A. Tentative Map TM 17-01 (#17030055) application requests subdivision of
approximately 103 acres for build-out of the Town Center area of the Glen Loma
Ranch Specific Plan. The subject site is located north of Santa Teresa Boulevard,
between West Tenth Street and Miller Avenue, and comprises APN # 808-18-003
(portion), 808-19-010 (portion), 808-19-022, 808-19-023, and 808-19-024 (portion). The
approved Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan anticipates a variety of land uses in this
area, including residential, commercial, and public services. As such, the requested
map proposes to create 23 residential condominium lots,; three parcels for public
facilities (a fire station and two public trails); seven lots for private open space (five
of which are specific to the condominium development); four 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 Town Center at Glen Loma Ranch.

FROM: Sue O'Strander, Interim Development Center Manager
SUBJECT: General Plan Amendment Request to Convert a Planned Through
Collector Street into a Cul-de-sac at Silacci Way, Between
Cameron Boulevard and Venture Way (APNs: 841-17-107 and 841-
17-108). Application Filed by Joseph McCarthy c/o McCarthy Gilroy
LLC. GPA 17-01 (#17080047)
1) Request: Convert a planned cut through collector street into a cul-de-sac at
Silacci Way, south of Holloway Road. The 2020 General Plan Circulation Plan Map
shows Silacci Way as a collector street running from Pacheco Pass Highway (State
Route 152) to Venture Way. Therefore, the general plan will need to be amended
to revise this map.
2) Recommendation: Staff has analyzed the proposed project, and recommends
that the Planning Commission adopt a resolution recommending that the City
Council approve the General Plan Map Amendment, GPA 17-01 as requested,
subject to certain findings and conditions.
3) Subject Property and Surrounding Land Uses: The 11.04-acre subject site is
made up of two parcels (APNs 841-17-107 and 841-17-108) presently vacant but
surrounded by small industrial and business parks. The site makes up part of the
original Wellington Business Park. See Attachment A for project location map.

4) Environmental Assessment: The proposed project is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under the following class of exemption: CEQA
Guidelines Section 10561(b)(3), the “general rule” exemption, as the city has
determined that there is no possibility that the activity in question (i.e., the general
plan map amendment to convert a planned cut-through collector street into a
collector cul-de-sac) would have a significant effect on the environment. However,
any future development on the proposed site would be subject to additional
environmental review to address potential impacts resulting from development of
the site.
The City’s CEQA consultant, EMC Planning Group, conducted an independent
review and evaluation of the proposed project, conducted independent research,
and reviewed previous CEQA and technical documentation prepared by the city.
The documentation included the certified Wellington Business Park MND adopted
by the city in 2000 as well as technical memos prepared to address the project’s
effect on the city’s travel demand model, cultural resources, and the potential for a
well site on or near the project site. Additionally, sufficient fire and emergency
access for the proposed cul-de-sac was considered by city staff and was found to
be adequate for a collector cul-de-sac. Based on its review, EMC Planning Group
concluded that none of the exceptions listed in CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2
(a-f) apply to the proposed project. Therefore, a General Rule Exemption is
appropriate pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3).
Filing of a Notice of Exemption is not mandated, however, it reduces the statute of
limitations for legal challenges under CEQA, from 180 days to 35 days. No further
assessment is necessary for this proposal, and a Notice of Exemption may be filed
for the project. A copy of the Notice of Exemption is attached to this staff report as
Attachment B.
5) Background Information: The planned through connector street, Silacci Way, is
not currently constructed (i.e. it is a dead-end street) within the surrounding land
use of General Industrial. In 2002, the City developed a General Plan Circulation
Plan Map that showed Silacci Way as a cut through street to Venture Way.
Therefore, the General Plan would need to be amended to revise this map. On
August 23, 2017, the applicant submitted a General Plan map amend ment
application to amend the City’s General Plan Circulation Map to show Silacci Way
as a cul-de-sac rather than a cut thru collector street (see Attachment C for copy of
site plan for general plan map amendment). The applicant believes Silacci Way will
not provide any benefit to future and existing uses in the area by extending to
Venture Way and negatively impacts the development potential of the two adjacent
parcels significantly.
5.A
Packet Pg. 9

