A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF POWAY, CALIFORNIA
APPROVING MINOR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW APPLICATION (MDRA) 05-29
ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NUMBER 275-270-35
WHEREAS, MDRA 05-29; F F & E II Trust/Larry Smith, Applicant, requests
approval to grade Lot 47 of Green Valley Estates (Map 12466) to create a residential
building pad and a recreational court pad. The property is located at 13651 Paseo De
La Huerta, within the Rural Residential B zone, and
WHEREAS, on November 15, 2005, the City Council held a duly advertised
public hearing to solicit comments from the public, both pro and con, relative to this
application.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Poway
as follows:
Section 1: The City Council has considered the Environmental Initial Study (EIS),
Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), and associated Mitigation Monitoring Program
shown as Exhibit A of this Resolution for MDRA 05-29. The subject EIS and MND
documentation are fully incorporated herein by this reference. The City Council finds,
on the basis of the whole record before it, that there is no substantial evidence the
project will have a significant impact on the environment, that the mitigation measures
contained in the EIS and Exhibit A hereof will mitigate potentially significant impacts to a
less than significant level, and that the MND reflects the independent judgment and
analysis of the City. The City Council hereby approves the MND and the associated
Mitigation Monitoring Program attached to this Resolution as Exhibit A.
Section 2: Pursuant to the City of Poway Habitat Conservation Plan (Poway HCP),
biological survey reports prepared by REC Consultants, Inc. dated August 2000, May
2005, September 19, 2005 and October 20, 2005, were submitted for the property.
Development of the site will impact approximately 0.08 acres of Disturbed Willow
Riparian Woodland, 0.2 acres of Disturbed Willow Riparian Scrub, 0.16 acres of
Freshwater Marsh and 0.47 acres of Coastal Sage Scrub habitat located on property
that is outside of the Mitigation Area of the Poway HCP. In accordance with the Poway
HCP, the required findings for approval of the proposed mitigation for the removal of the
referenced habitat for MDRA 05-29 are as follows:
A. The proposed project is outside of the Mitigation Area of the Poway HCP,
however the onsite stream is part of a vital urban riparian corridor. The mitigation
is consistent with and furthers the implementing objectives of the Poway HCP in
that the applicant will mitigate impacts to 0.08-acres Disturbed Willow Riparian
Woodland, 0.2 acres of Disturbed Willow Riparian Scrub, 0.16 acres of Disturbed
Freshwater Marsh (Mitigation will not be required for Freshwater Marsh habitat if
Resolution No. P-05-73
Page 2
the Army Corps of Engineers determines that the man-induced marsh/desiltation
basin is not classified as a wetland) and 0.47 acres of Coastal Sage Scrub
habitat at a 1:1 ratio. Said mitigation will be accomplished through planting the
realigned channel with riparian type vegetation and dedication of a Biological
Conservation Easement Deed over said realigned and revegetated channel
thereby preserving comparable, unencumbered habitat of equal or greater
conservation value located outside of the HCP Mitigation Area, but along a vital
riparian corridor. Mitigation for project impacts to Coastal Sage Scrub and any
riparian habitat that cannot be mitigated onsite may be accomplished through
offsite dedication of a Biological Conservation Easement Deed over comparable,
unencumbered habitat or payment of a Habitat Mitigation In-Lieu Fee at the
established rate. Presently, the rate is $10,000/acre.
B. Preservation of such habitat within the Mitigation Area and the creation of
wetland habitat along a key urban riparian corridor will contribute toward the
building of the ultimate total Mitigation Area preserve system of the HCP.
Therefore, such habitat preservation will serve to enhance the long-term viability
and function of the preserve system.
C. The habitat preserved through onsite and offsite dedication, or purchased by
Habitat Mitigation In-Lieu Fees paid will be to the long-term benefit of the PSHCP
covered species and their habitats in that the recordation of a Biological
Conservation Easement Deed over undisturbed and unencumbered habitat (See
"A" above) and/or the payment of In-Lieu Fees, will promote a meaningful
addition to the assembly of a viable regional system of uninterrupted natural
habitat resources, habitat linkages, buffers, and wildlife corridor.
