PLANNING
New 220-Apartment Unit, Mixed-Use Development by Fairfield at 12845-12941 Poway Road
(Carriage Center and Poway Fun Bowl sites)
On July 31st, a second incomplete letter was sent for a Tentative Map and Development Review
application for a mixed-use development by Fairfield. Some changes were made to the proposed
project after the first submittal. Currently, the Fairfield proposal includes 220 apartment units
(previously 221 units), approximately 9,200 square feet of commercial space, including two
restaurant spaces (previously 8,500 square feet), 7,700 square feet of quasi-public open space, and
Poway Road improvements, including a new traffic signal (previously not included). The
development will include buildings with a maximum of four stories and 45 feet tall, except for
decorative building tower projections on the corners of two of the buildings which will project up to
55 feet tall and are permissible on corner lots such as this. The tentative map will allow for the
potential sale of future individual apartment units as condominium units, however, representatives of
Fairfield have stated they intend to rent the units as apartments. The applicant has requested a
Pre-Development Conference with the City Council that is scheduled for the September 15th City
Council meeting.
Walgreens Tree Removal Permit
On August 4th, a Tree Removal Permit was approved to replace three street trees along Poway
Road and Community Road in front of Walgreens. The trees will be replaced with the planting of

HOUSING
Affordable Housing Property Sale
The resale of a Poway Meadows home is progressing as scheduled. The two-week application
submission period (July 13-31) yielded six applicants. After consideration, three households
withdrew their submissions and one household did not meet minimum eligibility criteria. The two
remaining households will move forward in the next phase of eligibility to include SHOP program
underwriting and attending an open house to view the home and ask questions. It is anticipated that
the sale of the home will be complete by the end of September 2020.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
Espola Road Safety Improvements
On August 10th, Public Works staff removed the deteriorated erosion control measures on the west
side of Espola Road in front of 15040 and 15060 Espola Road that were installed in May 2019. Public
Works also performed a scrape of the surface to remove weed roots that had grown through
the coconut blankets. An erosion control contractor laid down new coconut blankets, fiber rolls, and
gravel bags on the following day.
2020-2021 Street Maintenance Project
The contractor will be completing placement of approximately 4.2-million square feet of slurry seal
this week. The utility lid raise to grade sub-contractor will then move onsite to raise approximately
160 valve lids, sewer manhole lids, and monument lids flush to grade. This project is being
coordinated with the striping contract so that striping can be replaced as early as possible.
Welcome to Poway Sign Replacement Project
The City received six bids to construct the seven entry monument signs at the gateway entries to the
City. Two of the six bids were within the project budget, with the lowest bidder price being below the
Engineer’s Estimate. The City Council will be asked to consider the award of the project to New
Century Construction, Inc. at the September 15th City Council meeting for a total amount of
$98,500.00.
Sebago Channel Repair Project
Bids were opened on August 6th. There were five bidders and the lowest responsible bidder was

LAND DEVELOPMENT
Ekiko Residence (G20-0015)
Staff received the first submittal for the grading associated with a proposed single-family residence
on Glen Circle Road.
Griswold Residence (G20-0016)
Staff received the first submittal for the grading associated with a proposed single-family residence
on Dos Amigos Way.
Poway Commons
(STI20-002)
The City has been coordinating closely with the project engineer to resolve final issues related to the
street improvement plans. These improvements are required as a part of the Poway Commons
project and include various improvements to the project frontage along Poway Road, Tarascan Drive,
and Civic Center Drive.
(FTM20-001)
City staff has issued minor comments on the third review of the final map for the proposed five-lot
residential and commercial subdivision as part of the Poway Commons project located at Poway
Road with Civic Center Drive and Tarascan Drive.
Remick Residence (G20-0010)
The City has received the second submittal of the grading plan package for a proposed single-family
residence on Vali Hai Road.
Navidi Workshop (G20-0003 and FLD20-0005)
City staff has returned comments for the first review of the grading plans and floodplain development
plans associated with the workshop proposed in the rear yard for a residence on Twin Peaks
Road. The driveway leading to the workshop will cross through the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) regulated floodway, therefore, a “no rise” certification is required to verify that
improvements will not result in an increase to flood level elevations.
STORMWATER
FEMA Community Rating System
The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) provides federally-backed flood insurance within
communities that enact and enforce floodplain regulations. To be covered by a flood insurance
policy, a property must be in a community that participates in the NFIP. To qualify for the NFIP, a
community adopts and enforces a floodplain management ordinance to regulate development in
flood hazard areas. Additionally, there is the Community Rating System (CRS) which is a national
program developed by FEMA. Under the CRS program, communities can be rewarded for doing
more than simply regulating construction of new buildings to the minimum national standards. The
City participates in the CRS program for several reasons, one of which is the discounted flood
insurance premiums it provides for the City’s residents and businesses. In order to participate in the
CRS program, City staff must implement activities to reduce flood damage to existing buildings,
manage development in areas not mapped by the NFIP, protect new buildings beyond the minimum
NFIP protection level, preserve and/or restore natural functions of floodplains, help insurance agents
obtain flood data, and help people obtain flood insurance. Each year, the City must recertify that it
is continuing to implement the activities for which it has earned credit and meets the requirements
for its level of participation. City staff just completed and submitted the recertification package to
FEMA for review.

