NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of
Poway, as follows:
Section 1: The City Council has considered the Environmental Initial Study (EIS),
Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), and associated Mitigation Monitoring Program
shown as Exhibit A of this Resolution for CUP 86 -04(M) and DR 02 -05. The subject EIS
and MND documentation are fully incorporated herein by this reference. The City
Resolution No. P -04 -24
Page 2
Council finds, on the basis of the whole record before it, that there is no substantial
evidence the project will have a significant impact on the environment, that the
mitigation measures contained in the EIS and Exhibit A hereof will mitigate potentially
significant impacts to a less than significant level, and that the MND reflects the
independent judgment and analysis of the City. The City Council hereby approves the
MND and the associated Mitigation Monitoring Program attached to this Resolution as
Exhibit A.
Section 2: Pursuant to the City of Poway Subarea Habitat Conservation Plan
( PSHCP), a project specific biological report prepared by Vincent N. Scheidt, dated May
14, 2002, was submitted for the property. According to the report, project grading will
impact approximately 0.06 acres of Disturbed Wetland, located on property outside of
the Mitigation Areas of the Poway HCP. In accordance with the Poway HCP, the
required findings for approval of the proposed mitigation for the removal of Disturbed
Wetland Habitat for Conditional Use Permit 86 -04(M) and Development Review 02 -05
are as follows:
A. The proposed project is outside of the Mitigation Area of the Poway HCP. The
mitigation is consistent with and furthers the implementing objectives of the
Poway HCP in that the applicant will mitigate impacts to 0.06 acres of disturbed
wetlands habitat at a minimum of 1:1 ratio consistent with the "no net loss" policy
for wetland habitats of the City and the resource agencies. Said mitigation will be
through the creation of comparable habitat of equal or greater conservation
through restoration, enhancement or creation of wetland habitat and the
recordation of a Biological Conservation Easement Deed preserving value
located within the HCP Mitigation Area or other location subject to approval by
the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) and the City of Poway. The
applicant must also obtain a 1603 Permit from the CDFG and a 401 Permit from
the Regional Water Quality Control Board prior to the removal of any wetland
habitat.
B. Preservation of such disturbed wetlands habitat at a location approved by the
CDFG and the Director of Development Services is consistent with the mitigation
requirements of the HCP. Therefore, such habitat preservation will serve to
enhance the long -term viability and function of the preserve system.
C. The mitigation will be to the long -term benefit of the PSHCP Covers Species and
their habitats in that the mitigation will provide biological habitat preserved
through off -site mitigation that the recordation of a Biological Conservation
Easement Deed (See "A" above) will be to the long -term benefit of the PSHC, will
promote a meaningful addition to the assembly of a viable regional system of
uninterrupted natural habitat resources, habitat linkages, buffers, and wildlife
corridor.
Resolution No. P -04 -24
Page 3
D. The mitigation will foster the incremental implementation of the PSHCP in an
effective and efficient manner in that the mitigation area will be set aside by the
project proponent as a project mitigation measure and as a condition of project
approval in accordance with the PSHCP.
E. The wetland habitat will not result in a negative fiscal impact with regard to the
successful implementation of the PSHCP as the subject mitigation lands will be
dedicated to the City of Poway in fee title and /or placed within a permanent
public Biological Conservation Easement Deed.
Section 3: The findings, in accordance with Sections 17.48.010 and 17.48.070 of the
Poway Municipal Code, for the modification to Conditional Use Permit 86 -04 to add
23,022 square feet to the existing 17,557- square -foot religious facility at 15905
Pomerado Road within the Residential Single - Family 4 (RS-4) zone and to expand the
preschool student enrollment from 35 to 75, are made as follows:
A. The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed religious
facility and preschool expansion is in accord with the title and purpose of Chapter
17.48 of the Poway Municipal Code (Conditional Use Permit Regulations), the
RS -4 zone, the City General Plan, and the development policies and standards
of the City in that religious facilities are allowed with a Conditional Use Permit
and no Variances are requested.
