D.        ACTION ITEMS:  

1.       Buena Creek/South Santa Fe Community Planning:  Over many years, residents along Buena Creek have requested information about land use policies in their area and the Sprinter Station. The County is updating its Housing Ordinance to provide more varied housing types and promote growth around the Sprinter Station located at the Corner of Buena Creek Road and South Santa Fe. The County is developing a plan for the Buena Creek/South Santa Fe area that will guide development around the Sprinter Station and hopefully make the area a vibrant community hub.  At this meeting we will hear from Vista City Manager,  John Conley to learn how Vista used various tools to create a variety of housing and commercial uses to redevelop downtown  Vista. Mr. Conley is familiar with the Buena Creek/South Santa Fe area and the areas between Vista and San Marcos. He will help the public understand the opportunities and challenges land use agencies and developers have when trying to build projects in an infrastructure deficient area. This discussion will tie into the 2023 Housing Zoning Ordinance Update.  

2.       PDS2022-LDGRMJ-30421  Landscape Maintenance/Outdoor Yard Utility Undergrounding Exception Request (DER) 2577 South Santa Fe : The County of San Diego is processing a Utility Undergrounding Design Exception Request (DER) for Vista Greens, LLC. for the undergrounding of existing overhead utilities along the project frontage of South Santa Fe Avenue and Smilax Road. The project will build a 4800 square foot metal building, create parking for landscape equipment, and create an underground storm water holding tank and small wetlands to process storm water prior to discharge into Agua Hedionda Creek that runs adjacent to the site. The County is requesting that the Twin Oaks Valley Sponsor Group within the North County Metro subregion review and make recommendation on the request to waive the requirement for undergrounding of utilities prior to approval. This is a follow up item to last month’s meeting.

3.       PDS 2023-MUP 23-010 2606 North Twin Oaks Valley Road: The Christian Reformed Church is requesting a discretionary permit for a cellular tower installation. This will include an approximate 85’ high mono pine and an enclosure surrounded by a 33’ x 33’ Chain link topped with barbed wire to house AT&T equipment. Future microwave may be added.

I appreciate your decision and agreeing with the County of San Diego recommending a DER for our project on S Santa Fe Avenue. Below in red are answers to your follow up questions from the meeting. Please let me know if you have any further questions or need clarification. Thank you.  What is the acreage of the property?  1.36 acres What type of fencing/wall/landscape is used on the perimeter of the property? The want to know if this will be aesthetically pleasing to the eye.  8’-0” tall Decorative (split faced) CMU walls with decorative CMU Pilasters.  What are the operating hours?  7:00am – 4:00 pm How many vehicles will be parked there at the end of the day?  Approximately 20 vehicles parked during off-hours.  What is the size of the wetlands? The Modular Wetland System (MWS) has external dimensions of 9 feet wide by 9 feet long by 6.88 feet. How is the water treated prior to the runoff? Will it discharge into the creek?

D.        PUBLIC COMMUNICATION:         

Announcements: To report graffiti, you may send us an email at PDS.CodeCompliance@sdcounty.ca.gov or call our hotline at 858-694-2705. Probably, the easiest way to report graffiti would be through email.     Pictures of the graffiti are very helpful, and we also need the address of where the graffiti is located. Or at the very least the cross street. There is currently a new proposal to help property owners remove graffiti since it can be costly. To learn more please visit our website: https://www.sandiegocounty.gov/content/sdc/pds/ce5/home/Community-Needs-Assessment.html You may also contact Kenneth Melton at 858-761-8993 to learn more about the program

E.         ACTION ITEMS:

1.         Community Benefits Agreements(CBA): This is an update. The County is looking for input from the community about this topic.  They are in the third and final phase and will have something to the Board before fall.  When a project requires mitigation or has unmitigated environmental impacts that can’t be addressed, a CBA between the County and/ or developer and the community could be used to help gather community approval for the project.  A CBA could provide amenities that the County and/or developer would provide that could enhance the quality of life for the community and help get community backing for the project.  The CBA is mandatory in projects that require mitigation. The County will provide incentives to encourage a CBA in other cases. The Board has a choice to recommend projects such as Agricultural project, housing projects, and other types of projects have a CBA.  Staff will present to the board options for voluntary participation that will be encouraged but not required. Projects such  renewable energy, warehouses, hospitals, large scale housing, and other project types deemed to have significant impact could be considered by the Board to be exempt from a CBA.   Please see the video presentation at: https://www.sandiegocounty.gov/content/sdc/pds/longrangeplanning/cba.html.

For more information, please contact Bianca Lorenzana by July 27, 2022, at (858) 505-6677, or by email at PDS.LongRangePlanning@sdcounty.ca.gov.  

2.            County Initiated Transportation Study Guide and CEQA Guideline Update on Implementing Vehicle Miles Traveled Analysis During Environmental Review in the Unincorporated Region:  This topic has been on the agenda before but it will be going to the Planning Commission on the 22nd of this month and the documents will not be released to the public before this agenda needs to be posted so it is being included in case new information requires action. The Planning Commission to consider adopting a Transportation Study Guide for Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) that would establish a threshold based on the regional average VMT (rather than an unincorporated area average), which includes the entire San Diego region. In addition, the TSG identifies Infill Areas with higher densities, intersection counts, and near jobs and transit where no VMT analysis or mitigation would be required, excluding any areas designated as High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones. Additionally, the TSG will provide screening criteria for small-projects, 100 percent affordable housing, locally serving uses and public facilities.

For more information, please review the Staff Report matching the project name above, located on the Planning Commission website at:  https://www.sandiegocounty.gov/content/sdc/pds/PC/sop/PCHearing_stream.html
