ITEM 10 (701-04)
HORSE ISSUES COMMITTEE REPORT
Item introduced by City Manger Bowersox, Staff report by Director of Planning
Services Wright-Quastler. Since the Committee was appointed in September, 1993,
they have met six times and taken extensive public input regarding commercial
horse boarding facilities, They have prepared suggested revisions to the Poway
Municipal Code regarding the keeping of horses for commercial purposes. The
proposed amendments would allow the keeping of fewer than six horses "by right."
A commercial ope rat i on for si x to twenty-fi ve horses woul d requi re a Mi nor
Conditional Use Permit, A commercial operation for more than twenty-five horses
would require a full Conditional Use Permit. For both private and commercial
stables, a limit of sixteen horses per acre for lots over one acre in size would
be establ i shed. There is currently no limit on the number that can be kept. The
draft also retains a prohibition against keeping animals in side yards, Counc i 1
may wish to amend this section.
Councilmember Cafagna, who served as Chairman of the Committee, stated the City
Council had received a letter from Robert Coates alleging a violation of the
Brown Act since the Committee stated at an early meeting that they were only
charged to look at commercial stables, not private ones, The report presented
proposes a 1 imit on the number of horses per acre kept commercially and
privately. He requested any person speaking at this meeting state if they felt
shut out of the process because of this statement and the Committee will convene
again,

cri teri a be app 1 i ed; suggested the same 1 imi ts be placed on commerci a 1 and
private stables in terms of requiring a permit so that focus is on the number of
horses, not on "remuneration"; suggested a minimum of ten acres be required for
any application for a full Conditional Use Permit from a stable not presently in
existence,

issues brought up by the public, particularly the number sixteen and whether the
