The
City's

update
contains
the
following
components
:
• A
profile
and
analysis
of
the
City's
demographics,
housing
characteristics,

of
the
constraints
to
housing
production
and
preservation.

Constraints
include
potential
market,
governmental,
policy,
and
environmental
limitations
to
meeting
the
City's
identified
housing
needs
(Chapter
3,
Constraints)
.
•
An

of
resources
available
to
meet
the
City's

and
its
ability
to

and
the
site's
ability
to
further
fair

the
City's
identified
housing

including
housing
goals,
policies,
and
programs
(Chapter

.

Regional
Housing
Needs
Allocation
(RHNA)
The
Regional
Housing
Needs
Allocation
(RHNA)
is
mandated
by
State
law
as
part
of
the
periodic
process
of
updating
the
local
housing
element
of
the
General
Plan.

The
RHNA
process
begins
with
the
regional determination
figure
(the
total
number
of
housing
units
needed
to
meet
housing
needs
in
the
SANDAG
region)
issued
by
HCD,
followed
by
an
allocation
to
each
jurisdiction
within
the
region
(specific
number
of
units
allocated
to
each
jurisdiction).

For
the
2020
to
2029
Housing
Element,
the
regional
determination
was
based
solely
on
projected
housing
need
during
an
over
eight-year
planning
period
.

Recent
changes
to
State
law
added
a
requirement
that
existing
housing
needs
must
be
incorporated
in
the
regional
determination
by
housing
need
indicators
such
as
vacancy
rates,
job/housing
balance,
cost
burden,
and
overcrowding.

SANDAG
is
mandated to
allocate
the
regional
housing
need
set
by
HCD
to
jurisdictions
in
the
region.

In
allocating
the
region's
future
housing
needs
to
jurisdictions,
SANDAG
is
required
to
take
the
following
factors
into
consideration
pursuant
to
Section
65584
of
the
State
Government
Code:
•
Market
demand
for
housing;
•
Employment opportunities;
•
Availability

facilities;
•
Commuting
patterns;
•
Types
of
tenure
housing;
•
Loss
of
units
in
assisted
housing
developments;
•
Over-concentration
of
lower
income
households;

56 Since
the
5th
cycle
Housing
Element
was
adopted
in
2013,
the
State
Legislature
has
adopted
several
bills
which
strengthen
requirements
related
to
the
Residential
Sites
Inventory.

Among
these,
the
most
significant
are
AB
1397
(2017)
and
SB
166
(2017),
which
imposed
several
key
new
requirements.

These
new
requirements
are
summarized
as
follows:

Enhanced
Requirements:

Realistic
Development
Potential
(AB
1397)
Assembly
Bill
1397
requires
that,
for
each
site
included
in
the
Residential
Sites
Inventory,
the
City
identify
the
realistic
development
potential
for
the
site
within
the
eight-year
planning
period.

For
non-
vacant
sites,
the
methodology
used
to
identify
realistic
development
potential
must
consider
factors
such
as
existing
uses,
past
development
trends,
market
conditions,
and
the
availability
of
regulatory
and/or
other
development
incentives.

No
Net
Loss
(SB
166)
Senate
Bill
166
amended
the
existing
No
Net
Loss
Law
to
require
sufficient
adequate
sites
to
be
available
at
all
times
throughout
the
housing
element
planning
period
to
meet
a jurisdiction's
remaining
unmet
RHNA
goals
for
each
income
category
; To
comply
with
the
No
Net
Loss
Law,
as
jurisdictions
make
decisions
regarding
zoning
and
land
use,
or
development
occurs,
jurisdictions
must
assess
their
ability
to
accommodate
new
housing
in
each
income
category
on
the
remaining
sites
in
their
housing
element
site
inventories.

A
jurisdiction
must add
additional
sites
to
its
inventory
if
land
use
decisions
or
development results
in
a shortfall
of
sufficient
sites
to
accommodate
its
remaining
housing
need
for
each
income
category
.

In
particular,
a
jurisdiction
may
be
required
to
identify
additional
sites
according
to
the
No
Net
Loss
Law
if
a
jurisdiction
rezones
a
site
or
if the
jurisdiction
approves a
project
at
a
different
income
level
or
lower
density
than shown
in
the
Residential
Sites
Inventory.

Lower
density
means
fewer
units
than
the
capacity
assumed
in
the
site
inventory
.

To
ensure
that
sufficient
capacity
exists
in
the
housing
element
to
accommodate
the
RHNA
throughout
the
planning
period,
HCD
recommends
that
jurisdiction
create
a
buffer
in
the
housing
element
inventory
of
more
capacity
than
required,
especially
for
capacity
to
accommodate
the
lower
income
RHNA
.

Jurisdictions
can
also
create
a
buffer
by
projecting
site
capacity
at
less
than
the
maximum
density
to
allow
for
some
reductions
in
density
at
a
project
level.

The
2020-
2029
Housing
Element
identifies
a
140
unit
buffer
above
the
RHNA
with
credits
from
Table
4-4
and
sites
from
Table
4-5
(1,459
total
housing
units
provided
to
meet
RHNA,
excluding
additional
sites
identified
in
Table
A-1).

Rezoning
for
Re-Use
of
Sites
to
Accommodate
Lower
Income
RHNA
(20
percent
inclusionary,
By-right) Sites
identified
to
accommodate
the
lower-income
RHNA
are
subject
to
additional
requirements
if they
were
identified
in
a
previous
planning
period.

Generally,
these
requirements
would
apply
to
the
use
of
a
non-vacant
site
that
was
identified
in
the
prior
planning
period's
housing
element
(i.e.,
5th
cycle
Housing
Element),
or
to
the
use
of
a vacant
site
that
was
identified
in
two
or
more
consecutive
planning
periods
(i.e.,
5th
and
4th
cycle
Housing
Elements).

When
sites
meeting
these
conditions
are
used
to
accommodate
the
lower-income
RHNA,
the
jurisdiction's
housing
element
must
include
a
program
to
be
completed
within
three
years
of
the
beginning
of
the
planning
period
to
allow
residential
use
by-right
at
specified
densities
for
housing
developments
in
which
at
least
20 percent
of
the
units
are
affordable
to
lower
income
households

Less

The
2020-2029
Housing
Element
identifies
an
assigned
growth
need
of
1,319
housing
units
for
development
from
June
30,
2020
through
April
29,
2029.

Of
that
total,
519
housing
units
were
under
construction
or
entitled
as
of
December
2020,
leaving
a
remaining
need
of
800
housing
units.

Approximately
53 percent
of
the
City's
land
area
is
within
the
Mitigation
Area
of
the
Poway
Subarea
Habitat
Conservation
Plan
(HCP).

The
Poway
Subarea
lies
in
an
area
of
overlap
between
two
sub-regional
NCCP
plan
areas
in
the
San
Diego
region:
the
MSCP
and
the
MHCP.

The
northern
edge
of
the
Poway Subarea
also
overlaps
the
Focused
Planning
Area
of
the
San
Dieguito
River
Valley
Park.

The
sites
identified
as
appropriate
for
low-
and
moderate
income
housing
are
not
located
within
the
Mitigation
Area
of
the
HCP.

However,
it
is
expected
that
above
moderate-income
housing
may
be
constructed within
the
rural
residential
areas
of
the
City
that
coincide
with
the
boundaries
of
the
HCP
Mitigation
Area.

Without
a
specific
project,
it is
not
possible
to
anticipate
how
the
development
of
these
new
housing
units
will
potentially
impact
sensitive
biological resources
including
riparian
habitats,
federally
protected
wetlands
or
other
sensitive
natural
communities,
however,
no
conflict
with
the
provisions
of
the
HCP
is
proposed
or
anticipated
and
compliance
will
be
required.

The
HCP
requires
limitations
on
the
amount
of
biological
impact
on
each
property
and
a
Biological
Conservation
Easement
(BCE)
will
be
required
as
properties
develop.

It
is
also
not
possible
to
anticipate
how
the
development
of
new
housing
will
specifically
affect
the
movement
of
native
resident
or
migratory
fish
or
wildlife
species,
adversely
affect
wildlife
corridors
or
impeded
the
use
of
native
wildlife
nursery
sites.

The
City
does
have
a
tree
protection
ordinance
(Poway
Municipal
Code
Chapter

12.32)
and
a
tree
inventory
on
a
specific
property
will
be
required
to
evaluate
the
need
to
mitigate
any
tree
removals
as
specified
by
City
codes.

To
ensure
significant
impacts
to
sensitive
biological
resources
do
not
occur,
future
development
of
residential
units
will
be
in
accordance
with
applicable
City
standards
and
guidelines,
the
HCP,
the
State
and
Federal
Endangered
Species
Act,
as
well
as
requirements
mandated
during
the
environmental
review
of
individual
projects
for
sites
identified
for
above
moderate-income
housing.

Adherence
to
such
requirements
will
reduce
potential
impacts
associated
with
biological
resources
to
less
than
a
significant
level.

According
to
the
U.S.

Environmental

Agency,
the
burning
of
fossil

, along
with

to
increase
significantly
in

. The
increase
in
GHGs
results
in
global
warm

as
more

trapped
in
the
atmosphere
.

The
2020-2029

The
2020-2029
Housing
Element
identifies
adequate
sites
in
areas
already
designated
for
residential
and
mixed-use
use
to
meet
the
City's
RHNA.

The
project
will
not
result
in
the
approval
of
any
physical
improvements
and
does
not
propose
any
changes
to
the
General
Plan
Community
Development
Element,
to
a
base
designation,
or
to
any
physical
development
standards
.

Though
it
proposes
neither
specific
development
projects
nor
changes
in
base
zoning,
the
Housing
Element
Update
identifies
opportunity
sites
that
are
feasible
for
development.

The
2020-2029
Housing
Element
could
indirectly
result
in
residential
development
and

the
development
would
occur
in
residential

During

that
ensures
compliance
with
all

Adherence
to

will
be
applied
at

The
City
is
not
located

The

would
adhere
to

remaining
need
of
800
housing
units.