D. The preserved habitat will foster the incremental implementation of the PSHCP in
an effective and efficient manner in that the preservation of off-site conservation
area(s) will be within an identified Mitigation Area within the City, and/or the
payment of In-Lieu Fees will likewise contribute towards, assembling the total
Mitigation Area preserve system. In addition the creation and preservation of
onsite wetland habitat along a vital urban riparian corridor outside of the
Mitigation Area will enhance the biological resources through out the City.
E. The preserved habitat will not result in a negative fiscal impact with regard to the
successful implementation of the PSHCP as the subject mitigation lands will be
dedicated to the City of Poway in fee title and/or placed within permanent public
Biological Conservation Easement Deeds or In-Lieu Fees will be paid.
Section 3: The findings, in accordance with Section 17.52 of the Poway Municipal
Code, to approve Minor Development Review Application 05-29, as shown on the
conceptual grading plan dated October 4, 2005, and the partial revised conceptual
grading plan dated October 25, 2005, on file with the Planning Division, are made as
follows:
Resolution No. P-05-73
Page 3
A. That the approved project is consistent with the General Plan as it proposes the
grading of a residential lot in preparation for future construction of a single-family
residence on property that is designated for rural residential use. Therefore, the
proposed use respects the interdependence of land values and aesthetics to the
benefit of the City; and
B. That the approved project will not have an adverse affect on the aesthetics,
health, safety, or architecturally related impact upon adjoining properties, as the
grading design is consistent with surrounding residential development.
Therefore, the proposed design, size, and scale of the project is compatible with
and will not adversely affect, or be materially detrimental to adjacent uses,
residents, buildings, structures, or natural resources; and
C. That the granting of the Minor Development Review Application would not be
materially detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare since the proposed
use will complete improvements as deemed necessary; and
D. That the approved development encourages the orderly and harmonious
appearance of structures and property within the City as the neighboring
properties consist of rural residential estate lots. Therefore, the proposed
development respects the public concerns for the aesthetics of development; and
E. That the proposed use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or
welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity nor be
contrary to the adopted General Plan; and
F. That the proposed development will comply with each of the applicable
provisions of the Zoning Ordinance and the General Plan.
Section 4: The City Council hereby approves Minor Development Review Application
05-29 to allow grading of Lot 47 of Green Valley Estates to create a residential building
pad and recreational court pad on the property located at 13651 Paseo De La Huerta,

Resolution No. P-05-73
Page 6
6. The applicant shall pay all applicable engineering, plan checking, permit,
and inspection fees.
7. Grading securities in the form of a performance bond and a cash deposit,
or a letter of credit shall be posted with the City prior to grading plan
approval. A minimum $2,000 cash security deposit is required.
8. The applicant shall attend a pre-construction meeting, at which time they
shall present an Action Plan that identifies measures to be implemented
during construction to address erosion, sediment, and pollutant control.
Compliance for sediment control shall be provided using the following
guidelines, as directed by the project Engineering Inspector:
a. Provision of an onsite desilting basin with a volume based on 3,600
cubic feet per tributary acre drained.
b. Covering of all flat areas with approved mulch.
c. Installation of an earthen or gravel bag berm that retains 3 inches of
water over all disturbed areas prior to discharge, effectively creating
a de-silting basin from the pad.
9. The subject property is located outside of the Poway Subarea Habitat
Conservation Plan (PSHCP) Mitigation Area. Pursuant to Subsection 4,
Section 76 of the 1987 Army Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation
Manual, the project biologist advises that the reported 0.16 acres of on-
site freshwater marsh area is a result of the man-made desiltation basin.
Therefore the marsh habitat could be classified as a "man-induced
wetland" and should not be delineated as wetlands per the referenced
subsection. In the event the applicant is able to obtain written
concurrence from the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) classifying the
referenced freshwater marsh/desiltation basin area as man-induced
wetland and not subject to mitigation, the City of Poway will not require
mitigation for project impacts to the 0.16 acres of freshwater marsh
habitat. If written concurrence cannot be obtained from the ACOE, the
project will be required to provide mitigation at a minimum 1:1 ratio for the
0.16 acres of freshwater marsh habitat impacts. Said mitigation could be
accomplished through on-site or off-site dedication of a Biological
Conservation Easement over comparable quality, unencumbered fresh
water marsh habitat.