Yeager Residence
The owner notified staff that a dumpster had been placed on the property for proper disposal of horse
manure. This was in response to illegal dumping of horse manure on an adjacent City owned
property. Staff received pictures from the owner which confirmed the horse manure was not visible
along the trail. However, it appears that possible grading and vegetation clearing occurred. Staff
will visit the site this week to assess the situation.
Education and Outreach
Reusable produce bags and flatware were produced as part of the public outreach and education
program comprised of all co-permittees. Each city is allocated a number of items to be publicly
distributed. Staff will plan for future distribution of the items at the kiosk in City Hall and the first floor
counter of Development Services.
Dry Weather Outfall Discharge Monitoring
The Municipal Permit requires the City to perform Dry Weather Outfall Discharge Monitoring each
year. The City is required to visit at least 80-percent of its major outfall locations within each
Watershed Management Area (WMA) twice per monitoring year. The City’s current inventory has
52 major outfalls, 16 in the San Dieguito WMA and 36 in the Los Peñasquitos WMA. The work
includes a total of 84 routine field visits recording visual observations, identifying and sampling dry
weather flows, upstream source investigations and trash assessments. The City’s consultant D-Max
Engineering, Inc. (D-Max) is currently conducting the field visits and sampling of dry weather flows
and notifying staff of illicit discharges. As the notifications come in from D-Max, City staff issues a
series of letters weekly to residents that were identified as contributors of dry weather flows (i.e. over
irrigation, illegal pool discharges, car washing, etc.). The letters are intended to educate and correct
issues involving illicit discharges which are a violation of the Municipal Permit and Poway Municipal
Code. Follow-up and upstream investigations may be required in response to the sampling results
when data is returned from the laboratories.
Jurisdictional Runoff Management Program Annual Report
City staff is working with our consultant D-Max Engineering, Inc. to prepare the Jurisdictional Runoff
Management Program (JRMP) Annual Report. The Annual Report will summarize components of
the City’s stormwater program including illicit discharge detection and elimination, development
planning, construction management, existing development compliance for municipal, commercial,
industrial and residential sites, public education and fiscal analysis. The final JRMP Annual Report
will be provided to the Water Quality Improvement Plan (WQIP) group by the requested deadline
which is expected to be in early September 2020. The WQIP group is responsible for incorporating
the JRMP Annual Report forms into the WQIP Annual Report for each watershed and submitting to
the Regional Water Quality Control Board by January 31, 2021.
INSPECTION
Poway Commons
Poway Road (G19-0011) - With most of the rough grading complete the contractor has been working
on retaining walls, sewer line, and storm drain infrastructure. Last week the footing excavation and
steel placement was inspected for the wall that divides the Commons subdivision and Community
Park. The concrete footing was placed, and wall construction began. Storm drain line A installation
continues and last week two concrete storm drain boxes were placed. The contractor has placed
several storm drain clean outs and several hundred feet of pipe.

TRAFFIC
Signal Coordination
The Pandemic has resulted in a significant reduction in peak hour traffic. Staff has made
modifications to several signals on Community Road and on Twin Peaks Road to reduce the wait
time for vehicles and pedestrians on the cross streets. When traffic begins to increase, staff will re-
evaluate these signals to ensure that traffic continues to run as smoothly as possible.
SCHEDULED ROAD/LANE CLOSURES
Lane closure with flaggers in the #1 lane on Poway Road eastbound between Community Road
and Civic Center Drive for incoming and outgoing haul trucks and a sidewalk closure south side