The
project
does
not
substantially
impair
an
adopted
emergency
response
plan
or
emergency
evacuation
plan.

The
project
does
not
exacerbate
wildfire
risks,
nor
expose
project
occupants
to
pollutant
concentrations
from
a
wildfire
or
the
uncontrolled
spread
of
a wildfire
.

The
project
does
not
require
the
installation
or
maintenance
of
associated
infrastructure
(such
as
roads,
fuel
breaks,
emergency
water
sources,
power
lines
or
other utilities)
that
may
exacerbate
fire
risk
or
that
may
result
in
temporary
or
ongoing
impacts
to
the
environment.

The
project
does
not
expose
people
or
structures
to
significant
risks,
including
downslope
or
downstream
flooding
or
landslides,
as
a result
of
runoff,
post-fire
slope
instability,
or
drainage
changes
.

New
projects
that
propose
housing
for
very
low-
and
low
income
households
can
be
developed
by-right,
however,
will
have
to
comply
with
General
Plan
policies
and
PMC
requirements
to
address
any
potential
wildfire
risks.

Adherence
to
applicable
city
policies
and
regulations
would
be
required
at
that
time
and
would
reduce
the
potential
impacts
to
below
a
level
of
significance
.

No
mitigation
is
required

Hector Salgado, Senior Planner l' -~
858-668-4656 or [email protected]

CITY COUNCIL
Specific Plan (SP) 22-0001, Environmental assessment (EA) 23-0001, General Plan Amendment (GPA) 22-0001, Zone Change (ZC) 22-0001, Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) 24-0001, Tentative Tract Map (TTM) 22-0001 and Development Review (DR) 23-0003; a request to adopt a specific plan, subdivide 11.5 acres of land and construct 63 new single-family residences, preserve one locally designated historic home and certify the associated Environmental Impact Report (EIR) The applicant is requesting to subdivide 11.5 acres of land, to construct 63 homes, preserve one locally designated historic home and adopt a new specific plan governing the regulatory framework of the new subdivision located at 12623, 12624, 12650, 12702 Oak Knoll Road and six additional vacant parcels in the Residential Single Family 7 (RS-7) zone.

Recommended Action:

It is recommended the City Council take public input, close the public hearing, adopt the Resolutions (Attachments A-C) and introduce the Ordinances (Attachments D&E) for first reading by title only, waive further reading, and schedule the adoption for April 16, 2024.

Discussion:

The applicant is Lennar Homes and the property owner is Harmon Family Trust B 07-02-90. The approximately 11 .5-acre project site is located at 12623, 12624, 12650, and 12702 Oak Knoll Road and six additional vacant parcels within the southern area of City of Poway, along Oak Knoll Road, south of Poway Road and west of Carriage Road. The project location and zoning map is included as Attachment F. The project site is currently designated Residential Single Family 7 (RS-7) in the City of Poway General Plan, and similarly zoned RS-7, which permits single-family homes on a minimum of 4,500 square foot lots and a maximum density of eight dwelling units per acre (du/ac). The majority of the site has been cleared for several years and was recently used as a construction staging yard for an SDG&E gas line project. The site includes four existing single-family residences. One of the existing homes is a locally designated historic building located at 12702 Oak Knoll Road. The historic building was built in 1933 and is constructed of cobblestones. The building is presently designated as City of 2 of 111
April 2, 2024, Item #9
Poway
Historical
Site
113
and
is
documented
and
known
as
the
"Harmon
House."
The
historic
building
would
be
retained
in
place.

The
other
three
existing
single-family
homes
are
not
designated
as
historic
and
would
be
demolished
prior
to
project
construction.

The
project
is
located
on
both
sides
of
Oak
Knoll
Road.

The
four
new
units
on
the
southern
portion
of
the
project
will
all
be
accessed
directly
from
Oak
Knoll
Road,
the
59 new
units
on
the
northern
portion
of
the
project
will
take
access
from
Oak
Knoll
Road
onto
a private
looped
street
and
the
existing
locally
designated
historic
home
will
maintain
access
from
Oak
Knoll
Road.

The
project
is
not
within
the
Very
High
Fire
Hazard
zone
and
the
Fire
Department
has
determined
the
single
access
is
adequate.

The
project
will
include
several
open
space
areas
within
the
project.

The
project
land
use
plan
is
shown
in
Attachment
G.

The
applicant
is
proposing
a
specific
plan
as
part
of
the
project;
a
specific
plan
establishes
a
development
plan
for
a
specific
area,
allowing
a
project
to
modify
the
zoning
standards
of
the
municipal
code
that
are
only
applicable
to
that
project
area.

The
use
of
specific
plans
for
development
projects
is
not
new.

However,
both
the
state
and
county
are
strongly
encouraging
the
use
of
specific
plans
as
a
tool
to
increase
density
while
still
providing
local
land
use
control
via
the
discretionary
approval
process.

Specific
design
goals
are
established
to
implement
other
policies
of
the
General
Plan.

In
2023,
the
San
Diego
County
Grand
Jury
produced
a
report
to
address
the
local
housing
crisis
and
one
of
their
recommendations
was
the
use
of
specific
plans.

Also,
the
city's
Housing
Element
acknowledges
the
use
of
specific
plans
as
an
appropriate
development
planning
process
.

The
Harmon
Ranch
Specific
Plan
(HRSP)
would
include
63 new
single
family
detached
homes,
plus
the
one
existing
historic
home
on-site
for
a
total
of
64 residential
lots
within
the
HRSP
boundary
(Attachment
H).

The
project
proposes
approximately

5.71 acres
designated
for
new
residential
development,
a

0.25-acre
historic
home
site,

3.18 acres
of
open
space
areas,

1.88 acres
for
private
streets
and

0.49 acres
of
public
right-of-way
(ROW)
on
Oak
Knoll
Road
. Density
is
based
on
the
net
acreage
of
the
project
site,
which
is

7.26 acres
(11.51
acres
-

1.88 acres
(private
streets)
-

1.88 acres
(floodway)
-.49
acres
(public
street)).

The
proposed
density
is

8.8 du/ac
(64
total
residential
lots
I 7.26-
acre
net
project
area),
which
is
just
over
the
RS-7
designation
(8
du/ac).

Staff
estimates
that
under
the
existing
RS-7
General
Plan
land
use
designation
and
zoning,
58 units
could
be
built
under
the
net
density
calculation,
where
under
the
proposed
HRSP,
the
project
is
proposing
64 total
units.

The
proposed
density
provides
an
appropriate
transition
between
the
apartments
to
the
west
and
the
lower-density
single-family
residences
to
the
south
and
east.

To
accommodate
the
increase
in
density,
the
applicant
is
proposing
the
project
site's
General
Plan
land
use
designation
to
be
amended
to
the
Planned
Community
(PC)
designation,
which
allows
the
project
to
increase
the
maximum
allowable
density
from

8.0 du/ac
to

8.8 du/ac
by
virtue
of
adoption
of
the
proposed
HRSP
to
replace
the
site's
RS-7
zoning,
all
of
which
must
be
considered
and
approved
by
the
City
Council.

The
HRSP
would
replace
the
municipal
code
in
most
instances
as
the
regulatory
and
policy
document
governing
the
project
area.

As
part
of
the
HRSP,
modifications
from
the
RS-7
zone
are
proposed
for
density,
setbacks,
minimum
lot
size,
maximum
allowable
lot
coverage,
and
number
offloor
plans
for
subdivisions
(Attachment
I provides
a link
to
the
HRSP).

Below
are
two
charts
comparing
the
existing
RS-7
development
standards
and
the
proposed
HRSP
development
standards:

There
are

3.8 acres
of
open
space
within
the
HRSP's
proposed
Open
Space
(OS)
and
Open
Space
-
Recreation
(OS-R)
land
use
designations.

The
R-S
land
use
consists
of
traditional
single-family
homes
plotted
on
lots
ranging
from
3,470
square
feet
to
5,180
square
feet.

The
OS
land
use
is
designed
to
permanently
conserve
the
on-site
open
space
areas
that
contain
floodway
and
sensitive
biological
resources.

These
areas
shall
not
be
impacted
by
the
development
of
the
project
and
will
remain
as
natural
open
space
areas
. The
OS
-R
land
use
is
intended
to
provide
passive
and
active
recreational
opportunities,
open
landscaped
areas
to
support
the
new
residential
uses,
and
manufactured
slopes
within
the
specific
plan
area.

Recreation
amenities
shall
be
provided
to
support
healthy
and
active
lifestyles
and
encourage
community
interaction
and
engagement.

Site
Design
The
private
street
will
include
an
eight-foot-wide
segment
of
community
trail
located
between
Oak
Knoll
Road
and
the
north
portion
of
the
project
site.

As
identified
in
the
Poway
General
Plan,
the
community
trail
may
connect
to
the
Poway
Road
Corridor
in
the
future.

The
community
trail
would
be
located
along
Streets
A
and
a
portion
of
Street
C.

The
project
will
also
plant
screening
trees
along
the
eastern
boundary
of
the
project
site
to
help
soften
the
appearance
between
the
new
homes
and
the
adjacent
existing
homes
. The
project
will
provide
street
trees
within
the
private
homeowner
lots,
secured
with
a
six-foot
landscape
easement.

In
addition
to
the
street
trees,
the
project
will
provide
approximately
six
oak
trees
on
the
locally
designated
historic
home
lot
and
landscaping
and
trees
within
the
OS-R
areas.

Front
yard
landscaping
will
be
installed
by
the
developer
and
maintained
by
the
private
homeowner.

An
illustrative
site
plan
is
included
as
Attachment
J. The
community
Covenants,
Conditions,
and
Restrictions
(CC&Rs)
will
prohibit
homeowners
from
removing
street
trees
and
the
HOA
will
maintain
and
trim
the
trees.

Maintenance
and
operation
of
the
community
would
be
financed
through
a
Homeowners
Association
(HOA)
funded
entirely
by
the
project.

The
HOA
would
be
responsible
for
the
long-term
maintenance
and
preservation
of
all
private
streets,
private
utilities,
common
amenities,
community
facilities,
and
landscape
areas.

