Council

SUBJECT: Environmental Assessment, General Plan Amendment GPA 95-
01 B, Zoning Ordinance Amendment, ZOA 95-01, Zone Change ZC
95-01 and Poway Road Specific Plan SP-95-01
BACKGROUND
In the fall of 1991, the City Council appointed a committee to work with staff in the
preparation of a specific plan for the commercial areas on and near poway Road. The
Committee approved a draft plan on March 1, 1995 which was presented to the City
Council in a workshop on March 30, 1995. Council directed staff to schedule the draft
plan for formal consideration by the Council. The plan has also been presented to the
members of the Chamber of Commerce at their May 12, 1995 meeting.
FINDINGS
SPECIFIC PLAN
Since incorporation, the appearance of the poway Road area has greatly improved.
Landscaped medians have been installed and new centers have been built which include
setback and parking lot landscaping. A sign ordinance has been adopted and large non-
conforming signs have been replaced by smaller signs. Nevertheless, there is still work
to be done. The Poway Road Specific Plan Advisory Committee determined, however, that
rather significant steps would have to be taken in order to achieve further progress. The
specific plan which the committee has drafted is designed to accomplish a number of
specific tasks which the Committee believes are necessary in order to achieve the vision
outlined for the area. These are:
1. strengthen the quality of the visual environment
2. break up the monotonous highway commercial corridor
3. create a band of public uses adjacent to the town center
4. reduce the amount of "excess" commercially zoned land
5. establish a program of development incentives for property owners and
businesses.

Node Concept
One of the main strategies of the proposed plan is the "node concept" which would divide
Poway Road into four areas, Each of the nodes is designed to serve a different
commercial need of the community, The Community Business District would serve the
day-to-day shopping and service needs with uses that are very similar to those found there
today, The Mixed Use District, which is the area with the most potential for redevelopment,
would provide for an infusion of residential use in the area along with compatible retail,
financial and professional businesses. The Town Center is intended to become a focal
point for the community with an emphasis on entertainment opportunities such as
restaurants and movie theaters. The Automotive/General Commercial District at the east
end of Poway Road would continue to be the primary area for auto related commercial
activities and "stand alone" commercial uses.
Desion themes
In order to break up the linear appearance of the Poway Road area and to establish the
Town Center as a distinct area, separate design themes are proposed for each of the
nodes. Architectural guidelines and standards which reflect these themes are included in
the specific plan as are theme elements which would be included within the public right-of-
way, such as distinctive street trees, setback landscape treatments, signage styles and
"street furniture"..
The Community Business District and the Mixed Use District are proposed to have a
design theme which is characterized as "California ranch design". This style is
characterized by gabled, hipped or shed roof forms with wood siding, washed river rock
and brick building facades. Elements such as water towers and covered verandas would
also be appropriate. The street tree would be the California Sycamore and setback
landscaping would include berming and wood rail fencing with river rock pilasters.
Meandering sidewalks are called for in the Mixed Use District
The Town Center is proposed to receive a somewhat more formal treatment to reflect its
importance as the "downtown" and the fact that the main civic uses are located there. The
architectural style is rustic Spanish colonial. The buildings should incorporate cantilevered
balconies supported by heavy wood columns, towers, galleries, exterior stairways,
columns, arches, arcades, colonnades, pergolas and trellis elements. Existing
development at Town and Country Center, Creekside Plaza, Poway Plaza and the post
office have elements that are included in this style. These ties could be further enhanced
through renovations over time. For example, when Town and Country Center needs a new
roof, a rounded clay or concrete style tile could be chosen.
To continue the theme and provide identity for the Town Center, the street tree proposed
is the Canary Island Palm which is a tall, slender species of palm. These would be _
installed at curbside and in the medians in "soldier rows" with groupings of flower-filled

