PROJECT DESCRIPTION
COMMERCIAL DESIGN REVIEW
Site Design
The applicant is proposing to construct and operate two (2) medical offices of
approximately 1500 square -feet in conjunction with a 2,000 square -foot pharmacy complex
in the project site. The proposed medical building will be located on the west side of the
site and the two -way circulation and parking will be placed along the east side. The building
will be set back approximately fifty -six and a half feet (56' -6 ") from Lakeshore Drive.
Onsite Circulation and Parking
The project site will have access off of Lakeshore Drive by a twenty- foot (20' -0 ") wide two -
way driveway. A proposed easement will allocate a secondary access driveway between
the project site and the existing commercial center to the west. The parking lot will
incorporate landscape islands and decorative shrubs in order to break up the continuous
parking spaces. Parking spaces will be designed at 90- degree angle, with a twenty sixfoot
(26') two -way drive aisle and typical parking space dimension of nine feet (9) by eighteen
feet (18') with a two foot (2) double stripping as required by the LEMC. The development
will provide two (2) disabled parking spaces pursuant to applicable building codes. The
proposed project also identifies the thirty-foot (30' -0 ") right -of -way along Lakeshore Drive
frontage so as to achieve required ultimate right -of -way widths and associated street
improvements.

COMMERCIAL DESIGN REVIEW NO. 2011 -01
JUNE 7, 2011
Architecture
The applicant is proposing a "Contemporary" architectural style for the building, which is
achieved by the curvilinear walls, selected building materials and roof lines that wrap
around the two (2) circular sections of the building. Additionally, the applicant is also
proposing to accommodate a six and a half foot (6-6 ") tall architectural feature that would
represent a "Medicine Mortar' made of a cement coated foam above the roof line in an
effort to further identify the proposed medical use of the building. Additionally, the applicant
has noted and agreed to have this architectural element removed in the case that there is a
change in the use of the proposed building. Staff has also addressed this as condition
number 9 on the attached conditions of approval.
Colors and Materials
The decorative arched wall and window elements that will be incorporated along the
building elevations of the proposed "Contemporary" building structure will have a clear
insulated glazing, light tan travertine tile wainscot and trims, adobe brown metal roofing,
butterscotch stucco walls and brown wood fascia and columns. The complementing tan
colors that have been chosen will blend in with the adjacent shopping center at the west
and the fast food restaurant to the east.
Landscaping
The applicant is proposing to develop the 17,000 square -foot site with 2,488 square -feet of
landscape, which meets the minimum of fifteen percent (15 %) of the site as required by
section 17.120.070 of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code. The applicant is proposing four
(4) fifteen (15) gallon Myrtle trees, and decorative shrubs over a marathon grass area
along Lakeshore Drive. The parking lot will be enhanced by two (2) fifteen (15) gallon
Indian Hawthorn and several five (5) gallon Indian Hawthorn trees over evergreen flowering
ground cover at each parking lot island. The garden area at the end of the development will
include a gazebo, three (3) fifteen (15) gallon African Sumac trees and a continuous row of
fifteen (15) gallon Laurel Cherry trees over an evergreen flowering ground cover.
ANALYSIS
COMMERCIAL DESIGN REVIEW
Site Design

the (C -1; Neighborhood Commercial) Zoning district including setbacks and lot coverage
and the Non - Residential development standards outlined in Chapter 17.112 of the Lake
Elsinore Municipal Code.
PC June 7, 2011 Item No. 2