The
floodway
at
the
southern
portion
of
the
project
will
be
preserved
and
a
passive
open
space
area
will
be
created
adjacent
to
Oak
Knoll
Road
that
will
be
open
to the
public,
maintained
by
the
HOA
and
preserved
with
a
public
access
easement.

Two
passive
open
space
areas
will
be
located
in
the
northern
portion
of
the
project.

An
underground
stormwater
vault
will
be
located
near
the
Oak
Knoll
4 of 111
April 2, 2024, Item #9
Road
entrance
that
will
be
landscaped
above
for
passive
recreational
use.

The
project
will
include
an
eight-foot
community
trail
through
the
northern
portion
of
the
project
with
potential
connection
to
the
commercial
properties
on
Poway
Road.

The
historic
"Harmon
House"
will
be
preserved,
and
mitigation
measures
will
be
implemented
to
ensure
the
home
is
protected,
such
as,
ensuring
a
qualified
architectural
historian
be
retained
to
develop
a
plan
of
action
for
the
protection
of
the
"Harmon
House".

The
proposed
project
includes
an
approximate
28'-4"
cut
slope
at
~he
northeastern
boundary
of
the
project
adjacent
to
the
Kumeyaay
lpai
Interpretive
Center.

A
cross
section
has
been
provided
as
Attachment
K.

Home
Design
The
project
is
proposing
three
different
floor
plans
and
four
different
elevations
with
12 different
color
schemes
(Attachment
L).

Staff
reviewed
the
design
of
the
buildings
to
ensure
there
will
be
a
diverse
color
palette.

The
floor
plans
range
in
size
from
2,628
to
3,135
square
feet.

All
single-family
homes
will
be
two-stories
and
no
more
than
35 feet
in
height.

There
are
four
architectural
styles,
all
with
front
porch
features
off-set
from
the
garage
and
closer
to
the
street.

This
will
create
street-level
articulation
and
allows
for
parking
in
driveway.

Parking The
project
would
provide
adequate
parking
within
the
project
site
to
minimize
impacts
to
existing
residential streets
in
the
vicinity
and
all
parking
spaces
would
comply
with
the
requirements
of
the
Poway
Municipal
Code
(PMC)
unless
otherwise
specified
within
the
HRSP.

Each
residential
unit
would
include
a
minimum
of
a
two-car
garage
and
two
additional
uncovered
driveway
spaces.

The
project
would
also
provide
an
additional
40 parking
spaces
within
the
site.

A
total
of
290
parking
spaces
are
provided
equaling

4.6 parking
spaces
per
unit,
exceeding
the
requirements
within
the
PMC
of
two
garage
spaces
per
unit.

Additionally,
to
encourage
parking
within
the
garage,
each
new
residential
unit
will
contain
a
minimum
of
150
cubic
feet
of
overhead
storage
within
the
garage.

Traffic The
project
generates
630
daily
trips
with
51 (15
inbound/36
outbound)
trips
in
the
morning
peak
and
63 (44
inbound/
19 outbound)
trips
occurring
in
the
afternoon
peak
period.

Access
to
the
Project
would
be
provided
via
Poway
Road,
Pomerado
Road,
and
Oak
Knoll
Road.

These
roadways
would
provide
a
direct
connection
to
the
project
site.

The
pedestrian
trail
through
the
project
could
provide
a critical
pedestrian
link
between
the
project
and
the
regional
transportation
network.

The
project
will
have
a significant
environmental
impact
in
Vehicle
Miles
Traveled
(VMT)
compared
to
the
regional
VMT
capita.

VMT
is
a
measure
used
in
transportation
planning
for
a
variety
of
purposes.

It
measures
the
amount
of
travel
for
all
vehicles
in
a
geographic
region
over
a
given
period
of
time,
typically
a
one
year
period.

The
project
generates

20.7 VMT
miles
with
the
regional
threshold
being

16.1 VMT
miles
resulting
in
an
overall
increase
of
22%
compared
to
the
regional
average.

Therefore,
based
on
the
applied
significance criteria,
potential
impacts
caused
by
the
project
VMT
would
be
potentially
significant
and
mitigation
would
be
required,
as
mentioned
in
the
Mitigation
Monitoring
and
Reporting
Program
(MMRP)
included
with
the
EIR
for
the
project.

It should
be
noted
the
development
of
the
property
under
the
current
zone
(without
a specific
plan)
could
also
result
in
significant
impacts
5 of 111
April 2, 2024, Item #9
to VMT.

Based on United States Census data, the average people per household within the City is 2.99.

Therefore, the project would be anticipated to have a total of 188 residents (2.99 people per household X 63 units). All project residents would be targeted with the CBTP; (188 CBTP Targeted Residences/188 Total Residents) x 19% x 12% x1 = 2.3% VMT Reduction.

The 2.3% reduction is not sufficient to reduce the VMT per capita below the regional threshold (16.1 miles). As a result, even after mitigation, the project's VMT per capita would still result in a significant impact. There are no additional enforceable and quantifiable VMT reducing measures in which the proposed project can feasibility implement. Therefore, the proposed project's VMT related impact would be significant and unavoidable.
-
Pre-Development Conference
A Pre-Development Conference was held for this project on June 21, 2022. There were 14 speakers from the publit who had comments regarding the proposal. The comments from the public raised concerns over traffic safety of the neighborhood by taking access to the site from Roca Grande, concerns over density and concerns over the project proposing deviations from the PMC. The City Council also gave the applicant feedback regarding the proposal. The City Council was interested in traffic safety, not having access to the project site taken from Roca Grande, and the project complying with the development standards of the underlying zone. The applicant has removed the proposed access (including pedestrian access) from Roca Grande. After discussion with the residents of Roca Grande, the applicant has proposed a hammer head turnaround (within the project site) for large vehicles which will be maintained by the Homeowner's Association (HOA).

Neighborhood meeting
A neighborhood meeting was held on November 7th, 2023, at the Mickey Cafagna Community Center to discuss the HRSP project. The meeting was set up in an open house format with easels displaying project boards with information and graphics about the Project. Approximately 40 people attended throughout the evening. Several staff members were in attendance to observe and provide responses regarding city processes and zoning-related questions. Some topics of interest were density, consistency with the General Plan, access and traffic.

Meetings were also held by the applicant on October 30, 2023, and November 30, 2023, with the residents from Roca Grande to discuss their concerns. Additionally, the applicant met with residents adjacent to the project on an individual basis.

Public Correspondence
Letters and other correspondence received as of the printing of this report are provided in Attachment M. In addition, an online petition was presented to the City Council on March 19, 2024, and is available at the City Clerk's Office.

A Notice of Preparation (NOP) was issued on February 1, 2023, and a Scoping Meeting was held on February 16, 2023. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared for the SP which evaluated all environmental categories for potential impacts, including aesthetics, air quality, biological resources, cultural and tribal cultural resources, energy, geology and soils, greenhouse gas emissions, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use and planning, noise, population and housing, public services, recreation, transportation and traffic, utilities and services systems and wildfire risk. Technical studies included an air quality/greenhouse gas report, biology report, cultural resources report, geotechnical report, drainage report, stormwater quality management plan, GP consistency report, noise study, traffic report, sewer report, fire fuel management plan, and a neighborhood aesthetics analysis. Both project-specific and cumulative impacts were evaluated.

The Final EIR concludes that the project will have less than significant impacts and require no mitigation measures with respect to the following issues:
• Aesthetics
• Energy
• Greenhouse Gas Emissions
• Hazards and Hazardous Materials
• Hydrology
• Land Use and Planning
• Population and Housing
• Public Services
• Recreation
• Utilities and Service Systems
• Wildfire
Potentially significant impacts of the project will be mitigated to below a level of significance with respect to the following issues:
• Air Quality
• Biological Resources
• Cultural Resources
• Geology and Soils
• Noise
The Final EIR concludes that the project will have significant and unavoidable impacts with respect to the following issues:
• Transportation
The mitigation measures are included in the MMRP (Attachment N). The Final EIR concludes the potential impacts associated with the SP, through the incorporation of mitigation measures, will be mitigated to a level of insignificance, with the exception of transportation. The Final EIR discusses the project alternatives, the issue areas, and the mitigation measures in detail, as well as provides detailed responses to all public comments on the EIR. Based on whole of the administrative record, the CEQA Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations, staff recommends the City Council certify the EIR.

DRAFT CANDIDATE FINDINGS OF FACT
for

HARMON RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN PROJECT
SCH No. 2023020009
Resolution No. 24-

Page 5 ends

The following Candidate Findings of Fact (Findings) are made for The Harmon Ranch Specific Plan project (project or proposed project). The environmental effects of the proposed project are addressed in the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) dated March 2024, which is incorporated by reference herein.

The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Section 21081 [a]) and the State CEQA Guidelines (Section15091 [a]) require that no public agency shall approve or carry out a project for which an environmental impact report has been completed that identifies one or more significant effects thereof, unless such public agency makes one or more of the following findings:

1. Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which mitigate or avoid the significant environmental effects on the environment;

2. Those changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and have been or can or should be adopted by that other agency; or

3. Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including considerations for the provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or alternatives identified in the environmental impact report.

CEQA also requires that the Findings made pursuant to Section 15091 be supported by substantial evidence in the record (Section 15091 [b] of the State CEQA Guidelines). Under CEQA, substantial evidence means enough relevant information has been provided (and reasonable inferences from this information may be made) that a fair argument can be made to support a conclusion, even though other conclusions might also be reached. Substantial evidence must include facts, reasonable assumptions predicted upon facts, and expert opinion supported by facts (Section 15384 of the State CEQA Guidelines). 13 of 111

9. Create a land use plan that can realistically be developed within a foreseeable time frame and under projected economic conditions.

