Terminals, Inc., Applicant: A request to construct a 13,100
square foot facility with a 40 door truck terminal and office
along with a variance to allow light standards of 35 feet in
height on a six acre site located on the northeast corner of
Tech Center Drive and Kirkham Way within the Light Industrial
land use designation of the South Poway Specific Plan.

APN: 317-280-62 portion
BACKGROUND
This application is for the construction of a 13,100 square foot facility for a
40 door truck terminal and office along with a variance to allow light standards
of 35 feet in height. The proposed six acre site is located at the N.E. corner
of Tech Center Drive and Kirkham Way within the Light Industrial 1 and use
designation of the South Poway Specific Plan. The truck terminal portion of the
building will be 10,050 square feet in size and the office will be 3,050 square
feet. Watkins Trucking plans to relocate from Carroll Road in San Diego to this
new location. Headquarters of Watkins Terminals, Inc. is in Lakeland, Florida.
The building color of the office and terminal and the materials for the office
shall be compatible with other buildings within the business park and be approved
by the Director of Planning Services. The office building wall surfaces will be
constructed of a stucco-like material or other suitable material compatible with
the South Poway Oevelopment Standards. Screening walls will be chosen in a
material of compatible color to the office building. The roofi ng wi 11 be

standing seam metal or similar material in a white color with blue and red accent
stripes, The hollow metal doors and roll up doors will also be in white.
Chain link fencing is proposed for the south, east and north property frontages.
Vinyl-coated chain link fencing of seven feet in height topped with one foot of
barbed wire fencing is allowable with landscaping in the street side yard area
along the south property line.
The development standards call for a maximum height of 25 feet for 1 ight
standards. Watkins Terminals desires 35 foot high light standards in the yard
area due to the 24 hour per day operating schedule and the need for a safe, well-
1 ighted working environment. The special circumstances are that uniform 1 ighting
is essential for the safe operation of vehicular activities. The lighting source
needs to be higher than ordinance requirements of 25 feet to achieve uniform
1 ighting over the wide expanses of the site during night and early morning hours
of this 24 hour per day truck terminal.
The allowance of high pressure sodium 1 ights for the terminal yard area is
consistent with Goal 1, Policy I and Strategy 2 of the Poway General Plan that
states "lighting should provide for public convenience and safety but not
confl ict with the rural nature of the cOlIIDunity." Strategy 2 states that "publ ic
and semi-publ ic parking lots and driveways should be adequately 1 ighted for
public safety. Except for Single-family homes, only low pressure sodium lighting
shall be used for exterior lighting between 11:00 p.m. and dawn." The use of
high pressure sodium lights will not adversely affect the rural character of the
community due to the truck terminal being located within the business park and
due to the design of the lights to be shielded, directed downward and have zero
cutoff.
Staff has met with the applicants and their representatives over the past several
months to discuss details of their proposal in order to expedite construction of
the facility by March 31, 1996. They have submitted the building and grading
plans for checking and began bulk grading on September 5, 1995 to meet a five
month construction schedule.
A related action is the creation of the six acre site from a 32.5 acre parcel.
The tentative map is scheduled with the City Council for October 3, 1995. The
site plan allows for a future 20 dock extension that would be addressed through
a modification of thi s development review. Further project description
information is contained in Attachment C.
FINDINGS
The proposed truck terminal is a permitted use within the South Poway Specific
Plan. The overheight light standards are justified because of the 24 hour per
day operating schedule and the need for a safe, well-lighted working environment.
Approval of the development review and variance is recommended with the findings
and conditions of the attached resolution.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF POWAY, CALIFORNIA
APPROVING DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 95-13
AND VARIANCE 95-08
ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NUMBER
317-280-62 portion
WHEREAS, Development Review 95-13 and Variance 95-08, was submitted by
Watkins Terminals, applicant, for approval of the construction of a 13,100 square
foot facility with a 40 door truck terminal and office along with a variance to
allow light standards of 35 feet in height on a six acre site located on the
northeast corner of Tech Center Drive and Kirkham Way within the Light Industrial
land use designation of the South Poway Specific Plan; and
WHEREAS, on September 26, 1995 the City Council held a hearing on the
above-referenced item.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council does hereby resolve as foliows:
Section 1: Environmental Findinos:
The previously certified Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the
South Poway Specific Plan adequately addresses the potential environmental
impacts of the proposed development.
Section 2: DeveloDment Review Findinos:
1. The approved project is consistent with the South Poway Specific
Plan and the general plan in that a truck terminal is a permitted
land use within the Light Industrial land use designation.
2. That the approved project wi 11 not have an adverse aesthet i c,
health, safety, or architecturally related impact upon adjoining
properties in that the design of the building for the intended
purpose conforms to the criteria of the South Poway Development
Standards and will be compatible with current and future buildings
in the vicinity.
3. That the proposed development encourages the orderly and harmonious
appearance of structures and property within the City in that the
architecture incorporates features provided for in the South Poway
Development Standards.
Section 3: Variance Findinos
1. The approved project is cons istent wi th the South Poway Spec i fi c
Plan and the general plan in that it proposes the construction of a
building and light standards within a site that is designated for
light industrial use. The allowance of high pressure sodium lights
for the terminal yard area is consistent with Goal 1, Policy I and
Strategy 2 of the Poway General Plan in that these lights will not
adversely affect the rural character of the community due to the
5 of 20 ATTACHMENT A SEP 2 6 1995 ITEM 5
Resolution No. P-
Page 2
truck terminal being located within the business park and due to the
design of the lights to be shielded, directed downward and have zero
cutoff.
2. That there are special circumstances applicable to the property, or
the intended use of the property, and because of this, the strict
application of the South Poway Development Standards deprives the
property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity
under identical land use designations.
The special circumstances are that uniform lighting is essential for
the safe operation of vehicul ar activities. The 1 ight ing source
needs to be higher than ordinance requirements of 25 feet to achieve
uniform lighting over the wide expanses of the site during night and
early morning hours of this 24 hour per day truck terminal.
3. That granting the variance or its modification is necessary for the
preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed
by other property in the same vicinity and land use designation for
which the variance is sought, in that complete and safe use of the
property requires higher light fixtures.
4. That granting the variance or its modification will not be
materially detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or
injurious to the property or improvements in such Vicinity and land
use designation in which the property is located. Granting of the
variance will create a safer environment with less chance of
injuries to property.
5. That the granting of this variance does not constitute a special
privilege inconsistent with the limitation upon other properties in
the vicinity and land use designation in that the property is
located within the bus i ness park wi th numerous night lighting
sources, including the Sports Park and parking lot lights of
existing businesses.
6. That the granting of this variance does not all ow the use or
activity which is not otherwise expressly authorized by speCific
plan development standards governing the parcel or property in that
the approved project is the installation of 35 foot high light
standards for a light industrial use in the South Poway Specific
Plan.
Section 4: Citv Council Decision:
The City Council hereby approves Development Review 95-13 and Variance 95-
08 subject to the following conditions:
1. Within 30 days of approval (1) the applicant shall submit in writing

