Annual Report -Implementation of the General Plan in 2019
CITY COUNCIL
Government Code Section 65400(a)(2) requires that the plann ing agency of a local government
provide an annual report to its legislative body on the status of the General Plan and the progress
made in its implementation . The report also is to provide an update on progress made in meeting
the City's share of regional housing needs . The attached report provides a list of projects and
programs the City completed or undertook during the 2019 calendar year. The projects and programs
were dete r mined to be consistent with the goals, policies and strategies of the Poway General Plan ;
therefore, progress was made in the implementation of the General Plan .
Recommended Action:
It is recommended that the City Council receive and file this report and authorize submittal to the
State Department of Housing and Community Development, the State Office of Planning and
Research and the San Diego Association of Governments (SAN DAG).
Discussion:
Government Code Section 65400(a)(2) requires that an annual report be provided to the City Council
on the status of the implementation of the General Plan . The report must address the City's progress
in its General Plan implementation, including the progress in meeting its share of regional hous ing
needs. The Annual Report should also include a discussion of const r aints to the maintenance,
improvement and development of housing.
The intent of the required annual report is to ensure that the General Plan directs all land use
decisions and remains an effective guide for future development. Since the General Plan acts as a
long-term guide for the physical development of the City, and because a periodic update is required
to reflect current circumstances, it is important that the City annually review the General Plan and its
implementation.

The information shown in the Annual Report (Attachment A) provides a list of projects and programs
implemented by the City during the 2019 calendar year in compliance with the direction of the various
goals, policies and strategies of the Poway General Plan.
The information provided in the report is intended to assist the City Council in determining the success
of implementing the policies in the General Plan. The 2019 Annual Report addresses the goals of the
following elements of the City of Poway General Plan:
::: Community Development/Land Use Element
■ Development applications submitted included seven Development Review (DR) applications,
35 Minor Development Review Applications (MORA), five Tentative Tract Maps (TTM), including
Poway Commons, and two Tentative Parcel Maps (TPM). It should be noted that 15 of the 35
MDRAs were requests for the construction of new custom single-family homes, and two of the
five TTM applications were for requests for a one-year time extension of previously approved
TTMs where the approval was due to expire before the map would be finalized and recorded.
■ A total of nine building permits were issued in 2019 for new custom single-family residential
development; 12 building permits were issued for Accessory Dwelling Units and one Building
Permit was issued for a multi-family building (Villa de Vida). Also, a Building Permit was issued
for the foundation and podium for the Outpost mixed-use project on Poway Road.
■ Two building permits were issued for new commercial buildings in 2019 that included the
Chick-fil-A restaurant located at 13464 Poway Road and the Mickey Cafagna Community
Center at Community Park. Building permits were also issued for commercial tenant
improvement (Tl) projects for existing commercial space .
■ A total of 533,950 square feet of industrial space was added (Chart 4) in the City of Poway in
2019. Building Permits issued in 2019 for new industrial development included permits for a
new 175,637 square-foot building at 14400 Kirkham Way and a new 358,313 square-foot
building at 14500 Kirkham Way (Vantage Point). Additionally, there were multiple building
permits issued for Tl projects in the Poway Business Park, including several for General
Atomics.
■ The Poway Commons project was approved in December 2019. This is a mixed-use
development consisting of 141 multi-family residential units (including 44 senior affordable
units) and 584 square feet of commercial space (with the potential for 25,000 square feet in
the future). The project includes street improvements along the property frontage on the
north and south sides of Poway Road and along Tarascan Drive and Civic Center Drive within
the Poway Road Specific Plan (PRSP) area . The project will also include passive park
improvements of a City-owned property on the southeast corner of Poway Road and Civic
Center Drive for a public plaza/gathering area.
■ In December 2019, the City Council adopted an ordinance that updated the Poway Municipal
Code to incorporate the 2019 Edition of the California Building Standards Code, including the
California Fire Code, and to incorporate local amendments which address the City's specific
needs based upon our zoning regulations and unique climate, topography, and geology.
