Exhibit 12 - Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting ProgramMitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program Surrey Farms Estates Subdivision Project 1 November 2025 INTRODUCTION Section 15097 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires all State and local agencies to establish monitoring or reporting programs for projects approved by a public agency whenever approval involves the adoption of either a “mitigated negative declaration” or specified environmental findings related to environmental impact reports. The following is the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for the Surrey Farms Estates Subdivision Project (proposed project). The intent of the MMRP is to ensure implementation of the mitigation measures identified within the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for this project. Unless otherwise noted, the cost of implementing the mitigation measures as prescribed by this MMRP shall be funded by the applicant. COMPLIANCE CHECKLIST The MMRP contained herein is intended to satisfy the requirements of CEQA as they relate to the IS/MND for the proposed project, prepared by the Town of Los Gatos. This MMRP is intended to be used by Town staff and mitigation monitoring personnel to ensure compliance with mitigation measures during project implementation. Mitigation measures identified in this MMRP were developed in the IS/MND that was prepared for the proposed project. The MMRP will provide for monitoring of construction activities as necessary and in-the-field identification and resolution of environmental concerns. The proposed project IS/MND presents a detailed set of mitigation measures that will be implemented throughout the lifetime of the proposed project. Mitigation is defined by CEQA Guidelines, Section 15370, as a measure that: •Avoids the impact altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action; •Minimizes impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and itsimplementation; •Rectifies the impact by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the impacted environment; •Reduces or eliminates the impact over time by preservation and maintenance operationsduring the life of the project; or •Compensates for the impact by replacing or providing substitute resources orenvironments. Monitoring and documenting the implementation of mitigation measures will be coordinated by the Town of Los Gatos. The applicant will be responsible for fully understanding and effectively implementing the mitigation measures contained within the MMRP. The Town will be responsible for monitoring compliance. MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM The following table indicates the item number, the checklist questions the measure is designed to address, the measure text, the monitoring agency, implementation schedule, and an area for sign-off indicating compliance.

The habitat assessment shall identify all potentially suitable roosting habitat and may be conducted up to one year prior to the start of construction. The results of the assessment shall be submitted to the Town of Los Gatos Community Development Department. IV-6 If potential roosting habitat is identified (cavities in trees or potential roosts within structures) within the areas proposed for impact, the biologist shall survey the potential roosting habitat during the active season (generally April through October or from January through March on days with temperatures in excess of 50 degrees Fahrenheit) within seven days prior to the start of construction activities to determine the presence of roosting bats. The surveys are recommended to be conducted utilizing methods that are considered acceptable by CDFW and bat experts. Methods may include evening emergence surveys, acoustic Town of Los Gatos Planning Division Town of Los Gatos Planning Division Up to one year prior to the commencement of construction activities Within seven days prior to the start of construction activities, if potential roosting habitat is identified (cavities in trees or potential roosts within structures) within the areas proposed for impact Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program Surrey Farms Estates Subdivision Project 6 November 2025 MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM SURREY FARMS ESTATES SUBDIVISION PROJECT Item Number Checklist Question Mitigation Measure Monitoring Agency Implementation Schedule Sign-Off surveys, inspecting potential roosting habitat with fiberoptic cameras, or a combination thereof. If a non-breeding bat colony is discovered, the individuals shall be humanely evicted via two- step removal under the direction of a qualified biologist to ensure that harm or take would not occur to any bats as a result of tree removal. Two-step removal can only occur during March 1 to April 15 and September 1 to October 15 to avoid harm to maternity and overwintering colonies. If a maternity colony is detected, then a qualified biologist shall determine an appropriate size for a construction-free buffer to be established around the tree and remain in place until the qualified biologist has determined that the nursery is inactive. Tree removal shall preferably be done between March 1 and April 15 or August 15 and October 15 to avoid interfering with an active nursery. Proof of compliance with this mitigation measure shall be provided to the Town of Los Gatos Community Development Department. San Francisco Dusky-Footed Woodrat IV-7 A qualified biologist shall conduct a pre- construction survey for San Francisco dusky-footed woodrat nests between 30 and 14 days prior to the onset of construction activities. The survey shall encompass all construction zones within the woodland habitat and developed areas, and surrounding lands within 25 feet.

