Mayor opened the public hearing at 7:14 p.m.
Director of Development Services Bob Manis gave a brief overview of The Farm in Poway
project explaining that the project is subject to a Proposition FF simple majority vote approval
by the Poway voters and, therefore, explained that the applicant has opted to request the City Council to approve the project and then place it on the November ballot for voter approval as
a City Council sponsored measure.
City Planner Dave De Vries presented the report along with a slideshow presentation. Mr. De
Vries discussed the proposed site plan which includes a Specific Plan proposal for The Farm in Poway project that will guide development of five residential communities and two open
space land use zoning designations designed to include recreational, agricultural and commercial amenities. Mr. De Vries further explained that The Farm in Poway project includes
a community farm, 3.5 miles of publicly accessible bike trails, tot lot, dog park, a 4,243 square
foot event barn with a 1,000 square-foot outdoor patio, a 2,673 square-foot social cafe with a
2,200 square-foot patio for restaurants or beer or wine gardens, a 3,684 square-foot vivarium for butterfly observations, a 2,815 square-foot classroom with a 680 square foot patio for
educational activities, a 4,680 square-foot greenhouse for agricultural activities, a 1,000 square-foot office/maintenance building, and a 2,953 square-foot fitness club with a 916
square-foot patio, recreational courts, a swimming pool, fitness equipment, and exercise
classes. He added that all structures would be limited to two-story no more than 35 feet in height. In addition, he added that the project proposes traffic and street improvements and
connectivity such as widening Espola Road by three feet to accommodate bike paths,
improved signalized intersection at Martincoit Road and Espola Road, removal of overhead utilities fronting the project on Espola Road, bus stop improvements for route 945A, and
enhanced connectivity features to Chaparral Elementary School. Mr. De Vries explained that the maintenance and operation of the community would be financed through a Master Community Association (MCA) funded entirely by the project.
Mr. De Vries added that five neighborhood meetings were conducted, and some concerns expressed included traffic, noise, impacts on views from lighting and development, school
capacity, public access, maintenance of existing conditions and fire risk, property fencing,
preservation of proposed open space areas and density. He explained that potential impacts will be mitigated to a level of insignificance and that mitigation measures include intersection improvements, tree replacements, noise monitoring, in-lieu fees and event restrictions.

project that will likely result in a General Fund surplus for FY 2019-20. In addition, Mr. Beanan added that staff is recommending using $1.5 million from the General Fund Revenue Volatility