10. The subject property is located outside of the Poway Subarea Habitat
Conservation Plan (PSHCP) Mitigation Area; however because the on-site
stream is part of a vital urban riparian corridor, onsite and offsite
dedication of a Biological Conservation Easement for 0.28 acres of re-
created wetland riparian habitat is acceptable as mitigation for the project
Resolution No. P-05-73
Page 7
impacts to riparian habitat (0.08 acres of willow riparian woodland, 0.20
acres of willow riparian scrub). In addition, off-site dedication of 0.47
acres of CSS habitat of equal or greater conservation value is required for
project impacts to CSS habitat (based on project impacts to CSS habitat
as reported in the October 2, 2005 Project Biology Report). Said off-site
dedication shall require the applicant to dedicate 0.47 acres of CSS
habitat in a Biological Conservation Easement. Said Conservation
Easement shall be approved by the Director of Development Services,
and shall be notarized and recorded with the County of San Diego at the
cost of the applicant. In compliance with the PSHCP, the City shall
SUbsequently re-zone the mitigation land to Open Space-Resource
Management to insure its permanent preservation. In lieu of the off-site
dedication of CSS habitat, the applicant may opt to complete the
mitigation requirement for the CSS habitat project impacts through
payment of a Habitat Mitigation In-Lieu Fee. Presently, the Habitat
Mitigation In-Lieu Fee is $10,000/acre. In compliance with the PSHCP,
the City shall subsequently rezone any dedication of mitigation land to
Open Space-Resource Management to insure its permanent preservation.
11. In accordance with Condition H of the poway HCP Incidental Take Permit,
a take of active California Gnatcatcher nests, which includes harassment
of the bird due to grading noise and vibrations from February 15 through
July 1, is not permitted. Therefore, grading during this time frame will only
be permitted subject to the following conditions having been met to the
satisfaction of the Director.
The applicant is hereby advised that, during grading, if active nests are
found within 500 feet of the grading, the grading activity shall be stopped
until such time as mitigation measures, to the satisfaction of the City and
the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS,) are implemented.
There is no guarantee that grading will be allowed to resume.
a. Before issuance of a Clearing/Grading Permit, if grading or clearing
is to occur between February 15 and July 1, the applicant shall
provide to the Planning Division a letter from a qualified biologist
retained by the applicant, with a scope of work for a CSS habitat
and Gnatcatcher Survey, and a report for the area to be cleared
and/or graded and CSS habitat areas within 500-feet of such area.
The biologist shall contact the USFWS to determine the appropriate
survey methodology. The purpose of the survey is to determine if
any active Gnatcatcher nests are located in the area to be cleared
or graded, or in CSS habitat within 500 feet of such area. To be
considered qualified the biologist must provide the City with a copy
of a valid Gnatcatcher Recovery Permit from the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS).
Resolution No. P-05-73
Page 8
b. The scope of work shall explain the survey methodology for the
biological survey and the proposed Gnatcatcher nest monitoring
activities during the clearing/grading operation.
c. Should the report show, to the satisfaction of the Director of
Development Services, that Gnatcatcher nests are not present
within the area to be graded/cleared, or within CSS habitat located
within 500 feet of said area, approval may be granted to commence
clearing/grading within the Gnatcatcher nesting season from
Febnuary 15 through July 1.
d. If Gnatcatchers are present within the area to be graded/cleared, or
within CSS habitat located within 500 feet of said area, no grading
will be allowed during this time.
e. The biologist must attend the City's pre-construction meeting for the
project and must be present on-site during all clearing/grading
activities to monitor that the clearing/grading activities stay within
the designated limits. During this period, the biologist shall also
monitor and survey the habitat, on a daily basis, within the area to
be cleared/graded and any habitat within 500 feet of said area for
any evidence that a Gnatcatcher nest(s) exists or is being built.