2 of 41 March 17, 2020, Item #3
:•:: Housing Element
■ In December 2019, the Poway City Council approved an amendment to the City's Zoning
Ordinance (Ordinance No. 837) which revised accessory dwelling unit (ADU) regulations to be
consistent with new State regulations. The State Legislature has determined ADUs to be a
common-sense, cost-effective approach to accommodate future growth and to encourage
infill development in developed neighborhoods. An ADU is an attached or detached dwelling
unit on the same lot as a single or multi-family dwelling which provides complete independent
living facilities. The City's previous ADU Ordinance was not consistent with revised State ADU
regulations that became effective on January 1, 2020. If the City's ADU Ordinance was not
amended, it would have been null and void and the State's regulations would have applied.
State law allows local agencies to adopt less restrictive objective standards related to ADUs
including, but not limited to, parking, height, setbacks, landscape, architectural review,
maximum size of a unit and standards that prevent adverse impacts to designated historic
structures.
■ In 2019, SANDAG released the draft housing unit allocation for jurisdictions in San Diego
County to meet the Regional Housing Needs Assessment for the Housing Element Cycle for
2021-2029. The allocations are distributed among the four income categories -very low, low,
moderate, and above moderate. For the next Housing Element Cycle, SAN DAG has allocated
a total of 1,319 housing units for Poway distributed in the four income categories as shown
below:
■
■
Very Low: 468
Low: 268
Moderate: 241
Above Moderate: 342
The allocation of their respective units is being appealed by the City of Coronado, Imperial
Beach, Lemon Grove, and Solana Beach.
The Planning Division will be updating the City's Housing Element in 2021 for the upcoming
cycle for 2021-2029 with public outreach in 2020.
In 2019, the City closed escrow and finalized documents for Villa de Vida, a 54-unit affordable
housing development for adults with developmental disabilities. Building permits were issued
in April and construction began shortly thereafter.
~-l Transportation Element
■ The Espola Road Pedestrian Improvements Project consists of a multi-purpose decomposed
granite pathway on the west side of Espola Road from Mountain Road to Willow Ranch Road,
the undergrounding of existing utilities, and other improvements such as lighting and
fencing. On October 21, 2014, the City Council approved a consultant agreement for
preparation of final design of the improvements. The original project scope included the
undergrounding of approximately 2,000 linear feet of existing overhead utility lines at the
southern end of the project. In early 2016, the City Council directed staff to expand the
undergrounding to also include the northern portion of the project. The design of the
improvements and undergrounding was completed in 2017. All necessary construction
easements and right-of-way were acquired in 2017. Construction began in April 2018 and has
3 of 41 March 17, 2020, Item #3
continued with undergrounding activities beginning in April 2019 and is ongoing.
■ As part of the street maintenance program in 2019, approximately 20 miles of roadway were
slurry sealed and various street overlays were performed totaling just over three miles in
length.
■ Design commenced on the Light Emitting Diode (LED) Street and Safety Lighting Conversion
project in 2018 and the Traffic Signal Controller Upgrades Project in 2019. The LED project will
replace all existing street and safety light fixtures in the public right-of-way, except decorative
lighting, with LED lights. The new lighting will be more energy efficient while preserving dark
skies . The design was completed at the end of 2019 with installations set to begin in early
2020.
■ The Traffic Signal Controller Upgrades project will replace cabinets, controllers, wiring and
miscellaneous equipment necessary to maintain uninterrupted operation of three signals
located on Twin Peaks Road . Construction began in 2018 on the Traffic Signal Controller
Upgrades project and was completed in Spring 2019.
■ Design began in 2019 on the Neighborhood Sidewalks project which includes installation of
approximately 1,500 feet of new sidewalk on neighborhood streets in the Powers Road and
Garden Road areas. The new sidewalk provides connectivity between existing sidewalks and
will provide a safer path of travel to several schools .
