ITEM 6 (203-11)
GENERAL PLAN UPDATE
Director of Planning Services Wright-Quastler stated the changes which were
distributed were primarily a reorganization of material.
Speaking in opposition to staff recommendation:
Mike Fry, 12819 Selma Court
Jerry Hargarten, 13622 Orchard Gate
Bruce Tarzy, 15912 Ranch Hollow Road
Speakers requested that the number of dwelling units on page III-6 in the Land
Use Element be changed to reflect only existing units plus units that would be
generated if undeveloped land were developed at existing zoning. The number
presently assumes that property currently developed below its existing zoning
would be redeveloped to the higher density. They suggested the dwelling unit
number should be 17,300, not 19,800.
The second issue addressed by the speakers was the Open Space-Recreation zone
that could include intensive uses such as a water theme park or a family fun
center. They suggested that this zone should be limited to uses that would be
acceptable in a residential area and another zone, such as Commercial Recreation,
be created for the more intensive uses.
4378
Page 4 - CITY OF POWAY - November 12, ]991
Following discussion, Council concurred with the two suggestions by the speakers.
They also agreed to leave the projected population number out and have only the
dwelling unit number with an explanation of what that number is comprised of.
They also agreed to not zone any property commercial recreation at this time, but
wait for project application to be brought forward.
Council concurred with the following changes suggested by Councilmember McIntyre:
Page II-27, #4, add the location and what the facilities will be. Delete
the last sentence only.
Page II-27, #5, change "resident" to "youth." Add a soccer park as a
concept.
Page VIII-22, under Residential Land Use Inventory, add "for the next 5
years," to the end of the first sentence.
Page VIII-23, add "We recognize that increasing density does not in and of
itself ensure affordability," before the paragraph beginning, "It is of
great concern to the City .... "
5. Add "G" and "H" from page VIII-60 to the table on page VIII-62.
6. Add air quality as a constraint to table on Page VIII-63.
7. Leave the Regional Growth Management Strategy out of Pages I-4 and I-5.

concurred to defer this discussion to next week when the entire Council will be

ITEM 7 (1207-01)
TRANSIT SURVEY RESULTS
Mayor Goldsmith reported that the San Diego City Council had today voted
unanimously to put 1-15 on equal footing with other areas of the city in terms
of transit planning and directed their staff to report back in 30 days on how
this could be accomplished. Motion by Mayor Goldsmith, seconded by
Councilmember Emery to direct our staff to work with the City of San Diego staff,
MTDB and SANDAG in the preparation of this report. Motion carried 3-0 with
Councilmembers Higginson and Snesko absent.
Staff report by Director of Community Services Thomas. In April, 1991, the City
Council authorized SANDAG to conduct a transit survey to determine the level of
use and satisfaction with the four types of service offered in the city.
Telephone and on-board surveys were conducted. The report showed that 45% of the
city's current non-riders would be willing to use public transit if there was
more frequent service. Staff is currently working on several public information
and marketing programs to increase ridership, as well as ways to improve the
service.
Following discussion, Council concurred to receive and file the report.

location. Staff has contracted with an appraiser and the appraisals will be
ready for presentation to the Committee at their December 4 meeting.
Councilmember McIntyre, co-chair of the Library Advisory Committee, stated the
Committee will be ranking the sites and making a report to the City Council on

should be explored.
