14. Development Review 25-0002 and Tentative Tract Map 25-0002, a Request to Construct 47 Townhomes and Four Ground-Floor Commercial Spaces within the Town Center Land Use District of the Poway Road Corridor Specific Plan Located at 13044 and 13056 Poway Road (APNs 317-101-04 and 317-101-05); and Determine the Project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
The Public Hearing for Development Review 25-0002 and Tentative Tract Map 25-0002 was continued from the February 17, 2026 Regular City Council meeting.

Mayor Vaus continued the Public Hearing at 7:08 p.m.

Associate Planner Mary Piscitelli presented the item along with a PowerPoint presentation.

She provided an overview of the proposed Development Review and Tentative Tract Map applications submitted by lntracorp Homes for the development of a mixed-use project located at 13044 and 13056 Poway Road within the Town Center Land Use District of the Poway Road Corridor Specific Plan. She explained the project site consists of two vacant commercial parcels totaling 2.06 acres and is proposed for the development of 47 market-rate, three-story townhomes within 10 buildings, including four ground-floor commercial storefronts along Poway Road.

Ms. Piscitelli described the project design, noting the incorporation of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, pedestrian-oriented features, landscaped courtyards, and commercial storefronts intended to support the vision of the Poway Road Corridor Specific Plan (PRSP).

She explained the proposed lot consolidation would reduce curb cuts, improve circulation, and allow the project to qualify for a Tier One height incentive. Ms. Piscitelli noted the applicant is not requesting a density bonus and is proposing the project below the maximum allowable density.

Ms. Piscitelli reviewed the project's evolution following community and City feedback, including revisions to increase commercial space, add storefronts and courtyard areas, reduce building massing, provide separate conveyance of commercial units, and enhance privacy screening along the rear property line. She highlighted the project's consistency with the Town Center development standards, requested administrative adjustments related to commercial storefront requirements, and conditions related to commercial readiness, traffic improvements, and Housing Element requirements. Ms. Piscitelli concluded by stating the 7 of 11

City of Poway -Minutes -July 21, 2026
Responding further, the applicant explained construction would occur in phases with measures including dust control, street sweeping, and compliance with construction regulations. Staff noted the project would require completion of grading and building plan review prior to construction and that coordination would occur to minimize conflicts with other active projects and traffic impacts.

Council discussed the proposed commercial frontage and courtyard areas, recognizing the courtyards support the intent of the Poway Road Specific Plan by activating the frontage, providing gathering spaces, and enhancing commercial viability. Staff explained the City has sufficient surplus capacity within its Housing Element sites inventory to accommodate the project's affordable housing requirements.

Council recognized the applicant's responsiveness to community feedback and noted improvements made throughout the review process, including increased commercial space, dedicated commercial parking, enhanced setbacks, architectural articulation, and additional site amenities. Council discussed the project's consistency with the Poway Road Specific Plan, General Plan, and Municipal Code, noting the project balances housing requirements, commercial activation, and community character.

Council acknowledged the importance of the public review process and collaboration between residents, staff, and the applicant in refining the project. Council further discussed State housing laws and potential alternative development scenarios, recognizing the importance of considering the project within the applicable regulatory framework.

Motioned by Councilmember Pikus, seconded by Mayor Vaus to: 1) find and determine the Project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15332 (Class 32: In­ Fill Development Projects); 2) determine the Project offers a superior design which justifies approval of the Applicant's request for administrative adjustments for the ceiling height and depth of commercial spaces and Tier 1 height incentive and is in conformance with the PRSP; and adopt Resolution No. 26-043 "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Poway, California, Approving Development Review 25-0002 and Tentative Tract Map 25-0002 to Construct 47 Townhomes and Four Ground Floor Commercial Spaces Within the Poway Road Corridor Specific Plan, Town Center District, Assessor Parcel Number 317-101-04 and 317-101-05".

15. Resolution Renewing the Fire Protection Special Tax to be Collected on the Property Tax Roll for Fiscal Year 2025-26
Mayor Vaus opened the Public Hearing at 8:43 p.m.

Director of Finance Craig Schmollinger presented the item. He stated the City must renew its Fire Protection Special Tax as required by the County of San Diego to be placed on the property tax roll for Fiscal Year 2026-27. Mr. Schmollinger noted the tax was originally 9 of 11
September 1, 2026, Item #2
City of Poway -Minutes -July 21, 2026
approved by an 84% vote of the people in 1997 and is designated as a Special Tax. He added the tax may only be used for fire protection, including personnel, expenses, and equipment related to fire protection services, and explained each parcel's tax is determined by a point system based on land use and the required fire flow to serve the parcel. The amount to be collected has remained unchanged since its adoption at $3.12 per point, resulting in an estimated total collection of $658,000 for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

Mr. Schmollinger added the Fire Protection Special Tax generated $535,000 in Fiscal Year 1997-98, representing approximately 17% of the Fire Department's $3.2 million budget. He noted the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Fire Department budget is $18. 7 million, with the estimated $658,000 in Special Tax revenue representing approximately 3.5% of the total budget.

