5. Industrial Project 92 -1 - Norman Industries - Assistant
Planner Villa presented a request for Minor Design Review of
a 36,000 square foot office /warehouse building, located at
32371 Corydon.Road.
Chairwoman Brinley asked if there was anyone representing the
applicant and if there were any concerns.
Mr. Mark Brody, representing Norman Industries, stated that
they support staff's report. He then requested the following
amendments:
Staff Report, Page 3, under ANALYSIS third paragraph last
sentence change the word "finished" to "functional ".
Condition 1, that Minor-Design Review be granted for 2
years, given the flooding conditions.
Condition 27, the language "or conveyed to the Lake
Elsinore Floodplain" be added.
Condition 340 preface condition by -- adding "if
applicable ", because the grading is less than five acres
and this permit does not apply.
Condition 29, questioned the 5% impact. From our
understanding, our impact on that intersection is far
less than the 5 %. Requested relief from the full
assessment.
Mr. Brody then stated that he would answer any questions.
Commissioner Gilenson referred to the letter submitted by Mr.
Brody and asked if he was dropping number 20.a., 28 and 32.
Mr. Brody stated that conditions 28 and 32, are no longer a
concern, will drop. Would like to add condition 20.a.,
regarding landscaping.
Commissioner Wilsey asked if they intend to inhabit this
building when completed, get a Certificate of Occupancy - -use
the building, but not able to do the landscaping.
Mr. Brody responded in the affirmative, stating there is a 6 -7
foot difference and it does seem odd that we could be in the
building and not complete the landscaping. He gave reference
to the contours and stated they are prepared to post a bond.
He then proposed that condition 20.a. read as follows:
Condition 20.a. Given that the proposed landscaping is

within the Lake Elsinore Floodplain and given current
flood conditions scheduling for landscaping for the
project would be as follows: half of the landscaping
would be planted by time of occupancy. Completion of
the landscaping would occur within one year from the date
the Lake Elsinore Outflow Channel is finished. A bond
could be posted with the City.
Chairwoman Brinley suggested the word "finished" be changed to
"functional ".
Commissioner Neff suggested the word "could" be changed to
"shall ".
Discussion ensued on the proposed landscape condition,
preference is for landscaping *and not the posting of a bond;
property . being in the floodplain 'and the results of flooding
upon landscaping.
Commissioner Bullard, r'eferred'to the posted rendering, and
stated the portion that runs along the- Quonset huts and the
chainlink fence between the park must be landscaped. Even if
the Outflow Channel is functional there could still be flood
water at that location. Suggested language "landscaping shall
be completed within one year after flood waters have receded
elevation of planting ".
Commissioner Gilenson commented on:
• Page 2 of the Staff Report, Potential Flooding concerns,
asked if these were referencedcto a particular condition.
• Page 3 of the 'Staff Report, .under Analysis third and
fourth paragraph of the Staff Report, asked if these were
referenced to a particular condition.
Assistant Planner'Villa responded in the negative, and stated
that a condition can be added. City Planner Christen stated
the plans illustrate the building pad elevation and finished
floor elevation.
• Suggested a condition be added, that the construction of
the building will not be initiated until the Outflow
Channel is functional.
• Asked Mr. O'Donnell to address condition 29 and
applicant's letter with regard to 'same.
Mr. O'Donnell addressed the following conditions:
Condition '27, no problem with the modification as
requested.
Condition 29, this development will generate an
additional 200 trips, which is about 4 %. This does not
consider the impacts on other signals which will be
affected and is estimated at 1 %, for a total of 5 %.
Condition 34, no problem with modification if under five
acres. Federal law requires permit if five acres or
more.
Chairwoman Brinley commented on condition number 1, stating
she would like to see it remain as written.

Mr. Norman Brody
Norman Industries,'Inc.'

North Hollywood, Ca. 91606
REQUEST
Design review approval of an office /warehouse building.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to construct a 36,000 square -foot
office /warehouse building. The building will serve as an expansion.
and will provide additional office /storage space to the existing
facility and approved warehouse /office use.
PROJECT LOCATION
The project site is located in the extreme southeast end of the
City. It is approximately 7.58 acres located on the west side of ,
Corydon Road approximately five hundred feet'(5001):south of Como
Street at 32371 Corydon Road. (APN 370- 120 -006)
ENVIRONMENTAL BETTING
BACKGROUND
The site is presently developed with an existing 45,000 square foot
warehouse /manufacturing /showroom metal building, office trailer,
several greenhouse (Quonset huts) buildings used for storage, and
associated parking facilities. This existing metal building was
approved by the City Council in November of 1982 and was
constructed under a Community Development Block Grant loan program
for flood reconstruction as a result of the 1980 floods.
In 1986, I 86 -1 was approved by both, the Planning Commission and
City Council. The approval consisted of an 18,500 square -foot metal
building, to provide additional, warehousing and office for the
facility. Although the building and use were not clearly.allowed

