A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF POWAY, CALIFORNIA
DENYING TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 82-10
ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NUMBER 321-271-15
WHEREAS, Tentative Parcel Map No. 82-10, hereinafter "Map" submitted
by Poway Mountain Group, applicant, for the purpose of subdividing 41.2
acres of real property situated in the City of Poway, County of San
Diego, State of California, described as the south half of the northwest
quarter of Section 8, T14S, R1W, SBM, lying northerly of the centerline
of R.S. 472 and R.S. 1713 on file in the office of the County Engineer
into two (2) lots, regularly came before the City Council for public
hearing and action on January 8, 1985 ; and
WHEREAS, the Director of Planning Services has recommended APPROVAL
of the Map subject to all conditions set forth in the Planning Services
Department report; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has read and considered said report and
has considered other evidence presented at the public hearing.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Poway does resolve
as follows:
Section 1: Findings:
The City Council makes the following findings in regard to Tentative
Parcel No. 82-10 and the Map thereof:
Se
0
Cm
The tentative parcel is consistent with all applicable
and proposed general and specific plans in effect at the
time the application was filed.
The design or improvement of the tentative parcel is
consistent with all applicable and proposed general and
specific plans in effect at the time the application was
filed.
The site is not physically suitable for the type of
development proposed because access to the property is
not possible unless the north facing slope of the
property is scarred in an unacceptable manner by the
grading of a road which will require the extensive use of
retaining walls, cut slopes up to 40 feet in height, or
combinations of slopes and retaining walls.
Resolution No. P-85-01

d. The site is not physically suitable for the density of the
development proposed, because in order to provide access
to both proposed parcels the north facing slope of the
property must be scarred in an unacceptable manner because
access to the property is not possible unless the north
facing slope of the property is scarred in an unacceptable
manner by the grading of a road which will require the
extensive use of retaining walls, cut slopes up to 40 feet
in height, or combinations of slopes and retaining walls.
e. The design of the subdivision is likely to cause
substantial environmental damage as a result of the
grading for access as described above, but is not likely
to cause avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their
habitat, because the density is very low and most of the
lots will remain as open space.
f. The tentative parcel is not likely to cause serious public
health problems, because City Water and County approved
septic systems will be provided.
g. The design of the tentative parcel will not conflict with
any easement acquired by the public at large, now of
record, for access through or use of the property within
the proposed subdivision.
h. That this project will create adverse impacts on the
environment because the property's north facing slope will
be scarred for a distance of over 1800 by grading for the
access road. This grading would result in the extensive
use of retaining walls, cut slopes up to 40 feet in
height, or a combination of walls and slopes.
i. The effect of subdivision approval on the housing needs of
the San Diego region has been considered and balanced
against the public service needs of Poway residents and
available fiscal and environmental resources.
j. The design of the subdivision has provided, to the extent
feasible, for future passive or natural heating or cooling
opportunities in the subdivision.
Section 2:
Tentative Parcel Map No. 82-10, a copy of which is on file in the
Planning Services office, is hereby denied.
