A. Chairperson's Report (W. Wulfeck)
B. Update on Sudberry Carroll Canyon and Watermark developments.
Watermark Presentation (Scripps Poway Parkway and I-15): Final EIR should be ready by the end of this month. Traffic is a big issue because retail creates more ADTs in the PM hours than the AM normal office hours. Scripps Miramar Ranch North voted 6-2 on the Pre EIR project. Currently no lease for any retailers yet for a lead tenant. Comment from EIR asked for a direct bike/pedestrian access to site from direction of I-15. No parking on Scripps Highlands. The next step is to host two more meetings after the final EIR then MRNPC will revisit the project again for a final vote. Proposed traffic ADTs is 6240 in AM, the PM peak is 18,500 which puts Scripps Poway Parkway over capacity. Road improvements will be completed prior to occupancy.
Sudberry Property at Carroll Canyon(owner Horizon Church):
Located at the North east corner of Carroll Canyon and I-15, Site is zoned EFIR, 827,000ft of office space for ADTs total 8300 , Proposal to build current plan about am 740 pm peak 798, total 10K, am 300 pm peak 1000. Parking partially under buildings (hidden) shops/ restaurants located on first level. Currently have a Non-Disclosure Agreement with potential tenant that is nonbinding for 122K sq.ft. (smaller scale than usual Walmart stores). There was discussion on how many linear ft from I-15 freeway to project site~ (550 ft of stacking cars). Timeline for project: Rezone requested, Community Plan Amendment/Update requested, Initial EIR to go out for 45 day review period, then 3 weeks for public comments responses, submit responses to the City, the City publishes the final EIR, project goes back to community for a vote, finalize EIR, then the last step is to go to Planning Commission for a vote.
C. Update on The Glen at Scripps Ranch.(Randy, Rick, Dave)
EIR Scoping Meeting at SR Library 10July2013 at 6:00pm, August EIR submission to city staff.
Traffic Report Update approved by City Staff: See handout for tables and assumptions.
Took worst case analysis (very conservative) trip generation rates for creating the traffic report.
55% reduction in total daily traffic use. Direct impacts to streets and intersections, with a suggestion to widen road, but the Community Plan does not allow for the widening of the road, therefore, project imposes no mitigation. Study showed no significant freeway impact. Road Level of service F before project and the road will have a grade of F after project is built. A letter from a Scripps Ranch resident was read aloud concerning his participation on the subcommittee Traffic Study meeting with CLC, due to he could not be present tonight.

V. Action Items
A. Verizon Wireless Communication Facility Environmental Determination
i. EIR Public Comments due by 14Jun2013 reminder sent to SRPG via email
B. Fairbrook Rd. Traffic
i. Intersection at Rue Fontenay will be controlled by a four way stop sign. Development Services said put it in, the Traffic Department says a four way stop sign is not warranted. Chantemar HOA is in favor of installing a Four Way Stop sign. Nothing from city in writing about the v-calm or traffic study. The traffic study process takes 60 days. Wally has received an email stating that, the stop sign will be installed. We can take action to slow down the process..
Motion: Advise city not to install four way stop sign until traffic report has been reviewed/analyzed by the community.
