CITY COUNCIL
Resolution Declaring the Property at 16943 Valle Verde Road Constitutes a "Public Nuisance" and Ordering the Property Owner to Abate the Violation This hearing is being held pursuant to Chapter 8.72 of the Poway Municipal Code (PMC) for the purpose of determining whether the trash, junk, miscellaneous debris, weeds, inoperable vehicle, and physical condition of the residence (e.g., missing wall covered by plywood) located on the property at 16943 Valle Verde Road (APN 273-171-05) should be declared a "public nuisance" and whether the property owner should be ordered to correct these violations. The owner of the property is the Zam bus Family Trust. The property appears to be vacant and has been vacant for years as evidenced by the level of disrepair. Should the City Council order that these violations be removed, and if the property owner fails to do so in the time allotted, then the City will complete the work and record either a lien or special assessment against the property for all costs and fees associated with securing compliance with the applicable codes.

Recommended Action:

It is recommended the City Council adopt the proposed Resolution (Attachment A) finding the conditions on the property constitute a public nuisance and declaring that City abate the nuisance if the property owner fails to address the issues in a timely manner.

Discussion:

The City originally started receiving complaints about construction and installation of fencing/wall and sidewalk in the public right-of-way at 16943 Valle Verde Road in 2012. Attachment B is the aerial/site location map. After attempts to resolve the matter with the property owner failed, the City issued Notices of Violations, a Notice and Order to Abate, and three Administrative Citations to the property 1 of 35
November 18, 2025, Item #8
owner
from
2012
to
2014.

In
June
2015,
the
City
recorded
a
Notice
of
Violation
and
Notice
of
Code
Enforcement
Lien
against
the
property
regarding
the
encroachments
into
the
right
of
way.

In
February
2016,
the
City
received
a complaint
regarding
a
dilapidated
fence
that
was
located
on
the
property.

The
City
issued
the
owner
a
Courtesy
Notice
and
a
Notice
of
Violation;
in
response,
the
property
owner
repaired
the
fence
and
the
case
was
closed.

However,
in
February
2017,
a new
code
compliance
case
was
opened
for
a similar
violation
relating
to
the
dilapidated
fence
and
accumulation
of
construction
materials
in
public
view.

The
City
issued
the
property
owner
two
Notices
of
Violation,
a
Notice
and
Order
to
Abate,
and
four
Administrative
Citations
between
February
2017
and
August
2017
in
an
effort
to
address
these
issues.

On
February
27,
2018,
the
City
Attorney's
Office
sent
the
owner
a
Notice
of
Violation
citing
the
outstanding
violations,
demanding
that
the
owner
correct
the
violations
in
a
timely
manner,
and
providing
the
owner
a
notice
to
appear
before
the
Poway
City
Council
at
the
April
3,
2018
City
Council
meeting
where
the
City
Council
would
consider
whether
to
declare
the
property
a
public
nuisance.

At
its
April
3,
2018,
meeting,
the
City
Council
declared
the
property
a
public
nuisance
and
authorized
the
City Attorney
and
staff
to
take
action
to
abate
that
nuisance.

An
abatement
warrant
was
issued
on
June
21,
2018,
and
was
executed
on
June
28,
2018.

The
broken
fence
and
other
junk
(including
construction
materials)
was
removed.

Costs
of
doing
so,
including
legal
costs,
was
confirmed
by
the
City
Council
in
August
2018
and
placed
as
a
special
assessment
on
the
property,
which
is
paid
through
the
owner's
property
tax
bill.

In
January
2025,
the
City
received
another
complaint
regarding
this
property,
and
opened
a new
code
compliance
case.

The
City
subsequently
issued
a
courtesy
notice,
followed
by
several
notices
of
violation
and
administration
citations
(Attachment
C).

While
initial
contact
was
made
with
a
representative
of
the
owner,
the
City
has
been
unable
to
contact
anyone
for
months.

