3. Agreement between City and YMCA regarding Use of Community Center
Mr. Pearson felt there should be an explanation of what the YMCA will be doing
and what activities they will be providing. Mr. Pearson felt there should be
a public hearing on the matter.
Mr. Torn felt the citizens of Lake Elsinore are looking for more recreation
and the City is looking for someone to implement programs which will utilize
the City's facilities to their fullest extent. Mr. Torn asked the item

Mr. Torn stated normally street improvement agreements are made if there is

would not be money well spent. Mr. Torn asked if the city could delay the
installation of the storeage room and go along with the installation of the
kitchen facilities. Mr. Rede stated this could be done, the primary interest
at this time is time and deadlines with the grant.
Mr. Rubel stated with the revision of the plans there will be some features
which will be eliminated and set up the bid schedule to allow the elimination
of some interior finish if cost must be reduced.

as: 1) Kitchen; 2) Kitchen Equipment and 3) Storage Facilities.

whether or not the city could work as an owner /builder on this type of a project
and it was determined there would not be any substantial savings and would
require d verting key staff from what they are doing presently.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
31. Zone Change #82-12: Butterfield Savings and Loan from R -3 to C -1, located
250 feet northerly of intersection of Lakeshore and Riverside Drive.
Mayor Unsworth announced this was the time and place for a public hearing
pursuant to the application of Zone Change #82 -12.
Mr. Trevino reported the Planning Commission has reviewed a request to
rezone two (2) contiguous 25' x 94' parcels and one (1) 50' x 94' parcel
lying adjacent to commercially zoned property at the intersection of
Lakeshore Drive and Riverside Drive from R -3 (Multi - Family Residence)
to C -1 (Limited Commercial). The zone change was requested to enable the
applicant to utilize the property as a portion of a commercial banking
facility. The Planning Commission has found the proposal to be in con-
formance with the existing and proposed General Plan.
Mayor Unsworth opened the public hearing at 8:25 p.m. asking those in
favor of the project to speak.
Jack Anderson, representing Butterfield Savings and Loan, 157 South Terra Cotta,
Lake Elsinore, asked the Council to approve the application.
Dick Murphy, local real estate salesman, spoke in favor of the project.
Mayor Unsworth asked if anyone would like to speak in opposition to the
zone change. No one asked to be heard.
Mayor Unsworth closed the public hearing at 8:30 p.m.
MOVED BY TORN, SECONDED BY VALENZUELA AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO APPROVE
ZONE CHANGE 82 -12 SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING FIVE CONDITIONS:
1. SUBMITTAL OF AN ACCURATE LEGAL DESCRIPTION FOR THE PROPERTY TO BE ZONE
CHANGED.
2. ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE FOR ZONE CHANGE.

32. Conditional Use Permit #82 -9 - Continued.
had been displaced by the March, 1980 flood, much activity has occurred on
the property the last two and one -half years. Staff stated to the
Commission that the request to locate the mobile home cannot be reviewed
without considering the existing facilities and activities on the property.
Mr. Trevino stated because of the significant commercial ultralight
activity on the property, including open storage, take -off and landing,
sales and service, the Commission felt that the Conditional Use Permit
application should be denied and re- directed to City Council for consideration.
Upon investigation, it was found that Perris Valley Ultralights had obtained
a business license for an ultralight sales and service only at 16876
Lakeshore Drive and that business license expired June 20, 1982. Because
of the activities involved, staff had originally informed the applicant
that a conditional use permit would be needed for the Corydon Road operation.
No such application was filed and Valley Ultralights (a new name) continues
to operate without benefit of City approvals.
Mayor Unsworth opened the public hearing at 8:34 p.m., asking those in favor
of the project to speak.
Dee Uhler, living at the end of Joy Street, stated if this request is approved
she would like to locate a trailer on her property because of all the dumping
that is occuring on it.
Mayor Unsworth asked if anyone would like to speak in opposition to the trailer
request. No one asked to speak.
Mayor Unsworth closed the public hearing at 8:35 p.m.

trailer at Stater Bros. on Mission Trail Road.

