Bowersox, City Ma~u~ INITIATED BY: John D. Fitch, Assistant City Manager~TM DATE: February 7, 1995 SUBJECT: Poway Sheriff Substation Site Review ABSTRACT At their December 13, 1994 meeting, the City Council requested that a report be prepared indicating potential sites where a new Poway Sheriff Substation could be located and that the report indicate the advantages and disadvantages of each of the potential sites. At their January 10, 1995 meeting, the consensus of the majority of the City Council was to consider locating the proposed Poway Sheriff Station on the east end of the Huber Property which is located at the northeast corner of Bowron Road and Civic Center Drive, and to move a portion of the affordable housing project that has been planned for that site to the Western Lumber property. It is recommended that the City Council designate a site for the Sheriff Station so that discussions can resume with the County of San Diego regarding the construction of the Poway Sheriff Station. BACKGROUND The Poway Sheriff station is currently located on Pomerado Road south of Poway Road in a 5,780-square foot area located within a commercial office building. Due to the need for additional office space, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors on March 1, 1994 authorized the County Director of General Services to begin a market search for a 12,000-square foot Poway Sheriff Station and to initiate concurrent discussions with the City of Poway for a sheriff station site. Although the Board of Supervisors authorized the acquisition of a 12,000 square foot facility, the San Diego County Sheriff's Department has advised the City of Poway that they need a facility with a minimum of 15,000 square feet. The additional space is needed because of the initiation of the Senior Patrol Program and the hiring of additional personnel, both of which occurred after the County had completed their space needs study. The Sheriff has also indicated a need for a larger evidence and bicycle storage area and the need for room to expand to handle personnel assigned to the 4-S Ranch area. 4 199s ITEM , 2 of t2 FEB ? 199S ITEM ,6 Agenda Report - Poway Sheriff Station February 7, )995 Page 2 In May of 1994, the City proposed to the County that the new sheriff station be located on the Western Lumber site adjacent to the library. The proposal, which the County agreed to in concept, included the City acquiring a portion of the Western Lumber site from the Redevelopment Agency, the City selling revenue bonds to cover the cost of land acquisition, design, site preparation, and construction and the City entering into a long-term lease with the County to rent the facility. Even though the City Council decided not to locate the sheriff station adjacent to the library on the Western Lumber site, the County indicated a desire to continue to work with the City in locating and developing a new sheriff station. At their January 10, 1995 meeting, the City Council reviewed a list of 18 potential sites, in addition to the Western Lumber site, for locating the sheriff station. At that meeting, it was the consensus of a majority of the City Council to consider locating the sheriff station on the east end of the former Huber property. This site, which is located on Civic Center Drive across the street and west of the City Hall and Fire Station, would provide good public access, is centrally located and is adjacent to the Civic Center Complex. The 4.4-acre Huber property was purchased by the Poway Redevelopment Agency in 1994 for the purpose of building a senior housing project. The concept that was discussed by the City Council at their January 10, ]995 meeting included constructing the sheriff station on the easterly most 2 acres of the property; developing a family housing project on the remaining 2.4 acres of the site; and developing a senior housing project on 2 acres of the Western Lumber site that would be adjacent to the proposed Poway Library. At their January 10 meeting, the City Council requested that this idea be referred to the Redevelopment and Housing Advisory Committee for their comment. In addition, the City Council requested that staff prepare a drawing that would show the relative amount of area that would be assigned to each use and how many units would be developed on each location. At their January 23, 1995 meeting, this concept was brought before the Redevelopment and Housing Advisory Committee for their comment. As indicated in the attached letter (Attachment 1} from the Chairman of the Redevelopment and Housing Advisory Committee, the Committee supported the development of a senior housing project on this site as was originally planned. FINDINGS At thelr January 10, 1995 meeting, the City Council reviewed a list of 18 potential sites for a sheriff station. At that meeting, it was the consensus of the majority of the City Council to consider locating the Poway Sheriff Station on the Huber property; however, it was requested that the matter be referred to the Redevelopment and Housing Advisory Committee for their