6 3.A A. Tentative Map TM (# ) 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 # (portion), (portion), , , and (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.

Abrams DIRECTOR DATE: April 19, 2018 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Planning Commission Sue O'Strander, Interim Development Center Manager 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: and ). Application Filed by Joseph McCarthy c/o McCarthy Gilroy LLC. GPA (# ) 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 as requested, subject to certain findings and conditions. 3) Subject Property and Surrounding Land Uses: The acre subject site is made up of two parcels (APNs and ) 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.

9 5.A LOCATION EXISTING LAND USE GENERAL PLAN ZONING Buildings & mini storage West Cintas Facility Services/Vacant Land General Industrial M2 General Industrial 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 (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 amendment 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. 2 Packet Pg. 9

10 5.A 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 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) Industrial Parks. Continue to encourage the development of welldesigned industrial park areas (in terms of parcel size, landscaping, and location) to attract new light 3 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. 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. The proposed project would not hinder the future development of the site as a part of the Wellington Business Park. Packet Pg. 10

11 5.A POLICY # TITLE AND SUMMARY ANALYSIS industrial development to the Gilroy area..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..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. 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. 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 cutthrough 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 Camino 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 4 Packet Pg. 11

12 determined that because the planned groundwater well location is near a -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. 5.A Amendment to a General Plan requires the City to implement Senate Bill 18 (Government Code ), 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 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, 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, 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 agreed 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 Packet Pg.

13 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. 5.A 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. Attachments: 1. Project Site Location Map 2. Notice of Exemption 3. Reduced Project Plans 4.

16 5.A.b Reasons why project is exempt: The proposed project is not subject to CEQA under the following class of exemption: 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. Any future development on the proposed site would be 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 (a-f) apply to the proposed project.

18 5.A.d Memorandum Date: September 18, 2017 To: From: Subject: Stuart Poulter Jeff Elia 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.

20 5.A.e Smart Planning Our Water Resources September 19, 2017 City of Gilroy 7351 Rosanna Street Gilroy, CA 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 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 -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 -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.

21 5.A.e 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 -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.

(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 ). 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.

29 4) Environmental Assessment: Sections and 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.B 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 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. 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 Historic Character, Encourage preservation of older homes, other 2 Packet Pg. 29

30 5.B 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 ). 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. Attachments: 1. Z Recommended City Council Ordinance 3 Packet Pg. 30
