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.

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

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:

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

DATE: January 26, 1995
SUBJECT: Bowron Road Housing
On behalf of the Redevelopment and Housing Advisory Committee, I am writing Fo
advise the Council/Redevelopment Agency of the Committee's thoughts on several
options now being considered by the Council/Redevelopment Agency relating to the
location of the Library and Sheriff's facilities.
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.

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.

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:
