public hearing held with respect to this item on January 23,2007.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
LAKE ELSINORE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Prior to making a decision, the City Council has reviewed
and analyzed Specific Plan No. 2006-01 pursuant to the Planning and Zoning Laws
(Cal. Gov. Code 99 65000 et seq.) and Chapter 17.99 of the Lake Elsinore

the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code, the City Council makes the following findings
for the approval of Specific Plan No. 2006-01:
-
CITY COUNCIL ORDINANCE NO. 1207
PAGE20F6
1. The location and design of the proposed development shall be
consistent with the goals and policies of the City's General Plan and with any other
applicable plan or policies adopted by the City.
The Canyon Hills Estates Specific Plan meets the City's specific plan criteria for
content and required implementation of the General Plan established by Section
65450 et seq. of the California Government Code and Section 17.99 of the City of
Lake Elsinore Municipal Code. The Canyon Hills Estates Specific Plan has been
prepared to provide the essential link between the City's General Plan policies and
actual development within the Project Site. The Specific Plan provides for the
orderly and efficient development of the Project Site in accordance with the City's
General Plan programs, goals, policies, and implementation measures. The
Specific Plan functions as a regulatory document and implements the City's
General Plan through land use provisions, development regulations, and design
guidelines. Accordingly, the proposed Specific Plan is in concurrence with the
objectives of the General Plan and the purpose of the planning district in which the
site is located.
2. The proposed location shall allow the development to be well-
integrated with or adequately buffered from its surroundings, whichever may be
the case.
The Canyon Hills Estates Specific Plan conforms to the topography of the Project
Site and appears as an extension of the existing Canyon Hills development
immediately to the north. The Project Site slopes downward from south to north
and faces the Canyon Hills development; the northern portion of the Project Site
lies at the same elevation as the Canyon Hills development and the existing
infrastructure improvements (road, water, sewer and dry utilities) and community
services (retail and service commercial, parks and schools) abut the Project Site to
the north. The Specific Plan includes a 5.4 acre park in the northeast corner of the
Project Site as a natural and aesthetically pleasing gateway feature for the Project
Site. The Specific Plan includes 149.9 acres of open space to provide a natural
appearing visual backdrop to the lower residential development area and the
community of Canyon Hills. The proposed project is appropriate to the site and
surrounding developments in that the project will construct single-family detached
units in accordance with appropriate development and design standards contained
in the Canyon Hills Estates Specific Plan. The project creates interest and varying
vistas as a person moves along any project street. The project also complements
CITY COUNCIL ORDINANCE NO. 1207
PAGE 3 OF 6
the quality of existing neighboring development and will continue to provide
visually-pleasing design and architecture within the immediate area.
3. All vehicular traffic generated by the development, either in phased
increments or at full build-out, is to be accommodated safely and without causing
undue congestion upon adjoining streets.
The proposed Canyon Hills Estates Specific Plan has been reviewed as to its
relation to the width and type of pavement needed to carry the type and quantity of
traffic generated. The circulation concept in the Specific Plan consists of an
internal street system supporting the land use allocations in the Specific Plan with
connections to surrounding vehicular access streets and pedestrian linkages. The
City has adequately evaluated the potential impacts associated with the proposed
uses prior to its approval and has conditioned the project to be served by roads of
adequate capacity and design standards to provide reasonable access by car,
truck, transit, and bicycle (Conditions of Approval 54-58). The layout and design
standards for streets in the Specific Plan allow the community to safely meet the
circulation needs of the residents and users of the Project Site.
4. The Final Specific Plan shall identify a methodology(s) to allow land
uses to be adequately serviced by existing or proposed public facilities and
services. In appropriate circumstances, and as provided elsewhere by City Code,
the City may require that suitable areas be reserved for schools, parks and
pedestrian ways; or public open spaces shall be dedicated or reserved by private
covenant for the common use of residents, establishments or operations in the
development.
The Final Specific Plan properly identifies methodologies to allow land uses to be
adequately serviced by existing or proposed public facilities and services. The
Final Specific Plan identifies necessary streets and circulation to support the
proposed land use allocations. The Project is designed as an extension of the
adjacent Canyon Hills community to the north. Water, sewer, electricity, natural
gas, schools and other public facilities and services will be available from the City
through the existing community of Canyon Hills north of the Project Site. In
addition, the Specific Plan identifies a 5.4 acre park site for common use of the
residents, approximately 126 acres of open space for dedication and preservation,
and an additional 23.9 acres of open space.
CITY COUNCIL ORDINANCE NO. 1207
PAGE40F6
5. The overall design of the Specific Plan will produce an attractive,
efficient and stable development.
The proposed Canyon Hills Estates Specific Plan has been designed in
consideration of the size and shape of the property, thereby strengthening and
enhancing the immediate residential area. The project, as proposed, will
complement the quality of existing development and will create a visually pleasing,
non-detractive relationship between the proposed and existing projects, in that the
proposed use has been reviewed to ensure adequate provision of screening from
the public rights-ofway or adjacent properties.
The Canyon Hills Estates Specific Plan conforms to the topography of the Project
Site and appears as an extension of the existing Canyon Hills development
immediately to the north, thereby facilitating the efficient provision of public
services and facilities. The Specific Plan provides for the orderly and efficient
development of the Project Site in accordance with the City's General Plan
through land use provisions, development regulations, and design guidelines. The
design guidelines in the Specific Plan establish the framework to achieve harmony
and compatibility within residential neighborhoods, while promoting high quality
architectural design.
The Canyon Hills Estates Specific Plan will not be detrimental to the health, safety,
comfort or general welfare of the persons residing or working near the project
area or within the City, nor will it be injurious to property or improvements in the
project area or within the City. In addition, staff has substantiated that all
applicable City Departments and Agencies have been afforded the opportunity for
a thorough review of the Specific Plan and have incorporated all applicable
comments and/or conditions related to installation and maintenance of
landscaping, street dedications, regulations of points of vehicular ingress and
egress and control of potential nuisances, so as to eliminate any negative impacts
to the general health, safety, comfort, or general welfare of the surrounding
neighborhood or the City.
6. In accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), impacts have been reduced to a level of non-significance, or
in the case where impacts remain, a statement of overriding considerations must be
adopted to justify the merits of project implementation.
Environmental Impact Report No. 2006-02 ("EIR '') is adequate and prepared in
accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
CITY COUNCIL ORDINANCE NO. 1207
PAGE50F6
(CEQA) which analyzes environmental effects of the Specific Plan. The EIR states
that most of the potentially significant environmental impacts have been reduced to
a level of less than significant through implementation of project design features,
standard conditions, and project-specific mitigation measures. Significant short-
term air quality impacts and cumulative transportation impacts have been
identified as unavoidable and significant, and a statement of overriding
considerations has been prepared relative to those impacts.
SECTION 3. Based upon the above findings, the Staff Report, conditions
of approval and documentary and oral testimony presented, the City Council
hereby approves Specific Plan No. 2006-01.
SECTION 4. If any provision, clause, sentence or paragraph of this
Ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall be held
invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the other provisions of this Ordinance and
are hereby declared to be severable.
SECTION 5. This Ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after the
date of its final passage. The City Clerk shall certify as to adoption of this
Ordinance and cause this Ordinance to be published and posted in the manner
required by law.

Residential Property More than 2,100 sq. ft. $3,085 per unit
2 Residential Property 1,800 - 2,100 sq. ft. $2,891 per unit
3 Residential Property Less than 1,800 sq. ft. $2,708 per unit
4 Non-Residential Property NA $30,518 per Acre
(c) Backup Special Tax for Facilities
The Backup Special Tax for Facilities attributable to a Final Subdivision will equal
$31,966 multiplied by the Acreage of all Taxable Property, exclusive of any Taxable
Property Owner Association Property and Taxable Public Property, therein. The
Backup Special Tax for Facilities for each Assessor's Parcel of Residential Property
shall be computed by dividing the Backup Special Tax for Facilities attributable to
the applicable Final Subdivision by the number of Assessor's Parcels and/or
residential units for which building permits for residential construction have or may
be issued (i.e., the number or residential lots and/or units). The Backup Special Tax
for Facilities for each Assessor's Parcel of Non-Residential Property therein shall
equal $31,966 multiplied by the Acreage of such Assessor's Parcel.

