SOUTH POWAY BUSINESS PARK STATUS
Item introduced by City Manager Bowersox. The City Council requested a workshop

the current land use designations, uses allowed, properties that can be
developed, financial situation and possible new uses such as
retail/amusement/travel, city-owned golf course, Palomar College campus; housing,
and additional office.
Don Nue from the City of Carlsbad Planning Department made a presentation
regarding their process of changing a planned industrial park to
entertainment/travel uses with LegoLand, a resort hotel, and golf course.
Randy Wilkins, 14617 Acton Court, requested a public hearing on the land use
issues in South Poway and stated we need more information on alternative uses.
S. Robert Smith, 8815 Country Club, Spring Valley, with Smith/Smith
International, stated his desire to develop Poway Junction, a country/western
theme community, however potential investors want reasonable assurance that the
zoning is compatible. He suggested an entertainment overlay zone.
Larry Cruse, 13734 Utopia, asked questions regarding the Navy's allegations that
the proposed amphitheater is in their overflight area; requested the Code
citation regarding community college campuses being at least ten miles apart; and
asked what financial incentives the City of Carlsbad is giving LegoLand.

Poway Planned Community should have been notified of this meeting.

5455
APR 1 8 1995
Page 4 - CITY OF POWAY - March 21, 1995
He suggested that entertainment and retail uses are compatible but that
residential would be intrusive.
Council concurred they want to continue to consider this area first and foremost
a business park and not be soliciting other uses. However, they also concurred
they need to remain flexible to consider other uses that may be proposed, with
the exception of additional housing units. Councilmember Cafagna suggested one
possibility would bethe relocation of the auto dealers to South Poway and create
an auto park that would accommodate additional lines of vehicles. We would have
to look at the impact on Poway Road if the auto dealers relocated. Councilmember
Callery asked if there would ever be a need for a hotel to serve the business
park. Staff will come back with some information.
