ITEM 4 (203-25) AFFORDABLE HOUSING OVERLAYS 92-03 AND 94-04 AMENDMENTS Mayor Higginson opened the public hearing. Item introduced by City Manager Bowersox. There is a requirement in the judgement entered by the Superior Court in Smith v All Persons that the City/Redevelopment Agency modify its planned affordable housing projects to achieve an approximate 60% family, 40% senior unit mix in the five identified projects of Haley, Breihan, Gateway, Brookview and Bowron. Haley and Breihan are already designated as family sites. The Gateway site is owned by retirement Housing Foundation who has indicated they will only build senior housing on this site. That leaves Brookview and Bowron for potential redesignation from senior to family. Director of Planning Services Wright-Quastler reviewed the process that has been followed to get to this point. General Plans were first required in 1969. In 1990 a requirement was added for the State's Department of Housing and Community development to review the housing element. Non-compliance can result in the court taking over building permit issuance in a jurisdiction. The City Council elected to meet its affordable housing requirement by allowing additional density through an affordable housing overlay. The Redevelopment Advisory Committee was given the task of identifying sites and adopting criteria. They held five months of public hearings and recommended 13 sites to the City Council. Brookview and Bowron were both recommended and approved for senior housing. Director of Redevelopment Services Sharer stated the Redevelopment and Housing Advisory Committee received 2-1/2 hours of testimony on March 27, 1995 on this subject and brings a recommendation to the City Council/Redevelopment Agency to designate Bowron Road site for family housing and the Brookview site for senior 55O4 Page 3 - CITY OF POWAY - May 16, 1995 housing with the possibility of intergenerational housing on Brookview if additional family units are needed. City Manager Bowersox stated David Rosen, the City's consultant, is here and available for questions. All the speakers present were in opposition to staff recommendation. Speakers on the Brookview site wanted either no development or senior housing, those speaking on the Bowron Road site want senior housing. Janet Shiba, P.O. Box 753, President of the Poway Valley Senior Citizens, presented a 10 minute video tape of interviews with members of the Senior Center citing their need for senior housing on the Bowron Road site. John Stephens, 530 B Street, San Diego, attorney representing the Poway Estates homeowners, adjacent to the Brookview site, stated designating Brookview site for low income housing was a mistake. Other speakers included: Terria Cecil, 12189 Sage View Bill Rickles, 13725 Utopia Road, representing Southwest Poway HOA John Knotwell, 13280 Creek Park Lane Larry Cruse, 13734 Utopia Road John Malis, 12189 Sage View Road Zoe Sarvis, 13259 Creek Park Lane Richard Orvik, 12943 Creek Park Drive Katie Haddock, 12348 Sage View Road Sue Fox, 12396 Sage View Road Teri Joybaki, 12140 Sage View Drive Lois Fong-Sakai, 12133 Sage View Road Walter Metcalf, 13115 Valewood Road Barbara Orvik, 12943 Creek Park Drive Bob Fox, 12396 Sageview Road Elaine Jeter, 17834 Villamoura Sandy Victor, 13187 Valewood Road RECESS AND CALL TO ORDER Mayor Higginson recessed the meeting at 8:40 p.m. and called it back to order at 9:05 p.m. with all Councilmembers present. The speakers continued: Brook Niestedt, 12390 Mesa Crest J. David Wright, 12277 Sage View Road Ted Bauer, 13013 Oak Knoll Road Pat Palmer, 12829 E1 Rey Vista Phyllis Mehlman, 12911 Creek Park Drive 5505 Page 4 - CITY OF POWAY - May 16, 1995 Jay Mehlman, 12911 Creek Park Drive Myron Klippert 13042 Creek Park Drive Richard Haddock, 12348 Sage View Road Lonnie Sarvis, 12259 Creek Park Lane Lois Downs, 14915 Whitebutte Max Llanos, 12316 Sage View Road Teresa Cope, 12305 Mesa Crest Road Kay Rickles, 13725 Utopia Rod Susan Sheldon, 13411Starridge Street Sally Bordon, 13131Tobiasson Road Ronald Moore, 13210 Frame Court Mark Lawless, 12379 Sage View Road Bill Haselton, 12399 Sage View Rod Phillip Cass, 12220 Sage View Road Danielle Nespeca, 12975 Creek Park Drive Peggy Shea, ]2423 Paseo Colina Tom Ramos, 13163 Valewood Road Susan Prines, 13139 Valewood Road Speakers stated that the Bowron Road site had always been intended for senior housing and because of its proximity to the Senior Center should remain that way; that the Brookview site will be difficult to develop because it is in the floodway and it should remain a natural site; that the AH sites are not distributed equitably; that the Brookview site is not suitable for families because of the danger of children being so close to Pomerado Road; and that Bowron Road site would be appropriate for families because of its proximity to the Community Park and its facilities. Motion by Councilmember Callery, seconded by Mayor Higginson to close the public hearing. Motion carried unanimously. RECESS AND CALL TO ORDER Mayor Higginson recessed the meeting at 10:05 p.m. and called the meeting back to order at 10:12 p.m. with all Councilmembers present. Councilmember Cafagna stated that the State has mandated that we will have affordable housing and decisions were made that Brookview and Bowron and Gateway would be for seniors. However we were sued and the settlement of that lawsuit mandates that each of these sites will be developed. He suggested Bowron be developed at approximately 100 family units with 30 1-bedroom units that would accommodate seniors; that 90 family units be built on Brookview site; and that a few more family units be added to the Breihan site. He asked Mr. Rosen about senior units in a family project. Mr. Rosen stated that the site can be designated family and there is no restriction on renting to seniors. However if it is designated senior and built to those standards, only persons 62 years or older can live there and it must keep that designation for the life of the project. He suggested the City look 5506 Page 5 - CITY OF POWAY - May 16, 1995 for other sites close to the Senior Center that could be designated as senior since the 60-40 split has to be specifically on the five sites named in the judgment. Councilmembers acknowledged that no one wants affordable housing however we are required to provide it and we will be required to provide much more than these five sites as time goes on. Motion by Mayor Higginson, seconded by Councilmember Cafagna to receive and file the Redevelopment and Housing Committee's report; adopt Resolution No. 95-031, entitled, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Poway, California Amending the Affordable Housing Overlay on Property Located at the Northeast Corner of Bowron Road and Civic Center Drive, County Tax Assessor Parcel Number 317-473-18 and Rescinds Resolution 92-160 {AHO 92-03)," designating as very low income family at a density up to 25 dwelling units per acre with some one-bedroom units that could accommodate seniors; adopt Resolution No. 95-032, entitled, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Poway, California Amending the Affordable Housing Overlay on Property Located on the West side of Pomerado Road North of Poway Road, County Tax Assessor Parcels 317-521-02, 03 and 04 {AHO 92- 04)," designating as senior and leaving as natural as possible; with direction to staff to look at adding additional units to Breihan and looking for additional senior sites. Motion carried unanimously.
