AUTOMOTIVE/GENERAL COMMERCIAL AND COMMERCIAL GENERAL
Total Number of Parcels: 55
Total Number of Acres: 63
EXISTING CONDITIONS / DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES
The Automotive/General Commercial (A1GC) and Commercial General (CG) Nodes are
located on the eastern terminus of the Specific Plan area. The node begins at Midland
Road and extends to the intersection of Garden Road and Poway Road. Land uses
within the Automotive/General Commercial District consists primarily of automotive,
motorcycle and boat sales, service and ancillary repair, and part supply services. The
Automotive/ General Commercial District also supports a limited number of mini-storage
facilities, restaurants, general retail and personal service businesses.
The Commercial General District comprises two separate parcels, totaling 9.57 acres,
and is located on the northeast corner of Poway Road and Midland Road. Land uses
within this District consist of the poway City Centre and an office/commercial building.
Although limited in total number, the Automotive/General Commercial and Commercial
General District has a larger number of vacant and underdeveloped parcels than any
other node within the Specific Plan. As such, it presents a greater opportunity for
development. Recommendations in the Market Analysis suggest consolidation of auto
repair businesses into planned centers and the concentration of automotive dealerships
would lead to more efficient land utilization and benefit businesses through improved
public access and image. Automotive-related businesses looking to locate or relocate
into the Automotive/General Commercial District are encouraged to consider these infill
locations. Another area that provides the opportunity for redevelopment is the area on
the north side of Poway Road between Evanston Drive and Ann-O-Reno Lane, which is
currently developed with detached houses. Although the limited depth of the lot and
proximity to residential land uses may discourage, or be inappropriate for, automotive
dealerships, less intensive support businesses could be accommodated.
The A1GC zone is intended for heavier commercial land uses such as automotive sales
and repair, recycling centers and animal boarding businesses that may not be permitted
in other zones. The Commercial General component of this Node provides for an
expanded use of retail related uses, such as financial institutions, apparel and jewelry
stores, computer and gift shops, as well as a variety of other general retail uses.

As with the other districts, the Automotive/General Commercial and Commercial
General Node also contains a diverse range of architectural styles and uses. One of
the older structures dates back to 1930, and was used as a General Store and Post
Office. In contrast, new modern, angular, stucco buildings that accommodate the car
dealerships are dispersed along the north and south sides of Poway Road. At the
intersection of Poway Road and Garden Road are a 7-11, the Lincoln Shopping Center
and Secure Self Storage of Poway. All three of these structures were constructed in a
similar manner utilizing white stucco siding. Located on the south side of poway Road
are a series of automotive repair centers. These centers are typically constructed from
gray concrete block with little architectural articulation.
