PLANNING
Van Dam Peak Open Space Acquisition
On February 19 the City Council authorized staff to enter into a grant agreement for the
acquisition of four parcels in the Van Dam Peak area for open space. The parcels total
162.31 acres and have a fair market value of $1,625,000. To help purchase the parcels, the
City with the assistance of the Trust for Public Lands was awarded grants from the California
Natural Resources Agency for $500,000 and $1,000,000 in Section 6 grant funds from the
Wildlife Conservation Board. The City is contributing $125,000 from the Habitat In-Lieu Fee
Fund. A sign will be erected at the trail head acknowledging the contributing organizations.
Escrow closed on May 30, 2019.
Stoneridge “The Farm” Specific Plan (SPP18-001)
“The Farm” is a 118-acre specific plan at the former Stoneridge Golf course property
proposed to include 160 residential homes including twinhomes and detached cottages, as
well as, agricultural, recreational and retail uses. City Council selected Dudek as the
environmental consultant for the project. On May 23, 2019, City staff, together with Dudek
and proponents of the development, hosted a public scoping meeting regarding the potential
environmental impacts resulting from “The Farm” project. Selected community stakeholders,
interested parties, local homeowner’s associations and property owners and occupants
within 500 feet of the project site were notified (approximately 1,300 notifications). A total of
77 persons signed in as attending and 14 comment cards were received at the meeting with
many more emailed, hand delivered and mailed after the meeting. The scoping meeting was
an open house format where attendees could talk one on one with the development team,
the traffic consultants and the environmental consultants. Most participants had questions
about the details of the project, but there was a theme of concerns related to obstruction or
degradation of views and increased traffic. The consultant team and City staff are reviewing
all comments and a response to comments will be part of the environmental document. The
Notice of Preparation was released on May 10, 2019 and comments will be required by
June 10, 2019.

