Planning Commission Meoting Minutes April 7, 2015
Planner Resendiz presented his staff report before Planning Commission. Resendiz stated
that this existing project is a revised site plan with a new location of the driveway. He
explained that action had not yet been taken on these plans because the Preliminary Water
Quality Management Plan had to be revised based on the requirements applied by Caltrans to
relocate the driveway 150 Ft. away from Riverside Dr.
Planner Resendiz stated that the following Conditions should be added to project:
Condition No. 26 - which is related to the Municipal Code's regulations regarding the sales of
beer and wine.
Condition No. 27 - Restricting the hours of operation of the caMash from 8am to 1opm.
condition No. 99 - To add reference to the length ofthe project frontage on Riverside Drive to
clarify the project's fair share contributions to the construction of the median.
Commissioner Ray had questions regarding the overhead lights and design on lights. He
requested plans for light fixtures to be lowered to 12 ft, because at 17ft the residents on the
other side with have a constant light shinning in the back of their house. He also asked lf the
plans submitted were the plans to be built upon.
Alex Cuevas the Architect explained to Commissioner Ray that the specifics on the light had
not been deiermined. Cuevas said design of the light are LED down lighting, so it will not
reflect up or to the side. He agreed that lowering light would not be a problem. He clarified
process to Commissioner Ray about the process of submitting plans. He stated once plans
are approved, construction documents will be provided and they will explain, in detail where
all items are on the site.
Planning Manager MacHott suggested a new Condition 8a to be added to this project to read:
"Exterior down lighting fixtures on the wall facing adjacent residences shall be no higher than
12 feet above ground level."
Commissioner Fleming commented that the sign is taller then it should be, based on that
area. Cuevas made suggestions on what can be done to reduce the height ofthe sign. After
discusslng the appropriate height for the pylon sign, the Planning Commission agreed with
suggestions regarding height and amended Condition of Approval No. 18 to add ,'The
maximum height of the freestanding pylon sign at the corner of Riverside Drive and Joy Street
shall be 25 feet."
Sara Longwell with Circle K addressed Planning Commission's concerns and agreed on a
height for sign with Planning Commission. She also wanted to clariry that beer and wine sales
start at 6am and not 8am as stated in staff report. Staff agreed to change the time set forth in
Condition No. 27.
The Planning Commission also noted that Condltion of Approval No. 133 had an incorrect
cross-reference, and amended the condition to correct the trafiic signals conditaon
cross-reference from "Condition of Approval No. 50" to be "Condition of Approval No. 98.',

Planning Commission Meoting Minutes April 7, 2015
Planning Manager MacHott delivered his presentation to Planning Commission. MacHott
explained there were previous approved applications for this Phase but those approvals have
expired. So the applicant is here again on the second Phase ofthe lndustrial Park with the
new applications; and proposes to move foruard with new approvals on those buildings. He
added there was a Mitigated Negative Declaration approved originally for the proposed
project. The only change was that staff did request traffic studies to be prepared on this
specific project. Therefore, those traffic studies are being used as an Addendum to the
original Mitigated Negative Declaration. He established all Conditions are basically lhe same
as they were when the project was approved in the past.
Commissioner Ray was confused about where outdoor storage would be and ask for
clarification on where it would be located. MacHott illustrated on plans where outdoor storage
would be. Ray inquired if Conditions specifically state applicant cannot have outdoor storage
in close proximity to the adjacent Starbucks. MacHott explained that there are no specific
Conditions that say that. Ray proposed that we may want to add a Condition for that.
Larry Markham representing the applicant responded that applicant does not anticipate any
outdoor storage on Lot. 7, and they are happy to accept a Condition prohibiting outdoor
storage on Lot. 7.
The Commission added a new Condition No. 8a to read: "No outdoor storage shall be allowed