Staff notes that the original Uniform Application form referenced an anticipated
development on the site with two single-story warehouse buildings totaling 172,802
square feet. However, for the purposes of this general plan map amendment
application, the project description only includes the conversion of the cut through
collector street into a cul-de-sac at Silacci Way. Any future development
applications will be reviewed separately.
6) General Plan Consistency: The City's General Plan designates the subject site
for General Industrial uses. The applicant requests a General Plan map
amendment to convert a planned collector to a cul-de-sac, which is intended to
support future development of the site for industrial uses. As such, the proposal
conforms to the goals and policies of the General Plan. Key goals and policies,
which pertain to the proposed project are discussed below:
POLICY # TITLE AND SUMMARY ANALYSIS
1.03 Uses East of Highway 101. Restrict
lands east of Highway 101 to
industrial and agricultural use except
for (1) commercial developments
that draw a clear majority of
customers from outside of Gilroy, in
accordance with criteria established
by the City of Gilroy; and (2) public
and quasi-public facilities identified
on the Land Use Plan Map. The City
will encourage the maintenance of
agricultural uses in all undeveloped
industrially designated areas.
The proposed project would continue to
conform to the General Plan designation of
General Industrial uses for the areas east
of Highway 101. No land uses would be
changed from their current designation.
3.04 Industrial Growth. Encourage new
industrial uses to locate in Gilroy that
can provide jobs for Gilroy residents.
Discourage industrial uses that
create noxious or nuisance
conditions, as well as industries that
would substantially fuel housing and
population growth and place
excessive burdens on public
services, facilities, and schools.
Phase new industrial development
according to the availability of local
housing, public facility capacities,
and provision of urban services (see
also Policy 2.02, Rate and Timing of
Growth).
The proposed project would not discourage
industrial development of the site as part of
the Wellington Business Park. Rather the
General Plan Amendment would
encourage development of the two
adjacent parcels by providing a
consolidated development parcel.
3.06 Industrial Parks. Continue to
encourage the development of well-
designed industrial park areas (in
terms of parcel size, landscaping,
and location) to attract new light
The proposed project would not hinder the
future development of the site as a part of
the Wellington Business Park.

