For the First Street Corridor (Focus Area 3), GPAC chose Concept #1, “Mixed-Use—Low” which only allows a maximum of 4 stories. But the Planning Commission voted for the higher density alternative that allows 6 stories and can be up to 7 stories with density bonuses. The GPAC did not feel that 6-7 story buildings fit the character of the area. GGS recommends that the GPAC original recommendations be upheld…
Read MoreWe are for low density around First Street as we are concerned about high rises on First Street and the lots on First Street are very narrow which limits options. For Downtown we chose to continue with downtown station plan. Northeast Gilroy- Employment center was preferred.

Read MoreStudy Session on Emergency Response Times: 4-5 minute response time is recommended for medical survival, but Gilroy’s response time is 8-10 minutes. Gilroy needs a Glen Loma fire station to accommodate current and future growth…
Read MoreThe General Plan progress should be monitored as some policies from the 20/20 General Plan have been eliminated without GPAC discussion. Lowering the levels of traffic service in the Tenth Street bridge area could lead to developers not being required to widen the bridge in the future. This would save the developer money but leave Gilroy residents with a traffic nightmare.
