Commissioner Gonzales stated that he is conc%rhbd `about skc 'R,i hand smoke

Planning Consultant Donahoe stated t, -,"in"s ea I, with the City's Building
Official, there are regulations for Cigar Lounges and "'Hookah Bars which are
regulated by State Laws and the dissemination of smoke is one of the items that
they are prohibited from doing ~i Attorney Leib stated that because it is
conditionally permitted, the Commis ion reviews an Rues every facility on a
case by case basis, therefore, smoke dtsseminatio might be one of the
provisions for denial in the future.
Commissioner MorsC"er/q-"*~p'~
ted that a. condition be imposed that no smoke
leave the airspapo bf the C ar Lounge/Hooka Bar and noted that he doesn't
think that the use should be;`denied. He ;asked what prompted the mixed use
action Planninq Congdlfa lf Donahoe stated that the City has Commercial Mixed
Use and FtesidetfiaJ Mix VU) se des"fgnations on property throughout the City by
way of li'e Gene ; fin, a E this is the first step to implement development in

0-~Chapter 17.76.035 Standards for Eating and
Dunking Etablishment~ end with respect to sidewalk cafes, asked Public Works
Director Seumalo if this %fequires an Encroachment Permit. Director Seumalo
stated S. Commissioner Morsch asked if this is something that the City should
add to the Municipal Code Section or leave it up to the applicant. Planning
Consultant Donal 66, ,'i ferred to Section 17.86.035b. Also, Public Works Director
Seumalo and City `Attorney Leibold addressed his questions, referring to the
Municipal Code. Commissioner Morsch asked for clarification regarding multi-
story buildings as far as square footage allowance, referring to RMU Residential
Mixed Use Section 17.86.040. Planning Consultant Donahoe suggested adding
the word "or' after 2,420 square feet and leave out "consistent with" so the option
is "2,420 square feet or 18 dwelling units per acre". Commissioner Morsch
agreed to the change. Planning Consultant Donahoe stated that she would do
the same to Exhibit B as well. Commissioner Morsch discussed the density
bonus, and asked who makes the decision regarding qualifying for the density
bonus. Planning Consultant Donahoe explained the qualifications and noted that
the Planning Commission makes the decision regarding qualifying. She noted

that the City wants to encourage these types of project amenities for
development to do this. Commissioner Morsch requested more of a guideline
regarding the standards for the granting of the density. Planning Manager
Morelion suggested leaving it up to staff regarding the recommendation based on
their experience with project design and code. He said the review should be
done on a case-by-case basis.
Commissioner Blake requested clarification of Code Section 17.58 and how that
definition addresses 17.86.060 Density Bonus. City Attorney Leibold explained
that this section refers to affordable housing based on the depth of affordability
and the percentage of the project that is affordable to low or moderate
income households, housing to the elderly or spec11 'r jests with childcare
facilities, referring to State law. Planning Manager Morel'on stated that the mixed
use is a new Ordinance, and the thought is to encotfage new development and
more dense development and try and get the vertical; mixetl use. He noted that
this takes some incentives and staff will try,too vvoJrk it out in`'the design stage.
Staff will do their best to get to that point but"it's up to the Commission to agree.
City Attorney Leibold stated that there` i~ Leglsla ve discretion *,jn~l"`terms of
evaluating a project on a case-by case asis '[lased on those specific
circumstances which are established over time\

iced that it is a great success for mixed

Commissioner,, Blake staY~d that regarding the density bonus, he was not sure of
35 vs. 30 dweliiri uni€s per acre and didn't know if 35 units are too much
because the City'~ofake Elsinore is a rural City. He stated that he agrees with
Commissioner Govt ales regarding the Cigar Lounge being prohibited in the
RMU and suggested keeping it in CMU. He had a question about the Pawn
Shop and didn't know whether it was permitted, because it wasn't clear in the
Mixed Use Land Use Table. Planning Consultant Donahoe stated that the Pawn
Shop is permitted unless it has gun sales, and in that case would require a CUP.
Commissioner Blake stated that he is concerned about an indoor SWAP meet in
a CMU, due to fire hazard and health issues, and requested that it require a CUP
in the commercial zone so that it is City regulated.
Vice Chairman O'Neal stated that he does agree that Hookah Bar's second hand
smoke is a problem; however, he believes that the CUP process could effectively