B. The location, size, design, and operation characteristics of the proposed religious
facility and preschool expansion will be compatible with and will not adversely
affect or be materially detrimental to adjacent uses, residents, buildings,
structures, or natural resources in that the buildings of the facility will observe a
minimum 50 -foot setback from adjacent residential development. The revised
driveway has been designed and sited such that it will provide adequate queuing
spaces without affecting circulation of the parking lot or Pomerado Road. The
removal of disturbed wetland habitat will be mitigated at no less than 1:1 ratio
consistent with the PSHCP. Conditions of approval have been incorporated to
curtail noise in connection with parties held at the religious facility. To ensure
separation from the adjacent residential neighborhood to the north and east, a
solid block wall and landscaping will be provided along the northern and eastern
property lines to provide a buffer between the Temple and the adjacent
residential neighborhood. In addition, the use will be required to comply with
performance standards to ensure that the adjacent residences will not be
impacted by noise, light and glare.
C. The proposed religious facility and preschool expansion will meet or exceed
standards for scale, coverage and density. Therefore, the harmony in scale,
bulk, coverage and density of the project is consistent with adjacent uses.
D. There are public facilities, services and utilities available to the site.
Resolution No. P -04 -24
Page 4
E. The proposed religious facility and preschool expansions have been designed to
comply with the Poway General Plan and Municipal Code standards and the
uses will be compatible with surrounding development. Therefore, there will be
no harmful effect upon desirable neighborhood characteristics. The project will
not utilize streets in the residential neighborhoods to the north and east and a
minimum 50 -foot setback from the religious facility and preschool to the adjacent
residentially zoned properties will be provided.
F. As demonstrated by the traffic analysis dated December 3, 2002, prepared by
Graves Engineering Inc., revised on May 23, 2003, and August 15, 2003, the
generation of additional traffic as a result of the religious facility expansion and
preschool will not adversely impact the capacity and physical character of
Pomerado Road. No other City streets will be utilized by the project. The
applicant is required to install striping and signage to prohibit left turns in and out
of the driveway to Pomerado Road to facilitate turning movement into the
religious facility driveways. Therefore the proposed project is found to be
consistent with the Circulation Element of the General Plan.
G. The expansion of the religious facility and preschool are allowable on land zoned
Residential Single - Family 4 and the property is located in an area with suitable
circulation and other infrastructure. The surrounding development is compatible
with the proposed uses. Therefore, the site is suitable for the synagogue,
childcare facility and private school.
H. There will not be significant harmful effects upon environmental quality and
natural resources in that the proposed religious facility addition and preschool
expansion are located on a previously disturbed site and the removal of 0.06
acres of disturbed wetlands habitat will be mitigated consistent with the PSHCP.
The proposed project will not cause a significant air quality impact as
demonstrated by the Air Quality Impact Study prepared by Giroux & Associates
dated December 5, 2002, and updated June 4, 2003. The use involves no
hazardous materials or processes, nor does it significantly affect natural
resources. Therefore, there will not be significant harmful effects upon
environmental quality and natural resources.
There are no other relevant negative impacts of the proposed use that cannot be
mitigated.
J. The impacts, as described above, and the proposed location, size, design and
operating characteristics of the proposed use and the conditions under which it
would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the
vicinity nor be contrary to the adopted General Plan.
Resolution No. P -04 -24
Page 5
K. The proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable provisions
of Section 17.48.070 of the Poway Municipal Code with regard to current
development standards.
Section 4: The findings, in accordance with Section 17.52 of the Poway Municipal
Code, for Development Review 02 -05 to add 23,022 square feet to the existing 17,557 -
square -foot religious facility located at 15905 Pomerado Road within the Residential
Single - Family 4 (RS-4) zone and to expand the preschool student enrollment from 35 to
75, are made as follows:
A. The religious facility and preschool expansion have been designed to comply
with the development standards of the Poway General Plan and Municipal Code.
The colors and materials used in the construction of the facility are compatible
with the surrounding development. The building will be set back 50 feet from the
adjacent residential property lines and landscaping will soften the building from
such views. Therefore, the building respects the interdependence of land values
and aesthetics to the benefit of the City.