RE: INDUSTRIAL PROJECT NO. 92 -1
in the CP zone, the former Community Development Director
determined the use and building to be in substantial consistency
with the allowed uses in the CP Zone (Exhibit A). The building was
never constructed and approvals are now expired.
SPECIAL PROJECT CONCERNS
Zoning Inconsistency
While reviewing the project background, staff discovered that the
previously approved use and building were not clearly allowed
within the proposed Commercial Park (C -P) Zoning District. The
former Community Development Director determined that the proposed
use was in substantial consistency with the uses allowed by right
under the Commercial Park (C -P) Zoning District (Exhibit A). The
applicant proposes to warehouse commodities such as silk flowers,
oil paintings, and decorative flower boxes, which will be sold to
supermarkets and florist. These uses are permitted in the CP Zone,
but the wholesale and warehousing is not.
potential Flooding
The subject site has no noticeable features and is relatively flat
with one gradually sloping area. It is within an area that is
subject to flooding. The building footprint lies above the 1,265
msl (mean sea level) but below the 1,267 msl (Exhibit "B ").
According to Ordinance No. 858, building structures are permitted
on areas higher than 1,265 msl. To alleviate and /or mitigate
potential flooding, the building pad elevation will.be required to
be 1,266.5 msl and the finish floor will be required to be 1,267
msl.
The parking area lies below the 1,265 msl. According to Ordinance
No. 858, Section 15.68.052, no buildings or improvements, and
artificial changes in the topography are permitted below the 1,265
msl. Paving the parking area would constitute an improvement or
change in topography, therefore would not be permitted.
Engineering and Planning has agreed to allow the parking area to be
constructed of three. inch (311) decomposed granite compacted at 95 %.
Site Plan
Although the three parcels belong to the same owner, the parcel the
building will be built on is landlocked. Staff recommends that
the parcels be combined or an easement be recorded. The Condition
will be worded as follows:
The parcel shall have direct access to public right -of-
way or be provided with a minimum 30 foot ingress and
egress easement to public right -of -way.
Aesthetics
In the past, City Council policy has been 'to discourage the
construction and approval of metal buildings. There are several
special circumstances which warrant the installation of a metal
building on this particular site. These are:.
1. The proximity to an identified potential active
earthquake fault which could create greater damage to a
tilt -up concrete building or masonry building.
2. There already exist a much larger, plain metal building
on the site and adjacent to the site.
AGENDA ITEM NO.
PAGE ID OF 3G
REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
MARCH 3, 1993
PAGE THREE
RE: INDUSTRIAL PROJECT NO. 92 -1
3. The proposed building will be situated behind the already
approved building which will not be visible from any
existing right -of -way.
4. The applicant proposes to shield the building with a
landscape buffer along the sides and rear portions of the
site.
ANALYSIS
Being that the project, as proposed, will be an expansion of the
approved use, will generate approximately thirty (30) jobs and that
the City Council has previously allowed this type of use and
building and has assisted the applicant to obtain grants for the
reconstruction of a building damaged as a result of the 1980
floods, staff does not foresee any other major concerns other than
the above mentioned.
In terms of zoning consistency, the land use remains consistent
with the existing vicinity and approved use.
The construction of the levee has allowed construction above the
1,265 msl. To mitigate potential flooding, the building will be
constructed so that the finish floor exceeds the 1,267 msl
(Exhibit B). Also, the applicant has indicated that the
construction of the building will not be initiated until the
outflow channel is finished.
To alleviate aesthetic concerns, the building will be screened by
a landscaping buffer around the project boundary. Such buffer will
be reviewed by the City's Landscape Architect (Exhibit °F").
In terms of parking, the proposed building will be required to
provide 56 parking spaces. The approved 45,000 square foot
building requires 65 parking spaces for a total of 121 spaces. The
applicant proposes 146 parking spaces which exceeds the
requirements.
An Initial Study was prepared for the above referenced project and
it identified no significant environmental impacts. In accordance
with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), staff
prepared Negative Declaration No`. 93 -1 which states that the
project is not expected to have a significant adverse impact on the
environment.
It is recommended that the Planning Commission recommend the City
Council adopt Negative Declaration No 93 -1, and approve Industrial
Project No. 92 -1 based on Exhibits A thru F, the following Findings
and subject to the attached Condition of Approval.
FINDINGS
1. Subject to the attached conditions of approval, the proposed
projects as defined is not anticipated to result in any
significant environmental impact.
2. This project as proposed and defined is in substantial
compliance with the Goals, Policies and Objectives of the
General Plan.

SCOPE OF ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
This environmental analysis evaluates the potential impacts
resulting from the development of the 36,000 square -foot warehouse
metal building. It takes into consideration that this proposal is
merely an expansion of the already approved industrial use.
Since the project is an expansion of the allowed use, it is not
expected that this development will have a significant adverse
impact on the environment. Furthermore, since the majority of the
surrounding area is already developed with similar uses, it is
believed that effects resulting from this development would be
generally the same as existing conditions. No mitigation measures
are required at this time.
ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),
the following evaluates those issues and topics checked off as
either "yes ", "no ", or "maybe" in the attached environmental
checklist form which pertain to the proposed Historic Downtown Plan
and Design Standards.
As permitted in Section 15150 of the CEQA Guidelines, environmental
documents, including Negative Declarations, can incorporate by
reference all or portions of other documents that are a matter of
public record. The information presented in this Negative
Declaration is based, in part, upon another environmental document
entitled "Environmental Impact Report for the General Plan ",
prepared by PHR in 1990. Copies of this document is available for
review at the Lake Elsinore City Hall; 130 S. Main Street; Lake
Elsinore, California 92530; ph: (909) 674 -3124.

