11 HEALTH SAFETY and NUISANCE FACTORS

This application proposes a change from the Town Center to the Commercial General zone The
requirements regarding noise odors and olher potential health hazards are general standards and do
not change between zones With regards to the proximity of velerinary businesses to restaurants which
was a consjderaljon in this application the San Diego County Health Department does not have specific

regulalions that mandale a minimum business separaljon The appljcanl provided examples where
similar situaljons already existed within lhe City of Poway As such it does nol appear to be a sjgificant
issue

12 AESTHETICS

The Town Center zone has unique architectural requiremenls Changing the zone to Commercial
a

General CG would remove the compliance with these requirements However since the existing cent
was built 10 the CG standards nol significanl impacts are anticipated

13 UTILITIES and PUBLIC SERVICES

The proposed redesignaljon primarily changes only lhe types of land uses available 10 the parcel There
are no significant differences in available land uses between the zones that would have lhe potential to

create any major new impact on lhe ulility systems or govemmenl service

14 ENERGY and SCARCE RESOURCES

The proposed redesignatjon primarily changes only lhe types of land uses available 10 the parcel There
are no sjgnificanl differences in available land uses between lhe zones that would have the potential to

creale any major new demand or impact on any energy system