He concluded by stating approval of the item would authorize collection of up to $700,000 to accommodate potential additions to the property tax roll during Fiscal Year 2026-27.

COUNCIL-INITIATED ITEMS:

16. Stand-Alone Commercial Data Centers in Poway
Mayor Steve Vaus introduced the item. He stated the item is intended to direct staff to prepare an ordinance prohibiting the development and operation of stand-alone commercial data centers in the City of Poway. Mayor Vaus explained the proposal is based on land use considerations, noting standalone commercial data centers require substantial electricity and water resources, generate continuous noise from cooling systems, and rely on backup diesel 10 of 11
September 1, 2026, Item #2
City of Poway -Minutes -July 21, 2026
generators. He stated the City's limited commercial and industrial land should be preserved for uses that provide greater community benefit and employment opportunities, and emphasized the proposal is intended to provide certainty regarding future land use while protecting the character of the community.

Councilmember Edmondson noted the proposal is fundamentally a land use issue focused on the best use of the City's resources. She stated recent reports have highlighted increasing demands on electrical infrastructure associated with data centers and added those resource constraints reinforce the importance of proactively addressing the issue in Poway.

End of Public Comment.

Council discussion ensued. Council recognized the proposal as a proactive land use measure intended to preserve the City's limited commercial and industrial land for uses that provide greater long-term employment opportunities and community benefit. Council acknowledged the significant electricity and water demands associated with standalone commercial data centers and the potential strain on public resources.

Council referenced previous experience with battery energy storage facilities and emphasized the importance of proactively addressing emerging land uses. Council expressed interest in receiving additional information regarding the short and long-term employment impacts of standalone commercial data centers to assist with future consideration of an ordinance.

Discussion continued regarding the potential merits of both a temporary moratorium and a permanent prohibition, recognizing future technological advancements could warrant reconsideration of the issue. Council also requested staff evaluate whether a proposed ordinance should address smaller personal data centers in addition to standalone commercial data centers.

Motioned by Mayor Vaus, seconded by Councilmember Edmondson to direct the City Manager and City Attorney to return as soon as possible with a draft ordinance amending the Poway Municipal Code to prohibit the development and operation of stand-alone commercial data centers within the City of Poway. Motion carried 5/0 by the following roll-call vote:

CITY COUNCIL
Authorization to Purchase Network Hardware Utilizing NASPO ValuePoint Purchasing Program Contract #7-17-70-40-05 from Nth Generation Computing, Inc.

The City of Poway (City) approved Fiscal Year 2026-27 Capital Replacement Equipment Fund budget includes funding to purchase technology hardware including Citywide network hardware. The City is a member of several cooperative purchasing organizations including the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) ValuePoint which establishes and provides nationwide competitively solicited purchasing contracts that can be utilized by member agencies. For optimal pricing, it is recommended the purchase of the technology hardware be made through the NASPO ValuePoint Purchasing Program utilizing Contract #7-17-70-40-05 with Nth Generation Computing, Inc. The total estimated cost for this purchase, including hardware, 24/7 maintenance and hardware support, and sales tax is $137,656.66.

Recommended Action:

It is recommended the City Council authorize the purchase of network hardware for a total cost of $137,656.66 from Nth Generation Computing, Inc. and authorize the City Manager to execute the necessary documents.

Discussion:

As part of the City's asset management replacement program to keep hardware technology current and supported by the manufacturers, funds were budgeted this fiscal year for the replacement of core network hardware at City Hall and Public Works. Upgrading the core network switches will provide for improved network throughput by supporting higher port and backplane speeds, as well as providing more efficient traffic handling speeds to meet the greater bandwidth and concurrent­ connection demands of cloud applications. The City has already migrated several applications to Software as a Service (SaaS) cloud environments overthe past year with plans to complete other cloud migrations of applications this fiscal year.
1 of 5
September 1, 2026, Item #3
After an analysis of current technology and the City's use of its current network environment, it was determined to replace the existing network hardware with current models of existing equipment to keep the technology and manufacturer consistent across all City data centers.

It is recommended the network hardware and 24/7 maintenance and support be replaced through the NASPO ValuePoint Purchasing Program utilizing Contract #7-17-70-40-05 with Nth Generation Computing, Inc. as the reseller. All agreements offered through the NASPO ValuePoint Cooperative Purchasing Program have been awarded via a thorough Request for Bid (RFB) competitive solicitation program by a public agency/government entity (e.g., state, city, county, public university, or school district). The program provides a streamlined and effective procurement option by establishing agreements with manufacturers and suppliers currently on an existing multiple award schedule with a competitive procurement procedure. Section 3.28.110 of the Poway Municipal Code permits the use of cooperative purchasing programs for procurement of supplies, services, and equipment when the administering agency has made their purchase in a competitive manner.

Environmental Review:

This action is not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Fiscal Impact:

The City proactively plans for the replacement of its Information Technology assets by annually setting aside a portion of the anticipated replacement costs. As such, sufficient funding is available in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Capital Replacement Equipment Fund (115010-61212) and Information Technology Services Budget (113010-61212) for the purchase of network hardware replacements for the City Hall and Public Works data centers. The total cost of this purchase is $137,656.66.

