health and requested that his wishes along with Mr. Flanagan and Trumark, be
granted in having their property annexed into the City of Lake Elsinore.
Kathy Uraine was not present when called upo~ to address Council.
James O'Malley, Trumark Company, 9911 Irvine Center Drive, Irvine
commented on job duties. He noted that the vote before Council was to annex
the property back into the City of Lake Elsinore. He noted that the vote was
not for a land-use plan or tentative map or the impacts of that tentative map.
He commented on the February 21st Planning Commission Meeting. He
commented on a letter dated March 13th from the Executive Director of
LAFCO. The letter stated that the annexation would not affect Wilodmar's
application for city-hood. The letter also stated that the best case time frame
regarding an election for the Wildomar efforts was March 2007. Furthermore

Agenda Item No. 1 a
Page 11 of 39
Page 12 - City Council Meeting Minutes -April 11, 2006
Councilmember Buckley commented that the City of Lake Elsinore had not
approached any property owner's to annex into the City out of Wildomar. He
noted the City was currently pursuing one annexation, which was located in the
area around COSTCO and part of the County near Highway 74.
Councilmember Buckley commented that there was currently 2,800 houses left
to build in Canyon Hills and he was not sure how another couple hundred
would negatively impact the area.
Councilmember Buckley noted that if Trumark decided to build in the County,
the sales tax dollars would go to the Canyon Hills shopping center which was
located in the City.
Councilmember Buckley expressed his confidence that this annexation would
not have a negative impact on Wildomar's future city-hood.
Councilmember Hickman inquired if there wo~ld be an assessment if
Wildomar became a City to afford Police, Fire and Paramedic Services.
City Attorney Leibold commented that part of the LAFCO analysis, in respect
to the city-hood application, would be if the proposed City could provide
adequate municipal services. She noted that there were a variety of
mechanisms on how the services were financed. She commented that LAFCO
would not approve an incorporation unless adequate municipal services were
provided.
Councilmember Hickman commented that he had breakfast with the WIN
committee and he commented that he was feeling neutral. He commented that
later he received threats. He also commented that the annexation would not
affect Wildomar's city-hood. He commented that the City backed Wildomar
and helped stopped the annexation Murrieta was proposing so they could
determine their own future. He commented that, along with Councilmember
Buckley, they reformed the City when they were elected into office.

Wildomar representatives. He commented that he visited the site. He
requested that City Attorney Leibold address the issue of the Brown Act
violation. '
City Attorney Leibold commented that at the Planning Commission Meeting
Agenda Item No. 1 a
Page 12 of 39
Page 13 - City Council Meeting Minutes -April 11, 2006
there was no Brown Act violation. She commented that the item was heard
and the staff recommendation involved four actions. She indicated that the
items were the Mitigated Negative Declaration, General Plan Amendment, Pre-
Zone and the Annexation. She explained that the actions were successive and
that each action built upon the prior action. She further explained that during
the Planning Commission Meeting the actions took place quickly and there
was an approval of the Pre-Zone which could not be legally supported because
the Mitigated Negative Declaration had not been approved. On that basis, the
Assistant City Attorney requested a point of order and commented that on a
legal basis there could be not action on the Pre~Zone because the preceding
action on the Mitigated Negative Declaration failed to move forward with a 2-
2 vote. She explained that as procedural matter, the Planning Commission was
shut down and could not make the necessary findings to take any further action
on the project. She commented that the Assistant City Attorney requested that
the Planning Commission acknowledge the failure to legally make those
subsequent findings to support the subsequent actions. She noted that there
was not a reopening or reconsideration once the public had left.
Mayor Magee commented that the proposal was consistent with existing City
development and the City had the ability to provide municipal services
stronger than that of the unincorporated County area. He commented that there
was a mechanism in place to install a Community Facilities District to provide
for additional public safety funds. He commented on an additional TIF fee.
He noted that the geography and topography was more conducive to the City
of Lake Elsinore.
Mayor Magee commented on the concerns of the Wildomar community
relating to circulation impact of Tract 2910, Lost Road, Navajo Road and
Crooked Arrow Drive. He indicated that if the annexation was successful and
a development application moves forward; particular attention needed to be
given to those areas to limit any potential impact to the surrounding area. He
also noted that their needed to be sensitivity to the grading of the hill top area.
He also commented that close attention needed to be given to the view, scale
and any proposed density. He commented that he did not see enough space for
an attached or high density product in that particular area. He commented that
he supported Wildomar's incorporation area and the ability to grow and
communicate with Wildomar regardless of the action Council took on the item.
He further commented that he supported the annexation.
Mayor Pro Tem Schiffner commented that he was in support of the annexation.
Agenda Item No. 1 a
Page 13 of 39
Page 14 - City Council Meeting Minutes -April 11, 2006

this annexation would affect Wildomar's city-hood. He commented that the
owner of the land had some right regarding their property.
Councilmember Kelley commented that she had been a resident since 1984.
She commented that it was a rural community. She expressed her support for
personal property rights. She commented that she supported their application
for annexation. She indicated that she understood why they wanted to annex
into the City.

that she had met with Trumark and liked their project. She also noted that the
proposed area had 4 different zones on it at this time.

petition by her neighbors and she could not turn her back on them. She
commented that she could not vote in favor of the annexation.
Councilmember Buckley commented on the oroer of voting.
City Attorney Leibold explained that the Annexation application must include
a Pre-Zoning application. She further explained that the Council could move
forward with an annexation and deny this application for Pre-Zone, but a new
zoning application would need to come through or the item would need to be
continued and brought back to Council. She nQted that you could not move
forward with the annexation without the Pre-Zone. She commented that the
designation that Council was being asked to approve as the appropriate Pre-
Zoning designation was for future specific plans.
City Attorney Leibold clarified that there was no specific applicable City
zoning designation on property.
Councilmember Buckley questioned if there was no specific zoning
designation on the property and if Council was not setting the density by
approving the Pre-Zoning Ordinance.
City Attorney Leibold deferred to Community Development Director
Preisendanz.

Page 15 - City Council Meeting Minutes -April 11, 200~
Mr. Preisendanz replied that there was no proposed density within the Specific
Plan designation.
Councilmember Buckley clarified that if there was no density in the Specific
Plan, the Pre-Zone did not set density.
City Attorney Leibold explained that there would be future entitlements that
would be processed through the City that would fill in the particulars and
would be subject to additional CEQA evaluation and documentation. She
clarified that there was no density established by the Pre-Zone to future
Specific Plan.

City Attorney Leibold explained that the Specific Plan designation did not
include a specific density. She commented that it would come forward in
connection with future entitlements, including a tract map application.
