building in the middle of a light industrial park located at 18345 Pasadena Street (APN:

further research the applicability and validity of possible Covenants Conditions and
Restrictions (CC &R's) which may prohibit the proposed use onsite. In addition, the
Commission requested that the applicant undertake additional outreach measures with
adjacent property owners.
Discussion
On January 24, 2011, staff received correspondence from the applicant (see attached)
requesting that the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application be withdrawn stating that

Dear Mr Harris:
Please arxcpt this letter as confirmation that we are withdrawing our spplication for the
above mentioned Conditional lase. permit.
Alter careful and complete review of all the facts, we do not believe it is in our beat inter-
ests to pursue this matter any further.
Please note that despite a thorough title starch, and the assistance of a local Realtor, we
were unaware of recorded CC&.M until 2 business days before our hearing. We under-
stand that the City was also unaware of these CC&R's. -' "
We would like to remain in the City of Luke Elsinore and will continue to pursue other
opportunities within the community.
We request that you forward this letter to the City Attorney and distribute this communi-
cation to the Planning Couuniuionera in advance of the next scheduled hearing. We
would also like to express our sincere gratitude to you, City staff and the Planning Com-
missioncrs for their efforts and diligence in this matter.

Re: C.U.P. Animal Crematorium
Planning Commission Members:

I am writing this letter to express my views as to the request for a C.U.P. for an animal crematorium:
The subject parcel is in an industrial complex that has recorded CC &R's that specifically excludes the
intended use stated in the CUP. If the planning commission allows the CUP, this would violate one of
the required areas of mitigation specifically paragraph E of 17.168.060, "This is approving the subject
use at the specific location, there will be no adverse effect on the abutting property on the perimeter
and normal use thereof'. The adverse effect would be litigation that will most likely come about due to
the violations of the CC &R's. For this reason alone I feel the planning commission should vote this
CUP down.
I personally have visited the existing facility and find no fault with the current operation. I also feel that
the use and the way the operator provides it is in great need in the area, but, since CC &R's prohibits
the use in this industrial park I feel it cannot be allowed.
