City of Poway -Minutes -December 1, 2020
Associate Planner Scott Nespor presented the report along with a PowerPoint presentation.
Mr. Nespor discussed the proposed modifications to the project since the most recent Pre-
Development Conference presented to the City Council on September 15, 2020 and
neighborhood meeting held on November 5, 2020. Mr. Nespor explained that per City Council
and public feedback, the project has been modified to reduce the number of residential
condominium units from 220 to 212, increase the commercial space to a total of 11,364 square
feet, and increase the quasi-public open space to 9,955 square feet. Mr. Nespor explained
that as a result of the decrease in residential units and planned reconfiguration of the Big 'O'
Tire Center, there is a surplus of three parking spaces. Additionally, he added that three
community benefits are required to allow the height and density of the proposed project. He
stated that, as part of the community benefits, the applicant is proposing to permanently
reserve two spaces for restaurants, incorporate a total of 9,955 square feet of quasi-public
space, and contribute $500 per dwelling unit to the Community Benefits Fund. He further
explained that the applicant will add an additional traffic signal, new pedestrian crosswalk and
various streetscape improvements such as new sidewalks, street trees, a bus stop shelter,
new median landscaping, and bike lanes. Mr. Nespor concluded that the project complies with
the requirements, development standards and guidelines of the Poway Road Specific Plan
and that the project is fully covered by the previously certified Environmental Impact Report
and no further environmental review is necessary.
