I am a resident of Poway and I am opposed to the city council approving the Harmon Ranch Specific Plan on Oak Knoll Rd. The Harmon Ranch Specific Plan would allow the developer to build many more houses, build them closer together and put them on smaller lots than what is currently allowed by Poway’s General Plan and development codes.

Oak Knoll Rd is already one of the densest areas in Poway, and is impacted by traffic and insufficient parking. As none of the houses that Lennar plans to build on Oak Knoll will count toward the state-mandated low and moderate income units that Poway is required to build, we find that there is no reason to increase density on Oak Knoll Rd.

The Harmon Ranch Specific Plan is not consistent with Poway’s General Plan. It is a way for the developer to get around Poway’s development rules, and to change plans after approval without any public notice.
