Zip Lucidi, applicant, 11974 Avenue Consentido, San Diego, spoke in support and
requested confirmation that his building permit could be issued prior to the horse staging
area being completed and requested the bunkhouse be allowed to remain on the knoll
overlooking the site for security reasons.
Paul Cutshaw, 14636 Carlson Street, spoke in support.
DeAnne Erickson, 15051 Vali Hai Road, representing the Trails Committee, spoke in
support.
General discussion ensued with concerns being expressed regarding the water usage and
the loss of high quality coastal sage habitat.
City Attorney Eckis recommended the addition of language to the conditions of approval
that if Council determines an adverse impact from well water usage on surrounding wells,
they would have the ability to review and regulate the use of groundwater on the site.
With regards to the bunkhouse being placed on the knoll which has been determined to
be high quality coastal sage, the HCP requires that if there is a way to avoid disrupting the
site, it has to be done, mitigation is not applicable, use has to be avoided. Since there are
other locations on the site that could take the placement of the bunkhouse, the bunkhouse
has to be placed elsewhere.
Development Services Director Fritz cladfied that the revised Resolution provides for the
staging area to be done with the read improvements and not prior to the issuance of the
residential building permit. Additionally, that Conservation Easements are required for the
areas of undisturbed Coastal Sage.
Motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember Rexford, to close the
public hearing, issue a Mitigated Negative Declaration and adopt Planning Resolution No.

ITEM 18 (203-15)
COMPREHENSIVE SIGN PROGRAM 00-03
12740 DANIELSON COURT
APPLICANT: NAPOLI BUSINESS PARK
Introduction by City Manager Bowersox. Staff report by Development Services Director
Fritz. This is a request to approve a Comprehensive Sign Program for a multi-tenant, light
industrial center located at 12740 Danielson Court. The item was originally scheduled for
August 29, 2000 and continued to this evening's meeting at the request of the applicant.
Subsequent to the preparation of the staff report, it was noted that address signs have
been attached on each of the buildings that are seven feet in height. There are four
address signs located on each building. Each of these signs totals 77 square feet in area.
The development standards of the South Poway Specific Plan do not allow any wall signs
with a vertical height of more than three feet. In addition, the Poway Municipal Code
requires that the height of the address numbers located on the buildings be a minimum
of 18 inches in height to ensure the buildings are easily identified in the event of an
emergency. The size of the address signs that have been installed are in violation of the
City code. The applicant is requesting that they be allowed to keep the numbers for a
period of 15 years, after which they would be removed. In order to legalize the numbers,
the applicant would have to process a variance for both the height of the numbers as well
as the square footage, as they exceed the permitted wall signage for the buildings. An
application for a vadance and a noticed public hearing would be required. However, there
is no unique physical constraint on the site that would justify such large signs.
The following person was present wishing to speak:
Arthur Harris, 4918 N. Harbor Drive, San Diego, representing Johnson Harris Design
requested his client be allowed to keep the signage.
General discussion ensued.
Mr. Hards requested this item be continued to the Council Meeting of September 26, 2000
to allow for further dialogue with staff.
Motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember Rexford, to continue the
item to September 26, 2000. Motion carried 4-0 with Deputy Mayor Higginson absent.
