SUBJECT: ZONE CODE AMENDMENT NO. 2012-01 - A REQUEST TO
AMEND PORTIONS OF CHAPTERS 17.08, 17.20, 17.104 AND
17.128 OF THE LAKE ELSINORE MUNICIPAL CODE TO
IMPLEMENT RESIDENTIAL BOAT DOCK STANDARDS.
APPLICANT: CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, 130 SOUTH MAIN STREET, LAKE
ELSINORE, CA 92530
Backaround
On May 1, 2012, the Planning Commission considered the subject Zone Code Amendment
to amend Title 17 (Chapters 17.20, 17.104 and 17.128) of the Lake Elsinore Municipal
Code (LEMC) to allow residential boat docks as a "permitted use" in the Lakeshore Overlay
District (L), Recreational District (R), and Commercial Park District (C-P) if the docks
comply with the provisions outlined in the proposed Safety and Construction Standards for
Residential Docks ("Dock Standards"). Any residential boat dock not complying with the
Standards may still be allowed within all of the above-referenced zones subject to review
and approval of a Minor Design Review (MDR). An amendment was also proposed to the
Definitions chapter (Chapter 17.08) to provide key definitions that apply to the
development, design, and construction of residential boat docks.
At the May Planning Commission hearing, a number of lakeshore residents spoke in
opposition of the Dock Standards. The majority of the residents that attended the meeting
were from the County side of the Lake and believed only the County had authority to
regulate their docks. The residents also believed the Dock Standards needed to be
modified to address their concerns. After a significant amount of dialog between the
Planning Commission and residents, the Planning Commission chose not to act on the
PC June 5, 2012 Item No. 6

project until the Dock Standards Subcommittee had a chance to review the additional
public comments received. Subsequently, the Planning Commission voted 5-0 to continue
the project to the June 5, 2012 Planning Commission meeting.
The lakeshore property owners identified the following concerns, which are further
discussed below:
• Docks placed by County residents should be permitted by the County;
• No Docks should be allowed on vacant land;
• Standard anchoring system for floating docks is unsafe;
• Maximum length of docks should be increased;
• Maximum width of docks should be increased;
• Permanent piling and stiff-armed anchored docks should be permitted;
• Mobile pipe anchoring system should be permitted;
• Revise definition for Roll-in Type docks;
• The elevation for required removal of docks should be increased;
• Remove listing City as "additionally" insured from insurance requirement; and
• Fees not clear.
Discussion
Over the last few weeks, the Dock Standards Subcommittee met twice to discuss the
public comments that were brought up by the lakeshore residents at the Planning
Commission meeting. The Subcommittee also reviewed two emails that were received
from property owners outlining their concerns relating to the current Dock Standards. The
outcome of the Subcommittee meetings and subsequent revisions to the Boat Dock
Standards are further discussed below.
County Permitting of Docks: County Staff from the Transportation & Land
Management Agency recently stated that the County does not permit docks
below an elevation of 1,265' above Mean Sea Level on shoreline property
abutting Lake Elsinore. Furthermore, the County's standard practice is to defer
to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to permit docks on the Colorado River,
even though they are located in the County of Riverside.
Docks on Vacant Land: The Subcommittee decided that vacant property owners
should be permitted to place a dock on or over the surface waters of Lake
Elsinore based on the following factors.
a. Docks are a fundamentally different type of structure.
b. A dock is not a permanent structure.
c. Docks are primarily placed on or over the surface waters of the Lake and
not permanently affixed to the land.
d. History of existing shoreline property owners enjoying this use.
PC June 5, 2012 Item No. 6

Zone Code Amendment 2012-01
June 5, 2012
Page 3 of 4
e. Docks are a common and expected feature along lakes, with minimal
visual impacts from conforming docks.
• Standard Anchoring for Floating Docks (#40 (b) The Subcommittee provides
an approved alternative anchoring system for floating docks based upon the
design by a Marine Engineer for the docks at the City's Seaport Boat Launch.
• Maximum Length of Docks (#21): The Subcommittee decided the maximum
length for a "standard" dock should be sixty (60') feet. This should suffice the
vast majority of shoreline property owners. Applicants proposing non-standard
docks must seek an exemption through the Minor Design Review process.
• Maximum Width of Docks (#21): The Subcommittee decided the maximum
width for a "standard" dock should be eight (8) feet. This should suffice the vast
majority of shoreline property owners. Applicants proposing non-standard docks
must seek an exemption through the Minor Design Review process.
• Fixed Piling Anchored Docks (#13 & #14): The Subcommittee decided that
permanently fixed piling or stiff-armed anchored docks should be prohibited from
the "standard", due to aesthetics and extreme hydrology of Lake Elsinore. Such
pilings would need to be excessively tall and spatially distant to cope with the
widely fluctuating elevations of Lake Elsinore.
• Portable Piling Anchored Docks (#14): Portable piling or stiff-armed anchored
docks are permitted under the standards.
• Definition for Roll-in Type Docks: The Subcommittee amended the definition to
allow greater flexibility in the design by deleting "upright poles" and inserting
"elements" in the definition.
• Removal of Docks for Flood Event (#20): The Subcommittee amended the
requirement for removal of all docks during the 100-Year Flood Event.
• Insurance for Docks (#50): The Subcommittee amended the insurance
requirement by deleting the "listing of the City as additional insured" and restated
an indemnity clause.
• Application & Annual Fees (Page 11): The "Dock Application Fees" has already
been established under the Building & Safety Permit Fee Schedule and is
consistent with fees for other structures. The Annual Permit Fee needs to be
adopted by resolution by the City Council. Fees are not typically made part of
an ordinance. Staff believes the fees are clear as stated on Page-11 of the
standards.

The City estabhsie standards for residential private boat docks to inform shoreline property
owners of the miniri~sequirerrenf5,needed to obtain a permit for placing a residential dock on
Lak Elsinore. In addiiolhe City desires to streamline the permitting process of an "Application
for o". sidential Private,' ck Peqtfit" provided the application substantially conforms to the
The submittal of,an "Application for a Residential Private Dock Permit" shall be processed through
the Building ,5afety,Division, with review and approval by the Planning Division and Lake
Department. The revieCv period for a standard residential dock permit is estimated at ten (10)
working days. The;cdst of the Residential Private Dock Permit is based upon the valuation of the
boat dock. 4 `
Pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 15.76, a shoreline property owner within the City or County
desiring to place a non-standard residential dock on the waters of Lake Elsinore must request an
exemption by completing and submitting an application for a Minor Design Review (MDR) to the
Planning Division. The time to process a permit for a non-standard dock varies and depends upon
the complexity of the application submittal. The Planning Commission will review the application,
then consider whether to "approve" or "deny" a MDR for the non-standard residential dock.
