ITEM 1 (203-21)
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
SPECIFIC PLAN SP 02-01
ALLOWABLE USES
POWAY PLAZA SHOPPING CENTER
APPLICANT: CITY OF POWAY
APNs: 317-490-71, 75, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81,82 and 83
Deputy Mayor Emery opened the public hearing. Staff report by City Manager
Bowersox. On March 26, 2002, the City Council initiated Specific Plan 02-01 to limit
uses permitted in the Poway Plaza Shopping Center to protect the commercial viability
of the center and the Poway Road commercial corridor. Last year the City and the
Poway Chamber of Commerce co-sponsored four community workshops specifically
targeted at local business owners, and surrounding property owners along Poway
Road. The goal of the workshops was to reintroduce the Poway Road Specific Plan,
determine priorities and concerns regarding revitalization, and identify City-supported
funding programs to promote, and assist in, revitalization of businesses and the center.
Another tool to assist the City and supporting businesses in the revitalization effort is the
use of a specific plan. The Economic Development Division of the Redevelopment
Services Department has identified several centers that are in need of revitalization and
7523
protection from economic degradation resulting from non-commercial and non-retail
uses that do not support the center-wide vitality. The proposed specific plan is the first
of potentially more that may be required to promote revitalization of a center by
preventing further economic degradation.
Development Services Director Fritz gave an overview of the proposed Specific Plan.
The Poway Plaza Shopping Center was designed based on a main anchor suite of
approximately 40,500 square feet and a secondary anchor of approximately 18,150
square feet. Due to the depth of the parcel and corresponding shopping center design,
many of the smaller suites within the center do not have the visibility to Poway Road to
make them commercially viable. The permanent loss of the anchor tenant could
economically reduce the shopping center to the equivalent of a typical strip center,
providing only limited commercial and economic support to the center. In an effort to
prevent further economic degradation of this center, the proposed plan would limit the
types of land uses available to the major and secondary anchor tenant spaces within
the center and allow new tenants that would assist in restoring the commercial viability
to the Poway Plaza Shopping Center and surrounding businesses.
The following people spoke in opposition to the plan:
Mike Moser, 4365 Executive Dr., #900, San Diego
Will Gustafson
Kevin Sullivan, 613 W. Valley Pkwy., Escondido
John Jennings, 4520 Executive Dr., #111, San Diego
Kari Desgalier, 501 W. Broadway, San Diego
General discussion ensued.
Motion by Councilmember Rexford, seconded by Councilmember Goldby, to continue
the public hearing to June 4, 2002. Motion carried 3-1 with Councilmember Higginson
voting "no" and Mayor Cafagna absent.
ITEM 3 (701-04 #557)
FIRST READING/ORDINANCE NO. 557
ADMINISTRATIVE CITATIONS AND
PENALTIES
Deputy Mayor Emery opened the public hearing and read the title of the ordinance, "An
Ordinance of the City of Poway, California, Amending Chapter 1.08 and Adding Chapter
1.10 of the Poway Municipal Code Pertaining to Administrative Citations and Penalties."
Staff report by City Attorney Eckis. At the City Council meeting of December 11, 2001,
during the review of the modification to the conditions of approval for Poway Honda, the
7524
City Council gave direction to draft an ordinance to provide the option of applying a
monetary penalty of violations. This was in response to the frustration experienced by
residents affected by violations and the length of time taken by the violator to bring the
matter into compliance. The City Council reviewed a draft of this ordinance at its
meeting of February 19, 2002. The ordinance would provide an additional tool in the
City's ongoing efforts to protect health, welfare and safety through the enforcement of
local codes. The issuance of a citation would occur only when all other methods of
voluntary compliance have not succeeded and it is clear that the violator is not being
cooperative in his/her efforts. It should also be noted that this new ordinance would not
affect the City Council's current ability to modify or revoke a CUP or MCUP for
noncompliance with conditions of approval and the Poway Municipal Code.
The following person was present wishing to speak:
Christian Todesco, 12640 Pedriza Dr., spoke in support of the ordinance.
Motion by Councilmember Higginson, seconded by Councilmember Goldby, to waive
further reading and continue the public hearing to May 14, 2002 for second reading and
adoption. Motion carried 4-0 with Mayor Cafagna absent.
