Chapter Three

LAND USE & REGULATIONS

3.0 Introduction
Land uses are organized to optimize compatibility with the existing single-family homes and maintain the scenic character of the StoneRidge neighborhood.

Residential lots of similar size are clustered within the site and separated by large open space areas to define new neighborhoods and maintain view corridors through the Specific Plan area. A landscape open space easement along Espola Road is accompanied by adjacent permanent open space areas, landscaping, and a meandering trail to preserve the scenic qualities of the roadway corridor.

Large open spaces may be planted with crops, flowers, orchards, or similar agriculture adjacent or may be planted with naturalized vegetation to support the rural design theme. Finally, large setback requirements, performance standards, and other development regulations for certain agricultural, social, recreational, and educational uses within open space areas are designed to protect the privacy and quality of life for existing residents.

Exhibit 3.1: Land Use Plan

3.2 Open Space Land Use Regulations
Two Open Space land use districts support the development of the rural master planned community envisioned by the Specific Plan and include the following purpose and intent:
• Open Space – Conservation (OS-C) is designed to permanently preserve the open space amenities that provide the rural setting for the existing neighborhood and a new residential master planned community. These open space areas serve as a physical and visual buffer between existing residential uses and new residential development, maintaining neighbor’s privacy and providing the visual backdrop for the new community. Parcels designated as OS-C may be planted with landscaping, agriculture or naturalized open space areas.
• The Open Space – Recreation (OS-R) is intended to replace the recreational amenities once provided by the golf course to support new and existing residential uses within and around the Specific Plan area. Recreational amenities include social, recreational, and educational uses that support healthy and active lifestyles, promote lifelong learning and community education, and encourage ecological stewardship.

Parcels designated as OS-C and OS-R shall be deed-restricted to ensure that future development is restricted to that specified in the Open Space Land Use Regulations
in perpetuity.

3.2.1 Permissible Open Space Uses
Permissible uses within the open space land use districts are listed in Table 3.2:

MOBILITY

4.0 Mobility Plan
Specific Plan Mobility focuses on maintaining a rural character for the community, promoting active lifestyles, and offering alternatives to vehicle use that are safe, efficient, convenient, and enjoyable. To this end, the Mobility Plan provides a series of Complete Streets and a comprehensive multi-use trail system that accommodates multiple users including motor vehicles, alternative vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclist, equestrians, and tractors. This multi-modal system has the added benefit of reducing environmental impacts and creating a healthier community. Objectives of the Mobility Plan include the following:

1. Ensure roadway and trail design responds to the desired character of the community.

2. Optimize multiple travel modes and accommodate the needs of all users in a safe, accessible, and convenient manner.

3. Improve bicycle infrastructure through implementation of sharrows and a multi- use trail system.

4. Improve walkability by shortening distances between pedestrian 60 of 119

crossings, including crossings mid-block, and providing well-marked crosswalks, wayfinding signage, and lighting.

5. Enhance landscaping along sidewalks and trails to provide pedestrian scale, shade, and texture for comfort and appeal. Utilize irregular tree and shrub spacing to impart a rural atmosphere with street trees.

6. Coordinate signal timing, with approval of the Director of Development Services, at Espola Road and Martincoit Road to synchronize traffic movement, manage vehicle speed.

7. Work with the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) to improve and replace the existing stop at Espola Road and Martincoit Road and adjust schedules, if needed, to meet the demands of new and existing riders.

4.1 Roadway Classifications
Roadways within the Specific Plan area are designed as Complete Streets that accommodate automobiles, bicycles, pedestrians, and equestrians. All private streets within the Specific Plan area can also accommodate tractors, low-speed vehicles (LSVs), and neighborhood electric vehicles. Complete Streets are designed and operated to provide safe and efficient access for all modes of travel in accordance with the California’s Complete Streets Act of 2008 (AB 1358). The Complete Streets Act was intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by providing alternatives to vehicle use that can potentially reduce vehicle miles traveled and encourage shorter trips in automobiles, optimize land use planning and transportation infrastructure more efficiently, and promote public health by encouraging physical activity. Complete streets also take into consideration the range of ages and abilities of potential users including children, seniors, and people with disabilities by providing additional facilities such as benches, shelters, and similar amenities.