On
October
16,
2025,
the
City
Attorney's
office
sent
the
owner
an
additional
Notice
of
Violation
and
final
notice
to
abate
the
property
(Attachment
D).

No
action
was
taken
in
response
to
this
final
notice.

If
the
City
Council
finds
that
the
conditions
on
the
property
constitute
a
public
nuisance,
the
City
will,
after
the
City
both
provides
the
owner
the
required
legal
notice
and
secures
an
inspection
and
abatement
warrant,
abate
the
violations
by
removing
all
the
trash,
junk,
miscellaneous
debris,
weeds,
and
inoperable
vehicles.

Recent
photos
of
the
property
are
included
as
Attachment
E to
assist
in
this
determination.

The
inspection
warrant
would
also
permit
the
City
to
inspect
the
physical
structure/residence
and
determine
if
additional
action
needs
to
be
taken
to
abate
the
substandard
condition
thereof.

All
costs
of
the
abatement
will
be
kept
and
itemized
and,
if
the
owner
refuses
or
fails
to
timely
reimburse
the
City
for
such
expenses,
staff
will
return
to
the
City
Council
to
confirm
the
costs
and
then
lien
the
property
for
the
same.

Environmental
Review:

This
item
is
not
a
"Project"
pursuant
to
the
California

WHEREAS, City personnel have also observed a violation of section 15.04.010 of the Poway Municipal Code based on the general disrepair of the residence located on the property, to the extent it can be viewed from the public right of way; WHEREAS, the City has made multiple attempts to obtain voluntary compliance from the Property owners, including by contacting their representatives multiple times, issuing courtesy notices, Notices of Violations, Notices and Orders to Abate Nuisance, and administrative citations; WHEREAS, the Property owner has been non-responsive to the City's efforts to informally resolve this matter;
WHEREAS, Section 8.72.020 of the Poway Municipal Code defines a nuisance as follows:

A "nuisance" includes but is not limited to the violation of any ordinance, resolution, regulation or policy adopted by the City Council, as defined within any such ordinance, resolution, regulation or policy, or any condition within the City found to be a potential threat to the general health, safety and welfare of the public.

WHEREAS, California Civil Code section 3480 provides that "[a] public nuisance is one which affects at the same time an entire community or neighborhood, or any considerable number of persons, although the extent of the annoyance or damage inflicted upon individuals may be unequal";
WHEREAS, California Health & Safety Code section 17980.10 provides that upon the City Council adopting a Resolution determining that a property constitutes a public nuisance, the City acquires jurisdiction to abate any such violation;
WHEREAS, the Property has been the subject of Code Compliance efforts for over a decade, and in 2018, the City was forced to declare a public nuisance, obtain an inspection and 4 of 35 ATTACHMENT A

abatement warrant, and forcibly abate the nuisance by removing a dilapidated fence and other junk from the front yard; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held before the City Council on November 18, 2025, and all interested parties were provided notice and an opportunity to be heard on the issue of whether the conditions present at the Property constitute public nuisances.

NOW, THEREFORE, based on the written documents and oral testimony presented at the hearing, the City Council of the City of Poway resolves as follows:

SECTION 1: That the above recitals are true and correct, and are incorporated herein by this reference, as if set forth fully herein;
SECTION 2: The City Council finds and declares that the following conditions on the Property each present a danger to the health, property, safety, and welfare of the public and therefore constitute a public nuisance as defined in California Civil Code sections 3480 and the Poway Municipal Code: (1) maintaining or permitting an accumulation of junk, weeds and/or inoperable vehicles on a lot used for residential purposes; (2) maintaining a standard condition of the physical residence and engaging in unpermitted construction or repair work in violation of Chapter 15 of the Poway Municipal Code; and (3) allowing or maintaining an unpermitted encroachment into the right-of-way.