10. Assist the City to meet its requirements under state law with respect to developing housing in the City, specifically including state Housing Element law. b. Project Description
The Harmon Ranch Specific Plan Project is approximately 11.5 acres and includes a total of 63 new single-family homes and associated site improvements and retention of the existing historic home. The project proposes approximately 5.7 acres designated for residential development, a 0.25-acre historic home site, 3.2 acres of open space areas, 1.9 acres for private streets, and 0.5 acres of public right-of-way (Oak Knoll Road). The proposed project would include 63 single-family detached homes plus the 1 existing historic home on site for a total of 64 lots within the Specific Plan boundary. The proposed density is 8.8 dwelling units/acre (64 total residential lots/7.26-acre net project area not including private streets}, which is just over the existing RS-7 designation density. The proposed project is located in the southern portion of the City, along Oak Knoll Road, south of Poway Road and west of Carriage Road. The new land uses proposed by the Specific Plan include two open space uses and one residential land use. Parcels designated as open space would be permanently preserved as open space through deed restriction. One residential land use is also proposed. The Open Space (OS) is designed to permanently conserve the one-site open space areas that contain sensitive biological and/or cultural resources. These areas would not be impacted by development of the project and remain as natural open space areas. The Open Space - Recreation (OS-R) is intended to provide passive and active recreational opportunities and open landscaped areas to support the new residential uses and manufactured slopes within the Specific Plan area. Recreation amenities shall be provided to support healthy and active lifestyles and encourage community interaction and engagement. The Residential Single Family (R-S) consists of traditional single-family homes plotted on deeded legal lots. The approximately 3.2 acres of open space would consist of 2.2 acres of OS and 1.0 acres of OS-R.

These recreational amenities would be divided into OS-1 through OS-4, and OS-R-1 through OS-R-

7. The proposed project would be developed in phases. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2024 and end in 2026. A more detailed description of the proposed project, the project location, and the potential environmental effects associated with development of the proposed project, are provided in the Final EIR.

Ill. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PROCESS AND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION The lead agency approving the project and conducting environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code Sections 21000, et seq., and the Guidelines promulgated thereunder in California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Sections 15000 et seq.

i. Air Quality
Resolution No. 24-

Page 11 ends

Impact AQ-1: The proposed project would result in diesel particulate matter emissions during construction.

Facts in Support of Finding: MM-AQ-1 requires the project contractor to adhere to various measures during project construction to reduce diesel particulate emissions. Such measures include maintaining Tier 4 Interim diesel engines or better for equipment greater than 75 horsepower, ensuring that construction equipment meets the minimum engine size suitable for the required job, minimizing the number of construction equipment operating simultaneously, maintaining construction equipment in tune per the manufacturer's specifications, and verification of equipment type used during construction to the City of Poway. With implementation of mitigation MM-AQ-1, daily construction emissions would not exceed the significance thresholds for any criteria pollutant and impacts would be less than significant. ii. Biological Resources
Impact BI0-1: The proposed project has the potential to result in direct impacts to potentially occurring special-status species.

Facts in Support of Finding: MM-BIO-1 would establish various measures to be implemented to ensure environmental protection-during construction activities. This includes the installation of staking and silt fencing along the entire perimeter of the construction footprint/area proposed for grading. Additionally, pre-construction environmental awareness educational meetings for the team and crews, as well as biological monitoring during vegetation clearing and grading activities, would be mandatory.

Construction/contractor personnel would need to complete a Workers Environmental Awareness Program to ensure compliance with environmental/permit regulations and mitigation measures. Furthermore, construction-limits staking and biological monitoring would be put in place to prevent inadvertent impacts to special-status vegetation or potential special-status wildlife species and their habitat.

Under MM-BIO-3, in alignment with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 and Section 3503.5 of the California Fish and Game Code, steps would be taken to avoid direct impacts to raptors and/or any native/migratory birds. Removal of habitat supporting active nests in the proposed project site would be scheduled outside of the breeding season for these species (February 1 to September 15). If habitat removal during the breeding season is necessary, a qualified biologist would conduct a pre-construction survey to determine the presence or absence of nesting birds in the proposed area of disturbance. This survey would be conducted within 72 hours prior to the start of construction activities, including vegetation removal. If active nests are detected, the area would be flagged and mapped on the construction plans, along with a 300-to 500-foot avoidance buffer for raptors, and avoided until the nesting cycle is complete or it's determined that the nest has failed. Noise monitoring may also be required, and the final buffer determination would be made by the biologist(s). By implementing measures to avoid disturbing migratory bird and raptor nests, as well as functional foraging habitats for raptors and other species, Impact BIO-1 would be minimized to less than significant.

Impact 810-2: The proposed project may indirectly affect Special-status wildlife during project construction.

Facts in Support of Finding: MM-BIO-4 outlines specific requirements to be included in grading and building plans prior to construction permit issuance. Employees must confine their activities, vehicles, equipment, and construction materials strictly within the fenced project footprint to minimize environmental impact. Additionally, to prevent attracting predators, the project site must be kept free of debris, with all food-related trash items securely enclosed in sealed containers and regularly removed. Any lighting installed for construction purposes should be directed away from riparian and wetland habitats. Dust control measures, such as water trucks, must be implemented to reduce fugitive dust. Lastly, pets belonging to project personnel are not permitted on the project site to ensure site cleanliness and minimize disruption to wildlife habitats.

MM-BIO-5 mandates adherence to measures outlined in the Poway General Plan and Poway Grading Ordinance for all construction activities adjacent to wetland habitat areas. These measures are designed to prevent degradation of wetland and riparian habitats from erosion. Grading activities are prohibited during the rainy season (October 1st through April 15th) unless an approved erosion control plan and program are in place. Similarly, grading or vegetation removal adjacent to wetland areas during the rainy season is restricted, unless allowed on a site-specific basis with the provision of all necessary erosion control devices, which must be installed and maintained throughout the grading period. With implementation of MM-BIO-4 and MM-BIO-5, direct impacts to Special-status wildlife during project construction would be less than significant. iv. Biological Resources
Impact 810-3: The proposed project could result in potential indirect impacts, including noise, lighting, and increased human presence and vehicle traffic within the site that could significantly affect nesting birds.

Facts in Support of Finding: Under MM-BIO-3, in alignment with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 and Section 3503.5 of the California Fish and Game Code, steps would be taken to avoid direct impacts to raptors and/or any native/migratory birds. Removal of habitat supporting active nests in the proposed project site would be scheduled outside of the breeding season for these species (February 1 to September 15). If habitat removal during the breeding season is necessary, a qualified biologist would conduct a pre-construction survey to determine the presence or absence of nesting birds in the proposed area of disturbance. This survey would be conducted within 72 hours prior to the start of construction activities, including vegetation removal. If active nests are detected, the area would be flagged and mapped on the construction plans, along with a 300-to 500-foot avoidance buffer for raptors, and avoided until the nesting cycle is complete or it's determined that the nest has failed. Noise monitoring may also be required, and the final 20 of 111

buffer determination would be made by the biologist(s). By implementing measure MM-BIO- 3 impacts to BIO-3 would be minimized to less than significant. v. Biological Resources
Impact B10-4: The proposed project would result in impacts to sensitive habitats.

Facts in Support of Finding: Prior to construction permit issuance, grading, and building plans must prioritize the protection of wetland and riparian areas through the implementation of on site construction fencing, as outlined in MM-BIO-1 and MM-BIO-2. These plans should clearly depict the placement of construction fencing and specify that it must be maintained throughout the entire duration of construction activity until the permanent outer wall proposed for the new development is constructed. This fencing is crucial for safeguarding adjacent riparian and wetland habitats from any potential disturbance. Additionally, as stated in MM-BIO-4, strict measures must be enforced to confine all construction-related activities, vehicles, equipment, and materials within the fenced project footprint to minimize environmental impact.

Furthermore, adherence to the Poway General Plan and Poway Grading Ordinance, as detailed in MM-BIO-5, is essential for preventing degradation of wetland and riparian habitats from erosion. These measures, including the prohibition of grading activities during the rainy season without an approved erosion control plan and program in place, aim to ensure the preservation of these sensitive ecosystems throughout the construction process. With implementation of these measures, MM-BIO-1, MM-BIO-2, MM-BIO-4 and MM-BIO-5, impacts to BIO-4 would be minimized to less than significant.

Impact BIO-CU-1: The proposed project would potentially contribute to a cumulatively considerable impact to special status species.

Facts in Support of Finding: MM-B1O-3 directs the implementation of measures to mitigate environmental impacts during construction activities, particularly focusing on the protection of raptors, migratory birds, and their habitats. These measures include conducting pre construction surveys to identify nesting birds and establishing avoidance buffers to prevent disturbance. Complementing these efforts, MM-B1O-4 emphasizes the importance of on-site environmental protocols, such as confining construction activities within designated areas, implementing dust control measures, and prohibiting pets to maintain site cleanliness.

Furthermore, MM-B1O-5 mandates compliance with specific measures outlined in the Poway General Plan and Poway Grading Ordinance to safeguard wetland and riparian habitats from erosion. Together, these measures aim to minimize environmental disturbances and ensure the preservation of sensitive ecosystems throughout the construction process. With implementation of these measures, MM-B1O-3, MM-B1O-4, and MM-B1O-5, impacts to B1O-CU-1 would be minimized to less than significant.
viii. Biological Resources
Impact BIO-CU-2: The proposed project would potentially contribute to a cumulatively considerable impact to riparian habitat or other sensitive natural communities.

