Mayor Cafagna opened the public hearing. Director of Development Services Niall Fritz gave
the staff report. This is a request for an amendment to the South Poway Specific Plan
involving a change in land use designation on an approximate 23-acre portion of the site
located at the southeast corner of Scripps poway Parkway and Gateway Place from Open
Space/1 Dwelling Unit to Industrial Park, a change in land use designation on another
approximate 21-acre portion of the site from Open Space/1 Dwelling Unit to Open Space; and
a 4-lot subdivision of the site. Additionally, the applicant is requesting approval to construct
manufactured slopes with a height of over 30 feet, up 140 feet, on the south side of the site.
A notable component of the project is that it will ultimately provide the easterly extension of
Kirkham Way to a new signalized intersection with Scripps Poway Parkway as required by
the South Poway Specific Plan and the construction of up to 600,000 square feet of office or
light industrial space and 20,000 square feet of commercial space on the site. This proposal
was the subject of Pre-Development Conference 05-01, which was discussed at two City
Council Workshops, on May 10, 2005 and September 12, 2006. In response to the City
Council comments on the item at the workshops, the applicant has made revisions to the
project. The Specific Plan Amendment was initiated by the City Council at the October 17,
2006 meeting.
Andrew Kean, Poway, objected to the project and requested an EIR be required.
Motion by Councilrnember Higginson, seconded by Mayor Cafagna, to waive further reading
of the ordinance and continue the public hearing to January 16, 2007 for second reading of

term to last a minimum of five (5) years, and shall identify habitat restoration performance
criteria. Provisions shall be made in the HRMP for extension of the monitoring term should
performance criteria not be met." Motion carried 3-2 with Councilmembers Emery and
Rexford voting "no."
STAFF REPORTS
3. Evaluation of the Pilot Proaram revising the City Council meeting schedule and
determination of the future meeting schedule. (0710-90)
City Clerk Diane Shea gave the staff report. At its September 20, 2005 meeting, the City
Council discussed reducing the number of regularly scheduled City Council meetings per
month as the need for weekly meetings has declined since the City's incorporation 26 years.
The Council directed staff to implement a pilot program reducing the number of meetings to
the first, second and third Tuesdays of the month, and canceling any subsequent Tuesday
meetings and the Thursday workshop meeting. The first and third Tuesday meetings were to
be regular City Council meetings and the second Tuesday was to be a workshop format. The
pilot program ran from February through December 2006.
Dee Fleischman, Poway, objected to the reduced meeting schedule.
