Approve a resolution recommending to the City Council approval of the
Amendment to the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code, Title 17 - Zoning,

Residential Mixed-Use District and Chapter 17.134 - CMU Commercial
Mixed-Use District.
Planning Consultant Donahoe presented the Staff Report.
Commissioner Gonzales stated that he is concerned about second hand smoke
from the Cigar Lounge/Hookah Bar and it should be prohibited for the mixed use.
Planning Consultant Donahoe stated that in speaking 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. City Attorney Leibold stated that because it is
conditionally permitted, the Commission reviews and approves every facility on a
case by case basis, therefore, smoke dissemination might be one of the
provisions for denial in the future.
Commissioner Morsch requested that a condition be imposed that no smoke
leave the airspace of the Cigar Lounge/Hooka Bar and noted that he doesn't
think that the use should be denied. He asked what prompted the mixed use
action. Planning Consultant Donahoe stated that the City has Commercial Mixed
Use and Residential Mixed Use designations on property throughout the City by
way of the General Plan, and this is the first step to implement development in
these zones. He also referred to Chapter 17.76.035 Standards for Eating and
Drinking Establishments, and with respect to sidewalk cafes, asked Public Works
Director Seumalo if this requires an Encroachment Permit. Director Seumalo
stated yes. 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 Donahoe referred 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
City of Lake Elsinore
Planning Commission Regular Meeting
Minutes of March 20, 2012
Page 3 of 12
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 very low or moderate
income households, housing to the elderly or specific projects with childcare
facilities, referring to State law. Planning Manager Morelion stated that the mixed
use is a new Ordinance, and the thought is to encourage new development and
more dense development and try and get the vertical mixed use. He noted that
this takes some incentives and staff will try to work 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 is Legislative discretion in terms of
evaluating a project on a case-by-case basis based on those specific
circumstances which are established over time.
Commissioner Morsch stated that he agrees with the provision for mixed use but
is concerned about parking and would like parking structures as an integral part
of the development. Planning Consultant Donahoe stated that part of the mixed
use concept is that the development provides services for the residents who are
going to be living there. The RMU is primarily residential and there will be 20 -
30 percent commercial in the project, therefore enabling people to walk to the
facilities. If the commercial development is larger and they want to cater to
outside sources, then the City requires the parking. Commissioner Morsch
referred to Pasadena Old Town and noted that it is a great success for mixed
uses and indicated that the City of Lake Elsinore has to anticipate that it will have
outsiders coming in and they need a place to park. He requested parking
structures.
Commissioner Blake stated that regarding the density bonus, he was not sure of
35 vs. 30 dwelling units per acre and didn't know if 35 units are too much
because the City of Lake Elsinore is a rural City. He stated that he agrees with
Commissioner Gonzales 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 such development to take
place. She noted that the Ballpark District is a perfect example of this kind of
use. She explained that the purpose of the downtown's Master Plan was to
concentrate population that serve commercial businesses to make them viable,
and to provide these businesses to the residents so they have a healthy living
environment.
Chairperson Jordan asked why the City is allowing a Cigar Lounge/Hookah Bar
in RMU but not allowing a Bar/Pub or a Cocktail Lounge in the RMU. City
Attorney Leibold stated that it relates to noise level. Bars and Pubs tend to have
music, louder patrons, whereas the Cigar Lounge/Hookah Bars are a quieter use.
She noted that it is up to the Commission to make a recommendation.
Chairperson Jordan stated that she feels they should be treated similarly and
doesn't want them to be prohibited in RMU. Planning Consultant Donahoe also
stated that bars, pubs, and cocktail lounges tend to stay open late and the City
would have to regulate the hours of operation in the RMU project. Chairperson
Jordan stated that in the definitions, there was Wireless Telecommunications
Facility, but didn't have it included in the Table of Mixed Use Land Uses, and
asked why it was left out. Planning Consultant Donahoe stated that they put
definitions in to show that they were specifically omitted but indicated that they
didn't want the Telecommunication Poles in the RMU and CMU. Chairperson
Jordan referred to page 19 of 40, 17.86.090 Lake Elsinore Municipal Code
Reference, and asked staff why they didn't reference any of the Commercial
Districts but included the Residential districts. Planning Consultant Donahoe
agreed that they should be included. Vice Chairperson O'Neal seconded
Chairperson Jordan'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 of the 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
City of Lake Elsinore
Planning Commission Regular Meeting
Minutes of March 20, 2012
Page 5 of 12
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 about the indoor SWAP meet
and doesn't think they should be allowed. He has an issue with going to 35 units
per acre; he thinks it's too many people. City Attorney Leibold responded to the
question regarding the density bonus and explained that in the State's Density
Bonus Law, addressing only the Affordable Housing, Senior Housing and
Childcare Facilities, the calculation is such that it does mandate that the City
provide a maximum of 35% density bonus, if specific conditions are met.
City Attorney Leibold suggested summarizing the issues that have been raised,
specifically, Cigar Lounges/Hooka Bars, Pubs, and SWAP meets and have a
separate motion. If the majority can agree on whatever the motion is then that
moves forward as the recommendation to the City Council.
Planning Consultant Donahoe stated that she reviewed the following changes
based upon what the Commission requested and will be part of the Motion.
Section 040 of both 17.86 and 17.134, Section A & B and Section A in
Commercial; change the way the language is written. Also, in the last Section
.090, references to Commercial Sections of the City's existing Code will be
added and in the same Section under Commercial, Residential Standards will be
added to that. In the Matrix; add the street frontage at 10 feet and the coverage
at 50 percent or greater for Commercial and 70 to 80 percent or greater for
Residential.
Commissioner Blake 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.