POLICY # TITLE AND SUMMARY ANALYSIS
industrial development to the Gilroy
area.
12.01 Street System. Use the proposed
major street system (designed to
accommodate traffic at build-out of
the General Plan) shown on the
Circulation Map and the Bicycle
Transportation Plan Map to guide
long-term planning of the citywide
circulation system.
While part of the original Circulation Map
for the city, the cut-through collector shown
at Silacci Way has not been incorporated
into city traffic modeling and has not
factored into long-term planning of the
citywide circulation system. Therefore, its
elimination from the Circulation Map to
reflect a cul-de-sac would not hinder further
transportation planning efforts within the
city.
12.08 Standard Level of Service (LOS).
Maintain traffic conditions at LOS C
or better at Gilroy intersections and
roadways, allowing some
commercial and industrial areas (as
specified on the ‘Level of Service D
Areas’ Map, page 6-11) to operate at
LOS D or better. Exceptions to this
standard will be allowed only where
the City Council determines that the
improvements needed to maintain
the City’s standard level of service at
specific locations are infeasible.
Per a review conducted by Hexagon
Transportation Consultants (see
Attachment D), the subject portion of
Silacci Way has not been included as a
component of the Gilroy Travel Demand
Model and has not factored into level of
service demand for the city. The review
conducted by Hexagon Transportation
Consultants found that level of service
standards would not be negatively affected
as a result of converting the planned cut-
through street into a cul-de-sac.
7) Staff Analysis for General Plan Amendment (GPA 17-01): Staff investigated
three main issues of concern: traffic, municipal groundwater well siting, and
archaeological resources.
City staff contacted Hexagon Transportation Consultants to confirm that the traffic
models used for the City’s 2020 General Plan did not include the Silacci Way
connection between Holloway Road and Venture Way. Through a memo prepared
in September 2017, it was confirmed that this connection was not assumed for any
of the general plan traffic studies that have been done since the City’s travel
demand model was developed (2008 and after). Hexagon determined that Cam ino
Arroyo and Cameron Boulevard carry the extra traffic load without the Silacci Way
connection and that levels of service at the critical intersections around the site are
found to be at acceptable levels. The memo is attached to this staff report as
Attachment D.
City staff also contacted AKEL Engineering Group to determine the necessity for
the City to have an additional groundwater well in order to meet existing demands
and to assess the City’s current planned well site location adjacent to the
intersection of Silacci Way and Holloway Road. Based on the City’s annual
production data, AKEL concluded that the City should construct one new
groundwater well in the near future to meet existing demands. Additionally, AKEL
5.A
Packet Pg. 11
5
determined that because the planned groundwater well location is near a 12-inch
water main and preliminary hydraulic analysis suggests that the planned location is
suitable, it is recommended that additional hydrogeologic investigation occur to
confirm the yield of a new groundwater well at this site. Further communications
between the applicant and the City Engineer confirmed that the proposed well site
would be located at the adjacent site with access from Cameron Boulevard. The
AKEL Engineering report is attached to this staff report as Attachment E.
Amendment to a General Plan requires the City to implement Senate Bill 18
(Government Code §65352.3), which requires local governments to consult with
the California Native American tribes identified by the Native American Heritage
Commission (NAHC) for the purpose of protecting, and/or mitigating impacts to
cultural places. In accordance with statutory requirements stipulated in Senate Bill
18, EMC Planning Group submitted a request to the NAHC by e-mail on
September 13, 2017 for a Tribal Consultation List on behalf of the City. EMC
Planning Group subsequently sent a letter to each tribal representative identified
on the list and received a response on December 12, 2017 by Valentin Lopez,
Chairman of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, with a request for a formal
consultation.
At the request of the City, a draft cultural resource evaluation was prepared by
Archaeological Resource Management (ARM) to determine the presence of
archaeological resources within the area. Based on this evaluation, Mr. Lopez
stated that the Tribe would like to have a Native American monitor from the Amah
Mutsun Tribal Band to be assigned to the project if any cultural resource materials
are discovered onsite. As a condition of approval, city staff has revised the city’s
standard conditions of approval which require notification of tribal representatives
upon discovery of cultural resources and/or human remains to reflect Mr. Lopez’s
specific request.
8) 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 September 7, 2017. Recommendations of the TAC
members have been incorporated into the project plans and/or are included as
recommended conditions in attached resolution(s).
Comments received from the City Fire Marshal involved fire access requirements
such that the cul-de-sac shall provide a minimum inside turn radius of 39 feet,
which the applicant has satisfied by indicating that the outside turn radius would be
59 feet.
Concerns were raised with regard to the planned groundwater well site location,
which fell within the boundaries of the project site. However, as stated in the
previous section, the City’s Land Development Engineer has agree d that the
proposed well would not be located within the subject parcel and would be instead
located at the adjacent site with access from Cameron Boulevard.
9) Noticing: Property owner information (i.e. list, labels, and map) within 500 feet of
5.A
Packet Pg. 12

the subject site were generated by Data Pro Mapping using current ownership
data. Public notices were mailed to the property owners along within other
interested parties, in accordance with City requirements. In addition, the property
has been posted with on-site signage notifying passers-by of pending
development, and the Planning Commission public hearing packets are available
through the City's webpage.
10) 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.

subject to additional environmental review to address potential impacts as a result of development of the site.
The City’s CEQA consultant, EMC Planning Group, conducted an independent review and evaluation of the
proposed project, conducted independent research, and reviewed previous CEQA and technical documentation
prepared by the City. The documentation included the certified Wellington Business Park MND adopted by the
city in 2000 as well as technical memos prepared to address the project’s effect on the city’s travel demand model,
cultural resources, and the potential for a well site on or near the project site. Additionally, sufficient fire and
emergency access for the proposed cul-de-sac was considered by city staff and was found to be adequate for a
collector cul-de-sac. Based on its review, EMC Planning Group concluded that none of the exceptions listed in
CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 (a-f) apply to the proposed project. Therefore, a General Rule Exemption is
appropriate pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3).

