K HD imagery of the rooftop hood and duct systems. During weed
abatement season, the sUAS would allow for the inspection of large acreage parcels to
ensure compliance of firebreaks and defensible space around large structures. The
benefits of using the sUAS to perform inspections while transmitting video footage to
personnel increases staff efficiency by reducing the health and safety risks of
employees during inspections on unstable terrain, elevated exteriors, and slippery
surfaces.
Aerial capabilities could be provided to the Fire Department during large-scale disasters
such as flooding, earthquakes, and wild land or structure fires. This would facilitate
enhanced response times while minimizing safety risks to fire personnel. sUAS would
improve the overall situational awareness for incident command staff on almost any
large-scale incident in the city.
The use of sUAS has become increasingly useful for law enforcement agencies; many
agencies have more than one unit in their equipment inventory. As of 2017at least 910
public safety agencies operate a sUAS program and 58 of those agencies are located in
California. sUAS are a cost effective option over manned aircraft, can deploy quicker in
emergencies, and can fly lower than traditional aircraft.
One of the key benefits of sUAS is the availability of the unit for immediate public safety
needs. As a local asset, the sUAS may be deployed by the City of Gilroy at any time to
assist officers and/or additional emergency personnel, such as Fire Department and
natural disaster crews.
The Federal Aviation Administration regulations provide two legal frameworks that
public safety agencies can select for registration and use of the small unmanned
systems. One option is to operate under Code of Federal Regulation 14 (Part 107). The
second option is to obtain a certificate of authorization (COA) under section 333.
11.A
Packet Pg. 271
Obtaining a COA under section 333 was previously the only option for public safety
agencies to operate sUAS and required a long and complicated process to obtain a
certificate. Once an agency obtains a COA there is more flexibility in operating within
restricted airspace, however agencies are required to submit monthly reports to the FAA
and file Notice of Airman’s (NOTAMs) for each mission.
In August 2016, the FAA launched a new set of regulations known as Part 107. These
were the FAA’s first official rules governing the commercial and public safety use of
small unmanned aerial systems. Part 107 requires operators to obtain a remote pilot
certificate by passing a knowledge-based test at an FAA approved testing center. Once
a pilot successfully receives remote pilot certification, they can fly within Part 107
guidelines. Part 107 guidelines include operating below 400’ above ground level, within
visual line of sight and during daylight hours. Currently, certified operators can ap ply for
exemptions from Part 107 rules for any critical public safety missions through an online
portal on a case-by-case basis, pursuant to the Special Government Interest (SGI)
amendment process.
The City of Gilroy lies beneath Class E (restricted) airspace which is above 700’ and
Class G (unrestricted) airspace below 700’. Because Part 107 only allows sUAS to
operate below 400’ deployments conducted in the City limits would not require airspace
waivers as they will be flown within Class G (unrestricted) airspace. Based on the type
of airspace over the City of Gilroy, the types of expected missions, and through direction
from FAA officials, it is the intention of the Police Department to operate under the Part
107 regulation. Currently, four Gilroy Police Officers have been certified as Part 107
remote pilots. The option of applying for a COA under section 333 remains an option in
the future should a need arise.
The FAA has recently proposed changes to the current sUAS rules to include allowing
the unit to fly over people and allowing operators to launch the unit during nighttime
hours. Allowing the sUAS to fly over people will facilitate police personnel to better
assess critical and dangerous circumstances, such as active shooter situations. Police
personnel will continue to monitor the outcome of the FAA’s proposed regulations.

1. Direct staff to submit a comprehensive sUAS report that includes operational
policies, guidelines and FAA information in support of starting a sUAS program.
STAFF RECOMMENDS THIS ALTERNATIVE
2. Direct staff to continue reliance on allied agencies for aerial support when
available. STAFF DOES NOT RECOMMEND THIS ALTERNATIVE due to the
unreliability and very limited deployment schedule.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Gilroy Police Foundation has offered to purchase a sUAS unit as a donation to the
Gilroy Police Department. Models being considered range in price from $10,000-
11.A
Packet Pg. 272
$20,000 each. Other future expenses may include mapping, accident and crime
reconstruction software. Training of police personnel will be absorbed into the current
training budget.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
The Police Department will conduct a public engagement campaign in partnership with
the City’s Community Communications and Engagement Manager. Information will be
shared via our digital media platforms and community meetings will be scheduled to
interact with our residents to answer questions and explain the proposed program. The
Department wants to be very transparent about when a sUAS could be used and when
they would not be used.
CONCLUSION
Acquiring a sUAS to support police personnel in law enforcement efforts is a valuable
safety tool that will provide an alternative to unnecessarily exposing officers to physical
dangers while minimizing danger to the public. The sUAS is an additional asset for both
police officers and other City Departments for use during emergency and developing
situations. It allows specially trained officers to view dangerous situations from a safe
distance, covering large areas in short periods of time, and providing an overview of
critical incidents.
NEXT STEPS
With Council approval the Police Department will begin development of the sUAS
program to include:
Operational policies and guidelines
Community engagement outreach
Comprehensive training program
Data retention policy
Federal Aviation Administration registration
Confirmation of Police Foundation donation
Remote pilot license certifications
Once completed staff will present another report to Council requesting approval to
implement the sUAS program.