comment. As indicated below, the Chairman oF the Committee has reported ti)at the Redevelopment and FEB 1 4 1995 ITEM 3 of 32 FEB 7 1995' ITEM ,6 Agenda Roport - Poway Sheriff Station February 7, 1995 Page 3 Housing Advisory Committee is opposed to this plan: "... After their discussion, the Committee's position was that they did not support either splitting the parcel or developing a mixed senior/family affordable housing project. The major reason mentioned during the discussion was the adverse impact on development costs for developing two types of projects, since each project requires a separate financing program. The Committee was also concerned with a mixed project based on actual experiences reported to them, and their own personal preferences. They also feel it was more desirable to keep the project on a single parcel for management and efficiency reasons. In closing, it was the Committee's strong opinion to proceed with the Bowron Road site as a senior project as originally planned." In addition, the City Council requested that a schematic drawing be prepared that would indicate the relative amount of area that would be assigned to each use and how many housing units would be developed on each location. As indicated in the attached drawing (Attachment 2}, the sheriff station would be located on 2 of the 4.4-acre Huber site which would leave 2.4 acres for the development of either senior or family housing. If family housing was developed on the 2.4 acres, it is estimated that approximately 49 units could be developed. If senior housing was developed on the 2.4 acres, the property would yield approximately 60 units. If senior housing was developed adjacent to the proposed library on 2 acres of the Western Lumber site, approximately 50 units could be constructed. If family housing was developed on 2 acres of the Western Lumber site, it would yield approximately 41 units. If the City Council elects not to locate the sheriff station on the Huber property, they may choose to look at one of the other sites that was discussed in the January 10, 1995 Agenda Report regarding potential sites for the Poway Sheriff Station (Attachment 3). The advantages and disadvantages of each of the following sites was discussed in the January 10 report: Potential Poway Sheriff Substation Sites Parcel Number Location Size Zone 1. 323-203-20 NE Evanston and Poway 2.27 acres CG 2. 217-101-06 NW Tarascan and Poway 1.54 acres CG 3. 317-101-24 & 27 SW Hilleary and Community 4.44 acres RA 4. 321-190-28 S side of Twin Peaks W of Circle K 2.15 acres RR-C 5. 314-194-52 SW Twin Peaks and Midland 5.54 acres RS-4 6. 317-152-14 SW Oak Knoll and Pomerado 2.92 acres CG 7. 317-130-47 NE Poway and Midland (K-Mart) 9.07 acres CG 8.

Huber Property In addition to the ~bove sites, it has been suggested that the City Council consider locating the sheriff station on a 1.9-acre site at the northwest corner of Midland Road and Temple Street. This site, which is partially owned by the Poway Redevelopment Agency, is located across the street from Old Poway Park. Based upon the review of the advantages and disadvantages of all of the sites listed in the January 10, 1995 report, the Sheriff's Department was asked to rank the sites in order of their most preferred site. In their ranking, the Sheriff's Department included the Western Lumber site as their most preferred site. The Sheriff's Department ranked the top 5 sites as follows: 1. Western Lumber 2. Huber Property 3. Southeast Corner of Poway Road and Bowron Road 4. South Side of Twin Peaks West of the Circle K Market 5. Southwest Twin Peaks Road and Midland Road ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The subject matter of this report is exempt from environmental review.

The Committee discussed the concept of splitting the Bowron Road site (previously known as Huber/Opfer) into two approximately equal size parcels, with the eastern parcel being used for the Sheriff Substation, in exchange for an equal parcel on the Western Lumber site. The Committee also looked at possibly developing a part - senior/ part family project on either the intact Bowron site or the split site scenario. After their discussion, the Committee's position was that they did not support either splitting the parcel or developing a mixed senior/family affordable housing project. The major reason mentioned during the discussion was the adverse impact on development costs for developing two types of projects, since each project requires a separate financing program. The Committee was also concerned with a mixed project based on actual experiences reported to them, and their own personal preferences. They also feel it was more desirable to keep the project on a single parcel for management and efficiency reasons. In closing, it was the Committee's strong opinion to proceed with the Bowron Road site as a senior project as originally planned. We appreciate the opportunity to provide our comments to the City Council/Redevelopment Agency. lg cy: James L. Bowersox, City Manager John D. Fitch, Assistant City Manager Warren H.

