the public, a majority of the Planning Commission voted to recommend that the City
Council approve Mitigated Negative Declaration 2008 -10, General Plan Amendment No.

Planning Commission voted to approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2008 -15 and Variance
No. 2008 -01.
In addition to the foregoing entitlements, the applicant was also seeking review and
approval of Uniform Sign Program No. 2008 -02. Just prior to the commencement of the
January 20, 2009, Planning Commission meeting, the applicant provided a written request
to the Commission to modify the version of the Sign Program attached to the staff report.
The applicant requested to increase the on -site building signage from one (1) square foot
per linear building foot up to one and a half (1 '' /2) or (2) square feet per lineal building foot.
Discussion

PUBLIC HEARINGS
2. Conditional Use Permit No. 2007 -22 and Industrial Design Review No. 2007 -04.
Recommendation: Denial
Chairman Zanelli opened the Public Hearing at 6:07 p.m.
Planning Consultant Miller provided a brief overview of the project with the
Commission. She noted the project was continued at the Planning Commission
meeting on October 7, 2008. She stated that the applicant has since completed
traffic and noise studies to determine if the project would create any impacts to the
neighboring residential community. She advised the Commission that the applicant
is present and would be available to answer any questions that the Commission may
have.
Mike Dunn, applicant for the project advised the Commission that the driveway has
been relocated at the request of staff and spoke of issues with the earthquake fault
running through the lot. He indicated that a traffic and noise study was conducted
which showed no impacts to the project.
John Treese, Cape Cod Drive, Lake Elsinore spoke in opposition of the project. He
indicated he was representing fifty -four (54) neighbors in the Serenity neighborhood
who are opposed to the project. He indicated that the main reason for opposing the
project was due to the design of the project and the traffic & speeding issues located
on Corydon & Palomar.
Valerie Treese, Cape Cod Drive, Lake Elsinore, spoke in opposition of the project.
She noted that should the project be approved, additional road improvements would
F1 need to be completed at the corner of Corydon onto Palomar.
Public Works Director Seumalo replied, should the project be approved, he would
coordinate the improvements with the Traffic Engineer regarding the site distance
issues.
F1 There being no further comments, Chairman Zanelli brought the discussion back to
the dais for Commissioners comments.
Commissioner O'Neal noted that one of the reasons that the project was continued
at the last Planning Commission meeting was due to zoning issues of the East Lake
Specific Plan.
Acting Community Development Director Weiner indicated the denial of the project
was because the Specific Plan Amendment has not been requested by the
applicant. He stated the East Lake Specific Plan has a Conditional Use Permit
mechanism that would bring the project forward for the Commission to review. He
stated the applicant has not submitted a request for a land use designation change
which is why the denial is being recommended by staff, and staff can't make the
findings for this use in an R -1 zone.
Commissioner O'Neal requested further clarification on the basis of the denial
recommendation.
Acting Community Development Director Weiner replied that in addition to the R -1
situation, there are set back.
Commissioner Gonzales requested clarification on the hours.
Mike Dunn, applicant spoke of the hours for the location. He indicated that there
would be a kiosk installed at the location that would allow access. He stated that a
manager would work part time on site for about forty (40) hours per week. He also
noted that there would be cameras set up for security.
Deputy City Attorney Winterswyk clarified to the Commission the language of
Section 9.2.2 of the East Lake Specific Plan that stated an allowance for other uses
with a Conditional Use Permit. She stated that staff is not adding a dimension to the
property which is zoned residential which keeps the property within the residential
scheme. She stated that the request consists of trying to change a land use by
virtue of a Conditional Use Permit which is why staff is having difficulties making the
Findings necessary to approve the Conditional Use Permit.
Mike Dunn, applicant spoke of a letter that was submitted for the record dated 2001
or 2002 which indicated that the site could be used for a self storage.
Commissioner Mendoza spoke of the two- thousand (2000) hours per year and
asked if it is a guideline or a requirement.
Planning Consultant Miller indicated that she spoke with the Citys Building Official
who indicated that two- thousand (2000) hours would be. the maximum hours
allowed.
Commissioner Mendoza pointed that one of the main issues for this project would be
the graffiti.
Deputy City Attorney Winterswyk discussed at length the Findings required for the
F1 approval of a Conditional Use Permit pursuant to the L.E.M.0 and she stated it may
be possible to make the findings.
Vice - Chairman Flores noted that many years ago there was a signal light at the
location of Corydon and Palomar. He noted that the street lights were a major
benefit because of the safety issues on Corydon. He stated as development enters
into the City, it brings forth changes which could also bring concerns. He expressed
his concerns with the possible tagging of the project should the project be approved.
He suggested that should this project be approved, that conditions be modified to
include road improvements at the corner of Palomar & Corydon.
Chairman Zanelli addressed this concern from the residents of the Serenity
neighborhood. He also expressed his concerns with the speeding on Corydon and
addressed the graffiti concerns. He noted that part of the Conditions of Approval
would include the building to be painted with an anti - graffiti surface. He also
expressed that the project should be heavily landscaped. He addressed the
maximum two- thousand (2000) hours and indicated that this project would be a state
of the art project, and would have an automated entry with surveillance. He
indicated that he feels this project would be an improvement to the area.
(" Chairman Zanelli closed the Public Hearing at 6:51 p.m.
Commissioner O'Neal asked if the environmental study has been completed.
Acting Community Development Director Weiner replied "Yes."
Commissioner O'Neal stated he believes that this project is outside the scope of R-
1, and would like to have this project go through the East Lake Specific Plan rather
than a Conditional Use Permit and returned to the Planning Commission for further
review.
Chairman Zanelli asked Acting Community Development Director Weiner if the
General Plan Update intent is to change the zoning for this project.
Acting Community Development Director Weiner replied "No." He indicated that this
is a Vested Specific Plan and that vested specific plans would not be modified.
Chairman Zanelli asked what the fees would be to amend a specific plan.
Acting Community Development Director Weiner indicated it would be around
$5,000 to $7,000 for planning fees and additional fees for any further environment
analysis that would be required
n Commissioner Gonzales asked if the applicant would need to go through this all over
again should the project be approved.
Acting Community Development Director Weiner replied should the commissioner
want this project to move forward, the Commission would direct staff to bring back
Conditions of Approval and Resolutions. The applicant would also need to provide a
Variance application to address the set back issues. He stated that should the
project be approved at the Planning Commission, the project would then be
presented before the City Council for further discussion.
It was motioned by Commissioner Mendoza, and seconded by Vice - Chairman
Flores to direct staff to provide the Commission with a Resolution and Conditions of
Approval and have the applicant submit a Variance application for this project.

expressed to the Commission that this site is part of the yet- to -be- approved General
Plan Update that is being proposed and the General Plan Update re- designates the
site from low medium residential to general commercial. He indicated that the
commercial project would include a Fresh & Easy Market as well as other shops. He
indicated the project would be constructed into two (2) phases. He noted that
access to the site would be located from two driveways, one located on Lake Street,
and the other on Mountain Street. He expressed to the Commission that a mitigated
negative declaration has been prepared. He noted that he received two letters from
two (2) tribes primarily focused on the needs for tribal monitoring. He advised the
Commission that he had a meeting with Mrs. Jimenez who is present at the meeting.
He indicated a letter from Mrs. Jimenez has been entered into the record. He also
provided to the Commission a letter from the applicant on two Conditions that are
requested to be modified. He noted to the Commission that the applicant is
requesting to modify their Sign Program requirements and indicated a letter from the
applicant outlining the modifications. He advised the Commission that staff

Conditions of Approval. He indicated that the applicant is available to answer any
questions that the Commission may have.