If a Final Subdivision includes Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property for which
building permits for both residential and non-residential construction may be issued,
exclusive of Taxable Property Owner Association Property and Taxable Public
Property, then the Backup Special Tax for Facilities for each Assessor's Parcel of
Residential Property shall be computed exclusive of the Acreage and Assessor's
Parcels of property for which building permits for non-residential construction may
be issued.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the Final Subdivision(s)
described in the preceding paragraphs is subsequently changed or modified by
recordation of a lot line adjustment or similar instrument, and only if the CFD
Administrator determines that such change or modification results in a decrease in
the number of Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property for which building permits for
residential construction have or may be issued within such Final Subdivision, then
the Backup Special Tax for Facilities for each Assessor's Parcel of Developed
Property that is part of the lot line adjustment or similar instrument for such Final
Subdivision shall be a rate per Acre as calculated below. The Backup Special Tax
for Facilities previously determined for an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property
that is not a part of the lot line adjustment or similar instrument for such Final
Subdivision shall not be recalculated.
1. Determine the total Backup Special Tax for Facilities anticipated to
apply to the changed or modified portion of the Final Subdivision
area prior to the change or modification.
2. The result of paragraph 1 above shall be divided by the Acreage of
Taxable Property which is ultimately expected to exist in such
changed or modified portion of the Final Subdivision area, as
reasonably determined by the CFD Administrator.
3. The result of paragraph 2 above shall be the Backup Special Tax for
Facilities per Acre which shall be applicable to Assessor's Parcels of
Developed Property in such changed or modified portion ofthe Final
Subdivision area for all remaining Fiscal Years in which the Special
Tax for Facilities may be levied.
(d) Multiple Land Use Classes
In some instances an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property may contain more than
one Land Use Class. The Maximum Special Tax for Facilities levied on an
Assessor's Parcel shall be the sum of the Maximum Special Tax for Facilities for all
Land Use Classes located on that Assessor's Parcel. The CFD Administrator's
allocation to each type of property shall be final.

Undeveloped Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Facilities for Taxable Property Owner Association Property,
Taxable Public Property, and Undeveloped Property shall be $31,966 per Acre.
D. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX FOR FACILITIES
Commencing with Fiscal Year 2007-2008 and for each following Fiscal Year, the Council
shall determine the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities and levy the Special Tax for
Facilities until the amount of Special Tax for Facilities levy equals the Special Tax
Requirement for Facilities. The Special Tax for Facilities shall be levied each Fiscal Year as
follows:
First: The Special Tax for Facilities shall be levied on each Assessor's Parcel of Developed
Property in an amount equal to 100% of the applicable Assigned Special Tax for Facilities;
Second: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities
after the first step has been completed, the Special Tax for Facilities shall be levied
Proportionately on each Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property at up to 100% of the
Maximum Special Tax for Facilities for Undeveloped Property;
Third: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities
after the first two steps have been completed, then the levy of the Special Tax for Facilities
on each Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property whose Maximum Special Tax for Facilities
is determined through the application of the Backup Special Tax for Facilities shall be
increased in equal percentages from the Assigned Special Tax for Facilities up to the
Maximum Special Tax for Facilities for each such Assessor's Parcel;
Fourth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities
after the first three steps have been completed, then the Special Tax for Facilities shall be
levied Proportionately on each Assessor's Parcel of Taxable Property Owner Association
Property and Taxable Public Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for
Facilities for Taxable Property Owner Association Property or Taxable Public Property.
Notwithstanding the above, the Council may, in any Fiscal Year, levy Proportionately less
than 100% of the Assigned Special Tax for Facilities in step one (above), when (i) the
Council is no longer required to levy the Special Tax for Facilities pursuant to steps two
through four above in order to meet the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities; (ii) all
authorized CFD No. 2006-9 Bonds have already been issued or the Council has covenanted
that it will not issue any additional CFD No. 2006-9 Bonds (except refunding bonds) to be
supported by the Special Tax for Facilities; and (iii) all Authorized Facilities have been
constructed and/or acquired and all reimbursements to the developer for the construction
and/or acquisition of such facilities have been paid as permitted by law.

Page 8
Further notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Tax for Facilities
levied against any Assessor's Parcel of Residential Property for which a Certificate of
Occupancy has been issued be increased by more than ten percent as a consequence of
delinquency or default by the owner of any other Assessor's Parcel within CFD No. 2006-9.
E. EXEMPTIONS
No Special Tax for Facilities shall be levied on up to 2.3 Acres of Property Owner
Association Property and/or Public Property in CFD No. 2006-9. Tax-exempt status will be
assigned by the CFD Administrator in the chronological order in which property becomes
Property Owner Association Property or Public Property. However, should an Assessor's
Parcel no longer be classified as Property Owner Association Property or Public Property, its
tax-exempt status will be revoked.
Property Owner Association Property or Public Property that is not exempt from Special Tax
for Facilities under this section shall be subject to the levy of the Special Tax for Facilities
and shall be taxed Proportionately as part of the fourth step in Section D above, at up to
100% of the Maximum Special Tax for Facilities for Taxable Property Owner Association
Property or Taxable Public Property.
F. MANNER OF COLLECTION
The Special Tax for Facilities shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as
ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that CFD No. 2006-9 may directly
bill the Special Tax for Facilities, may collect the Special Tax for Facilities at a different time
or in a different manner if necessary to meet its financial obligations, and may covenant to
foreclose and may actually foreclose on delinquent Assessor's Parcels as permitted by the
Act.
G. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX FOR FACILITIES
The following additional definitions apply to this Section G:

for all of the Authorized Facilities, or (ii) shall be determined by the Council concurrently
with a covenant that it will not issue any more CFD No. 2006-9 Bonds (except refunding
bonds) to be supported by the Special Tax for Facilities levy under this Rate and Method of
Apportionment as described in Section D above.

"Construction Inflation Index" means the annual percentage change in the Engineering
News Record Building Cost Index for the City of Los Angeles, measured as of the calendar
year which ends in the previous Fiscal Year. In the event this index ceases to be published,
the Construction Inflation Index shall be another index as determined by the CFD
Administrator that is reasonably comparable to the Engineering News Record Building Cost
Index for the City of Los Angeles.
"Future Facilities Costs" means the CFD Public Facilities minus (i) costs of Authorized
Facilities previously paid from the Improvement Fund, (ii) moneys currently on deposit in the
Improvement Fund available to pay costs of Authorized Facilities, and (iii) moneys currently

1. Prepayment in Full
Only an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property, or Undeveloped Property for which a
building permit has been issued, may be prepaid. The obligation of the Assessor's Parcel to
pay the Special Tax for Facilities may be permanently satisfied as described herein, provided
that a prepayment may be made with respect to a particular Assessor's Parcel only ifthere are
no delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of
prepayment. An owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Special Tax for
Facilities obligation shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to
prepay. Within 30 days of receipt of such written notice, the CFD Administrator shall notifY
such owner ofthe prepayment amount for such Assessor's Parcel. The CFD Administrator
may charge a reasonable fee for providing this service. Prepayment must be made not less
than 45 days prior to the next occurring date that notice of redemption of CFD No. 2006-9
Bonds from the proceeds of such prepayment may be given by the Trustee pursuant to the
Indenture.
The Special Tax for Facilities Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as
summarized below (capitalized terms as defined below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Future Facilities Amount
plus Defeasance Amount
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit

Total: equals
Capitalized Interest Credit
Special Tax for Facilities Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Special Tax for Facilities Prepayment Amount
shall be calculated as follows:
Parag:raph No.:
1. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor's Parcel.
2. For Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property, compute the Assigned Special Tax for
Facilities and Backup Special Tax for Facilities. For Assessor's Parcels of
Undeveloped Property for which a building permit has been issued, compute the
Assigned Special Tax for Facilities and Backup Special Tax for Facilities for that
Assessor's Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property, based
upon the building permit which has already been issued for that Assessor's Parcel.
3. (a) Divide the Assigned Special Tax for Facilities computed pursuant to paragraph 2
by the total estimated Assigned Special Tax for Facilities for the entire CFD No.
2006-9 based on the Developed Property Special Tax for Facilities which could be
levied in the current Fiscal Year on all expected development through Buildout of
CFD No. 2006-9, excluding any Assessor's Parcels which have been prepaid, and
(b) Divide the Backup Special Tax for Facilities computed pursuant to paragraph 2
by the total estimated Backup Special Tax for Facilities at Buildout for the entire
CFD No. 2006-9, excluding any Assessor's Parcels which have been prepaid.
4. Multiply the larger quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3(a) or 3(b) by the
Previously Issued Bonds to compute the amount of Previously Issued Bonds to be
retired and prepaid (the "Bond Redemption Amount").
5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to paragraph 4 by the
applicable redemption premium (e.g., the redemption price-IOO%), if any, on the
Previously Issued Bonds to be redeemed (the "Redemption Premium").
6. Compute the current Future Facilities Costs.
7. Multiply the larger quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3(a) or 3(b) by the
amount determined pursuant to paragraph 6 to compute the amount of Future
Facilities Costs to be prepaid (the "Future Facilities Amount").
8. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from
the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year
until the earliest redemption date for the Previously Issued Bonds.
City of Lake Elsinore
Community Facilities District No. 2006-9 (Trieste)
November 7, 2006
Page 11
9. Determine the Special Tax for Facilities levied on the Assessor's Parcel in the current
Fiscal Year which has not yet been paid.
10. Compute the minimum amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive
from the reinvestment of the Special Tax for Facilities Prepayment Amount less the
Future Facilities Amount and the Administrative Fees and Expenses (defined below)
from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Previously Issued
Bonds to be redeemed with the prepayment.
11. Add the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 8 and 9 and subtract the amount
computed pursuant to paragraph 10 (the "Defeasance Amount").
12. The administrative fees and expenses ofCFD No. 2006-9 are as calculated by the
CFD Administrator and include the costs of computation ofthe prepayment, the costs
to invest the prepayment proceeds, the costs of redeeming CFD No. 2006-9 Bonds,
and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption
(the "Administrative Fees and Expenses").
13. The reserve fund credit (the "Reserve Fund Credit") shall equal the lesser of: (a) the
expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any,
associated with the redemption of Previously Issued Bonds as a result of the
prepayment, or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as
defined in the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Previously Issued Bonds as
a result of the prepayment from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment
date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero. No Reserve Fund Credit
shall be granted if the amount then on deposit in the reserve fund for the Previously
Issued Bonds is below 100% ofthe reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture).
14. If any capitalized interest for the Previously Issued Bonds will not have been
expended as of the date immediately following the first interest and/or principal
payment following the current Fiscal Year, a capitalized interest credit shall be
calculated by multiplying the larger quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3(a) or
3(b) by the expected balance in the capitalized interest fund or account under the
Indenture after such first interest and/or principal payment (the "Capitalized Interest
Credit").
15. The Special Tax for Facilities prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts
computed pursuant to paragraphs 4, 5, 7, 11 and 12, less the amounts computed
pursuant to paragraphs 13 and 14 (the "Special Tax for Facilities Prepayment
Amount").
From the Special Tax for Facilities Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to
paragraphs 4, 5, 11, 13 and 14 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established
under the Indenture and be used to retire CFD No. 2006-9 Bonds or make debt service
payments. The amount computed pursuant to paragraph 7 shall be deposited into the
City of Lake Elsinore
Community Facilities District No. 2006-9 (Trieste)
November 7, 2006
Page 12
Improvement Fund. The amount computed pursuant to paragraph 12 shall be retained by
CFDNo.2006-9.
The Special Tax for Facilities Prepayment Amount may be insufficient to redeem a full
$5,000 increment ofCFD No. 2006-9 Bonds. In such cases, the increment above $5,000 or
integral multiple thereof will be retained in the appropriate fund established under the
Indenture to be used with the next prepayment of CFD No. 2006-9 Bonds or to make debt
service payments.
As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax for Facilities levy as
determined under paragraph 9 ( above), the CFD Administrator shall remove the current
Fiscal Year's Special Tax for Facilities levy for such Assessor's Parcel from the County tax
rolls. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel that is prepaid, the Council shall cause a suitable
notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment ofthe Special
Tax for Facilities and the release of the Special Tax for Facilities lien on such Assessor's
Parcel, and the obligation of such Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax for Facilities shall
cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax for Facilities prepayment shall be allowed
unless, at the time of such proposed prepayment, the amount of Maximum Special Tax for
Facilities that may be levied on Taxable Property within CFD No. 2006-9 (after excluding
2.3 Acres of Property Owner Association Property and/or Public Property in CFD No. 2006-
9 as set forth in Section E) both prior to and after the proposed prepayment is at least equal to
the sum of (i) the Administrative Expenses, as defined in Section A above, and (ii) 1.10
times maximum annual debt service, in each remaining Fiscal Year on the Outstanding
Bonds.
2. Prepayment in Part
The Special Tax for Facilities on an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property or an
Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property for which a building permit has been issued may
be partially prepaid. The amount of the prepayment shall be calculated as in Section G.l;
except that a partial prepayment shall be calculated according to the following formula:
PP = [(PE - A) x F] + A
These terms have the following meaning:
PP = the partial prepayment.
PE = the Special Tax for Facilities Prepayment Amount calculated according to
Section G.1.
F = the percentage, expressed as a decimal, by which the owner of the Assessor's
Parcel is partially prepaying the Special Tax for Facilities.
A = the Administrative Fees and Expenses calculated according to Section G.l.

Community Facilities District No. 2006-9 (Trieste)
November 7, 2006
Page 13
The owner of any Assessor's Parcel who desires such prepayment shall notify the CFD
Administrator of such owner's intent to partially prepay the Special Tax for Facilities and the
percentage by which the Special Tax for Facilities shall be prepaid. The CFD Administrator
shall provide the owner with a statement ofthe amount required for the partial prepayment of
the Special Tax for Facilities for an Assessor's Parcel within 30 days of the request and may
charge a reasonable fee for providing this service. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel that
is partially prepaid, the Council shall (i) distribute the funds remitted to it according to
Section G.l, and (ii) indicate in the records ofCFD No. 2006-9 that there has been a partial
prepayment of the Special Tax for Facilities and that a portion of the Special Tax for
Facilities with respect to such Assessor's Parcel, equal to the outstanding percentage (1.00-
F) of the remaining Maximum Special Tax for Facilities, shall continue to be levied on such
Assessor's Parcel pursuant to Section D above.
H. TERM OF SPECIAL TAX FOR FACILITIES
The Special Tax for Facilities shall be levied for a period not to exceed forty years
commencing with Fiscal Year 2007-2008, provided however that the Special Tax for
Facilities will cease to be levied in an earlier Fiscal Year if the CFD Administrator has
determined (i) that all required interest and principal payments on the CFD No. 2006-9
Bonds have been paid; (ii) all Authorized Facilities have been constructed and/or acquired

properties located at 20930 Malaga Road (APN 365-040-016),20970 Malaga Road
(APN 365-040-003), and 21000 Malaga Road (APN 365-040-011) from C-l
(Neighborhood Commercial District) to C-2 (General Commercial District) (the
"Zone Change"). The three (3) subject lots, totaling approximately 9.61 acres, are
generally located at the northwest comer of Malaga Road and Casino Drive; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Lake Elsinore has been
delegated with the responsibility of approving of Zone Changes; and
WHEREAS, on February 13, 2007, at a duly noticed public hearing, the

prior to making recommendation that the City Council approve the request.
SECTION 2. That in accordance with State Planning and Zoning law and
the City of Lake Elsinore Municipal Code, the City Council makes the following
findings for the approval of Zone Change 2006-10:
1. The Zone Change will be consistent with the goals, objectives, and
policies of the General Plan and the development standards established in the Lake
Elsinore Municipal Code.
The Zone Change, which will re-zone the subject properties from their current
zoning designation of C-l (Neighborhood Commercial District) to C-2 (General

General Plan. The General Plan designation General Commercial is intended to
CITY COUNCIL ORDINANCE 1210
PAGE 2 OF 3
provide for a wide range of retail and service activities, including department
stores, restaurants, hotels, theaters, offices and specialized services. Furthermore,
Table III-5 (General Plan/Compatibility Matrix) indicates that the C-2 (General
Commercial District) designation is a zone that is compatible with General Plan
designation General Commercial.
The Zone Change is consistent with the General Plan designation General
Commercial in that its intent is to reserve appropriate locations consistent with the