Facts in Support of Finding: The proposed project's potential contribution to a cumulatively considerable impact on riparian habitat or other sensitive natural communities necessitates mitigation measures; MM-B1O-1, MM-B1O-2, MM-B1O-4, and MM-B1O-5. MM-B1O-1 and MM-B1O- 2 call for the implementation of on-site construction fencing to protect wetland and riparian areas. These measures ensure that construction activities are confined within designated areas and prevent inadvertent disturbances to sensitive habitats until the permanent outer wall is constructed, safeguarding adjacent riparian and wetland habitats. Additionally, MM-B1O-4 emphasizes the importance of adhering to strict environmental protocols on-site, such as confining construction activities, implementing dust control measures, and maintaining site cleanliness to prevent disruption to wildlife habitats. Furthermore, MM-B1O-5 mandates compliance with specific measures outlined in the Poway General Plan and Poway Grading Ordinance to prevent degradation of wetland and riparian habitats from erosion during construction. With implementation of these measures, MM-B1O-1, MM-B1O-2, MM-B1O_4, and MM-B1O-5, impacts to B1O-CU-2 would be minimized to less than significant. ix. Biological Resources
Impact BIO-CU-3: The proposed project would potentially contribute to the cumulative impact to jurisdictional waters and wetlands.

site construction fencing to protect wetland and riparian areas, ensuring that construction activities remain confined within designated areas and prevent inadvertent disturbances to sensitive habitats until the permanent outer wall is constructed, thereby safeguarding adjacent jurisdictional waters and wetlands. MM-B1O-4 underscores the importance of strict adherence to on-site environmental protocols, including confining construction activities, implementing dust control measures, and maintaining site cleanliness to prevent disruption to wildlife habitats and minimize impacts on adjacentjurisdictional waters and wetlands. Additionally, MM-B1O-5 mandates compliance with specific measures outlined in the Poway General Plan and Poway Grading Ordinance to prevent erosion and degradation of wetland and riparian habitats, thereby safeguarding jurisdictional waters and wetlands from adverse cumulative impacts during construction. With implementation of these measures, MM-B1O-1, MM-B1O-2, MM-BIO_ 4, and MM-B1O-5, impacts to B1O-CU-3 would be minimized to less than significant. x. Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources
Impact CUL-1: The proposed project has the potential to materially alter the structure of the rock house (existing historic home, referred to as the Harmon House) through construction-related vibration impacts.

Facts in Support of Finding: MM-CUL-1 would implement a comprehensive plan to safeguard the historical significance of Harmon House during all phases of construction for the proposed project. The project proponent is required to inform construction personnel about the location and importance of Harmon House, along with the avoidance and protective measures to be implemented when working nearby. A Qualified Architectural Historian, meeting the Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualifications Standards, will be retained to develop a detailed plan in coordination with the City of Poway and the project proponent. This plan includes procedures for reviewing construction plans to note Harmon House's location, initial testing for potential vibration impacts, conducting preconstruction and post-construction surveys to document the house's condition, and implementing protective barriers. Monitoring procedures and notification protocols will be established, and a technical memorandum documenting compliance with protective measures will be submitted to the City of Poway for review and approval. The final approved plan must be submitted before the commencement of work, and the technical memorandum documenting pre-construction and post-construction conditions must be provided within specific timelines to ensure the preservation of Harmon House. With implementation of the comprehensive plan to safeguard the historic significance of Harmon House outlined in MM CUL-1, impacts to the existing historic home would be less than significant. xi. Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources
Impact CUL-2: Project implementation may result in a substantial adverse change to the setting of the Harmon House (existing historic home).

Facts in Support of Finding: Implementation of MM-CUL-2 would entail the development and execution of a landscape plan for the northern boundary of the Harmon House property in consultation with a Qualified Architectural Historian. This plan will aim to integrate visual screening elements, particularly trees, to mitigate any potential visual impacts from the new 23 of 111

development proposed to the north of the property. The project proponent will work closely with the Qualified Architectural Historian to ensure that the landscape plan aligns with preservation goals and standards. Furthermore, the execution of this landscape plan will be documented within the technical memorandum detailing pre-construction and post construction conditions, as outlined in MM-CUL-1, to ensure adherence to preservation measures throughout the project. With implementation of MM-CUL-2, impacts related to CUL- 2 would be less than significant.
xii. Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources
Impact CUL-3: Ground disturbance during project construction could result in the potential to unearth buried archaeological resources.

Facts in Support of Finding: MM-CUL-3 would implement an archaeological resources monitoring program designed to mitigate potential impacts to undiscovered, buried, or previously undetected elements of any archaeological resources within the project site, subject to the satisfaction of the Lead Agency. This program encompasses several key components, including the retention of a qualified archaeologist to oversee the monitoring program and the engagement of a Traditionally Culturally Affiliated (TCA) Native American representative to provide insight on culturally sensitive artifacts or landforms. The project archaeologist and TCA Native American monitor will coordinate closely throughout the monitoring process, which includes attending pre-grading meetings, conducting on-site monitoring during grading activities, and taking appropriate action in the event of the discovery of previously unidentified cultural resources. Additionally, protocols for the treatment and disposition of human remains, if encountered during grading, are outlined in accordance with relevant state codes. All cultural materials collected during the monitoring program will be cataloged, analyzed, and curated according to professional standards, with a comprehensive report documenting the monitoring program and any field investigations submitted to the Lead Agency prior to the issuance of building permits. With implementation of MM-CUL-3 impacts related to CUL-3 would be minimized to less than significant. xiii. Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources

accordance with relevant state codes. All cultural materials collected during the monitoring program will be cataloged, analyzed, and curated according to professional standards, with a comprehensive report documenting the monitoring program and any field investigations submitted to the Lead Agency prior to the issuance of building permits. With implementation of MM-CUL-3 impacts related to CUL-4 would be minimized to less than significant. xiv. Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources
Impact CUL-5: If cultural resources are found at the project site, impacts related to tribal cultural resources would be potentially significant.

Facts in Support of Finding: MM-CUL-3 would implement an archaeological resources monitoring program designed to mitigate potential impacts to undiscovered, buried, or previously undetected elements of any archaeological resources within the project site, subject to the satisfaction of the Lead Agency. This program encompasses several key components, including the retention of a qualified archaeologist to oversee the monitoring program and the engagement of a Traditionally Culturally Affiliated (TCA) Native American representative to provide insight on culturally sensitive artifacts or landforms. The project archaeologist and TCA Native American monitor will coordinate closely throughout the monitoring process, which includes attending pre-grading meetings, conducting on-site monitoring during grading activities, and taking appropriate action in the event of the discovery of previously unidentified cultural resources. Additionally, protocols for the treatment and disposition of human remains, if encountered during grading, are outlined in accordance with relevant state codes. All cultural materials collected during the monitoring program will be cataloged, analyzed, and curated according to professional standards, with a comprehensive report documenting the monitoring program and any field investigations submitted to the Lead Agency prior to the issuance of building permits. With implementation of MM-CUL-3 impacts related to CUL-5 would be minimized to less than significant. xv. Geology and Soils
Impact GE0-1: If unexpected intact paleontological resources are unearthed during ground disturbing activities, then the proposed project could result in significant impacts to unique paleontological resources or sites, or unique geologic features.

Facts in Support of Finding: MM-GEO-1 outlines a paleontological monitoring program to address potential impacts to paleontological resources within areas of moderate to high sensitivity before any grading activities commence. As per the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology guidelines, a qualified paleontologist must be retained by the applicant and present at the preconstruction meeting, with a paleontological monitor on-site during significant ground-disturbing activities. If paleontological resources such as fossils are discovered during grading or trenching, the monitor will temporarily halt or divert grading activity to facilitate recovery, roping off the discovery area with a SO-foot radius buffer.

Recovered paleontological resources will undergo stabilization, preparation, cataloging, and identification before being curated at an accredited fossil repository. Monitoring of specific geologic units, such as the Pleistocene terrace deposits and the middle Eocene Friars Formation, will be conducted full-time initially and adjusted based on monitoring results.

event of well-preseNed fossils, the qualified paleontologist has the authority to halt or redirect construction activities for timely recovery. A detailed report summarizing monitoring and recovery efforts, including a map of fossil site locations, will be submitted to the City of Poway within three months of concluding monitoring activities. With implementation of MM-GEO-1 impacts related to GEO-1 would be minimized to less than significant. xvi. Noise
Impact NOl-1: The project could result in potentially significant construction noise impacts upon existing residences in the project vicinity.

Facts in Support of Finding: MM-NOl-1 mandates the preparation and submission of a Construction Noise Management Plan (CNMP) by the project applicant/owner or construction contractor to the City of Poway Planning Division for review and approval prior to the issuance of a Construction Permit. This plan, prepared or reviewed by a qualified acoustician, outlines detailed construction schedules correlated to on-site project activities and equipment types, along with suggested locations for noise level monitoring. If noise levels exceed the City of Poway's threshold, construction work must be suspended for the activity or phase in question, and measures outlined in the CNMP, such as administrative or engineering controls, or noise abatement measures, must be implemented and approved by the qualified acoustician before work can resume. The CNMP also includes provisions for addressing community noise complaints through a telephone hotline and outlines procedures for investigating and resolving valid complaints, with documentation provided to the City of Poway Planning Division. The effectiveness of implemented mitigation measures is documented and reported to ensure ongoing compliance with noise thresholds. With implementation of MM-NOl-1 impacts to NOl-1 would be minimized to less than significant.
xvii. Transportation
Impact TRA-1: The proposed project would generate a VMT per capita over the regional threshold.

Facts in Support of Finding: MM-TRA-1 would provide alternative modes of transportation information to residents and tenant as part of the "New Resident" or "New Tenant" package.

The HOA will also provide residents with transit schedules within the area, and alert residents when new transit seNices are added, or seNices are charged. The HOA will also act as Travel Advisor, providing new residents and tenants wit information regarding how members of households can travel in alternative ways that meet their needs. Based on US Census data, the average people per household within the City is 2.99. Therefore, the project would be anticipated to have a total of 191 residents (2.99 people per household X 64 units).

All project residents would be targeted with the CBTP. (191 CBTP Targeted Residences/191 Total Residents) x 19% x 12% x1 = 2.3% VMT Reduction. With implementation of MM-TRA-1, impacts related to TRA-1 would be minimized to less than significant. 26 of 111

VI. FINDINGS REGARDING MITIGATION MEASURES WHICH ARE THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF ANOTHER AGENCY (CEQA 21081(a)(2) AND CEQA GUIDELINES 15091 (a)(s)) The City, having reviewed and considered the information contained in the Final EIR and the Record of Proceedings, finds pursuant to CEQA Section 21081 (a)(2) and CEQA Guidelines Section 15091 (a)(2) that there are no changes or alterations which could reduce significant impacts that are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency.

