Leonard Leichnitz of Lumos Communities, 30713 Riverside Drive, Lake Elsinore, said the project is very creative and looks forward to visiting it. Chairman O'Neal closed the Public Hearing at 6:45 pm. PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS Commissioner Mendoza said it's a fantastic establishment, but had parking concerns. He also recommended putting signs up stating "Anyone who is renting banquet rooms for private parties are responsible for under age drinking and are subject to fines and/or jail time. He also said he had no problem with the modification of Condition No. 41, as long as there is a time limit set on the Traffic Study. Commissioner Flores agreed with Commissioner Mendoza to modify Condition No. 41 which would allow the bar to be opened as long as it within the guidelines of the parking regulations, minus the banquet rooms which are not being used, the arcade, and the outdoor dining which we won't see until June, the applicant would all fall into the requirements for the parking for the sports bar area to be maintained and open. Therefore, he thinks that the modification should be provided and would like to assist him in continuing his operation. Commissioner Zanelli asked Director of Community Development Preisendanz how long it would take to get a Pazking Study done. Director of Community Development Preisendanz said the Parking Studies are done quickly. Planning Manager Weiner stated that the restaurant and dining area encompass 11,000 squaze feet of the site, which requires a large number of pazking spaces. Therefore, if the Commission finds it acceptable, it would be appropriate for the Sports Bar to be excluded from that Condition and when the Parking Study is completed then they can proceed without inhibiting the Sports Bar opening. Commissioner Zanelli supported approving the modifications to Condition No. 41. Chairman O'Neal asked Planning Manager Weiner about permits being pulled prior to construction beginning and asked that the Commission review the property and building project prior to the project beginning because of the issues with pazking, poor exterior of the building, and that no plans have been submitted for landscaping. PAGE 7 -PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES -MARCH 20, 2007 Planning Manager Weiner stated yes, in the design review the landscaping would have been addressed, but it is now being addressed through the CUP. He said that it is favorable if permits are pulled prior to the project beginning and that the Commission should review projects prior to them starting. Chairman O'Neal asked the applicant if he could enhance the design on the exterior of the building. The applicant is planning on putting art work on the exterior of the building to enhance the look of the building. Vice Chair Gonzales suggested to the applicant that the Sports Bar be opened at the same time as the Bowling Alley and also stated that the design of the restaurant is marvelous and asked what kind of food would be served there. The applicant stated that it would be a mixed buffet of Mexican, Italian, and American and used mainly for banquets. The Commission asked that the applicant post signs at the banquet rooms stating that under aged individuals be prohibited from drinking alcohol. Deputy City Attorney Santana added Condition No. 48 to the Conditions of Approval regarding signage in banquet rooms prohibiting alcohol to under aged individuals. MOVED BY ZANELLI, SECONDED BY FLORES, AND PASSED BY A VOTE OF 5-0 TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NO. 2007-55, A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2007-O1 WITH CHANGES. 5.

Associate Planner Carlson stated to Ms. Harrell, that as part of the MSHCP Findings, an assessment was done by Wendy Worthey, Environmental Consultant, and she found no evidence of burrowing owls at this particular project. Therefore, it was considered exempt. Chainnan O'Neal closed the Public Hearing at 7:15 pm. PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS Vice Chair Gonzales said that he liked the project but has concerns that owls could still be present and suggested a continuance to the next meeting to have Environmental Consultant Worthey take another look to see if there were any owls present.

Commissioner Zanelli had no comments. Commissioner Flores had no comments. Commissioner Mendoza said the project looked great but his concern was not enough parking spots for patients. Mr. Fagan addressed Commissioner Mendoza's concern by stating that he did discuss the pazking availability with the Doctors, and they were satisfied with the number of parking spots available.