FURTHER PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The land east of Tech Center Drive is vacant, cleared and ungraded
at this ~ime. Tech Business Center intends to grade the Watkins
site during the processing of the Development Review and associated
parcel map.
The property to the west of Tech Center Drive consists of the
vacant, unimproved industrial lots of Poway Tech Center, also owned
by Tech Business Center.
The underground and surface improvements on Tech Center Drive are
complete. Watkins intends to take all access and sewer and water
service from Tech Center Drive. Storm drainage will be conducted
to outfall at the east of the site into a retention basin to be
built by Tech Business Center during its grading of the site in
accordance with previously approved Tech Business Center bulk
grading plans and site grading plan being prepared by Tech for City
approval.
Tech Business Center proposes to defer the construction of Kirkham
Way easterly from Tech Center Drive until further pevelopment to
the east takes place. The right-of-way will be graded, however,
and approximately 350 feet of the sanitary sewer trunk main will be
installed in the fill area.

CITY OF POW A Y
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: James l. Bowersox, City Manager
."
INITIATED BY: John D. Fitch, Assistant City Manage~1t
Reba Wright-Quastler, Director of Pla ning Services~
Stephen A. Streeter, Principal Planner ~
DATE: September 26, 1995
SUBJECT: Development Review 95-13 and Variance 95-08, Watkins Terminals,
Inc., Applicant: A request to construct a 13,100 square foot
fac i1 i ty wi th a 40 door truck termi na 1 and offi ce along wi th a
variance to allow light standards of 35 feet in height on a six acre
site located on the northeast corner of Tech Center Drive and
Kirkham Way within the Light Industrial land use designation of the
South Poway Specific Plan, APN: 317-280-62 portion
The applicant is concerned about condition 9 on page 3 of the resolution regarding
future expansion and desires some assurance that they will be able to build the
expansion, as shown on the original and revised site plans, without any further City
Council action. The expansion would have been a staff report level of City Council
review and approval rather than a publiC hearing. The current action is a public
hearing only because of the variance to light standard height for the truck terminal
yard.
Since staff was unaware of details on how the building would be expanded though the
architectural site plan showed a twenty door future expansion as phase II, the
condition was proposed as written. The expansion would be of the same metal
construction as used for the forty door truck terminal. The applicant has asked for
metal construction in the dock area (though normally not allowed) for functional
reasons while the front office area will be of concrete or other construction in
conformance with business park development standards. Metal "is a better material for
long-term building safety with trucks occasionally bumping the building thus requiring
periodic replacement of metal panels. Traditional tilt-up concrete construction could
not be repaired as easily.
Staff has reviewed their request and agrees with the recommendation to approve the
twenty door expansion of the truck terminal at this time, Revised wording for the
condition is as attached.