VII. FINDINGS REGARDING ALTERNATIVES (CEQA 21081(a)(3) and CEQA Guidelines 15091 (a)(3))
In accordance with Section 15126.6(a) of the Guidelines, an environmental impact report (EIR) must contain a discussion of "a range of reasonable alternatives to a project, or the location of a project, which would feasibly attain most of the basic objectives of the project but would avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant effects of the project, and evaluate the comparative merits of the alternatives." Section 15126.6(f) further states that "the range of alternatives in an EIR is governed by the 'rule of reason' that requires the EIR to set forth only those alternatives necessary to permit a reasoned choice." Thus, the following discussion focuses on project alternatives that are capable of eliminating significant environmental impacts or substantially reducing them as compared to the proposed project, even if the alternative would impede the attainment of some project objectives, or would be more costly. In accordance with Section 15126.6(f)(1) of the Guidelines, among the factors that may be taken into account when addressing the feasibility of alternatives are: (1) site suitability; (2) economic viability; (3) availability of infrastructure; (4) general plan consistency; (5) other plans or regulatory limitations; (6) jurisdictional boundaries; and (7) whether the proponent can reasonably acquire, control or otherwise have access to the alternative site.

As required in Section 15126.6(a), in developing the alternatives to be addressed in this section, consideration was given to an alternative's ability to meet most of the basic objectives of the project. Because the Harmon Ranch Specific Plan project will cause potentially significant environmental effects unless mitigated, the City must consider the feasibility of any environmentally superior alternatives to the project, evaluating whether these alternatives could avoid or substantially lessen the potentially significant environmental effects while achieving most of the objectives of the project.

The City, having reviewed and considered the information contained in the Final EIR and the Record of Proceedings, and pursuant to Public Resource Code Section 21081 (a)(3) and State CEQA Guidelines Section 15091 (a)(3), makes the following findings with respect to the alternatives identified in the Final EIR (SCH No. 2023020009):

Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including considerations of the provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible alternatives identified in the Final EIR (SCH No. 2023020009) as described below, as well as any additional mitigation measures.
"Feasible"is defined in Section 15364 of the CEQA Guidelines to mean "capable of being accomplished in a successful manner within a reasonable period of time, 27 of 111

taking into account economic, environmental, legal, social, and technological factors." The CEQA statute (Section 21081) and Guidelines (Section 15019(a)(3)) also provide that "other" considerations may form the basis for a finding of infeasibility.

Case law makes clear that a mitigation measure or alternative can be deemed infeasible on the basis of its failure to meet project objectives or on related public policy grounds.
a) Alternatives under Consideration
The project alternatives are summarized below along with the findings relevant to each alternative.

1. No Project/No Development Alternative
CEQA requires an evaluation of the "No Project" alternative so that decision makers can compare the impacts of approving the proposed project with the impacts of not approving it (California Public Resources Code, Section 21000 et seq.). According to CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6(e), the No Project Alternative must include the assumption that conditions at the time of the Notice of Preparation (i.e., baseline environmental conditions) would not be changed since the proposed project would not be implemented.

The No Project/No Development Alternative assumes that the proposed project would not be developed, which means there would be no residential, recreational, trail, and other community and conservation uses developed on site. Traffic improvements would not be constructed. None of the proposed project site would be permanently preserved as open space. In its existing condition, the site would remain as an undeveloped dirt lot with the four existing residences. Maintenance of the site would not be required.

In comparing the No Project/No Development Alternative to the proposed project, CEQA provides that the "lead agency should proceed to analyze the impacts of the no project alternative by projecting what would reasonably be expected to occur in the foreseeable future if the project were not approved, based on current plans and consistent with available infrastructure and community services" (14 CCR 15126.6[e][3][C]).

Below, the No Project/No Development Alternative is compared to the proposed project as though it would remain in its existing condition. The existing site, a mostly cleared and primarily vacant dirt lot containing four existing single-family residences that was formerly used as a construction staging yard for San Diego Gas & Electric Company, would retain the underlying Poway Comprehensive Plan: General Plan (General Plan) land use designations and zoning of Residential-Single Family Residential Single Family 7 (RS-7) and would remain in its current condition.

Page 21 ends

The No Project Alternative would avoid all impacts identified under the proposed project, as it would avoid any ground-disturbing activities, construction-related emissions, and operational impacts associated with development. Under this alternative, the site would remain in its existing environmental conditions.

Consequently, the No Project Alternative would result in no impacts through the absence of development.

Findings and Supporting Facts:

By maintaining the site in its existing condition, devoid of any new development, this alternative ensures the preservation of air quality, biological resources, cultural and tribal cultural resources, geology and soils, and noise levels. The absence of ground disturbing activities and construction-related emissions eliminates the need for mitigation measures proposed for the project, leading to a significant reduction in potential impacts. Moreover, while the proposed project exacerbates transportation related impacts due to increased VMT, the No Project Alternative circumvents these issues entirely by not contributing to additional vehicular traffic or infrastructure demands. Thus, the comparison underscores the environmental efficacy of the No Project Alternative as a means of minimizing adverse effects and preserving the ecological integrity of the site. However, this No Project Alternative does not meet any Project objectives or achieve any Project benefits.

2. Existing Zoning Alternative
The Existing Zoning Alternative would have the project site retain its original zoning designation, Residential Single Family 7 (RS-7), instead of changing its zoning to Planned Community (PC). RS-7 zones in the City of Poway permit single-family homes on a minimum of 4,500-square-foot lots and a maximum density of 8 dwelling units per acre (City of Poway 1991 ). Since the residential project area is 7.26 acres, that means that the project site could have a maximum of 58 housing units, five fewer than the proposed project's goal of 63 units. Although fewer units would be developed, the footprint of disturbance to construct the reduced number of residences would be roughly the same as the proposed project, since the lot sizes would be larger.

Potentially Significant Effects:

The comparison of the effects between the proposed project and the Existing Zoning Alternative would result in similar environmental impacts. Both scenarios pose potential significant impacts on air quality, biological resources, cultural and tribal cultural resources, geology and soils, noise, and transportation. Despite differences in the number of residences constructed, the footprint of disturba.nce and associated impacts remain consistent between the proposed project and the alternative.

Mitigation measures proposed for the project would similarly be required for the alternative, indicating comparable levels of impact. This suggests that while the 29 of 111

Page 22 ends

alternative may marginally reduce certain impacts due to a smaller scale of development, it still necessitates similar mitigation efforts and yields parallel environmental consequences to those of the proposed project.

Findings to Support Facts:

The findings outlined in the comparison highlight the comparable nature of the potential effects between the proposed project and the Existing Zoning Alternative.

Mitigation similar to that proposed under the project would be required under this alternative for all identified project impact areas. Despite comparable impacts on the environment, the Existing Zoning Alternative would implement the Project objectives to a lesser extent than the project by producing less housing and implementing a project that is not master planned. This Alternative is ultimately infeasible for these reasons, as well as financially infeasible.

3. Density Bonus Alternative
Under the Density Bonus Alternative, the project site would be developed with up to 92 lots utilizing the State's density Bonus Program. Four (4) of the proposed 92 units under this Alternative would be designated as very low income units. The 92 units would be single-family homes, with internal circulation and approximately 4,500 sf of open space recreation area. This Alternative would use the allowed Density Bonus concession request to reduce the zoned minimum lot sizes for the site from 4,500 sf to 2,400 sf.

A developer may acquire the right to develop at a specific density under State of California Density Bonus Law (Government Code Sections 65915-65918). The State of California's Density Bonus Law was established to promote the construction of affordable housing units and allows projects to exceed the maximum designated density and to use development standard waivers, reductions or incentives and concessions in exchange for providing affordable housing units in compliance with all current density bonus regulations. The City is required to implement these state requirements. The project proposes 63 total single-family homes, which is fewer than the 92 allowed under the density bonus.

With approval of the Density Bonus, the City may not legally require a reduced number of units the applicant is permitted to construct below the 92 single-family units proposed under this Alternative. This Alternative would provide affordable housing on site to help satisfy the State and City's current and future demand for housing.

Potentially Significant Effects:

Under the Density Bonus Alternative, there would be a substantial increase in housing units, resulting in similar or increased impacts compared to the project. While both scenarios entail similar ground-disturbing activities and construction-related emissions, the Density Bonus Alternative introduces additional units, potentially exacerbating impacts to air quality, biological resources, cultural and tribal cultural 30 of 111

Page 23 ends

resources, noise, and transportation. This alternative, by allowing for the development of more homes than the proposed project, could lead to longer durations of construction-related emissions and increased traffic, necessitating additional mitigation measures to address these heightened impacts. Consequently, compared to the proposed project, the Density Bonus Alternative presents comparable or potentially greater impacts.

Findings to Support Facts:

Despite offering the potential for affordable housing units, the Density Bonus Alternative introduces significant environmental considerations, including heightened impacts on air quality, biological resources, cultural and tribal cultural resources, noise, and transportation. The increase in the number of units exacerbates existing environmental concerns, potentially necessitating additional mitigation measures beyond those proposed for the project. While the alternative aligns with state requirements aimed at promoting affordable housing, it also underscores the need for careful consideration of environmental impacts and further public outreach. This Alternative is not feasible because it does not avoid any significant environmental impacts, but would only increase those impacts.

Statement of Overriding Considerations
The City Council of the City of Poway adopts and makes this statement of overriding considerations concerning the project's unavoidable significant impacts to transportation to explain why the project's benefits override and outweigh its unavoidable impacts.

The City Council of the City of Poway finds that the project's significant environmental impacts are acceptable when balanced with the project's benefits.

Each of the benefits cited below constitutes a separate and independent basis that justifies approval of the project and outweighs the unavoidable adverse environmental effects of approving the project, and thus make the adverse environmental effects acceptable. Thus, even in the absence of one or more of the reasons set forth below, the City has determined that each remaining reason, or any combinations of reasons, is a sufficient basis for approving the project, notwithstanding any significant and unavoidable impacts that may occur.