Bowersox, City Manager INITIATED BY: John D. Fitch, Assistant City Manage4~ DATE: January 10, 1995 SUBJECT: Review of Potential Sites For The Poway Sheriff Substation ABSTRACT At their December 13, 1994 meeting the City Council requested that a report be prepared indicating potential sites where a new Poway Sheriff Substation could be located and that the report indicate the advantages and disadvantages of each of the potential sites. It is recommended that the City Council review the list of proposed sites and provide staff with guidance regarding the siting of a new sheriff substation. BACKGROUND The Poway Sheriff station is currently located on Pomerado Road south of Poway Road in a 5,780 square foot area located within a commercial office building. Due to the need for additional office space, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors on March 1, 1994 authorized the County Director of General Services to begin a market search for a 12,000 square foot Poway Sheriff Station and to initiate concurrent discussions with the City of Poway for a sheriff station site. Although the Board of Supervisors authorized the acquisition of a 12,000 square foot facility, the San Diego County Sheriff's Department has advised the City of Poway that they need a facility with a minimum of 15,000 square feet primarily due to the initiation of the Senior Patrol Program and the hiring of additional personnel both of which occurred after the County had completed their space needs study. The Sheriff has also indicated a need for a larger evidence and bicycle storage area and the need for room to expand to handle personnel assigned to the 4-S Ranch area. FINDINGS Tho San Dlugo County Real Property Management Division indicated that tho primary Factor that thuy would uso In selecting a now site is tile cost of tile facllity,~ Iluwovur, othur Factors th,~t they askud to have considered are: (I) a preference ~£B 1~ 1995 ITEM ,51 LO of 32 JAN tO 1995 Agenda Raper: - Proposed Sheriff SLaLlon St:os January 10, 1995 Page 2 that the sheriff station to be located in a commercial/business district; (2) a preference that the site not be located in proximity to residential areas; (3) if the station is located in an existing building, it is preferred that the County Sheriff be the sole occupant; (4) .if an existing building is selected that it has to either meet or be capable of being retrofitted to comply with Essential Facilities requirements in Title 24 of the California Building Code; (5) that adequate parking be available, including the ability to provide secured parking; and {6) that the site be located on a major arterial street with capability to make left hand turns into the station from the street, (i.e. no medians which would prevent such turns). In addition, the Sheriff's Department and the City's Planning Services Department have indicated a desire to have the station located in or near the Civic Center complex so that it would be adjacent to other public uses and easily accessible by the public. It was also noted that the site should be approximately 2 acres in order to meet the City's development standards and provide sufficient parking. Based upon the above factors, the Assistant City Manager, Director of Planning Services, Director of Safety Services, and the Poway Sheriff Captain selected the following sites for review as potential sites for the proposed Poway Sheriff Station: - Potential Poway Sheriff Substation Sites Parcel Number Location Size Zone 1. 323-203-20 NE Evanston and Poway 2.27 acres CG 2. 217-101-06 NW Tarascan and Poway 1.54 acres CG 3. 317-101-24 & 27 SW Hilleary and Community 4.44 acres ~ 4. 321-190-28 S side of Twin Peaks W of Circle K 2.15 acres RR-C 5. 314-194-52 SW Twin Peaks and Midland 5.54 acres RS-4 6. 317-152-14 SW Oak Knoll and Pomerado 2.92 acres CG 7. 317-130-47 NE Poway and Midland (K-Mart) 9.07 acres CG 8.
