Res 99-028 RESOLUTION NO. 99-028
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF POWAY, CALIFORNIA
REGARDING ANNUAL DESIGNATION OF
INAPPROPRIATE AREAS FOR SECOND
DWELLING UNITS IN SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONES
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Poway has adopted an ordinance which
provides that second dwelling units may be located on the same lot as an existing single-
family dwelling except in those areas of the City determined by resolution to be
inappropriate for second units; and
WHEREAS, the ordinance further provides that a resolution shall be adopted
annually to designate which areas of the City do not have adequate water, sewer, or other
municipal services for second units or in which second units would have a significant
adverse impact on traffic flow; and
WHEREAS, the City has adopted a General Plan which establishes goals, policies,
and strategies for the future development of the City; and
WHEREAS, the successful implementation of the goals, policies, and strategies is
dependent on planned capacities of the infrastructure system, i.e., transportation,
wastewater, water, and drainage based on planned land use densities and intensities; and
WHEREAS, a study has been undertaken to determine the adequacy of City
services both currently and at build-out; and
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the City to ensure that traffic does not exceed the
capacity of the street system; and
WHEREAS, additional residents will add to the traffic on roadway segments over
which they must travel to reach services such as commercial establishments or
government facilities within the City and this additional traffic will exacerbate the congestion
and delays, further reducing the LOS below the current inadequate levels; and
WHEREAS the study concerning the adequacy of transportation facilities shows that
there are various segments of roadway which do not meet the LOS "D" minimum
requirements as shown on Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary for the public health, safety and welfare to ensure that
the capacity of public utility systems is not exceeded; and
Resolution No. 9 9 - 0 2 8

WHEREAS, the City of Poway has developed a master plan for infrastructure
systems to support residential, commercial and industrial development proposed within the
prescribed limit dictated by the General Plan and regional impacts from adjoining
communities; and
WHEREAS, the City of Poway currently has a treatment capacity with the City of
San Diego totaling 5.05 million gallons per day; and
WHEREAS, based on current wastewater flows and General Plan build out
conditions, the City of Poway will need approximately 6.0 million gallons per day of contract
treatment capacity along with corresponding transportation agreements; and
WHEREAS, each new secondary dwelling could be expected to add 240 gallons per
day of wastewater to the system; and
WHEREAS, the remaining contract wastewater capacity has been allocated to a
variety of categories and there exists no capacity for second dwelling units; and
WHEREAS, the North Basin Green Valley Creek Sewer Interceptor is at capacity
and will have to be replaced to provide sufficient capacity for General Plan build out
conditions; and
WHEREAS, the wastewater pumping system includes several small pumping
stations and an area pumping station called North Basin Camino del Valle Pump Station
which has a peak capacity of 1.2 MGD and has minimal reserve capacity which would be
exceeded by additional dwelling units above current planned densities which could result
in sewer overflows in the area; and
WHEREAS, the areas where sewerage treatment capacity is inadequate are shown
on Exhibit B (South and North Basins).
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT pursuant to Ordinance No. 456, the
City Council determines that applications for a second dwelling unit will not be accepted
if, at the point of access, the arterial roadway providing the most direct access to the site
has a LOS less that "D", and hereby adopts Exhibit A depicting those areas where second
units may not be built at this time as a result thereof; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT pursuant to Ordinance No. 456, the City
Council determines that applications for second dwelling units will not be accepted for
areas of the City in which there is inadequate sewerage treatment capacity and hereby
adopts Exhibit B depicting those areas where second units may not be built at this time as
a result of inadequate infrastructure or contract capacity.
Resolution No. 99 - 028

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT this resolution shall apply to any and all