:~ Public Facilities Element
■ The City of Poway operates cultural, historical, and outdoor recreation facilities enjoyed by
residents and visitors from all over the region. Poway is home to 18 parks, 21 sports fields, a
swim center, a skate park, joint-use school facilities, the Poway Center for the Performing Arts,
the Blue Sky Ecological Reserve and the Poway branch of the San Diego County Library.
■ In 2019, the construction bid was awarded, and the design was completed for the replacement
community center at Community Park. The new facility, called the Mickey Cafagna Community
Center, will be a multi-generational and multi-purpose facility to serve the Poway community.
Construction activities at the community center site began in December 2019 and included
initial utility relocations to accommodate demolition of the existing structures. Demolition is
anticipated to be completed in early 2020 followed by new building construction through the
remainder of the year. To make way for this project, City programming was moved from
Community Park facilities to other City and school district locations, and the nonprofit Poway
Senior Center Corporation moved their operations to a temporary location with City support.
■ In 2019, the Community Services and Development Services Departments worked together to
provide disabled access to the Lake Poway fishing float during months of the year when the
water level is high.
■ In 2019, pavers were installed in a dirt area adjacent to indoor rental facilities at Old Poway
Park to provide additional options and expanded use for special events, weddings and other
public rentals.
■ In 2019, volunteers and staff used authentic materials harvested from the Kumeyaay-lpai
Interpretive Center site to rethatch a replica e'waa, a traditional Kumeyaay Indian shelter.
4 of 41 March 17, 2020, Item #3
~-l Resources Element
■ Development projects that impact habitat land are required to mitigate the impacts in
accordance with Poway Subarea Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). Mitigation is achieved
through either dedication of Biological Conservation Easements (BCE) of similar quality and
quantity habitat located within the HCP Mitigation Area or through payment of a Habitat
Mitigation In-Lieu Fee. The purpose of the In-Lieu Fee is to provide the City a funding source
to use in acquisition of habitat land within the Mitigation Area for preservation and dedication.
In 2019, $14,358 in In-Lieu fees were collected and $135,657.47 were expended to purchase
properties for habitat preservation . Since the approval of the HCP, the City has collected over
$2 million in In-Lieu fees and has spent approximately $1.2 million of the funds for the
purchase of native habitat land.
■ In 2019, $130,785.25 in In-Lieu Fee funds were expended as the City's contribution to purchase
four properties totaling 162.31 acres located within the HCP Mitigation Area in the Van Dam
Peak area (Assessor Parcel Numbers (APN) 316-020-04, 316-020-05, 316-020-20, and 316-020-
21) where the City owns other habitat conservation properties and open space. Grants from
Wildlife Conservation Board ($1,000,000) and Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation
Program ($500,000) paid for the balance of the purchase price.
■ In 2019, a 46.43-acre parcel (APN 317-280-12) was purchased for open · space east of
Community Road on the north slope of the business park. The parcel was offered to the City
by the County of San Diego as a tax-default property. The City paid $4,872.22 from the Habitat
In-Lieu Fee Fund. The property will be preserved as open space.
■ In June 2019, a Certificate of Acceptance was signed for a parcel (APN 272-132-04) that was
quitclaimed to the City from the Vista Irrigation District. The 0.43-acre property will be
preserved as open space and is located adjacent to other City-owned open space.
■ In 2019, 2.79 acres of open space habitat land was preserved in the form of dedicated
Biological Conservation or Open Space Easements. Additionally, in December 2019, the City
Council approved an ordinance that re-designated the General Plan designation and zoning
designation of 52 parcels, or portions of parcels, to Open Space-Resource Management (OS-
RM) to ensure the preservation of the land as open space in its natural condition and in
perpetuity. The parcels or portions of the parcels range in size from 0.22 acres to 38.67 acres
with over 160 combined acres. These properties were dedicated by property
owners/developers as biological mitigation land over which a BCE has been recorded or
purchased by the City for the preservation of prominent ridgelines, or undeveloped land
intended for open space purposes.