B. The buildings have been designed to comply with the development standards of
the Poway General Plan and Municipal Code and be in character with existing
development in the area. Therefore, the proposed development does not conflict
with the orderly and harmonious appearance of structures and property within the
City along with associated facilities, such as but not limited to signs, landscaping,
parking areas and streets.
C. There are public facilities, services and utilities available. No significant traffic
impacts will occur with this development. The project will otherwise conform to
all City ordinances. Therefore, the proposed project does not detract from the
maintenance of the public health, safety and general welfare, and property
throughout the City.
D. The buildings are designed to be consistent in design with surrounding
development. Therefore, the proposed development respects the public
concerns for the aesthetics of developments.
E. The proposed project will meet the required design regulations and will otherwise
comply with all of the relevant codes and standards of the City of Poway.
Therefore, the proposal does not have an adverse aesthetic, health, safety or
architecturally related impact upon existing adjoining properties, or the City in
general.
F. The proposed project will comply with all of the provisions of the Zoning
Ordinance, and the General Plan.

D. DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
Please refer to the Environmental Initial Study Checklist Form above when reading
the following evaluation.
I. AESTHETICS:
Architecture: The architecture of the existing Temple facility is contemporary and
the building materials include brown roof tiles, and beige stucco walls. As seen
from Pomerado Road, the Temple's roofline presents. 'a flat, low one- story.structure.
The height of the structure slowly increases to the two -story height of the sanctuary..
The existing maximum height of the sanctuary is approximately 29 feet.
The proposed addition would extend east and north of the- existing structure. The
structure would be centrally located on the property I.li an .east west orientation with
parking lots to the south, east, and north of the building. 'The proposed, structure'
would maintain a minimum of a 50-foot-setback from surrounding residential
development as required by the Zoning Code. The architecture of the proposed
addition is similar to the geometric architecture of the existing building, but would
add more architectural detail. The proposed addition would -create three new
architectural focal points. The highest focal point would consist of an. approximately
200 - square -foot curved roof above.the Bimah of the .sanctuary. The other two focal
points consist of the hexagonal shaped roof above the chapel and the arched entry
"canopy*.' The maximum height of this roof element above the Bimah is
approximately 33 feet. A majority of the building addition is 25 feet in height or
lower. Except for the 200 - square -foot curved roof articulation, the overall height of
the building is consistent with the height of two -story homes In the surrounding.
neighborhood.
The proposed exterior wall 'materials of the addition would consist of bands of
textured concrete block in 2 colors that match or complement the stucco of the
existing building. Roof materials would be a gray metal with a matte finish. Staff
will include a condition of approval in the proposed Resolution for the project that
the new building materials and /or other architectural amenities be extended to parts
of the existing building to tie the appearance of the existing with the proposed,
building.
Upon completion of the additional classrooms, the Temple proposes to Increase the
number of pre - school students from the current 35 students to 75. The Temple has
Indicated that' a formal playground would be established between the existing
building and Pomerado Road. The final location and screening design of the
playground would be subject to the approval by the Director of Development.
Services.
Grading: The proposal would create fill slopes along the north property line and cut
slopes-near the east and south property lines in order to accommodate the addition
of 158 new parking spaces, expanding the parking lot .to a total of 299 parking
spaces on the entire project site. Staff estimates that the proposed finished grade
of the parking lot is less than 6 feet higher than the pads of the homes located to
the north and more than 8 feet lower than the building pads located to the. east and

line. Along the north property line, the parking lot will be built up with a combination.'.
of a 2:1 slope and fill- retaining wall varying 1.5 feet to 4 feet in height. Along the
east and south property line, the parking lot will be cut into the natural grade with. a
combination of an approximately 4 foot high ' retaining wall and 2:1 slopes. The'
slopes would be planted with dense landscaping consisting of trees, shrubs, vines,
and. groundcover to soften the appearance of 'the grading and walls. The
landscaping, combined with a -6 -foot high wall, would provide a visual buffer of the
parking lot and- Temple facility as viewed from adjacent residential properties.
