SUBJECT : Initiation of Soecific Plan Amendment 84-01Y to amend
the South Poway Spec ifi c Pl an to incorporate various
cl arifi cat ions and amendments including: 1) allow
outside storage uses and heavy industrial uses on
certain lots within the LI (Light Industrial) and IP
(Industrial Park) land use designations; and 2) clarify
that land designated as OS (IDU) will be subject to the
RR-A zone standards.
BACKGROUND
On June 7, 1994, the City Council/Redevelopment Agency received and filed a
report on the South Poway Business Park analysis. As part of the discussion, the
City Council considered the issue of locating lots that might be acceptable for
ancillary outside storage or for heavy industrial users. On August 18, 1994, the
City Council held a pre-development conference for Anytime Towing, a use that
would i nvo 1 ve the outs i de storage of towed vehicles on property within the
business park. The South Poway Development Standards currently prohibits outdoor
storage uses such as building material/lumber yards, contractors yards, trash or
refuse processing or distribution.
The proposed amendment would establish outside storage uses and heavy industrial
uses by conditional use permi t (CUP) on certa in lots within the LI (Light
Industrial) and IP (Industrial Park) land use designations within the South Poway
Business Park.
On November 15, 1994, the City Council approved an amendment to the ordinance
regulating the keeping of large animals and the conditional use permit process
for small and large horse stables. One provision of the revised ordinance is
that "after 90 days from the effective date of this ordinance, no Minor
Conditional Use Permit (MCUP) nor Conditional Use Permit (CUP) shall be granted

for the keeping of 10 or more animals except in the RR-A and RR-B zones or where
an application for such a MCUP or CUP had been submitted and found to be complete
prior to 90 days from the effective date of this ordinance". The South Poway
Specific Pl an currently provides that Open Space (IDU) areas are subject to
"rural residential" development standards. The new large animal provision makes
it necessary to clarify whether it is the RR-A, RR-B or RR-C provisions that
apply.
FINDINGS
The actions outlined above, and a comprehensive review of the Specific Plan, have
led to the recommendation that amendments to the plan be considered.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The initiation of specific plan amendments is not subject to the Cal ifornia
Environmental Quality Act.
