SUBJECT: Minor DeveloDllllllt Review 95-35. Joe Herold. ADDl1cant: A request to
construct an 1876 square foot detached garage on a 1.82 acre
residential property located at 13775 Paseo Bonita within the Rural
Residential C (RR-C) lone.
APN: 323-430-19
BACKGROUND
Section 17.02.050 of the Poway Municipal Code allows in situations where clarity
is required to determine the appropriate classification or standard for a given
use, the Planning Director shall forward the facts and findings of said use to
the City Council for review and interpretation.
FINDINGS
The applicant is requesting approval to construct an 1876 square foot detached
garage on a 1.82 acre property located at 13775 Paseo Bonita in the Los Lomas
residential development. The site is currently developed with a 3400 square foot
single-story home which includes an attached 3-car garage (approximately 776
square feet). According to the applicant, the proposed garage would be used to
park vehicles and for other personal usage (See Attachment E).
While the proposed 1876 square foot garage complies with the Poway Zoning
Ordinance and the Codes, Covenants and Restrictions for the Los Lomas
development, it isn't totally consistent with the Poway General Plan in that it
is out of character and scale with the three and four car garage homes that are
prevalent in the neighborhood.

Letters of opposition have been received from two separate adjacent property
owners (See Attachments F and G). The reason cited for oppos i t i on was the
potential use of the large garage as a home-based business or possible conversion
to an accessory 1 i vi ng uni t. Staff contacted and spoke with the opposing
property owners. These owners advised that a condition of approval for the
project requiring that the garage be deed restricted as to how it was used would
not provide adequate assurance for them to be comfortable with approval of the
proposal.
The following project findings have been made by staff:
1. The proposed project is somewhat consistent with the General Plan in that
the garage will be screened from general viewing and will not detract from
the desired character or appearance of the surrounding area. However, the
garage as a type of use is out of character with the surrounding area in
that 14 of the 19 residential lots in Los Lomas that are developed with
residences have three and four car garages, compared to the total 2652
square foot garage space that is proposed on the subject lot.
2. The proposed development wi 11 not have an adverse aesthetic, health,
safety or architecturally related impact upon adjoining properties, in
that the proposed garage has been designed to complement and follow the
architectural lines of the residence and it will be sited close to the
house and oriented so that the length of the garage is perpendicular to
Paseo Bonita, therefore less visible from the street.
3. The proposed development is in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance, in
that it compl ies with the property development standards of the Rural
Residential Clone.
4. The proposed development encourages the orderly and harmonious appearance
of structure and property within the City, in that the surrounding
properties consists of large rural residential lots with well spaced
homesites.
In that the proposed 1876 square foot garage is considerably larger than other
residential garages in the neighborhood, it is requested that the City Council
make a detel"lllination as to whether the project is consistent with Pol icy F,
Strategy 22 of the Community Development Element of the Poway General Plan which
states that accessory uses and buildings should be screened from general viewing
and should not detract from the desired character of the surrounding area.
ENYIRON.IIENTAL REVIEW
The project is not subject to the CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.

Dear City honorable Don Higginson Council Members
13325 Ci~ic Center Drive
Poway, Ca 92064-0120
Reference : Minor Development Review #95-35
I am requesting your permission to build an eight car~garage
on my property at 13775 Paseo Bonita. This garage was
professionally designed and conforms with the architectural
style of the residence. Additionally, the garage will be
situated in a low area near the house that is surrounded by
trees and not highly visible to the street.
I intend to use this garage solely to park vehicles and
for other personal usage. I feel that it will be more beneficial
both to myself and to the neighborhood if I am able to park
my vehicles, personal watercraft and boat in an enclosed area as
opposed to having them clutter up my driveway. I can assure you
that this structure will not be used as a business or converted
into a rental unit. Since I have the half acre just below my
house and am going to use it for personal use only, and a house
two parcels away has a hugh barn that you approved, I see no good
reason for not accepting my request.
Thank you for your time and consideration of this project.
If you have any additional questions, I will be happy to provide
answers.
~~

Dear Ms. Rosas,
After talking with you last week my husband and I have discuscoct the
Kinor D.v.loD.ellt aevie". KDRA. Jo. Xerold. owner:: Our op!,osition
stems from the potential conversion of such a structure into a
~usiness or rental family unit. We have never seen Mr. Herold with an
RV of any size, a boat. or any cars parked there except th< ones he
and his visitors drive. One of the neighbor'S said that thiu wa~ to
be a hobby shop.
Mr. Herold is an automobile dealer. The exist.nce of ~n R Cdr
garage immediately raises the specter of possible dealership usage of
the structure for storage, perhaps maintenance or other business
purposes in a strictly residential neighborhood. IIr. HeLo'j is also a
participant in a contractor - carpentry business. which could bpn~fit
from just such a structure. It is larger than most of the houses in
rhe Fairgate community just below ours. Finally, such a building of
~.a76 square feet. could someday magically become a second residence
or rental unit. especially with a shower and bathroom alre'~~ planned
in the structure. Similar cases of businesses andlrental units have
happened in Poway.
'While Mr. Herold's motives might be pure and all the aLoVe mere
paranoia. the opportunity would be there tor such exploitation in the
future by whomever ..as the property owner. We therefore urge the City
to deny this application.
Sincerely,
~:: .::on=,n41t

Re: APN: 323-430-19
Dear Ms. Rosas:
This letter is in response to II notice I received about Joe Herold's proposal to construct an
1,876 square foot eight car detached garage on his residential property at 13775 Paseo Bonita.
I'm concerned that this is going to be used for something other than parking eight cars or a
home workshop. I live right next door to Joe at 12620 Gate Drive. I moved to Los Lomas for
peace and quiet. I'm worried that this 'garage' is going to house some sort of business. If the
structure is built it will be much more difficult to control or abolish the business than ifit's not
constructed at all. Los Lomas is a neighborhood not a business area.
I sincerely hope that the structure will be turned down on the grounds that it does not
belong in a residential neighborhood unless, of course, Joe has eight cars that he plans to park in
the garage.
Thank you.