Neighborhood Meeting for Crest Road Subdivision at 12102 and 12118 Poway Road
Approximately nine neighbors attended a neighborhood meeting about a proposed six-lot
subdivision of a 1.4-acre project site consisting of two properties. The properties, which front
Poway Road to the south and Crest Road to the north, are zoned Residential Single Family-
7 (RS-7), which allows for a 4,500 square foot minimum lot size. The properties are also
located in the Very High Fire Hazard Area (VHFHA). The two single-family homes currently
occupying the lots take access from Poway Road. The proposed lots would measure
between 9,000 and 13,000 square feet and would take access off Crest Road.
Most of the attendees at the neighborhood meeting live in the subdivision to the north which
was developed as a tract development in the 1990s. They expressed concerns about the
impact of additional traffic generated by the proposed six lots considering that currently Crest
Road only provides vehicular access to homes on the north side of the street. Neighbors
requested that the proposed subdivision be redesigned to eliminate or reduce additional
traffic and the number of driveways on Crest Road. The applicant agreed to consider the
feasibility of modifying the subdivision design to address concerns and will be following up
with staff. Neighbors were also concerned that the project does not include future house
plans and construction activities associated with the subdivision could last years. At the
meeting staff informed the neighbors that a second neighborhood meeting will be held if the
project design changes.
Repainting of the Mobil Gas Station at 13556 Poway Road
Staff met with the owner of the gas station to discuss the color of the brick building which
has been repainted sky-blue. The building previously had the traditional red brick color.
Although a permit is not needed to repaint a building, zoning standards and design
guidelines related to building color still apply. The zoning code requires that a commercial
structure be of a muted scheme and shall not otherwise be visually out of character with the
community. The Poway Road Specific Plan states that colors should be appropriate to the
architectural style of the building. The owner has agreed to change the color but does not
want to return to the red brick color. Instead, she will present a lighter gray or tan color
sample for staff consideration. The owner has asked for three months to repaint the building
during which time she will also remove window signage to be within the allowable 25 percent
limit.
New Single-Family Residence at the northwest corner of Del Poniente Road and
Espola Road
A Minor Development Review Application (MDRA) was submitted for a new single-family
home on a vacant property (APN 321-271-33). The project consists of a one-story, 2,906-
square-foot single-family residence and a detached 644-square-foot accessory dwelling unit
on a 2.86-acre parcel.
New Single Family Residence at 14376 Twisted Branch Road
A Minor Development Review Application (MDRA) was submitted to construct an
approximate 10,500 square foot residence and a 950 square foot Accessory Dwelling Unit
in the Bridlewood Country Estates subdivision on a lot that experienced the loss of a home
during the Witch Creek Fire in 2007.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
Espola Road Safety Improvements
Utility undergrounding installations are expected to resume in mid-June after school is out
for the summer. SDG&E’s contractor has been permitted extended traffic control hours to
help expedite the work. Portions of the work will require traffic control to be reduced to one
lane with the assistance of flaggers. This portion of the undergrounding is expected to take
four to six weeks to complete. Staff continues to monitor and address resident concerns
along Espola Road related to the terminated construction contract with Just Construction,
Inc. Last week staff met with Just Construction, Inc. as part of ongoing settlement
negotiations. Staff is working with the project’s design consultant to prepare a revised set
of plans to be advertised for construction in the spring. It is anticipated that construction will
resume on the pathway improvements after the undergrounding is complete in summer
2020. A project status update will be presented to City Council at the June 18 council
meeting.
Mickey Cafagna Community Center
The project plans and bid documents are complete and the project is out to bid as of
June 6. The next steps include two pre-bid meetings scheduled for June 17 and June 20
followed by the bid opening scheduled for July 22. It is anticipated the construction contract
will be awarded at the August 20 City Council meeting.
LED Street & Safety Lighting Conversion
Five proposals were received to perform design-build services related to the conversion of
the City’s low pressure sodium lights to light emitting diode. Development Services and
Public Works staff reviewed the proposals and met last week to discuss ratings. Staff will
be conducting interviews with the top two firms. It is anticipated the award for this project
will be a public hearing at the City Council meeting on July 16.
Treatment Plant Chemical Building and Tank Farm Upgrades
Bids were opened on May 23 and four bids were received. The apparent low bidder is J.R.
Filanc Construction with a bid of $1,466,241. This project has been scheduled for award at
City Council on June 18.
Rattlesnake Creek Integrity Study
Staff has issued an RFP for consultant services to study a section of Rattlesnake Creek
between Budwin Lane and Midland Road. The study will analyze the creek to determine if
erosion will continue to occur in the same area where a sewer main was exposed and failed
during the 2017 storms. The study will also provide insight on design options and permitting
requirements.

Carport Mounted Photovoltaic System – PCPA Monthly Report
For the month of May 2019, the PCPA Carport PV system was estimated to produce 108,336
kWh (red line on both graphs) but under-produced for a total of 98,929 kWh (blue bars on
both graphs). During May 2019, the system under-produced on 17 days. Under production
can be attributed to lack of sunshine during cloudy days and/or inclement weather. All
mechanical systems appear to be functioning properly, however one inverter is experiencing
a communication issue, which is why there are spikes in the monthly production chart
provided. The actual production is not affected by this communication issue. GE will be
attempting to resolve the communication issue during their next preventative maintenance
visit.

LAND DEVELOPMENT
Mercy Housing Villa de Vida Project
City staff has conditionally approved the grading plans and improvement plans for the 54-
unit special needs housing development on Oak Knoll Road. Fees and securities must be
posted, along with signed mylar plans, standard agreement for the improvements and a
storm water maintenance agreement.
Nguyen Residence
City staff issued comments to the applicant for second review of the boundary adjustment
request revising the property line between their property on Oak Canyon Road and a City
owned parcel reserved for Open Space. The ordinance allowing the relinquishment of a
portion of the open space lot was accepted and processed at the December 18, 2018 City
Council Meeting.

