City Manager Bowersox stated that this is in response to a request by the Council at the December 12, 1989 meeting, to consider concerns expressed by Betty Rexford regarding noise abatement for car stereo systems. The proposed Ordinance would prohibit the operation of a sound amplification system which could be heard more than 5D feet from a vehicle when the vehicle is not in operation upon a highway. The California Vehicle Code prohibition applies to vehicles which are being operated upon a highway. This proposal would bring standards for enforcement for unmoving vehicles on public or private property into conformity with those in effect for moving vehicles on streets and roads. Speaking in favor of staff recommendation: Betty Rexford, 11570 Creek Road Following discussion as to whether or not 50 feet was the appropriate distance, motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember Kruse, to waive further reading of Ordinance No. 312, continue the public hearing to March 27, 1990, for second reading, and direct staff to analyze and report back at second reading regarding the 50 foot distance requirement. Motion carried unanimously. ITEM 6 RENTAL RATES FOR POWAY CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS Mayor Higginson opened the public hearing. Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. The Performing Arts Advisory Committee has reviewed the use of the Performing Arts Center by outside, third party groups other than the City or the Poway Unified School District and recommends a rental rate schedule based on hourly rates and a percentage of gross for six categories. These categories were based upon whether or not the renter was based within the "service area", defined as the communities of Poway, Rancho Bernardo, Rancho Penasquitos, Carmel Mountain Ranch, Sabre Springs, Scripps Ranch, and Ramona; and whether the renter qualifies as a nonprofit organization. Staff recommends approval. There was no one present wishing to speak. Council expressed concern regarding: service area boundaries extending beyond the Poway Unified School District boundaries, and percentage of gross charged for private, nonprofit tax exempt organizations. 3693 Page 4 - CITY OF POWAY - March 13, 1990 Following discussion, motion by Councilmember Kruse, seconded by Councilmember Goldsmith, to close the public hearing, and adopt Resolution No. 90-040 entitled, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Poway, California, Establishing the Schedule of Fees for Rental of the Poway Center for the Performing Arts." Motion carried unanimously with the understanding that this could be amended at a later date if necessary. ITEM 7 POWAY HIGH SCHOOL FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA PROGRAM Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. At the February 6, 1990 meeting, a group of residents requested that the City Council support their request to re- establish the Future Farmers of America {FFA) facility on the Poway High School campus. The Council directed staff to prepare a letter of support for the return of the FFA program to the high school campus. Staff presented the letter to the Poway Unified School District {PUSD) Board of Trustees at their February 13, 1990 meeting. At that meeting, the PUSD Board requested their staff report back at the March 12, 1990 Trustee's meeting. Staff reports that the PUSD Board discussed concerns regarding parking, increased enrollment, and a still unde- cided boundary issue as factors in their consideration of relocating to the high school. They directed the PUSD staff to locate a site for the facility and did not eliminate consideration of the high school campus. Councilmember Emery reported that during recent discussions with FFA supporters, they indicated support for a small animal facility on campus, with the large animals being located off campus. Following discussion, motion by Councilmember Brannon, seconded by Councilmember Goldsmith, to direct staff to prepare a proposal to be presented to the Poway Unified School District Board of Trustees in support of a small animal facility on campus, and a large animal facility located off campus. Motion carried una- nimously. ITEM 8 PREPARATION OF A HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. On April 11, 1989, the City Council approved revisions to the Redevelopment Advisory Committee's charter which expanded their responsibilities to include review during the planning process for expenditure of the Agency's low/moderate income housing funds. The Committee determined that an affordable housing needs assessment was necessary prior to the development of a long-range plan to address the City's actual needs. The Committee has reviewed proposals from four firms and recommends a contract in the amount of $37,860 for a Housing Needs Assessment be awarded to Cotton/Beland/Associates, Inc. The scope of the needs assessment includes admi- nistration of the interviews in both Spanish and English. Staff recommends approval. Motion by Councilmember Kruse, seconded by Councilmember Emery, to approve staff recommendation. Motion carried unanimously. 3694 Page 5 - CITY OF POWAY - March 13, 1990 ITEM 8.1 SPORTS FACILITY NEEDS AND POLICIES Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. At the March 6, 1990 City Council meeting, residents spoke regarding the need for additional facilities and playing fields for organized youth sports and opposed any prohibition from using neighborhood parks for these activities. Council directed staff to report back at this meeting in order to have an opportunity to give input to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee prior to the Committee's March 21, 1990 meeting. Items to be discussed by the Committee include: assessment of the need for additional recreational playing facilities, and consideration of rules and pro- cedures for the use and scheduling of park facilities. Staff recommends that the Council provide input to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee con- cerning park facility needs and the use of park facilities.