pursuant to the application of Heritage Thrift and Loan.
Mr. Trevino reported on December 7, 1982, the Planning Commission reviewed
a request for the utilization of temporary office trailer on a vacant 29,900
square foot parcel on Mission Trail. The 12' x 48' trailer would be used
for a period of one (1) year as a thrift and loan facility while the per-
manent structure is being constructed. Because of septic tank problems at
Stater Brothers, the Commission recommended that sewage disposal be in the
form of a holding tank for the facility. The Commission also recommended
that the applicant be assessed a fair share for the signalization of Railroad
Canyon Road /Mission Trail.
Mayor Unsworth opened the public hearing at 8:37 p.m. asking those in favor
of the project to speak. No one asked to speak.
Mayor Unsworth asked those in opposition to the temporary office trailer to
speak. No one asked to speak.
Mayor Unsworth closed the public hearing at 8:37 p.m.
Discussion was led on what the fair share of the signalization of Mission Trail

assessment or all businesses pay their proportionate share.
Mr. Knight asked if the trailer was on site at this time. Mr.' Trevino stated
the trailer was not on site.

Mayor Unsworth opened the public hearing on the General Plan at 9:26 p.m.

Dick Murphy, 18356 Sanders, stated he is involved in a parcel involving a
1912 subdivision map which is cut into high density use and is asking this be
kept as high density because of its nearness to the freeway and the buffer zone
between the Deon Corp. It is between Franklin and Main Streets.
Judy Farrenburg, 32308 Mission Trail, spoke to the Gateway Annexation.Area
presently outside the City under consideration for annexation to the City,
stating the General Plan is going to lower the density and did nct feel this
would be favorable to the landowners.
Mr. Torn stated we have overlooked the pre- annexation zonings and the map does
not coincide with action the Council has taken previously.

35. Adoption of the General Plan - Continued.
Mr. Henshaw stated based on what has been said, there were pre- annexation
hearings on the area and with direction he will re -color the map and re -do
the matrixs in the General Plan.
Mayor Unsworth closed the public hearing at 9:38 p.m.
Moved by Torn, seconded by Valenzuela that the area the City designated as
the Gateway Annexation be designated as low- density in the General Plan.
(Motion and second withdrawn).
Mr. Porter stated staff has reached a technical snag and asked for time to
discuss the matter. Permission was granted by the Council.
Mr. Torn stated there were a couple of subdivisions in the area Mr. Murphy
Q was speaking to and asked Mr. Crowe to give the Council any additional in-
formation he may have.
Mr. Crowe stated he believes there are two subdivisions in the area Mr. Murphy
was speaking to with Mr. Murphy owning a portion of one of the subdivisions.
Mr. Murphy stated there is a ten acre parcel that is a part of the 1912 sub-
division, there are 30 acres altogether, he owns 20, 10 acres were sold to
another ownership that goes up along the ABC Heritage Road. There is at
present 30 acres that was zoned into the 25' x 100' lots. There are 40' of the
streets already cut into the subdivision.
Mr. Porter reported there are very specific procedures that have to be
followed when any changes are made to the General Plan. If the Council were
to change anything to do with the Gateway Annexation Area, the matter has to
be referred back to the Planning 'Commission to receive their input before
the action can become final. In view of the deadline in which the General
Plan must be adopted,tonight, it is not possible to make the change on the map.
Mr. Porter stated Council has made its intentions very clear to staff and
eventually the General Plan will have to come into conformance with the Pre-
Zoning of the Gateway Annexation, as opposed to changing the zoning to con-
form with the General Plan. Staff recommended the Council direct staff
to see that all the appropriate procedures are taken such as when the
annexation comes before the Council the present pre- zoning will be in compliance
with the General Plan. In this manner the Council will show its intent to
preserve the present pre - zoning and yet be able to consider the adoption of
the General Plan.
Councflmember Torn withdrew his motion. Councilmember Valenzuela withdrew
her second.
Mr. Torn feels that Mr. Murphy's property should be a high density use,
he felt the subdivision should be developed in its entirety, not each indiv-
idual parcel. Mr. Torn stated he would prefer the change to come back at the
same time as the Gateway Annexation area.

