materials, noise, and tribal cultural resources below a level of significance. The Project site is not listed as a hazardous materials site on the list compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5. The City Council has approved and adopted the MND in Resolution 26-_, approved concurrently with this Resolution.
SECTION 2: The findings, in accordance with Section 17.48.070 of the PMC, to approve CUP 26-0003, are as follows:
A. The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use are in accord with the title and purpose of Chapter 17.48 PMC (Conditional Use Permit Regulations), the General Plan, and the development policies and standards of the City, in that public utilities, including water utilities, are allowed within the PRD-1 Bridlewood Planned Residential Development land use designation, which aligns with the single family residential zoning designation. The approval of the CUP, EA and DR, will comply with all of the relevant codes and standards of the City.
B. The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use will be compatible with and will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to adjacent uses, people, buildings, structures, or natural resources.
C. The proposed use is in harmony with the scale, bulk, coverage, and density allowed by the zone land use designation and is consistent with adjacent uses in that this previously developed parcel will be redeveloped for the specified uses of the booster pump station.
D. There are adequate public facilities, services, and utilities available at the subject site to serve the proposed use.
E. There will not be a harmful effect upon desirable characteristics in that the project has been designed to be consistent with the guidelines contained in the General Plan, the PMC, and the Bridlewood Planned Residential Community to assist in creating a quality public environment.
F. The new booster pump station will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of persons residing or working in or adjacent to the neighborhood and will not be detrimental to properties or improvements in the vicinity or to the general welfare of the City as noise attenuation measures will be incorporated to comply with the PMC.
G. The site is suitable for the type and intensity of use and development in that the proposed use is adjacent to other, existing public water facilities for the City and will not operate independently. The granting of the CUP would not be materially detrimental to public health, safety, or welfare within the community since the proposed project will complete improvements necessary for water service throughout Poway and serve the San Diego County Regional Water Authority and the Ramona Water District. The proposed pump station parcels are a suitable location and redevelops an existing, underutilized parking lot.
H. The establishment of the PWIIP TWF and Redundant Pipeline will not adversely impact the capacity and physical character of the surrounding streets or the Transportation Element of the General Plan in that the project has been designed to handle parking and traffic and will not adversely impact traffic flow on Lake Poway Drive or Espola Road. 18 of 36

SECTION
3:
The
findings,
in
accordance
with
Section
17.52.010
of
the
PMC
, to
approve
DR
26-0004,
are
as
follows:
A.
The
development
review
process
supports
the
implementation
of
the
City
General
Plan
in
that
the
quality
of
residential
, commercial,
industrial,
and
public/quasi-public
uses
has
a
substantial
impact
upon
the
visual
appeal
, environmental
soundness,
economic
stability
,
and
property
values
of
the
City
.
B.
The
Project
has
been
designed
to
be
architecturally
compatible
with
surrounding
development
and
conforms
to
the
PMC
development
standards
and
the
Bridlewood
PRO
.
Therefore,
the
Project
recognizes
the
interdependence
of
land
values
and
aesthetics
and
provides
a
method
by
which
the
City
may
implement
this
interdependence
to
its
benefit.
C.
The
Project
encourages
the
orderly
and
harmonious
appearance
of
structures
and
property
with
in
the
City
along
with
associated
facilities
such
as
, but
not
limited
to,
signs,
landscaping,
parking
areas
and
streets.
D.
The
Project
maintains
the
public
health,
safety
and
general
welfare
,
and
property
throughout
the
City
.
E.
The
project
has
been
designed
to
minimize
impacts
on
surrounding
development
by
utilizing
a
design
for
the
perimeter
wall
which
is
substantially consistent
with
the
existing
public
facilities
areas
and
will
be
compatible
with
surrounding
neighborhood
development.
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
.
G.
The
design
and
improvements
of
the
proposed
site

