Land Use Consistency
The subject property is located within the Historic Downtown Elsinore Overlay District
boundary and has a zoning designation of (NC) Neighborhood Commercial. Provisions of
the Overlay District specify that allowable uses are those uses otherwise permitted in the
underlying zoning district. The underlying zoning district on the subject property is (C -1)
Neighborhood Commercial. LEMC Section 17.120.010 identifies the following purpose for
the C -1 zone:
"To provide locations for general retail and office uses which offer the sale of goods
and services to the general public and which, through characteristics of their
operation, serve primarily the day -to -day shopping needs of local residents"
While tattoo /body piercing establishments are not specifically listed as eithera permitted or
conditional use within the C -1 zone, LEMC Section 17.120.030.N allows the Planning
AGENDA ITEM 2-
PAGE a OF 13
Conditional Use Permit No. 2009 -04
April 21, 2009
Page 3 of 5
Commission to permit other uses not specifically listed as conditional uses in the C -1 zone
when the use is determined to be in accord with the purpose of the zoning district and has
similar characteristics to those uses currently listed.
Pursuant to Section 119300 of the California Health and Safety Code (HSC) "tattooing
means to insert pigment under the surface of skin of a human being, by pricking with a
needle or otherwise, to produce an indelible mark or figure visible through the skin ".
Furthermore, "body piercing means the creation of an opening in the body of a human
being for the purpose of inserting jewelry or other decoration. This includes, but is not
limited to, piercing of an ear, lip, tongue, nose or eyebrow. Body piercing does not include
piercing an ear with a disposable, single -use stud or solid needle that is applied using a
mechanical device to force the needle or stud through the ear."
Staff has reviewed both the permitted and conditional uses listed for the Neighborhood
Commercial (C -1) zone. The closest related use to a tattoo /body piercing establishment is
a personal service establishment such as a beauty or barber shop which are both allowed
as permitted uses in the C -1 zone.
The similarities between beauty /barber shops and tattoo /body piercing establishments
include method of operation (e.g. employee serving seated customer on an appointment or
walk -in basis), type of service (e.g. personal grooming for aesthetic /cosmetic purposes)
and requirements for licensure /registration of employees.
The differences between beauty /barber shops and tattoo /body piercing establishments
include appropriate age requirements for receiving service at a tattoo /body piercing
establishment, the greater frequency of tattoo /ear piercing establishments that operate
during nighttime hours and the need for screening of tattoo /ear piercing activities from the
view of the general public. Given these differences, tattoo/ body piercing establishments
should be allowed only as a conditional use within the Neighborhood Commercial (C -1)
zoning district. The conditional use permit provides a greater degree of control, allowing
each application to be evaluated on an individual basis.
Therefore, staff recommends that the Planning Commission find tattoo /body piercing
establishments in accord with the purpose of the C -1 zone and as having characteristics
similar to other conditional uses in the zone.
Proposed Use & Operational Parameters
The applicant has proposed two location options for the tattoo /body piercing operation
within the existing building. Option 1 locates the entire operation within the approximately
575 square -foot basement of the building with the main floor being used exclusively for the
retail clothing store. Option 2 proposes the tattoo /body piercing operation to be located in
AGENDA ITEM I
PAGE 3 OF _M
Conditional Use Permit No. 2009 -04
April 21, 2009
Page 4 of 5
an approximately 265 square -foot area at the rear of the store on the main floor of the
building with the basement being used exclusively for storage.
The City's Building and Safety Department representatives have inspected the building and
it has been determined that the building's basement cannot be used by the general public
for the following reasons: 1)The basement is not ADA accessible; 2) The area lacks fire
safety improvements and; 3) The basement does not have adequate heating and cooling
equipment. Consequently, the City's Building and Safety Official has determined that the
basement can only be used for storage purposes.
The applicant's operational statement indicates that the applicant and two independent
tattoo /body piercing contractors will operate the business at any one time. In addition, the
statement indicates that the days and hours of operation will be Sunday - Saturday from 10
a.m. — 6 p.m. The applicant anticipates approximately three tattoo /body piercing customers
per day. Surveillance video cameras will be installed and operated.
Analysis
Given the unique issues associated with tattoo /body piercing establishments, staff is
recommending a variety of conditions of approval including but not limited to age
restrictions for receiving service, prohibition of body piercing below the waist and the full
screening of the tattoo /body piercing operations within the retail establishment.
Staff believes the proposed use, with the attached conditions of approval, meets all
applicable development standards and criteria outlined in both the (NC) Neighborhood
Commercial and (C -1) Neighborhood Commercial Zoning Districts and Chapter 17.74
(Conditional Use Permits) of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC).
Environmental Determination
The Project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal.
Pub. Res. Code §§21000 et seq.: "CEQA ") and the CEQA Guidelines (14 C.C.R.
§§ 15000 et seq.), specifically pursuant to Section 15301 (a) (Existing Facilities). The
Project proposes to operate a tattoo /body piercing establishment within an existing retail
commercial building. The site is fully developed and only minor interior alterations are
planned in association with the proposed use.
Recommendation
a. Adopt a Resolution No. 2009 - adopting findings that the project is consistent
with the Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan; and,