The City of Poway has many ongoing programs and maintenance projects that contribute to the
implementation of General Plan policies. A brief overall description of these ongoing programs and
maintenance projects are discussed in the report along with the specific projects that implement the
goals and policies of each element.
Pursuant to State law, the 2019 Annual Report will be sent to the State Department of Housing and
Community Development (HCD) and the State Office of Planning and Research (OPR). The Annual
Report is also sent to the San Diego Association of Governments (SAN DAG).

City of Poway Annual Report on Implementation of the General Plan in 2019
March 17, 2020, Item #3
INTRODUCTION
The California Government Code (Section 65400(a)(2)) requires the preparation of an annual
report to advise the City Council of progress made toward accomplishing the goals of the Poway
General Plan . This report covers the time period from January 1, 2019 to December 31 , 2019,
and prov ides information on the following :
A. The status of the General Plan and the City's progress in its implementation;
B. The City 's progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs , and the City's
efforts to remove governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement and
development of housing for all income levels , as well as for special housing needs;
and
State law also requires that a copy of the Annual Report be provided to the California Department
of Housing and Community Development (HCD), and the Governor's Office of Planning and
Research (OPR) before April 1st of each year. The San Diego Association of Governments
(SANDAG) also requests a copy.
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE GENERAL PLAN
Section 65302 of the California Government Code mandates that a general plan contain at least
seven elements : 1) Land Use Element; 2) Circulation Element; 3) Housing Element -which must
be updated every eight years; 4) Conservation Element ; 5) Open Space Element; 6) Noise
Element; and 7) Safety Element. The City of Poway General Plan contains all of the required
seven elements , although the names of some of the elements are different. The Poway General
Plan is divided into six master elements: Community Development, Public Facilities ,
Transportation , Resources , Public Safety , and Housing. Some of these master elements are
further divided i nto elements : Community Development includes Land Use , Community Design
and Energy Conservation ; Transportation includes Roadways, Public Transit, Bikeways , and
Pedestrian Facilities ; Resources includes Natural Resources and Prehistoric and Historic
Resources ; and Public Safety includes Emergency Services and Hazard Management.
The purpose of the General Plan is to provide for the long-term planning of Poway's physical
development through the establishment of general guidelines for decision making concerning land
use, recreation, cultural , circulation, natural resource conservation/open-space , noise, safety, and
housing goals and policies . While the General Plan is a policy document, it also provides
background information and analysis relative to the policies that it contains .
The Poway General Plan was prepared as a comprehensive , internally consistent document that
promotes sustainable development, and maintains the flexibility to provide the long-term
perspective and direction to guide the community into the future.
The City of Poway Comprehensive Plan was originally adopted 37 years ago in 1983, and
included the General Plan, the Zoning Development Code and an Environmental Analysis
Section . In 1991 and 1996, the General Plan underwent major review and updates. The
Environmental Analysis section was replaced with a Master Environmental Assessment (MEA).
The Housing Element was updated and certified by HCD in 2013 to cover the 2013-2020 planning
cycle. A comprehensive amendment to the Transportation Element was adopted by the City
Council in 2010. City staff will continue to comprehensively review the elements of the General
Plan and complete any necessary revisions incorporating past amendments . Updates are
planned to the Housing and Safety Elements in 2021 with public outreach in 2020.

Over the past 36 years, some notable accomplishments have been achieved in the City through
implementation of the goals and policies of the General Plan. Key accomplishments include the
following:
■
■
■
■
The appearance of Poway Road is beginning to see improvements as a result of
the adoption of the Poway Road Specific Plan (PRSP), which guides new
development and redevelopment along Poway Road. In 2017, the PRSP was
adopted in an effort to revitalize Poway Road. The adoption resulted in changes
to the allowed land uses and the development standards. A key component of the
Specific Plan encourages concentrated mixed-use development consisting of
commercial uses, residential uses and public spaces in the Town Center area.