Weekly monitoring summaries shall be submitted to the Planning
Division. Should evidence of a Gnatcatcher nest(s) be discovered,
the grading operation shall cease in that area and be directed away
from the Gnatcatcher nest(s) to a location greater than 500 feet
away from the nest(s). If grading is required to stop due to the
presence of active nests, the applicant shall be required to provide
erosion control to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. This
paragraph must be included as a note on the cover sheet of the
clearing/grading plan.
f. Upon completion of the clearing/grading activities, the applicant's
biologist shall submit to the Director of Development Services a
biological monitoring report summarizing the daily observations of
the biologist, including whether any Gnatcatchers or evidence of
active Gnatcatcher nests were present during clearing and grading
activities within the area and any habitat within 500 feet of said
area.
12. At a minimum, all protected areas, as shown on the grading plan, shall be
staked by a licensed surveyor, and delineated with lathe and ribbon. The
applicant shall have said staking inspected by the Engineering Inspector

MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM
FOR MORA 05.29 - Lot 47 Green Valley Estates
APN 275.270.35
Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code requires that pUblic agencies "adopt a reporting
or monitoring program for the changes which it has adopted or made a condition of project
approval in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment. The reporting or
monitoring program shall be designated to ensure compliance during project implementation."
This mitigation monitoring program has been prepared in accordance with Section 21081.6 of
the Public Resources Code.
Non-compliance with any of these conditions, as identified by City staff or a designated monitor,
shall result in issuance of a cease and desist order for all construction activities. The order shall
remain in effect until compliance is assured. Non-compliance situations, which may occur
subsequent to project construction, will be addressed on a case-by-case basis and may be
subject to penalties according to the City of Poway Municipal Code. When phasing of
development has been established, it may be necessary for this Monitoring Program to be
amended, with City approval.

the Poway Subarea Habitat grading permit
Conservation Plan (PSHCP) Mitigation
Area. Pursuant to Subsection 4, Section
76 of the 1987 Army Corps of Engineers
Wetlands Delineation Manual, the project
biologist advises that the reported 0.16
acres of on-site freshwater marsh area is
a result of the man-made desiltation
basin. Therefore the marsh habitat could
be classified as a "man-induced:
wetland" and should not be delineated as
wetlands per the referenced subsection.
In the event the applicant is able to
obtain written concurrence from the Army
Corps of Engineers (ACOE) classifying
the referenced freshwater marsh/desilta-
tion basin area as man-induced wetland
and not subject to mitigation, the City of
Poway will not require mitigation for
project impacts to the 0.16 acres of
freshwater marsh habitat. If written
concurrence cannot be obtained from the
ACOE, the project will be required to
provide mitigation at a minimum 1:1 ratio
for the 0.16 acres of freshwater marsh
habitat impacts. Said mitigation could be
accomplished through on-site or off-site
dedication of a Biological Conservation
Easement over comparable quality,
unencumbered fresh water marsh
habitat.

The subject property is located outside Prior to Applicant
of the Poway Subarea Habitat grading permit
Conservation Plan (PSHCP) Mitigation
Area; however because the on-site
stream is part of a vital urban riparian
corridor, onsite and offsite dedication of
a Biological Conservation Easement for
0.28 acres of re-created wetland riparian
habitat is acceptable as mitigation for the
project impacts to riparian habitat (0.08

acres of willow riparian woodland, 0.20
acres of willow riparian scrub). In
addition, off-site dedication of 0.47 acres
of CSS habitat of equal or greater
conservation value is required for project
impacts to CSS habitat. Said off-site
dedication shall require the applicant to
dedicate 0.47 acres of CSS habitat in a
Biological Conservation Easement. Said
Conservation Easement shall be
approved by the Director of
Development Services, and shall be
notarized and recorded with the County
of San Diego at the cost of the applicant.
In compliance with the PSHCP, the City
shall subsequently re-zone the mitigation
land to Open Space-Resource
Management to insure its permanent
preservation. In lieu of the off-site
dedication of CSS habitat, the applicant
may opt to complete the mitigation
requirement for the CSS habitat project
impacts through payment of a Habitat
Mitigation In-Lieu Fee. Presently, the
Habitat Mitigation In-Lieu Fee is
$10,000/acre.

the banks of the realigned creek channel.
A minimum 15-foot-wide buffer shall be
provided adjacent to the southerly side of
the realigned channel bank. An Open
Space Easement shall be dedicated to
the City over the bank buffer areas.
