WHEREAS, Glen Daigle, Oak Grove Equities, has initiated proceedings for
Commercial Design Review No. 2005-10 for the construction of a 2,960 square
foot convenience store and associated gasoline dispensing establishment and
related improvements located at Associated Parcel Number 377-120-007; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Lake Elsinore at a
regular meeting held on June 20, 2006, opposed the proposed project by adopting
Planning Commission Resolurion No. 2006-61 recommending that the City
Council deny Commercial Design Review No. 2005-10; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered evidence presented by the
Community Development Department and other interested parties.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CTTY COUNCIL OF THE CTTY OF
LAKE ELSINORE DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND
ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council has considered the proposed Commercial
Design Review prior to making a decision to deny the proposed project. The City
Council finds and determines that the denial of the proposed development of a
convenience store and associated gas dispensing establishment is not a project.
Therefore, no environmental review is necessary pursuant to Title 14 of the
California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines).
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 denial of Commercial Design Review No. 2005-10:
1. The project, if approved, will not comply with the goals and objectives of
the General Plan and the Zoning District in which the project is located.
The proposed Commercial Design Review for a convenience store and
associated gas station located within Assessor Parcel Number 377-120-007
does not comply with the goals and objectives of the General Plan in that the

site design and building architecture proposed for the facility do not comply
with the City Wide Design Guidelines as specified in Sectaons Ib.l and 1.b.2
of the Community Design Element. The proposed design does not provide
the adequate amount of building articulation, building materials or onsite
landscaping necessary to sufficiently enhance the aesthetics of the site.
2. The project does not comply with the design directives contained in Section
17.82.060 and all other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code.
The proposed Commercial Design Review for a convenience store and
associated gas station located at Assessor Parcel Number 377-120-007 does
not comply with Design Directive sections 17.82.060.A&B given that the
facility, as designed, does not sufficiently create interest at this major
commercial intersection for persons moving along the street. Moreover, the
proposed design concept does not create a visually pleasing, non-detractive
relationship between the proposed and existing projects in the area given
that the project lacks significant building articulation and architectural
interest and a sufficient amount of onsite landscaping to frame and soften
proposed structures.
3. The denial of Commercial Design Review does not constitute a project
under CEQA.
The proposed Commercial Design Review for a convenience store and
associated gas station, located at Assessor Parcel Number 377-120-007 is
being recommended for denial and therefore, does not constitute a project
as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act. Should the
Planning Commission and City Council choose to support the project, an
environmental determination and necessary environmental analysis must be
undertaken prior to reconsideration.
4. Conditions and safeguards pursuant to Chapter 17.82.070 of the Zoning
Code have been incorporated into the denial of the subject project.
Pursuant to Section 17.82.070 (Action of the Planning Commission) of the
Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC), the proposed Commercial Design
Review located at Assessor Parcel Number 377-120-007 has been
considered by the Planning Commission and recommended for denial by the
City Council. Should the Planning Commission and City Council choose to
support the project, appropriate conditions would have to be prepared and
incorporated into the project approval.