Public Notification:

None.

Authorization to Purchase Network Hardware Utilizing NASPO ValuePoint Purchasing Program Contract #7-20-70-47-06 from ePlus, Inc.

The City of Poway (City) approved Fiscal Year 2026-27 includes funding to purchase firewall hardware maintenance and the associated security software subscription for existing Firewalls at City Hall. The City is a member of several cooperative purchasing organizations including the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) ValuePoint which establishes and provides nationwide competitively solicited purchasing contracts that can be utilized by member agencies. For optimal pricing, it is recommended the purchase of the technology maintenance and software subscription be made through the NASPO ValuePoint Purchasing Program utilizing Contract #7-20-70-47-06 with ePlus, Inc. The total estimated cost for this purchase, including three years of hardware support and associated security software subscriptions is $123,118.78.

Recommended Action:

It is recommended the City Council authorize the purchase of network hardware for a total cost of $123,118.78 from ePlus Inc. and authorize the City Manager to execute the necessary documents.

Discussion:

In September 2023, City Council approved the purchase of new firewalls for the City Hall datacenter which included three years of hardware support and associated security software subscriptions.

Firewalls act as a digital gatekeeper between a trusted internal network and untrusted external networks like the internet. It monitors, filters, and controls incoming and outgoing data traffic based on a strict set of security rules to block cybersecurity risks, malware, and unauthorized access. The existing hardware remains viable and supported by the manufacturer and renewing the maintenance and software subscriptions for an additional three years is recommended. The new maintenance agreement will provide these services starting in September 2026 through September 2029. 1 of 3

Award of Agreement to Brightview Landscape Services for Turf Conversion on the Scripps Poway Parkway Median from Pomerado Road to Kirkham Way An informal request for quotes for Turf Conversion on the Scripps Poway Parkway Median from Pomerado Road to Kirkham Way was requested on October 1, 2025, by the City of Poway (City). The City participates in California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (CUPCCAA) which allows informal bidding procedures for public works projects under $220,000. City staff (staff) contacted CUPCCAA registered companies to provide quotes for Turf Conversion on the Scripps Poway Parkway Median from Pomerado Road to Kirkham Way. Three (3) quotes were received and reviewed by staff. Staff attempted to contact LaBahn's L~n9scaping, but the company has since become nonresponsive. Staff determined Brightview Landscape Services to be qualified to provide these services at the best value to the City.

Recommended Action:

It is recommended the City Council Award the Agreement for Turf Conversion on the Scripps Poway Parkway Median from Pomerado Road to Kirkham Way to Brightview Landscape Services in the amount of $142,401.40 and authorize the City Manager to execute the necessary documents.

Discussion:

The proposed project will convert non-recreational turf within the Scripps Poway Parkway median from Pomerado Road to Kirkham Way to water-efficient landscaping. The project is part of the City's ongoing efforts to reduce water use in public landscapes and further advance its water conservation objectives. The City has been actively converting non-recreational turf areas to more water-efficient landscaping as part of these efforts. Many of the City's medians have already been converted, leaving a limited number of medians that still contain non-recreational turf. The medians included in this project were selected based on the remaining non-recreational turf areas and their potential to further advance the City's water conservation objectives. 1 of23
September 1, 2026, Item #5
Converting these medians to water-efficient landscaping will reduce irrigation demand and the amount of recycled water required to maintain the remaining vegetation. The project also provides an opportunity to incorporate sustainable landscape and stormwater management practices while utilizing funding available through the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California Water Smart Program. This program provides a $7 per square foot rebate, which would fully reimburse the project's $142,401.40 contract cost. The proposed landscape design includes a meandering dry river rock feature that will serve as a stormwater management element. The feature is intended to improve water infiltration and reduce surface runoff while complementing the surrounding sustainable landscape.

Completion of the project will build upon the City's previous turf-conversion efforts and further advance its goals related to water conservation, resource efficiency, sustainable landscaping, and responsible use of recycled water. Replacing water-intensive turf with water-efficient landscaping is also expected to provide long-term operational benefits through reduced irrigation demand and associated maintenance needs.

The City participates in CUPCCM which allows informal bidding procedures for public works projects under $220,000. Staff contacted CUPCCM registered companies to provide quotes for the Turf Conversion on the Scripps Poway Parkway Median from Pomerado Road to Kirkham Way Project. Three (3) quotes were received and reviewed by staff. Staff attempted to contact LaBahn's Landscaping, but the company has since become nonresponsive. Staff determined that Brightview Landscape Services is qualified to provide the services requested and offers the best overall value to the City. A summary of the quotes received is listed in table 1 below:

Table 1:

Brightview Landscape Services $142,401.40
LaBahn's Landscaping $142,276.48
Aztec Landscaping, Inc $298,971.38

This action is not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Fiscal Impact:

Sufficient funds are available in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 adopted budget in Landscape Maintenance District (LM D) 19-01 (420140-41200). The City proactively planned for this project as part of the development process for the Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget. 2 of 23
