Page 3 - CITY OF POWAY - June 11, 1991
City Manager Bowersox stated that because the State is looking to balance their
budget, they are looking at new sources of revenue this year, in addition to the
booking fees and payment for property tax administration approved for the
Counties last year. The City of Poway's budget is less than last year and we
are looking at the status quo for programs. Four positions have been identified
that will not be filled and eight positions were assigned to the Drought
Assistance Response Team for the 1991-92 year.
Council con~ended the staff and Committee for their many hours of work, and
production of a readable document.
Council suggested some revisions, including increasing the estimate for the
South Poway Parkway, east end, project; excluding references to a new City Hall;
and holding a workshop on goals and objectives in order for a current list to be
included in the final document. Mayor Goldsmith suggested that, in light of the
tight budget, a staff impact analysis be added to reports regarding various pro-
jects.
Motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember McIntyre to continue
the public hearing to June 18, 1991. Motion carried unanimously.
ITEM 6
ZONING INTERPRETATION
PALOMAR POMERADO HEALTH SYSTEMS
City Manager Bowersox stated that the hospital district has requested removal of
this item from the calendar. He and the Planning Services Director met with
them today and presented some possible solutions. This interpretation may not
be needed in the future.
ITEM 7.1
PRELIMINARY DRAFT GENERAL PLAN
Council concurred to begin this meeting's review with the Housing Element.
Motion by Mayor Goldsmith, seconded by Councllmember Higginson to change the
wording on Single Room Occupancy hotels to indicate they are just an option
being considered, along with the Affordable Housing overlay zone. Motion
carried unanimously.
Council discussed at length the Housing Element and compliance with the
Bergeson Bill and concurred they will submit an element they are comfortable
with to the State Housing and Community Development Department {HCD) and wait
until their comments are returned to determine how to proceed in reaching
compliance. They cited the steps the city has taken since incorporation
including approval of multi-family housing and purchase of the mobilehome parks
and their disagreement with the basis of the formula to determine "fair share."
They also noted that Poway's General Plan plans for a specific population and is
not a dynamic document that changes every five years like many cities.
4213
Page 4 - CITY OF POWA¥ - June 11, 1991
Motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember Higginson, to delete
paragraphs B, C and G under the heading "New Housing Construction" on page
viii-42 and to delete or restructure the first paragraph of that section.
Motion carried unanimously.
Council discussed the jobs/housing balance concept and City Manager Bowersox
suggested the creation of a data base regarding employees in the South Poway
Industrial Park since he contends that most of those jobs are relocations from
other areas of the County and not creation of new jobs.
Motion by Councilmember McIntyre, seconded by Councilmember Emery to remove
the time constraint on the Committee on page VIII-20; and reword the selection
criteria introduction sentence to say that "The criteria to be considered by
the Committee will include:"; and to add to criteria 7 that it will not
over-impact any one area of the city. Motion carried unanimously.
Motion by Councilmember McIntyre, seconded by Councilmember Emery to add a
strategy on page II-64 regarding housing for the elderly and to make the text
of the Plan consistent with all the changes that have been made during the
past three meetings. Motion carried unanimously.
Assistant City Attorney Smith suggested that the wording on Page VIII-38 under
Strategy 1 either have the words "familial status" added or "on the basis of
age, sex, and race" be deleted.
Council concurred that Page II-63, Policy B, should have "very low" included
with low and moderate, and that a statement needs to be made regarding
encouraging child care facilities in conjunction with housing similar to the
statement in the Santee plan.
Following discussion regarding the Housing Committee, motion by Councilmember
Emery, seconded by Mayor Goldsmith to direct staff to redefine the charter of
the Redevelopment Advisory Committee to add some members specifically for
housing from all areas of the city and add the responsibility of housing
issues mentioned in the General Plan. Motion carried unanimously.
Director of Planning Services Wright-Quastler stated she will submit the
revised pages to the City Council on June 25 and, if they concur at that time,
it will go out for public comment.
RECESS AND CALL TO ORDER
Mayor Goldsmith recessed the meeting at 9:06 p.m., and called it back to order
at 9:13 p.m., with all Councilmembers present.

A. City Manager Bowersox stated the citizens had achieved a 33% reduction in
water usage during the first 10 days of June.
DART Project Manager MacPherson showed a proposed design for signs to be
posted at the entrances to the city showing how we are doing on water con-
servation. Council requested five signs to be located at Camino del Norte
at westerly city limits, Pomerado Road at southerly city limits, Poway Road
at westerly city limits, Espola Road at westerly city limits, and
Poway/Espola Road intersection.

summer months.

dications in Poway and asked staff to investigate.

Councilmember Snesko expressed concern regarding the graffiti on
the wall at Poway and Carriage Roads and suggested the city adopt
an ordinance requiring removal by the property owner and establish
a reward for information leading to conviction of someone who
applies graffiti.
Mayor Goldsmith reported on a League of California Cities meeting
regarding anti-graffiti ordinances he had attended and stated the
San Diego County chapter is putting together a model ordinance.
He expressed concern that we are penalizing a victim because those
who have graffiti on their property are victims.
Motion by Councilmember Snesko, seconded by Councilmember Emery,
to direct staff to come back with an anti-graffiti program for
Council consideration. Motion carried unanimously.
Councilmember Snesko stated staff has informed him that the Dodge
dealership property will have a car dealer opening within a month.
Councilmember Snesko expressed concern that the city committed funds to
the Pontiac dealership and the project has not gone forward and asked
for ways to recoup the funds. City Manager Bowersox stated that the
agreements are with the automobile corporations and there is a stipu-
lation that the property must be used for 15 years as an automobile
dealership so we are assured there will be a dealership there soon.
Mayor Goldsmith announced the following appointments: Day Care Task
Force: Elizabeth Reardon and Candy Ketterman (Goldsmith), Leslie
Fausett {Snesko); Library Advisory Committee: Sue Herndon {Goldsmith);
Water Allocation Appeals Board: Bill Dulmage (Goldsmith), Jim Stanton
(Emery), Richard Bentley (Higginson). This item will be scheduled
again next week for the other two appointments to the Water Allocation
Appeals Board.
Mayor Goldsmith stated the County Board of Supervisors is preparing a
redistricting plan and Poway can fall into either District 2 or 3, or
be split between them. Council concurred they have no preference.
Mayor Goldsmith stated that he is working with the Chair of the Rancho
Penasquitos Planning Group to finalize the agreement with CalTrans
regarding the timing of ramp signals on Poway Road. It appears the
signals will be delayed until 8A is open and the RP group does not want
8A open until Phase 2 of the Mercy Road interchange improvements are
completed because of the capacity of the interchange. He requested a
report from staff this fall regarding the timing and status of all the
related projects.

D)
Mayor Goldsmith stated part of the Air Pollution Control plan is to
implement some mass transit on 1-15 until the light rail system is
completed. It would be a transit center in the region with a mini-bus
going up and down 1-15 during off-hours. Another part of the program
is using the HOV lanes as a toll facility for single passenger automo-
biles. Council concurred that staff be directed to follow up on this
to help move it from policy to reality.
E) This item was discussed under 22B and C.
F)
Mayor Goldsmith stated that Judge Brewster's order of June 5, 1991 may
affect the Special Act District and is being proposed as a successor to
Metro and to operate the Clean Water Program. He also stated that the
San Diego City Council voted unanimously to authorize staff to nego-
tiate an agreement with Poway to bring our plant into the Clean Water
Program as soon as the EIR is certified. He stated there was some
opposition from the residents of Sabre Springs
Upon motion by Councilmember Higginson, seconded by Councllmember Snesko, Mayor