Where necessary; due to elevation change, a second wall measuring 4 to 6 feet in
height would be Installed along the north property line to further shield car lights and
create privacy.for the adjoining residences.
Trees: The currently developed. portion of the project site 'contains approximately
120 mature trees. Forty (40) trees, or approximately 1 /3 of the _ property's existing
trees, are - proposed to be removed to accommodate the proposed Temple
expansion. Six (6) palms would be transplanted to, a new landscaping area within
the expanded Temple. Approximately 30 of the trees to be removed are located
along the northern and eastern perimeter of the existing Temple development.
They consist primarily of .London Plane, Carrot Wood, and Pine trees planted In
connection with the previous Temple construction project in the .late 1980'x. The
health of the trees varies. In the southeast comer of the property 10 trees.wouid be
removed to make room for new parking spaces. However, it should also be noted
that these new. spaces were designed to protect 10 existing mature trees.
The loss of the trees would make the Temple. structures more visible from
surrounding properties. The tree removal would require a Free Removal Permit
and the trees must be replaced In accordance with the - Poway Municipal Code's
Urban Forestry Ordinance. To offset the loss of the trees, a combination of upsizing
and increasing the number of trees required to be planted as. part of the new
landscape plan will help ' visually screen the Temple development from view from
adjacent 'neighboring homes. The City of Poway`s Guide to Landscape
Requirements requires-that one tree be installed for every three parking spaces and
that a landscape finger with a tree be Installed for every 10 .spaces in a row. in
addition, the City of Poway's Zoning Code requires that a tree-be pianted.20 feet on .
center in the 5-foot landscape buffer between the Temple and residential property.
Li tin : The proposed project includes new lighting around the building and within
the new parking- lot. The applicant is proposing to install low- pressure sodium lights
within the parking lot. Non -low- pressure wall lights and boilard lights will. be.
Installed to provide safety lighting. The project plans avoid installing new light
stands along the periphery of the -parking lot near neighboring residences. A
photometric (lighting) analysis dated March 31, 2003, prepared by Kruse and
Associates, demonstrates that the proposed site - lighting will not spill over into the
neighboring properties. As such, the lighting impact to the surrounding
neighborhood will be less than significant.
MITIGATION: Upon, review of the final grading plans,' an assessment ,shall be
made by the City-to determine if some of the trees proposed for removal can be
reasonably protected in place or transplanted. Any tree removals shall be mitigated
16
Resolution No. P -04 -24
Page 40
EIS and Che(*lst
In accordance with the City of Poway Urban Forestry Ordinance. The mitigation of
the trees will be satisfied by increasing the size and number of the trees required by
the Poway's Guide to Landscape Requirements and Zoning Code within the parking
lot, along the property perimeter adjacent to residential development, and along
Pomerado Road; subject to the satisfaction of the Director of Development.
Services.
11. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES: The project will not have a significant adverse
impact on the agricultural resources in the area in that the site is not and has not
been used in the recent past for agricultural purposes.
Ill. AIR QUALITY: The construction ofthelemple expansion Will -result in-a cumulative
increase in emissions, An air quality impact study was prepared to determine the
potential air quality impact of the proposed project related to the increased traffic
generated, by the larger .facility and the queuing :of cars as students are being.
dropped off and picked up. The Air Quality Impact Study prepared by Giroux &
Associates dated December 5, 2002, and updated June 4, 2003, determined that
air. quality impacts of the proposed Temple expansion are insignificant and it would
comply with air quality. programs. The Air Quality Impact Study determined that the -
proposed project was well below. the thresholds for Carbon Monoxide (CO),
Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), and reactive organic gasses (ROG), Respirable
Particulates (PM -10), and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2).
The site - specific study also included a Micro-Scale Impact ( "hot- spat ") analysis to
determine the air quality impacts of queuing cars in connection : with dropping off
students for preschool or religious - studies. The model assumed a worst-case
scenario of approximately 200 drop-off trips during the -a.m. peak hours..