the
booster
pump
station
, ensures
the
proposed

CITY COUNCIL
Amendment to Poway Municipal Code and South Poway Specific Plan to Prohibit Third Party Al Data Centers
At the July 21, 2026, City Council meeting, the City Council unanimously approved a proposal from Mayor Vaus and Councilmember Edmondson to direct staff to bring back an item banning large, third party data centers utilized for artificial intelligence ("Al") applications throughout the City. The purpose of this prohibition is the increasing evidence that these types of data centers use significant water and electricity and result in strain on water and electricity infrastructure, adverse impact on utility rates, air quality impacts, noise impacts, and fire risk. Al Data centers are largely automated, and lead to a lack of long-term, local jobs and economic growth provided when compared to traditional industrial, manufacturing and office uses.
Data center uses are currently not defined in the Poway Municipal Code (PMC), but the only potential location they may be currently permitted would be in the business park area, which is subject to the South Poway Specific Plan ("SPSP" or "Specific Plan"). Staff has prepared a proposed Ordinance (Attachment A) and Resolution (Attachment B), which would define a new term "Al Data Center," and ban that use City-wide generally, and specifically in the SPSP area, respectively. The Ordinance is an amendment to the PMC, and the Resolution is an amendment of the SPSP.
Recommended Action:
It is recommended the City Council: Introduce the Ordinance to amend the PMC for first reading by title only, waive further reading, and schedule the adoption of the Ordinance for the October 6, 2026 2 of 26
September 15, 2026, Item #11
Regular City Council meeting; and adopt the Resolution to amend the SPSP to add "Al Data Center" as a specifically defined use that will be prohibited.
Discussion:
Data centers have been proliferating over the last several years, with the dramatic increase in use of Al applications. The focus of this item is third party data centers, which are generally large facilities that host data for offsite operations, as opposed to data storage for onsite use or as an ancillary use for a different use (i.e., a business storing its own data). These types of third-party Al data centers have come under scrutiny nationwide for their negative impacts, which include significant water and electricity use, and resulting strain on water and electricity infrastructure, potential adverse impact on utility rates, air quality impacts, noise impacts, and fire risks. Additionally, Al Data Centers are largely automated, and while they may result in temporary construction jobs, there is a lack of local, long term jobs and economic growth provided when compared to traditional industrial, manufacturing and office uses that would otherwise be permitted in the City's commercial areas, specifically including the SPSP area (the business park).
For the purposes of the proposed prohibition, the prohibited use "Al Data Center" is defined as follows:
"Al Data Center" shall mean a use that has the principal purpose of housing computer servers that utilize high-density clusters of specialized accelerators like Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), and any associated data storage systems, for third party entities that store, process, train, or support artificial intelligence applications. The defined term Al Data Center shall not include any data storage use ancillary to a different principal use on the same property as the data center/storage use. Al Data Center also does not include edge data centers, micro data centers, or traditional on-premises server rooms/data closets that utilize Central Processing Units (CPUs).
City staff believes that the proposed Ordinance and Resolution will prevent negative impacts of Al Data Centers, as well as preserve remaining vacant land or land being redeveloped in the business park and elsewhere for their highest and best use, which the City believes are commercial uses that generate more jobs, with less negative impacts on the environment.
Environmental Review:
The proposed PMC and Specific Plan amendments are not a "project" subject to California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") because the prohibition of Al Data Centers will not have a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect impact on the environment. (Pub. Res. Code§ 21065.) Fiscal Impact:
None.
Public Notification:
A Notice of Public Hearing was published in the San Diego Union Tribune on Thursday, September 3, 2026.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
POWAY, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING TITLE 17 (ZONING) OF THE
MUNICIPAL CODE TO PROHIBIT Al DATA CENTERS IN ALL
ZONES
WHEREAS, the City of Poway wishes to protect and preserve the public safety, health, welfare, resources, and quality of development throughout the City through effective land use and planning;
WHEREAS, Article XI, § 7 of the California Constitution empowers the City to enact and enforce ordinances regulating conditions that may be public nuisances or health hazards, or that promote social, economic, or aesthetic considerations;
WHEREAS, the City has become aware of the proliferation of large, high volume data centers serving offsite, third party artificial intelligence ("Al") companies and users, and potential negative impacts of such uses such as significant water and electricity use, strain on water and electricity infrastructure, adverse impact on utility rates, air quality impacts, fire risk, and lack of long term jobs and economic growth provided when compared to traditional industrial, manufacturing and office uses;
WHEREAS, the City Council's purpose in adopting this ordinance is to establish a clear, permanent land use policy that Al data centers are not an allowed land use anywhere within the City, thereby providing certainty to residents, businesses, and property owners about long-term development expectations;
WHEREAS, on September 15, 2026, the City adopted Resolution No. _ approving a specific plan amendment to prohibit the development of "Al data center(s)" in the South Poway Specific Plan;
WHEREAS, currently, data center uses are not a specifically designated use within the Zoning Code;
WHEREAS, after further study, the City wishes to make third party, Al data centers a prohibited use throughout the entire City; and
WHEREAS, the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") does not apply to this ordinance because it is not a "project" and has no potential to result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment. (Cal. Pub. Res. Code § 21065; 14 Cal.
Code Regs. § 15378.) Further, this Ordinance is exempt from CEQA because there is no possibility that this Ordinance or its implementation would have a significant negative effect on the environment (14 Cal. Code Regs.§ 15061 (b)(3));
WHEREAS, on September 15, 2026, this Ordinance was introduced for first reading, and then considered for adoption after second reading on October 6, 2026; and WHEREAS, the City Council has read and considered the staff report for the proposed Ordinance and has considered other evidence presented at the public hearing. 5 of 26
September 15, 2026, Item #11
Ordinance No.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF POWAY DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: The above recitations are true and correct.
SECTION 2: Section 17.02.070 (Prohibited Land Uses) is hereby added to Chapter
17.02 (General Provisions) of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Poway Municipal Code and reads as follows:
Unless preempted by federal or state law, it is unlawful for any person to construct, operate, reconstruct or use real property for an Al Data Center in any zone in the City. Any violation of this section shall constitute a violation of this Code and shall be subject to the enforcement provisions, remedies, and penalties set forth in Chapter 17.54.
SECTION 3: Section 17.04.095 (Al data center) is hereby added to Chapter 17.04 (Definitions) of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Poway Municipal Code and reads as follows:
"Al Data Center" shall mean a use that has the principal purpose of housing computer servers that utilize high-density clusters of specialized accelerators like Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), and any associated data storage systems, for third party entities that store, process, train, or support artificial intelligence applications. The defined term Al Data Center shall not include any data storage use ancillary to a different principal use on the same property as the data center/storage use. Al Data Center also does not include edge data centers, micro data centers, or traditional on-premises server rooms/data closets that utilize Central Processing Units (CPUs).
SECTION 4: The proposed Municipal Code amendment has been reviewed with respect to the applicability of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code section 21000 et seq.) ("CEQA"). The City Council has determined that the text amendment does not have the potential for creating a significant effect on the environment and is therefore exempt from further review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061 (b )(3), because it can be seen with certainty that adoption of the Ordinance has no possibility of having a significant effect on the environment. The proposed amendment is not a "project" and has no potential to result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment. (Cal. Pub. Res.
Code§ 21065; 14 Cal. Code Regs.§ 15378.)
SECTION 5: If any section, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Ordinance, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance and each section, clause, phrase, and portion thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more portions may be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This Ordinance shall take effect and be in force thirty (30) days after its adoption.
CERTIFICATION/PUBLICATION: The City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this Ordinance and cause it or a summary of it, to be published with the names of the City Council members voting for and against the same in the Poway News Chieftain, a newspaper of general circulation in the City of Poway within fifteen (15) days after its adoption and shall post a certified 6 of 26