INSPECTION
Brake Stop and Auto Repair
Poway Road (RW19-0020) - Upon completion of the curb, gutter and sidewalk, the
contractor paved the asphalt slot patch; the patch did not meet smoothness and density
specifications. The inspector met separately with the owner and then with the contractor to
discuss asphalt work and repairs to the City’s signal light detection loop system damaged
during demolition. The owner and contractor have not been talking but were both put on
notice nearly two months ago, shortly after damage occurred. The contractor cited
scheduling and administrative reasons for lack of repairs. The City has subsequently
scheduled Siemens, the City’s signal light contractor, to replace and restore the signal to
function as programmed. Due to work load, Siemens will not be available to perform the
work until mid-June.
Outpost
Poway Road (G18-0002), (STI18-001) - Hauling of excavated material has resumed. De-
watering continues. After experiencing an issue at the existing storm drain inlet, the
contractor switched discharging of filtered water to the closest down-stream storm-water
inlet and continued dewatering. Last week City of Poway sewer crews detected and removed
grout from within the City’s sewer main paralleling the construction site. The City’s sewer
crew continues to investigate the source of the grout.

Parkway Summit
Kirkham Way (G18-0008) - The contractor continues to work on grading for the two
commercial buildings and driveway entrances, one entering from General Atomics Way and
the other Kirkham Way. As the new entrances are excavated the material is being used to
fill the old driveway and cul-de-sac locations. Last week the contractor abandoned an
existing 8” sewer main. The pipe was filed with a concrete sand slurry and the up-stream
manhole removed and the area backfilled. Keystone wall construction is ongoing. The
contractor has completed walls 6 and 8 and is currently working on wall 7. This week the
footing for wall 7 was inspected and approved for block placement.
Chick-Fil-A
Poway Road (G18-0005) - The contractor is working on vertical construction of the
building. The newly installed 6” fire line has passed the 4-hour pressure test, and all other
water quality testing. A bacteriological sample was drawn and sent to the laboratory for
testing. This week the contractor will begin the sewer tie in on Poway Road.

Villa Da Vida
Oak Knoll Road (B19-0900) - Construction preparation has begun. Removal of a small area
of contaminated soil, demolition of the existing building and improvements are all a portion
of the demo work. The contractor has obtained a right-of-way permit and fenced and
screened the site prior to demolition operations.

o In March, staff met with the owner of Connect PV, a company that designs and installs
commercial solar power systems. Based in San Diego, the company was looking at properties
in Poway and San Diego to relocate their southern California headquarters. Staff presented
several Poway locations and the company ultimately selected to relocate to 13370 Kirkham
Way. The company currently employs 25 people and is looking to double in size in the next
three to five years. The company will fully occupy the site by June 30th.
o Staff met with the owner of California Closets, a commercial and residential cabinet design,
manufacturing and installation company. Staff presented information on state sales tax
reimbursement programs for manufacturing equipment and On the Job Training programs
that provide funding for new employees.
o Staff attended a brownfields workshop hosted by the City of San Marcos. There were
presentations on programs and funding sources to remediate brownfields (previously
developed land with contaminated soil). Staff has begun to contact property owners and their
representatives about pursuing these programs.
o The Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (Senate Bill 330 - Skinner) is a priority issue for the League
of California Cities. The League opposes this bill which will place limitations on a city’s ability
to approve or deny housing proposals. Of interest to the City of Poway are the limitation to
local control, including voiding requirements for voter approval to increase density or to
change zoning designations to allow residential uses, limit the City’s ability to impose new
development standards on new applications, disincentivize the redevelopment of older
residential structures, and limit the City’s ability to review development applications. A copy of
the legislative analysis is attached.

