ITEM #1 (203-18)
PRE-GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 01-01 A&B
Introduction by City Manager Bowersox. On April 4, 1989, Council adopted a Resolution
providing for review of pro-applications for General Plan Amendments. The purpose of this
review is to allow the proponent of the pro-application and staff to ascertain the Council's
level of interest in the request. The review is considered advisory only, and if the applicant
wishes to proceed, the formal public application must be submitted by February 28, 2002,
for consideration at a publiC hearing in June.
Staff report by Development Services Director Fritz.
Pre application, General Plan Amendment 01-01A
Applicant/Owner: Wes Groh
Location: Northwest corner of Poway Road and Match Point Drive, APNs 323-190-32, 33
& 38
Pamel Size: 1.37, 0.46 and 0.91 (2.74) acres
Current land Use and Zoning Designation: Residential Single Family -2 (RS-2)
Requested Land Use and Zoning Designation: Residential Single Family-4 (RS-4)
The applicant is requesting consideration of a General Plan Amendment for a 3-parcel,
2.74-acre site located on the northwest corner of Poway Road and Match Point Drive. The
subject property includes 3 pamels, 2 of which are developed with single-family homes.
Over the past five years the applicant has informally requested several times consideration
for additional density with little or no support from the City. Last year Mr. Groh sought to
have his property designated as an affordable housing site. The applicant is now
requesting to redesignate the subject pamels form RS-2 to RS-4 so as to provide the
opportunity to further subdivide the property.
A friend of the owner, civil engineer from 2415 C, La Costa Avenue, Carlsbad, spoke in
support of the request.
The Council expressed objections to the proposal as it would increase the density.
Pre application, General Plan Amendment 01-01B
Applicant/Owner: David Hawkins, AINHumam Shihadeh

Page 3 - CITY OF POWAY - February 7, 2002
Location: east side of Old Pomerado Road opposite the Pomerado Oaks Trailer Park,
APNs: 317-232-22, 36 & 39.
Parcel Size: 1.21, 0.56 & 0.46 (2.23) acres
Current land Use and Zoning Designation: Commercial General (CG)
Requested Land Use and Zoning Designation: Residential Apartment (PA) or Residential
condominium (RC)
The applicant is requesting consideration of a General Plan Amendment for a 3-parcel,
2.23-acre site located on the east side of Old Pomerado road opposite the Pomerado Oaks
trailer Park. The Big Stone Lodge and associated outbuildings occupies the 1.21-acre
parcel. The other two parcels are vacant and had been previously used for parking for the
Big Stone Lodge. Between the subject vacant parcels are two City-owned parcels
associated with Beeler Creek, which were acquired and enhanced for wetland mitigation.
With the closure of the restaurant and entertainment functions of the Big Stone Lodge, the
owners continue to operate only the catering aspect of the business. The applicant is
requesting to redesignate the parcels to PA or RC so as to provide alternative land use
opportunities to the existing commercial zoning.
David Hawkins, AIA, representing the property owner, provided a brief verbal and poster
board presentation.
The Council expressed objections to the proposal, as it would increase the intensity in the
neighborhood.
ITEM #2 (1302-05)
PUBLIC ACCESS DEFIBRILLATION PROGRAM
Introduction by City Manager Bowersox. Fire Chief Krans provided a brief verbal
presentation on the program. Today, a new generation of defibrillators, called automated
external defibrillators (AEDs) make it possible for trained lay rescuers to deliver
defibrillation. The new AEDs are safe, effective, lightweight, Iow maintenance, easy to use,
and relatively inexpensive. Staff is recommending the purchase often units under Phase
One. Seven for placement at City facilities: Weingart Senior center, Poway Community
Park, Poway Library, Lake Poway, Poway Center for the Performing Arts, Old Poway Park
and a Park Ranger Vehicle and three for training and back up. Phase Two would include
placement at Meadowbrook Gymnasium, Twin Peaks Multipurpose Center, Poway
Sportsplex, and possibly in the Senior Volunteer Patrol vehicles. This phase also includes
coordinating the training for placement for weekend sporting events at City-owned fields.

It is estimated that the total cost for implementing Phase One will be about $34,600 and it
is anticipated training could begin in April with all Phase One AEDs in operation by June
30, 2002.
Councilmember Emery expressed concerns with the need for regional coordination, use of
the same logo and equipment so that once trained, if in another City and a need arises,
and assist could be made - more of a countywide program with uniformity rather than
individual.
Council concurred to support further exploration and directed staff to bdng an item back for
appropriation on a future consent calendar.
ITEM 3 (1601-01)