CITY COUNCIL
Award of Agreement to Landscape Structures Inc. for Poway Oaks Neighborhood Park Playground Renovation, Utilizing Cooperative Purchasing Contract #101625-LSI The City of Poway's (City) adopted Fiscal Year 2026-27 operating budget includes funding for Poway Oaks Neighborhood Park Playground Renovation. The City participates in and is a member of several cooperative purchasing organizations which establishes and provides nationwide competitively solicited purchasing contracts which can be utilized by member agencies, such as the City. Landscape Structures Inc. (LSI) has offered competitive pricing for Poway Oaks Neighborhood Park Playground Renovation through the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contract (Contract #101625-LSI).
Recommended Action:
It is recommended the City Council award the Agreement for Poway Oaks Neighborhood Park Playground Renovation project to Landscape Structures Inc. in the amount of $528,953.44 and authorize the City Manager to execute the necessary documents.
Discussion:
As part of the City's ongoing efforts to maintain and improve recreational facilities, staff periodically evaluate playgrounds based on age, condition, maintenance needs, play value, and location. Following the recent renovation at Lake Poway, Poway Oaks Park was identified as an appropriate location for the next playground improvement, helping provide a renovated play facility in the southern portion of the City.
The existing playground is aging and exhibits significant sun fading and rust on the transfer platforms.
Its surfacing consists of wood chips and deteriorating rubber tiles that require replacement. The proposed renovation will provide consistent safety surfacing and substantially increase play value, expanding from five (5) existing play components to 13, including custom educational panels that provide additional interactive and educational opportunities. Additional improvements will include 1 of64
September 15, 2026, Item #12
overhead shade, a shade panel/privacy screen, and seating to enhance comfort and usability for children, families, and supervising adults. The renovation will provide a safer, more engaging, and more welcoming play environment while addressing the facility's condition and maintenance needs.
The proposed equipment will be manufactured by LSI, the City's current playground manufacturer.
Standardizing equipment with LSI will support the City's maintenance program by allowing staff to source replacement components from a single manufacturer and maintain parts that can be used across multiple City facilities.
The agreement through LSI has 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. A summary of the quote received is listed in table 1 below:

Since 1971, Landscape Structures has been shaping the way the world plays.
Founded by Steve King, a landscape architect with a passion for aesthetics and functionality, and his wife Barb King (1947-2008), whose organizational talents brought their shared vision to life, the company was built on a simple but powerful idea: that play is life-changing.
Steve pioneered the concept of continuous play, which involves interconnecting slides, climbers, ladders and more into a seamless play experience. This innovation created greater play value in a smaller space while encouraging social interaction, skill development and imagination. Together, Steve and Barb's complementary skills transformed this idea into a thriving business that today stands as a global leader in the commercial playground industry.
More than five decades later, Landscape Structures has grown to more than 800 employee-owners, over 600,000 square feet of manufacturing space across its play, SkyWays shade and Aquatix splash play divisions, and a worldwide network of playground consultants. As one of the few remaining independently owned companies in the industry and proudly 100% employee-owned (ESOP), our people remain at the heart of every1hing we do.
We believe play is life-changing. That belief drives our core values-relationships, integrity, commitment, innovation, teamwork and passion which moves us to create play spaces that welcome children of all abilities. With Steve King's vision as our foundation, we have continued to design play environments that go beyond ADA requirements, ensuring true inclusion for every child. From nature-inspired designs that harmonize with their surroundings and outdoor fitness environments that encourage the whole community to stay active to some of the most captivating, themed play spaces in the world, we transform the landscape of play every day.
Our philosophy is simple: deliver innovation, durability and long-term value while honoring the environment. Independent research has confirmed our leadership in product quality, innovation, custom design capabilities, environmental stewardship and customer service. This reputation is built on our attention to detail, commitment to continuous improvement and values-based culture.
Looking ahead, our vision is clear: we make the most captivating play spaces in the world. By continuing to push boundaries in design and service, we strive to be the industry leader in innovation and operational excellence, supported by the most dedicated playground consultants anywhere.
See attachment O.11 LSI History & Corporate Timelines for more detailed information.
Landscape Structures currently holds a Sourcewell contract with a maturity date of Feb. 17, 2026. We have seen sales under this contract grow 405% over the past five years and expect that growth momentum to continue. We believe we are the current sales leader within the Sourcewell playground category and anticipate a strong finish to 2025, projecting another year of significant growth over last year's contract performance.
In the event of an award, we expect continued growth, deepened engagement and elevated service. We are committed to sustaining steady year-over-year growth in Sourcewell sales by further integrating the program into our national sales strategy and continuing to strengthen awareness among our representative network and customers. This includes further equipping our representative organizations and individual sales consultants with comprehensive training on the benefits and processes of Sourcewell procurement, ensuring they lead early in the sales cycle with confidence and clarity.
As has been the case in the past, we expect and encourage our sales consultants to actively participate in Sourcewell Academies and Universities offered in their regions, and to promote Sourcewell contracts at local and national trade shows, exhibits and conferences. Our commitment to Sourcewell customers is anchored in a "you have our word" approach which drives us to deliver above-and-beyond service and support.
We will also expand our already strong engagement with Sourcewell, including our interactions with our Sourcewell Senior Supplier Development Executive, by inviting them to participate in our sales consultant training meetings, as we've done in the past. Regular communication between our business development leadership and the Sourcewell team will ensure timely updates, collaborative outreach and alignment on promotional opportunities.
We view a Sourcewell award as more than a contract; it represents a true partnership built on transparency, shared values and a mutual commitment to serving communities with integrity and excellence.