BUSINESS ITEMS
51. Presentation by State of California Energy Commission
Mr. Michael Smith, Office of Small Power Producers, State of California and
Mr. Gene Culver from the Geo -Heat Center at the Oregon Institute of Technology
discussed with members of the Council, staff and citizens the potential for
using the abundant, low- temperature geothermal resources located in the valley.
Mr. Culver and Mr. Smith presented a slide show illustrating the applications
most adaptable to low- temperature resources and the type of equipment necessary
for conversion from conventional fuels.
52. Request for Waiver of Conditional Exception Permit - Stellrecht /Crowles
Mr. Trevino reported the applicants have been directed by staff to obtain a
Conditional Exception Permit (variance) or submit revised plans for a 44 lot,
single - family residential tract. The plot plan for this project indicates
fireplace structures encroaching into the required side yard setback.
The project is located within the R -3 (Multi- Family) Zoning District, which
requires a minimum side yard setback of five (5) feet. The main structures
have been situated five (5) feet back from the side property lines, however,
the fireplaces encroach eighteen (18) inches into the side yeard setback area.
Mr. Trevino stated the applicants have requrested a waiver from the conditional
exception process and an interpretation of the Code. If this first request is
not granted, the applicants request expeditious prcessing for a conditional
exception application permit in the form of a directive to the Planninq
staff to advertise simultaneously for both Planning Commission and City Council.
Staff has determined that a fireplace extending from the qround to the roof
is part of the main structure and subject to the main dwelling setback re-
quirements of five (5) feet.

Wel Buck, 2961 Elm Lane, stated there are a number of housing tracts throughout
the city where fireplaces have not been considered a part of the main house
structure.
Mr. Torn asked if the city has allowed this type of exception in the past.
Mr. Trevino stated the city has allowed this in the past, however his inter-
pretation is that it is not an acceptable architectural projection.
MOVED BY TORN, SECONDED BY VALENZUELA AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY THAT IT IS A
FINDING THAT FIREPLACES ARE AN ARCHITECTURAL PROJECTION AND THAT THE ORDINANCE
SHOULD BE AMENDED TO REFLECT THIS.
53. Grading Plan for Jim Magill - property located at Iowa Street and Lakeshore Drive
Ca:
Mr. Rubel reported the existing elevations on the lot upon which the Grading
�`- plan is requested is located on Assessor Parcel No.'s 379 - 216 -001, 002 and 003.
The existing elevations on the lot vary from 1262.6 to 1268'. The site is
zoned Commercial (C -1) and the Zoning Code would allow residences to be
constructed on this lot. The proposed grading plan proposed placing 2,508
cubic yards of fill on the lot and raising the finish surface approximately
four feet, to an average elevation of 1269 to 1270. Approximately 75`0 of the
site is presently within the 100 year flood plain or below elevation. Mr.
Rubel reported that due to Ordinance 603 and 711 and the established City Council
policy of prohibiting fill below the elevation of 1265', this request is before
the City Council for determination.
Jim Magill, owner of the property at the corner of Lakeshore Drive and Iowa Street,
stated he understands the concern of the City Engineer and Planning Department
that it is his intent to use the property for residential development. Mr.
Magill stated he does not intend to use the property for residential use and
does not object to putting a restriction on it that it be used for commercial
purposes.
Mr. Porter stated the Council needs to bear in mind the reason there are re-
strictions on the property in relation to fill is because the Federal Flood
Insurance regulations provide that the City can not allow such an amount of fill
that will raise the water levels one foot.
Mr. Unsworth stated it should be noted that there is a dike on the property
that helped divert the flood waters of 1980 around his property.
Mr. Magill stated the ordinance states you can fill if it does not raise the
level of the lake one (1) foot. The amount of fill he is requesting will not
raise the level of the lake.
Mr. Torn felt that fill should not be allowed until the Council knows what
amounts of fill will actually raise the level of the lake.
MOVED BY TORN, SECONDED BY KNIGHT TO DENY THE REQUEST. (MOTION FAILED)