potential to be detrimental to the health, safety, comfort, and welfare of the
persons residing or working within the neighborhood of the proposed amendment.
All comments made by the various City departments have been incorporated into
the project entitlements as conditions of approval. Specific conditions related to
installation and maintenance of landscaping, street dedications, regulations of
points of vehicular ingress and egress, on-site vehicular circulation, and nuisances
were integrated in order to eliminate any negative impacts to the surrounding
neighborhoods and the City.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE
AMENDING SECTIONS 16.83.020, 16.83.030, 16.83.040,
16.83.050, 16.83.060, AND 16.83.080 OF CHAPTER 16.83 OF
THE LAKE ELSINORE MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING
THE TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM MITIGATION FEE
PROGRAM
WHEREAS, Chapter 16.83 Western Riverside County Transportation
Uniform Mitigation Fee Program was added to the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code
in 2003 to establish a schedule of fees imposed on new development to enlarge the
capacity of the Regional System of Highways and Arterials; and
WHEREAS, an updated "W e~tern Riverside County Transportation Fee
Nexus Study (Nexus Study) has been prepared and is adopted and incorporated
herein; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined to amend certain sections of
Chapter 16.83 to reflect changes recommended by Western Riverside Council of
Governments ("WROG").
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE DOES
ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: Section 16.83.020 is hereby amended and restated as follows:
16. 83.020 Findings.
A. The City is a Member Agency of WRCOG, a joint powers agency
consisting of the City, the County of Riverside, and the thirteen cities situated in
Western Riverside County. Acting in concert, the Member Agencies of WRCOG
developed a plan whereby the shortfall in funds needed to enlarge the capacity of
the Regional System of Highways and Arterials in Western Riverside County (the
"Regional System") could be made up in part by a Transportation Uniform
Mitigation Fee on future residential, commercial and industrial development. A
map depicting the boundaries of Western Riverside County is available in the
office of the City Clerk and made a part hereof. As a Member Agency ofWRCOG,
the City participated in the preparation of a certain "Western Riverside County
Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Nexus Study," dated October 18, 2002
CITY COUNCIL ORDINANCE NO. 1212
PAGE 2 OF 12
("2002 Nexus Study") prepared pursuant to California Government Code, Section
66000 et seq., the Mitigation Fee Act. Based on this nexus study, the City adopted
and implemented an ordinance authorizing its participation in a Transportation
Uniform Mitigation Fee Program.
B. WRCOG with the assistance of its member agencies have now
prepared an updated "Western Riverside County Transportation Fee Nexus Study"
("Nexus Study") pursuant to California Government Code Section 66000 et seq.,
the Mitigation Fee Act, for the purpose of updating the fees imposed by Ordinance
No. 1096. The Nexus Study is available in the office of the City Clerk and made a
part hereof.
C. Consistent with its previous findings made in adoption of Ordinance
No. 1096, the City Council has been informed and advised, and hereby finds, that
future development within Western Riverside County and the Cities therein will
result in traffic volumes exceeding the capacity of the Regional System as it
presently exists.
D. The City Council has been further informed and advised, and hereby
finds, that if the capacity of the Regional System is not enlarged, the result will be
substantial traffic congestion in all parts of Western Riverside County and the City,
with unacceptable Levels of Service throughout Western Riverside County by
2030.
E. The City Council has been further advised, and so finds that funding,
in addition to those fees adopted pursuant to the 2002 Nexus Study, will be
inadequate to fund construction of the Regional System. Absent an update of the
"Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee" ("TUMF") based on the Nexus Study,
existing and known future funding sources will be inadequate to provide necessary
improvements to the Regional System, resulting in an unacceptably high level of
traffic congestion within and around Western Riverside County and the City.
F. The City Council has reviewed the Nexus Study, and hereby finds that
future development within the County and City will substantially adversely affect
the Regional System, and that unless such development contributes to the cost of
improving the Regional System, the Regional System will operate at unacceptable
Levels of Service.
CITY COUNCIL ORDINANCE NO. 1212
PAGE 3 OF 12
G. The City Council hereby finds and determines that the failure to
mitigate growing traffic impacts on the Regional System within Western Riverside
County and the City will substantially impair the ability of public safety services
(police and fire) to respond. The failure to mitigate impacts on the Regional
System will adversely affect the public health, safety and welfare.
H. The City Council further finds and determines that there is a
reasonable and rational relationship between the use of the TUMF and the type of
development projects on which the fees are imposed because the fees will be used
to construct the transportation improvements that are necessary for the safety,
health and welfare of the residential and non-residential users of the development
proj ects on which the TUMF will be levied.
1. The City Council finds and determines that there is a reasonable and
rational relationship between the need for the improvements to the Regional
System and the type of development projects on which the TUMF is imposed
because it will be necessary for the residential and non-residential users of such
projects to have access to the Regional System. Such development will benefit
from the Regional System improvements and the burden of such development will
be mitigated in part by the payment of the TUMF.
J. The City Council further finds and determines that the cost estimates
set forth in the Nexus Study are reasonable cost estimates for constructing the
Regional System improvements, and that the amount of the TUMF expected to be
generated by new development will not exceed the total fair share cost to such
development.
K. The City Council further finds that the cost estimates set forth in the
Nexus Study are reasonable cost estimates for the facilities that comprise the
Regional System; and that TUMF program revenues to be generated by new
development will not exceed the total fair share of these costs.
L. The fees collected pursuant to this Chapter shall be used to help pay
for the construction and acquisition of the Regional System improvements
identified in the Nexus Study. The need for the improvements is related to new
development because such development results in additional traffic thus creating
the demand for the improvements.
CITY COUNCIL ORDINANCE NO. 1212
PAGE 4 OF 12
M. By notice duly given and published, the City Council set the time and
place for a public hearing on the Nexus Study and the fee proposed thereunder, and
at least ten days prior to the hearing, the City made the Nexus Study available to
the public.
N. At the time and place set for the hearing, the City Council duly
considered that data and information provided by the public relative to the cost of
the services for which the fees are proposed and all other comments, whether
written or oral, submitted prior to the conclusion of the hearing.
O. The City Council finds that the Nexus Study proposes a fair and
equitable method for distributing a portion of the unfunded costs of improvements
to the Regional System.

may be amended from time to time. Furthermore, the TUMF Administrator shall
use the Fee Calculation Handbook adopted July 14,2003, as amended from time to

detailing the methodology for calculating all TUMF obligations of different
categories of new development, the purpose of the Fee Calculation Handbook is to

calculation methodology for uses not clearly defined in the respective TUMF
ordinances.

TUMF for staff support, audit, administrative expenses, and contract services that
are necessary and reasonable to carry out its responsibilities and in no case shall

F. The costs of funding the proper mitigation of natural ecosystems and biological
resources impacted by development within the City and the region are apportioned relative to the
type and extent of impacts caused by the development.
G. The facts and evidence provided to the City establish that there is a reasonable
relationship between the need for preserving the natural ecosystems in the City and the region, as
defined in the MSHCP, and the direct, indirect and cumulative impacts to such natural ecosystems

that there is a reasonable relationship between the fee's use and the types of development for which
the fee is charged. This reasonable relationship is described in more detail in the MSHCP and the
Nexus Fee Report.
H. The cost estimates for mitigating the impact of development on the City's and the
region's natural ecosystem and biological resources, as set forth in the MSHCP, are reasonable and

c. Increase in the Assigned Special Tax
The Assigned Special Taxes identified in Table 1 above shall be applicable
for Fiscal Year 2005-2006, and shall increase thereafter, commencing on July
1, 2006 and on July 1 of each Fiscal Year thereafter, by an amount equal to
two percent (2%) of the Assigned Special Tax for the previous Fiscal Year.
d. Backup Special Tax
The Fiscal Year 2005-2006 Backup Special Tax attributable to a Final
Subdivision in Zone 1 or Zone 2 will equal $19,868 multiplied by the
Acreage of all Taxable Property, exclusive of any Taxable Property Owner
Association Property and Taxable Public Property, therein. The Backup
Special Tax for each Assessor's Parcel of Residential Property shall be

Final Subdivision by the number of Assessor's Parcels for which building
permits for residential construction have or may be issued (i.e., the number or
City of Lake Elsinore December 16, 2004 (Amended May 23, 2006)
CFD No. 2004-3 (IA No.2) Page 6
residential lots). The Backup Special Tax for each Assessor's Parcel of Non-
Residential Property therein shall equal $19,868 multiplied by the Acreage of
such Assessor's Parcel.
If a Final Subdivision includes Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property for
which building permits for both residential and non-residential construction
may be issued, exclusive of Taxable Property Owner Association Property
and Taxable Public Property, then the Backup Special Tax for each
Assessor's Parcel of Residential Property shall be computed exclusive ofthe
Acreage and Assessor's Parcels of property for which building permits for
non-residential construction may be issued.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the Final
Subdivision(s) described in the preceding paragraphs is subsequently changed
or modified, then the Backup Special Tax for each Assessor's Parcel of
Developed Property in such Final Subdivision area that is changed or
modified shall be a rate per square foot of Acreage calculated as follows:
1. Determine the total Backup Special Taxes anticipated to apply to the
changed or modified Final Subdivision area prior to the change or
modification.
2. The result of paragraph 1 above shall be divided by the Acreage of
Taxable Property which is ultimately expected to exist in such changed or
modified Final Subdivision area, as reasonably determined by the CFD
Administrator.
3. The result of paragraph 2 above shall be divided by 43,560. The result is
the Backup Special Tax per square foot of Acreage which shall be
applicable to Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property in such changed
or modified Final Subdivision area for all remaining Fiscal Years in
which the Special Tax may be levied.
1. Release of Obligation to Pay and Disclose Backup Special Tax
All Assessors' Parcels within CFD No. 2004-3 (IA No.2) will be
relieved simultaneously and permanently from the obligation to pay
and disclose the Backup Special Tax if the CFD Administrator
determines that the annual debt service required for the Outstanding
Bonds, when compared to the Assigned Special Taxes that may be
levied against all Assessors' Parcels of Developed Property result in
110% debt service coverage (i.e., the Assigned Special Taxes that
may be levied against all Developed Property in each remaining
Fiscal Year based on then existing development in CFD No. 2004-3
(IA No.2) is at least equal to the sum of (i) the Administrative
City of Lake Elsinore
CFD No. 2004-3 (IA No.2)
December 16, 2004 (Amended May 23, 2006)
Page 7
Expenses and (ii) 1.10 times maximum annual debt service, in each
remaining Fiscal Year on the Outstanding Bonds).
e. Increase in the Backup Special Tax
On each July 1, commencing on July 1, 2006, the Backup Special Tax shall
be increased by an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the Backup Special
Tax for the previous Fiscal Year.
f. Multiple Land Use Classes
In some instances an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property may contain
more than one Land Use Class. The Maximum Special Tax levied on an
Assessor's Parcel shall be the sum ofthe Maximum Special Tax for all Land
Use Classes located on that Assessor's Parcel. The CFD Administrator's
allocation to each type of property shall be final.
2. Taxable Property Owner Association Property, Taxable Public Property, and
Undeveloped Property
The Fiscal Year 2005-2006 Maximum Special Tax for Taxable Property Owner
Association Property, Taxable Public Property, and Undeveloped Property in Zone 1
or Zone 2 shall be $19,868 per Acre, and shall increase thereafter, commencing on
July 1, 2006 and on July 1 of each Fiscal Year thereafter, by an amount equal to two
percent (2%) of the Maximum Special Tax for the previous Fiscal Year.
D. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Commencing with Fiscal Year 2005-2006 and for each following Fiscal Year, the City
Council shall levy the Special Tax until the amount of Special Taxes levied equals the
Special Tax Requirement. The Special Tax shall be levied each Fiscal Year as follows:
First: The Special Tax shall be levied on each Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property in
Zone 1 and Zone 2 in an amount equal to 100% of the applicable Assigned Special Tax;
Second: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the
first step has been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each
Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property in Zone 1 and Zone 2 at up to 100% of the
applicable Maximum Special Tax for Undeveloped Property;
Third: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first
two steps have been completed, then the levy of the Special Tax on each Assessor's Parcel of
Developed Property in Zone 1 and Zone 2 whose Maximum Special Tax is determined
through the application of the Backup Special Tax shall be increased Proportionately from
the Assigned Special Tax up to the Maximum Special Tax for each such Assessor's Parcel;
City of Lake Elsinore
CFD No. 2004-3 (IA No.2)
December 16, 2004 (Amended May 23, 2006)
Page 8
Fourth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first
three steps have been completed, then the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each
Assessor's Parcel of Taxable Property Owner Association Property and Taxable Public
Property in Zone I and Zone 2 at up to the applicable Maximum Special Tax for Taxable
Property Owner Association Property or Taxable Public Property.
Notwithstanding the above the City Council may, in any Fiscal Year, levy Proportionately
less than 100% of the Assigned Special Tax in step one (above), when (i) the City Council is
no longer required to levy the Special Tax pursuant to steps two through four above in order
to meet the Special Tax Requirement; and (ii) all authorized CFD No. 2004-3 (IA No.2)
Bonds have already been issued or the City Council has covenanted that it will not issue any
additional CFD No. 2004-3 (IA No.2) Bonds (except refunding bonds) to be supported by
the Special Tax.
Further notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied
against any Assessor's Parcel of Residential Property for which an occupancy permit for
private residential use has been issued be increased by more than ten percent as a
consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other Assessor's Parcel within
CFD No. 2004-3 (IA No.2).
E. EXEMPTIONS
The City shall classify Property Owner Association Property and/or Public Property in CFD
No. 2004-3 (IA No.2) as exempt property, provided that no such classification would reduce
the Acreage of all Taxable Property to less than 75.86 Acres. Tax-exempt status will be
assigned by the CFD Administrator in the chronological order in which property becomes
Property Owner Association Property or Public Property. However, should an Assessor's
Parcel no longer be classified as Property Owner Association Property or Public Property, its
tax -exempt status will be revoked.
Property Owner Association Property or Public Property that is not exempt from Special
Taxes under this section shall be subject to the levy of the Special Tax and shall be taxed
Proportionately as part of the fourth step in Section D above, at up to 100% of the applicable
Maximum Special Tax for Taxable Property Owner Association Property or Taxable Public
Property.
F. MANNER OF COLLECTION
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad
valorem property taxes; provided, however, that CFD No. 2004-3 (IA No.2) may directly bill
the Special Tax, may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner if
necessary to meet its financial obligations, and may covenant to foreclose and may actually
foreclose on delinquent Assessor's Parcels as permitted by the Act.

