as follows:
Resolution No. P-05-80
Page 2
Section 1: Pomerado Hospital has acted as the Lead Agency as provided under the
California Environmental Quality Act for the purposes of conducting an environmental
review of the project, and the City of Poway is the Responsible Agency for approving the
project. The City Council has considered the Environmental Initial Study (EIS), Mitigated
Negative Declaration (MND), and associated Mitigation Monitoring Program adopted by
the Pomerado Hospital Board of Directors on November 15, 2005. The City finds that the
Mitigated Negative Declaration is adequate for use by the City in its role of Responsible
Agency. 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 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 associated
Mitigation Monitoring Program attached to this Resolution as Exhibit A.
Section 2: Pursuant to the City of Poway Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP), a biological
report, prepared by Helix Environmental Planning on March 30, 2005, was submitted for
the property. Project development will impact 2.7 acres of Diegan coastal sage scrub
(CSS), 0.2 acres of southern mixed chaparral, and 0.3 acres of Chamise chaparral that is
on a portion of the site that is inside the Mitigation Area, the Biological Core and Linkages
Area, and the Proposed Resource Protection Area (PRPA) 10 of the HCP. In accordance
with the HCP, the required findings for approval of the proposed mitigation for the removal
of habitat for the project are as follows:
A. A portion of the project site is inside of the Mitigation Area and PRPA 10 of the
Poway HCP. Per the HCP, habitat impact mitigation is required at the rate of
2:1 for Diegan costal sage scrub and 1:1 for southern mixed chaparral and Chamise
chaparral. Accordingly, 5.4 acres is the required mitigation for the Diegan coastal
sage scrub and 0.5 acre is the required mitigation for the chaparral, for an overall
total of 5.9 acres. 5.9 acres of habitat on the site shall be put into a Biological
Conservation Easement (BCE). This habitat is contiguous to other CSS and
southern mixed chaparral habitat to the northeast of the site, also in the PRPA 10,
that is already in a BCE. Therefore, the mitigation is consistent with and furthers the
implementing objectives of the Poway HCP.
B. Preservation of such habitat within the Mitigation Area 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 on-site preservation will be to the long-term benefit
of the Poway Subarea Habitat Conservation Plan (PSHCP) covered species and
their habitats in that the recordation of a Biological Conservation Easement Deed
will promote a meaningful addition to the assembly of a viable regional system of
uninterrupted natural habitat resources, habitat linkages, buffers, and wildlife
corridors.
Resolution No. P-05-80
Page 3
D. The preserved habitat will foster the incremental implementation of the PSHCP in
an effective and efficient manner in that the preservation of on-site habitat will be
within the Mitigation Area and PRPA 10 within the City, and will contribute towards
assembling the total Mitigation Area preserve system.
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 a permanent
Biological Conservation Easement Deed.
Section 3: The findings, in accordance with the State Subdivision Map Act (Government
Code Section 66410, et seq.) for Tentative Parcel Map 05-04, are made as follows:
A. The Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with the General Plan in that it complies
with the minimum lot size standards contained in the General Plan and Poway
Municipal Code.
B. The design and improvements required of the Tentative Parcel Map are consistent
with the General Plan, in that road and water line improvements comply with City
design standards.
C. The site is physically suitable for the type of development and the density proposed
in that the subdivision complies with the minimum lot size standards of
the General Plan and Poway Municipal Code.
D. The design of the Tentative Parcel Map is not likely to cause substantial
environmental damage and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat
in that the anticipated impacts to biological resources will be mitigated to a level of
insignificance.
E. The Tentative Parcel Map is not likely to cause serious public health problems as
City water service, in a looped system, will be provided to the site by the developer
and will be designed to comply with City standards.
F. The design of the Tentative Parcel Map will not conflict with any easement by the
public at large, now of record, for access through or use of the property within the
proposed subdivision.
Section 4: The findings in accordance with Government Code Section 66020 for the
public improvements are made as follows:
A. The design and improvements of the proposed development are consistent with all
elements of the General Plan, as well as City Ordinances, because all necessary
services and facilities will be available to serve the project. The construction of
public improvements is needed as a result of the proposed development to protect
the public health, safety and welfare as identified below:
Resolution No. P-05-80

6. Access to the site will be provided in accordance with City standards and to
ensure adequate emergency access.