Accordingly, the study calculated that the proposed project would generate only
36%. of standard for one -hour exposure of Carbon Monoxide (CO). The actual
impact would be even less because the current or projected number of students at.
any given time is less than 200 students. In addition, delivery of preschool children
requires the adults to park their car and walk the children to class.
Air quality. in the surrounding area will be temporarily impacted during construction.
All construction vehicles are to follow best management practices .(BMP) to reduce
the amount of emissions and dust. This includes the proper tuning of vehicles and
the use of water trucks during grading.
IV. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES: The project site is not located within the mitigation
.area of the Poway Subarea Habitat Conservation Plan: Approximately 3.5 acres of
the 5.7 -acre project site is currently developed. The addition of new structures and
a parking lot is proposed for the remaining, vacant 2.2 acres. According to ,a
biological study dated May 14, 2002, prepared by Vincent N. Scheidt, the vacant
property consists of Disturbed Habitat, Disturbed Weiland, and Developed/Urban.
The Disturbed Habitat that comprises at least 90% of the site has been previously
disturbed and continually mowed for fire protection. This- area. is primarily barren
earth with invasive species. The biological study estimafes that approximately 80
percent of the vegetation of this area is weedy non - native plants, such as wild .
barley, tumble mustard, and bur clover, and is of very limited habitat value to local
17
Resolution No. P -04 -24
Page 41
EIS and Checklist
area wildlife.
The vegetation of the- Developed/Urban area near, Pomerado Road and adjacent to
the existing Temple development consists of ornamental plants and ground cover.
The Disturbed Wetlands Habitat consists of a north-south oriented drainage area
that collects run -off from the development to the south. According to the biological
study, approximately 2,536 square feet of the property qualifies as wetland habitat.
The removal of the habitat is necessary to realign the existing northern. driveway
from Pomerado Road to the Temple site. The loss of wetland habitat regardless of
size is considered significant, as defined by CEQA, and must be mitigated.. The
removal of the disturbed wetland habitat would requlre• the approval ,of a'1603
Streambed Alteration Agreement from the Califomia Department of Fish and Game
and a 401 Certification from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board.
No permit is'required from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. because the wetland
impacts are less than 0.1 acres.
MITIG6TION:
Disturbed' Wetland Habitat: The applicant must obtain'a 1603 Permit from the'.
Department of Fish and Game and a 401 Permit from the Regional Water Quality
Control Board prior to the removal of any wetland_ habitat. The loss of the wetland
habitat must be mitigated at no less than a 1:1 mitigation ratio by off -site wetland
revegetation enhancement or.other measure as agreed upon by the Department of
Fish and Game, the applicants, and the City.
CULTURAL RESOURCES: The project site does not contain any historical
structures. According to the Poway General Plan, the project site Is _located in an
area with high probability of archaeological resource. According to conversations
with staff of Brian Smith and Associates, a cultural resource consulting firm, the
likelihood that an archaeological reconnaissance would yield any evidence of
archaeological resources is minimal because the project site has previously been
disturbed by' fill. Archeological monitoring will be required' during the grading
process of excavating for the utilities and building footings involving native soil.
Should such monitoring discover cultural resources, the. archeologist would have
the authority to halt activities and perform a suitable evaluation. This would be
followed by the incorporation of any necessary measures to document, relocate,
and /or preserve the resources.
V. GEOLOGY AND SOILS:" The 5.7 -acre site contains gentle sloping topography.
The approximately 2.2 -acre, vacant portion of the project site ranges in elevation
from 608 feet in the west (along Pomerado Road) to 637 feet in the east. According
to the soils report dated December 3, 2001, and prepared by C.W. I a Monte
Company, the vacant portion consists primarily of loose fill, topsoil, and/or alluvium
overlying granitic bedrock. Some of the soil would have to be removed and re-
compacted to be able to support the proposed building expansion and parking lot.
As identified In the report, although the site contains highly expansive soils, the
potential for liquefaction or landslides is less than significant based on soil density,
grain -size distribution, groundwater conditions, the slope of the property, and the*
underlying bedrock conditions. The contractor will be required to obtain a, City
18
Resolution No. P -04 -24

EIS and Checklist
grading permit, provide erosion control, and comply'with all conditions of the permit.
