WHEREAS, on March 20, 1990 the city Council considered the
report and recommendation of the Poway Transportation Task Force
concerning the deletion of Old Coach Road from the General Plan as
a future collector arterial connection between Espola Road and

of the Task Force which concluded that the said connection is not
of regional significance and would not result in a positive impact
to improve the North Poway transportation and circulation problem.
The city Council directed its staff to bring forth a City-initiated
General Plan amendment item regarding the subject matter; and
WHEREAS, on April 24, 1990 the City Council initiated by

including the consideration of the proposed Old Coach Golf Estates
project applications, and a separate city-initiated application,
General Plan amendment (GPA 90-0lB); and
WHEREAS, the proposed Old Coach Golf Estates project does not
provide for the extension of Old Coach Road between Espola Road and
the project's northerly property line as a continuous public road
built to collector arterial standards, and therefore, said project
would be consistent with GPA 90-0lB, if approved; and
Resolution No. 90-098