54. Appeal of Plumbing Code Requirements - Ronnie's Sandwich Shop
Mr. Trevino reported that Ronnie's Sandwich Shop, 31361 Riverside Drive
is changing ownership. This shop does not, at present, have a crease trap.
The agent for the owner, Mr. Evitt, is requesting a waiver from the Plumbing
Code requirements which require grease traps to be installed and functioning
in places where food is dispensed for public consumption. Mr. Trevino stated
the Council needs to declare themselves the Appeals Board on this item.
Mr. Trevino reported there have been problems with grease in the city's sevier
lines in the area of Ronnie's Sandwich Shop.
MOVED BY VALENZUELA, SECONDED BY KNIGHT AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY THAT THE
COUNCIL DECLARE THEMSELVES THE APPEALS BOARD.
Wally Borchard, Sewer Plant Operator, reported the lift station that services
the area of Ronnie's Sandwich Shop has had an extensive problem with grease
build -up and is causing an increased maintenance problem.
Melvin Evitt, 38160 Via La Cocina, Murietta representing the owners of the
sandwich shop, stated the owner will be conducting business identical to the
previous owners. The grease in the shop is recycled, and little if no grease
goes into the city's sewer system.
Mr. Trevino reported when there is a change of ownership, the full force of
the code must come into effect. We are dealing with Health and Safety factors
which will effect our sewer lines and their maintenance.
Mr. Unsworth felt that only new businesses should be effected or all businesses
should be made to come up to code.
Ms. Valenzuela felt that if we require one business to come up to code, the
Council should require all the businesses to come up to code within a given
time period.
Mr. Porter suggested that if the Council approves the waiver the rational be
that it is a change in ownership and it is a continuing use of the premises.
However, if a business closes for 30 days, then is reopened, then that business
should come up to code. Mr. Porter further suggested that staff come up with
an ordinance requiring all businesses to come up to code, however, with a large
amount of time for the owners to do whatever work is necessary to bring it up
to code requirements.
MOVED BY TORN, SECONDED BY VALENZUELA AND CARRIED THAT BECAUSE THIS IS AN
EXISTING AND CONTINUING USE, THAT THE GREASE TRAP NOT BE REQUIRED.
AYES: TORN, VALENZUELA, UNSWORTH
NOES: KNIGHT
ABSENT: MACMURRAY
Mr. Torn suggested the Council sit down in a study session to discuss whether
the City would want to bring buildings up to code at the time of change of
ownership. Council concurred with no date set.
Discussion was led on what the procedures were for bringing rental units up to
code. It was discussed that this item was to come back before the Council after
the General Plan was adopted.
Mr. Porter asked the Council for direction to staff that all existine and
continuing uses at the change of ownership would not require the installation
of grease traps.
MOVED BY TORN, SECONDED BY VALENZUELA AND CARRIED THAT UNTIL THE COUNCIL
REACHES A DECISION ON BRINGING BUILDINGS UP TO CODE AT THE CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP
THAT ANY CONTINUING USE WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO BEING BROUGHT UP TO CODE BUT
IF THE USE LAPSES FOR THIRTY (30) DAYS OR IMORE IT SHOULD BE TREATED AS NEI,!

Mr. Rede recommended the Council allow occupancy of the motorhome as sales
office /security and formal application with accompanying fees be received
within five (5) days and prohibit the use and occupancy of cab - over - camper.

56. Resolution making findings on petition to construct public improvements by
Assessment (Parcel Map 16,000).
Mr. Rubel reported on April 14, 1982, the City Council approved an extension
of time to April 20, 1983, for Tentative Parcel Map 16,000. This is the pro-
posed Warm Springs Industrial Park located at Collier Drive and Central Avenue.
Adoption of the resolution initiates the assessment proceedings which will
provide for construction of all necessary public facilities for the industrial
park costs to be assessed against the parcels within the boundaries of Parcel
Map 16,000. The developer will provide a sewage treatment facility on an
adjacent 10 acre parcel. The sewage treatment facility and effluent disposal
plant has been approved by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. The
10 acre treatment plant site will be under control of the City of Lake Elsinore
and the City will operate and maintain the treatment plant. Provisions will be
made for costs of treatment plant operation and maintenance to be charged to
the lot owners within the parcel map boundaries. The developer anticipates
that eventually the sewage from this development will be discharged into a
Regional or City treatment facility and the 10 acres of property would then
be quit claimed back to Warm Springs Associates.