Identified nests shall be avoided, where possible, and buffered by a minimum of 20 feet. If avoidance is not possible, the nest(s) shall be manually deconstructed by a qualified biologist when helpless young are not present, typically during the non-breeding season (October through January). If is the qualified biologist has determined that young may be present during the nest deconstruction, a suitable buffer of a minimum of 20 feet shall be established around the nest until a qualified biologist determines that the young are independent enough to successfully move from the deconstructed nest. Approximate age of the juveniles shall be recorded when observed and appropriate time shall be extrapolated out to when they would be independent from their parents; then the deconstruction can continue after the biologist confirms that the young are not present in the nest at the time. Proof of compliance with this mitigation measure shall be provided to the Town of Los Gatos Community Development Department. American Badger IV-8 During the course of the pre-construction surveys for other species, a qualified biologist shall also determine the presence or absence of badgers prior to the start of construction.

If an active badger den is identified during pre- construction surveys within or immediately adjacent to an area subject to construction, a construction-free buffer of up to 300 feet shall be established around the den. Once a qualified biologist has determined that badger has vacated the burrow, the burrow can be collapsed or excavated, and ground disturbance can proceed. Should the burrow be determined to be a natal or reproductive den, and because badgers are known to use multiple burrows in a breeding burrow complex, a biological monitor shall be present on-site during construction activities in the vicinity of the burrows to ensure the buffer is adequate to avoid direct impacts to individuals or natal/reproductive den abandonment. The monitor shall be present until is the qualified biologist has determined that young are of an independent age and construction activities would not harm individual badgers. Additionally, all workers shall attend a “tailgate” training that includes a description of the species, a brief summary of the species’ biology, and minimization measures and instructions on what to do if American badger is observed. Proof of compliance with this mitigation measure shall be provided to the Town of Los Gatos Community Development Department.

If a lapse in project-related work of 15 calendar days or longer occurs, an additional survey shall be required prior to reinitiation. A written summary of the survey results shall be submitted to the Town of Los Gatos Community Development Department before any construction permits are issued. If burrowing owls or active burrows/refugia are not found, then further mitigation measures are not necessary. Identified burrowing owls shall be avoided and active burrowing owl burrows shall be avoided with a 250-foot non-disturbance buffer until the burrow is abandoned. The project biologist shall conduct a weekly check-in to confirm the buffer is still intact and confirm the current activity of that burrow. Proof of compliance with this mitigation measure shall be provided to the Town of Los Gatos Community Development Department.

According to the Tree Mitigation and Protection Plan prepared for the proposed project, the project would not meet the required on-site tree replacement requirement; thus, the project applicant shall pay the appropriate in-lieu fees, pursuant to the requirements of Division II of Chapter 29.10 of the Town’s Municipal Code. The above noted requirements shall be completed to the satisfaction of the Town of Los Gatos Planning Division. V. Cultural Resources V-b; V-c Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a unique archaeological resource pursuant to Section 15064.5; or disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of dedicated cemeteries? V-1 If historic, archaeological, or paleontological resources are encountered during subsurface excavation activities, all construction activities within a 100-foot radius of the resource shall cease until a qualified archaeologist determines whether the resource requires further study. The Town shall require that the applicant include a standard inadvertent discovery clause in every construction contract to inform contractors of this requirement. Any previously undiscovered resources found during construction shall be recorded on appropriate California Department of Parks and Recreation forms and evaluated for significance in terms of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) criteria by a qualified archaeologist.

If the resource is determined to be significant under CEQA, the Town and a qualified archaeologist shall determine whether preservation in place is feasible. Such preservation in place is the preferred mitigation. If such preservation is infeasible, the qualified archaeologist shall prepare and implement a research design and archaeological data recovery plan for the resource. The archaeologist shall also conduct appropriate technical analyses, prepare a comprehensive written report and file the report with the appropriate information center (California Historical Resources Information System), and provide for the permanent curation of the recovered materials. V-2 If human remains, or remains that are potentially human, are found during construction, all work shall be halted immediately within 100 feet, and a professional archeologist shall ensure reasonable protection measures are taken to protect the discovery from disturbance. The archaeologist shall notify the Santa Clara County Coroner (pursuant to Section 7050.5 of the State Health and Safety Code). The provisions of Section 7050.5 of the California Health and Safety Code, Section 5097.98 of the California Public Resources Code, and Assembly Bill (AB) 2641 will be implemented.