From: Jeff Elia
Subject: Silacci Way Extension
Per EMCs request, Hexagon researched the status of the Silacci Way extension (from its current terminus at
Holloway Road) to Venture Way in the City of Gilroy Travel Demand Model. We found that the Gilroy Model
never had the Silacci connection between Holloway and Venture.
The Gilroy model started out as the VTA regional model, which lacks detail at the local transportation network
level. Most local streets are missing as are some minor collector streets. That portion of Silacci was one of the
collector streets missing in Gilroy in the regional model. To develop the City of Gilroy travel demand model,
the VTA regional model was refined and additional detail was added to make it suitable for local traffic
forecasting applications. It appears that portion of Silacci was never added to the Gilroy model when it was
being developed for City use.
In looking through the different versions of the Gilroy model that existed throughout the course of developing/
calibrating it for local Gilroy use (beginning around 2007/08) and in refining it once again for the 2040 GP
work (2014/15), it appears that further adjustments were made to the Silacci area to remove traffic analysis
zone connections to Silacci. Presumably this adjustment was made because the model was assigning too
much traffic to Silacci given that it is probably underutilized and looks like a more attractive route to the model
than either Camino Arroyo or Cameron. Since the Silacci intersection at Highway 152 is unsignalized and it
would only serve a limited number of development parcels, it would not be logical for a significant amount of
traffic to use that connection, especially considering it is located in close proximity to two traffic signals which
would provide a much better and direct route out of the areas south of the highway.
In summary, for all of the general plan traffic study work that has been done since the City’s travel demand
model was developed (2008 and after), the Silacci connection to Venture was not assumed. In other words,
Camino Arroyo and Cameron carry the extra traffic load without that connection and all planning work has
assumed this extra traffic load on those two streets.
In the most recent GP amendment that was done for the UNFI facility, south of Venture Way, to remove a
portion of Camino Arroyo from the GP circulation network, this portion of Silacci is not included. Even without
this portion of Silacci and removing the piece of Camino Arroyo through the UNFI site, LOS at the critical
intersections was found to be at acceptable levels.

Attention: Rebecca Tolentino
Interim Planning Manager
Subject: Silacci Way Well Site Evaluation
Dear Rebecca:
We are pleased to submit this letter report documenting the results of the Silacci Way Well Site
Evaluation. The purpose of this analysis was to determine the City of Gilroy’s (City) need for an
additional groundwater well to meet existing demands, and evaluate the currently planned well site
location near the intersection of Silacci Way and Holloway Road (Figure 1).
Supply Analysis
The City’s historical supply capacity was evaluated to determine recent trends in demands and supply
availability (Table 1). Based on annual production data for the years 2013, 2014, and 2015, as well as
a Maximum Day Demand (MDD) peaking factor of 2.3, the City’s did not have adequate supply during
the years 2013 and 2014. It should be noted that the City’s supply surplus in the year 2015 is largely
due to reduced City-wide demand as a result of strict water conservation measures enforced as part
of the recent state-wide drought. Therefore, as a result of the supply analysis summarized on Table 1,
it is recommended that the City plan to construct one new groundwater well in the near future to meet
existing customer’s needs.
Preliminary Well Site Evaluation
Based on discussions with City staff, a well site is currently planned to be incorporated into future
development southeast of the intersection of Silacci Way and Holloway Road. This site is in close
proximity to an existing 12-inch water pipeline that terminates at the intersection of Silacci Way and
Holloway Road (Figure 1). This location is approximately 3,300 feet from the nearest existing well
site. Based on the distance from the nearest well, the proximity to the 12-inch water main, and the
supply deficiency that currently exists, it is recommended that further investigation be completed to
verify the yield of a new groundwater well at this site.