1. Single-Family Housing: The project's proposed single-family homes and associated amenities would support a reasonable share of the City's projected regional population growth to help the City meet its required regional housing needs, as detailed in the City's General Plan Housing Element and SANDAG's Regional Housing Needs Assessment. The project would assist with the City's high demand of available single-family homes.

2. Tax and Public Facilities Financing: The project will provide a stable and significant source of property tax revenue for the City, which will be significantly increased compared to existing conditions. The project will make a fair share contribution towards the financing of public improvements and services, including police, fire, parks and recreation, and roadway infrastructure through development impact fee 31 of 111

3. Job Creation: The project will boost the local economy by supporting construction related jobs during the approximately 29 months of project construction.

4. Housing in Proximity to Jobs and Services: The project would provide an opportunity for workers to reside within in the City in close proximity to job centers within the City, such as the City's business park, and other surrounding municipalities, which would reduce VMT and other environmental impacts associated with longer commutes, including air quality and noise. By providing reasonably priced housing in the City, the project would also support the City's employers and their ability to attract quality employees.

5. Designated Open Space: The project would designate approximately 3.2-acres of open space area onsite, consisting of preserved biological habitat, usable open space available to both residents of the site and the public, and designated non-useable open space area. The site is currently not open to the public.

Conclusion
In light of the foregoing, and the information contained within the Final EIR and other portions of the project record, the City concludes that implementation of the Harmon Ranch Specific Plan Project will result in the development of a beneficial project as outlined above. The City also finds that the benefits identified above outweigh and make acceptable the significant, unavoidable environmental impacts associated with the Harmon Ranch Specific Plan Project and, accordingly, adopts this Statement of Overriding Considerations. 32 of 111

WHEREAS, the City Council considered Tentative Tract Map (TTM) 22-0001 and Development Review (DR) 22-0003; a request to subdivide 11.5 acres of land into 64 lots, construct 63 new single-family residences and preserve one locally designated historic home located at 12623, 12624, 12650, 12702 Oak Knoll Road and six additional vacant parcels in the Residential Single Family 7 (RS-7) zone;
WHEREAS, on April 2, 2024, the City Council of the City of Poway also considered approval of the Harmon Ranch Specific Plan (HRSP) (SP) 22-0001 and associated entitlements General Plan Amendment (GPA) 22-0001, Zone Change (ZC) 22-0001 and Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) 24-0001 as well as the certification of a Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) (EA 23-0001 ), a request to adopt a specific plan, subdivide 11.5 acres of land, and construct 63 new residences, preserve one locally designated historic home.

WHEREAS, on April 2, 2024, the City Council held a duly advertised public hearing to receive testimony from the public, both for and against, relative to this matter; and WHEREAS, the City Council has read and considered the agenda report for the proposed project, including the attachments, and has considered all other evidence presented at the public hearing;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Poway as follows:

SECTION 1: The above recitals are true and correct.

SECTION 2: A FEIR (EA 22-0001) was prepared for the HRSP SP 22-0001 and associated entitlements GPA 22-0001, ZC 22-0001, ZOA 24-0001, TTM 22-0001 and DR 22- 0003. The City Council certified the FEIR at a duly noticed public hearing on April 2, 2024. This TTM and DR is made in furtherance of, and consistent with, SP 22-0001 and are required entitlements to allow development of the Harmon Ranch project, as specifically analyzed in the FEIR. Approval of TTM 22-0001 and DR 22-0003 is part of the City Council's April 2, 2024, approval of the entire Harmon Ranch project.

SECTION 3: The findings, in accordance with the State Subdivision Map Act (Government Code Section 66410 et. seq.) for TTM 22-0001, are made as follows:

A. The TTM is consistent with the objectives and policies of the General Plan in that it would allow for the construction of single-family residences at a density and design compatible with surrounding existing development.

ATTACHMENT C
38 of 111
April 2, 2024, Item #9
Resolution No. 24-

Page 2 ends

B. The design and improvements required of the TTM are permitted within the Planned Community (PC) zoning and the HRSP established design and improvement standards, in that the approved lot sizes and configurations adhere to the development standards of the HRSP and the Poway Municipal Code (PMC) and allow for properly spaced buildings and provide areas for landscape and encourage a variety in the design and placement of structures.

C. The site is physically suitable for the type of development and the density proposed, in that the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed density and is compatible and in character with development in the vicinity and the development minimizes the amount of grading needed for development and utility construction and the development sites and roadways are oriented to follow the natural terrain to maintain landform integrity.

D. The design of the TTM is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage and avoidable injury to humans and wildlife or their habitat, in that the proposed project will be developed in accordance with City and other governmental agency requirements and mitigation measures will be incorporated pursuant to the FEIR, as specified in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP).

E. The approval of the TTM is not likely to cause serious public health problems in that the City water and sewer service will be provided to the proposed project.

F. The design of the TTM will not conflict with any easement acquired by the public at large, now on record, for access through or use of the property within the subdivision. The ultimate development of the site shall be accommodated without obstructing or otherwise impacting existing easements or improvements within existing easements, without first obtaining authorization from the easement holders.

SECTION 4: The findings for DR 22-0003, in accordance with the PMC Section

17.52.010 Purpose of DR, are made as follows:

A. The proposed project has been designed to be architecturally compatible with surrounding development and conforms to the HRSP development standards and design guidelines.

There are varying building types and varying architectural styles, colors, and materials with the same or similar styles, colors, and materials as the surrounding area. The proposed development complies with grading limitations of the General Plan. The development respects the interdependence of land values and aesthetics to the benefit of the City and surrounding area and provides a landscape buffer around the majority of the proposed project area.

B. The proposed project has been designed to mIrnmIze impacts on surrounding development by utilizing a compatible architectural design consistent with HRSP.

Therefore, the proposed development respects the public concerns for the aesthetics of development and encourages the orderly and harmonious appearance of structures and property within the City.

C. The proposed development will maintain the public health, safety and general welfare within the City in that it will meet City grading, building, and stormwater quality requirements and comply with City standards for development.

D. The granting of the DR would be cognizant of the public concerns for aesthetic 39 of 111
April 2, 2024, Item #9
Resolution No. 24-

Page 3 ends

development in that the development will consist of single-family homes, passive open space areas and landscaping that will blend in with the natural setting in colors and design and will not distract from the existing natural landforms.

E. The proposed project will not have an adverse aesthetic, health, safety or architecturally related impact upon adjoining properties or the City in general, in that the proposed project will be similar to other development in the area, create a transition in density between multi-family zone to the west and single-family zone to the east and will comply with City design standards and meet City grading, building and stormwater quality requirements.

F. The proposed project generally complies with the vision and the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance and the General Plan.

SECTION 5: The findings, in accordance with Government Code Section 66020 for the public improvements needed as a result of the proposed development to protect the public health, safety and welfare, are made as follows:

A. The design and improvements of the proposed development are consistent with all elements of the Poway General Plan, as well as City Ordinances, because common facilities will be available to serve the proposed project and the general public.

B. The construction of public improvements is needed as a result of the proposed development to protect the public health, safety and welfare as further described in the conditions of approval.

C. In accordance with the Poway General Plan, the proposed project requires the payment of development impact fees, which are assessed on a pro-rata basis to finance public infrastructure improvements, which promote a safe and healthy environment for the residents of the City.

SECTION 6: The City Council finds that this TTM and DR is consistent with SP 22-0001, GPA 22-0001 and the corresponding ZC 22-0001, ZOA 24-0001 and would maintain land use compatibility with the surrounding properties.

SECTION 7: The City Council hereby approves TTM 22-0001 and DR 22-0003 including the proposed uses as shown on file in the Development Services Department, except as noted herein and subject to the following conditions:

Honorable Mayor Vaus and Members of the City Council -
I'm writing to reiterate the sentiments I shared during the June 2022 Developer's Conference for Lennar's proposal for my family's property on Oak Knoll Road. The Harmon family has owned these 10+ acres since 1966 and have been members of this community ever since. It's with that perspective that we embarked on the journey to find the right development partner.

After reviewing multiple proposals from prospective buyers (primarily apartment developers), we came to quickly understand that an increase in density for the site would be necessary for a project to work in this market. We selected Lennar, not because their offer was the highest, but because we felt their vision for a for-sale neighborhood for families was most in line with the Poway we know and love.

Rather than selecting the highest bidder and moving on quickly, we chose the plan that we thought would be the most agreeable to our neighbors and to the city. • The rhetoric around the housing crisis isn't new. Nevertheless, we believe that it's still possible and our obligation as the property owner, to put forward a community that is thoughtful and sensitive to its surroundings. That's what Lennar has done here.

On behalf of the Harmon Family, we ask that you please take this rationale into consideration when you vote on the Harmon Ranch project in the coming months.

Sincerely,
c-DocuSlgned by:

why
this
is
important

EXTERNAL
EMAi
L
Mayor
and
Councilmembers,
Forty-four
years
ago,
I was
knocking
on
doors,
asking
my
neighbors
to
vote
for
incorporation.

Many
of
us
thought
the
county
was
not
listening
to
us.

We
wanted
to
have
control
over
our
own
land
use
planning.

After
incorporation,
we
made
a general
plan.

Poway's
General
Plan
"is
a statement
of
what
the
present
residents
want
for
their
community
in
the
future.

Its
function
is
to
allow
the
citizens
to
consciously
consider
the
shape
the
City
will
take
for
the
foreseeable
future
and
to
preserve
and
enhance
those
qualities
they
presently
find
so
appealing." The
first
goal
of
our
General
Plan
was,
(and
still
is)"
to
preserve
Poway's
unique
and
desirable
character
as
'The
City
in
the
Country'."
Our
motto
"the
City
in
the
Country"
featured
prominently
in
the
1991
General
Plan
Update.

Seven
meetings
were
held
in
1990
and
1991
to
get
public
input
on
the
General
Plan
and
to
further
clarify
the
residents'
vision
of
the
community's
future.