3. (a) Divide the Assigned Special Tax computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total
estimated Assigned Special Taxes for the entire CFD No. 2004-3 (IA No.2) based on
the Developed Property Special Taxes which could be levied in the current Fiscal
Year on all expected development through Buildout of CFD No. 2004-3 (IA No.2),
excluding any Assessor's Parcels which have been prepaid, and
(b) Divide the Backup Special Tax computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total
estimated Backup Special Taxes at Buildout for the entire CFD No. 2004-3 (IA No.
2), excluding any Assessor's Parcels which have been prepaid.
4. Multiply the larger quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3(a) or 3(b) by the
Previously Issued Bonds to compute the amount of Previously Issued Bonds to be
retired and prepaid (the "Bond Redemption Amount").
5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to paragraph 4 by the
applicable redemption premium (e.g., the redemption price-l00%), if any, on the
Previously Issued Bonds to be redeemed (the "Redemption Premium").
6. Compute the current Future Facilities Costs.
7. Multiply the larger quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3(a) or 3(b) by the
amount determined pursuant to paragraph 6 to compute the amount of Future
Facilities Costs to be prepaid (the "Future Facilities Amount").
8. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from
the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year
until the earliest redemption date for the Previously Issued Bonds.
9. Determine the Special Tax levied on the Assessor's Parcel in the current Fiscal Year
which has not yet been paid.
10. Compute the minimum amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive
from the reinvestment of the Special Tax Prepayment Amount less the Future
Facilities Amount and the Administrative Fees and Expenses (defined below) from
the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Previously Issued Bonds to
be redeemed with the prepayment.
11. Add the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 8 and 9 and subtract the amount
computed pursuant to paragraph 10 (the "Defeasance Amount").
12. The administrative fees and expenses ofCFD No. 2004-3 (IA No.2) are as calculated
by the CFD Administrator and include the costs of computation of the prepayment,
the costs to invest the prepayment proceeds, the costs of redeeming CFD No. 2004-3
City of Lake Elsinore
CFD No. 2004-3 (IA No.2)

(IA No.2) Bonds, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment
and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and Expenses").
13. The reserve fund credit (the "Reserve Fund Credit") shall equal the lesser of: (a) the
expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any,
associated with the redemption of Previously Issued Bonds as a result of the
prepayment, or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as
defined in the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Previously Issued Bonds as
a result of the prepayment from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment
date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero. No Reserve Fund Credit
shall be granted if the amount then on deposit in the reserve fund for the Previously
Issued Bonds is below 100% of the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture).
14. If any capitalized interest for the Previously Issued Bonds will not have been
expended as of the date immediately following the first interest and/or principal
payment following the current Fiscal Year, a capitalized interest credit shall be
calculated by multiplying the larger quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3(a) or
3(b) by the expected balance in the capitalized interest fund or account under the
Indenture after such first interest and/or principal payment (the "Capitalized Interest
Credit").
15. The Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed pursuant
to paragraphs 4, 5, 7, 11 and 12, less the amounts computed pursuant to
paragraphs 13 and 14 (the "Prepayment Amount").
From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 4, 5, 11, 13
and 14 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the Indenture and be
used to retire CFD No. 2004-3 (IA No.2) Bonds or make debt service payments. The
amount computed pursuant to paragraph 7 shall be deposited into the Improvement Fund.
The amount computed pursuant to paragraph 12 shall be retained by CFD No. 2004-3 (IA
No.2).
The Special Tax Prepayment Amount may be insufficient to redeem a full $5,000 increment
ofCFD No. 2004-3 (IA No.2) Bonds. In such cases, the increment above $5,000 or integral
multiple thereof will be retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be
used with the next prepayment ofCFD No. 2004-3 (IA No.2) Bonds or to make debt service
payments.
As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax levy as determined under
paragraph 9 (above), the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year's Special
Tax levy for such Assessor's Parcel from the County tax rolls. With respect to any
Assessor's Parcel that is prepaid, the City Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded
in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment ofthe Special Tax and the release of
the Special Tax lien on such Assessor's Parcel, and the obligation of such Assessor's Parcel
to pay the Special Tax shall cease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless, at the
time of such proposed prepayment, the amount of Maximum Special Taxes that may be
levied on Taxable Property within CFD No. 2004-3 (IA No.2) both prior to and after the
proposed prepayment is at least equal to the sum of (i) the Administrative Expenses and (ii)
1.10 times maximum annual debt service, in each remaining Fiscal Year on the Outstanding
Bonds.
2. Prepayment in Part
The Special Tax on an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property or an Assessor's Parcel of
Undeveloped Property for which a building permit has been issued may be partially prepaid.
The amount of the prepayment shall be calculated as in Section H.1; except that a partial
prepayment shall be calculated according to the following formula:
PP = [(PE - A) x F] + A
These terms have the following meaning:
PP = the partial prepayment.
PE = the Special Tax Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section H.1.
F = the percentage, expressed as a decimal, by which the owner of the Assessor's Parcel
is partially prepaying the Special Tax.
A = the Administrative Fees and Expenses calculated according to Section H.1.
The owner of any Assessor's Parcel who desires such prepayment shall notify the CFD
Administrator of such owner's intent to partially prepay the Special Tax and the percentage
by which the Special Tax shall be prepaid. The CFD Administrator shall provide the owner
with a statement of the amount required for the partial prepayment of the Special Tax for an
Assessor's Parcel within 30 days of the request and may charge a reasonable fee for
providing this service. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel that is partially prepaid, the
City Council shall (i) distribute the funds remitted to it according to Section H.1, and (ii)
indicate in the records of CFD No. 2004-3 (IA No.2) that there has been a partial
prepayment of the Special Tax and that a portion of the Special Tax with respect to such
Assessor's Parcel, equal to the outstanding percentage (1.00 - F) of the remaining Maximum
Special Tax, shall continue to be levied on such Assessor's Parcel pursuant to Section D.
I. TERM OF SPECIAL TAX
The Special Tax shall be levied for a period not to exceed forty years commencing with
Fiscal Year 2005-2006, provided however that Special Taxes will cease to be levied in an
earlier Fiscal Year if the CFD Administrator has determined (i) that all required interest and
principal payments on the CFD No. 2004-3 (IA No.2) Bonds have been paid; and (ii) all
Authorized Facilities have been constructed.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, ADDING CHAPTER 17.18 OF
THE LAKE ELSINORE MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING THE R-
M-R: RURAL MOUNTAINOUS RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT AND
ADOPTION OF A NEGATIVE DECLARATION THEREFOR
WHEREAS, Section 65860 of the California Government Code requires
that a city's zoning ordinance be consistent with the city's general plan and that in
the event that a zoning ordinance becomes inconsistent with a general plan by
reason of amendment to the plan, or to any element of the plan, the zoning
ordinance shall be amended within a reasonable time so that it is consistent with
the general plan; and
WHEREAS, the Lake Elsinore General Plan contains a land use designation
of Mountainous (M), which permits one (1) residential dwelling unit per ten (10)
acres, for residential development in areas containing steep slopes, rugged terrain,
limited or no access, and limited public services and utilities; and
WHEREAS, the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code does not contain a zoning
designation that corresponds to the General Plan Mountainous (M) designation;
and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to create a new zoning designation to
provide development guidelines for properties that are designated as Mountainous
(M) in the City's General Plan; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Title 14 of the California Code of
Regulations, Section 15070, the City of Lake Elsinore prepared a proposed
negative declaration to analyze the potential environmental impacts associated with
the City's adoption of the R-M-R Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, on April 3, 2007, the Lake Elsinore Planning Commission
reviewed and analyzed the proposed R-M-R Ordinance and made a
recommendation to the City Council that the Ordinance be adopted; and
WHEREAS, the City Council is responsible for making decisions regarding
zoning ordinances; and
WHEREAS, public notice of the R-M-R Ordinance has been given, and the
City Council has considered evidence presented by the Community Development

