NOTICE OF CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of Poway will hold a Public Hearing to consider the following item: General Plan Amendment (GPA) 26-0001 adopting the City of Poway Safety Element. This is an amendment to the Safety Element of the General Plan, initially approved by the City Council in 1983 (GPA93-01), with a major General Plan Update and Master Environmental Assessment in 1991. The City of Poway Safety Element, which is part of the City’s General Plan, defines goals, policies, and strategies which will guide the City. By State law, a City’s Safety Element must be updated in order to periodically assess the changing safety needs of the community and establish an action plan to address these needs to further the goals and policies of the City’s General Plan. A 30-day public review will begin on the same date as the publication of this notice. The draft Public Safety Element is available for review in person at the Development Review Counter or at this link: www.poway.org/286/General-Plan . Based on comments received, changes may be incorporated into the Safety Element Update to ensure compliance with the requirements of State Law. An Environmental Impact Report and a Master Environmental Assessment for the Poway General Plan were approved by the City Council in 1991. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, Section 15061(b)(3), the Update is covered by the common-sense exemption, where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment; therefore, no further environmental review is required.
