Section 2:
The Development Plan (Volume 1) and the Development Standards (Volume
2) are hereby adopted collectively as the Development Plan for the
South Poway Planned Community with the inclusion of the following
modifications to the text of these documents:
Volume 1 - Development Plan
The following modifications shall be included in the final version of
the Development Plan:
Land Use
The Rural Residential C designation in Subarea 4 located
northeast and southwest of the extension of Midland Road
shall be limited to a maximum number of 40 lots (including
19 existing lots created by Tentative Map 4278). This
actual number of lots shall be based upon the physical
constraints of soil/geology conditions, slope criteria for
the RR-C zone, and other City criteria for subdivision of
land (page 21).
The Single Family 2 area located in Subarea 5 to the west of
Pomerado Road shall consist of lots located in the vicinity
of the major roadways and should not be visible from
adjacent areas (Figure 8a).
The discussion of the Residential Mobilehome area in Subarea 4
shall include a statement indicating that the City desires that
the area develop as owner-occupied units.
Transportation
Ail street section designs including street widths, medians,
bicycle lanes, sidewalks, and general utility easements
(pages 34-37) shall be designed in accordance with City
standards and requirements to the satisfaction of the City
Engineer and the revised street designs shall be
incorporated graphically into Volume 1.
Public transit facilities including turn-outs, bus bench
enclosures, and trash containers shall be provided where
necessary to the satisfaction of the Directors of Community and
Public Services (page 41).
Resolution No. P 85-44
Page 4
e
The pedestrian system (page 41) shall be modified to include
sidewalks within the general utility easements and a jogging
system within the utility easements or connecting to the
equestrian trails. Sidewalks shall generally be provided
along both sides of prime arterials, major arterials, and
commercial/industrial collectors. This requirement shall be
reviewed with each tentative subdivision map received and
the utility of sidewalk in each area shall be the basis for
a determination by the Directors of Planning and Public
Services as to the requirement for installation.
e
The equestrian trails facilities and system (page 45) shall
be installed as part of the implementation of the
development program for the SPPC by the individual
developers. Additionally, connections to existing off-site
trails shall be made where possible to achieve
equestrian/pedestrian access to and from areas surrounding
South Poway. Also, the location of the west trail in Beeler
Canyon in Subareas 3 and 5 shall be reviewed at the
tentative map stage and a determination shall be made
regarding its exact location in relation to the dedicated
rural road in those areas.
An additional alternative for the termination of Gate Drive
shall be added to the discussion on circulation (page 39).
This additional alternative shall state that a double
cul-de-sac might be utilized so that the residential portion
of Gate Drive has access only to the future Poway Creek
Road.
e
Discussion regarding the possible utilization of a bridge
for the South Poway Arterial as it crosses Pomerado Road to
reduce the grading required to accomodate the arterial, and
discussion of the possible use of a bi-level road for the
Community Road extension into South Poway shall be included
(pages 38-39).
o
The Transportation Element shall also include a discussion
of options for the future of Metate Lane (cul-de-sac at
various locations or remain as a through street).
Public Facilities
The water, sewer, and drainage system improvements shall be
designed to the satisfaction of the Director of Public
Services.
The location of the Montauk reservoir shall be reviewed in
detail to determine if it can be relocated to be less visible.
All reservoirs within South Poway shall be screened with
dense plantings of trees around their perimeters (pages
48-50).
Resolution No. P 85-44

In addition to the need for a 2.0 acre site for a future fire
station, the Safety Services Department may need a temporary
site and facility when development in the South Poway and
surrounding area can no longer be adequately served by Station
No. 1 (page 51).
e
Because many of the buildings in South Poway will be
industrial with large floor and roof areas, it will be
necessary to fight any major fire with large volumes of
water delievered from an overhead source. This requires the
provision of a truck with specialized "squirt" apparatus
whose average cost ranges from $225,000 to $250,000 (page
57).
5o
A section shall be added to the Public Facilities Element
discussing the need for an active recreation area(s) including
softball fields, picnic areas, and a par course to be
privately constructed, operated, and maintained or maintained
as part of a landscape maintenance district. In addition, the
City will consider the use of a facilities fee to provide the
equestrian trails, staging area, and South Poway Arterial
equestrian underpass and the recreational facilities mentioned
above.
Community Design
The mini-park located in Subarea 3 shall be relocated in a
westerly direction to the adjacent north/south trending ridge
(Figure 25).
o
Discuss the recommended inclusion of softball fields, picnic
areas, and a par course as a private recreational facility
(page 89).
3. Discuss the difference of plant types occurring on the north
and south facing slopes of South Poway (pages 90-91).
o
Include within the landscaping plan a method for introducing
some larger native plants (trees and shrubs) on the open
space and rural residential north, west and south slopes, and
include Hollyleaf Cherry (Prunus ilicifolia) as a plant type
in these areas.
e
Include within the landscaping plan a discussion of the
replacement of all mature trees removed on a one-for-one basis
with a minimum of 36-inch box specimens.
0

discussion indicating that open space areas shall be privately
owned but may be included within a landscape maintenance
district.