COMMERCIAL DESIGN REVIEW NO. 2011 -01
JUNE 7, 2011
Circulation and Parking
The circulation and parking space layout complies with the requirements set forth in Lake
Elsinore Municipal Code Chapter 17.148 (Parking Requirements). Staff has determined
that twenty -five (25) parking spaces are required onsite. A total of twenty -five (25) spaces
have been provided including two (2) handicap accessible parking spaces. In addition,
aisle width and turning radius requirements have both been fully addressed.
Architecture
The applicant has focused on developing a "Contemporary" architectural style by
incorporating curvilinear walls, roofline variations, articulated planes and decorative
elements including selected building materials. Staff believes the proposed "Contemporary'
architectural style will serve as an iconic feature and will create a theme and feel that will
be carried out as the District continues to evolve and develop overtime. Overall, staff feels
that all the architectural elements achieve a unique, one -of -a -kind appearance for a
pharmacy and medical facility.
Colors and Materials
The proposed building colors and materials appropriately interact to produce diversity and
enhance the architectural effects.
Landscaping
The landscape design for the project site complies with the requirements set forth in LEMC
Section 17.120.070. The proposed landscaping improvements serve to enhance the
building design and soften portions of building elevations, provide shade and break -up
expanses of pavement within the parking area. Moreover, the unique park area setting at
the end of the proposed development will result in an attractive amenity to the proposed
project.
Saturday Construction Work
The City's Noise Ordinance prohibits construction activity to be conducted on Saturdays,
Sundays and legal holidays. The applicant is requesting permission to undertake
construction activities, as necessary, on Saturdays so as to maintain the construction
schedule. Staff has no concerns with the request given that no residential uses exist within
close proximity to the subject property. Staff has modified recommended Condition of
Approval No. 7 accordingly; should the Planning Commission choose to approve.

Development Projects), staff has determined that the proposed project will not have a
significant affect on the environment and shall therefore be exempt from the provisions of
CEQA. Therefore, no additional environmental clearance is necessary.

PC June 7, 2011 Item No. 2
Page 7 of 28
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2011 -01
PAGE 2 OF 4
The proposed project is a project under the City's MSHCP Resolution, and the
City must make an MSHCP Consistency finding before approval.
Pursuant to the City's MSHCP Resolution, the project is required to be reviewed
for MSHCP consistency, including consistency with other "Plan Wide
Requirements." The project site is not located within a MSHCP Criteria Cell.
However, based on requirements of the MSHCP, the project is required to be
consistent with Section 6.1.2 Riparian /Revering Areas and Vernal Pool
Guidelines and Section 6.3.2 Critical Area Species Survey Area Guidelines.
2. The proposed project is subject to the City's LEAP and the County's Joint Project
Review processes.
As stated above, the proposed project is not located within a MSHCP Criteria
Cell and therefore it was not processed through a LEAP or Joint Project Review.
3. The proposed project is consistent with the Riparian /Riverine Areas and Vernal
Pools Guidelines.
No revering /riparian areas or vernal pools are present on the project site. The
project is therefore consistent with the Riparian /Riverine Areas and Vernal Pool
Guidelines set forth in Section 6.1.2 of the MSHCP. No further action regarding
this section of the MSHCP is required.
4. The proposed project is consistent with the Protection of Narrow Endemic Plant
Species Guidelines.
Per MSHCP requirements, the project is not subject to the Narrow Endemic Plant

Area Guidelines as set forth in Section 6.3.2 of the MSHCP. Specifically, the
project is subject to Burrowing Owl surveys. The City conducted a habitat
suitability assessment for Burrowing Owl. There is no vegetation on the site and
the soils are highly disturbed. Due to the nature of the disked soils and the lack
of debris or appropriately sized rodent holes, the site would be considered
unsuitable for Burrowing Owls. No further action regarding this section of the
MSHCP is required.
6. The proposed project is consistent with the Urban/Wildlands Interface
Guidelines.
The project is surrounded by existing development or graded parcels planned for
development. Therefore, the Urban/Wildlands Interface Guidelines set forth in
PC June 7, 2011 Item No. 2
Page 8 of 28
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2011 -01
PAGE 3 OF 4
Section 6.1.4 of the MSHCP are not applicable to the project. No further action
regarding this section of the MSHCP is required.
7. The proposed project is consistent with the Vegetation Mapping requirements.
There are no resources existing on site that would be subject to the requirements
of Vegetation mapping set forth in Section 6.3.1 of the MSHCP. No further action
regarding this section of the MSHCP is required.
8. The proposed project is consistent with the Fuels Management Guidelines.
As stated above, the project is surrounded by existing and planned development.
Therefore, the Fuels Management Guidelines as set forth in Section 6.4 of the
MSHCP are not applicable to the project. No further action regarding this section
of the MSHCP is required.
9. The proposed project will be conditioned to pay the City's MSHCP Local
Development Mitigation Fee.
The developer will be required to pay the City's MSHCP Local Development
Mitigation Fee.
10.The proposed project is consistent with the MSHCP.
The project is consistent with all applicable provisions of the MSHCP. No further
actions related to the MSHCP are required.
