WEST SIDE YORK AVENUE BETWEEN AUBREY &
TEMPLE STREETS
APN: 314-201-04
Deputy MayorNice Chair Rexford opened the public hearing. David Narevsky,
Redevelopment Manager, presented the staff report. On October 30, 2001, the City
Council/Redevelopment Agency authorized staff to negotiate terms for the acquisition of
flood-prone parcels located within the 100- Year Floodway of Rattlesnake Creek. This general
staff direction is an opportunity-driven authorization to proceed with property acquisitions
when the owner of a property is willing to negotiate the terms of sale. Staff conducted site
due diligence on the 0.60-acre vacant parcel and negotiated the terms of sale in an effort to
pursue the development of potential future open space and/or recreational uses within the
Paguay Redevelopment Project Area. The parcel is located within the 100-Year FEMA
designated floodway of Rattlesnake Creek and is blighted because it is flood-prone and
cannot be improvement.
Dee Fleischman, Poway, wants to be sure open space is part of the project.
Motion by Councilmember/Director Emery and seconded by Councilmember/Director Boyack
to close the public hearing, approve the Negative Declaration, authorize the expenditure of
$47,300 from the Project/Field Acquisition Project (5650), approve the purchase, authorize
the City Manager/Executive Director to execute the necessary documents, and adopt
Planning Resolution P-06-24 approving the environmental assessment. Motion carried 3-0

CREEKSIDE PLAZA SPECIAL EVENTS
REPORT
Niall Fritz, Director of Development Services, presented the staff report. Creekside Plaza is a
shopping center located at 13409-13573 Poway Road. At the City Council meeting of
December 6,2005, a member of the public spoke under Oral Communications regarding the
use of amplifiers at outdoor special events at the amphitheater within the Creekside Plaza
and the noise it creates at his house nearby. The City Council requested a report on special
events that are allowed and whether or not amplified music can be permitted. The City
Council also requested that a representative from the shopping center attend the meeting
when this is discussed. During the preparation of this report, the management company for
the center changed. The report was delayed to allow the representative of the new
management company to attend this meeting, however, no one from the company attended
the meeting.
Kevin Campbell, Poway, said the property manager is non-responsive to noise complaints
and asked for the Sheriff's assistance in enforcing noise limits.
Joe St. Lucas, Poway, stated this is a neighborhood problem and asked for the noise
ordinance to be enforced. Event permits should be posted prominently on the property.
The City Council received and filed the report