Landscape Structures Inc. is a 100 percent employee-owned manufacturer founded in 1971. While we traditionally share financial information only with our banking and insurance partners due to its confidential and competitively sensitive nature, we recognize the importance of demonstrating financial strength and stability in your evaluation process.
The company employs more than 800 employee-owners and has been fully employee owned since 2012. PricewaterhouseCoopers has conducted annual audits of our financial statements for more than 20 years and has consistently issued clean audit opinions. As of Dec. 31, 2024, our audited balance sheet showed assets exceeding $300 million and no long-term corporate debt. We maintain a long-standing relationship with U.S. Bank, which provides financial flexibility and operational efficiency. A healthy, annually renewed line of credit is in place, though it has remained untapped for several years.
Our current bonding capacity of $60 million further underscores our financial integrity and operational reliability. The bonding program, supported by International Fidelity Insurance Company (rated A-, Financial Size Category VII by AM Best), reflects the confidence of an independent third-party surety in our ability to meet all contractual and performance obligations.
Taken together, this information demonstrates our capacity to meet both our immediate and long-term obligations.

Market share data is confidential, an estimation and typically not disclosed. However, we have high confidence that we hold a significant market share of nearly 25 percent in the U.S. This measure is based on the most recent sales data reported through the International Play Equipment Manufacturer's Association (IPEMA) which is a voluntary sales reporting system provided by its members. Landscape Structures, a founding member of IPEMA, uses this information to help benchmark industry trends and performance.

Landscape Structures, a founding member of IPEMA, uses this information to help benchmark industry trends and performance.
Neither Landscape Structures nor any Responsible Party has filed a petition for bankruptcy protection.
Landscape Structures is a manufacturer selling our products primarily through our exclusive, independent rep channel.
As a 100% employee-owned company, Landscape Structures places tremendous value on the trusted relationships we've built with our sales and service network of independent representative organizations. These organizations are not third-party resellers; rather, they are exclusive partners who sell, service and support our play, water and shade product lines. Each represents only Landscape Structures play, water and shade products. This ensures complete focus on our brand, our quality standards and our shared mission to create the most captivating play spaces in the world.
Although the playground industry does not require any special licenses to be held by manufacturers, Landscape Structures has chosen to pursue and maintain the highest levels of safety and accountability.
We are a founding member of the International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association (IPEMA), an organization that promotes quality and safety for all playground manufacturers. It is a member-driven international trade organization that represents and promotes an open market for manufacturers of play equipment of which Landscape Structures has been a member in good standing since its inception.

In the interest of playground safety, IPEMA provides a Third-Party Certification Service whereby a designated independent laboratory validates a participant's certification of conformance to ASTM F1487, Standard Consumer Safety Performance Specification for Playground Equipment for Public Use, except sections 7.1.1, 10 and
12.6.1; CAN/CSA Z614, Children's Playspaces and Equipment Standards, except clauses 9.8, 10 and 11; or both. A list of current validated products may be viewed at www.ipema.org.
CSA: The Canadian Standards Association. Nearly all equipment developed by Landscape Structures is certified to meet CAN/CSA-Z614, the Children's Playspaces and Equipment Standard, through IPEMA. A list of current validated products may be viewed at www.ipema.org.
CPSIA Safety Compliance: At Landscape Structures, product safety is a top priority.
We believe there is no investment more valuable than the protection and safety of our children. That's why we always strive to go beyond the minimum safety requirements and build this value into every piece of playground equipment we produce.
The Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) of 2008 specifies safe limits on the maximum allowable amount of lead in paints, coatings and other materials used on children's products, and sets limits on certain heavy metals and six different phthalates (plasticizers used to make vinyl and other plastics soft and flexible) used in certain toys and childcare articles. Landscape Structures has tested hundreds of materials to validate compliance to this safety act. All products manufactured and distributed through Landscape Structures meet or exceed the requirements of the CPSIA.
ISO Certification: ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). Its purpose is to promote common standards for businesses worldwide. ISO 9001 :2015 has a process-oriented structure, is customer focused and emphasizes continuous improvement in quality.
ISO 14001:2015 drives us toward operating in a manner that is environmentally conscious.
Both standards provide guidelines for establishing a company's quality and environmental management programs. In 1998, Landscape Structures became the first play equipment manufacturer to be certified in ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Annual audits by a third party are required to maintain these certifications, which we've done * successfully each year since 2015 through the date of this response.
What does this mean to a customer? This means that a customer can purchase from Landscape Structures with confidence because we have the processes in place to consistently manufacture the highest quality products while being conscious of how we are impacting the environment.
Although not an industry requirement, Landscape Structures requires members of our staff to be certified by the National Playground Safety Institute (NPSI). This includes many of our product development team, playground design team and our technical services (installation support) team. This ensures our customers receive the benefit of knowledge and compliance with government standards. This occurs at all levels from the development of the ,equipment, design of the playstructures, through installation and maintenance services.
In addition, many key staff members are actively involved in the development of standards for our industry. Cofounder Steve King is an American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) Fellow, and a founding member and past President of IPEMA. Steve has been chairman of a task group of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) that worked with the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) to update the ASTM F1487 Specification: a voluntary safety and accessibility standard for public playground equipment designed for children ages 2 to 12. His task group had the added responsibility of developing playground accessibility standards to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Landscape Structures was also the first company to develop new playground components specifically meeting ADA requirements.
Tom Fitzpatrick, P.E., Product Development Manager, has been an integral part of Landscape Structures for 23 years. Tom serves on multiple committees with ASTM and IPEMA, including the IPEMA Board of Directors and the Equipment Certification Committee. He is also certified by the Canadian Playground Safety Institute as a Canadian Certified Playground Inspector and by the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) as a Certified Playground Safety Inspector (CPSI).

