AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF POWAY,AMENDING SECTION
2140, et. seq. OF THE SANDIEGO COUNTY ZONING ORDIN-
ANCE ADOPTED BY REFERENCE, ESTABLISHING A MAXIMUM
DENSITY DESIGNATOR WITHIN URBAN RESIDENTIAL USE (R-U)
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF POWAY, CALIFORNIA DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council finds:
(a) The City has provided for its appropriate share
of regional housing needs pursuant to the City of Poway General Plan.
(b) As the City of Poway was incorporated on Dec-
ember 1, 1980, specific housing programs have yet to be adopted. A
plan considering housing needs of all economic segments of the City
of Poway is desirable and will be adopted by this Council.
(c) That current parking requirements on multi-
residential developments have caused a public hazard on the City
streets; that the adoption of this Ordinance will mitigate that hazard
by providing for more space for parking purposes within multi-
residential developments. By mitigating this public hazard, this
Ordinance will promote the public health, safety and welfare.
(d) In balancing the needs for multi-residential
housing within the City against the impact of excessive multi-family
developments upon public services, it is in the best interest of the
City of Poway to reduce the previously allowed density designator
to more equally balance the need as against the impact on those
services.
Section 2.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the San
Diego County Zoning Ordinance, adopted by reference by the City of
Poway, the maximum density designator for Urban Residential Use
(R-U), section 2140, et. seq. of said Ordinance, shall be established
as being 10.9 (dwelling units per acre).
(b) Shouldapplicant propose construction of multi-
family rental units, the maximum density designator may be 14.5..

(c) A Major Use Permit may be granted in this zone
to allow for an additional 50 percent density bonus for housing for
the elderly provided that:
1. Occupancy of all dwelling units on the
lot or building site is limited to low and
moderate income elderly families as defined
by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development Regulations. Tenant income eligi-
bility shall be determined by the City Council
or its designee.
2. No dwelling unit on a lot or building site
subject to a use permit granted pursuant to
this paragraph may be converted to condominium
or cooperative ownership.
3. Rents for units constructed pursuant to
this paragraph shall be affordable to low and
moderate income elderly households. Maximum
rents shall be defined in a contractual agree-
ment between the developer and the City Council
or its designee.
4. A finding must be made that the density
increase permitted is commensurate with the
social purpose served in terms of provision
of affordable rents, and that the project
does not create an undue concentration of low
income households in an area.
