ITEM 4
NOTICE OF INTENT/DRAFT EIR
OLD COACH RANCH ESTATES
APPLICANT: STATE CONTINENTAL COMPANY
Mayor Goldsmith opened the public hearing. Staff report by City Manager
Bowersox. This is a scoping hearing for a proposed 52 lot subdivision of 574
acres north of Old Coach Golf Estates and extending to the northern city boun-
dary. The property is without city water and no application can be deemed
complete for processing until the Old Coach Golf Estates has extended water to
the boundary of this project. However staff recommends that the applicant be
permitted to proceed with the environmental work to save them time later in the
process. The EIR will not be presented for certification until the application
can be deemed completed, and if conditions have changed, a supplemental EIR may
be required.
Speaking in favor of staff recommendation:
Jeff Barfield, P&D Technologies, 401W. "A" Street, San Diego, planners for
the applicant.
Council requested the consultant preparing the EIR confer with the San Dieguito
River Park JPA since this property is in that park's viewshed; explore a recla-
mation fee for projects; add a study regarding use of reclaimed water to the
EIR; and look at the slope study very carefully.
Motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember Higginson, to close the
public hearing and direct staff to send out the Notice of Preparation. Motion
carried unanimously.
ITEM 5
PUBLIC NUISANCE/ADAH LANE
Mayor Goldsmith opened the public hearing. Item introduced by City Manager
Bowersox. Staff report by Director of Planning Services Wright-Quastler. This
hearing is pursuant to Chapter 8.72 of the Poway Municipal Code to determine
whether the substandard conditions on the property are a nuisance and whether to
order their abatement. A tack shed has been illegally used as a living unit
with an illegal sewer hookup and a shallow well with unpotable water.
Approximately 1100 cubic yards of illegal fill dirt has been placed in the
floodway, and there is assorted accumulated junk. Staff recommends the adoption
of a resolution ordering abatement in ten days or it will be done by the city
and a lien placed on the property to recover costs.
Speaking in opposition to staff recommendation:
Vincent Cerna, 132 Theesa Road, San Ysidro, requested thirty days rather
than ten days.

property.
Motion by Councilmember Higglnson, seconded by Councilmember Emery, to close the
public hearing and adopt Resolution No. 91-082, entitled, "A Resolution of the

ITEM 6
SPA 84-01L
APPLICANT: ALLEN JAFFE
Mayor Goldsmith opened the public hearing. Item introduced by City Manager
Bowersox. Staff report by Director of Planning Services Wright-Quastler. This
is an amendment to the South Poway Specific Plan to allow air space industrial
condominiums in the Industrial Park. The Specific Plan is silent on their use
and this would permit them. Staff proposes that tentative and final maps not be
required since South Poway is recently subdivided and has all the required
public improvements. The second page of the resolution needs amendment to add
"final maps" and at the end of that sentence add "unless waived pursuant to
Subdivision Map Act Section 66428."
There was no one present wishing to speak.
Motion by Councilmember Higginson, seconded by Councilmember Emery, to close the
public hearing and adopt Resolution No. 91-083, entitled, "A Resolution of the

ITEM 9
DRAFT UPDATED GENERAL PLAN
Mayor Goldsmith opened the public hearing. Item introduced by City Manager
Bowersox. There was a mix-up in the noticing regarding the dates various
elements would be discussed and this date was originally set for the housing
element. As a result, the Assistant City Attorney has recommended that public
testimony can be taken on any portion of the draft at this, and subsequent,
meetings.
Director of Planning Services Wright-Quastler pointed out the differences in the
updated land use element: 1} changes in the Land Use Compatibility Matrix to
reflect existing conditions; 2) deletion of the Open Space {OS} zone and addi-
tion of the Open Space-Resource Management {OS-RM} and Public Facilities {PF)
zones which are added to the existing Open Space-Recreation {OS-R} zone; 3}
deletion of the Manufacturing Park {MP) zone; 4) establishing the Affordable
Housing {AH} overlay; and 5} establishing the Prominent Ridgeline {PR) zone.
Properties to be recommended for the overlays have not been determined. The
only properties recommended for rezoning are the 6,00D square foot properties
along Brighton Avenue which are currently split zoned, half coFimmlercial-general
and half residential. The recommendation is to make them all residential.

Page 6 - CITY OF POWAY - July 30, 1991
There was no one present wishing to speak.
Following discussion, motion by Councilmember McIntyre, seconded by Council-
member Emery, to change the "C" and "P" in the compatibility matrix since their
meaning is opposite to the "C" and "P" in the Zoning Code; and be more specific
regarding allowed commercial uses in the OS-R zone. Motion carried unanimously.
Councilmember Emery asked staff to investigate an element dealing with elec-
tronics that he had learned about at the Mayor and Council Forum recently. City
Manager Bowersox stated this could be added at a future General Plan Amendment
hearing.
Motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember Higginson to continue
consideration of the Draft Updated General Plan to August 27, 1991. Motion
carried unanimously.

CITY MANAGER ITEMS

reduction for the week and 32% for the month.
MAYOR
26, A)
Councilmember Emery reported on the Metropolitan Transit Development
Board meeting of July 25, 1991.
B)
Councllmember Emery expressed concern regarding the cuts being
discussed in the Sheriff's special services such as ASTREA and what
affect this will have on our contract for law enforcement.
City Manager Bowersox stated that the special services are funded
through the County's general property tax revenue and a part of the
last negotiation for law enforcement contract was a commitment from the
county that they would identify those services that benefit contract
cities only. Contract city citizens are currently paying twice,
through property taxes and through the contract cost. The city mana-
gers of contract cities will be recommending a joint study on law
enforcement alternatives if the Board of Supervisors does not resolve
this issue.
Following discussion, motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by
Councilmember Snesko to authorize the Mayor to communicate with the
Mayors in other contract cities to discuss exploring options for law
enforcement. Motion carried unanimously.
c)
Councilmember Emery expressed concern regarding having fireworks at
Lake Poway, as was discussed for the next Fourth of July celebration,
because of its proximity to the Blue Sky Ranch Nature Preserve and
suggested the committee look at other sites. Council concurred.
27. A)
Since the Councilmembers were not ready with their nominations to the
Redevelopment and Housing Advisory Committee, this item will be on the
August 6, 1991 agenda.
4273
Page g - CITY OF POWAY - July 30, 1991
B)
Mayor Goldsmith stated that CalTrans has made some commitment towards
the 1-15 on-ramp metering and its impact on Poway Road, however, the

technical definition. Council concurred that the City Engineer con-
tinue to work with CalTrans to define their commitment and report back
to Council.
29. Councilmember McIntyre reported that the Library Advisory Con~ittee will be
meeting next week with David Smith, the consultant, to begin work on the
