34. Second Reading - Ordinance No. 1173, Adding Chapter 17.69 to Title 17 of
the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code to prohibit the establishment of medical
marijuana dispensaries in the City of Lake Elsinore.
David Travers, 15081 Joy Street, commented that he was not a drug addict
and was in support of medical marijuana. He further commented that the
State allowed for Cooperatives.
Douglas Lanphere, Lake Elsinore, commented that he was in favor of
medical marijuana. He commented on comments made at a previous
Council meeting regarding medical marijuana. He commented on the
difficulty for patients in the area to fill their prescriptions. He noted the
distance they currently drive to dispensaries located in the desert cities.
Mr. Lanphere commented that Police Chief Fetherolf hastily brought the
item before the Council. He indicated that Police Chief Fetherolf bypassed
the Public Safety Advisory Commission which took an important public
input opportunity away from the patients and advocates.
He noted that collectives and cooperatives could exist under the State law.
He questioned where the City would permit a facility. He indicated that a
comprehensive study and report addressing collectives and cooperatives
should be done by staff.
City Attorney Leibold commented that Council had received both a red line
copy of the Ordinance showing the changes made by staff. She commented
Page 15 City Council Meeting Minutes - March 14,2006
that in the first recital staff referenced both the medical marijuana program
and the Compassionate Use Act. She noted that in the actual text on page 2
of 8 in the LEMC Section 17.69.010, staff only mentioned the
Compassionate Use Act and not the medical marijuana program. She noted
that staff would make the correction in the first section, paragraph A, and
reference both sections 11362.5 and 11362.7.
She noted that the provision that staff added would not conflict with State
Law. She noted that this Ordinance was to prohibit the permitting of
retail/store front type establishments.

35. Request to reconsider Commercial Design Review No. 2005-06 (Canyon
Creek "Summerhill" Specific Plan).
City Manager Brady gave an in-depth overview of the item. He commented
that Council had denied the design review on December 13,2005. He noted
that Council Policy 105-A allowed for an applicant to submit a request for
reconsideration to the City within 10-days. He clarified that the item before
Council was a request for reconsideration and not the actual reconsideration
of the project. He commented that the applicant had significant outreach
with the community since the December 13th meeting.
Jason Leinen, 31520 Sagecrest Drive, commented that he was not there to
represent every resident in the area. He indicated that he was cautiously
optimistic. He thanked Mr. Trivedi on his outreach in the community. He
indicated that there had been involvement from the City leaders to facilitate
the dialogue between Mr. Trivedi and the community. He commented on
the recently passed ordinance preventing parking on Canyon Estates Drive.
He indicated that Mr. Trivedi had committed to some of their requests,
which included a 24-hour security, prohibition ofRV's and semi-trucks, a
policy for boat trailers, signage to encourage customer entrance from
Summerhill Drive, signage to prohibit nonresident parking on side streets
and design the hotel to have a minimum degradation of views to nearby
homes. He further commented that Mr. Trivedi agreed to pay a fair share of
the mello-roos. He expressed his support for the project. He noted that any
further support from the residents was contingent on his commitments
before the next meeting. He requested assistance from staff to ensure the
commitments were enduring and enforceable.
Page 17 City Council Meeting Minutes - March 14,2006
David Moon, Lake Elsinore, thanked Mr. Trivedi and Mayor Magee. He
noted the conditions agreed upon by Mr. Trivedi. He noted that they would
like to have the conditions in place before final approval of the project. He
noted that they agreed to have night security patrol and the residents were
requesting a performance bond be place with the project, which guaranteed
the residents that there would be security patrol. He commented on the no
parking on Canyon Estates Drive. He indicated that they agreed to provide
residents with a 24-hour hotline number if guests from the hotel parked on
Ridgecrest Drive, Saddle Ridge Drive and Boulder Vista Drive. He
commented on signage. He noted that they would like a clearly marked
entrance off Summerhill Drive with signage to help alleviate traffic. He
noted that they were not 100% comfortable with the hotel in their
neighborhood; and they would strongly oppose any future hotels on any of
the remaining lots on Summerhill Drive. He expressed that the residents
were misled about the details of this project.
Kim Cousins, Lake Elsinore Valley Chamber of Commerce President,
commented that the Chamber Board of Directors was very interested in the
project. He noted that the City was in need of hotels.
Sachin Trivedi, Holiday Inn Express, commented that progress was made.
He noted that he made an error by not first addressing the concerns of the
residents. He noted that the conditions were fair.
Mayor Magee thanked the residents of the Summerhill area. He commented
that Mr. Dixon was a major part in the communication process. He noted it
was through communication that all parties were able to get to this point.
Councilmember Buckley suggested that if the reconsideration was approved,
that Mr. Trivedi continued to meet with the residents.
Councilmember Hickman suggested that all the items be placed in writing.

Councilmember Kelley commended the residents and Mr. Trivedi on the
progress made. She noted that she was in support of the project. She
expressed her concerns of misinformation in the community.
Mayor Magee commented that the mello-roos issued would need to be

time. He indicated that he had met with members of the Wildomar
community and they had expressed a desire to speak with the Council about
their efforts for city-hood. He noted that he had also spoke with George
Spiliotis, Director ofLAFCO. He commented that Mr. Spiliotis had agreed
to meet with the Council on March 30th and give a presentation on the
LAFCO process, Wildomar's attempt for city-hood and answer questions.
Councilmember Buckley commented that a presentation from both LAFCO
and Wildomar Incorporation Now (WIN) was a good idea. He suggested 15
minutes for each presentation.
Mayor Magee agreed.
Mayor Pro Tern Schiffner noted that he would be interested in the
information provided by the officials that knew the rules and the process.
He did not have as much interest in the comments of the Wildomar
committee. He explained that it was not the City's business.
Councilmember Kelley noted that she would also like a presentation by
LAFCO explaining the process. She noted the Wildomar city-hood or
sphere of influence should be filtered through the General Plan Advisory
Committee (GPAC). She noted the annexation and the LAFCO process
were separate issues.
Mayor Magee noted that the WIN committee had spoken with staff and there
was a misunderstanding about the proposed sphere of influence. He
indicated that he would like to end the misunderstanding and improve the
communication.
Councilmember Buckley clarified that there would be a presentation from
LAFCO, The WIN Committee and GP AC.
Mayor Magee questioned the presentation from GP AC.
Councilmember Kelley indicated that she would be interested in their
comments.