pots at their bases. Theme light fixtures would be installed along both sides of the road
and in the center medians as well. Sidewalks in the Town Center are proposed to be
widened to 10' so that pedestrians will be able to walk behind the trees, flower pots and
light fixtures. This will give a sense of protection and making walking along Poway Road
a more pleasant experience.
The proposed design for the Automotive/General Commercial District is a more up-to-date
theme along the lines of "post modern" architecture. This theme was selected because
it is consistent with many of the newer buildings in the area as well as reflective of the
high-tech image which automobile dealers prefer to project. The design theme would be
complemented by the Liquid Ambar street trees which will also provide fall color to that
portion of poway Road.
General Plan AmendmenUZonina Ordinance Amendment
In order to direct uses into districts as outlined above, it will be necessary to create new
land use categories within the Land Use Element of the General Plan and new zoning
categories with the Zoning Ordinance. Properties within the specific plan area, except for
City Hall and Fire Station One, which are appropriately zoned Public Facilities, and
Carriage Road Townhomes, which is appropriately zoned Residential Condominium, will
need to be redesignated to the appropriate zone for their district. These changes will be
accomplished by adoption of the attached General Plan Amendment resolution, Zoning
Ordinance Amendment and Zone Change.
Once the properties within the specific plan area have been redesignated, only four
properties in the city will retain Manufacturing Service (MS) zoning. These are three
properties on Garden Road, just east of Poway Road, and the Lutheran Church on poway
Road which is split-zoned MS/ Residential Single Family-2 (RS-2). These areas are not
appropriate for manufacturing uses and, in fact, the property owners have often
experienced difficulty finding appropriate uses that are allowed under the MS zoning. It
is staffs recommendation that the MS zone be eliminated and that the Garden Road
properties be redesignated Commercial Neighborhood (CN) which is the zoning carried
by Gordon's Market and the old 7-11 building which are located in the same area.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
An environmental initial study has been completed in order to assess potential
environmental impacts associated with the proposed specific plan, general plan
amendments and zoning ordinance amendments and it has been determined that there are
no significant adverse environmental impacts anticipated. The issuance of a Negative
Declaration is recommended.

WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of poway periodically finds it necessary to
amend Title 17 (Zoning Development Code) of its Municipal Code to respond to changing

the land use element to: 1) create four new commercial land use categories and delete the
Manufacturing Service (MS) and Commercial Community (CC) categories, and; 2)
redesignate properties in and adjacent to the poway Road Specific Plan area consistent
with the revised land use categories.
WHEREAS, in 1991 the City Council appointed The Poway Road Specific Plan
Advisory Committee with the following duties:
1. Identify the unique strengths of Poway Road's commercial base and devise
strategies for commercial revitalization based on those strengths.
2. Examine Poway Road zoning and make recommendations regarding
appropriate designations including possible automobile related designation
for property east of Gate Drive and "town center concept" for the area
between Quate Court and Gate Drive.
3. Prepare a final report to the City Council with recommendations for the
Poway Road Specific Plan; and
WHEREAS, the committee has completed a draft specific plan for the Poway Road
area and has recommended that the City Council adopt the plan; and
WHEREAS, the proposed specific plan would divide the Poway Road area into four
new zones which must be created before the specific plan can be adopted; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the zoning classification of the property
should also be changed to maintain consistency with the General Plan as required by
Section 65860 of the California Government Code; and
WHEREAS, an Environmental Initial Study of potential adverse significant
environmental impacts of proposed Z 95-01 was conducted by staff and the study
concluded that no adverse significant effects will occur and a proposed Negative
Declaration has been prepared for the City Council's consideration, adoption, and issuance;

occurs in a relatively brief, definitive
period of time while long-term impacts will
endure well into the future.) - _-X
c. Does the project have impacts which are
individually limited, but cumulatively
considerable? (Cumulatively considerable
means that the incremental effects of an
individual project are considerable when
viewed in connection with the effect of
past projects, and probable future
projects.) - - X
d. Does the project have environmental
effects which will cause substantial

111. DETERMINATION
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
~ I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on
the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
D I find that although the proposed project could have a significant
effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this
case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have
been added to the project. A DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED.
D I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the
environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
1. SOILS and GEOLOGY
The proposed General Plan amendment (GPA and Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) amend the
text of the General Plan and of the poway Municipal Code respectively and has no direct impact on
the physical environment. The rezoning of the four parcels will not impact any soil or geologic condition
in that the subject properties have been previously developed with commercial businesses and a
church. Should any of the subject parcels redevelop all related grading shall be in compliance with City
Grading Ordinance.
2. HYDROLOGY
Adoption of the proposed GPA and ZOA and associated zone changes will not change the direction
of flowing streams, or absorption rates, drainage patterns, or the rate and amount of surface water
runoff_ in that the GPA,and ZOA propose only text changes. Secondly, there are no blueline streams
or water courses on the subject parcels that would be impacted by the adoption of the a zone change.
3. AIR QUALITY
As all four of the parcels proposed for redesignation are currently developed and, therefore, will not
create any new air quality impacts. A separate environmental analysis will be required for a all new land
uses should a parcel be redeveloped.
4.15. FLORA/FAUNA
As previously noted the four parcels subject to redesignation includes a church, a mini-warehouse, a
masonry contracting business and an undevelopedlot. Developed parcels have ornamental landscaping
surrounding the facilities. Commercial or residential development and/or roadways bound each parcel
on all four sides. These sites are not known to support native plant or animal species.
6. POPULATION
Adoption of the proposed GPA and ZOA will not alter the location, distribution, density, diversity, or
growth rate of the human population in the area in that the proposed GPA, ZOA and zone changes
solicit amendments to the existing commercial environment. A new Mixed Use District has the potential
to provide for additional residential units, that could help meet the City's demand for housing. Only one
of the parcels proposed for rezoning is undeveloped. A commercial land use designation is suggested
for this parcel. No significant direct or indirect impacts are assorted with the development of the site.