Our philosophy of 'We believe play is life-changing" extends to how we support our customers long after a project is complete. Our long-tenured customer experience and sales operations team provides responsive, high-quality service to both our sales consultants and end customers. Guided by the motto "We Support Play," each team member is assigned to a specific geographic territory, ensuring consistent, knowledgeable and personalized support for every client.
Our service processes are defined by ISO-audited standard work, which ensures consistent training, accountability and continuous improvement. Same-day responses are our expectation, and the team meets weekly to review issues, implement corr~ctive actions and identify proactive opportunities to enhance the customer experience. Most replacement parts are shipped within two business days, regardless of the product's age, reflecting our commitment to long-term support and reliability.
Our technical services team provides dedicated assistance for installation questions or on-site challenges from professional installers and customers alike. This expert team is available 24/7 through a dedicated hotline, ensuring timely guidance and resolution whenever and wherever it's needed.
Since we were first awarded the Sourcewell contract in April 2017, all Sourcewell contract orders have been conducted directly between the customer and Landscape Structures. Service is provided through our experienced sales network, who play a vital role in ensuring a seamless and responsive customer experience.
Our sales representatives partner with customers from the initial concept through the completion of each project. They are responsible for submitting design requests to Landscape Structures and collaborating with our internal teams to finalize pricing and prepare detailed proposals. Once a proposal is complete, the representative presents it to the customer for review and approval. When approved, the customer issues a purchase order which the representative submits to Landscape Structures for processing.
Landscape Structures reviews the order, ensuring everything is in place for manufacturing, shipping and invoicing. This multi-step process ensures accuracy, transparency and efficiency at every stage.

Our customer service philosophy begins with a simple promise: "You have our word".
We put our values ahead of profit, ensuring every interaction reflects our commitment to integrity, quality and care. One of our five corporate initiatives is to "ensure a world class experience with our representative partners and end customers every time." Our customer experience team is available Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT, and can be reached through multiple channels for convenience and responsiveness. We also offer a toll-free installation hotline that operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to assist with time-sensitive questions in the field.
Landscape Structures maintains a strong Quality Management System (QMS), which includes standard work procedures and an ISO-audited customer service program that drives consistency and accountability across all touchpoints.
Many of our representative offices also offer early morning, evening or weekend appointments to accommodate customer schedules. Hours of operation vary by office but are typically 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
When service needs arise in the field, we follow a documented process called the Customer Contact Note (CCN) system. Representatives submit CCNs directly from the field to report issues such as shipping concerns, freight damage, missing parts or warranty needs. Each CCN receives a response within 24 hours to ensure projects stay on schedule. All CCNs are reviewed weekly with operations leadership to identify root causes, implement corrective actions and advance continuous improvement initiatives.
Another distinguishing aspect of our service program is our replacement parts commitment. To the best of our knowledge Landscape Structures is the only play equipment manufacturer in our industry able to provide replacement parts regardless of the age of the equipment. Parts are identical to the originals, except when design improvements are made for safety or compliance. In those cases, we supply replacements that are similar in form, fit and function.
We maintain detailed archives of every order, including purchase orders, layout drawings, acknowledgments, invoices and shipping documentation. Standard lead time for replacement parts is two weeks, the same as for standard play equipment when required. Standard hardware can often be supplied the next day, and common painted welded parts typically ship within 24 to 72 hours.
To continually evaluate and improve our customer experience, we send a post-sale satisfaction survey approximately eight weeks after every order ships. Feedback is shared with our representative organizations to celebrate successes, address concerns and reinforce our shared commitment to exceptional service.
For more than 50 years, Landscape Structures and our representative organizations have proudly partnered with municipalities, schools and other community-focused entities. These are the same customers that Sourcewell serves. Our extensive network across the United States and Canada positions us to deliver consistent, responsive support to every participating member.
We are fully capable and committed to meeting the needs of Sourcewell participating entities, providing high-quality playground, fitness, shade and splash play products, expert design guidance and reliable service. As an employee-owned company, we take great pride in building lasting relationships and helping communities achieve their goals through play.
Landscape Structures is fully able and committed to providing our products and services to all Sourcewell participating entities in Canada. Over the past several years, we have built strong momentum as our three Canadian representative partners have successfully helped customers adopt our Canoe/Sourcewell contracts. To date, Canoe sales have reached several million dollars, reflecting both growing trust in our brand and the value we deliver to communities across Canada.
To further strengthen our presence, we have appointed a dedicated Regional Sales Manager who works closely with our Canadian representative organizations to support continued growth and partnership. In collaboration with our Canoe account manager, we are also planning additional training sessions to equip our representatives with the tools and knowledge needed to serve participating entities with excellence.
Our continued investment in our Canadian partnerships underscores our long-term commitment to supporting Sourcewell members with innovative play and recreation solutions that enhance communities across Canada.

