LIVE ENTERTAINMENT IN COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICTS
City Manager Bowersox presented the staff report. On Noyember 15, 2005, the City Council
opened the public hearing introducing Ordinance No. 626 and 627. All Councilmembers were
present at the first reading. No public testimony was given at that time. The Poway
Municipal Code currently allows live entertainment in the Commercial Office (CO), Community
Business (CB), and Commercial General (CG) zones with a Conditional Use Permit (CUP)
and in the Town Center (TC) zone with a Minor Conditional Use Permit (MCUP). This Zoning
Ordinance Amendment is proposed to establish a new definition of live entertainment, modify
the definition of eating and drinking establishments, and modify the use matrix to allow live
entertainment in the CO, CB, CG, and NGC zones in a MCUP, which would be consistent
with the requirement in the TC zone. The amendment proposed to the Specific Plan 98-01,
would regulate the allowable uses within the commercial center at the southeast corner of
Community Road and Hilleary Place that includes Wal-Mart and the commercial building at
the southeast corner of Hilleary Place and Community Road. The amendment would allow
live entertainment with a MCUP rather than a CUP to be consistent with the proposed Zoning
Ordinance Amendment.
There was no one present wishing to speak.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
ITEM 2 (0930-90)
2005 URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
Mayor Cafagna opened the public hearing. City Manager Bowersox presented the staff
report. The California Water Code requires urban water suppliers to update their Urban
Water Management Plan (UWMP) every five years to describe and evaluate water use trends
and projected water demand and supply over the next 20 years. The City is a member
agency of the San Diego County Water Authority, which analyzes regional water supply and
demand and prepares its own UWMP. The UWMP is a planning document for the City and
regional decision makers, as well as providing the public with information about the City's
water utility.
There was no one present wishing to speak.
Motion by Deputy Mayor Emery, seconded by Councilmember Rexford, to close the public
hearing and adopt Resolution No. 05-096, entitled: "A Resolution of the City Council of the
City of Poway, California Adopting the City of Poway's 2005 Urban Water Management Plan
and Rescinding Resolution No. 00-118." Motion carried unanimously.

Page 4- CITY OF POWAY - November 29,2005
Mayor Cafagna opened the public hearing. City Manager Bowersox and City Planner Brindle
presented the staff report. This is a request for approval of Phase I of a 2-phase expansion
project. Phase I involves an attached addition of a 5-story, 172,OOO-square-foot building to
the existing hospital; a 1 ,200-space, 3-story parking structure; and miscellaneous on- and off-
site improvements. Approval for Phase II, which consists of an additional attached 5-story
building and other hospital additions totaling approximately 185,000 square feet in area, will
be requested at a future date. The proposed 32-foot-tall parking structure would comply with
the 35-foot height limit; however, since the parking structure would have a 3rd level parking on
the roof, the rooftop parking area would not comply with the General Plan. Therefore, a
Zoning Ordinance Amendment is being requested by the Hospital to amend Section
17.21.050.H of the Poway Municipal Code permitting a 3-story parking structure to
accommodate the on-site parking needs of the expanded Hospital. In addition, the
amendment also redefines the term "lot coverage" for master planned commercial, industrial,
or institutional projects that may encompass multiple lots.
Jim Flynn, representing Palomar/Pomerado Health, responded to questions by the Council
concerning public versus private access to the service entrance off of Pomerado Road.
Mike Shanahan, Director of Facilities for Palomar/Pomerado Health, also responded to
questions pertaining to the service entrance.
Louis Tooch of Poway inquired as to whether any improvements would be done on the City of
San Diego side and if Poway had received authorization to use mitigated funds.
Barbara Lerma of Poway spoke in support of the expansion.
Motion by Deputy Mayor Emery, seconded by Councilmember Rexford to waive further
reading, approve the introduction of Ordinance No. 628 and continue the public hearing to
December 13, 2005 for adoption of the Ordinance and Resolutions. Motion carried
unanimously.

At this point, Council needs to determine at what point in time they would like the buildings to
represent, either pre- 1954, which would be four separate buildings, or post 1954 where the
existing miscellaneous additions have been removed, with the bridging of the roof between
the Lodge and Topsy's.
Dee Fleischman of Poway spoke in fayor of the restoration.
Motion by Deputy Mayor Emery, seconded by Councilmember Rexford to refer the item back
to staff to prepare a plan for restoring the building with the style of the time, making the

and staff to come up with a plan that would be to the best interest of Poway as a whole.
Motion carried unanimously.

POWAY OAK MONUMENT
City Manager Bowersox presented the staff report. As a tribute to the tree that inspired the

Reserve adjacent to the parking area. The creative display will include a section of the tree
trunk set at ground level on top of a colorized concrete replica on the cross-section of the
trunk. Two artistic interpretive signs will describe the tree, history and environmental facts.
The Poway Oak Monument will add an interesting feature and will be in harmony with the
natural setting visited by thousands of people each year.

and to actively involve Poway residents, parents, educators, coaches, city leaders, religious
leaders, business leaders, and other community leaders in an on-going dialogue about ways
the community can foster balance between family time and other valuable activities.