7. SOCIO-ECONOMIC FACTORS
market analysis of the commercial area of poway was conducted in the early stages of the Plan. The
study indicated excessive commercial acreage, the inability of many of the stand alone businesses to
successfully compete in the open market and the lower sales and sales tax return to the City resulting
from these conditions. The Specific Plan addresses these concerns through the implementation of new
architectural and site development styles to make the businesses more attractive to the shopper, by
encouraging similar/compatible uses in the same areas and introducing the Mixed Use District that
could accommodate both residential and commercial uses, thereby absorbing some of the excessive
commercial land. Based on these suggested improvements no significant socii-economic impacts are
anticipated.
8. LAND USE and PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
The poway Road Specific Plan proposes an alteration to the present land uses by reassigning existing
land uses to different locations or districts identified in the Plan. In some locations the land uses will
remain almost the same, others will be assigned new uses. The commercial aspect of poway Road
and the properties within the boundaries of the Plan areas will not be changed.
9. TRANSPORTATION
The proposed specific plan and associated amendments and ordinances propose guidelines for the
economic and visual enhancement of poway Road. The report references and encourages the
reduction in the number of curb cuts, the use of medians and other traffic control measures identified
1 the Final Report of the Transportation Task Force. As such the poway Road Specific Plan will not
have any significant impact on existing streets or vehicular traffic movement. Proposed measures are
designed to improve existing conditions. Three of the four parcels proposed for redesignation are
developed and propose no new impacts. The undeveloped parcel could accommodate a new
commercial business. The limited lot size, however, restricts the size of the facility. As such, the total
number of vehicle trips that could be generated from this facility would not significantly impact the
traffic circulation or volume patters on Garden Road.
10. CULTURAL RESOURCES
No disturbance of any archeological, paleontological, or historic resource is anticipated by the proposed
Specific Plan and associated ordinances and resolutions in that these provide only amendments to the
text of the General Plan and poway Municipal Code. Three of the four parcel considered for
redesignation are presently developed. The General Plan Resources Element indicates a high
probability of potential historic or archeological resources in the area of the undeveloped parcel. A
separate evaluation of the site will take place in association with any development application.
11. HEALTH. SAFETY. and NUISANCE FACTORS
There will be no significant increases in noise, odors, or glare arising from the text changes proposed
by the adoption of the specific plan, GPAs and ZOAs. Additional lighting is proposed for the Town
- Center to enhance safety and encourage evening activities. Redesignation of the four parcels at the
eastern end of the project area will not significantly change development criteria or regulations that
would permit uses that would create potential health, safety or nuisance impacts

12. AESTHETICS
The adoption of the poway Road Specific Plan is designed to enhance the visual aspects of Powa,
Road through the introduction of new architectural standards, streetscape improvements, new
landscaping and street signage. New development or major rehabilitations will require compliance with
the new standards.
13. UTILITIES and PUBLIC SERVICES
The proposed poway Road Specific Plan introduces new architectural, site design and land use
standards. The existing infrastructure in poway Road and surrounding streets is sufficient is size to
accommodate infill development or rehabilitation of existing structures. As such, no new electric, gas
or other utility system of service will be required from the adoption of the proposed ordinances and
resolutions. The land use changes for Three of the four the parcels located outside the Plan area
developed requiring no new utilities. Utility connections must be extended to the undeveloped parcel
should it be developed. Existing systems can accommodate the requirements for the site.
14. ENERGY and SCARCE RESOURCES
Adoption of the resolutions and ordinances associated with the approval of the Poway Road Specific
Plan will not require or impact or create the need for excessive use or consumption of fuel or energy
in that these actions are administrative and deal primarily with a built environment. Separate needs
assessment will be conducted with new development or major rehabilitations.
