Why this is the right solution for the property
How this project is different from past proposals
A day on The Farm –a project for all Poway citizens
3
Valid concerns over the current condition of the property:
-Extreme fire hazard as uncontrolled vegetation in an infill
location
-Safety concerns dilapidated clubhouse
-No future as simply a golf course.
-financial annual loss and un-sustainable (several
competitive golf courses in the area, the cost of water to
maintain a golf course, and the loss of players and interest
in golf over time)
-CUP for the golf course is expired.
4
Why this is the right solution for the property
-Economically sustainable solution. Does NOT cost the City money in
maintenance, in-fact it generates tax dollars for the City.
-Enhances fire safety for the existing surrounding community by removing a
known fire hazard and providing a long-term fire-safety solution.
-The previously private, membership-only, property would become opened to
ALL Poway residents for passive and active recreation & would create
community gathering spaces in a bucolic setting.
-Supporting the development of these amenities with a balanced proposal for
only 160 homes on 117 acres.
