A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF POWAY, CALIFORNIA,
APPROVING THE EIGHTH AMENDMENT TO THE
JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT
SAN DIEGO ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS
WHEREAS, in November 1988, the San Diego County Electorate approved
Proposition C, the Regional Planning and Growth Control Measure; and
WHEREAS, in order to implement this measure, a Blue Ribbon Committee was
formed to draft a report by June 1989;
WHEREAS, the report of the Blue Ribbon Co, m,,,ittee recommended that the San
Diego County Association of Governments would provide the best means of
addressing regional growth issues; and
WHEREAS, the Poway City Council has expressed the need for a city to retain
autonomy to make its own land use decisions.
NOW THEREFORE, be it hereby resolved that the Poway City Council approves
the Eighth Amendment to the Joint Powers Agreement San Diego Association of
Governments which creates a Regional Planning and Growth Management Review
Board.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that as the Regional Planning and Growth Management
Review Board begins its deliberations regarding growth related issues that it
give particular consideration to the following concerns of the City of Poway:

e
The regional plan cannot have mandatory land use planning effect upon indi-
vidual cities. The determination of consistency of a local general plan
with the regional shall not compel a city to bring its plan into conformance
with the regional plan.
The regional plan must allow for local legal mandates. Poway voters enacted
in November 1988 Proposition FF. Proposition FF requires voter approval
over density increases within the Rural Residential Zones {1 acre and larger
lots} which encompass about 75 percent of Poway's 40 square miles and repre-
sents most of the undeveloped land. Thus, the voters, not the Council,
largely control the residential capacity of Poway.
The regional plan must allow for local bonded indebtedness requirements.
Bonded indebtedness in the form of Mello-Roos and other assessment districts
has been placed upon certain properties in anticipation of orderly and
timely development of certain types. Any mandated changes in these land
uses would breech the terms of that indebtedness.
The regional plan must allow for local redevelopment obligations. A redeve-
lopment plan with specific land uses has been adopted. This plan has both
time and funding caps placed upon it by statute. This plan's implementation
is critical in alleviating a number of concerns regarding employment, econo-

mic development, infrastructure, blight, and affordable housing. A mandated
regional land use redistribution could threaten the redevelopment plan and
the financial security of the City.
The regional plan must allow for local environmental concerns. An environ-
mental impact report for a regionally imposed project may find that the pro-
ject is in conflict with the local environment. The existence of a regional
plan should not be used as an overriding consideration in order to force a
project on a city.
PASSED, ADOPTED AND APPROVED, by the City Council of the City of Poway,
California, at a regular meeting thereof this 16th day of January, 1990.
