ORDINANCE NO. 452
FLOOR AREA RATIO
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. Council directed staff to develop a floor
area ratio value to coincide with the amended development standards for the RS-7
zone and this Ordinance was advertised for public hearing at the September 5,
1995 meeting. It was assigned Ordinance No. 452 at that meeting and continued
to this date for staff to consider additional information. However, since there
are only two sizeable RS-7 zoned properties remaining in the City, staff
recommends that a FAR standard not be adopted at this time.
Motion by Councilmember Cafagna, seconded by Councilmember Rexford to close the
public hearing and remove Ordinance No. 452 from the agenda. Motion carried 4-0
with Councilmember Emery absent.

Mayor Higginson opened the public hearing. Staff report by City Manager

related services; recreational vehicle rental, storage and minor repairs;
equipment rental yard, truck and/or car rental/leasing; including a variance to
side yard setback on the west side, at 12957 Poway Road. Staff is recommending
approval for tire installation, brake service, auto detailing, and recreational
vehicle rental and storage only and remove the variance request from calendar

Richard Darr approached the podium and was questioned by the City Attorney
whether he wished to request any changes to the City Council's approval. If so,
the public hearing would have to be reopened. Mr. Darr asked about an aggregate
parking lot rather than asphalt. City Manager Bowersox stated that his request
had been addressed in a letter from the Planning Services Department. Aggregate
is not allowed for parking lots within the City.
