ITEM 4 (203-25)
AFFORDABLE HOUSING OVERLAYS
92-03 AND 94-04 AMENDMENTS
Mayor Higginson opened the publ ic hearing. Item introduced by City Manager
Bowersox. There is a requirement in the judgement entered by the Superior Court
in Smith v All Persons that the City/Redevelopment Agency modify its planned
affordable housing projects to achieve an approximate 60% family, 40% senior unit
mix in the five identified projects of Haley, Breihan, Gateway, Brookview and
Bowron. Haley and Breihan are already designated as family sites. The Gateway
site is owned by retirement Housing Foundation who has indicated they will only
build senior housing on this site. That leaves Brookview and Bowron for
potential redesignation from senior to family.
Director of Planning Services Wright-Quastler reviewed the process that has been
followed to get to this point. General Plans were first required in 1969. In
1990 a requirement was added for the State's Department of Housing and Community
development to review the housing element. Non-compliance can result in the
court taking.uilding permit issuance in a jurisdiction. The City Council
elected to me'.affordable housing requirement by allowing additional density
through an af le housing overlay. The Redevelopment Advisory Committee was
given the tas ldentifying sites and adopting criteria. They held five months
of public hearings and recommended 13 sites to the City Council. Brookviewand
Bowron were both recommended and approved for senior housing.
Director of Redevelopment Services Shafer stated the Redevelopment and Housing
Advisory Committee received 2-1/2 hours of testimony on March 27, 1995 on this
subject and brings a recommendation to the City Council/Redevelopment Agency to
designate Bowron Road site for family housing and the Brookview site for senior

hous i ng wi th the poss i bi 1 ity of i ntergenerat i ona 1 hous i ng on Brookvi ew if
additional family units are needed.
City Manager Bowersox stated David Rosen, the City's consultant, is here and
available for questions.
All the speakers present were in opposition to staff recommendation. Speakers
on the Brookview site wanted either no development or senior housing, those
speaking on the Bowron Road site want senior housing.
Janet Shiba, P.O. Box 753, President of the Poway Valley Senior Citizens,
presented a 10 minute video tape of interviews with members of the Senior Center
citing their need for senior housing on the Bowron Road site.
John Stephens, 530 B Street, San Diego, attorney representing the Poway
Estates homeowners, adjacent to the Brookview site, stated designating Brookview
site for low income housing was a mistake.
Other speakers included:
Terria Cecil, 12189 Sage View

Speakers stated that the Bowron Road site had always been intended for senior
housing and because of its proximity to the Senior Center should remain that way;
that the Brookview site will be difficult to develop because it is in the
floodway and it should remain a natural site; that the AH sites are not
distributed equitably; that the Brookview site is not suitable for families
because of the danger of children being so close to Pomerado Road; and that
Bowron Road site would be appropriate for families because of its proximity to
the Community Park and its facilities.
Motion by Councilmember Callery, seconded by Mayor Higginson to close the public
hearing. Motion carried unanimously.
RECESS AND CAll TO ORDER
Mayor Higginson recessed the meeting at 10:05 p.m. and called the meeting back
to order at 10:12 p.m. with all Councilmembers present.
Counc il member Cafagna stated that the State has mandated that we wi 11 have
affordable housing and decisions were made that Brookview and Bowron and Gateway
would be for.' rs. However we were sued and the settlement of that lawsuit
mandates tha ~ of these sites will be developed. He suggested 'Bowron be
developed atximately 100 family units with 30 I-bedroom units that would
accommodate s s; that 90 family units be built on Brookview site; and that
a few more family units be added to the Breihan site. He asked Mr. Rosen about
senior units in a family project.
Mr. Rosen stated that the site can be designated family and there is no
restriction on renting to seniors. However if it is designated senior and built
to those standards, only persons 62 years or older can live there and it must
keep that designation for the life of the project. He suggested the City look
5506
JUN 1 3 1995 ITEM 10
Page 5 - CITY OF POWAY - May 16, 1995
for other sites close to the Senior Center that could be designated as senior
since the 60-40 split has to be specifically on the five sites named in the
judgment.
Councilmembers acknowledged that no one wants affordable housing however we are
required to provide it and we will be required to provide much more than these
five sites as time goes on.
Motion by Mayor Higginson, seconded by Councilmember Cafagna to receive and file
the Redevelopment and Housing Committee's report; adopt Resolution No. 95-031,
entitled, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Poway, California
Amending the Affordable Housing Overlay on Property Located at the Northeast
Corner of Bowron Road and Civic Center Drive, County Tax Assessor Parcel Number
317-473-18 and Rescinds Resolution 92-160 (AHO 92-03)," designating as very low
income family at a density up to 25 dwelling units per acre with some one-bedroom
units that could accommodate seniors; adopt Resolution No. 95-032, entitled, "A
Resolution of the City Council of the City of Poway, California Amending the
Affordable Housing Overlay on Property Located on the West side of Pomerado Road
North of Poway Road, County Tax Assessor Parcels 317-521-02, 03 and 04 (AHO 92-

PACIFIC BELL PRESENTATION RE
FIBER OPTIC NETWORK UPGRADE
Sharon Terrell, Director of Public Affairs for Pacific Bell, introduced their
staff members who were present and showed a video, "The Neighborhood"
illustrating what technology changes are projected for the future using a fiber
optic network. It can provide a video dial tone that is interactive. Pacific
Bell is a co...carrier that is required to serve every home and they are
anticipating ~rmission to supply VDT. The City of San Diego was the first
city in the . to sign an agreement for the i nsta 11 at i on of fi ber opt i c
facilities in e right-of-way and Pacific Bell is working with the cities of
Poway, Del Mar, and Solana Beach in San Diego County to be pilot projects.
Director of Community Services Thomas stated the advantage to Pacific Bell
providing a VDT network is universal access, however the City would lose cable
tv franchise fee revenue. Staff is recommending the City contract with William
Martincorena of Rutan & Tucker to assist in the development and negotiation of
a contract with Pacific Bell for the installation of fiber optic facilities in

SAN DIEGUITO RIVER PARK
PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS PROTECTION
Councilmember Callery stated that Supervisors Jacob and Horn have proposed to
delete the San Dieguito River Park's Focused Planning Area east of I-IS because
of the concern of one property owner. The Joi nt Powers Authori ty Board is
proposing a private property rights protection policy which gives up the power
of hostile condemnation. One change is being made to the version recommended by
the JPA Ad Hoc Committee on May 8, 1995 and that will prohibit acquisition of
property approval by City Manager or administrator. It must be done by the
governing body.

Private Property Rights Protection Policy, as amended. Motion carried
unanimously.

control but agrees with Councilmember Emery regarding local control.
Motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember Callery to oppose the
Mobile home R..jpntrol Restrictions Act. Motion carried 4-1 with Councilmember
