Mayor Cafagna opened the public hearing. City Manager Bowersox presented the
staff report. This is a request for approval of a 56-unit affordable apartment housing
project and the demolition and reconstruction of a new, approximately 2,200-square-
foot, office building at the southwest corner of Community Road and Hilleary Place
in the Residential Apartment (RA) and the Commercial Office (CO) zones. The
City's Redevelopment Agency owns the site and Community HousingWorks, a non-
profit housing developer, will construct the project. The housing component of the
project will assist the City in meeting the affordable housing goals contained in the
Housing Element of the General Plan. The application indudes a request to change
the land use designation and zoning on an approximate 0.2-acre portion of the site
from Commercial Office to Residential Apartment. The commercial office
component of the project also involves a Variance request to allow a minor building
projection into the required front yard setback area. A Specific Plan is proposed for
the affordable housing component and involves provisions for a residential unit
density bonus, and a package of regulatory concessions, as provided for under
Poway Municipal Code and State Law to facilitate the development of affordable
housing.
Joan Hooper, 13554 Del Marino Avenue, supports the project.

staff report. The Comprehensive Affordable Housing Strategy, the City of Poway
Housing Element and Poway Redevelopment Agency's Implementation Plan have

property located at 13422 Community Road. The property is a .45-acre parcel that
is zoned Commercial Office and contains a 2,144 one-story, owner-occupied law
office. A portion of this parcel is needed to complete the affordable housing
development proposed to be developed adjacent to the subject acquisition.
Public comment for Items 2 and 3 were combined and noted under Item 2 in the
