Introduction by City Manager Bowersox. Staff report by Director of Planning
Services Wright-Quastler. This item is for consideration of a resubmitted
application from Environmental Development Ltd. for the redesignation of land
use and zoning from RR-A, RR-B, and RR-C to Planned Community with a Specific
Plan and Tentative Tract Map, for approximately 708 acres of undeveloped land
located on the north side of Espola Road, in the northern portion of the City.
On June 13, 1989, the City Council denied General Plan Amendment/Zone Change

scaled down the project to 156 single-family lots of one acre minimum, a 27-hole
3771
Page 5 - CITY OF POWAY - May 15. 1990
golf course, clubhouse facility, and a three-acre mini-park. The City Attorney
has determined that the proposed amdendment is not subject to Proposition FF as
it meets the General Plan rural residential density with one-acre minimum lot
sizes.
A Final Environmental Impact Report has been prepared and includes a mitigation
monitoring and reporting program, along with candidate findings. The summary of
Environmental Consequences identifies the environmental impacts that can be eli-
minated or reduced to a level below significance. The two important issues are
water and biological resources.
The applicant has proposed modifications to conditions of approval. Staff
recommends approval of revisions to the following areas which were included in
applicant's request: Specific Plan resolution Paragraphs 1, 5 and 11 regarding
recording conditions of approval, conformance to Section VII, and restricted
uses to those allowed under residential zoning; Tentative Tract Map resolution
under Site Development, Paragraphs 6, 7, 13 and 16 regarding conceptual align-
ment of equestrian/ pedestrian trail, staging area for Old Coach Road improve-
ments, development fees in accordance with State law, identification of on-site
resourses to be preserved; Landscaping, Paragraphs 1 and 8 regarding annexation
into a Landscape Maintenance District, and Homeowner Association's construction
and maintenance to be same requirements as Landscape Maintenance Districts;
Additional Approvals, Paragraphs I and 7 regarding temporary use permit for a
sales trailer, recording conditions of approval and restricted uses to those
allowed under residential zoning; Grading, Paragraph 2 regarding use of chain
link fencing for protection of open space and low level marking system following
completion of bulk grading; Streets and Sidewalks, Paragraphs 2 and 22 regarding
additional approval by Director of Public Services for bridge construction, and
credit towards traffic mitigation fee for construction of Old Coach and Espola
Road signal; Drainage and Flood Control, Paragraph 7 deletion; Water, Paragraph
1 regarding installation of reclaimed water system to serve private residential
lots; Sheriff, Paragraph 5 regarding street signs lighted in accordance with
City standards; and General Requirements and Approvals, Paragraph 17 regarding
effective date for Tentative Map to become effective after 30 days from adoption
of the zone change Ordinance.
Staff recommends revisions in addition to applicant's request to the following
areas: Specific Plan resolution, Paragraph 12 regarding effective date;
Tentative Tract Map resolution, Streets and Sidewalks, Paragraph I regarding
vacation and restoration of Indian Canyon Lane terminus; Sewer, Paragraph 3
regarding sewer system and project layout designed to minimize the number of
public and individual pump stations necessary; Water, Paragraph 5 added
regarding golf course water supply to be classified as interruptible agri-
culture; and General Reguirements and Approvals, Paragraph 18 added regarding
design and construction of public utility systems to serve the ultimate develop-
ment of surrounding areas and extension of facilities to project boundaries.

GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT gO-01B
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. This item was initiated by the City
Council on May 16, 1989, and involves consideration of an amendment to the
General Plan Circulation Element for Old Coach Road between Espola Road and
Highland Valley Road and an unnamed road between Old Coach Road and Highland
Valley Road. On June 13, 1989, this item was considered as GPA 89-03B. The
Council took action to deny the General Plan Amendment and directed staff to
bring back for consideration at the same time as the Old Coach project resubmit-
tal. The Transportation Task Force has concluded that Old Coach Road is not of
regional signifance and recommended its removal from the Circulation Element in
a report to the City Council on March 20, 1990. The Circulation Element classi-
fies Old Coach Road as a planned Collector Arterial. The Final Environmental
Impact Report for the Old Coach Golf Estates Project {Environmental Development,
Ltd.} evaluates the potential traffic impacts for an amendment to the Old Coach
Road classification. Staff recommends certification of the Final Environmental
Impact Report, and deletion of Old Coach Road and Unnamed Road from Circulation
Element.
Speaking in favor of staff recommendation:
Vicki McMinn, 18525 Deer Valley Estates
John McMinn, 18525 Deer Valley Estates
Tom Romero, Apec Civil Engineers, 2341 5th Avenue, San Diego, representing
State Credit Corporation, owner of property north of the Old Coach Golf

Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. This is a City-initiated proposal to
change the zoning from RS-1 to Commercial General for 1.01 acres located behind
the former Woolworth Garden Center, south of Poway Road, west of Vista View
Drive. The redesignation of this property, combined with the former garden
center site, would provide for the expansion of the commercial zoned parcels to