The City's economic base and employment opportunities (over 400 companies/
17,000 jobs) have expanded because of the 700-acre South Poway Business
Park .
The equestrian/pedestrian trails system in the City of Poway has expanded from
three miles to approximately 56 miles .
Since 1983, the City (Poway's former Redevelopment Agency and the Poway
Housing Authority) has participated in the development or rehabilitation of 795
affordable living units in the community.
State-wide and Regional Issues
Oversight of the former Poway Redevelopment Agency
In April 2017, the City of Poway initiated a Request for Qualifications/Proposals (RFQ/P) process
to identify a developer to acquire and develop City and Poway Housing Authority (Authority)
owned properties within the Town Center area of the Poway Road Specific Plan. The RFQ/P
process identified the development team of Meridian Development, LLC and Sudberry Properties,
Inc. (collectively "Developers") as having the most qualified proposal. In December 2017 , the City
and the Authority entered into an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (ENA) with the Developers.
The ENA allowed the City, Authority and Developers to negotiate a Purchase, Sale, and
Development Agreement (PSDA) for 98 for-sale , market-rate multi-family units, 44 affordable
senior apartments and approximately 25,000 square feet of commercial development. In 2018,
the City acquired four parcels (APNs 317-472-18, 317-472-23, 317-472-24 and 317-472-25) on
the south side of Poway Road to facilitate the mixed-use development consistent with the vision
of the Poway Road Corridor Specific Plan. Staff continued negotiations with the developer
throughout 2018 and the PSDA was approved by the City Council on March 19, 2019.
Entitlements for the residential portion of the project was approved by the City Council on
December 17, 2019 with construction expected to commence on the project in 2020.
Regional Issues
While Poway's policies, plans and programs seek to maintain a high quality of life for its residents
and businesses, the City does not exist unto itself. Poway actively participates in regional policies
and plans established for the benefit of the San Diego County region. The San Diego Association
of Governments (SANDAG) is a key regional public agency that serves as the forum for regional
decision making, building consensus, making strategic plans, obtaining and allocating resources,
and providing information on a broad range of topics relevant to the region's quality of life. Poway
participates in the following SANDAG planning processes and programs:

~-~ In December 2019, the City Council adopted an ordinance that updated the PMC to
incorporate the 2019 Edition of the California Building Standards Code, including the
California Fire Code, and to incorporate local amendments which address the City's
specific needs based upon our zoning regulations and unique climate, topography,
and geology.
Housing Element
It is the goal of the City of Poway to provide adequate and appropriate housing opportunities to
meet the needs of current and future residents .
With the adoption of the City's Housing Element Update in 2013, City staff continues to work on
several Program Implementation tasks of the Housing Element including:

In December 2019, the Poway City Council approved an amendment to the City's
Zoning Ordinance (Ordinance No. 837) which revised accessory dwelling unit (ADU)
regulations to be consistent with new State regulations. The State Legislature has
determined ADUs to be a common-sense, cost-effective approach to accommodate

previous ADU Ordinance was not consistent with revised State ADU regulations that
became effective on January 1, 2020. If the City's ADU Ordinance was not amended,
it would have been null, and void and the State's regulations would have applied. State
law allows local agencies to adopt less restrictive objective standards related to ADUs
including, but not limited to, parking, height, setbacks, landscape, architectural review,
maximum size of a unit and standards that prevent adverse impacts to designated
historic structures.

PublicSafetyElement
It is the goal of the City of Poway to provide a safe and healthy environment for the residents of
Poway.
