WHEREAS, Development Review 95-13 and Variance 95-08, was subm tted by
Watkins Terminals, applicant, for approval of the construction of a 13,10 square
foot facility with a 40 door truck terminal and office along with a var ance to
allow light standards of 35 feet in height on a six acre site locate on the
northeast corner of Tech Center Drive and Kirkham Way within the Light Industrial
land use designation of the South Poway Specific Plan; and
WHEREAS, on September 26, 1995 the City Council held a hearing on the
above-referenced item.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council does hereby resolve as follows:
The previously certified Final E 1 Impact Report (EIb) for the
South Poway Specific Plan adequately addresses the potential 1
impacts of the proposed development.
The approved project is consistent with the South Poway Specific
Plan and the general plan in that a truck terminal is a permitted
land use within the Light Industrial land use designation.
That the a proved project will not have an ad erse aes hetic,
health, sar ty, or architecturally elated impac upon ad oining
ro erties n that the design of e building or the i. tended
ur ose con orms to the criteria o the South oway Deve opment
ta.dards and will be compatible wit current an future bu ldings
n he vicinity.
That the proposed development encourages the orderly and h
appearance of structures and property within the City in that the
architecture incorporates features provided for in the South Poway
Development Standards.
he approved project is consistent with the South Poway Speci ic
lan and the general plan in that it pro oses the o a
uilding and light standards within a ite that is designate or
ight industrial use. The allowance of igh pressure sodium 1 g ts
or the terminal yard area is consisten with Goal 1, Policy and
trategy 2 of the Poway General Plan in that these lights wil not
adversely affect the rural character of the community due to the
Resolution Ho. P-95-54

truck terminal being located within the business park and due to the
design of the lights to be shielded, directed downward and have zero
cutoff.
That there are special circumstances applicable to the property, or
the intended use of the p operty, and because of this, the strict
application of the South oway Development Standards deprives the
property of privileges en oyed by other properties in the vicinity
under identical land use esignations.
The special circumstances are that uniform lighting is essential for
the safe operation of vehicular activities. The lighting source
needs to be higher than ordinance requirements of 25 feet to achieve
uniform lighting over the wide expanses of the site during night and
early morning hours of this 24 hour per day truck terminal.
That granting the variance or its modification is necessary for the
preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed
by other property in the same vicinity and land use designation for
which the variance is sought, in that complete and safe use of the
property requires higher light fixtures.
Th t granting the v riance or its modification will not be
ma erially detrimental o the public health, safety, or welfare, or
in urious to the proper y or improvements in such vicinity and land
us designation in whic the propert~ is located. Granting of the
variance will create a safer t with less chance of
injuries to property.
That the granting of this variance do s not constitute a pecial
privilege inconsistent with the limitat on upon other proper ies in
the vicinity and land use designation n that the property s
located within the business park wi h numerous night 1 ghting
sources, including the Sports Park and parking lot lig s of
existing b
That the granting of this variance does not allow the use or
a tivity which is not otherwise expressly authorized by spec fic
p an development standards governing the parcel or property in hat
t e approved project is the installation of 35 foot high 1 ght
s andards for a light industrial use in the South Poway Spec fic
