ITEM 11
INTENT TO PREPARE A DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
FLOW EQUALIZATION BASIN/ADDITIONAL SEWER CAPACITY
Mayor Higginson opened the public hearing. Staff report by City Manager
Bowersox. On February 13, 1990, the City Council directed staff to prepare an
environmental review for obtaining 1.5 MGD of additional Metro capacity and
constructing a new flow equalization basin as a means of temporarily increasing
sewage capacity until our reclamation facility or additional pipelines are
constructed. A flow equalization basin would store wastewater in a tank during
peak flow periods and discharge into the sewer at low flow periods. Based upon
a flow equalization feasibility study prepared by the City's consultants, four
alternative sites have been identified as: 1} Site B-l, a 27.57 acre vacant par-
cel located east of the intersection of Community and Metate Roads; 2) Site B-5,
a 59.86 acre vacant parcel located at the northeast corner of New Pomerado Road
and South Poway Parkway; 3) Site 8, a 7.13 acre parcel owned by the City and
occupied by the City's existing Water Reclamation Plant; and 4) Site B-9, a
21.65 acre vacant parcel located at the southeast corner of Pomerado Road and SR
56. Site 8 is the preferred alternate site and will be designated in the draft
Environmental Impact Report as the proposed project. Staff has identified
potential environmental impacts in the areas of soils and geology, hydrology,
air quality, biological resources, population, socio-economic factors, land use
and planning, transportation, cultural resources, health, safety and nuisance
factors, aesthetics, utilities and public services, and energy and scarce
resources. This hearing is being held in order to determine if there are any
additional areas of potential environmental impacts not previously identified.
Council received testimony from the following speakers: Mike Fry, 12819 Selma Court, stated he opposes project
David Poole, representing Pardee Construction, 110 West "C" Street, San
Diego, spoke regarding the project's close proximity to the Sabre
Springs development in San Diego, and on odor and aesthetics since this
project will set the tone for acceptance of the proposed water reclama-
tion plant to be built on this site.
Motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember Goldsmith, to close the
public hearing and direct staff to send out a Notice of Preparation for a draft
Environmental Impact Report. Motion carried 3-0, with Councilmembers Brannon
and Kruse absent.
ITEM 12

ITEM 13
STATEMENT OF SEWER AVAILABILITY FOR
P77-71M/DEVELOPMENT REVIEW gO-D4
APPLICANT: ST. JOHN OF DAMASCUS CHURCH
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. This item is in accordance with the
Sewer Allocation Plan adopted on November 4, 1989, by Ordinance No. 304. The
applicants are proposing to build a new 3,870 square foot sanctuary on the
church's property at 16903 Espola Road and request that the Council determine
that the project qualifies for two EDUs of sewage capacity from the Reserve
Category. For the purposes of allocating sewer capacity, churches are deemed
commercial uses. Currently, there is no remaining sewage capacity available
from the Commercial Category for projects outside the Redevelopment Project
area. The Reserve Category was created by Council to meet "unanticipated public
needs," and requires amending Ordinance No. 304 in order to issue reserve units.
Staff recommends that the project does not warrant reservation of sewer capacity
from the Reserve Category and that Council deny request.
Speaking in opposition to staff recor, J))endation:
Doug Avis, P.O. Box 3525, Rancho Santa Fe, representing St. John's
Rev. Fr. Alexander Federoff, 8187 Jade Coast Road, San Diego
Following discussion, motion by Councllmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember
Goldsmith, to deny staff recommendation, and based on public benefit to the com-
munity approve the issuance of a statement of availability for two EDUs from the
Reserve Category, and direct staff to bring back an amendment to Ordinance No.
304 setting forth the findings for allocation of sewer capacity. Motion carried
3-0, with Councilmembers Brannon and Kruse absent.
ITEM 13.1
VERNAL POOL MITIGATION FOR
STATE ROUTE 56 AND TTM 89-15
City Manager Bowersox stated that this item was continued from July 17, 1990 at
the request of representatives from Carmel Mountain Ranch and the Sierra Club
regarding off-site mitigation program for the SR 56 project, and the existence
of vernal pools on the site approved as Tentative Tract Map 89-15, Rancho
Arbolitos. Staff has consulted with the City Attorney's office, and represen-
tatives from Department of Fish and Wildlife, Sierra Club and Carmel Mountain
Ranch regarding the necessity of acquiring an Army Corps of Engineers 404 permit
and Department of Fish and Game 1603 agreement. It is the opinion of the City
Attorney that the 404 permit requirement is based upon vernal pools being
classified as a wetland, with wetland definition based upon the existence of
endangered species. There are no endangered species in the Poway vernal pools,
therefore, it is the City Attorney's opinion that these approvals are not
necessary and that the mitigation recommended by staff is adequate.
Speaking in opposition to staff recommendation:
Mike Fry, 12819 Selma Court, representing Sierra Club
3852
Page 9 - CITY OF POWAY - July 24, 1990