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
NEGATIVE DECLARATION NO. 93 -1
INDUSTRIAL PROJECT NO. 92 -1
1. EARTH
a. No. Although the proposal will require the creation of a
building pad, the building pad will be compacted per the
Engineering Department requirements and as a result should
not result in unstable earth conditions.
b. No. All development disrupt the soil to some degree. For
development of this size and scale, it may cause some
disruption but not to the level of significance.
c. No. Development of the proposed project will require
minimal grading; however, it will not substantially'alter
the existing topography because the area is relatively
flat.
d. No. No unique geologic or physical condition are located
on the site according to the General Plan EIR approved in
1990.
e. No. All development disrupt the soil to some degree. For
development of this size and scale, the disruption is not
expected to be significant.
f. No. No changes in deposition or erosion is expected due to
the fact that the development is only a 36,000 square -foot
metal building.
g. Maybe. The project may expose people or property to
geologic hazards such as earthquakes, landslides,
mudslides, ground failures or similar hazards because the
Wildomar Fault traverses adjacent to the proposed building.
However prior to issuance of building permits, the
applicant will be required to prepare a geologic report and
comply with the Alquist Priolo Act requirements.
2. AIR
a. Maybe. Depending on the amount of traffic generated by the
project, an increase in carbon monoxide and particulate
emissions may occur. The impact is not considered
significant since the air emission from this project is
only an incremental impact to the area's air quality.
b. No. The proposed project should not create any
objectionable odors to the area's climate.
12
AGENDA ITEM NO. �
3D OF NO
C. No. The proposed project should not alter the area's
climate because the proposal is only a metal building.
3. WATER
a. No. No changes in currents or the course or direction of
water movements would +.occur ;with the proposed 36,000
square -foot storage building pad.
b. No. The proposed pad may create some changes in absorption
rates, drainage patterns, or the rate and amount of surface
runoff. However, for a pad this size, it is not
anticipated that the impact' will. be substantial . nor
significant.
'c. No. No changes to the course or flow of floodwaters would
occur. Drainage patterns will continue to flow, to the
streets and channels.
d. No. No changes would occur in =the amount of surface water
in any water body as a result of the .approval of the
project.
e. No. No significant impacts to surface waters or water
quality are anticipated with the approval of the project.
The project is only a.36,000 square -foot metal building.
f. No. The direction or rate of flow of groundwater would not
be directly affected by the approval of the metal building.
g. No. The proposed project will not interfere with the
direction or rate of flow of.ground waters.
h. No.. No substantial reduction in the amount of public water
is 'anticipated as a result of the,-approval of the metal
building.
i. Maybe. Portions of the site are situated. within areas
subject to flooding. The construction of the levee should
mitigate flooding. The pad elevation will_,be raised to
1,270 a.s.l. therefore keeping areas within the storage
building out of flooding exposure.,
.4. PLANT LIFE
a. No. The proposed project would not change the diversity of
species or deterioration of vegetation; the development is
not of a scale or type which - :could significantly affect
these resources. The General Plan EIR. does not identify
species in the vicinity..
b. No. Likewise, -no' unique, rare or endangered species of
plants would be significantly affected.

c. No. No new plant species or barriers to replenishment of
existing plant species would result.
d. No. The proposed project would not reduce acreage for
agriculture crops; the development is not of a. scale or
type which could significantly affect these resources.
5. ANIMAL LIFE
a. No. The proposed project would not change the diversity of
species or numbers of any species of animals including
reptiles, fish and shellfish, benthic organisms, insects,
birds or other land animals; the development would not be
of a scale or type which could significantly affect these
resources.

existing animal species would result.
d. No. There would be no known deterioration of existing fish
or wildlife habitat as a result of the approval of the
project.
6. NOISE
a. No. while construction, the noise level is expected to
temporarily increase. The noise level may increase
depending on the amount of traffic. For development of
this scale, it is not anticipated to be.substantial.
b. No. People would not be exposed to noise levels which
exceed City standards, due to the aforementioned reason.
7. LIGHT AND GLARE
No. The proposed project would not expose people to new light
or glare. The development is not of a scale or type which
could significantly create light and glare effects.
8. LAND USE
No. The proposed project .would not substantially alter
present or planned land uses nor create conflict with any
designations, objectives or policies of any adopted plans of
the City of Lake Elsinore. The proposed 36,000 square -foot
building is an expansion of the allowed use and building
established at that location.

be substantial because of the scale and type. The
traffic generated by this development will be
incremental and it is anticipated that it will not be an
impact to Corydon Road.
b. No. Although the proposed project will require additional
parking, it is not anticipated that the approval of the
proposed project will create parking overspills. The plan
provides an adequate number of parking spaces.