Law Enforcement Services
:-: In 2019, the Sheriff's Department Poway Traffic unit conducted multiple operations in
the City of Poway including DUI saturation details, DUI checkpoints, distracted driver
patrols, seatbelt enforcement and motorcycle officer enforcement within the City of
Poway . The goals of these types of operations are to educate the public, reduce traffic
collisions and most importantly make our roadways safer. The Poway Traffic unit
issued a total of 4,128 citations throughout the City, conducted 4,796 Deputy initiated
contacts and responded to 2,264 calls for service . The Traffic Unit also partnered with
The North Inland Community Prevention Program and participated in the annual
"Drugged Driving" Rally held to educate students and community members on the
dangers of drugged driving. Additionally, over 1,200 students and their parents
attended nine Start Smart classes taught by sheriff's deputies. Smart Start classes
bring awareness to teen distracted driving, improve teen driving safety and reduce
alcohol use and abuse.
~= In 2019, the Poway Sheriff's Station partnered with the County of San Diego Health
and Human Services Agency (HHSA) in an effort to reach the homeless population in
the City of Poway. Deputies received training and education on services available to
our homeless community members. Deputies now offer services to this group during
law enforcement contacts . In addition, the Poway Sheriff Station is working in
conjunction with the San Diego City Attorney on many fronts . This is to include
prosecution of trespassing and illegal squatting arrests in cases where individuals
have refused services . The San Diego City Attorney's Office has also assisted Poway
deputies with the creation of a chronic intoxicant list. Due to the resource burden and
potential risk to the local Poway community and law enforcement, the San Diego City
Attorney is prosecuting those who deputies arrest repeatedly for public inebriation as
chronic offenders. The Sheriff's Department offers services for those in custody and
the hope is some of the chronic inebriates take advantage of those services while
incarcerated.
~-l In 2019, the Sheriff's Department continued efforts to reduce youth access to drugs
and alcohol through education, prevention and enforcement. As part of an overall
Page 12 City of Poway Annual Report on Implementation of the General Plan in 2019
·1s of 41 March 17, 2020, Item #3
campus safety program, the Poway Sheriffs Station partnered with Poway High
School and conducted armed intruder response training. This training is aimed at
making students and staff aware of options in case of an armed incursion. Deputies
aided with other schools in Poway to include lockdown drills . The Poway juvenile
detective offers a diversion program for juvenile offenders to educate juveniles rather
than have them placed into the juvenile justice system. This program provides
juveniles the opportunity to prevent having a criminal record or OMV court record. The
program successfully diverted three felonies cases, 16 misdemeanor cases, and 34
traffic citations in 2019.
~-~ In 2019, the Sheriffs Department was responsible for investigating and solving several
significant County-wide high-profile property crimes. In one prolific case, the Poway
Detective Unit took the lead on this multi-agency, County-wide investigation. The Unit
identified numerous suspects, wrote and executed multiple search warrants, and
arrested suspects. The District Attorney assigned a special prosecutor because of the
size and scope of these cases. The defendants in this case, if convicted, face lengthy
jail sentences.
:-: In 2019, the Sheriff's Department continued to employ crime prevention, reduction and
disruption strategies to reduce crime within the community of Poway. As a result of
the intelligent led policing strategies, crimes against property combined with crimes
against persons decreased 5.2 percent from 2018 to 2019. Crimes against property

first responders staffing three paramedic engines, two paramedic ambulances, one
paramedic ladder truck, one incident command vehicle and one Duty Chief.
~-~ In 2019, the Fire Department responded to over 4,700 calls for service including
requests for mutual aid support through the State's Fire & Rescue Mutual Aid System.
!•~ In 2019, the Fire Department continued to deliver manipulative skill learning and
training activities that promote the professional development of its personnel
resources and improve team response capabilities. Personnel recorded 13,889 hours
of team training and professional development.
