Attachment 4 - Exhibit A5.0
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
5.1 INTRODUCTION
CEQA Guidelines section 15097 requires public agencies to adopt reporting or monitoring
programs when they approve projects subject to an environmental impact report or a
negative declaration that includes mitigation measures to avoid significant adverse
environmental effects. The reporting or monitoring program is to be designed to ensure
compliance with conditions of project approval during project implementation in order to
avoid significant adverse environmental effects.
In addition, monitoring ensures that mitigation measures are implemented and thereby
provides a mechanism to evaluate the effectiveness of the mitigation measures.
A definitive set of project conditions would include enough detailed information and
enforcement procedures to ensure the measure's compliance. This monitoring program is
designed to provide a mechanism to ensure that mitigation measures and subsequent
conditions of project approval are implemented.
5.2 MONITORING PROGRAM
The basis for this monitoring program is the mitigation measures included in the project EIR.
These mitigation measures are designed to eliminate or reduce significant adverse
environmental effects to less than significant levels. These mitigation measures become
conditions of project approval, which the project proponent is required to complete during
and after implementation of the proposed project.
The attached monitoring program is proposed for monitoring the implementation of the
mitigation measures. This monitoring program contains all appropriate mitigation measures
in the EIR.
5.3 MONITORING PROGRAM PROC EDURES
The Town of Los Gatos Community Development Department is responsible for
coordination of the monitoring program. The Community Development Department is
responsible for completing the monitoring program and distributing the monitoring
program to the responsible individuals or agencies for their use in monitoring the mitigation
measures.
