APPLICATION (MDRA) 06-05
ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NUMBER 323-290-17
WHEREAS, MDRA 06-05, Zakhary Berezovsky, Applicant, requests approval to
construct a 5.114-square-foot, two-story, single-family residence, with an attached
793-square-foot garage, on a 2.41-acre property located off of Gate Drive The property is
zoned Rural Residential C (RR-C) and located within the Hillside/Ridgeline Review Area,
and
WHEREAS, on October 7, 2008, the City Council held a public meeting to
solicit comments from the public, both pro and con, relative to this application,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Poway
as follows,
Section 1 An Environmental Initial Study was completed for the project It was
determined that while the project will not have a significant adverse impact on the
environment, it could result in potential impacts in the area of archaeology All anticipated
project impacts, however, can be mitigated to a level of less than significant It is
recommended that a Mitigated Negative Declaration be approved,
Section 2, Pursuant to the Poway Subarea Habitat Conservation Plan (PSHCP), a
biological survey was prepared for all three properties on June 19, 2008, by Robin Church,
RC Biological Consulting, Inc These properties consist of 2,09 acres of Coastal Sage
Scrub (CSS), 052 acres of Native Grassland (NG), 366 acres of Non-Native Grassland
(NNG), which include three individual Coast Barrel Cactus plants, 0 56 acres of Southern
Mixed Chaparral (SMC) and 0 40 acres of disturbed area, for a total of 7.23 acres Project
grading and Fire Fuel Management Zones for development pursuant to MDRA 06-05,
MDRA 06-06, and MORA 06-09 will impact approximately 446 acres of habitat; of this, 1.20
acres will be CSS, 040 acres will be NG, 2,29 acres NNG, 030 acres of SMC and 0.27
acres will be disturbed land
A The project sites are not In the mitigation area of the PSHCP The
mitigation is consistent with and furthers the implementing objectives of the PSHCP
.n that the applicants will mitigate impacts to 1.20 acres of CSS habitat at a 2: 1 ratio
(2.40 acres mitigation), 040 acres of NG at a 2 1 ratio (0 80 acres), 229 acres of
NNG at a 21 ratio (4 58 acres), 0 30 acres of SMC at a 2:1 ratio (0 60 acres), and
0,27 acres of disturbed habitat at a 1 1 ratio (0.27) This mitigation will require the
purchase of similar quality habitat within the identified mitigation area of the PSHCP
and recording a Biological Conservation Easement on this area If it is infeasible for
the applicant to purchase land within an identified mitigation area of the PSHCP,
Resolution No P-08-24
Page 2
with similar quality habitat, then an In-Lieu Fee to be used by the City for the future
purchase of habitat will be paid
As the project will be preserving habitat within an identified mitigation area or paying
for future habitat acquisition, it is meeting the goal of the PSHCP Therefore, the
project meets the intent of the PowayHCP
B Preservation of such habitat within the Mitigation Area and/or payment of In-Lieu
Fees will contribute toward the building of the ultimate total Mitigation Area preserve
system of the HCP Therefore, such habitat preservation and/or payment of In-Lieu
Fees will serve to enhance the long-term viability and function of the preserve
system
C The habitat preserved through offsite dedication, or purchased by Habitat Mitigation
In-Lieu Fees paid will be to the long-term benefit of the HCP covered species and
their habitats in that the recordation of a Biological Conservation Easement over
undisturbed and unencumbered habitat (See "A" above) will promote ameaningful
addition to the assembly of a viable regional system of uninterrupted natural habitat
resources, habitat linkages, buffers, and wildlife corridor
D The preserved habitat will foster the incremental implementation of the HCP in an
effective and efficient manner in that the preservation of offsite conservation area(s)
will be within an identified Mitigation Area within the City, and/or the payment of In-
Lieu Fees will likewise contribute towards, assembling the total Mitigation Area
preserve system
E. The preserved habitat will not result in a negative fiscal impact with regard to the
successful implementation of the HCP as the subject mitigation lands will be
dedicated to the City of Poway in fee title and/or placed within permanent public
Biological Conservation Easements or In-Lieu Fees will be paid
