ORDINANCE NO. 574/FIRST READING
SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT 84-01 Ill
APPLICANT: CITY OF POWAY
Mayor Cafagna opened the public hearing. Introduction by City Manager Bowersox.
Staff report by Development Services Director Fritz:. This is a City-initiated request to
change the existing land use designation of a 26.49-acre portion of the vacant, 31.49-
acre property located at the southeast corner of Scripps Poway Parkway and Tech
Center Drive from Light Industrial (LI) to South Poway Commercial (SPC). A 5-acre
portion of the site immediately at the street intersection is already designated SPC.
APN: 317-280-67.
The following people were present wishing to speak:
Ed Malone, 17150 Old Coach Road, representing the Town & Country Center, inquired
as to why the Negative Declaration did not address economics and suggested the
Council/staff do an economic analysis and meet with all existing merchants in the City.
Kitty Miller, 12528 Arabian Way, Chairwoman Elect representing the Poway Chamber of
Commerce spoke in support of the requested change in land use designation.
Redevelopment Agency Director Johnson responded to questions of the Council.

reading and continue the public hearing to March 4, 2003 for second reading and
adoption of Ordinance. Staff to ensure adequate parking for the site in excess of City
Ordinance requirements if necessary. Motion carried 4-0 with Councilmember
Higginson absent.
ITEM 2 (203-13)
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT 03-02
STONE HOUSES - BRIDLEWOOD
APPLICANT: CITY OF POWAY
Mayor Cafagna opened the public hearing. Staff report by City Manager Bowersox.
There are a number of vacant stone buildings within the Bridlewood Americana Open
Space Area that have been vandalized and have become a meeting place for vagrants.
Homeowners living near the site have petitioned the Public Works Department
requesting that the structures be torn down in order to abate the neighborhood
nuisance. An archeological/historical consultant has determined the structures to be
representative of the post-war ranching era in Poway and has assigned them to
Category B of the City's Resource Protection Ordinance. Staff has determined that the
7750
Page 4 - CITY OF POWAY - February 18, 2003
cost outweighs the benefit to be derived by restoring and securing the structures, and
recommends their removal. The Poway Municipal Code requires the issuance of a
demolition permit for a Category B Historic/Cultural Resource or any historic landmark.
The following people were present wishing to speak:
Carol Defenbaugh, 16082 Summer Sage Road, petitioner, requested the City remove
the chain link fences and barbed wire toppers, remove the roofs and several feet of the
rock walls, and install a locking gate just north of the Gerard property on the existing
easement.
Nancy and Ray Wilson, 16070 Summer Sage Road, petitioners, expressed the same
views as Ms. Defenbaugh.
Dale Davis, 16505 Wilderness Road, spoke in opposition to the removal of the
buildings.
Walt Kubis, 16227 Oak Creek Trail, spoke in opposition to the removal of the buildings.
JoAnne Gleason, 16218, Summer Sage Road, owner of the old ranch house, requested
the buildings be removed and the stones placed on her property, Lot 25.
Motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Deputy Mayor Rexford, to close the
public hearing, approve the Negative Declaration and direct staff to bring back a report
in 6-8 weeks with information and estimated costs to place the property in an arrested
state of decay (possible restoration, relocation, partial demolition and potential ongoing
maintenance as well as the installation of additional oak trees in the area). Staff to
remove the roofs and anything appearing to be dangerous in the meantime. Motion
carried 4-0 with Councilmember Higginson absent. Motion by Councilmember Goldby
to remove the fencing from around the structures. Motion died for lack of a second.
ITEM 2 (203-08)

APPLICANT: ClNGULAR WIRELESS

telecommunications facility consisting of 12-panel antennas mounted to the sides of an
existing building (the Poway Dental Group Building), and ground mounted equipment on
property located at 13422 Pomerado Road #103. APN: 317-021-10.

CITY MANAGER ITEMS
11. City Manager Bowersox provided Council with a brief update on the State
Budget. (1502-23)
He also advised that an agreement had been reached with McMillin, the Rancho
Encantada developer that could be supported by the City. McMiliin has proposed
to do three things: 1) not construct detention basin 2 of 3 using Creek
Road/Beeler Canyon Road as the access point; 2) only use Creek Road and
Beeler Canyon Road for those improvements/construction projects related to that
vicinity such as undergrounding utilities and the sewer line; and 3) install a sign
at Creek Road and Pomerado Road to advise their contractors and construction
workers not to use those access roads, but to go to the top of the hill which was
done by General Dynamics when they were active on the site.
City Manager Bowersox then congratulated Redevelopment Services Director
Johnson on the arrival of her newest grandson, Quincy, and announced that
Economic Development Manager Ingrid Alverde was expecting a new bundle of
joy in August.