From the beginning, our founders made a promise: to create play spaces that delight children while respecting the planet. That promise continues to guide every aspect of our work today.
At Landscape Structures, sustainability is not a single initiative but an integral part of how we design, manufacture and deliver our products. Our approach focuses on reducing environmental impact, increasing energy efficiency and ensuring the longevity of every playground we build. By using responsibly sourced materials, lean manufacturing practices and ISO-certified environmental systems, we are helping to create a healthier, more resilient planet, one playground at a time.
Every playspace we design is built to last for decades. By using high-quality materials and low-maintenance finishes, our playgrounds remain safe, functional and beautiful for years to come. Durability is at the heart of sustainability, extending the life of every structure while reducing the need for replacement. We continually innovate with materials and manufacturing processes that lessen environmental impact without sacrificing safety or performance. Mixed- material designs allow us to create inclusive, dynamic play experiences that balance creativity with environmental responsibility.
Most of our products are proudly manufactured in the United States, reducing carbon emissions from transportation while supporting domestic jobs. Whenever possible, we comply with the Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA) and its sustainability objectives. In cases where international sourcing is necessary, we uphold strict environmental and ethical standards and provide detailed Environmental Statements that outline material origins and responsible practices. Our products are also engineered for long-term climate resiliency. For example, SkyWays® shade structures protect children from heat and UV exposure while extending the lifespan of the playground equipment beneath them which helps communities stay safe, sustainable and ready for the future.
Sustainability is embedded in every stage of our manufacturing process. At Landscape Structures, rigorous environmental and quality management systems guide how we design, build and deliver our products. Both our Play and SkyWays® divisions are certified to ISO 14001:2015 for Environmental Management Systems, a certification we first achieved in 1998 through the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). We are also certified to ISO 9001 :2015 for Quality Management Systems, a standard we have maintained since 1996 that ensures consistent product quality and continuous improvement.
Our operations are designed to minimize waste and conserve resources. Scrap materials such as steel, aluminum and plastic are recycled and reused whenever possible, keeping valuable resources in circulation and reducing landfill waste.
Energy Efficiency and Lean Manufacturing
Our facilities feature energy-efficient systems that reduce consumption and emissions. Guided by lean manufacturing and the Kaizen philosophy of continuous improvement, we regularly evaluate and enhance our processes to eliminate waste and improve performance. These ongoing initiatives ensure that our operations remain as responsible and resilient as the play spaces we create.
Since 2008, we have partnered with American Forests, the oldest national nonprofit conservation organization in the United States, to plant more than 500,000 trees. These reforestation efforts help offset carbon emissions, restore habitats and support cleaner air and water.
Our commitment to environmental responsibility is guided by ISO 14001 :2015, the internationally recognized standard for environmental management systems.
In 1998, we became the first U.S. playground equipment manufacturer, and only the seventh company in Minnesota, to achieve ISO 14001 certification. This milestone reflects our deep dedication to conservation, recycling and reducing the environmental impact of our operations.
More than two decades later, we continue to meet and exceed the requirements of this rigorous standard across both our Play and SkyWays® divisions.
ISO 14001 pushes us to operate in ways that are environmentally conscious, including reducing waste, conserving energy, improving recycling processes and innovating with sustainability in mind.

As a 100% Employee-Owned company (ESOP), our biggest differentiation is our empowered people; a culture of ownership, pride,· commitment to innovation, quality, and a continuous improvement focus. We also have the best-in-class and most tenured (exclusive) distribution channel of reps, who are an extension of our team and as passionate about serving customers as we are. In an industry where most play and recreation products companies are now owned by private equity groups, we believe our employee ownership gives us a unique ability to do the right thing for our customers, every time. This also motivates us and our representatives to a world-class standard and to serve Sourcewell customers with more care and reliability than any other commercial play, water, or shade company.
To elaborate, we are proud of our culture and commitment to excellence, which not only measures the quality of our equipment but also enhances our total customer experience. "Cool Journey," our formal continuous improvement program, started in the Fall of 1999 and has dramatically improved our lead times, efficiencies and organizational effectiveness. Thanks to our lean manufacturing practices and single order flow, we consistently manage to manufacture an entire standard product order within days, allowing us to produce orders to meet individual customer timing needs.
Through our Kaizen events and daily improvement efforts, we have tackled thousands of challenges throughout the company; from significantly improving paint line changeover times to decreasing the cost of our annual catalog. In all ways, the cross-functional thoughtfulness and talent of our empowered employee-owners have found innovative solutions to help us run better, faster and smarter. Through POCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycles and MDI (managing for daily improvement) leadership development, we've created a continuous improvement culture where employees are empowered to challenge assumptions, eliminate waste, and standardize excellence.
We define quality by what matters most to our customers: form, fit, function and reliability.
Our lean methodology ensures that every improvement aligns with customer value, whether it's reducing defects, improving delivery or enhancing the user experience.
Many additional factors set Landscape Structures apart including our commitment to manufacturing excellence, uncompromising product quality and continuous innovation. Above all, we deliver exceptional long-term value to our customers. Our products are designed and built to stand the test of time, ensuring a lower total cost of ownership and lasting satisfaction for the communities we serve.
We have an open invitation for customers to visit us in Delano, Minnesota for a Play Tour to see all of this firsthand. Our lean manufacturing practices and kaizen techniques combined with a creative, empowered work force drives significant operational improvements, reduces waste, increases efficiencies, and ensures product quality. The includes a tour of our manufacturing facilities during which they see processes in action and learn how manufacturing improvements have created more environmentally preferable products.
Our commitment to inclusive play is unmatched in the industry, and we're proud to lead the movement toward designing the most welcoming and meaningful play spaces for children of all abilities. We partner with experts, advocates and organizations that help us continually advance our understanding of accessibility and inclusion. From universal design principles to sensory-rich environments, we focus on creating spaces that not only meet standards but exceed expectations. Our dedication has been recognized globally. Landscape Structures was named to the inaugural Forbes Accessibility 100 List, which honors the world's most innovative companies making significant progress in improving life for people with disabilities.
At Landscape Structures, we have the unique history, experience, and ability to deliver fully customized solutions for playgrounds, shade structures and splash play _environments. This is an area where we continue to lead in a rapidly evolving industry. Our design philosophy is rooted in understanding that play is not one-size-fits-all. Our in-house design, engineering and manufacturing teams work side by side to transform bold ideas into extraordinary destinations. This integrated process gives us full control over quality, precision and creativity from concept to completion. No detail is overlooked, and no project is treated as routine.
Our warranty begins with a simple promise: "You have our word". At Landscape Structures, our goal is to build lifelong relationships with our customers. We stand firmly behind our products and our commitments, and we are dedicated to ensuring that every warranty situation is resolved with integrity, care and lasting satisfaction.