Chairperson Jordan left the dais and recused herself from this Item because she
lives in close proximity to the area and indicated that Vice Chairperson O'Neal
would take over.
Planning Consultant MacHott presented the Staff Report. He noted that
additionally, staff received a letter from Bruce Eichorn regarding the 3rd Street
Annexation which was distributed to the Commission. Although the letter states
that it is in regards to the 3rd Street Annexation which includes Mr. Eichorn's
property, it does not address the annexation but addresses Wasson Canyon
Road. Planning Consultant MacHott stated that Director Seumalo is available to
answer any questions regarding the letter.
Vice Chairperson O'Neal asked Planning Consultant MacHott about SB244 and
whether this complies with its requirements. Planning Consultant MacHott
explained SB244 and to applicability to the 3rd Street Annexation. City Attorney
Leibold also addressed Vice Chairperson O'Neal's questions regarding S13244.

REQUESTS TO SPEAK
Gary Washburn, resident in Lake Elsinore, stated that he is a land owner in the
proposed annexation and is representing a land owner that owns a property in
that area as well. He stated that he supports the annexation and explained why.
Lonnie Shaw, stated that he lives on 3rd Street and has lived there for more than
35 years and moved there to be in a rural area. He stated that he doesn't
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.
Curtis Labeda stated that he owns a commercial property on Ohana Circle and
noted that 15 years ago he got approved for a CUP through the County of
Riverside. He indicated that the current zone is Manufacturing-Service
Commercial (M-SC) and the City is proposing to turn the designation into
Business Professional (BP) which would become a problem for him regarding the
way he has his business set up. He explained the use of his business and how it
changed due to the economy and requested the Planning Commission
reconsider changing the zone. He intended for the business to be a roller skating
rink but due to the economy divided the property, one side is manufacturing
skate wheels, and the other side is RV repair. He stated that eventually once the
economy turns around, he would like to have a skating rink at the location. He
requested that the Planning Commission allow the land use designation be
changed from BP to Commercial Manufacturing. Vice Chairperson O'Neal
explained that it is a pre-existing non-conforming use. Mr. Labeda stated that he
wasn't sure what that meant. City Attorney Leibold explained this to him and
stated that his existing operations would be allowed to continue but a prior
entitlement that has been abandoned for 7 years would not be permitted unless it
is permitted by the designation. Mr. Labeda indicated that he spent $400,000
dollars to turn it into an exercise facility or a skating rink and indicated that in
order to keep the property; he had to modify the business to survive. He stated
that eventually he would like to have a skating rink. Planning Consultant
MacHott researched the County of Riverside's database and confirmed County
approvals and permitted uses. He reviewed the General Plan/Zoning
Compatibility 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 property to 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
City of Lake Elsinore
Planning Commission Regular Meeting
Minutes of March 20, 2012
Page 8 of 12
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 Consultant MacHott to explain the
General Plan/Zoning Compatibility Matrix to the Commission. City Attorney
Leibold discussed the recommendation that the Planning Commission can make
to City Council regarding changing the land use designation for both properties to
be consistent with the General Plan. Commission Blake suggested Commercial
Mixed Use/Medium Density Residential but doesn't like High Density Residential
in that area.
Commissioner Gonzales stated that he doesn't like that the land use is
designated for High Density Residential in that area and suggested Single Family
Residential.
Commissioner Morsch stated that since there isn't the option of Commercial
Office or another use he would like to accommodate the residents that are
requesting the change and would like to recommend Single Family Residential
zoning and referred to City Attorney Leibold for council regarding this. City
Attorney Leibold stated that as long as the City zoning is consistent with the
General Plan designation because this is the first incident with imposing zoning,
there shouldn't be any issues.
Commissioner Morsch asked Director Seumalo what about the impact of the
annexation and has there been a cost analysis done. Director Seumalo stated
that there hasn't been a cost analysis done and noted that grading will begin
once there is development. Commissioner Morsch asked if there are flood
control issues at the north part of this area. Director Seumalo stated that there