Exhibit 4.1: Street Network Diagram illustrates the roadways that directly serve the Specific Plan area. Roadways include one existing collector road, Espola Road, existing residential streets St. Andrews Drive and Boca Raton Lane, and a series of proposed private streets, Motor Courts, and common parking areas.

The project roadway design focuses on promoting walking and bicycling as the preferred modes of travel by designing low-speed streets that can be shared between automobiles, bicycles, and LSVs. Low speed streets also support pedestrian comfort and walkability. The roadway system is also designed to discourage cut-through automobile traffic and minimize additional traffic on surrounding residential streets. Sidewalks are provided on one-side of all private streets.

Exhibit 4.1: Street Network Diagram

4.1.1 Espola Road
The Farm in Poway is located along the northerly edge of Espola Road between Valle Verde Road and Cloudcroft Drive. Espola Road is designated as a four-lane Collector Road that provides direct access to Interstate 15 (I-15), west of the Specific Plan area. East of the Specific Plan area, Espola Road turns south and terminates at its intersection with Poway Road, providing access to southerly portions of the City.

Along the Specific Plan area’s frontage, Espola Road currently consists of the following:
• West of Martincoit - 100-foot wide right-of-way with two westbound lanes, two east bound lane, a two-way center turn lane, and a shoulder on each side.
• East of Martincoit Road- 80-foot right-of-way with two westbound lanes, one east bound lane, a two-way center turn lane, and a shoulder on each side.
• At Martincoit Road - A three-way signalized intersection with an eastbound turn pocket.

This existing condition includes shoulders on both sides. The right-of-way will be widened by three feet on the north side to accommodate bike lanes. Martincoit and Espola Road will also be improved to add a four-way intersection, which will serve as the Primary Entry into The Farm in Poway, as illustrated in Exhibit 4.2:

Espola Road. Approaching the intersection to the Primary Entry, the two-way turn lane will be restriped to transitions into a painted left turn lane. A five-foot landscaped parkway strip, a six-foot wide concrete sidewalk and a nine-foot wide meandering community trail will also be constructed on the north side of the Espola Road right-of-way along the project’s frontage. Overhead utilities fronting the project along Espola Road will be placed underground.

The City of Poway General Plan designates Espola Road as a scenic roadway, which is subject to special design requirements. The General Plan’s Scenic Road Concept seeks to “…preserve, enhance, and showcase the community’s rural history and image.” According to the General Plan, Espola Road typifies the 63 of 119

City’s rural image and has several long-range vistas of Mt. Woodson and Iron Mountain. To maintain the rural and scenic qualities of this roadway, the General Plan requires an open space easement of 50 feet from the ultimate right-of- way.

Structures are prohibited within this easement.

The open space easement will also include the nine-foot wide meandering decomposed granite trail surrounded by rural and agricultural-themed landscaping that not only supports the City’s rural character but supports the farm-to-table vision for the Specific Plan area. Adjacent residential development has also been clustered to preserve visual open space corridors through the site.

Adjacent residential homes, located beyond the scenic setback, are required to provide enhanced elevations (See Chapter 6: Architectural Design) facing Espola Road and will be screened by an informal pattern of trees and shrubs. Walls enclosing the rear yards facing Espola Road will consist of a masonry and glass view wall, as described in Section 5.5, to provide noise attenuation while still allowing views and minimizing the visual impact of walls along Espola Road.

4.1.5 St. Andrews Drive, Tam O’Shanter Drive, and Boca Raton Lane
New residential lots are proposed to front on portions of St. Andrews Drive and Boca Raton Lane. Because these streets were originally developed to their full 60-foot right-of-way width, no new street improvements are proposed, except new curb and gutter. These two streets provide one 12-foot travel lane in each direction and on-street parking on both sides of the street, but no sidewalks. The new residences will continue this development pattern. Two Secondary access points area also provided from Tam O’Shanter Drive and Boca Raton Lane. Both access points will consist of three-way intersections with stop signs only at the entry points out of the Specific Plan area.

