The former Stoneridge Country Club in Poway is finally about to get cleaned up. It appears voters have approved new housing on the land, which has turned into a beat-up, overgrown mess.

Poway voters passed Measure P which which would decide the fate of the defunct StoneRidge Country Club.

It appears the former StoneRidge Country Club’s 117-acre property will be developed into a residential planned community, based on early election results.

The Farm in Poway is a proposed 117-acre housing development from Poway resident Kevin McNamara for the former StoneRidge Country Club property. It has remained closed and unmaintained since November 2017, when current owner Michael Schlesinger’s Measure A ballot initiative for development was rejected by 63 percent of voters.

Poway voters will have the chance in November to vote on what to do with a closed down country club property. The proposal is to turn the space into “The Farm in Poway,” a new community with homes, a garden, open space and more.

Traffic, noise and open space were among the top concerns raised by Powegians at a question-and-answer panel forum on The Farm in Poway on March 1.

An exhaustive draft Environmental Impact Report on a 160-home development proposed on the former StoneRidge County Club property concludes the project would “not result in any significant and unavoidable impacts.”
