ITEM 2 (203-14)
DENSITY
BREIHAN PROJECT
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. Council directed staff to prepare a report
discussing how only 50 dwelling units were allocated to the Breihan Housing Site. A total
of 289 dwelling units were anticipated within the 945 acres of residentially zoned land in
the South Poway Planned Community, with 50 for the proposed Breihan Mobile Home
Park. A total of 251 of the 289 residential units have been allocated to various residential
projects within the South Poway Planned Community, leaving 38 unallocated units. The
Council has determined that sufficient unit densities had already been allocated and the
remaining 38 unallocated units were no longer needed. It is the City Attorney's opinion
that any unit increase in density for the Breihan project must be retrieved from the
unallocated units. To do otherwise would conflict with the provisions of Proposition FF.
Mayor Cafagna and Councilmember Emery, Deputy Mayor Higginson and Councilmember
Rexford concurred that the prior intention of the Council was to make these remaining 38
unallocated units go away.
Councilmember Goldby stated he supported going to the community through the election
process (Proposition FF) to see if they supported the adding of additional units.
The following person was present wishing to speak:
Chris Cruse, 13734 Utopia, spoke in opposition

Councilmember Goldby voting "no."
ITEM 3 (701-04)
INITIATION OF ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT
CRAFT FAIRS IN RESIDENTIAL ZONES
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. The City has received a request from Linda Gaut
to adopt an ordinance that would allow arts and crafts shows to occur within the City's
residential zoning districts. She had been operating a seasonal crafts show at her
previous residence. The zoning ordinance does not allow this type of use in a residential
zone. When she moved to her current residence on Aubrey Street, the City received
complaints from the surrounding residents. She was advised at that time that the use was
not allowed by City codes.
In order to allow the use to operate, the City is being requested to amend the zoning
ordinance to allow this type of use via an administrative permit. Such an ordinance would
apply to all residential districts in the City and would create an avenue for a limited
commercial use within the residential neighborhoods. Additionally, this would create a
new permit precess to be administered by the Development Services Department. The
permit would be issued by staff and would have to comply with performance standards to
ensure no impacts to the surrounding neighborhood. Pdor to issuance of any permit, the
surreunding neighborhood would be notified (minimum 500 foot mailout). If there was
neighborhood opposition, the matter would be scheduled for review by the Council.
The following people were present wishing to speak:
Kevin McNamara, 12919 Corte Juana, spoke in support
Sabine Nguyen Hort, 14721 Fairtree Terrace, spoke in support
R. Leopold, Marigold Drive, spoke in opposition
Linda and Stacy Gaut, 13664 Adrian Street, applicant, spoke in support
Anita Kennedy, 13628 Marigold Drive, spoke in support
Motion by Mayor Cafagna, seconded by Councilmember Rexford, to allow the November
and December shows only to proceed with restricted parking on the Poinsettia side of the
street and utilization of the McNamara site. Motion carried unanimously.
