Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. On August 20, 1991, the City Council
adopted Planning Resolution P-91-55 denying Tentative Parcel Map 91-09, a two
parcel divison of a 25,150 square foot parcel at 17543 Boca Raton Lane because
findings could not be made that the design was consistent with the General Plan
and that the site was suitable for the density and type of development proposed.

the Council to grant a rehearing if the applicant presents new evidence not

ITEM 7.2
POMERADO WATER RECLAMATION FACILITY EIR
TRANSFER RESPONSIBILITY TO CITY OF SAN DIEGO
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. The City of San Diego has raised several
issues in the draft environmental impact report for the Pomerado Water
Reclamation Facility, particularly the project description and alternative site
analysis. Staff recommends that the City of Poway acknowledge the City of San
Diego as an appropriate lead agency for preparing the EIR as part of the Clean
Water Program, particularly as it was proposed that they take over the project
after certification of the EIR. The Clean Water Program is presently hiring a
consultant to do the environmental work for the entire county-wide program and
would be available to prepare the EIR with San Diego as the lead agency. Staff
further recommends direction to negotiate an agreement with the City of San
Diego to include assurances that the project will be completed expeditiously
and guaranteeing Poway an adequate wastewater treatment capacity and supply of
reclaimed water.
Mayor Goldsmith read a Joint statement from San Diego Councilmember Behr and
himself regarding the project.
Council requested that Pardee Development notify all buyers in the Sabre Springs
project, including those north of Poway Road, of the proposed project, and that
when the City of San Diego holds the scoping hearing for the EIR, all residents
of Sabre Springs be noticed.
Motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember Higginson, to adopt
staff recommendation. Motion carried unanimously.
ITEM 15.2
PAGUAY REDEVELOPMENT PLAN UPDATE
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. The Paguay Redevelopment Plan was
adopted in December, 1983 and contained a list of capital improvement projects
benefitting the Redevelopment Plan area. Many of those projects have been
completed, others have changed in scope and cost, and new ones have been iden-
tified. It is essential to have good cost estimates for the projects to help in
financial planning for the life of the Agency. Staff recommends appropriating
$35,000 for BSI Consultants Inc., to prepare the update.
Councllmember McIntyre asked about Council input into the "wish list" of
projects; new "wish list" from the Poway Unified School District; and why
economic revitalization was not included in the Plan as a category for projects.
4314
Page 5 - CITY OF POWAY - September 10, 1991
City Manager Bowersox stated he has met with PUSD Superintendent and they are
preparing a new "wish list." He suggested that the October 3 workshop include
an item for the City Council to talk about their "wish lists" since the goals
and objectives workshop is not until October 31.
Following discussion, motion by Councilmember McIntyre, seconded by Council-
member Emery, to appropriate $35,000 from the Redevelopment Agency
unappropriated reserve to Special Studies; to add economic revitalization as a
category for projects; and to receive input from the City Council at the October
3 workshop regarding their "wish list" for redevelopment projects. Motion
carried unanimously.
ITEM 16
CITY MANAGER ITEMS
City Manager Bowersox stated that water conservation efforts for the first nine
days of the month resulted in a 27% savings.
Mayor Goldsmith stated he and Councilmember Snesko had submitted their ideas to
staff for the hearing on water rates next week and suggested if the other
Councilmembers had input, they give it to staff for analysis prior to the
meeting.
ITEM 17
CITY ATTORNEY ITEMS
City Attorney Eckis requested a closed session pursuant to Government Code
Section 54956.8 to instruct the city's negotiator, City Manager Bowersox or his
designee, regarding the acquisition of real property at Aubrey and Midland owned

21.
22. A)
Mayor Goldsmith reported on the meeting held last week regarding State Route
125 attended by representatives from the cities of Poway and Santee,
CalTrans and state legislators. They will be petitioning the California
Transportation Commission to fund preparation of the environmental impact
report. Representative Steve Peace has introduced legislation to allow this
road to be a toll road, subject to approval of the Santee and Poway City
Councils.
B)
C)
Councilmember McIntyre asked if the October 31 workshop could be
rescheduled since it is Halloween.
Councilmember Snesko stated that CalTrans has said they do not have to
do an EIR on the 1-15/Poway Road ramp metering project since the State
Department of Planning & Research issued a categorical exemption for
all ramp metering projects in California. He asked City Attorney Eckis
to research whether they should be doing an EIR. Council concurred.
Councllmember Snesko stated the parking at the Community Park is not
adequate when there are several events going on such as bingo, a
wedding, and swimming. He suggested the city purchase one or two acres
of the Western Lumber site for parking. City Manager Bowersox
suggested one of the problems is people's unwillingness to walk from
the Bowron Road lot. He also stated we should be encouraging car
pooling and public transit.
Following discussion, motion by Councllmember Snekso, seconded by
Councilmember McIntyre to direct staff to report back on how we can
better accommodate the parking demands, particularly for Poway Valley
Senior Citizens. Motion carried unanimously.
Councilmember Snesko suggested that letterhead with the individual
Councilmembers' name, rather than the entire Council, be used.
Following discussion, motion by Councilmember Snesko, seconded by
Councilmember Higginson to allow a Councilmember to have their own
letterhead at city expense. Motion carried 4-1 with Councilmember
Emery voting "no."