PAGE 2 OF 13
Department and other interested parties at a public hearing held with respect to this
item on April 24, 2007.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE DOES
ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council considered the proposed Negative
Declaration before making its decision to approve the environmental document.
SECTION 2. The City Council hereby finds and determines that in
accordance with Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 15070 it
was appropriate to prepare a Negative Declaration for the R-M-R Ordinance
because the initial study showed that there was no substantial evidence, in light of
the whole record, that the project may have a significant effect on the environment.
The purpose of the R-M-R Ordinance is to bring the Zoning Code into conformity
with the City's General Plan. Impacts associated with development of future
projects that have an R-M-R zoning designation will be analyzed as part of those
particular projects.
SECTION 3. In accordance with Government Code Section 65855, the
City Council sets forth the following reasons to approve the proposed R-M-R
Ordinance:
1. Currently, the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code does not have a zoning
designation that is consistent with the General Plan Mountainous (M)
designation. As a result, the City has not established development standards,
including density and intensity of development, to guide new construction
on those parcels with a General Plan Mountainous (M) designation. As
development in the City continues, it will be necessary to have standards
applicable to the General Plan Mountainous (M) designation. Adoption of
the R-M-R Ordinance brings the Zoning Code into conformity with the
General Plan.
2. The R-M-R Ordinance will provide opportunities to create extremely low
density residential development in areas containing steep slopes, rugged
terrain, limited or no access, and limited public services and utilities.
CITY COUNCIL ORDINANCE NO. 1220
PAGE 3 OF 13
3. The R-M-R Ordinance will permit one (1) residential dwelling unit per ten
(10) acres of land.

Elsinore Municipal Code as follows:

ORDINANCE NO. 1221
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING
AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE CANYON HILLS SPECIFIC
PLAN
WHEREAS, Pardee Homes, has filed an application with the City of Lake
Elsinore requesting approval of Amendment No. 2 to the Canyon Hills Specific
Plan (the "Amendment"). The 1,969-acre Canyon Hills Specific Plan site is
located between I-IS and 1-215, along Railroad Canyon Road, within the western
portion of the City; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Lake Elsinore
considered the proposed Amendment at its regularly scheduled March 20, 2007
meeting and made a recommendation that the City Council approve the proposed
Amendment; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Lake Elsinore is responsible for
making decisions relating to the approval or amendment of specific plans; and
WHEREAS, public notice of the Project has been given, and the City
Council has considered the recommendation of the Planning Commission,
evidence presented by the Community Development Department and other
interested parties at a public hearing held with respect to this item on April 24,
2007.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE DOES
ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Prior to making a decision, the City Council has reviewed
and analyzed the Amendment pursuant to the Planning and Zoning Laws (Cal.
Gov. Code ~~ 65000 et seq.) and Chapter 17.99 of the Lake Elsinore Municipal
Code.
SECTION 2. That in accordance with State Planning and Zoning laws and
the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code, the City Council makes the following findings
for the approval of Amendment No.2 to the Canyon Hills Specific Plan:
1. The location and design of the proposed development shall be
consistent with the goals and policies of the City's General Plan and with any other
applicable plan or policies adopted by the City.
CITY COUNCIL ORDINANCE NO. 1221
PAGE20F5
The Amendment meets the City's Specific Plan criteria for content and required
implementation of the General Plan established by Section 65450 et seq. of the
California Government Code and Section 17.99 of the City of Lake Elsinore
Municipal Code. Accordingly, the proposed Amendment is in concurrence with the
objectives of the General Plan and the purpose of the planning district in which the
site is located.
2. The proposed location shall allow the development to be well-
integrated with or adequately buffered from its surroundings, whichever may be
the case.
The proposed Amendment is appropriate to the site and surrounding developments
in that multi-family attached units and a school will be developed in accordance
with appropriate development and design standards contained in the Canyon Hills
Specific Plan Amendment No.2. The Amendment will facilitate the creation of
interest and varying vistas as a person moves along the streets within and abutting
the affected Planning Areas. The Amendment also complements the quality of
existing neighboring development and will continue to provide visually-pleasing
design and architecture within the immediate area.
3. All vehicular traffic generated by the development, either in phased
increments or at full build-out, is to be accommodated safely and without causing
undue congestion upon adjoining streets.
The width and type of pavement needed to carry the type and quantity of traffic
generated proposed by the proposed Amendment has been reviewed. The City has
adequately evaluated the potential impacts associated with the proposed uses prior
to its approval and has imposed conditions to ensure that the development is
properly served by roads of adequate capacity and design standards to provide
reasonable access by car, truck, transit, and bicycle.
4. The Final Specific Plan Amendment No. 2 shall identify a
methodology(s) to allow land uses to be adequately serviced by existing or
proposed public facilities and services. In appropriate circumstances, and as
provided elsewhere by City Code, the City may require that suitable areas be
reserved for schools, parks and pedestrian ways; or public open spaces shall be
CITY COUNCIL ORDINANCE NO. 1221
PAGE 3 OF 5
dedicated or reserved by private covenant for the common use of residents,
establishments or operations in the development.
The Final Specific Plan Amendment No.2 properly identifies methodologies to
allow land uses to be adequately serviced by existing or proposed public facilities
and services. The Final Specific Plan Amendment No. 2 identifies necessary
streets and circulation to support the proposed land use allocations, as well as all
necessary wet and dry utilities for proper and adequate infrastructure services. In
addition, the Final Specific Plan Amendment No. 2 identifies community and
neighborhood parks for common use of the residents, public schools, and open
space for dedication and preservation.
5. The overall design of Specific Plan Amendment No.2 will produce an
attractive, efficient and stable development.
The proposed Amendment has been designed in consideration of the size and shape
of the property, thereby, strengthening and enhancing the immediate areas. The
Parks ide Terrace development will complement the quality of neighboring existing
and future uses and will create visually-pleasing neighborhood appeal.
The proposed Amendment will not be detrimental to the health, safety, comfort or
general welfare of the persons residing or working near the project area or within
the City, nor will it be injurious to property or improvements in the project area or
within the City. All applicable City Departments and Agencies have been afforded
the opportunity for a thorough review of the proposed Amendment and have
incorporated all applicable comments and/or conditions related to installation and
maintenance of landscaping, street dedications, regulations of points of vehicular
ingress and egress and control of potential nuisances, so as to eliminate any
negative impacts to the general health, safety, comfort, or general welfare of the
surrounding neighborhood or the City.
6. In accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), impacts have been reduced to a level of non-significance, or
in the case where impacts remain; a statement of overriding considerations must be
adopted to justify the merits of project implementation.
The Addendum to the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Canyon Hills
Specific Plan is adequate and prepared in accordance with the requirements of the
CITY COUNCIL ORDINANCE NO. 1221
PAGE 4 OF 5
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) which analyzes environmental
effects of Canyon Hills Specific Plan Amendment No.2.
SECTION 3. Based upon the above findings, the Staff Report, conditions
of approval and documentary and oral testimony presented, the City Council
hereby approves Amendment No.2 to the Canyon Hills Specific Plan.
SECTION 4. If any provision, clause, sentence or paragraph of this
Ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall be held
invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the other provisions of this Ordinance and
are hereby declared to be severable.
SECTION 5. This Ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after the
date of its final passage. The Interim City Clerk shall certify as to adoption of this
Ordinance and cause this Ordinance to be published and posted in the manner
required by law.

