A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF POWAY, CALIFORNIA
APPROVING MINOR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
APPLICATION (MDRA) 08-08
ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NUMBER 314-840-09
WHEREAS, MDRA 08-08, submitted by Scott Okeson, Owner, requests approval
to construct a 6,402-square-foot, single-story, single-family residence, with a 3,121-
square-foot attached garage on a 5.2-acre property located on Del Poniente Road
The property is zoned Rural Residential A (RR-A) and IS located within the
Hillside/Ridgeline Review area, and
WHEREAS, on February 17, 2009, 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. Pursuant to Section 15162 of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) Guidelines, subsequent environmental review, or notice, is not required since
the project is within the scope of the Mitigated Negative Declaration, which was adopted
in conjunction with the original approval of Tentative Tract Map (TTM) 89-09 on
November 20, 1990, under Resolution No P-90-87A.
Section 2: Pursuant to the Poway Subarea Habitat Conservation Plan (PSHCP), a
biological survey was prepared for the property on October 30, 2009, by William T
Everett, a Certified Biological Consultant at Everett and Associates. The site consists of
472 acres of Chamise Chaparral (CHP), 048 acres of disturbed area, for a total of 52
acres Project grading and Fire Fuel Management Zones will impact approximately
1 9 acres, of this, 1 83 acres will be CHP and 015 acres the previously disturbed
driveway area. Additionally, the project will temporarily impact habitat beyond this area
resulting from the project's septic system The septic field will be revegetated
Mitigation for permanent project impacts will be achieved by establishment of a
Biological Conservation Easement over the remaining approximate 3 acres of onsite
habitat.
A. The proposed project site is inside the mitigation area, the Twin Peaks Biological
Core and Linkage Area (BCLA) and the Planned Resource Preservation Area
(PRPA) No 10 of the PSHCP The mitigation is consistent with and furthers the
implementing objectives of the PSHCP since mitigation will be provided in
compliance with the executed Master Mitigation Agreement recorded on the
property at the San Diego County Recorder's Office on August 26, 2003 for the
Williams Ranch project.
Resolution No P-09-06
Page 2
B The overall preservation of habitat within the Mitigation Area, the Twin Peaks
BCLA, and PRPA 10 will contribute toward the building of the ultimate total
mitigation area preserve system of the PSHCP since mitigation will be provided
in compliance with the executed Master Mitigation Agreement for the Williams
Ranch project.
C The mitigation will be to the long-term benefit of the covered species and their
habitats, in that the recordation of a Biological Conservation Easement over an
area of undisturbed and unencumbered habitat will promote a meaningful
addition to the assembly of a viable regional system of interconnected natural
habitat resources, habitat linkages, buffers, and wildlife corridors, since it will
permanently preserve approximately 3 acres of habitat onsite, in compliance with
the executed Master Mitigation Agreement for the Williams Ranch project.
D The mitigation will foster the incremental implementation of the PSHCP In an
effective and efficient manner in that the habitat will be preserved onsite
contiguous to other preserved habitat areas
Section 3 The findings, in accordance with Poway Municipal Code (PMC) Chapter
1752, to approve Minor Development Review Application 08-08 to construct a 6,402-
square-foot, single-story, single-family residence, and an attached 3,121-square-foot
garage on a 5.2-acre property located on Del Poniente Road, are as follows
A. That the home and garage have been sited to minimize landform alteration, and
conform to City zoning and grading standards Therefore, the proposed use
respects the interdependence of land values and aesthetics to the benefit of the
City; and
B That the approved project will not have an adverse affect on the aesthetics,
health, safety, or architecturally-related impact upon adjoining properties as the
residence is consistent with surrounding residences. Therefore, the proposed
design, size, and scale of the proposed addition is compatible with and will not
adversely affect, or be materially detrimental to adjacent uses, residents,
buildings, structures, or natural resources; and
C That the granting of the MDRA would not be materially detrimental to the public
health, safety, or welfare since the proposed use will complete improvements
necessary for the new residence, and
D That the project has been designed to minimize impacts on the surrounding
community by utilizing a low-profile architectural design, and earth-toned wall and
roof materials Therefore, the proposed development respects the public
concerns for the aesthetics of development; and
Resolution No P-09-06
Page 3
E. That the proposed use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or
welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity nor be
contrary to the adopted General Plan because it will meet all development
requirements, and
F That the proposed development will comply with each of the applicable
provisions of the Zoning Ordinance and the General Plan.
Section 4 The findings, pursuant to Government Code Section 66020 for the public
improvements, and needed as a result of the proposed development to protect the
public health, safety, and welfare are made as follows.
A. The design and improvements of the proposed development are consistent with
all elements of the Poway General Plan, as well as City Ordinances, because all
necessary facilities will be available to serve this project. The construction of
public improvements is needed as a result of the proposed development to
protect the public health, safety, and welfare as identified below'

nest(s) be discovered, the grading operation shall cease in that area and
be directed away from the Gnatcatcher nest(s) to a location greater than
SOO feet away from the nest(s) If grading is required to stop due to the
presence of active nests, the applicant shall be required to provide erosion
control to the satisfaction of the City Engineer This paragraph must be
included as a note on the cover sheet of the clearing/grading plan.
16 Upon completion of the clearing/grading activities, the applicant's biologist
shall submit to the Director of Development Services a biological
monitoring report summarizing the daily observations of the biologist,
including whether any Gnatcatchers or evidence of active Gnatcatcher
nests were present during clearing and grading activities within the area
and any habitat within SOO feet of said area.