SECTION 3: The City Council orders the owner of the Property to abate the nuisances within 30 days of the date of this Resolution by (i) removing any accumulation of "junk" (as that term is defined by Poway Municipal Code section 8.80.01 0(c)) and any inoperable vehicle in both the front and back yards, or any other area in public view, in compliance with Poway Municipal Code Chapters 8.80 and 17.08; and (ii) repairing all substandard construction or repair work on the residence itself, specifically including the front exterior of the residence in compliance with Poway Municipal Code Chapter 15; Following completion of the aforementioned corrective work and within the same 30-day period, the owner of the Property shall have the City inspect the Property to verify compliance.

SECTION 4: A copy of this resolution of the City Council ordering the abatement of the nuisances shall be served upon the owners of the Property. The service shall be made both by registered or certified mail, addressed to the owner at the last known address of the owner and by posting a copy on the Property. Any owner shall have the right to have the nuisances abated in accordance with this resolution and at his or her own expense, provided the same is completed prior to the expiration of the 30-day abatement.

SECTION 5: If the nuisances are not completely abated by the owner as directed within the 30-day period, the City shall cause the same to be abated by the City personnel or private contract, and the personnel or persons under contract are expressly authorized to enter upon the premises for such purposes. The owner of the premises shall be liable to the City for all costs of the abatement, including administrative costs.

SECTION 6: In accordance with the provisions of Poway Municipal Code Chapter 8.72, the City Council directs City staff to maintain an itemized account of all costs incurred by the City in abating the nuisances, including all administrative and legal costs and expenses. City staff shall submit to the City Council for confirmation an itemized written report showing the costs. The City Council may modify the report if it is deemed necessary and shall then confirm the report by motion or resolution.

This
office
serves
as
City
Attorney
for
the
City
of
Poway
.

The
City's
records
show
that
you
are
the
owner,
occupant,
and/or
have
a
legal
interest
in
the
property
located
at
16943
Valle
Verde
Road
in
the
City
of
Poway
("Property").

We
have
been
informed
that
the
Prope1ty
is
in
violation
of
the
Poway
Municipal
Code
("PMC")
. Accordingly,
this
letter
will
serve
as
notice
and
provide
you
a final
opportunity
to
remedy
the
below-referenced
violations.

This
is
not
the
first
time
that
the
City
has
been
forced
to
take
code
enforcement
action
against
you.

This
time
around,
the
City
has
again
made
an
internal
effort
to
obtain
voluntary
compliance
from
you
by
both
writing
you
several
letters
and
issuing
you
several
citations
demanding
that
you
bring
the
Property
into
compliance
with
applicable
codes
.

While
you
have
had
more
than
a reasonable
amount
of
time
to
bring
the
Property
into
compliance,
you
have
failed
to
do
so.

At
this
point,
the
City
has
turned the
case
over
to
our
office,
acting
in
the
capacity
of
City
Attorney
for
the
City
of
Poway,
to
handle
this
matter.

The
following

AG EN DA REPORT City of Poway
November 18, 2025
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
Julie Procopio, Director of Development Services
Alan Fenstermacher, City Attorney
Julie Procopio, Director of Development Servic~
[email protected] U
Alan Fenstermacher, City Attorney

CITY COUNCIL
Resolution Declaring the Property at 14033 Riverbend Road Constitutes a "Public Nuisance" and Ordering the Property Owner to Abate the Violations This hearing is being held pursuant to Chapter 8.72 of the Poway Municipal Code (PMC) for the purpose of determining whether the unpermitted cargo container (seatainer), trash, junk, miscellaneous debris, weeds and physical condition of the residence (e.g., sagging roof) located on the property at 14033 Riverbend Road (APN 275-796-12) should be declared a "public nuisance" and whether the property owner should be ordered to correct these violations. The owner of the property is Mark T. Bruno. Should the City Council order these violations be removed, and if the property owner fails to do so in the time allotted, then the City will complete the work and record either a lien or special assessment against the property for all costs and fees associated with securing compliance with the applicable codes.