ORDINANCE NO. 1222
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING AND RESTATING
CHAPTER 5.18 OF THE LAKE ELSINORE MUNICIPAL CODE
REGARDING MASSEURS, MASSEUSES AND MASSAGE
PARLORS
WHEREAS, Chapter 5.18 of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code regulates
the masseurs, masseuses and massage parlors within the City of Lake Elsinore; and
WHEREAS, the permit requirements and restrictions imposed by this
amendment to Chapter 5.18 are reasonably necessary to protect the public health,
safety and welfare of the citizens of the City of Lake Elsinore by providing
minimum building, sanitation and health standards for those establishments in
which the practice of massage is performed, and to insure that the persons offering
services therein shall possess the minimum qualifications necessary to operate such
businesses and to perform such services offered; and
WHEREAS, the City of Lake Elsinore is authorized, by virtue of the State
Constitution and California Government Code Section 51031, to regulate massage
establishments by imposing reasonable standards relative to the skill and
experience of massage operators and massage technicians and reasonable
conditions on the operation of the massage establishment; and
WHEREAS, there is a significant risk of injury to massage clients by
improperly trained and/or educated massage technicians, and this amendment
provides reasonable safeguards against injury and economic loss; and
WHEREAS, there is opportunity for acts of prostitution and other unlawful
sexual activity to occur in massage establishments. Courts have long recognized
massage as a pervasively regulated activity and that massage establishments are
often brothels in disguise. The establishment of reasonable standards for issuance
of permits and restrictions on operations would serve to reduce the risk of illegal
activity; and
WHEREAS, the restrictions and requirements contained in this amendment
reduce the burdens on the Police Department and permit the deployment of the
police personnel such that more serious crimes may be prevented and more
important laws enforced; and
CITY COUNCIL ORDINANCE NO. 1222
PAGE 2 OF 36

ORDINANCE NO. 1228
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING
RAMSGATE SPECIFIC PLAN NO. 89-1 SIXTH REVISION
(SP A6)
WHEREAS, the Shopoff Group filed an application with the City of Lake
Elsinore to amend the Ramsgate Specific Plan No. 89-1 with a Sixth Revision (the
"Specific Plan Amendment"); and
WHEREAS, Government Code Section 65453(a) states that a specific
plan shall be amended in the same manner as a general plan, except that a specific
plan may be adopted by resolution or by ordinance and may be amended as often as
deemed necessary by the legislative body; and
WHEREAS, it is the policy of Lake Elsinore that Specific Plans serve as
zoning mechanisms and specific plan amendments shall be approved by ordinance of
the City Council; and
WHEREAS, after considering the Specific Plan Amendment at a regular
meeting held on July 17, 2007, the Planning Commission of the City of Lake Elsinore
recommended that the City Council approve Ramsgate Specific Plan No. 89-1 Sixth
Revision; and
WHEREAS, public notice of the Specific Plan Amendment has been
given, and the City Council has considered the Planning Commission's
recommendation and evidence presented by the Community Development Department
and other interested parties at a public hearing held with respect to this item on
August 14, 2007.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE
ELSINORE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council has considered the proposed Specific Plan
Amendment prior to making a decision. The City Council finds and determines that the
proposed Specific Plan Amendment is consistent with the goals and policies of the Lake
Elsinore General Plan and the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code.
SECTION 2. That in accordance with State Planning and Zoning Law and
Chapter 17.99 of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code, the City Council makes the
following findings for approval of the Specific Plan Amendment:
1. The location and design of the proposed development is consistent with the
goals and policies of the City's General Plan and with any other applicable plan
or policies adopted by the City, or in the process of being prepared and adopted.
1
The General Plan supports the development of the Ramsgate Specific Plan. The
Specific Plan Amendment adds acreage that is contiguous to the City's southern
boundary into this planning area. The proposed Specific Plan Amendment has
been reviewed and conditioned to enhance and update the previous revisions to
the Ramsgate Specific Plan.
The proposed Specific Plan Amendment has been designed to support the
objectives of the Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan adopted by the City, by
preserving habitat areas identified in the Conservation Plan.
The Specific Plan Amendment has been considered and accounted for in the
Draft General Plan Update. The Specific Plan Amendment is consistent with
proposed land uses on its western boundary.
2. The proposed location allows the development to be well-integrated with or
adequately buffered from its surroundings, whichever may be the case.
The Specific Plan Amendment provides for the development of low density
residential in proposed Tentative Tract Map No. 32537, which is an extension of
the single-family detached residential neighborhoods adjacent to the west and
under construction to the east.
Development standards for a 4,600 square foot product line in Tentative Tract
Map No. 35422 are proposed as part of the Specific Plan Amendment. A lot of
this size is more compatible with the higher density residential, light industrial and
commercial land uses proposed for properties to the west in the City's General
Plan Update.
3. All vehicular traffic generated by the development, either in phased increments or
at full build-out, is to be accommodated safely and without causing undue
congestion upon adjoining streets.
A Traffic Impact Analysis (TlA) was prepared by Urban Crossroads in January
2007. The results of the TIA revealed that the proposed TTM 32537 would
generate 699 daily trips (55 a.m. peak hour trips and 74 p.m. peak hour trips),
and that the proposed TTM 35422 would generate 1,924 daily trips (151 a.m.
peak hour trips and 203 p.m. peak hour trips).
The City of Lake Elsinore General Plan states that the objective of the City is to
"strive to maintain a minimum Level of Service 'c' at all intersections during non-
peak hours and Level of Service (LOS)'D' at all intersections during peak hours
to ensure that traffic delays are kept to a minimum." With the incorporation of
mitigation measures in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, the
project will meet LOS '0' objective.
2
4. The Final Specific Plan shall identify a methodology to allow land uses to be
adequately serviced by existing or proposed public facilities and services.
The Specific Plan Amendment has been reviewed and conditioned to provide
adequate public services to support the anticipated development. In addition,
recreational amenities, pedestrian pathways, and open space for residents in the
two proposed tract maps is required by the Specific Plan Amendment.
5. The overall design of the Specific Plan shall produce an attractive, efficient and
stable development.
The Specific Plan Amendment will allow the construction of single family
neighborhoods in the western portion of the Plan with parks, amenities, and
primary and secondary access.
6. In accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), impacts have been reduced to a less than significant level through
adoption of mitigation measures, the Mitigation and Monitoring Program, and
conditions of approval.
SECTION 3. Based upon all of the evidence presented, both written and
testimonial, the above findings, and the conditions of approval imposed upon the
Project, the City Council hereby adopts an Ordinance amending the Ramsgate Specific
Plan for a sixth revision.
SECTION 4. If any provision, clause, sentence or paragraph of this
Ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall be held invalid,
such invalidity shall not affect the other provisions of this Ordinance and are hereby
declared to be severable.
SECTION 5. This Ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after the
date of its final passage. The City Clerk shall certify as to adoption of this Ordinance
and cause this Ordinance to be published and posted in the manner required by law.
PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the City
Council of the City of Lake Elsinore, California, on this h ay August 2007.

ORDINANCE NO. 1229
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE,
CALIFORNIA, APPROVING PRE-ANNEXATION ZONE
CHANGE NO. 2007-01
WHEREAS, the Shopoff Group has submitted an application with the City
of Lake Elsinore to Pre-Zone 75.1 acres of land proposed for annexation into the City of
Lake Elsinore located south of State Route 74 (Central Avenue), north of Wasson
Canyon, west of Rosetta Canyon Drive, and east of Cambern and Conard Avenues
(APNs 347-330-001, -002, -022, -023, -065, -067 through -074; 347-360-001 and 002;
377-100-006, -009 and -010: the "Property") which will change the City's official zoning
map and designate the Property as Ramsgate SP (the "Pre-Zone"); and
WHEREAS, Government Code Section 56375 indicates that as a
condition to annexation, a city shall pre-zone the territory to be annexed or present
evidence satisfactory to the Local Agency Formation Commission ("LAFCQ") that the
existing development entitlements on the territory are vested or built-out, and are
consistent with the city's general plan; and
WHEREAS, the Pre-Zone conforms to and is consistent with the proposed
General Plan Amendment No. 2007-01 for the Property; and
WHEREAS, after considering the Pre-Zone at a regular meeting held on
July 17, 2007, the Planning Commission of the City of Lake Elsinore recommended that
the City Council approve Pre-Annexation Zone Change No. 2007-01; and
WHEREAS, public notice of the Pre-Zone has been given, and the City
Council has considered the Planning Commission's recommendation and evidence
presented by the Community Development Department and other interested parties at a
public hearing held with respect to this item on August 14, 2007.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE
ELSINORE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council has considered the proposed Pre-Zone
prior to making a decision to approve Pre-Annexation Zone Change No. 2007-01.
SECTION 2. That in accordance with the Cortese Knox Hertzberg Local
Government Reorganization Act of 2000, the State Planning and Zoning Law, and the
Lake Elsinore Municipal Code, the City Council makes the following findings for the
approval of Pre-Annexation Zone Change No. 2007-01:
1. The proposed zone change will not be: a) detrimental to the health, safety,
comfort or general welfare of the persons residing or working within the
neighborhood of the proposed zone change or within the City, or b) injurious to
the property or improvements in the neighborhood or within the City.
1
-
The proposed Pre-Zone has been analyzed relative to its potential to have
detrimental effects. It has been determined that the health, safety and welfare of
surrounding residents may be improved as a result of future improvements to
infrastructure such as water, sewer, paving and drainage facilities brought to the
site as a requirement of any future development. The proposed "Ramsgate SP"
zoning will ensure that development standards and design guidelines of the
specific plan will be consistently applied throughout the site.
2. The proposed zone change will permit reasonable development of the area
consistent with its constraints and will make the area more compatible with
adjacent properties.
The proposed zoning of "Ramsgate SP" will allow for the continuation of the
single family residential neighborhoods that already exist or are under
construction to the east.
3. The proposed zone change would establish a land use density and usage more
in character with the subject property's location, access, and constraints.
The zone change proposes a boundary adjustment to allow for an integration of
the Property with the adjacent Ramsgate Specific Plan. The zone change allows
for the development of the Property in accordance with proposed Tentative Tract
Map Nos. 32537 and 35422, which provide a 5.6 acre park and two small pocket
parks, walking trails, water basins, and open space lots.
SECTION 3. Based upon all of the evidence presented, both written and
testimonial, the above findings, and the conditions of approval imposed upon the
Project, the City Council approves Pre-Annexation Zone Change No. 2007-01.
SECTION 4. If any provision, clause, sentence or paragraph of this
Ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall be held invalid,
such invalidity shall not affect the other provisions of this Ordinance and are hereby
declared to be severable.
SECTION 5. This Ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after the
date of its final passage. The City Clerk shall certify as to adoption of this Ordinance
and cause this Ordinance to be published and posted in the manner required by law.