Conclusion
Based on the results of the supply analysis summarized on Table 1 it is recommended that the City
construct one new groundwater well in the near future to accommodate existing demands. The
planned site currently identified by the City is in close proximity to a 12-inch water main and
preliminary hydraulic analysis indicates this location is suitable for the construction of a new well. It is
recommended that a hydrogeologic investigation verify the potential yield of a well in this location, and
pending the results, a new groundwater well be constructed.

SUBJECT: Recommendation of the Designation of the Miller Red Barn located
in Christmas Hill Park, Ranch Side, 7049 Miller Avenue (APN 808 -
18-022) as a Locally Significant Historic Resource (Z 18-02)
1) Request: Consideration of the Miller Red Barn, located in Christmas Hill Park,
Ranch Site, 7049 Miller Avenue (APN 808-18-022) as a locally significant historic
resource. (Z 18-02)
2) Recommendation: Staff has analyzed the proposed project and recommends that
the Planning Commission consider recommending that the City Council approve
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).
3) Subject Property and Surrounding Land Uses: The subject site is presently
used as a Public Recreational Facility with ball fields, trails, a Veteran’s Memorial
and grass areas. The Miller Red Barn is located in the westerly middle area of the
Ranch Site of Christmas Hill Park. Adjacent to the northeasterly border is Uvas
Creek.

4) Environmental Assessment: Sections 15308 and 15331 of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, exempts from further environmental
review those “actions taken by regulatory agencies…to assure…protection of the
environment” and projects that involve “preservation or conservation of historical
resources”. As the requested action will result in the preservation and conservation
of the Miller Red Barn, no further assessment is necessary for this request, and a
Notice of Exemption may be filed.
5) Background Information: 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. Through the
dedicated hard work of The Miller Red Barn Association (MRBA) volunteers in
2016, 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.
Currently the association is working toward obtaining a grant to install a foundation
around the barn. One of the grant requirements is that the Miller Red Barn has a
local designation of Locally Historic Significance (in addition to the State and
National designation the structure has already received).
6) General Plan Consistency: The City's General Plan designates the subject site
for Park and Recreational uses, 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 project are discussed below:
POLICY # TITLE AND SUMMARY ANALYSIS
5.01 Historic Preservation, Encourage public
and private efforts for the preservation of
historic and architecturally significant
buildings, archeological sites, and other
landmarks that give residents a tie with
the past.
The local designation will allow the
Miller Red Barn Association to
apply for a grant to construct a
concrete foundation for the barn to
help in restoration of the historic
building.
In addition, such designation would
provide future grant opportunities
for the MRBA for historic resources.
5.02 Preservation Funding and Incentives,
Seek state and federal funding for the
preservation of buildings of historical merit
and consider public/provide partnerships
for capital and program improvements.
Support the use of Mills Act contracts to
reduce property taxes on historic
properties and thereby provide a
monetary incentive for the acquisition,
maintenance, and restoration.
5.03 Historic Character, Encourage
preservation of older homes, other
5.B
Packet Pg. 29

POLICY # TITLE AND SUMMARY ANALYSIS
structures, and neighborhood districts to
maintain and enhance the historic
character of the city. In particular,
encourage the retention and rehabilitation
of older homes in and near the historic
district city center and ensure that
rehabilitation activities are sensitive to the
historic character of the building or site.
7) Conformance with Zoning Code Development Standards: The proposed
development is located in the Public Facilities zone district. In accordance with the
Gilroy City Code (GCC), the proposed local historic designation may be permitted
with an approved Zone Change.
8) Historic Heritage Committee (HHC): On February 21, 2018, the HHC considered
the request and voted to support such recommendation by the Planning
Commission.
9) Conclusion: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend that
the City Council approve 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).
10) Appeal Procedure: The Planning Commission’s action on this request is not final,
but rather a recommendation. As such, the matter will be considered by the City
Council at a later date.