58. Korn Memorial Scholarship Procedures
Mr. Ronnow stated in 1972, the City of Lake Elsinore became trustee for
the Adolph Korn Estate, amounting to $13,816.39. The original judgment stated
that the money was to be used for the purpose of building a nurses' home
for the proposed Hospital of Elsinore. Until that time, all interest
earnings from the estate would be used as a scholarship fund for the purpose
of training and educating residents of Lake Elsinore in the profession of
nursing.
Currently the City awards an annual scholarship of $500.00 ($250 per semester).
High School counselors select the candidates and the finalist is chosen by
a member or members of the City Council. Since there are no official
procedures existing at this time and because our auditors require minute
action establishing parameters for disbursing these funds, staff recommends Now
Council take action on the staff recommendation.
Discussion was led on having a sub - committee of the Council to review the
applications and make determinations on residency requirements.
MOVED BY KNIGHT, SECONDED BY VALENZUELA AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO APPROVE
THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:
1. Council appoint Selecting Committee to be made up of Arta Valenzuela and
Howie Torn;
2. Documentation from School District of qualified applicants;
3. Establish an award in amounts of $250 at the end of each semester upon
proof of attaining "B" (3.0) grade point average;
4. Publicity procedures to include pre and post -award press releases;
5. Residency requirements to be determined by the Committee.
59. Establishment of Industrial Development Authority
Mr. Steel reported on November 9, the City Council directed staff to
investigate the procedures for establishing an Industrial Development
Authority (IDA). Under the California Industrial Financing Act (AB74),
cities are authorized to create industrial development bond authorities
which may issue tax - exempt bonds to finance assembling, fabricating,
manufacturing or energy related facilities for private enterprise. Bonds
issued under the Act are repaid soley by the private company and do not
represent an obligation of the public entity. In effect, the City acts
as a conduit by allowing businesses to borrow money utilizing the City's
tax exempt status. Financing is provided to the private firm at 2 -4
points below market interest rates.
MOVED BY TORN, SECONDED BY KNIGHT AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO DIRECT STAFF
TO PREPARE AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY (IDA)
AND APPOINTING THE CITY COUNCIL AS DIRECTORS.

60. Request for Waiver of Conditional Use Permit - Rivera
Mr. Trevino reported there has been continuing interaction between Mr. Rivera
and city staff. It appears that Mr. Rivera has been sufficiently advised
throughout the past 2 - 3 months that he would need a conditional use permit
in order to operate an arcade. Mr. Rivera further aggravated the matter by
performing remodeling work without the benefit of proper permits. Permits
were eventually taken out. Staff recommends denial.
Mr. Rivera, 15195 Joy Street, Lake Elsinore, stated he is only asking for
temporary permits until he can obtain a CUP or waiver of a CUP.
Dick Evitt, representing the owner of Ronnie's Sandwich Shop, asked if it is
approved that the arcade be limited.
Mr. Porter stated the City Council is not in session to limit trade in the
City, they are to consider the request for waiver of the Conditional Use
Permit.
MOVED BY TORN, SECONDED BY KNIGHT AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO DENY THE
REQUEST, THE APPLICANT TO GO THROUGH THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT PROCESS
AND STAFF TO FAST TRACT.
61. Installation of Lindsay Street Off -Site Improvements — Butterfield
Development Corporation.
Mr. Rubel reported in July, 1979 a single family residence was constructed
on the southwest corner of Lindsay and Limited Streets. The owner /builder
did not complete installation of all appropriate off -site improvements.
Street improvements were not enforced at that time and temporary power
was allowed to be connected. Since that time no further assessments have
been made. The Butterfield Development Corporation is planning a 40 unit
apartment project to be located at Limited, Poe and Lindsay Streets. Butter-
field Development Corporation is offering to complete all street improvements
on Lindsay Street in exchange for Capital Improvement Fee reduction for the
cost of the improvements which is above that required by the City for their
project.
Mr. Porter reported the general contractor did not complete the paving,
and did not receive a certificate of occupancy. The owner is located on the
property, and for one reason or another, staff failed to pick this up.
Normally the city would have an agreement they would call in, however there
is not an agreement in this case, but in view of the fact there was not a
certificate of occupancy issued for the home, the city is in a very strong
bargaining position to suggest the owner arrange to have the paving done
at this time.
Mr. Fred Crowe felt that by having the street done all at the same time, the
best possible price could be obtained.
Mr. Porter stated the City could suggest the Chatteau's work with Butterfield
Survey, but the owner of the property does have the option to do the work
by hiring another firm.
_ MOVED BY TORN, SECONDED BY KNIGHT AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO DIRECT STAFF
TO USE THEIR BEST EFFORTS TO HAVE MR. CHATTEAU MAKE HIS OWN ARRANGEMENTS
BUT GIVE STAFF THE DISCRETION THAT IF MR. CHATTEAU DOES NOT WANT TO MAKE
HIS OWN ARRANGEMENTS WE CAN ENTER INTO THE AGREEMENT WITH BUTTERFIELD
DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND CREDIT THEIR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FEES FOR THE
WORK PERFORMED.