ORDINANCE NO. 1230
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, ADDING CHAPTER 5.46
TO THE LAKE ELSINORE MUNICIPAL CODE
REGARDING THE LICENSURE OF TOBACCO
RETAILERS
WHEREAS, Minors obtain cigarettes and other tobacco products at
alarming rates. Each year, an estimated 924 million packs of cigarettes are consumed
by minors 12 to 17 years of age, yielding the tobacco industry $480 million in profits
from underage smokers nationwide. In Riverside County, 10,000 teens light up for the
first time and purchase 5 million packs of cigarettes a year; and
WHEREAS, In a 2004 California youth-buying survey, 12% of retailers
surveyed unlawfully sold tobacco product to minors; and
WHEREAS, The rate of tobacco sales to minors in Riverside County is
one of the highest in the State at 44%; and
WHEREAS, 88% of adults who have ever smoked tried their first cigarette
by the age of 18, and the average age at which smokers try their first cigarette is 14%;
and
WHEREAS, A requirement for a tobacco retailer license will not unduly
burden legitimate business activities of retailers who sell or distribute cigarettes or other
tobacco products to adults. It will, however, allow the City to regulate the operation of
lawful businesses to discourage violations of federal, state, and local tobacco-related
laws; and
WHEREAS, 65% of California's key opinion leaders surveyed support
implementation of tobacco-licensing requirements; and
WHEREAS, the City of Lake Elsinore has a substantial interest in
promoting compliance with federal, state, and local laws intended to regulate tobacco
sales and use; in discouraging the illegal purchase of tobacco products by minors; in
promoting compliance with laws prohibiting sales of cigarettes and tobacco products to
minors; and finally, and most importantly, in protecting children from being lured into
illegal activity through the misconduct of adults; and
WHEREAS, It is the intent of this Ordinance to encourage responsible
tobacco retailing and to discourage violations of tobacco-related laws, especially those
that prohibit or discourage the sale or distribution of tobacco products to minors, but not
to expand or reduce the degree to which the acts regulated by federal or state law are
criminally proscribed or to alter the penalty provided therefor.
1
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE
ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS:

Transaction.
"Department" means any City department designated to administer and/or enforce the

or does have, or can or does share, ultimate control over the day-to-day operations of a
business.
"Self-Service Display" means the open display of Tobacco Products or Tobacco
Paraphernalia in a manner that is accessible to the general public without the
assistance of the retailer or employee of the retailer. A Vending Machine is a form of

any other weed or plant (including a lighted pipe, lighted cigar, or lighted cigarette of any
kind), the lighting of a Tobacco Product, Tobacco Paraphernalia, or any other weed or
plant (including a pipe, cigar, or cigarette of any kind).
2

smoking materials of all types, cigarette rolling machines, and any other item designed

sale, or otherwise distributed with the expectation that the product or matter will be
introduced into the human body but does not include any product specifically approved
by the Federal Food and Drug Administration for use in treating nicotine or tobacco
product dependence.
"Tobacco Retailer" means any Person who sells, offers for sale, or does or offers to
exchange for any form of consideration, tobacco, Tobacco Products, or Tobacco
Paraphernalia; "Tobacco Retailing" shall mean the doing of any of these things. This

5.46.020
Tobacco License Prerequisite; Application Process.
A. It shall be unlawful for any Person to act as a Tobacco Retailer without

C. Nothing in this Ordinance shall be construed to grant any Person obtaining
and maintaining a Tobacco Retailer's license any status or right other than the right to
act as a Tobacco Retailer at the location in the City identified on the face of the license.

supercede, or apply in lieu of any other provision of applicable law, including, without

made applicable to business establishments by California Labor Code section 6404.5.
D. Application for a Tobacco Retailer's license shall be submitted in the name
of each Proprietor proposing to conduct retail tobacco sales and shall be signed by
each Proprietor or an authorized agent thereof. It is the responsibility of each Proprietor
3
to be informed of the laws affecting the issuance of a Tobacco Retailer's license. A
license that is issued in error or on the basis of false or misleading information supplied
by a Proprietor shall be revoked pursuant to Section 5.46.080.0. of this Ordinance.
E. In addition to any other penalty under this Ordinance, a Person found to
have engaged in Tobacco Retailing without a valid Tobacco Retailer's license shall be
ineligible to apply for or be issued a Tobacco Retailing license according to the

period, no new license may issue for the Person as a Proprietor until ninety (90) days
have passed from the date of last violation.
3. After three or more violations for a Person within any sixty-month
(60) period, no new license may issue for the Person as a Proprietor until five (5) years

exchange in violation of this Ordinance are subject to seizure and forfeiture. Forfeited
Tobacco Products and Tobacco Paraphernalia shall be destroyed.
G. All applications shall be submitted on a form supplied by the Department
and shall contain the following information:
1. The name, address, and telephone number of each Proprietor.
2. The business name, address, and telephone number of the single
fixed location for which a Tobacco Retailer's license is sought.
3. The name and mailing address authorized by each Proprietor to

sought has been issued a valid state tobacco retailer's license by the California Board of
Equalization.
4
5. Whether or not any Proprietor is a Person who has been
determined to have violated this Ordinance or has been a Proprietor at a location that

of all such violations.
6. Such other information as the Department deems necessary for the
administration or enforcement of this Ordinance.
5.46.030
License Issuance; Standards.
A. No license may issue to authorize Tobacco Retailing at other than a fixed
location. Tobacco Retailing by Persons on foot and Tobacco Retailing from vehicles are
prohibited.
B. Upon the receipt of an application for a Tobacco Retailer's license and the
license fee, the Department shall issue a license unless substantial record evidence
demonstrates that one of the following bases for denial exists:
1. The application is incomplete or inaccurate.
2. The application seeks authorization for Tobacco Retailing at a
location for which a prohibition on issuing licenses is in effect pursuant to Section
5.46.080.B. of this Ordinance. However, this subparagraph shall not constitute a basis
for denial of a license if the applicant provides the City with documentation
demonstrating by clear and convincing evidence that the applicant has acquired or is
acquiring the location or business in an Arm's Length Transaction.
3. The application seeks authorization for Tobacco Retailing for a
Proprietor for which a prohibition on issuing licenses is in effect pursuant to Section
5.46.080.E. of this Ordinance.
4. The application seeks authorization for Tobacco Retailing that is
prohibited pursuant to Section 5.46.030.A. of this Ordinance, that is unlawful pursuant to
any other City Ordinance, or that is unlawful pursuant to any other local, state, or federal
law.
5.46.040
Licenses Nontransferable.
A. Tobacco Retailer's license is nontransferable. If the information required
in the license application pursuant to Section 5.46.020.G. 1, 2, or 3 changes, a new
Tobacco Retailer's license is required before the business may continue to act as a
Tobacco Retailer. For example, if a Proprietor to whom a license has been issued
changes business location, that Proprietor must apply for a new license prior to acting
as a Tobacco Retailer at the new location. Or if the business is sold, the new owner
must apply for a license for that location before acting as a Tobacco Retailer.
5
B. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance, violations

Manufacturing District, the purpose of which is to accommodate mineral resource
extraction and related manufacturing specifically to expand both the economic base of
the City and employment opportunities; and
WHEREAS, addition of the new Chapter 17.61 rendered the terms of
Chapter 17.06 superfluous and unnecessary because Chapter 17.61 more thoroughly
outlines the application process and the regulations regarding treatment and extraction
of natural resources within the City's limits; and
WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to delete Chapter 17.06 and reserve
that Chapter for possible future overlay zones; and