As such, no significant impact geologic related impacts are anticipated
VI. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: The project.does not involve the use -
of hazardous materials or emissions. The property has not been identified by local
agencies as having hazardous or contaminated soils: As such, the project will not
create a significant hazardous impact and no mitigation is required.
VII. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY: According to Flood Insurance Rate .Map
No. 06073C1093 F published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the
project is not located within a 100 -year flood plain or within -100 feet of a 100 -year
flood plain. The 5.7 -acre project site is partially developed. The northerly and
easterly 2.2 acres of the project site is vacant. ' Run -off from existing 'southerly
development drains north into the vacant lot. The run -off continues to drain north
into a headwall that Is located on the neighboring property to the. north. However, a
depression along Pomerado Road has created an approximately 0.06 -acre
disturbed wetlands area as further discussed in Item IV "Biological Resource"
above. The proposed project would remove the wetlands area and collect the run-.
off in an underground system that would connect to the public storm drain system
within Pomerado Road.
The proposed expansion of the religious facility will not have a significant adverse
Impact on water or ground water quality or quantity, nor promote increased erosion
because the project has incorporated current State Regional Water Quality Control
Board and City of Poway SUSMP and NPDES requirements into the design. The
proposed project would be designed to treat and slowly release run -off from the
existing development and the new Impervious area into the public storm- drainage.
system consistent with SUSMP requirements. Erosion control plans will be required
in association with the project grading plans.
MITIGATION: See wetlands habitat discussion. in ltem..IV Biological Resources
above.
VIII. LAND USE AND PLANNING: 'The project is located within the Residential Single-
Family 4 (R6-4y land use area and zone. Religious facilities are allowed within the
'RS-4 zone subject to the. issuance of a Conditional Use - Pem°rlt. The. project 1s
located on the east side of Pomerado Road, which. is. classified .In the Poway
General Plan as a Major Arterial Roadway. Single - family residential development is.
located to the north, east, and southeast of the project site. Neighboring residential
properties will be buffered from the proposed Temple activities by a minimum 5-
foot wide densely landscaped planter area and a 6 -foot -high wall.. A medical office
building is located to the south and a retail center is located to, the west, opposite of
Pomerado Road. The proposed project would continue to use Pomerado Road for
access and use the existing underground utility systems without .affecting the
connectivity of the surrounding development. A trail and sidewalk would be
constructed along Pomerado Road• across the currently undeveloped portion of the
Temple property to connect with existing trail improvements to the north- and along
the southerly portion of the Temple property. As such, no significant impact to land
Use. and Planning are anticipated.
19
Resolution No. P -04 -24
Page 43
EIS and Checklist. .
IX. MINERAL . - RESOURCES: According to the City's Master Environmental
Assessment, there are no known mineral resources In the. project area. Therefore,,_
the project will not have a significant adverse impact on any known mineral
resource.
X NOISE: The proposed project has a potential for creating an increase In noise
levels over existing conditions. because the expanded parking lot will get closer to
neighboring residential properties to the north and west. However, this increase in
noise is not considered significant because a required -G -foot -high wall along the
properly lines bordering the neighboring residential lots will'provide a sound barrier.
A trash enclosure is proposed near the center of the new parking lot facing
residences to the north. To further reduce any potential noise impacts associated
with the use of the trash enclosure, staff will include, a condition of approval in the.
proposed Resolution for the project that the trash enclosure be moved south close
to the building subject to the -approval of the Director of Development Services..
Another condition of approval would require that trash - hauling services . be'
schedUled between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. on weekdays and between 9:00 a.m.
and 7:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.
The Resolution for approval of the Conditional Use Permit will contain -conditions of
approval to address noise concerns associated with.operations.
There may be a temporary noticeable increase in ambient noise levels during the
grading and construction process. This is considered temporary and, therefore, not
significant The. appilcant/contractor is required to comply with the City Noise
Ordinance, which limits the time that construction activity is permitted. Therefore,
there will be no significant noise impacts on the neighboring properties.