deal with that. He asked Planning Consultant Donahoe to explain why RMUs
and CMUs are a good idea and asked her to discuss Main Street and what the
City envisions there. He indicated that the Ballpark would be a great place for
RMU/CMU, but since downtown doesn't have live entertainment and very few
restaurants; he's not sure how one invents the other and how this would get
accomplished. Planning Consultant Donahoe explained why the RMU/CMU is so
significant, indicating that we need to decrease our reliance on automobiles; she
went on to say that we need to make the living situation work with services that
are nearby and are within walking distance, or ride a bike and leave the
automobile at home. Part of the Climate Action Plan was to try and implement
this and have areas within the City that would enable su%v;;o velopment to take
place. She noted that the Ballpark District is a perfect2anfple of this kind of
use. She explained that the purpose of the downt~n Master Plan was to
concentrate population that serve commercial buslnessesl,,,~,~,, ake them viable,
and to provide these businesses to the reside so they v±~ a healthy living
environment.
Chairperson Jordan asked why the City i§'allowing 4 Cigar Lounge/ okah Bar
in RMU but not allowing agar/Pub or a Coektal, l 'dbnge in the%RMU. City
Attorney Leibold stated that it relates to noise I~~~Bars and Pubs tend to have
music, louder patrons, whereas the.Cigar Lounge/ cokah Bars are a quieter use.
She noted that it is up to the ,Cornnmission to a recommendation.
Chairperson Jordan stated that she ,,1661191,11,%e. should be treated similarly and
doesn't want them to be prohibited in~EtMUti:Planning_Consultant Donahoe also
stated that bars, pubs and,,cocktail lobl~gs tendo "stay open late and the City
would have to regulate the/, ours of oP~ ation in ttie RMU project. Chairperson
~gZ5, Jordan stated that' Ip the d~ initions, there was Wireless Telecommunications
Facility, but did" t Gave it Included in the`~7able of Mixed Use Land Uses, and
asked why it was left°ot5t Ih~~sultant Donahoe stated that they put

Jordan referred to pa 19 of 40, 17.86.090 Lake Elsinore Municipal Code
Reference,?, and aske ff why they didn't reference any of the Commercial
Districts but ilncluded tl~e Residential districts. Planning Consultant Donahoe
agreed that they should` be included. Vice Chairperson O'Neal seconded
Chairperson Jo daq's comments regarding allowing bars and pubs in mixed use
districts and Indicated that he doesn't believe in roll up sidewalks in RMU
because it's part ofthe scene and the night life of living in those kinds of areas
Commissioner Gonzales stated that he doesn't want the Cigar Lounge/Hookah
Bar, and Cocktail Lounges in RMU. Chairperson Jordan didn't agree with taking
the Cigar Lounge/Hookah Bars out of a RMU and feels that there are appropriate
locations for it. There was more discussion between the Commissioners
regarding Cigar Lounges/Hookah Bars in the RMUs. Commissioner Morsh
stated that he thinks that the mixed use is offering another diverse opportunity for
an environment where people can live and indicated that this is not going to be
imposed Citywide and if you don't want to live next to a bar then you go into a
residential 1 or 2 zoned property. He also asked how you can prevent smoke

coming from units below in residential condominium projects. In addition, he also
noted that this kind of living is not an imposition, it's an opportunity, and if you're
going to build a community, expansion is inevitable. The City should offer
diversity that other communities offer such as mixed use.
Commissioner Blake stated that he thinks there is a difference between a bar, a
pub, and a lounge, as opposed to a restaurant. He would see a restaurant that
has a bar, being below an RMU which is very different than the Bar, Pub,
Cocktail Lounge that can be in the CMU. He referred to downtown Oceanside,
San Diego, which has nice new mixed use and is a good model for the distinction
between food establishments with a bar next to it. There is a, difference between
noise and volume. He stated that he is concerned abo ttie h oor SWAP meet
and doesn't think they should be allowed. He has In;," SSUE with going to 35 units
per acre; he thinks it's too many people. City Attorney Led responded to the
question regarding the density bonus and explainetl that in State's Density
Bonus Law, addressing only the Affordable "ousing, Senlr Housing and
Childcare Facilities, the calculation is such"chat it does mandate that the City
provide a maximum of 35% density bonus, iT ~Recific ~nditions are met:`
City Attorney Leibold suggested summarizing the,i that have been raised,

separate motion. If the majority cast agree on whatever the motion is then that
moves forward as the recommendatrbn to tk1e..City Council;-

CommissionerBj~he requested moving the indoor SWAP meet from permitted to
a CUP. Chairperson Jordan, Commissioner Gonzales, and Commission Morsch
had no objection to this. Vice Chairperson O'Neal stated that his only objection
to requesting a CUP is that it becomes an expensive proposition for people, and
asked how the cost is determined. Planning Manager Morelion reviewed the
costs that the City charges for CUPs. Vice Chairperson O'Neal stated that he
has no objections to Commissioner Blake's request.
Motion was made by Chairperson Jordan, seconded by Vice Chairperson O'Neal
to include Bar, Pub, and Cocktail Lounge in the RMU as a CUP, and to leave the
Cigar Lounge/Hooka Bar as is; Motion passed 3-2.