ITEM 7
OWNER PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN
CITY OF POWAY/REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AND
MCMILLIN COMMUNITIES~ INC.
Mayor Higginson opened the public hearing. Staff report by City Manager
Bowersox. This item is for consideration of an Owner Participation Agreement
{OPA} with McMillin Communities, Inc. to provide for the construction of South
Poway Parkway to a width of six lanes and improvements to Pomerado Road. These
improvements are a condition of approval for McMillin's proposed 121 lot sub-
division located on the west side of Pomerado Road and south of South Poway
Parkway {TTM 88-04). The Redevelopment Agency has acquired property adjacent to
3776
Page 10 - CITY OF POWAY - May 15, 1990
the project for right-of-way for the westerly extension of South Poway Parkway.
McMillin would be credited up to $250,000 in traffic mitigation fees and the
Redevelopment Agency would provide $644,000 toward deferring the costs of the
improvements. Staff recommends approval of the OPA because the requirement to
construct these improvements is beyond that which would normally be required of
a residential development of this size.
Speaking in favor of staff recommendation:
Jim Ondler, McMillin Equity Partners II, 2727 Hoover Avenue, National City
Motion by Councilmember Goldsmith, seconded by Councilmember Brannon, to close
the public hearing, and adopt Resolution No. 90-100 entitled, "A Resolution of
the City Council of the City of Poway, California, Approving the Disposition of
Certain Real Property Pursuant to an Owner Participation Agreement by and bet-
ween the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Poway and McMillin Communities,
Inc. Motion carried 4-1, with Councilmember Emery voting "no."
ITEM 8.1
SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT 84-01D/TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 88-04R
APPLICANT: McMILLIN EQUITY PARTNERS II
Mayor Higginson stated that this public hearing was continued from May 8, 1990,
in response to questions raised by the Council regarding additional costs
incurred by the Redevelopment Agency for construction of South Poway Parkway if
the 15 additional residential units proposed by McMillin were not approved. The
Owner Participation Agreement was based upon 120 residential units with one com-
mercial lot. Staff has estimated that the deletion of the proposed units would
result in an increase of $600,000 by the Redevelopment Agency. Staff recommends
approval of the South Poway Specific Plan Amendment and the Tentative Tract Map
as amended to require expansion of the traffic study to include the intersection
of Pomerado/Creek Roads.
Speaking in favor of staff recommendation:
Jim Ondler, McMillin Equity Partners II, 2727 Hoover Avenue, National City.
Motion by Councilmember Goldsmith, seconded by Councilmember Brannon, to close
the public hearing, find that the previously certified Environmental Impact

ITEM g
REPORT FROM TRANSPORTATION TASK FORCE REGARDING
ALTERNATIVES TO ALLEVIATE POWAY ROAD TRAFFIC CONGESTION
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. The Transportation Task Force reviewed
traffic flows and vehicular capacity of Poway Road from the western City limit
to Poway Grade which was based on projections prepared by SANDAG and analyzed
by the Task Force's consulting engineers. Under current conditions, Poway Road
is operating at a Level of Service {LOS) F west of Community Road, LOS E between
Community Road and Midland Road, and LOS C east of Midland Road. Based upon the
findings, the Transportation Task Force majority report recommendations are as
follows: 1) close/redesign unnecessary driveways; 2) relocate/consolidate tran-
sit stops from major intersections and include bus turnouts where feasible; pro-
hibit turns at median breaks that do not have left turn lanes; work with the
Poway Road business community to incorporate reciprocal driveway access
agreements; 5) adopt design standards for Poway Road driveways; 6} support a
monument address sign program for Poway Road; and 7} implement computerized
signal synchronization program on Poway Road. Staff recommends Council approve
the recommendations of the Transportation Task Force and direct staff to coor-
dinate their implementation.
Motion by Councilmember Brannon, seconded by Councilmember Emery to approve
staff recommendation. Motion carried unanimously.
ITEM 10
APPEAL RE: PERMITTED USE IN RESIDENTIAL ZONE
APPLICANT: MICHAEL BRANDMAN ASSOCIATES
Introduction by City Manager Bowersox. Staff report by Director of Planning
Services Wright-Quastler. This item is a request for a determination from the
City Council that a proposed commercial athletic fitness facility is within the
intent and purpose of the Zoning Development Code and is similar to a private
recreational facility. Staff has determined that the applicant's proposal for a
commercial athletic facility, to be located on the west side of Pomerado Road,
north of the extension of SR 56, is not an appropriate use in a residential
zone. Staff recommends that the City Council uphold the Planning Director's
determination and direct staff to bring forward an ordinance amendment
clarifying Zoning Development Code Section 17.08.120.G.
Speaking in opposition to staff recommendation:
Barry Hogan, Michael Brandman Associates, 4918 North Harbor Drive, San Diego
Motion by Councilmember Kruse, seconded by Councilmember Emery, to approve staff
recommendation. Motion carried unanimously.

ITEM 11
PROPOSITIONS 108 AND 111
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. At the April 3, 1990 meeting, Council
requested a report regarding the implications of Proposition 111 and 108 on the
June 1990 ballot. Two major elements contained in the ballot measures are
increasing the gas tax and truck weight fees for transportation improvements,
and revising the Gann spending limit calculations. Both will have major impacts
on cities and the way services are delivered, and would allow state and local
governments greater flexibility in making use of already collected tax dollars.
Staff recommends adoption of a resolution in support of Propositions 108 and
111.
Motion by Councilmember Brannon, seconded by Councilmember Goldsmith, to adopt
Resolution No. 9D-102 entitled, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of
Poway, California, in Support of Propositions 108 and 111." Motion carried 4-1,
with Councilmember Emery voting "no."