:-: In 2019, the Fire Department continued its management of the City's Emergency
Operations Plan (EOP) and Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The Department
continues to foster community volunteerism and strengthen regional partnerships to
enhance response to large-scale emergencies and disasters. In 2019, 25 community
members graduated from the Department's Community Emergency Response Team
(CERT) Academy. During the last year, over 100 registered CERT members logged
over 1,300 hours of volunteer service and participated in 24 training/community
events. The volunteer Ham Radio operators participated in five exercise drills. During
a "Boil Water" advisory, 125 volunteers (including 50 Red Cross volunteers) supported
six days of bottled water distribution, totaling 1821 volunteer hours .

[•: In 2019, the Fire Department completed 1,975 Fire and Life Safety inspections of
Poway businesses, institutions and apartment complexes.
~l In 2019, the Fire Department implemented a new incident reporting system using
cloud-based software and wireless mobile devices. The iPads first responders use to
electronically complete EMS patient care reports and annual fire and life safety
inspections of businesses were also used to complete an incident report for every
incident responded to by the department.
Hazardous Waste Management
[•: The City has a regional, permanent Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection
Facility where residents can recycle used oil, electronic waste and dispose of HHW
such as household chemicals, sharps and batteries. It is open every Saturday, 9 a.m.
to 3 p.m., except holiday weekends. The City's Household Hazardous Waste
Collection Facility collected over 217,680 pounds of HHW in a year from over 5,180
visits to the site from City of Poway residents . The City spent $248,065 for HHW
disposal for its residents in 2019 . There are also 12 registered Used Oil Recycling
Program collection centers in the City, and they collected an additional 11,582 gallons
of used motor oil and 1,775 oil filters during the 2018-19 reporting year.
Resources Element
It is the goal of the City of Poway to preserve its natural, scenic and cultural resources for the
future benefit and enjoyment of its residents, and to protect biological and ecological diversity.
The City of Poway has many natural resources, including creeks, canyons, grassland areas,
and mountains, which historically have been protected. The original General Plan adopted in
1983, included a significant Plant and Animal Resource Conservation Element. Goals,
policies and strategies were established in subsequent updates to the General Plan (1991
and 1996) which emphasized preservation of open space, biological resources and the rural
character of the "City in the Country" as primary objectives . Implementation policies and
strategies promoted development of a City-wide system of reserves and wildlife corridors
which provided the foundation for the Poway Subarea Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) which
was approved in 1996. A key objective of the HCP is to create sustainable, interconnected
habitat preserves for the purpose of maintaining viable populations of biological resources.
Implementation of the HCP ensures balance between development and conservation in the
City, while meeting the mitigation requirements for building private and public development
projects.
Development projects that impact habitat land are required to mitigate the impacts in
accordance with HCP mitigation requirements. Mitigation is achieved through either
dedication of Biological Conservation Easements (BCE) of comparable quality and quantity
habitat located within the HCP Mitigation Area or payment of a Habitat Mitigation In-Lieu Fee .
The In-Lieu Fee provides an efficient and viable option for biological resource impact
mitigation and serves as mitigation compensation for direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts,
where the direct purchase of habitat lands by a project proponent or on-site preservation are
determined by the City to be infeasible. Per the HCP, the In-Lieu Fee is to be assessed in
accordance with a fee schedule adopted by the City Council. Currently, the fee is $17,000
per acre . The purpose of the In-Lieu Fee is to provide the City the ability to acquire land within
the Mitigation Area for preservation and dedication.
Page 14

City of Poway Annual Report on Implementation of the General Plan in 2019
March 17, 2020, Item #3
The City has acquired property over the years to meet the preservation goals of the HCP
through the dedication and purchase of biologically sensitive land in the City. Several hundred
acres were purchased in the early 2000's with Sensitive Land funds that preserved portions
of important City landmarks such as Twin Peaks Mountain and Van Dam Peak . These parcels
contain native vegetation that have been preserved by the City in their natural state, and count
toward meeting the City's HCP habitat preservation goals. Presently, the City has
approximately $937,000 in In-Lieu fees available for purchase of habitat land for preservation.