Recommended Action:

Discussion:

The property is located as shown in Attachment B, and contains an unpermitted seatainer, as well as trash, junk/debris and weeds. The property's roof also appears to be in disrepair. The City first became aware of noncompliance with the PMC on the property in 2023, when it issued a courtesy notice, followed by two notices of violation (Attachment C). Following continued noncompliance, five administrative citations were issued in 2024 and 2025 (Attachment D). City staff and the City Attorney's 1 of 33
November 18, 2025, Item #9
office
also
participated
in
an
in-person
meeting
with
the
property
owner
in
August
2025,
seeking
to
obtain
voluntary
compliance.

Despite
these
efforts,
all
of
the
violations
of
the
PMC
remain.

In
a final
attempt
to
obtain
voluntary
compliance,
on
October
22,
2025,
the
City
Attorney's
office
sent
the
owner
an
additional
Notice
of
Violation
and
final
notice
to
abate
the
property
and
final
notice
to
abate
the
nuisances
on
the
property
(Attachment
D).

If
the
City
Council
finds
that
the
conditions
on
the
property
constitute
a
public
nuisance,
the
City
will,
after
the
City
both
provides
the
owner
the
required
legal
notice
and
secures
an
inspection
and
abatement
warrant,
abate
the
violations
by
removing
the
seatainer,
all
the
trash,
junk,
miscellaneous
debris
and
weeds
. Recent
photos
of
the
property
are
included
as
Attachment
E
to
assist
in
this
determination.

The
inspection
warrant
would
also
permit
the
City
to
inspect
the
physical
structure/residence
and
determine
if
additional
action
needs
to
be
taken
to
abate
the
potentially
substandard
condition
thereof,
specifically
the
roof.

All
costs
of
the
abatement
will
be
kept
and
itemized
and,
if
the
owner
refuses
or
fails
to timely
reimburse
the
City
for
such
expenses,
staff
will
return
to
the
City
Council
to
confirm
the
costs
and
then
lien
the
property
for
the
same.

Environmental
Review:

This
item
is
not
a
"Project"
pursuant
to
the
California
Environmental
Quality
Act
(CEQA)
and
is
therefore
not
subject
to
CEQA
review.

Fiscal
Impact:

All
costs
of
the
abatement,
plus
an
administrative
fee,
will
be
assessed
to the
property
owner
via
a
lien
and/or
a
special
assessment.

Public
Notification:

Public
notice
was
published
in
the
Poway
News
Chieftain
on
November
6th,
2025,
and
a
copy
of
this
report
was
sent
to
the
property
owner.

WHEREAS, a public hearing was held before the City Council on November 18, 2025, and all interested parties were provided notice and an opportunity to be heard on the issue of whether the conditions present at the Property constitute public nuisances.

NOW, THEREFORE, based on the written documents and oral testimony presented at the hearing, the City Council of the City of Poway resolves as follows:

SECTION 1: That the above recitals are true and correct, and are incorporated herein by this reference, as if set forth fully herein.

SECTION 2: The City Council finds and declares that the following conditions on the Property each present a danger to the health, property, safety, and welfare of the public and therefore constitute a public nuisance as defined in California Civil Code sections 3480 and the Poway Municipal Code: (1) maintaining a storage container/ "seatainer" on the Property without the required minor conditional permit; (2) maintaining or permitting an accumulation of junk, weeds and miscellaneous debris on a lot used for residential purposes; and (3) maintaining a condition of the physical residence in violation of Chapter 15 of the Poway Municipal Code with respect to the residence's roof.

SECTION 3: The City Council orders the owner of the Property to abate the nuisances within 30 days of the date of this Resolution by (i) removal of the unpermitted storage container/ "seatainer" pursuant to Poway Municipal Code section 17.20.030; (ii) removing any accumulation of "junk" (as that term is defined by Poway Municipal Code section 8.80.010(c)) and any inoperable vehicle in both the front and back yards, or any other area in public view, in compliance with Poway Municipal Code Chapters 8.76, 8.80 and 17.08; and (iii) repairing all substandard construction or repair work on the residence itself, specifically including the roof of the residence in compliance with Poway Municipal Code Chapter 15. Following completion of the aforementioned corrective work and within the same 30-day period, the owner of the Property shall have the City inspect the Property to verify compliance.

