26. Councilmember Mclntyre stated she had sat on the ad hoc Poway Road Concept
Plan Committee which was formed by the City Council on March 5, 1991, to
discuss the town center concept and they have several recommendations to
present to the City Council including the need for a Poway Road Specific
Plan Advisory Committee; that no land use categories or General Plan
policies regarding Poway Road be changed until the Specific Plan is
completed; and several options for the specific plan including a prohibition
of additional grocery stores, liquor stores and drug stores from K-Mart to
Quate Court and creation of a restaurant row. She discussed with Council
the need for a vision for Poway Road and suggested a mission statement be
included in the General Plan. Following discussion, Council concurred that
a mission statement would be more appropriate after the specific plan is
completed.

stated the Chamber wants to take the lead in forming a Poway Road Specific
Plan Committee together with the civic associations and general public.
