To: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
From: Justin Kirk, AICP, Assistant Community Development Director
Date: July 20, 2021
Subject: Use Determination - A use determination request by Inland Boat Center regarding
the retail sales and service of boats with accessory use of outdoor display within
the existing Lake Elsinore Outlet Center.
Applicant: James Dakan, Inland Boat Center
Recommendation
Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVING A LAND USE
DETERMINATION ESTABLISHING RECREATIONAL VEHICLE SALES AND SERVICE,
INCLUDING OUTDOOR DISPLAY AS A PERMITTED USE SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF
A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT WITHIN THE LAKE ELSINORE OUTLET CENTER SPECIFIC
PLAN.
Discussion
Background
The applicant has requested a land use determination by the Planning Commission to allow for
the retail sales and service of boats with the accessory use of outdoor boat display within the
existing Lake Elsinore Outlet Center. The Lake Elsinore Outlet Specific Plan (LEOSP) does not
identify this land use as either a permitted or conditionally permitted use. In accordance with the
LEOSP, all uses that are not identified as permitted or conditionally permitted are considered
prohibited.
However, the LEOSP specifies that other uses, either permitted or conditionally permitted, may
be allowed subject to the Planning Commission finding that the use is consistent with the purpose
and intent of the Community Commercial Category for permitted uses within the Specific Plan.
Analysis
The City of Lake Elsinore’s Municipal Code (LEMC) identifies recreational vehicle sales and
services as a permitted use within the Commercial Manufacturing (CM) and General Commercial
(C2) zones, subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The City’s zoning code (Title 17
of the LEMC) defines recreational vehicles to include boats. In addition, several land uses within
the LEOSP were identified as being consistent with the request, specifically including retail sales,
personal services, service stations and light industrial uses. These uses were identified as they
share similar operational characteristics including sales and service as well as similar frequency
of customers.

Because the proposed use is generally consistent with other uses identified in the LEOSP, it is
recommended the Planning Commission adopt a resolution establishing recreational vehicle
sales and service, including outdoor display and storage as a permitted use, subject to the
approval of a Conditional Use Permit. It is recommended that the use be subject to a Conditional
Use Permit to ensure the operational characteristics do not present detrimental impacts to existing
and future uses.
