The City Council requested staff to create an ordinance similar to that adopted by the

possession without a prescription is legal. In addition to its legitimate uses, Clonazepam
has illegal uses and is also used by rapists to incapacitate victims.

FIRE PROTECTION
PARAMEDIC STAFFING
FIRE DEPARTMENT NEEDS ASSESSMENT
RESPONSE EFFECTIVENESS IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. In March of 1999, Council approved an
7022
Page 10 - CITY OF POWAY - August 29, 2000
appropriation for a consultant to conduct a needs assessment for the Fire Department.
A detailed staffing and response effectiveness report has been completed by the
consultant, DMG Maximus and Associates. The consultant's report identified three key
issues to consider in developing an implementation plan for the expansion of additional
facilities, staffing and equipment:
1. Maintain or improve the current ISO rating in order to keep fire insurance
rates at a minimum especially in the commercial and industrial areas.
2. Provide enhanced coverage to the Pomerado Road corridor in order to
reduce the dependence on San Diego Fire Department resources that respond
daily to emergency incidents within Poway City limits.
3. Meet and maintain current Federal and State mandates and regulations.
The consultant's report also recommended the construction of a third fire station. Five
different station locations were identified via the use of computer software with the ideal
location being in the vicinity of Twin Peaks Road, between Pomerado Road and
Community Road. Design features for a new fire station would include providing space
for a new engine company, paramedic ambulance, rescue unit, wildland unit, and a future
truck company. The station size is estimated at ten thousand square feet.
With regards to staffing, one of the first safety considerations was to meet the current
OSHA requirements for the "Two-in/Two-out" regulation. Station 52 on Westling Court
does not meet this requirement as there are currently only three firefighters assigned on
that engine company. An increase of 21 new fire suppression personnel are being
requested. The proposed configuration would consist of five fire suppression personnel
per shift assigned to Station 51 on Community Road, four per shift assigned to Station 52
on Westling Court, and seven per shift assigned to the new station. Additionally, one Fire
Division Chief for Training and Human Resources and one Fire Inspector are also
proposed.
Implementation would also require the purchase of three new emergency vehicles for the
new station consisting of a paramedic ambulance, an engine company and a rescue unit
as well as a new vehicle for the position of Fire Division Chief for Training and Human
Resources.
The estimated total cost for the addition of Fire Station 53, apparatus, equipment, and
support staff is $7,088,894, which will be disbursed over the next three fiscal years with
annual operation and maintenance costs estimated to be $2,108,194.
7022
Page 11 - CITY OF POWAY - August 29, 2000
Council is being requested to authorize staff to:
1. Seek the services of an architect for planning site development and
architectural drawings for a new fire station located at Twin Peaks and
Community Roads, and appropriate $350,000 from the General Fund reserve
as a loan to the Redevelopment Agency in order to fund the preliminary work
or the construction of a new fire station.
2. Develop apparatus specifications, and go to bid for a new engine
company.
3. Amend the current budget to authorize the hiring of three new firefighters
from a current certified firefighter list to meet the OSHA minimum-staffing
requirement at Fire Station 52.
4. Amend the current budget to authorize the hiring of a new Fire Division
Chief to serve as the Training Officer and to authorize the purchase of a new
vehicle for this position.
The following people were present wishing to speak:
Scott Post, 1411 Foothill Drive, Vista, representing the Poway FirefighteFs Association,
spoke in support.
Douglas Duke, 13812 Olive Mill Way, spoke in opposition.
Sharon Rothenberger, 13341 Twin Circle Court, spoke in opposition.
David Evans, 13381 Twin Circle Court, spoke in opposition.
Chris Haskell, 14341 Sandown Court, spoke in opposition.

Motion by Councilmember Rexford, seconded by Councilmember Emery, to approve staff
recommendations as amended to not have the site designated as Twin Peaks and
Community Roads at this time. Motion carried unanimously.

ITEM 13 (203-11 )
LOT AVERAGING REQUIREMENTS
HIDDEN VALLEY RANCH
APPLICANT: ED MALONE
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. This is a request for Council interpretation on the
City's "lot averaging" requirement concerning the Hidden Valley Ranch property. The item
was scheduled for the August 15, 2000 meeting and continued to this evening at the
request of the applicant.
On May 6, 1999, Council held a pre-development conference for the Hidden Valley Ranch
development concept plan. The concept plan proposed a "lot averaged" residential
subdivision design with a minimum lot size of four (4) net acres. On Apdl 6, 2000, Council
held a workshop to consider Mr. Malone's application for a Pre-General Plan Amendment
(Pre-GPA 00-02) to redesignate the Hidden Valley Ranch property from Rural Residential
A (RR-A) to Planned Community (PC) in order to allow minimum one (1) net acre
residential lots with the approval of a specific plan and an associated tentative tract map.
To date, the applicant had not submitted a tentative tract map application and all other
associated applications and materials.
The applicant's engineer has submitted a letter of request dated July 21,2000 describing
the events that have transpired since staff's initial meeting with him in August 1998. The
letter also addresses the Council's directive to staff in March 1999 regarding the
application of the General Plan maximum 3:1 lot depth to width ratio to all subdivision map
applications. The letter concludes with a request that the project be determined to be in
the planning pipeline. In effect, the applicant is asking that he not be required to prepare
a conventional subdivision design meeting the standards in use today. This design will
establish the allowable density for the property.
The applicant has indicated that the average slope of the property is approximately 21
percent and the development density is 41 lots. City water is currently available to the
property. For subdivision purposes, the minimum residential lot size is eight (8) net acres.
It should be noted that staff has not yet fully reviewed or accepted the applicant's slope
analysis. It is the judgement of staff that the 41 lot density suggested by the applicant is
only the "theoretical" density for the subject property. In order to determine the actual
"allowable" density, both the slope analysis and the required conventional subdivision
design would have to be submitted.
The General Plan provisions regarding "lot averaging" require that the project proponent
clearly demonstrate, through submission of a conventional subdivision design, that the
proposed number of lots could be created without lot averaging. In this case, the
7O25
Page 13 - CITY OF POWAY - August 29, 2000
conventional design would have to demonstrate that the proposed number of lots have
been calculated based upon the average and individual slope criteria and minimum lot
size formula. Additionally, the design would incorporate the General Plan 3:1 lot depth
to width ratio, as directed by the Council in March 1999.
The following person was present wishing to speak:
Mark Brencick, project engineer, 9555 Genesee Avenue, Suite 200, San Diego,
representing Landmark Consulting spoke in support of the request and responded to
questions of the Council.
Motion by Councilmember Goldby, seconded by Deputy Mayor Higginson, to allow the
Hidden Valley Ranch project density to be based upon the conventional subdivision
design prepared prior to March of 1999. Motion carried 4-1 with Councilmember Emery
voting "no."
