He stated that the applicant at that time proposed a variety of uses such as residential, commercial, a park, and recreational facilities, the existing stadium and a golf course. Senior Planner Morita indicated that in 1998, the Gty approved SPA No.1, which amended land uses specifically within the Phase I area of the ELSP. He stated that 1Me Communities were the applicants and proposed to reduce the intensity of the residential and commercial development & increase the acreage of open space areas. He indicated that in 1999, the Gty approved SPANo. 2, which allowed residential subdivisions to be constructed in accordance with Traditional Neighborhood Design concepts, which included alleyways, narrower streets & more pedestrian walkways. Senior Planner Morita stated that Laing Homes, are now proposing to amend the ELSP, to allow for single & multi-family residential uses, a golf course, a community park with soccer & baseball fields, an elementary school, and open space areas. He stated that SPA No. 2 introduced a Traditional Neighborhood Design concept, which allowed for narrow streets and encouraged more pedestrians. He stated that because of this particular design concept, the General Plan in 1999 was amended to allow an offset segment along Diamond Drive. Senior Planner Morita stated that the proposed TIM 31920 would create 1,847 residential lots, which range in size from about 3,700 to 11,500 square feet with an average lot size of 5,318 square feet.

Senior Planner Morita stated that the fifth and final application is the Supplemental EIR that has been prepared to provide the necessary environmental clearance for the applications. He stated that the SPANo. 6 would construct land uses that are beneficial to the overall community, such as the public golf course, elementary school, large community park, and other open space areas. He indicated that the smaller residential lots that are being proposed are not viewed negatively since the Gty has recently approved other similar lot sizes in the Canyon Hills & Lakeshore Village areas. Senior Planner Morita stated that regarding the proposed General Plan Amendment, Staff believes that the realignment of Diamond Drive would eliminate the offset segment along Malaga and is beneficial because it would improve traffic flow & reduce traffic hazards. Senior Planner Morita stated that Staff is also supportive of the proposed Tentative Tract Map. He indicated that the TIM is consistent with the land use plan, objectives and development standards contained in the SPANo. 6 document and other Planning and Engineering requirements.

He noted that the applicant is present to answer any questions that the Commission may have. With no further comments from Staff, Chairman LaPere requested the applicant to approach the podium. Robert Gregory, 3996 Pacific Coast Hwy, Ventura, CA indicated that with regards to Condition No.7, the dealership does not page overhead unless it is necessary. Commissioner Uhlry expressed to the applicant that he realizes that the dealership does not use the P A system; however, he would like to see some clarification in the Condition that would address what the word "emergency" would entail. Chairman LaPere asked the applicant if he agrees to all of the Conditions of Approval to include the modifications. Mr. Gregory stated that he is confused with the Condition that addresses the traffic signal. He also indicated that he would like some clarification on Condition No. 49, which discusses the power poles. Engineering Manager Seumalo stated that if the power line is less than 12 kv and was carried on a power pole that was higher that 12 kv running on it, would be required to be placed underground. Mr. Gregory indicated that Mr. Watenpaugh said that this or procedure that could be handled between Edison and the Gty. He indicated that it has never been an obligation of his, since he started this project. He stated that he is objecting to Condition No. 49. He expressed that there is a power pole at Franklin and Auto Center Drive that would need to be relocated in order for him to straighten out the street. PAGE 9 - PLANNING CD:MMlSSIONMINUIES - MAY 04, 2004 Vice Chairwoman Matthies asked if the applicant would need to straighten out the street, and have the power pole moved for the power company. She asked why the power company is not responsible for this. Engineer Manager Seumalo stated that if the street was constructed prior to the power pole, the Gty would have prior rights, and yes, normally the power company would be responsible. However, he stated that the power company may view this as a project driven need, and therefore would require the applicant to move the power pole. Chairman LaPere suggested that Staff and the applicant discuss this issue, after the meeting.. Director of Community Development Brady stated that the project still needs to go before the Gty Council, and Staff and the applicant could handle this before then. There being no further comments from the applicant or public, discussion was brought back to the Commission for comments. Commissioner Uhlry asked Staff why the wait to put the signal in, when traffic is already getting difficult in that area. Mr. Gregory stated that he is not objecting to have the traffic signal installed. Engineering Manager Seumalo stated that the traffic analysis indicates that a traffic signal is warranted in that area. Director of Community Development Brady indicated that he realizes that the applicant is willing to have the signal put in when it is warranted. Deputy Gty Attorney Miles expressed that the record that is before the Planning Commission indicates that the signal warrant is satisfied, and the Mitigation Measures would need to go into effect in a reasonable and timely matter. He stated that the Gty could not allow a Condition that is going to result in a traffic signal at a later date or some unknown amount of time, based on the existing evidence in the record. Vice Chairwoman Matthies expressed that she appreciates the idea of the emergency only over the P A system. She indicated that she also likes the idea of having more employee parking available. She asked clarification of the pylon sign. Mr. Gregory indicated that the sign is just like the existing sign at Lake Chevrolet, only it would be five feet taller. Vice Chairwoman Matthies had no further comments. Commissioner ONeal stated that this is a good project and had no further comments. PAGE 10 - PLANNING CDMMISSIONMINUfES - MAY 04,2004 Chainnan LaPere requested clarification about the street parking. He wanted to emphasize that the area is already congested, and wanted to make sure that plenty of parking would be available. Mr. Gregory indicated that he is not pleased with the current parking situation. He stated that he is currendy designing parking for the employees, so they would not have to park on the street. He stated that this would be for the new and old dealerships. Chainnan LaPere suggested Staff to work with the applicant regarding this issue. He stated that he is glad to see the new dealership coming to town. He also indicated that he is pleased to hear that the traffic study warrants the traffic signal now, as he was concerned with that as well. There being no further comments from the CDmmission, Chainnan LaPere closed the Public Hearing at 7:34 PM and requested the reading of the Resolutions.

