A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF POWAY, CALIFORNIA
DECLARING THE PROPERTY AT 12818 GOLDEN WAY A PUBLIC NUISANCE,
ORDERING THE INSTALLATION OF ADEQUATE EROSION CONTROL DEVICES
ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NUMBER 323-280-24-00
WHEREAS, Officials of the City of Poway have inspected and found that, due to
illegal grading activity on the subject property, there is a lack of adequate erosion control
devices at 12818 Golden Way, Poway, California, that would prevent soil and sediment
from entering into the ephemeral stream leading to Poway Creek; and
WHEREAS, Section 13.09.180.A.4 of the Poway Municipal Code states that the lack
of adequate erosion control devices is in violation of the City's Storm Water Management
and Discharge Control Ordinance and is deemed a threat to public health, safety and
welfare; and constitutes a public nuisance, and if actions ordered under Subsection
13.09.180(A) (3) are not performed, the authorized enforcement official may abate any
public nuisance pursuant to the Poway Municipal Code, Chapter 8.72; and
WHEREAS, the City Council conducted a Public Hearing on this matter on
November 18, 2003, at which time the owners of the property were given the opportunity to
appear and present evidence why the City Council should not find the violation existing on
the subject property constitutes a public nuisance and why abatement should not be
required following due promulgation of notices as required by law.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Poway as
follows:
Section 1: The City Council finds that the violation identified above constitutes a
threat to public health, safety and welfare.
Section 2: The City Council elects to proceed pursuant to the California
Government Code Section 38773, and the Poway Municipal Code Chapter 8.72, to declare
a public nuisance, and to abate the above-described conditions on the property.
Section 3: The City Council declares that the identified violations render the
property a threat to the public health, safety and welfare, and therefore constitute a public
nuisance.
Section 4: The property owners are ordered to cover all exposed soils with
adequate erosion control measures to prevent soils and sediments from entering into the
ephemeral stream leading to Poway Creek. The City will abate the nuisance at the
expense of the property owner and may secure payment of such expenses from the
property owner by assessment and lien upon the property.