support the annexation. He showed the Commission the location of his property
and noted that he doesn't agree with the High Density Residential (R-3) being
next to the Low Density Residential (R-E). Planning Consultant Donahoe
addressed Mr. Shaw's concerns and explained why staff chose to put HDR and
MDR (Medium Density Residential) next to LDR in this area. Mr. Shaw stated
that the County's General Plan had no high density at all and he also indicated
that the annexation was put on hold because of the General Plan. He also stated
that he and other residents in the area were not told that the annexation was put
on hold and have a mistrust of the City because of this.

Business Professional (BP) which would becomea problem'fp jim regarding the
way he has his business set up. He explained the rise of his bsp ss and how it
changed due to the economy and requested the Plannin y~ommission
reconsider changing the zone. He intendedMthe business to be a ruler skating
rink but due to the economy divided the p~~ erty, ,,'one side is manufacturing
skate wheels, and the other side is RV repair. H` k ated that eventually once the
economy turns around, he would likg to have a skating rink at the location. He
requested that the Planning Com nlsslen allow ttie land,,use designation be
changed from BP to Commercial'~~ilanu sgturing. Vi, Chairperson O'Neal
explained that it is a pre-existing none pnforCing w e. ,Mr. Labeda stated that he

MacHot~.researched the Coun~!f Riverside's database and confirmed County
approve,and permitted uses. He reviewed the General Plan/Zoning
Compatibtlity°matrix and.although the Council cannot change the General Plan
designation of BP, offered a modification of the proposed C-O zoning on Mr.
Labeda's propertyjo ,CM zoning which would allow the current uses and the
Health Club with ",CUPs in the City. Mr. Labeda had questions regarding the
property's septic system and an easement. Director Seumalo stated that his
would be through the County of Riverside. Mr. Labeda also had questions
regarding a bill board on the property. Planning Consultant MacHott stated that
any signs currently would be through the County of Riverside on-site advertising
requirements.
Mike Matthews, resident on 3rd Street, stated that he has concerns about the
crime, traffic and safety of the residents in the area because the land designation
changed from Low Density Residential to High Density Residential. He is
requesting that the Planning Commission reconsider this small area to change
back to Low Density Residential. Planning Consultant Donahoe explained the

reasoning behind changing the land use designation. There was discussion
between the Commissioners regarding the land use designation in that area.
Planning Consultant MacHott reviewed the area's land use designations and also
discussed the annexation. He reviewed the Residential zoning that would be
consistent with the General Plan and what would be compatible in that area.
Commissioner Morsch stated that he understands the concern because it is a
zone change and is surprised to see this issue come up now. Mr. Matthews
stated that he was just notified of this.
Edwardo Hinojosa, stated that he has lived on Allan Street for 30 years, and
agrees with Mr. Matthews regarding requesting to change the,land designation in
this area.
Commissioner Blake asked Planning Consultarff Met,Hott to explain the
General Plan/Zoning Compatibility Matrix to the Commission City Attorney
Leibold discussed the recommendation that ht 'P"

in that area.

Commissi®rfb Morsch asked Director Seumalo what about the impact of the
annexation and;has there been a cost analysis done. Director Seumalo stated
that there hasp t beer) a cost analysis done and noted that grading will begin
once there is development. Commissioner Morsch asked if there are flood
control issues at th`e north part of this area. Director Seumalo stated that there
are at least 2 significant drainage courses that come through the area but there
are no improvement plans. He indicated that although they are included in the
City's area drainage fees for improvements in the area, it is important to keep in
mind that adjustments to those fees have been made in at least 15 years so the
fees will be significantly less than the cost of the improvements.
Commissioner Gonzales asked about drainage problems in the Ramsgate area
that flooded some homes about 2 years ago. Director Seumalo stated that there
was drainage issues with the apartments adjacent to the Allan Street residence
but was addressed by Public Works. Commissioner Gonzales asked about the

drainage issues on Highway 74. Director Seumalo stated that part of the
drainage issues in the location are related to the realignment of State Route 74
but there are no plans by Cal-Trans to make those adjustments.
Commissioner Morsch stated that inevitably, the City's Animal Control Costs are
going to go up because of a bigger area and more animals. Also, he stated that
he wished that staff would have included in their Staff Report dates of prior
meetings so that the Commission would be aware of issues brought up.
Vice Chairperson O'Neal stated that although he would prefer Residential Estate
(R-E) zoning, he would support the Single-Family zoningthat Mr. Matthews is
requesting and noted that he would support what they 'sidents want for their
area.