4.1.6 Internal Roadways (Private Streets)
Private streets are intentionally designed
as low-speed streets to encourage
slower speeds and promote pedestrian
and bicyclist mobility. Sidewalk is
provided on one- side of every private
street. Travel lane widths are the
minimum 24 feet required for fire access
and curved alignments create physical
conditions that reduce driver comfort and
force them to slow down. Curb
extensions, also known as bulb-outs, are
provided at key intersections to reduce
crossing lengths for pedestrians, improve
the visibility of pedestrians attempting to
cross, and provide locations for street
trees. Low speeds also allow these private streets to be shared with low speed vehicles, bicycles, and tractors. The internal roadway system consists of two types of private streets, private streets with parking and private streets without parking. Private streets are required to provide a public access easement.

Crosswalks shall consist of stained and stamped concrete or asphalt concrete with decorative scoring, or similar decorative treatment and shall be a minimum of eight feet wide.

4.2 Trails
A multi-use trail system, as illustrated in Exhibit 4.7: Trail Network Diagram, is designed into the community to optimize pedestrian and bicycle mobility and provide recreational opportunities. The majority of this trail system includes decomposed granite or compacted earth trails as illustrated in Exhibit 4.8: Multi- Use Nature Trail. Natural paving and peeler pole and rail fencing enhance the rural atmosphere of the community. These natural trails will accommodate equestrian, mountain bikers, and hikers. Access trails connect to sidewalks along private streets, utility easements, and along existing adjacent residential streets to maximize access and connectivity and promote walking and hiking. All trails will be open to the public. Additional amenities will include trail respite rest stops, seating along the multi-use trail, and a bike repair station. The bike station will be located at The Club parking lot to provide water, air, and basic tools for bike repair. Benches, restrooms, and a drinking fountain or water bottle fill station will also be provided at the Event Barn. Peeler pole trail fencing will be used along the Espola Road trail and along interior trails where steep downhill slopes are adjacent to the trail.

The section of multi-use trail along Espola Road, as illustrated in Exhibit 4.9:

Espola Trail, will consist of a nine-foot meandering DG trail and a six-foot contiguous concrete sidewalk that will replace the existing sidewalk along the north side of Espola Road. The Espola Road trail will connect to the Multi-Use nature trail and existing sidewalks on the southeast and southwest corners of the Specific Plan area. This trail also provides access to the existing transit stops located on Espola Road at Martincoit Road, Cloudcroft Drive and Valle Verde Road.

In addition to the dedicated multi-use trails, a natural surface maintenance access road will be provided through nearly the entire length of the SDCWA easement, as illustrated in Exhibit 4.10: SDCWA Access Road . The access road will be designed to H20 load rating and gates will be provided at road connections to prevent non-SDCWA vehicular access. Where the multi -use trail and the access road share alignment, the trail will be reduced in width to five f eet and will be separated from the access road with bollards, as illustrated in Exhibit 4.11:

4.3 Pedestrian Experience
Exhibit 4.7: Trail Network Diagram in Section 4.2, highlights the variety of pedestrian routes and connections provided by the Mobility Plan. In addition to sidewalks and trails described in previous sections, the Specific Plan requires traffic calming measures to promote pedestrian mobility and comfort and encourage walking as a preferred mode of travel. Crosswalks will be provided throughout the Specific Plan area in locations where trails and sidewalks meet vehicular traffic. These nodes require special design to ensure that vehicles are aware that pedestrians may be present. Crosswalk improvements will include enhanced paving treatments that make crossings more visible. Where feasible, curb extensions, also known as bulb outs, may be provided. A conceptual crosswalk design that includes bulb-outs and enhanced design treatments is provided as Exhibit 4.12: Conceptual Pedestrian Crossing.