Landscape Structures designs play areas to comply with the 2010 standard to ADA Standards for Accessible Design. This includes a review of the accessible routes, and the accessibility of the ground-level and elevated play components.
At Landscape Structures, inclusion isn't just a goal; it's a promise. We believe play is life- changing, and that belief drives us to create play spaces so children of all abilities feel welcomed, supported and celebrated.
From the very start of our design process, we seek out voices that matter most: kids themselves. Our Jr. Play Team, which is a group of children from the Twin Cities with a wide range of physical, cognitive and sensory disabilities, brings invaluable lived experience to product development. Through their honest feedback, real-time play and conversations with their caregivers, we uncover what works, what needs improvement and how to design play environments that truly welcome everyone.
Their perspective shapes how we design and manufacture inclusive solutions. For example, during testing of our new Volo Aire TM tower, children enjoyed climbing onto the net but some found it challenging to get down safely. By adding slides at the second level, we created an easier, more dignified way for kids and caregivers to exit, which was an improvement that not only enhanced accessibility but also made the experience better for everyone. lnclusivity doesn't stop with design. Our installation teams are highly trained professionals who bring precision, care and a deep commitment to accessibility to every project. Beyond installation, our global network of playground consultants continues to support communities with resources, training and education, ensuring that inclusion remains at the heart of every play space long after the ribbon is cut.
For projects in Canada, where required, Landscape Structures play areas are designed to comply with CAN/CSA Z614-20 Annex H for accessibility. This includes a review of the accessible routes, and the accessibility of the ground-level and elevated play components.
See attachment Q.47 Inclusive Play Links for links to our Inclusive Play Brochure and Jr. Play Team Video (included in 'Additional Documents')
Our commitment to quality, safety and sustainability is reflected in the industry certifications and standards we uphold.
ISO Certifications: We are certified to both ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 standards. These certifications ensure that our products are manufactured to the highest quality standards while maintaining an environmentally conscious approach throughout our operations.
IPEMA Membership & Certification: Landscape Structures is a proud member of the International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association (IPEMA). Nearly all of our equipment is third-party certified through IPEMA to meet ASTM F1487 and CAN/CSA Z614-20 standards for public playground safety and performance.
ASTM Standards: Our products meet the requirements of ASTM F1487, the "Standard Consumer Safety Performance Specifications for Playground Equipment for Public Use," with noted exclusions. ASTM standards provide the technical requirements that guide our product safety and innovation.
Canadian Standards: Through IPEMA, our products are certified to CAN/CSA Z614-20, the Canadian national standard for children's playspaces and equipment.
CPSC Compliance: We align with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's Public Playground Safety Handbook as well as the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), which specifies strict limits for lead, heavy metals, and phthalates in children's products.
American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Certification: Our Dallas-based SkyWays® commercial shade division has successfully completed the Approved Fabricator Certificate by the !AS-accredited building department of Clark County, Nevada, further proof of our commitment to quality manufacturing practices.
Together, these certifications demonstrate our uncompromising dedication to safe, inclusive, durable and environmentally responsible play products. By consistently meeting these rigorous standards, we ensure that every Landscape Structures product delivers long-term value and peace of mind for the communities we serve.

Our manufacturing processes and materials emphasize precision, durability, safety and installation efficiency. We perform most laser cutting under nitrogen gas, which produces cleaner edges, prevents oxidation, and ensures long-lasting quality, in contrast to competitors who may cut under oxygen, leaving oxidized edges that can compromise durability. We also use Flowcoat steel tubing in many cases, providing superior corrosion resistance and extending product life compared to black steel. Additionally, our deck construction uses heavy-gauge material with engineered ribbing and support to deliver structural integrity with reduced deflection over time.
We integrate sliding footers into our slides which ensure they don't pull away from decks, warp or crack due to typical expansion and contraction. The result: They help eliminate gaps that can potentially entangle children's clothing. Bolting slides directly to the ground may be less expensive, but it's not as safe or long lasting. To our knowledge, we are the only playground equipment manufacturer to use sliding footers at the bottom of our slides.
For safety and longevity, we secure netting with ball knots rather than S-hooks. We install PEM nuts in-house to create strong, vibration-resistant threaded connections that outperform riv nuts. We apply PVC dip coatings on select components to provide a durable, weather-resistant, non-slip surface, while competitors often use alternative plastics that degrade more quickly.
To speed installation and protect quality, each part is individually labeled with a part number and a pictorial representation; unique product barcodes tie every component to the packing list for scan verification and complete quality control. Packaging is kitted and organized in installation sequence to reduce handling, prevent damage and allow for efficient time use on site.
While most other manufacturers ship boxes of hardware separated by type, we pre-combine hardware in packs for each component ensuring mistake-proof and faster installations. All our bolts, flange nuts and screws vandal resistant and pre-dipped in a secure, patch adhesive to keep play equipment secure and safe from unwanted tampering. Equipment assembly diagrams are included on the packaging to make installation easier and error free and help make community-build projects more efficient.
We offer the industry's most comprehensive and thoughtfully curated color choices. Color is energy we not only see, but feel, and it has proven physical, emotional, and social impacts on us. That's why thoughtful color selection is a critical part of creating playgrounds that not only add aesthetic beauty to a community but are also beneficial to all who visit. From infancy through early adolescence, color perception is closely linked to cognitive development.
It starts with a pull toward simple primary colors and moves toward more complex and sophisticated hues.
At Landscape Structures, we've created a spectrum of proprietary colors and complementing palettes that offer communities an opportunity to choose the colors that best suit their environment and also draw children to play. From form to function to color, we continually evolve our palette options to echo changing trends and provide the best play opportunities to help kids grow to be better adults.
Landscape Structures is one of the few play companies that primes 100% of its painted products with a primer before receiving the final color. This ensures the best possible quality, durability, and corrosion resistance. We also use a proprietary ProShield paint, which uses SuperDurable Architectural Powders to provide maximum UV protection so that our colors remain true for decades to come.
Together, these processes and materials result in products that are safer, longer-lasting and lower-maintenance, delivering greater value and reliability.