XI. POPULATION AND HOUSING: The proposed Temple expansion and associated
uses will not displace existing houses or people; nor will it significantly alter the
location growth rate of the human population in the City., Therefore, no significant
Impact to population or housing is expected.
XII.. PUBLIC -SERVICES: The proposed project provides for the construction of an
addition .to an existing religious facility and parking lot. Tide proposed project does.
not place a demand on existing school, park, and other public facilities. As such; no
significant impacts to Public Services are anticipated.
XiII: RECREATION: The proposed project provides for the constriction of an addition to .
an existing religious facility and parking lot. The proposed project does not place a
demand on recreation resources, in that it will not impactor cause the need for, or
expansion of," any new park. The project will provide a trail linkage along Pomerado
Road between the existing trail segments to the north and south, in That it will riot
Impact or cause the need for, or expansion of, any new trail system or park.
XiV. TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC: The Temple Adat Shaipm Site is located on
the east side of Pomerado Road between the signaled intersections at Pomerado
Road and Bernardo Heights Parkway and Pomerado Road and Stone Canyon
Road.. The Poway General, Plan designates Pomerado Road as a Major Arterial
Road. The westerly portion of Pomerado Road is located within tha city of Ran

EIS and Cheddist
Diego's City limits. As such, any work within Pomerado Road would need the
approval from the* City of San Diego. Pomerado Road currently provides four travel
lanes and a. striped left tum/center lane. Vehicular access to* the Temple Adat
Shalom project site currently consists of two. existing driveways off Pomerado
Road. The southerly driveway is the main driveway used for both in- coming and
out -going traffic. The narrower, northerly driveway is designated for exit -only
traffic.
Until a few months ago, the Temple had an access easement to Country Squire
Drive across a neighboring property to the east. The access easement was
unimproved' except for a private driveway to an adjacent residential property. The
Temple did not use the easement. Former Temple plans proposed a third access
point to Country Squire Drive using this easement. At the request of the neighbors;
the Temple Adat Shalom recorded a quitclaim deed on June 25, 2003, thereby
relinquishing access rights to this• easement precluding any future access to
Country Squire Drive.
The proposed Temple expansion would continue using the existing Pomerado Road.
driveways. The proposed Temple expansion proposes to allow cars to enter and
exit using either of the existing driveways. In order to accommodate. the two-way
traffic, the northerly driveway would be widened from 20 feet to .approximately 30
feet. The approximately 25 -foot -wide southerly driveway is adequate.
A traffic analysis dated December 3, 2002, and revised on May 23, 2003, and
August 15, 2003, was conducted by Graves Engineering Inc. to determine and
evaluate the traffic impacts on the local circulation system due to. the development
of the larger Temple facility. The traffic analysis concluded that the proposed
Temple expansion would generate 392 Average Daily Trips (ADTs) as a result of
the incremental increase and normal growth pattem of the Temple Adat Shalom
Congregation. The traffic analysis recommended that both driveways off of
Pomerado Road be limited to right turn only to facilitate fuming movements Into the
Temple driveways. The.-center median in Pomerado Road would be striped to
prohibit left turns' into the driveways. This is consistent with future plans for
Pomerado Road that calls for a raised median.
The traffic study also reviewed any potential Impacts of mare cars having to perform -
a U-turn maneuver at nearby signaled intersections ( Pomeradoo Road/Bemardo
Heights Road and Pomerado Road /Stone Canyon Road) because left turns in and
out of the Temple driveways no longer will be allowed. The traffic study concluded
that the trips to and from the Temple project would not result in a .significant impact
to the surrounding intersections. The project impacts are based on build -out in year
2020 and may not be realized until that time.
The project includes installing an expanded parking Jot, providing a total of
approximately 299 parking spaces. The Temple currently provides 141 parking
spaces. The 299 parking spaces are consistent with the off-street parking
requirement of the Poway Zoning Code based on the area of loose seating in .the.
Social Hall and the fixed and loose seating of the sanctuary. -The. Temple has
indicated that the chapel would not be used the same time as when activities are
proposed in 4oth the social hall and- the sanctuary.