Crosswalks at Espola Road and Martincoit Road, Espola Road and Valle Verde Road, and Valle Verde Road and St. Andrews Drive provides pedestrian access to adjacent neighborhoods. Special mobility features will be provided including enhanced crosswalk paving for high visibility, ADA complaint curb ramps, pedestrian signals with countdown timers, leading pedestrian interval timing, bicycle signal detection, and smart adaptative signals that can adjust signal phasing and extend pedestrian walk times based upon time of day. All phasing and timing must be approved by the Director of Development Services. In addition, the construction of missing segments of sidewalk and improvements to existing off-site sidewalks on Martincoit Road and Valley Verde Road will improve pedestrian connectivity and mobility.

4.4 Bicycle Experience
Exhibit 4.7: Trail Network Diagram
highlights the variety of bicycle routes
and connections provided by the
Mobility Plan. The proposed multi-
use trails described in Section 4.2 will
be shared between equestrians,
bicycles, and pedestrians. Private
streets are also designed to allow for
bicycles and vehicles to share the
road. Low traffic volumes, low-speed
designs, and traffic calming
measures are provided, making
shared use of vehicles and bicycles
appropriate. Signage or “Shared
Roadway Markings” will also be
provided to indicate that bicycle use is permitted and vehicles are required to share the roadway.

Amenities that support bicycling in the Specific Plan area include required bicycle parking throughout the Specific Plan area (See Chapter 3), trail respite rest stops, seating along the multi-use trail, and a bike repair station. The bike station will be located at The Club parking lot to provide water, air, and basic tools for bike repair. Benches, restrooms, bike racks, and a drinking fountain or water bottle fill station will also be provided at the Event Barn.

Improvements at the intersection of Espola Road/Martincoit Road and Espola Road/Valle Verde Road also include high visibility crosswalks and bicycle signal detection. Bike treatments at intersections should be coordinated with the City of Poway.

4.5 Alternative Vehicles
The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) permits the use of Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs) and Low Speed Vehicles (LSVs) on roadways posted with a speed limit of 35 miles per hour (MPH). NEVs and LSVs are permitted to cross at intersections that have a speed limit above 35 mph if 78 of 119

4-20 The Farm in Poway Specific Plan, June 16, 2020
the crossing begins and ends on a road 35 mph or less. NEVs and LSVs look similar to golf carts but are required to meet certain DMV requirements and require a valid California Driver’s License, registration, and insurance. NEVs and LSVs are permitted on all private streets within the Specific Plan area.

NEVs and LSVs provide an alternative to standard automobiles and bicycles.

These types of low-speed vehicles are more compact, making them easier to park and maneuver within small spaces. NEVs are all electric and offer the most environmentally friendly alternative; however, all LSVs are environmentally superior to a standard automobile due to their low speeds and fuel efficiency.

Use of such vehicles for shorter trips also promotes increased efficiency for other modes of travel including walking and biking since these vehicles take up less space on the road and are typically designed not to exceed 25 miles per hour.

4.6 Transit
Transit services within the City of
Poway and throughout the central and
south parts of the County are provided
by the Metropolitan Transit System
(MTS). Transit service to the Specific
Plan area is provided via Route 945A,
also known as the “Poway Loop.” The
nearest stop is located at the
northwest corner of Espola Road and
Martincoit Road, where primary
access to the Specific Plan area will
be provided. Improvements to this
transit stop will include a new pad,
bench, and trash receptacle.

Poway Loop Route 945A provides two early morning and two afternoon buses to access important destinations along Pomerado Road, Poway Road, and Espola Road including downtown Poway, Poway High School, Lake Poway and the Blue Sky Ecological Reserve. The bus route is designed primarily for access to the high school, middle school and private schools on the route. However, the Poway Loop also connects to Route 945 which operates between Old Poway and the Rancho Bernardo Transit Station, and Route 944 which provides service between Old Poway and the Sabre Springs/Peñasquitos Transit Station. Both transit stations offer express bus service to Downtown San Diego and the Escondido Transit Center via the I-15 corridor as well as parking and van pool connections.

OPEN SPACE & COMMUNITY DESIGN

5.0 Community Theme
The community design theme for The Farm in Poway reflects Poway’s rural “City in the Country” history while incorporating contemporary “agrihood” design and planning themes. Beyond rural aesthetics, The Farm in Poway incorporates a working farm, edible landscapes, community gardens, butterfly gardens, multi- use trails, the event and education center, swim and tennis center, and other amenities into a vibrant, active residential community. Portions of the site offer spectacular views of Poway and the surrounding mountains and open space.