o A resident (Terri Fisher) sent email to Councilmembers last Sunday, June 2 inquiring as to
why many businesses have been leaving Poway. Staff provided the following information to
help explain this to the resident:
From: Craig Ruiz
Sent: Monday, June 3, 2019 5:20 PM
To: Chris Hazeltine <CHazeltine@poway.org>
Subject: RE: Why are businesses leaving Poway
Chris – I have read Ms. Fisher’s email. There are no easy answers to her overall question of why
a business closes. Generally speaking, there are several reasons why a retail business might
close. The biggest recent challenge to the retail industry is the rise of e-commerce. E-commerce
has created a fundamental shift in the way consumers shop today and brick-and-mortar retailers
everywhere are struggling to adapt.
The Poway business community is comprised of many small businesses. There are approximately
2,200 “storefront” businesses in Poway (excluding home-based businesses) and roughly 85%
have ten or fewer employees. Studies by the US Small Business Administration show that
approximately 30% of all small businesses close in their first year and more than half close within
the first five years of operation. Unfortunately, turnover is to be expected.
Poway retailers face significant competition from the retail centers in Carmel Mountain Ranch and
Rancho Bernardo. It is just as convenient and there are far more choices for residents in northern
Poway to access businesses in Carmel Mountain and RB as it is to go to businesses along Poway
Road.
In Poway we have a majority of older buildings that were designed in the 60’s and 70’s. These
types of designs are typically not in high demand in today’s marketplace. To address this
situation, the City spent over four years developing the Poway Road Specific Plan (Plan). The
primary goals of the Plan are to create a true Town Center, enhance circulation for pedestrians
and bicyclists, and ensuring that all development is attractive and contributes to the vibrancy of
the City. The Outpost project that is under construction is the first development implementing
these goals. It will be a long-term process to implement the redevelopment of the Poway Road
corridor.
As the Economic Development Administer, I work with partners like the Poway Chamber of
Commerce and the Small Business Development Center to assist all businesses in our
community. We regularly hold meetings, workshops and trainings to provide businesses with the
knowledge and resources they need to succeed. I also work with businesses and commercial
realtors on permitting and regulatory issues. As part of these efforts, I track new and closing
businesses. Unfortunately, businesses do not typically share with me when they are
closing. Anecdotally, realtors and property owners have stated that recent tenants have left
Poway for some or all of the reasons above, but it ultimately came down to a lack of profitability.
If you have any additional questions or would like any additional information, please let me know.

moratorium until HCD approves it.
iii) Imposing or enforcing design review standards established after January
1, 2018, if the standards are not objective.
iv) Limiting the number of land use approvals or permits neces sary for the
approval and construction of housing that will be issued or allocated
within all or a portion of the affected city or county.
v) Capping the number of housing units that can be approved or constructed
either annually or for some other period of time.
vi) Limiting the population of the affected city or county.
SB 330
Page 5
d) Provides that an affected city or county may enforce a limit on a number of
approvals or permits or a cap on the number of housing units that can be
approved or construction if the limit was approved by voters prior to January
1, 2005, and the affected city or county is located in a predominantly
agricultural county.
e) Allows an affected city or county to change land use designations or zoning
ordinances to allow for less intensive uses if it co ncurrently changes the
density elsewhere to ensure that there is no net loss in residential capacity.
f) Provides that any requirement that local voter approval, or the approval of a
supermajority of any body of the affected county or affected city, be
obtained to increase the allowable intensity of housing, to establish housing
as an allowable use, or to provide services and infrastructure necessary to
develop housing, is declared against public policy and void. This section
shall not be construed to void a height limit, urban growth boundary, or
urban limit established by the electorate of an affected city or county on or
before January 1, 2018.
g) HCD shall determine which cities and counties are affected cities and
counties within the following timeframes : (i) an initial determination shall