Section 5: The findings, in accordance with Section 17.52 of the Poway Municipal
Code, for DR 04-11 are made as follows:
A. That the project is consistent with the Poway General Plan in that it involves the
construction of a 5-story addition to the existing 5-story hospital as provided for in
the General Plan, and the 3-story parking structure is consistent with the General
Plan, as amended under General Plan Amendment 05-04, which provides for a
3-story parking structure on the site.
B. That the project will not have an adverse health, safety, or aesthetic impact upon
adjoining properties in that the project's infrastructure improvements, grading, and
construction are in full compliance with the Poway Municipal Code.
C. That the development encourages the orderly and harmonious appearance of
structures and property within the City as the surrounding properties consist of a
mix of medical commercial, institutional, and medium density residential land uses.
Section 6: The findings, in accordance with Section 17.48 of the Poway Municipal
Code, for CUP 92-02M and MCUP 05-05 are made as follows:
A. The proposed location, size, design, and operating characteristics ofthe project are
in accord with the title and purpose of Chapter 17.48 of the Poway Municipal Code
(Conditional Use Permit Regulations), the Poway General Plan, and the
development policies and standards of the City, in that out-patient services and
medical offices are permitted on the site with the approval of a Minor Conditional
Use Permit and the use of temporary structures on the site are necessary during
construction of the expansion project and will be removed from the site when the
project is completed.
Resolution No. P-05-80
Page 5
B. The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the project will be
compatible with, and will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to,
adjacent uses, buildings, or structures.
C. The proposed project will be in scale, bulk coverage and density consistent with
adjacent uses in that it is an addition to an existing hospital.
D. There are adequate public facilities, services, and utilities to serve the project with
the provision of improvements as required by the Conditions of Approval.
E. There will not be a harmful effect upon the desirable surrounding property
characteristics in that the project is located on a site with a developed hospital.
F. The generation of traffic will not adversely impact the capacity and physical
character of the surrounding streets and/or the Circulation Element of the General
Plan with the provision of on- and off-site circulation improvements as required by
the Conditions of Approval.
G. The site is suitable for the type and intensity of the proposed development in that
the project is consistent with surrounding medical and health related businesses.
H. There will not be significant harmful effects upon environmental quality or natural
resources in that the proposed project will mitigate impacts to natural habitat
pursuant to the Poway Subarea Habitat Conservation Plan.
I. The proposed project will comply with each of the applicable provisions of the
Zoning Ordinance and the General Plan.
Section 7: The findings, in accordance with Section 17.50.050 of the Poway Municipal
Code, to approve Variance 05-13 to allow retaining walls up to 22 feet in height in
conjunction with construction of the parking structure and the building are made as follows:
A. That there are special circumstances applicable to the property and because of
this, the strict application of the Zoning Ordinance deprives the property of privileges
enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity with the identical zoning classification in
that the subject site is constrained with sloping topography and flatter more
developable property is necessary in order to accommodate the project's required
on-site parking and a necessary 2 way drive aisle access to the OSP building
entrance; and,
B. Granting the Variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right enjoyed by other property owners in the same vicinity and
not afforded to the property for which the Variance is sought because the Variance
will allow the development potential appropriate to a site zoned as Hospital
Campus; and,
Resolution No. P-05-80
Page 6
C. Granting the Variance would not be materially detrimental to the public health,
safety, or welfare in the vicinity in that the proposed retaining walls will not be readily
visible to the public and will not be visible from a public right-of-way or adjacent
properties; and,
D. That the granting of this Variance does not constitute a special privilege that is
inconsistent with the limitation upon other properties in the vicinity and zone
because the subject site is the only property zoned Hospital Campus in the City;
and,
E. Granting the Variance would not allow a use or activity not otherwise expressly
authorized by the zone because the retaining wall is to be built in conjunction with a
parking structure which is an allowable use in the Hospital Campus zone; and
F. That the proposed Variance will be compatible with the City's General Plan because
the use is permitted in the zone.
Section 8: The City Council hereby approves Phase I of the Pomerado Hospital
expansion consisting of the following entitlements: DR 04-11 and MCUP 05-05, consisting
of a 5-story, approximately 172,OOO-square-foot, attached addition to the existing 5-story