5.1 Community Design Framework Plan
The community is organized by a series of experiences including the following organizational elements:

• Espola Road Scenic Corridor
• Primary Community Entry
• Event Barn, The Social, and Education Center
• Residential Clusters
• The Club
• The Meadow and Dog Park
• Conservation Open Space, which includes Agrifields, Community and Specialty gardens, trails, and other amenities

Exhibit 5.1 Community Design Framework Plan depicts The Farm in Poway’s organization and landscape themes, its entries, connections to the surrounding communities, general land uses, open spaces, amenities, natural features, and scenic vistas. This exhibit illustrates one possible design solution. However, this may be modified over time to incorporate City and community comments and in response to community preferences.

5.1.1 Espola Road Scenic Corridor
As previously described in Chapter 4:

Mobility, the City of Poway designated
Espola Road as a scenic roadway with a
50-foot structural setback requirement in
order to “…preserve, enhance and
showcase the community’s rural history
and image.”. This 50-foot buffer is
utilized to buffer the residential
development and provide room for a
naturalistic style of landscaping. Large
scale trees and screening shrubs will be
arranged in an informal manner and the
Espola Trail will meander within the
setback.

5.1.2 Primary Community Entry
The primary entry to the Specific Plan area is from Espola Road at the Martincoit Road intersection as depicted in Exhibit 5.2: Primary Community Entry.

Flanking the entry road Street “A” are two gateway structures consisting of a vertical board and batten element that reflects shapes and materials from the Event Barn and a board and batten sign panel on a rustic stone base and pilaster. The west gateway includes the project identification signage and the east gateway features only the project logo. The gateways are set back 70 feet from Espola Road, located just beyond the open space easement, to provide adequate clearance from Espola Trail and sufficient room for accent landscaping.

Fencing extends from the gateway structure pilaster to the east and west boundary lines, paralleling Espola Road. An enhanced crosswalk for Espola Trail completes the entry before the gateways.

Beyond the gateways, matching three-foot high stone garden walls curve towards the roadway. The west wall is a low retaining planter wall. The east wall is topped with sound attenuating glass to shield the Event Lawn from road noise while allowing views of the Event Barn and Social. An informal, theme- inspired landscape completes the entry statement.

5.1.3 Event Barn, The Social, and Education Center
While set back from Espola Road the Event Barn and Educational Center provide a series of iconic structural first statements for the community. The Event Barn provides indoor and outdoor spaces for social, educational and entertainment events such as receptions, parties, seminars, and small concerts.

A stacked stone and glass sound wall separates the public Espola Road streetscape from the private event space of the Event Barn. Informal clusters of trees soften the architecture and tie the structures to the new and existing community. The Event Center also allows for a café or restaurant, referred to as The Social, that is open to the public and shares an outdoor patio with the Event Barn. It is anticipated that The Social can provide catering for receptions and parties with outdoor spaces for gathering and music.

Design Guidelines for these buildings are provided in Chapter 6 and a conceptual elevation of the Event Barn is provided below.

Conceptual Rendering of the Event Barn

The Education Center provides a venue for non-profit organizations to deliver community education to schools and the general public through tours and classes, a nursery and/or greenhouse for pollinator and native plants, a butterfly conservatory, and similar uses that promote conservation, awareness, and ecologically sensitive lifestyles. Buildings associated with the Education Center should also conform to the Architectural Design Guidelines provided in Chapter

5.1.4 Residential Clusters
Homes within The Farm in Poway are similar in size and scale to the existing adjacent homes and fit well into the existing community character and density.

Unlike many new residential developments, however, The Farm in Poway clusters home sites to create small enclaves separated by large expanses of agricultural open space and common amenity areas. Lot sizes and configurations are creatively designed to provide a diverse mix of housing types and sizes. This variety in housing types makes homeownership attainable and desirable to a wider range of household types, lifestyles, and incomes while ensuring a visually diverse streetscape and community.