In 2019, $14,358 in In-Lieu fees were collected and $135,657.47 were expended to purchase
properties for habitat preservation which is detailed below. Since the approval of the HCP,
the City has collected over $2 million in In-Lieu fees and has spent approximately $1.2 million
of the funds for the purchase of native habitat land . On occasion, the City has refunded In-
lieu fees at the request of a developer after they have dedicated biological open space in the
City to replace In-Lieu fees they paid .
In 2014, the City approved the Habitat Acquisition Strategy, an implementation plan to use in
acquiring properties for habitat preservation using funds from the City's Habitat In-Lieu Fee
account. The Strategy includes a detailed list of potential parcels to target for acquisition and
provides a thorough analysis of the priority areas as defined in the HCP . Since the 1997
adoption of the HCP, the City has purchased approximately 7 40.26 acres of habitat land (See
Table 1 ). Staff uses the Habitat Acquisition Strategy to identify properties to be purchased
based on available funding . The City Council reviews all proposed land purchases prior to
staff pursuing acquisition. Each year pursuant to the requirements of the HCP Implementation
Agreement, the City prepares and submits an annual report to the Wildlife agencies reporting
on programs, policies, and projects that were undertaken in the previous year that resulted in
implementation of the HCP.
In 2019, $130,785 .25 in In-Lieu Fee funds were expended to purchase four properties totaling
162.31 acres , located within the HCP Mitigation Area in the Van Dam Peak area (Assessor
Parcel Numbers (APN) 316-020-04, 316-020-05, 316-020-20, and 316-020-21), where the
City owns other habitat conservation properties and open space. Two grants in the amount
of $1,500,000 were used for the balance of the purchase price. A 46.43-acre parcel (APN
317-280-12) was also purchased for open space east of Community Road on the north slope
of the business park . The parcel was offered to the City by the County of San Diego as a tax-
default property . The City paid $4,872.22 from the Habitat In-Lieu Fee Fund . This property
will also be preserved as open space (Table 1 ).

open space.
In 2019, 2.79 acres of open space habitat land was preserved in the form of dedicated
Biological Conservation or Open Space Easements. Additionally, in December 2019, the City
Council approved an ordinance that re-designated the General Plan designation and zoning
designation of 52 parcels, or portions of parcels, to Open Space-Resource Management (OS-
RM) to ensure the preservation of the land as open space in its natural condition and in
perpetuity. The parcels or portions of the parcels range size from 0.22 acres to 38.67 acres
with over 160 combined acres . These properties were dedicated by a property
owner/developer as biological mitigation land over which a BCE has been recorded or
purchased by the City for the preservation of prominent ridgelines, or undeveloped land
intended for open space purposes.

City of Poway Annual Report on Implementation of the General Plan in 2019
March 17, 2020, Item #3
Notable New Private Development Projects Approved in
2019(Building Permits Not Yet Issued)
t·l The Poway Commons project was approved in December 2019 and is a mixed-use
development consisting of 141 multi-family residential units (includes 44 senior
affordable units) and 584 square feet of commercial space. The project includes
street improvements along the property frontages on the north and south sides of
Poway Road and along Tarascan Drive and Civic Center Drive within the Poway Road
Specific Plan (PRSP) area . The project will also include park improvements of a City-
owned property on the southeast corner of Poway Road and Civic Center Drive for a
public plaza/gathering area.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
Capital improvements, such as roads, drainage facilities, sewer and water lines, treatment plants,
infrastructure, and public facility improvements are the framework that supports development.
Their availability plays an important part in determining the pattern of land uses within the
community, as well as the direction and intensity of growth. Public facilities, such as police and
fire stations, libraries and parks, are important to residents' safety and quality of life. Equally
important are the improvements to roads, water lines and reservoirs, sewer lines and drainage
systems and other infrastructure systems that implement the goals and policies of the General
Plan. The ability to provide these facilities is important to the well-being of the community. Below
is a list of the City's Capital Improvement projects staff worked on and/or completed in 2019 .
