SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT 84-01AA
PROHIBITING OUTDOOR AMPHITHEATERS
- Council member Callery announced she has a potent i a 1 confl i ct of interest and 1 eft
the meeting.
Mayor Higginson opened the publ ic hearing. Staff report by City Manager
Bowersox. As the City Council knows, Bill Silva has withdrawn his applications
for an amphitheater in South Poway, however, staff is recommending an amendment
to the South Poway Specific Plan that would prohibit outdoor amphitheaters. This
recommendation comes as a result of staff's research in connection with the Bill
Silva Presents application. Some Councilmembers visited other amphitheaters in
Cal ifornia; members of the public submitted information; and consultants
conducted studies which showed there would be sound problems. In addition, other
property owners in the South Poway Business Park expressed concerns about the
impact of an amphitheater on the marketabil ity of the business park. As a
result, staff is recommending that the South Poway Specific Plan be amended to
prohibit outdoor amphitheaters.
Speaking in opposition to staff recommendation:
Teresa Clark, President of the Poway Chamber of Commerce, stated projects
should be considered on their merits and not be prohibited up front.
Fred Day, Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce, stated the City
Council should not change the master plan of the business park.

In response to query from Mayor Higginson, City Manager Bowersox stated that if
the Bill Silva Presents application had been completed and brought to the City
Council, he would have recommended denial.
Councilmember Emery stated that, like a lot of people, when he first heard about
the amphitheater he was intrigued, but it was the research that was done that
showed it probably wouldn't be a good thing for the community. He rebutted a
statement made by one of the speakers that Poway is having an identity crisis and
stated that Poway's identity is very clear and has been since incorporation.
Councilmember Rexford stated she had done her homework regarding amphitheaters
by visiting the ones in Mountain View and Costa Mesa and learned the problems
they had that could not be eliminated. She cited the need for a healing in the
community.
Councilmember Cafagna stated he spends 20-30 hours a week on City business and
a good deal of that time is spent selling the community and meeting with people
who want to propose a project in the City. He stated he had first met Bill Silva
in September, 1994 when he met with his consultants and staff to discuss his
proposal and the process that needed to be followed. This same type of meeting
is held with many developers and they are all told the same thing, "You have to
get certain things approved and here are the risks." The proper process was
followed in bringing this forward. He poi nted out that the "City in the Country"
does not apply when you go up the hill into the Business Park. That is big
business and its viability is important to the economic health of the City.
Mot i on by Counc il member Emery, seconded by Council member Rexford to issue a
Negative Declaration and adopt Resolution No. 95-103, entitled, "A Resolution of
the City Council of the City of Poway, California Approving South Poway Specific
Pl an Amendment (SPA 84-01AA)." Motion carried 4-0 with Councilmember Callery
abstaining.
ITEM 5 (402-05)

Bowersox. The fees charged by the Engineering Services Department for

not disclosure that this was being done. He asked the City Council for some
help. City Manager Bowersox stated that another meeting with the residents will
