Monte Vista Avenue, Suite #214 Vacaville, CA 95688 General Plan Designation Hecker Pass Special Use District Zoning Hecker Pass Special Use District Setting The Hecker Pass Specific Plan (HPSP) Amendment (GPA 14-02) and Residential Subdivision (TM 14-04) project (hereinafter “proposed project”) is located within the HPSP area in the western portion of the City of Gilroy (hereinafter “City”), south of Hecker Pass Highway and north of Uvas Creek. Figure 1, Location Map, presents the regional location and project vicinity. Figure 2, Aerial Photograph, presents an aerial view of the project site. The proposed project consists of two sites, considered as the comprehensive project site, which are not contiguous, but are both located south of Hecker Pass Highway, as follows: 1 EMC PLANNING GROUP INC. HECKER PASS SPECIFIC PLAN (HPSP) AMENDMENT #3 (GPA 14-02) AND RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION (TM 14-04) . The first site is the northern 11-acre portion of the 18-acre South Valley Community Church (SVCC) site (assessor’s parcel number (APN) 810-21-009). Existing development on the site consists of a group of six buildings located along the Hecker Pass Highway frontage, and one building located further south on the property, that are all proposed for demolition. The remainder of the site is vacant. The adjacent uses include Hecker Pass Highway, residential and open space to the north; vacant land to the south (the remainder of the 18-acre SVCC site) that is entitled for 15 single-family residential units; senior housing to the east; and agriculture to the west. Uvas Creek corridor is located approximately 630 feet south of the southerly boundary of this first site. The second site consists of two abutting parcels; the eastern parcel is the Syngenta Flowers property (APN 810-20-005) and the western parcel, referred to as the Arias property, is (APN 810-20-004). Existing uses on the Syngenta Flowers property consist of the Syngenta flower facility, including an existing mill building, and agricultural uses. Existing uses on the Arias property consist of two residential buildings with surrounding landscaping, and vacant land. Adjacent uses consist of Hecker Pass Highway and agriculture to the north; open space and Uvas Creek to the south; and agriculture to the east and west. Description of the Proposed Project The proposed project consists of an amendment to the HPSP, a residential subdivision, the relocation of an existing mill building, and the demolition of seven buildings as described in detail below. South Valley Community Church North (SVCC-North) Site The Hecker Pass Specific Plan/South Valley Community Church EIR (HPSP EIR) was prepared in 2004 and is the original program EIR for the HPSP. As identified in the HPSP EIR, the SVCC originally sought approvals for the development of a church, daycare, wedding chapel, supporting administration building, and an elementary school on its entire 18-acre site. Then in 2008, the SVCC sought and gained approvals to amend the Community Facilities designation on the southern seven acres of the 18-acre site (hereinafter “SVCC-South”) to Residential Cluster and to permit a 15-lot single-family residential subdivision (see Figure 3, Approved GPA 07-05/TM10-05 Site Plan), currently referred to as Heartland Estates (see “CEQA History” below for more details). This current CEQA document, therefore, analyzes only the potential effects of the SVCC’s current proposed general plan amendment and tentative map that would enable development of a 33-lot single-family residential subdivision of the 11-acre “SVCC-North” site, and does not address the SVCC-South site. Figure 4, Proposed GPA 14-02/TM 14-04 SVCC-North Plan, reflects the proposed residential development of the SVCC-North site.

Wildfires with a broad range of sizes and locations have destroyed hundreds of homes; the cost to suppress wildfires across the nation typically exceeds one billion dollars annually. In recognition of this threat, many communities have worked to develop Community Wildfire Protection Plans, bringing together many stakeholders to develop strategies to mitigate the occurrence and effects of wildfire.

Seven stops include four short hikes to access rock exposures and views of the foothills east of Loma Prieta Peak between Gilroy and San José. Field-trip destinations highlight the dominant rock types of the “Franciscan assemblage” including outcrops of serpentinite, basalt, limestone, ribbon chert, graywacke sandstone, and shale. General discussions include how the rocks formed, and how tectonism and stream erosion have changed the landscape through time. All field trip stops are on public land; most are near reservoir dams of the Santa Clara Valley Water District.

  • FY21-26 Capital Improvement Program Projects
    City of Gilroy STAFF REPORT Agenda Item Title: BPC Review of FY21-26 Capital Improvement Program Projects Meeting Date: February 25, 2020 From: Girum Awoke, Director of Public Works Department: Public Works Department Submitted By: Gary Heap, City Engineer RECOMMENDATION Receive report and provide feedback. BACKGROUND The City of Gilroy’s 5-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) represents an on-going process through which the City identifies, prioritizes, and develops a multi-year work plan for major capital expenditures and their associated funding sources, in an effort to improve and maintain the City of Gilroy’s roadways, parks, facilities, and other infrastructure. Generally, CIP improvements are major expenditures that have a multi- year life and result in becoming City assets. The CIP is a strategic planning tool focusing on City owned infrastructure, summarizing in one document the City’s overall capital project needs and associated funding requirements during a five-year period. The CIP document is merely a planning tool and should be used as such in the budget preparation process. For a project to be considered for funding within the CIP, the project must meet the following criteria identified in the attached CIP Policy Document: • Have a total value greater than $25,000 USD (United States Dollars) o individual year(s) may be less than $25,000 USD for phased or ongoing projects so long as the total value when the project is completed is greater than $25,000 USD • Estimated useful life of, or extending estimated useful life by, five (5) years or more • Require advanced planning and design • Have a project duration of more than three months from inception to completion • Primarily non-recurring projects • Be developed/implemented at a fixed location Projects not meeting these criteria are not considered capital projects and may be funded as maintenance or one-time projects.