Depait shall ~ mule prior to issUtlrKI! ifbuildirrg,pemit". She stated that Condition No. 37 could be deleted entirely, as it does not apply. She noted that these homes are in the County Oub Heights area, and nonnally Staff requires the in-lieu fee instead of the improvements, such as curbs and gutters. Vice Chairwoman Matthies asked Staff if the homes on the sides of this project had curbs and gutters. Community Development Technician Hennings indicated "no". Commissioner Uhlry stated that he drove up to the area today, and stated that the homes next to the project do have curbs and gutters. Engineering Manager Seumalo stated that the pwpose of this change is due to the current study that is being conducted in the County Oub Heights area. He stated that the Street Standards in that area would be different from the Standards of today. In essence, he stated, the changes are why Staff is supporting the cash in-lieu fees. Commissioner Uhlry stated that he wants to see consistency. He stated that the homes next to this project already have curbs and gutters. Engineering Manager Seumalo stated that Staff is waiting for the Standards that the Gty is going to adopt in that area. He indicated that Staff is concerned with the difference in roadway width. He stated that if the roadway width is changed in that area, the curb and gutter that had been installed, would need to be removed in order to the newly adopted street width. PAGE 14 - PLANNING CDMMISSIONMINUfES - MAY 04, 2004 Vice Chairwoman Matthies asked Staff if the Gty would need to pay for that. Engineering Manager Seumalo stated "yes". Vice Chairwoman Matthies asked if the Gty had a target date as to when this would be completed. Engineering Manager Seumalo did not have a timeframe. He did state that it appears to be an important issue for the Gty, and said that he anticipates it to be moving forward rather quickly. Director of Community Development Brady stated that it is up to the Commission to make that decision as to whether they would like the applicant to provide curbs and gutters or an in-lieu fee. Chainnan LaPere requested the. applicant to approach the podium. Ann Ward, 10739 Oanks Road, Ollver Gty, CA stated that she has constructed four other homes and all have been considered top quality. She indicated that she does not have any complaints at this time. She stated that as far as the curbs and gutters, she would do what ever it takes to get this project going. Chainnan LaPere asked her if she has any questions regarding the Conditions of Approval. Ms. Ward stated that she agrees to the Conditions of Approval. Vice Chairwoman Matthies concurred with Conditions No. 36 and 37. She asked if a timeframe could be added. Community Development Director Brady suggested that since the curbs and gutters one already existing on both sides of the project, it probably would be best to match it. Vice Chairwoman Matthies, asked Mr. Ward if she would agree to curbs and gutters installed. Ms. Ward agreed. Vice Chairwoman Matthies had no further comments. Commissioner O'Neal stated that he is very concerned with the appearance of the homes. He indicated that the outside of the homes needs more treatment and character. Gloria Cordova, 29350 Gunnerson Avenue stated that she lives in the Country dub Heights area, and attended that last Study Session regarding this area. She thought that she understood that in order to construct a home in the Country dub Heights area, you had to have at least a half of an acre. She also indicated that she is disappointed on the type of PAGE 15 - PLANNING CX:JMMISSION :MINUTES - MAY 04,2004 homes that are being placed in the area. She asked Staff if the materials used with these homes are considered hazardous. Willeta Graves, 16748 Gwmerson Avenue, Lake Elsinore expressed her concerns with the potential flooding in the area. She also spoke of the problems with land dedications to the Gty, and the developer not having enough land to work with. She indicated that she does not want Country Oub Heights to look like another eucalyptus grove. Commissioner ONeal wanted to clarify that he is not against manufactured or modular homes. He stated that he would like to see one of these homes modified with a better design. Vice Chairwoman Matthies stated that she realizes it is difficult to add the extra enhancements. She suggested on extra landscaping such as more trees to help breakup the long narrow wall. Commissioner Uhhy concurs with Vice Chairwoman Matthies ideas of the extra landscaping. He indicated that something needed to be added to architecturally enhance that wall. He clarified the issue that was brought up earlier about the necessity of having a ~-acre lot in order to build in the Country Oub Height area. He stated that this was a suggestion, and not per the Code, and furthermore it was pertaining to the Skyline Drive area, due to the steepness of the terrain, and not the entire Country Oub Heights area. Chairman LaPere stated that in conclusion, there are many manufactured homes within the Country Oub Heights area. He indicated that some of these homes are beautiful, and could not tell the difference from a stick- built home. He recommended that this be Continued to the June 1,2004 meeting, as the project needs more work There being no further comments, Chairman LaPere requested for Motion for Continuance.

She stated that this project is located within a G 2 Zoning District. She noted that because the California Penal Code Section 653 states that it is unlawful to tattoo anyone under the age of eighteen, it was detennined that the operational characteristics of tattoo studios are similar to those uses that are only allowed by a CUP such as bars, cocktail lounges, and adult entertainment businesses.

She stated that Staff has surveyed the businesses in the same shopping center and did not find any sensitive receptors.

He stated that the applicant is aware. He stated that issues such as insurance, and hold harmless agreement are often required to cover to Gty against lawsuits that may arise.

He stated that the $5,000 is merely a deposit. He stated that if there is any money left over, the money would be refunded to the applicant. He asked Vice Chainnan O'Neal if he would like to see that these types of CUP be handled as a permitted use. Vice Chainnan O'Neal stated, "That is correct". Community Development Director Brady stated that Staff can conduct a Study Session for this type of business. There being no further comments from the Commission, Chainnan LaPere closed the Public Hearing at 7:17 PM, and requested the reading of the Resolution.
