IN SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONES
AND RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO 07-023
WHEREAS, Section 1708180 of the Poway Municipal Code provides that second
dwelling units may be located on the same lot as an existing single-family dwelling,
except in those areas of the City determined by Resolution to be inappropriate for second
units, and
WHEREAS, the Poway Municipal Code further provides that a Resolution shall be
adopted annually to designate which areas of the City do not have adequate water,
sewer or other municipal services for second units, or in which second units would have
a significant adverse impact on traffic flow; and
WHEREAS, the City has adopted a General Plan which establishes goals, policies
and strategies for the future development ofthe City; and
WHEREAS, the successful implementation of the goals, policies and strategies is
dependent on planned capacities of the infrastructure system, i.e, transportation,
wastewater, water, and drainage based on planned land use densities and intensities;
and
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the City to ensure that traffic does not exceed the
capacity of the street system, and
WHEREAS, additional residents will add to the traffic on roadway segments over
which they must travel to reach services such as commercial establishments or
government facilities within the City, and this additional traffic will exacerbate the
congestion and delays, further reducing the Level of Service (LOS) below the current
inadequate levels, and
WHEREAS, the study concerning the adequacy of transportation facilities shows
that there are various segments of roadway which do not meet the LOS "D" minimum
requirements as shown in Exhibit A, and
WHEREAS, it is necessary for the public health, safety, and welfare to ensure that
the capacity of public utility systems is not exceeded, and
WHEREAS, the City of Poway has developed a Master Plan for infrastructure
systems to support residential, commercial and industrial development proposed within
the prescribed limit dictated by the General Plan and regional impacts from adjoining
commUnities; and

WHEREAS, the City of Poway currently has a treatment capacity with the City of
San Diego totaling 5 1 million gallons per day (MGD), and
WHEREAS, based on current wastewater flows and General Plan build-out
conditions, the City of Poway will need approximately 6 1 MGD of contract treatment
capacity, along with corresponding transportation agreements, and
WHEREAS, each new secondary dwelling could be expected to add 250 gallons
per day of wastewater to the system, and
WHEREAS, the remaining contract wastewater capacity has been allocated to a
variety of categories and there exists no capacity for second dwelling units, and
WHEREAS, the North Basin Green Valley Creek Sewer Interceptor is at capacity
and will have to be replaced to provide sufficient capacity for General Plan build-out
conditions, and
WHEREAS, the wastewater pumping system includes several small pumping
stations and an area pumping station called North Basin Camino del Valle Pump Station,
which has a peak capacity of 1.2 MGD and has minimal reserve capacity, which would be
exceeded by additional dwelling units above current planned densities, which could result
in sewer overflows in the area, and
WHEREAS, the City's Sewer Master Plan has identified the areas of the City
where services are available as shown in Exhibit B
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Poway
as follows.
