ITEM 4 (203-18)
PRE-GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS
City Manager Bowersox stated the purpose of a Pre-GPA is to provide an applicant
a sense of the Council's opinion of a project without having to make a formal
application and pay the attendant fees. The statements made by the Council are
not binding and no decision is made on a project.
Pre-GPA 92-01A
Applicant: Marjorie Ogle
Northeast corner of Midland Road and Aubre¥ Street
Staff report by Director of Planning Services Wright-Quastler. The applicant is
requesting a change from Residential Single Family - 2 to Commercial General for
a 3.01 acre parcel that is in the Old Poway Specific Plan area. Prior to
incorporation this property had been zoned Commercial General. With the adoption

Page 2 - CITY OF POWAY ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING - January 14, 1993
of the Poway General Plan in 1983 the property was redesignated to RS-2 because
the commercial zone along Midland Road was considered to be too large to support
commercial needs for this area.
Mike Schoonover, 2205 E. Valley Parkway, Escondido, realtor, and Darrell
Daugherty, 200 E. Washington Avenue, Escondido, planner, represented Mrs. Ogle
in presenting their plan to the City Council. They propose approximately g,o00
square feet of commercial retail and a 6,000 square foot bed and breakfast inn.
Councilmember Cafagna stated he had been a member of the Old Poway Specific Plan
Advisory Committee and this property was considered a transitional area between
commercial and residential. Councilmember Snekso stated he felt "quaint"
commercial and a bed and breakfast would be appropriate.
Councilmember Emery stated he was not in favor of "chipping away" at a plan. This
would require a change in the Old Poway Specific Plan.
Pre-GPA 92-01B
Applicant: Harold Wang
Southeast terminus of Monte Vista Road
Staff report by Director of Planning Services Wright-Quastler. The applicant is
requesting a change for a 4.46 acre site from RS-4, RR-C and RR-A to Commercial
Office. This would require a vote of the people under the provisions of
Proposition FF. The property is located on the south side of Monte Vista Road.
Harold Wang, 12735 Monte Vista Road, cited the existing commercial uses on Monte
Vista Road.
Bruce Tarzy, 15912 Ranch Hollow Road, stated the property exceeds 10% slope
overall and this change could not be made without changing the General Plan.
Council expressed no interest in this change.
Pre-GPA 92-01C
Applicant: Frank & Doris Roberts
North of Olive Tree Lane/West of Melodie Lane
Staff report by Director of Planning Services Wright-Quastler. The applicant is
requesting a change for his 2.30 acres from RR-C to RS-2. A petition is being
circulated to approximately 25 of his neighbors to be changed also. This will
also require a vote under FF.
Jerry Pinney, 13627 Olive Tree Lane, stated that because there was no sewer on
this street, it was zoned RR-C in the 1983 General Plan adoption. Most of the
lots are non-conforming to the RR-C zone since they are less than an acre.
Council concurred this proposal has merit.

ITEM 5 (701-04)
SEVEN STAGE WATER CONSERVATION ORDINANCE
WATER PRICING STRUCTURE
City Manager Bowersox stated this item is not time critical and suggested it be
carried over to another meeting due to the time.
Jerry Hargarten, 13622 Orchard Gate Road, stated he supports staff proposal in
relation to the amount of water allocated to residential use. Council concurred
to bring this back on a regular meeting agenda since it conforms to past
discussions and will not require extensive meeting time.
ITEM 6 (701-09)
POWAY ROAD SPECIFIC PLAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Committee members during portions of the meeting included: Duke Ayers, Mary
Shepardson, Jerry Hargarten, Jerry Long, Randy Wilkins, Don Patch, Jeanne
Schneider-Hume, Vicki Lazowski, Kyle Everson, Harold Williams, and Elaine Flynn.
Staff report by Director of Planning Services Wright-Quastler. On July 23, lggl,
the City Council approved the charter for the Poway Road Specific Plan Advisory
Committee and commissioned an economic study with Economics Research Associates
in order to assess the market potential for commercial and office land uses. EP~A
has completed their study and the Committee has formulated a Vision Statement for
Poway Road and a conceptual program of "node" designations.
Bill Anderson from ERA presented their report which concludes that there is
approximately 80 more acres of commercially zoned property on Poway Road than can
be supported.
(Councilmember Emery left the meeting at 6:55 P.M.)
Director of Planning Services Wright-Quastler stated that the existing zoning is
a leftover from the County of San Diego and reviewed the "nodes" which are
proposed in order to shape a sense of town center and move away from the current
diffused strip development.
Committee member Jerry Long stated the Committee needs to know if the Council
likes the node concept; how the Council feels about mixed uses and what can be
done with 80 acres of excess commercial.
Following discussion, Council concurred they have no problem with the residential
uses being proposed in the plan or the node concept. They urged the Committee
to continue with their work. Councilmember Cafagna stated that the Council will
have to make a decision on increased residential density since it appears to him
that will be necessary in order to have successful residential development on
Poway Road.