The clustering of residential lots is deliberately designed to maintain a spacious feel throughout the community by providing a minimum 50 to 100-foot separation between existing homes and new homes within the Specific Plan. These ample setbacks maintain a sense of openness, respect the privacy and lifestyle of existing residents, and support an agrarian character. In addition, development standards limit the size of second floors in relationship to the size of the first floor to reduce massing and create a predominantly single-story experience along the street. Many homes are sited on single-loaded streets to provide expansive views and maintain a feeling of being in the country. Each housing type is described in greater detail in Chapter 3. In addition, architectural design guidelines provided in Chapter 6 identify acceptable architectural styles, materials, massing, and more that ensure residential development is consistent with the existing neighborhood and supports the agrarian design theme.

5.2 Parkland Requirements
Parks, trails, and recreational facilities play a key role in supporting the vision for The Farm in Poway by offering opportunities to be active and interact with family and the community. In accordance with the PMC, “A ratio of five park acres to 1,000 population, in accordance with the adopted park and recreation element of the City’s general plan shall be used to compute the amount of land to be dedicated.” Based on Poway’s average household size from the 2010 Census, The Department of Finance estimates that Poway’s household size in 2019 is approximately 3.12 persons per household (E-5 estimates dated 1/1/2019).

Table 5.2: Park Land Requirement illustrates how the total number of park space required is calculated, resulting in a total of approximately 2.5 acres.

Park requirements within the Specific Plan area are fulfilled by the multitude of recreational amenities provided in both the Recreational Open Space and Conservation Open Space. Although these amenities are privately owned and maintained, the PMC allows 50 percent of private recreation facilities to be counted towards the required amount of park acreage (Credit Acreage).

The Farm in Poway Specific Plan, June 16, 2020 5-19

5.3 Landscaping and Plant Palettes
In support of a consistent community theme and
reinforcement of the rural character of the area, the
following plant palette provides a unified list of trees, shrubs, succulents, and ground covers for use in
public or publicly viewable spaces. Refer to Exhibit

5.4. Landscape Concept Plan, and the following
Landscape Palettes for a detailed listing of proposed
plants. The Landscape Palettes may be modified
with the approval of both the Director of
Development Services and the Fire Chief.

Street trees are the backbone of the landscape.

Street trees are arranged in pairs, an evergreen and
a deciduous tree, and placed in an informal pattern
by street or section of street to develop a theme for
specific areas. Thematic landscape is a somewhat refined palette of ornamental and native plants that require a little more water, a little more care, but are emblematic of a rural landscape with year- round appeal.

The open space plant palette consists of numerous native and some adaptive plants that require little water or maintenance and provide an attractive backdrop consistent with the project’s rural theme. Slopes are planted primarily with deep rooting, wide spreading shrubs and ground covers with some trees to protect the slopes from erosion. Non-slope areas are planted with an informal mix of trees, shrubs, ground covers, grasses and accents to create spaces, frame views and provide shade and a place of rest along the trails.

The basin landscape consists of two separate palettes – the basin bottom and slopes. The basin bottom palette consists primarily of grasses, perennials and forbs that adapt to periodic inundation. They help remove silt, debris and toxins from the urban runoff that is directed through the basin before the water is sent downstream through the existing storm drain system. The slope palette consists of two components – a lower slope palette of shrubs, grasses and perennials that adapt to short periods of inundation and an upper slope palette of riparian-type slope erosion control plants.

Note that this plant list, except for plants utilized for agricultural purposes, is 98 of 119

5.4 Street Furniture and Lighting
Street furniture helps set the community theme, provides locations for rest and reflection, and encourages walking and other recreational activities. In keeping with the community architectural style, site furnishings are modern renditions of classic designs. Benches are a clean, modern take on the classic park bench.

Tables include simple plank style tops and seats that are attractive and rugged.

Trash and recycle receptacles will match the benches and tables.

Modern renditions of classic designs also include site
lighting utilizing modern LED and light shielding
technology to illuminate the streets. The modern
lighting technology will promote dark skies while
providing the illumination for safety. Please refer to
Exhibit 5.5. Conceptual Lighting Plan.

