1 Ordinance No 678 - First Reading Entitled, "An Ordinance of the City of

Regarding Speed Limits and Adopting the 2008 Engineering and Traffic
Survey" (0850-65)
Zoubir Ouadah, Senior Traffic Engineer, presented the staff report.
Sections 22357 and 22358 of the California Vehicle Code give local
municipalities the authority to set speed limits below the maximum speed
limits set forth by State law, where such speed limits are supported by an
Engineering and Traffic Survey (Survey). An approved Survey is valid for
seven years, or may be updated any time that roadway or traffic
conditions change significantly
On May 20, 2004, the State adopted the California Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) The proposed 2008 Engineering and
Traffic Survey was prepared using the updated guidelines of the MUTCD,
and will establish proposed speed limits on 60 roadway segments. This
will enable the Sheriff's Deputies to use radar for traffic speed
enforcement and provide the legal authority to pass the court
requirements
There were no public speakers on this item.
City Council Action: Motion by Councilmember Rexford and seconded
by Councilmember Boyack to waive further reading of the ordinance and
continue the public hearing to September 23, 2008 for second reading and
adoption of the ordinance. Motion carried 4-0, with Mayor Cafagna
absent.

report, and Joe Colgan, of Colgan Consulting Corporation gave a
presentation on the study prepared for the City Development impact fees
are collected from new development to mitigate the development's impact
on existing and future public facilities The fees collected represented the
development's proportionate share of capital costs of the facilities. The
City of Poway has been collecting impact fees for several types of facilities
but most have not been updated in several years. The Development
Impact Fee Study Report analyses existing and future facilities needs and
recommends updates to the development impact fees collected. The
report addressed five existing fees (water, sewer, traffic, park, and
housing) and two new fees (community/recreation and fire protection) In
addition, the optional habitat mitigation fee was reviewed.
The following public speakers addressed the various categories of
development impact fees.
Bruce Tarzy, representing Green Valley Civic Association, generally
supported changes to existing fees for water, sewer, traffic, parks and
drainage for both residential and commercial/industrial, and opposed the
affordable housing fee for single-family building permits.
Matthew Adams, representing the San Diego Building Industry
Association, opposed the increased fees proposal particularly in view of
these current economic times. 9086