SECTION 6: In accordance with the provisions of Poway Municipal Code Chapter 8.72, the City Council directs City staff to maintain an itemized account of all costs incurred by the City in abating the nuisances, including all administrative and legal costs and expenses. City staff shall submit to the City Council for confirmation an itemized written report showing the costs. The City · Council may modify the report if it is deemed necessary and shall then confirm the report by motion or resolution.

Code
Section

1.10.030
provides

Administrative
Citation
{PMC
Chapter

1.10}
Poway
Municipal
Code
Section

1.10.030
provides
for
the
issuance
of
administrative
citations
for
violation
of
ordinances
or
permit
conditions
.

There
are
four
levels
of
citations
that
can
be
issued
progressively
for
a
violation.

The
fines,
as
indicated
on
the

$100.00
for
the

$200.00

the
Third
Citation,
and
$1000.00
for
the
Fourth

subsequent
Citations
for
the

year
.

These
fines
are
cumulative
and
citations
may
be
issued
each
day
the
violation
exists.

A
warning,
if issued,
does
not
incur
a
fine
and
, therefore,
may
not
be
appealed.

of
Poway.

within
TEN
(10)

CITY COUNCIL
Approval of an Ordinance of the City of Poway, California, Amending Poway Municipal Code Title 15 to Adopt by Reference the 2025 California Building Standards Codes with Local Amendments
On December 6, 2022, the City Council adopted the 2022 Edition of the California Building Standards Codes (CBSC). These codes, which are adopted by reference, are being replaced by the 2025 Edition of the CBSC. The 2025 Edition codes will go into effect on January 1, 2026. The purpose of this Ordinance is to update the Poway Municipal Code (PMC) to reference the current State-mandated code edition and to incorporate local amendments which address the City's specific needs based on zoning regulations and unique climate, topography, and geography. This proposed Ordinance includes the State required fire and life safety codes and practices from the CBSC.

Recommended Action:

It is recommended the City Council take public input, close the public hearing and introduce the Ordinance (Attachment A) for first reading by title only, waiving further reading and schedule the adoption of the ordinance for the December 2, 2025 Regular City Council Meeting.

Discussion:

The CBSC is published by the California Building Standards Commission every three years to include fire, building, electrical, residential, plumbing, mechanical, energy and green building standards.

Every three years, the City then adopts these codes by reference in Title 15 of the PMC, titled "Building and Construction." The last time the City updated its codes was in 2022, to adopt the 2022 Edition.

The California Health and Safety Code Section 17922 requires that each jurisdiction in the State adopt 1 of 49
November 18, 2025, Item #10
The
California
Health
and
Safety
Code
Section
17922
requires
that
each
jurisdiction
in
the
State
adopt
the
most
recent
edition
of
the
CBSC
within
180
days
of
publication
. The
2025
CBSC
was
published
on
July
1,
2025.

The
Statewide
effective
date established
by
the
California
Building
Standards
Commission
for
the
2025
CBSC
is
January
1,
2026.

If
not
adopted
by
the
jurisdiction,
it will
have
the
force
of
law
on
January
1,
2026.

When
adopting
the
CBSC,
a
jurisdiction
may
establish
more
restrictive
standards
reasonably
necessary
based
on
climatic,
geologic
or
topographic
conditions.

The
2025
CBSC
is
based
on
the
2024
International
Building
Code,
the
2024
International
Residential
Code,
the
2024
International
Existing
Buildings
Code,
the
2024
International
Fire
Code,
the
2024
Uniform
Plumbing
Code,
the
2024
Uniform
Mechanical
Code
and
the
2023
National
Electrical
Code.

The
California
Fire
Code
(CFC)
is
the
state
of
California's
model
Fire
Code
with
its
administrative
authority
being
derived
from
the
Health
and
Safety
Code.