The
residents
who
attended
those
meetings
could
not
have
imagined
that
a
Poway
council
would
even
be
considering
something
like
the
Harmon
Ranch
Specific
Plan.

The
"City
in
the
Country"
theme
was
never
about
farmhouse
architecture.

It
was
about
openness,
adequate
space
for
raising
a family,
and
preserving
the
natural
environment,
not
about
packing
as
many
houses
as
possible
in
a flood
plain.

Last
year,
a former
council
member
spoke
about
how
proud
he
was
that
Poway
was
run
"like
a business"
He
also
said,
that
some
of
us
"are
not
all
that
important".
"You
might
think
you
are",
he
said,
"but
you're
not."
In
fact,
Poway
is
not
a business.

It
is
a government
of,
by
and
for
the
people.

All
of
our
voices
should
matter.

We
did
not
incorporate
and
do
the
hard
work
of
building
this
city
for
a council
to
roll
out
the
red
carpet
for
developers
and
tell
the
people
to
get
the
"hell
out
of
the
way".

This
council
has
a
big
decision
to
make
about
the
Harmon
Ranch
Specific
Plan.

We
hope
the
council
members
are
seeking
input
from
Poway
residents.

Over
500
residents
signed
a
petition
opposing
the the
Harmon
Ranch
Specific
Plan.

Almost
200
of
them
commented
about
why
they
oppose
this
project.

We
hope
that
all
of
you
will
take
the
time
to
read
their
names
and
comments
and
to
thin
I< about
what
they
have
to
say. Their
voices
are
important.

Thank

POWAY

COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN:

GENERAL
PLAN
incorporation
of
the
City
on
December
1,
1980
,
The
original
Comprehensive
Plan
was
an
extension
of
the
incorporation
movement.

Whereas
the
incorporation
movement
was
based
in
the
hopes
and
desires
fo
r
the
new
City
of
Poway
,
the
Comprehensive
Plan
addressed
aac
. of
those
issues
in
depth
and
made
recommendations
that
would
be
used
to
make
the
decisions
about
Poway's
future
.

In
November
1988,
the
voters
of
Powa.y
moved
to
further
lock
. Poway's
future
in
place
through adoption
of
Proposition
FF
which
requires
a
vote
of
the
people
before
any
changes
are
mad
.e
wh
ich
would
allow
additional
densi
y
or
intensification
of
use
in
the
rural
areas
of
the
community
.

The
1991
update
is
an
important
milestone
for
the
City
.

It
is
an
opportunity
to
reaffirm
for
the
future
that
original
vision
of
Poway
to
carry
on
the
successes
of
the
first
ten
years
of
cityhood
.

It
reflects
the
fact
that
the
community
has
now
traveled
ten
years
down
the
path
of
cityhood
,
but
at
the
same
time
still
seeks
to
be
a
guidebook
for
consistent
and
successful
municipal
development
aimed
at
the
same
vision
held
by
the
community
at
incorporation
.

THE
VISION
The
simple
phrase
"the
City
in
the
Country"
reflects
the
maj
,or
theme
of
Poway
since
its
incorporation
in
1980
. A
series
of
seven
meetings
,
held
during
late
1990
and
early
1991
to
get
public
INTR0-4
input
on
the
general
plan
and
to
further
clarify
the
residents'
vision
of
the
community's
future
,
resulted
in
the
following
description
of
the
"ideal
Poway··
:

It
would
be
a
community
of
open
space
reflected
in
the
constant
views
of
rocky,
chaparral-covered
hillsides
ring
ing
the
valley
fl.oar,
a
town
with
human-scale
development
where
people
know
each
other
and
where
their
voices
can
be
heard.

It
is
a
community
which
values
the
family,
education
and
the
natural
environment,
one
which
is
safe
"a
great
place
to
raise
a
family"
.

The
ideal
Poway
would
provide
good
recreational
and
cultural
facilities
and
have
housing
opportunities
for
all.

It
would
be
easy
to
get
around
in
and
would
have
attractive
places
to
shop.

THE
REGION
While
it is
the
City's
desire
to
maintain
the
highest
standards
for
its
residents,
Poway
cannot
exist
unto
itself.

Today
each
person
and
every
city
must
consider
itself
a
member
of
the
region
.

If
we
are
to
enhance
the
quality
of
life
within
our
boundaries,
we
must
participate
in
regional
programs
that
address
traffic
congestion,
air
pollution,
open
space
needs,
water
availabrlity,
sewage
reatrnent
,
trash
disposal
and
hazardous
waste
management.

Re: Proposed Harmon Ranch Development on Oak Knoll Road, Poway Dear Mayor Vaus and Poway City Council Members, City Manager Chris Hazeltine and Director of Development Services Bob Manis.

On November 9th 2023, Poway Voices initiated a petition on the Poway Voices Facebook page opposing the Harmon Ranch Specific Plan (HRSP), entitled; /Petition: Enforce the General Plan, hyperlink below. By way of reference the following table highlights some of the differences between the requirements of Poway's General Plan and the Specific Plan proposed by the developer, Lennar.

Comparison of Development Standards for property zoned RS-7 from Poway Draft Housing Element1 compared to Residential Standard (R-SF) proposed by Lennar2.

Poway General Plan HRSP Proposal
{RS-7) {R-SF)
Density (max. units per acre) 8 -
~40 homes3A 63 homes
Minimum lot size 4,500 sq. ft 3,470 sq. ft
Standard lot width 50 ft 42 ft
Lot depth 80 ft 85 ft
Front yard setback 18 ft 10-15 ft
Side yard setback (each side) 5/5 ft 5 ft
Side yard setback (street side) 10 ft 5 ft
Rear yard setback 20 ft 15 ft or 5 ft (with CA room)
Maximum lot overage 50% 55%
Maximum buildinq heiqht 35 ft 35 ft
Table 1
Under the GP street widths are typically 36 ft with sidewalks on both sides of the street.

In the HRSP roads are proposed to be 24 ft and 32 ft depending on location with sidewalks only on one side.

For reference, Figure 1, overleaf, shows the HRSP map in relation to the adjacent housing which is currently zoned RS-7, demonstrating the smaller lots of the HRSP and the narrower streets. The housing highlighted was part of TTM 01-01 (APN: 317-501-09 and 1 Residential Development Standards from City of Poway, Draft Housing Element, January 2024, Table

3.3 2 Residential Development Standard (R-SF) proposed by Lennar. Lennar's analysis is shown in Figure 1. 3 Calculation based on buildable land under the General Plan (RS-7) 4 Using Lennar's information from their scoping meeting (2/26/23) there are 5.8 buildable acres which would imply 46 houses, under RS-7. They also state 64 houses on 7.27 acres. 96 of 111

The petition to-date has received 530 signatures, with comments worth noting since they represent the concerns of Poway residents. Summarizing the written responses and categories, the key concerns are:
• No affordable housing is proposed
• Negative impact (traffic, parking, infrastructure)
• Other (primarily criticism of city council)
• Stay with the General Plan
No comments supported the HRSP
Overall, the public are concerned about the Special Plan negatively effecting the lives of Poway residents and their quality of life, particularly those living close to Poway Road.

The comments also offer a sobering view of our city council and mayor which, rightly or wrongly, are seen as friends of developers and not their constituents. 5https://docs.poway.org/Weblink/DocView.aspx?id=68050&page=1 &dbid=0&repo=CityofPoway&searchid =6b0c1ebb-874f-4fe0-b9b5-b41 f90b628fb&cr=1
97 of 111
April 2, 2024, Item #9
One final concern is that should the city proceed with the HRSP, it will set a precedent for future developments proposed by Lennar and other developers and consequently have a long-term negative impact on the quality of life of city residents.

In summary, we (and 530 petitio,ners) reinforce the request that Poway City Council and City Development Services enforce the General Plan with respect to Harmon Ranch and this should remain the guiding principle for all development and approval processes within the city of Poway.

Sincerely,
Nick Carruthers, Chris Cruse, Jana Johnson, Torrey Powers, Alison Park, and Eric Weller Link to petition:

• Too dense (proximity of the houses)
• Lots too small
• Not the "City in the Country"

5) Human Remains: If human remains are encountered during grading, Califomia Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 states that no further disturbance shall occur until the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office has made the necessary findings as to origin. The City of Poway, the TCA Native American Monitor, and the applicant shall be immediately notified of the discovery of any possible human remains. Further, pursuant to Califomia Public Resources Code Section 5097.98(b), remains shall be left in place and free from disturbance until a final decision as to their treaiment and disposition has been made. If the medical examiner detenmines that the remains are of Native American origin, the NAHC must be contacted within 24 hours. The NAHC must then immediately identify the Most Likely Descendant(s) (MLD) for purposes of receiving notification of discovery. The MLD shall then make recommendations within 48 hours and engage in consultation concerning the treatment of the remains as provided in Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. The TCA Native American Monitor for grading will not necessarily be named as the MLD, and therefore, cannot provide direction until the MLD is detenmined. 6) All cultural material collected during the grading monitoring program shall be cataloged, analyzed, and subsequenUy curated according to the current professional laboratory and repository standards. The collections and associated records shall be transferred, including tiUe, to an appropriate curation facility, to be accompanied by payment of the fees necessary for penmanent curation. 7) A report documenting the monitoring program, any field investigations, and results of any data recovery programs or site evaluations shall be completed and submilted to the satisfaction of the Lead Agency prior lo the issuance of any building penmits. The report will include DPR Primary and Archaeological Site Fonms.

The area of discovery will be roped off with a 50-fool radius buffer. Once documentation and collection of the find is completed, the monitor will remove the rope and allow grading to recommence in the area of the find. Any significant paleontological resources recovered from the Project site during construction of the Project shall be stabilized, prepared, cataloged, and identified to the lowest taxonomic level prior to curation at an accredited fossil repository with retrievable storage, such as the San Diego Natural History Museum. 1) A quafified paleontologist or a paleontological monitor under the direction and supervision of a qualified paleontologist, shall be on site during original cutting of the Pleistocene terrace deposits and the middle Eocene Friars Fonmation.