Housing Accountability Act
6) Prohibits a local agency from applying ordinances, policies, and standards to a
development after a preliminary application is submitted. This bill allows local
governments to apply new standards after the preliminary application is
submitted only in specified circumstances.
7) Allows a local agency to subject new square footage or units to the ordinances,
policies, and standards in effect when the preliminary application is submitted.
8) Allows a development applicant, a person who would be eligible to apply for
residency in a proposed development, or a housing organization, to file a
lawsuit if a local agency requires a housing development project to comply with
an ordinance, policy, or s tandard not adopted and in effect when a preliminary
application was submitted.
Development Application Processes and Timelines
9) Provides that if a housing development project complies with the applicable
objective general plan and zoning standards in effect at the time an application
is deemed complete, a city or county shall not conduct more than five de novo
SB 330
Page 6
hearings in connection with the approval of that housing development project ,
consistent with the timelines under the Permit Streamlining Act. The city or
county shall consider and either approve or disapprove the application ta any of
the five hearings. The city or county shall schedule each hearing to occur
within 30 days following the request by the applicant or an earlier date if
required by law. The city or county shall not continue any hearing to another
date.
10) Provides that a housing development project shall be deemed to have a
complete initia l application upon providing specified information.
11) Requires HCD to adopt a standardized form that applicants for housing
development projects may use for the purpose of satisfying the requirements
for submittal of a complete initial application.
12) Requires, if an application is determined to be incomplete, the lead agency
shall provide the development project applicant with an exhaustive list of items
that were not complete. The list shall be limited to those items required on the
lead agency’s submittal requirement checklist. In any subsequent review of
the application determined to be incomplete, the local agency shall not request
the applicant to provide any new information that was not stated in the initial
list of items that were not complete. When determining if the application is
complete, the local agency must limit its review to determining whether the
application includes the missing information.
13) Requires, not later than 30 days after a public agency receives an application
for a development project, the public agency to determine in writing whether
the application is complete and immediately transit the determination to the
applicant for the development project. If the written determination is not made
in 30 days, the application shall be deemed complete.
14) Requires, upon receipt of any resubmittal of the application, a new 30 -day
period to begin, during which the public agency shall determine the
completeness of the application. If the application is determined not to be
complete, the agency’s determination shall specify those parts of the
application which are incomplete and indicate the manner in which they can be
made complete, including a list and thorough description of the specific
information needed to complete the application.
SB 330
Page 7
15) Requires that, if the submitted materials are determined not to be complete, the
public agency shall provide a process for the applicant to appeal that decision
in writing to the governing body of the agency or to the director of the agency.
A final written determination on the appeal shall be made within 60 calendar
days after receipt of the applicant’s written appeal. If a decision is not made
within 60 days, the application with the submitted materials shall be deemed
complete.
Substandard Buildings
16) Requires a local agency notice of a violation of any building standard to an
owner of an occupied substandard building or unit where residential is a
permitted use, including areas zoned for mixed use, to include a statement of
the owner’s right to request a delay in enforcement. Requires a local agency,
upon request of the owner, to delay enforcement for seven years , or earlier at
the discretion of the enforcement agency, if correction is not necessary to
protect health and safety.
Comments
Appropriations Amendments. The following changes occurred in the Senate
Appropriations Committee:
1) Make the bill’s changes applicable for five years, until January 1, 2025, instead
of 10 years.
2) Delete the requirement that HCD identify affected cities and counties for the
second time in 2025 (as a conforming change to shortening the bill’s
applicability).
3) Delete provisions that would prohibit affected cities or counties from charging
or increasing fees, charges, or exactions imposed in connection with housing
development projects, as s pecified.
NOTE: For more information and context, please see the policy committee
analyses.
FISCAL EFFECT: Appropriation: No Fiscal Com.: Yes Local: Yes
According to the Senate Appropriations Committee:
HCD first-year costs of $405,000 and ongoing costs of $374,000 annually until
January 1, 2025 for staff to develop and update guidelines, criteria, and forms;
SB 330
Page 8
identify affected cities and counties; review zoning ordinances for compliance;
and provide consultation and technical assistance to local jurisdictions.
(General Fund)
Unknown local mandated costs. While this bill imposes new costs on affected
local agencies to revise planning requirements for certain developments , these
costs are generally not state-reimbursable because local agencies have the
authority to charge various permit, planning, and developer fees to offset any
increased costs associated with the higher level of service. As such, it is
unlikely that the Commission on State Mandates would approve any claims for
state reimbursement.
