ITEM 11
BUSINESS ADVISORY COMMITTEE ANNUAL REPORT
AND SIGN AMORTIZATION PROGRAM
Item introduced by City Manager Bowersox. Staff report by Director of
Administrative Services Stewart. The Business Advisory Committee has prepared
its annual report for the City Council citing its accomplishments and findings
during 1990. Also, as a result of the Sign Ordinance adopted in 1983, March 31,
1991 is the date for nonconforming signage to be brought into compliance. The
Committee is recommending relief for businesses which have remained under the
same ownership and location since prior to the ordinance adoption. The City
Attorney has advised that this would result in discriminatory enforcement;
however, the Committee has asked the City Council to consider the recommen-
dation. Staff recommends that the City Council receive the annual report and
give direction regarding the sign amortization program.
Speaking in favor of the Committee's recommendation:
Kenneth Plummer, 13215 Poway Road, All-Health Nutrition
Arnold Irola, 13215 Poway Road, All-Health Nutrition
Rick Grady, 1841Corte Pulsera, Oceanside, representing McDonald's
Kyle Everson, 14679 Evening Star Dr., Chairperson of the Business Advisory
Committee

a result of this type discussion and that in eight years many business owners
have complied. They concurred that enforcement will be on a case by case basis
with sensitivity to individual conditions.

ITEM 14
WATER STATUS REPORT
ITEM 32
COUNCILMEMBER SNESKO'S SURVEY
City Manager Bowersox suggested these two items be discussed together. The
latest information on the water issue is that we will have a 30% mandated
decrease in water consumption as of March 1. The major issue is how we address
it fairly. Staff is exploring a life line process with inclining block rate for
higher consumption.
Council discussed the situation with Llnda Brannon, Poway's representative to
the San Diego County Water Authority.
Michael McFarland, 14455 Ipava Drive, expressed opposition to mandatory reduc-
tions as long as growth is still being allowed.
Bill Barnick, 14645 Sunrise Canyon Road, expressed frustration over not knowing
all the facts on what will happen.
Councilmember Snesko stated he would propose planning a moratorium on multi-unit
housing and sending an survey to all mayors and councilmembers in the county
requesting an anonymous opinion on whether a building moratorium should be
imposed. We could then announce the percentage of those in favor and, if the
percentage is high enough, perhaps other cities would be willing to stand up and
take action. Council declined to follow this procedure.
Council discussion included need for water reclamation including loosening the
restrictions for using reclaimed water for household use; need to plan for
drought like we do for flood; need for regional forum on water to determine
where other agencies are coming from.
Council noted that this item will appear on every agenda and concurred to
receive and file this report.
ITEM 28

as a result of a closed session the City of San Diego City Council held today.