Since
its
inception,
the
CFC
has
become
internationally
recognized
for
its
role
in
affirmatively
addressing
the
issues
related
to
fire
prevention,
fire
protection,
firefight
safety
and
public
safety.

The
Office
of
the
State
Fire
Marshal
is
responsible
for
publishing
the
code
text
complete
with
changes
reflecting
new
philosophies,
engineering
knowledge,
and
technological
applications.

Once
the
State
Fire
Marshal
adopts
the
CFC,
it
becomes
effective
throughout
the
State
of
California
for
all
cities,
counties
and
fire
districts
. In
addition,
local
adoption
is
necessary
in
order
to
amend
the
model
code
to
reflect
specific
challenges
unique
to
that
region
or
to
implement
revisions
necessary
to
provide
fire
protection
consistent
with
a
community's
ability
to
prevent,
respond
to,
or
mitigate
fire,
building
or
safety
hazards.

The
purpose
of
this
Ordinance
is
to
update
the
PMC
to
the
current
State-mandate
code
editions,
which
are
adopted
by
reference,
with
local
amendments.

The
Ordinance
(Attachment
A)
is
provided
in
strike
out/underline
format.

The
proposed
Ordinance
includes
the
adoption
of
the
following
codes
published
by
the
California

Commission
and

from

Section
(15.24.100)
to
the
new

Code
(PMC

Additional
revisions
to

are
recommended
for
better
alignment
with
the
CBSC,
to
clarify
current
policy
and
to
improve
safety.
2 of
49 November 18, 2025, Item #10
Some notable revisions include the following:

Code Revisions to Clarify Current Standards and Policies • Clarifies construction permits are required for removal, addition or reconfiguration of fire sprinkler systems when five or more sprinkler heads are affected in commercial structures and two or more in residential structures.
• Clarifies the requirement for installing improvements to support turning around fire apparatus vehicles on driveways and providing turnouts when exceeding 300 feet in length. • Clarifies Accessory Dwelling Unit and Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit addressing requirements. • Adds options for inclusion of fire mitigation walls and fences where applicable. • Provides landscape plan requirements for new buildings and building expansions within the High Fire Hazard Severity Zone and/or WUI area as currently required in the Poway Landscape and Irrigation Design Manual for properties within the Very High Fire Severity Zone.

Additions and Deletions to Improve Safety and Align with CBSC • Clarifies Hazardous Materials Permit requirements including a Hazardous Material Management Plan and Inventory Statement.
• Requires operational permits for farmers markets, holiday lots/events and street fairs/parades.
• Removes certain residential fire sprinkler requirements (including Inspector Test Valve, Alarm bell and pressure gauge) in favor of requirements that better align with the CSBC and NFPA Standards.
• Requires auxiliary power for water tank pumps serving fire sprinkler systems in the non-water service rural areas.
• Add provisions for voluntary (not required) fire alarm systems to include manual pull station at building lobby for alarm activation on egress, a smoke detector protecting the main fire panel, an annunciator panel in building lobby for first responders and a document cabinet for the approved plans.

Projects with building permit applications submitted after January 1, 2026, will be affected by the new CBSC and the provisions of this Ordinance which will be effective January 2, 2026, thirty days after the second reading of the Ordinance on December 2, 2025. Building permits in plan check prior to January 1, 2026, will not be subject to the new regulations. However, the defensible space requirements of the WUI Code will apply to existing buildings in the Very High Fire Hazard Area. The WUI Code applies to new construction or building modifications in both High and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones as well as areas identified by the City as WUI Areas.

Environmental Review:
3 of 49
November 18, 2025, Item #10
This project is exempt from the provIsIons of the CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3) in that it entails the adoption of State-mandated Building Codes, with minor local amendments and there is no possibility that this activity will have an effect on the environment.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

Public Notification:

A notice of Public Hearing was published in the Poway News Chieftain on Thursday, November 6, 2025, and Thursday, November 13, 2025.