Children are naturally inventive in their approach to play, and while exploration fuels imagination, it must be balanced with safeguards against serious injury. We follow the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) guidelines, which recommend separate play areas for ages 6 to 23 months, 2 to 5 years and 5 to 12 years. Designing age-appropriate spaces ensures that equipment dimensions, skill levels and play styles are matched to developmental needs.
Environmental design is equally important. Playgrounds should be adequately shaded, well drained, highly visible, and separated from traffic or natural hazards. Working with our expert consultants, communities can create layouts that minimize congestion, protect children and maximize safe play patterns.
Protective surfacing further enhances safety. Whether using engineered wood fiber, resilient tiles, poured-in-place surfacing, or combinations of loose-fill and unitary systems, we ensure that playgrounds not only cushion falls but also provide accessibility for children who use wheelchairs and other mobility devices.
A well-designed playground does more than protect children; it empowers them. Inclusive play environments provide opportunities for all children to explore, practice new skills and build confidence, regardless of physical, cognitive or sensory ability. These playgrounds foster independence and meaningful engagement, creating environments where differences fade and shared experiences flourish.
Play is also a critical teacher of social skills. Research shows that social interaction learned in childhood impacts lifelong success. Inclusive playgrounds encourage face-to-face play, cooperation and empathy, essential skills for school, work and community life.
Inclusive playgrounds nurture every aspect of child development:
Imaginative play allows children to "try on" roles and expand learning beyond the physical.
Cooperative play components like the We-Go-Swing®, We-Go-Round®, We-saw™ and Sway Fun® Glider encourage teamwork.
Quiet play zones such as the Cozy Dome® or Sensory Tunnel provide safe spaces for reflection, regulation and exploration.
lnclusivity extends beyond children. Our play spaces are designed for multigenerational use, enabling parents, grandparents and caregivers of all abilities to engage with the children in their care. These spaces become true community gathering places.
At Landscape Structures, we believe play is life-changing. That belief drives us to design and build play environments that are as unique as the communities they serve. Every space we create is more than a playground. It's a destination where imagination, movement, and connection come to life. Our designs amaze and inspire, challenge and empower, and celebrate the joy of childhood.
As a 100 percent employee-owned company, we are fully invested in every project we create. There's no one-size-fits-all approach as each playground is made to order. With highly skilled and experienced designers, broad material selections and advanced manufacturing capabilities, we set the standard for leading design and dare to smartly push the boundaries of what's possible. Clients have direct access to our design team throughout the process, ensuring that every project reflects their goals, vision and community story.
Customization extends far beyond aesthetics. We design play experiences that meet children where they are physically, emotionally, and developmentally. Our goal is to give children of all ages and abilities the opportunity to play from every angle. Through innovative products and inclusive design, we create spaces that encourage empathy, pride and connection while promoting growth, discovery and belonging.
In addition, we can produce almost any custom playground product idea a customer can dream up. We are uniquely qualified with a dedicated custom manufacturing division and in house concrete GFRC production facility.

We are proud to be a 100 percent employee-owned (ESOP)
company. Because of this ownership structure, we do not qualify for certification as a woman-owned or minority-owned business however our employee ownership reflects an equally powerful commitment to shared success, long-term
sustainability and diversity.
The ESOP distinction sets us apart in the commercial
playground industry and ensures that every eligible employee, regardless of role, tenure or background, has a direct stake in our success. Ownership is tied to employment, not
hierarchy, meaning that frontline team members and executives alike share equally in the accountability and rewards of what we build together.
Employee ownership shapes a culture of shared responsibility, * innovation and integrity. It drives us to deliver the most captivating play spaces in the world because every project reflects not only our brand, but also our personal pride as owners. This structure also positions us as one of the few truly independent companies in our industry, giving us the freedom to stay true to our mission and values.
Equally important, inclusivity is woven into both our leadership and our operations. Nearly half of our senior leadership team is female, demonstrating our commitment to equity and
representation at the highest levels of decision-making.
Beyond our walls, we actively support supplier diversity by partnering with many woman-owned, minority-owned and small businesses across our distribution channels and subcontractor network.

Aquatix mechanicals, design services, and all ancillary products and services are priced on a guaranteed not-to-exceed model. A complete price list showing list price is attached. Price list includes unique model numbers for all products offered.
At Landscape Structures, our goal has always been to provide the highest quality and most innovative products and services at a fair price while delivering exceptional value. We understand that value is defined differently by each customer, so we strive to attract and retain customers who prioritize characteristics such as durability, great service, working with a manufacturer that "does the right thing" irrespective of the warranty wording, values relationships, and gives back to the community.
We also want to emphasize that we do not inventory finished products, so excess inventory does not drive our pricing. We have resources available to help customers earn grants. Unlike some retail pricing models that price products above market and then offer significant "discounts" to entice potential buyers, our contract discounts are genuine and not recovered through higher markups on freight, installation, or other products and services.

Big Stone Lodge
Summary:
As Poway continues to take a thoughtful approach to its history, land use, housing needs, and open space, the Big Stone Lodge remains an important part of the overall historic landscape of Poway. The Lodge is one of Poway's historic structures, built over 100 years ago. As we continue to look for opportunities to preserve our quality of life and engage in long-term planning decisions, areas such as this parcel in the city should be re-evaluated for the highest and best land use.
Therefore, the Big Stone Lodge parcel is better suited as a passive park that could serve as an additional open space amenity for the community and honor the historical importance of the site, with design features that preserve key remnants of its history.
We believe the Big Stone Lodge parcel is not ideal for an affordable housing project given its size and location. Poway has a limited supply of land left for passive parks and open space, especially in this area and designing a park to honor Poway's long-term history seems more appropriate at this location.
We propose the City take the necessary steps to acquire the parcel from the Housing Authority, remove the parcel from the affordable housing inventory list, and develop plans for a passive park at that location. Accordingly, we would like to direct staff to return with a report outlining the following:
• The process by which the City could purchase the parcel from the Housing Authority; • Identify the available funds for such a transaction;
• Identify the legal steps, if any, for replacement of like kind of the parcel; • Provide a current inventory of parcels zoned for affordable housing to meet our Regional Housing Needs Assessment obligations.