5.5 Wall and Fence Design
Walls and fencing provide safety, privacy and contribute to the community style and theme. Refer to Exhibit 5.6: Wall and Fencing Concept Plan for proposed wall and fence locations. At The Farm in Poway, walls are slump block masonry with a light plaster finish. Decorative caps and pilasters provide a rustic elegance for the walls and narrow planters at the wall base allow for ornamental planting to soften the walls. Where parking lots are located near residences, masonry walls block the noise and light generated in the parking lot. Masonry back and side yard fencing is also recommended for residences adjacent to primary streets.

Combination masonry and glass view walls provide noise attenuation while allowing distant views.

Masonry Wall Masonry and Glass View Wall

Where higher elevation lots can take advantage of the spectacular views, tubular steel or wrought iron view fencing provides security while allowing open views of the distant landscape. Wood privacy fencing has a classic look that complements the rustic country feel of the community. Where wood fences are located in a high fire area or within five feet of a structure, the wood fencing will be constructed with fire resistive treated lumber. 110 of 119

Peeler pole fencing is rustic, durable, and keeps pedestrians, bicyclists and equestrians on developed trails and out of sensitive or unsafe areas. Peeler pole fencing is used along trails and in open space areas where fencing is necessary for fall protection and parallel to Espola Road.

Stacked stone walls provide a rustic screening or sound wall that separate public event areas from streets and are also used as thematic devices to tie disparate parts of the planning area together.

Peeler Pole Fence Stacked Stone Wall

5.6 Parking Lot Design
Proper parking lot design provides safe and
accessible parking for vehicles, clear paths for
pedestrians, shade to minimize heat island
effects, and screening to reduce visual clutter.

Parking lots have a minimum of ten percent of
the parking lot landscaped and designed in
accordance with Section 3.5 for Parking
Regulations and Section 3.6 for Landscaping
Regulations. Where appropriate some smaller
lots may be paved with decomposed granite,
provided the aisles are paved. Permeable pavers may also be utilized.

Members of the City Council
Steve Vaus, Mayor
Opposition to Sexually Violent Predator (SVP) Placement in Poway San Diego Superior Court is considering the conditional release of a Sexually Violent Predator (SVP), Merle Wakefield. The Department of State Hospitals (DSH) has recommended the placement of Wakefield at 15720 Sycamore Canyon Road, Poway CA 92064. Wakefield has been arrested for rape six times - one victim was ten years old, another fifteen years old. He has been arrested 14 times for violent crimes - burglary, robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, kidnapping and more. Tragically, each time after serving out his sentence he reoffended.

According to a prison psychiatrist, "Mr. Wakefield is the textbook definition of a repeat offende r," and that he "is a danger to himself and to society." Mult iple psychiatric evaluations diagnosed him wit h "personal ity disorder , and uncontrollable impulses." The State Parole Board in 1996 found him to be "A walking threat to all women. "
Poway Is no place for such a dangerous individual.

The home at 15720 Sycamore Canyon is well under 1,000' from tw0 horseback riding facilities primarily frequented by women and girls of all ages. One horse park includes a therapeutic riding school for those with disabilities. Also in close prox imity is an elementary school and a neighborhood park. In fact, it is impossib le to get to or leave the Sycamore Canyon address without passing with in 25' of the elementary school and park. Of note, the terms and conditions of the Conditional Release Program prohibit travel ing past and/or entering any area which is within one-hundred yards of such facilities without the written permission of the Program Director.

A Placement Hearing date is scheduled on August 9 at 9:00am at San Diego Superior Court, Department 1704 located at 1100 Union Street, San Diego, CA 92101 as referenced in the Press Release (attachment A). Included in the Press Release attachment is information on providing public comment. I plan to be present to strongly state our opposition to the placement of this SVP in our community.

Recommended Action:

I am vehemently opposed to the Sexually Violent Predator (SVP) placement in or near Poway and ask 1 of 5
for Council members' concurrence to formally submit a letter on behalf of the City in opposition to the Wakefield placement at 15720 Sycamore Canyon in Poway.