Planning Commission Meeting Minute3 April 7, 2015
Planning Manager MacHott provided Planning Commission with his staff report. He advised
Planning Commission that he had received a number of letters since staff report was
prepared and distributed copies to Commissioners. He explained that no responses to these
lefters are required, just that Planning Commission should consider those letters as part of the
record in taking its action on this project. MacHott also said he had received letters and
e-mails today thal have been distributed to Planning Commission. He briefed planning
Commission on a letler from Lisa Gordon, Planning Manager for the City of Menifee,
expressing her concerns regarding compatibility with the City of Menifee,s rural lots adjacent
to the project site and requesting some olher changes, such as asking for larger lots on this
project site. MacHott informed the Commission that he had met with the City of Menifee, Lisa
Gordon and lnterim Community Development Director Bob Brady, who requested for having
notice to the surrounding property owners of this poect of potential impacts related to being
next to a rural life style with animal keeping. A Condition requiring notification to all property
owners within this project receive that notice had been added in response to this request.
MacHott added, additionally that the City was asked to place single-story residences adjacent
to the City of Menifee boundary because the City had expressed some concern about having
people in two-story houses looking down on the adjacent properties. He said they mentioned
that concern to Pardee and Pardee offered to place single stories in this area. He explained
that there has been a Condition added to the project requiring single-story homes along this
boundary.
Vice Chair Jordan commented on how she liked that the Developer pushed the houses as far
away from the other residents. She expressed that she would like that to be done again, as it
keeps them from the boundary line. She suggested that we add a Condition. MacHott
addressed her suggestion and stated that he can modify Condition ofApproval No. 1B which
requires single stories along the project's eastern boundary indicating that the units will be
pushed as far away from side properties as possible.
He completed with saying he also added copies of e-mail he received just before coming to
the meeting from Rick Croy, a member of Menifee's Parks, Recreation and Trails
Commission. MacHott explained that the e-mail expressed Croy's concerns about connectivity
of the trail system as it extends from the City of Menifee into Lake Elsinore. MacHott sald the
next e-mail from Matt Liesemeyer, a Council member of the City of Menifee. Liesemeyer
expressed his concems reiterating staffs recommendations for buffering on the project site.
Vice Chair Jordan wanted to confirm that this product had previously been approved and is
just a extension of the project right next to it. MacHott replied, that is correct. Jordan asked if
the model complex from the previous project going to be used. MacHott explained that there
were no model home complex exhibits shown on any exhibits in this package but he expects
that they are planning to use existing models.
Applicant Mike Taylor with Pardee Homes gave a brief description on project. He declared
that they acquired property a few years ago and have been working with Community and
Land Owners for a number of years. He noticed Planning Commission's concerns and
questions regarding pro.iect.

Planning Commission Meeting Minutes April 7,2015
Residenl Consuelo Solis spoke of her concems on drainage, access road, who would obtain
weeds on the property line and who's responsibility would it be to maintain the block wall
around project if there were graffiti in the future.
Land Development Manager Robert Skands for Pardee Homes acknowledged Ms. Solis,
concerns. Skands stated that during the process of construction, although a drainage coarse
maybe hasn't been defined, that they will be building a linear type basin and he explained how
basin works. He explained that there will be a HOA so they will be responsible for anything
that occurs on the wall. He added that he is always at the trailer on site and encouraged Mrs.
Solis and other residents attending tonight's meeling to come and speak to him regarding any
concems they have regarding this project.
Resident Greg Menzel additionally communicated his concerns about rural life being taken
away.
Resident Kathleen Evans also spoke on her doubts about development, She shared her
distress with setbacks and noise from project. she questioned if the drainage basin would be
adequate enough. Evans stated that previously wildlife was once on the property where the
project is, such as birds, snakes, and rabbits. She said they are no longer there. She ended
with a plea to Planning Commission not to make their final decision tonight and consider the
people that live near the development and quality of their life, and not just the future residents
moving in.
Joe Chavez, a resident near lhe project, stated he was troubled with how narrow lots are
against his property. He questioned noise levels and grading of property. Chavez implied his
reason for attending tonight was to learn more about this development but declared that, it
doesn't sound like developer is really ready yet.
Vice Chair Jordan responded to Chavez's doubt and advised him and the rest ofthe
Community around this project, to go and discuss these mafiers with pardee. And requested
that someone from Pardee to notice some of these interests.
Robert Skands responded to some of these concerns and explained lhat he would be happy
to go through plans and how project will be laid out. He reassured the community that he will
be available for anyone regarding these matters. He said he would hand out business cards
after meeting.
Resident rom Fuhrman had reservations about the circulation Element and roads on and
near project. He wondered how this would affect his property. Fuhrman mentioned that he
would like to see cul-de-sac's smaller and had suggestions on what he would like to see in the
plans and would like to see bigger lots next to the boundary of Menifee. He also expressed
interest in storm drainage.

Taylor addressed some of Fuhrman's comments. He provided some history on roads and
provided past Information on roads and traffic study. He explained what was required and
communicated that Pardee went over what was required them.
Commissioner Fleming started by saying he had meet with Pardee Homes personnel and a
number of concerned property owners. He explained that the main concerns of residents he
did speak with, were possibly going from a 6-foot wall to a 8-foot wall. Fleming said residents
were glad to see the property developed, as far as he was concerned. He conveyed that
residents would like to see the project with single-story homes, along that wall. He suggested
that there be a SJoot wall instead of a 6-foot wall, for a sight banier.
Planning Manager MacHott amended the Conditions to language to Condition of Approval No.