consistency with the MSCHP's other "Plan Wide Requirements." The Project site
is fully developed and all on -site improvements are incorporated, and no habitat
is present on site.
2. The Project is subject to the City's LEAP and the County's Joint Project Review
processes.
As stated above, the Project is not located within a Criteria Cell and therefore the
Project was not processed through a Joint Project Review.
3. The Project is consistent with the Riparian /Riverine Areas and Vernal Pools
Guidelines.
The Project site is already developed. A reconnaissance survey revealed that no
riparian, riverine, vernal pool /fairy shrimp habitat or other aquatic resources exist
on the site. As such, the Riparian /Riverine Areas and Vernal Pool Guidelines as
set forth in Section 6.1.2 of the MSHCP are not applicable.
4. The Project is consistent with the Protection of Narrow Endemic Plant Species
Guidelines.
The site does not fall within any Narrow Endemic Plant Species Survey Areas.

set forth in Section 6.1.3 of the MSHCP are not applicable to the Project.
5. The Project is consistent with the Additional Survey Needs and Procedures.
The MSHCP only requires additional surveys for certain species if the Project is
located in Criteria Area Species Survey Areas, Amphibian Species Survey Areas,
Burrowing Owl Survey Areas, and Mammal Species Survey Areas of the
MSHCP. The site is fully developed and all on -site improvements are
incorporated. Therefore, the provisions of MSHCP Section 6.3.2 are not
applicable.
6. The Project is consistent with the UrbanNVildlands Interface Guidelines.
The Project site is not within or adjacent to any MSHCP criteria or conservation
areas. Therefore, the Urban/Wildlands Interface Guidelines of MSHCP Section
6.1.4 are not applicable.

SECTION 3. That in accordance with State Planning and Zoning Law and the
Lake Elsinore Municipal Code, the Planning Commission makes the following findings
for approval of CUP No. 2009 -04:
1. The proposed use, on its own merits and within the context of its

recreational and institutional land uses. The proposed land use conforms to the
objectives of the General Plan and the planning district in which the site is
located.
2. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the general health,
safety, comfort, or general welfare of persons residing or working within the
neighborhood of the proposed use or the City, or injurious to property or
improvements in the neighborhood or the City.
All applicable City departments and agencies have been afforded an opportunity
to review the use permit and recommend various conditions of approval as set
forth in the conditions of approval attached to the staff report for this CUP.
Conditions have been applied relating to the proposed use, so as to eliminate
any negative impacts to the general health, safety, comfort, or general welfare of
the surrounding commercial development and the City.
3. The site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to
accommodate the use, and for all the yards, setbacks, walls or fences,
landscaping, buffers and other features required by Title 17 of the Lake Elsinore

The proposed Conditional Use Permit is for the operation of tattoo /body piercing
establishment as an accessory use to be located within an retail store known as
`The Velvet Vault' at 138 N. Main Street (APN: 373 - 024 -020). The proposed

use meets all applicable sections of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code and will
compliment the existing uses, based on the submitted plans and attached
conditions of approval.
4. The site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways with
proper design both as to width and type of pavement to carry the type and
quantity of traffic generated by the subject use.