Planning Commission Regular Meeting
Minutes of March 20, 2012
Page 9 of 12
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 zoning that Mr. Matthews is
requesting and noted that he would support what the residents want for their
area.
Motion was made by Commissioner Gonzales, seconded by Commissioner
Blake to approve Resolution No. 2012-16, a Resolution of the Planning
Commission of the City of Lake Elsinore, California, recommending to the City
Council of the City of Lake Elsinore approval of Pre-annexation Zone Change
No. 2012-01 subject to completion of the Annexation No. 81 with the following
changes; Motion passed 4-0.
• Change High Density Residential (R-3) to Single
Family Residential (R-1) (3rd Street location)
• Change the Medium Density Residential (R-2) along
Cambern Avenue to Single-Family Residential
(R-1).
• Property on Ohana Circle to be changed to
Commercial Manufacturing (CM) instead of

Chairperson Jordan returned to the dias and asked City Attorney Leibold to
present the Staff Report.
City Attorney Leibold presented the Staff Report.
Vice Chairperson Jordan asked how the City makes sure that the 24 acre park
doesn't fall through the cracks again. City Attorney Leibold stated that the 24
acre park is designated on a specific plan and City Council is having discussions
with McMillin, the project's developer, who will be fully improving the park to a
much higher level than would have otherwise been done with the multiple parks.
She also indicated that there will be a contractual agreement between the City
and the developer.
Vice Chairperson O'Neal asked when the 24 acre regional park will be built. City
Attorney Leibold stated that the proposal is to build the park in 3 phases. The
applicant, Don Mitchell, McMillin Land Development, stated that the park will be
completed in 2 years.
Vice Chairperson O'Neal stated that that a few school trustee members were not
in favor of any schools in that area and wanted to confirm with City Attorney
Leibold that it wouldn't be a problem. City Attorney Leibold stated that there is
one board member that is opposed to a school site in the location but staff and
the remainder of the board are interested in continuing discussions.
Commissioner Morsch asked if the property is relinquished to the School District,
will there be a cost. City Attorney Leibold stated that the City will reconvey the
property to McMillin which is a private transaction between McMillin and the
School District. Commissioner Morsch stated that there are costs of grading,
hydro seeding, amenities, etc. and asked if those costs would be transferred to
the 24 acre park. Mr. Mitchell explained the costs. Commissioner Morsch asked
what the upgrades were to the park. Mr. Mitchell stated that they are proposing a
skate park, a dog park, 4 baseball fields (2 that are lit), soccer field, a lit tennis
court, 2 half court basket ball courts, restrooms; concession stands, parking lot
and an access road off of Malaga, and noted that the skate park alone is $1
million dollars. Commissioner Morsch stated that he doesn't see any problems
with conformity to the General Plan.
