The Poway City Council Wednesday approved the temporary use of public parks for local fitness groups and worship activities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

After a brief meeting, the council unanimously directed city staff to prepare applications for groups to use open space in the city's parks free of charge and with minimal paperwork.

Poway Mayor Steve Vaus proposed the Sharing Outdoor Space Initiative after the state of California on Monday issued an order requiring all houses of worship, gyms and other fitness organizations to stop all indoor activities until further notice to lessen the spread of the coronavirus.

The city will require that it be named as an 'additional insured' on the organization's policy and 'that all COVID-19 safety guidelines be adhered to, including rules regarding face coverings and social distancing.'

The SOS Initiative is one of several actions the city has taken to help local businesses, including a moratorium on commercial evictions to help those affected by the virus' effect on the economy.

The council approved spending up to $2 million for loans to small businesses. The city also recently made picnic tables available to restaurants to expand outdoor dining.

'We have folks in Poway who are suffering,' Vaus said during Wednesday's meeting. 'I thought it would be important to step up and helped out wherever we can.'

Vaus said the city is 'blessed with acres and acres of park space' for those wanting to stay physically fit. He added the city's goal is to make the application process 'as painless and efficient as possible.'

Councilman Barry Leonard described the initiative as 'a common-sense approach.'

'This is beneficial to our community,' he added. 'We're not forcing people to do anything. We're not telling people they have to come out and be uncomfortable.'

Leonard said thousands of small businesses have closed in the nation, and may not open again. 'Our local businesses are in trouble,' he said, adding they've received mixed messages from state government. 'Anything we can do to help them out I'm for.'

Assistant City Manager Wendy Kaserman said her office is looking at a modified reservation process for applicants. She said the city is looking at using certain parks, including Community and Old Poway, for religious services.

The city 'wants to make sure there is opportunity for everybody,' Kaserman said, adding the initiative is temporary until government health orders are modified again.

Anita Edmondson of the Poway Chamber of Commerce commended city officials for the initiative.

'We have a lot of members who will fit this category,' Edmondson said, adding many were restarting their businesses when Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered the most recent indefinite closure. 'I'm hoping our members can take advantage of this,' she added.

Councilman John Mullin said he supports whatever the city can do help businesses survive, adding that he's frustrated by Newsom's orders closing or restricting certain businesses, and questioned whether they're effective at 'flattening the curve.'

Rene Carmichael, Poway community outreach coordinator, said staff members are working on the application, which should be ready no later than Friday and will be released 'as soon as it's ready.'

She added that Poway fitness-oriented businesses or houses of worship that want to use a park may contact the Community Services Department at 858- 668-4595

Poway voters are being asked to decide the fate of the defunct StoneRidge Country Club with Measure P.

StoneRidge used to offer a golf course and plush country club building, but now the property mostly features overgrown plants, shattered windows and graffitied walls.

Measure P would put a maximum of 160 homes on the property, in a development called “The Farm.” It will also include a minimum of 70.4 acres of permanent open space.

The ballot measure asks Poway residents to approve The Farm in the Poway Specific Plan. This plan was adopted by the Poway City Council in June, but a public vote is required to approve the development as it will change the zoning code for the property.

This isn’t the first time Poway voters have been asked to approve housing here. In 2017, they rejected Measure A, which called for more homes on the site.

The Farm In Poway's Erin McKinley said things are different this time.

“Measure P is very different in that it has unanimous approval and support from City Council, it has an associated specific plan, an environmental impact report and a tentative map that are completely approved and in stone, so people know what they’re voting for with Measure P,” McKinley said.

But unanimous support from the city council doesn’t mean unanimous support from residents.

Chris Prine of Preserve Poway said the second proposal to build on the property is a worse concept for locals than the first attempt.

“It's a worse deal for everyone who lives here. Many more cars, much more noise - we just feel it's not good for us,” Prine said. He also said much of the open space would be useless for recreation because it's on steep hills.

Proposed amenities for The Farm include parks, trails, gardens, event space, a cafe and butterfly vivarium, a community classroom, and a fitness club with courts and a swimming pool, which would be available to all Poway residents.
