Project Location The project site is located within an existing 4.87-acre retail commercial center, which includes a single-story multi-tenant building that has a variety of retail, restaurant, and personal service businesses including Vincenzo’s Olive Tree, Ahi Sushi Bar & Grill, and Fancy Nail & Spa. The site is near the intersection of Diamond Drive and Casino Drive at 31712 Casino Drive (APN: 363- 171-008) and currently zoned Neighborhood Commercial (C-1) within the Lake Elsinore Hills District.

The church currently operates within multiple tenant spaces including Units 5B, 6A through 6C, and 7B through 7C. The proposed request would expand the church’s operation into Units 8A and 8B to increase the main sanctuary area with 264 seats as well as remove Unit 7B from the current church operations since the church is proposing to vacate that unit. With the proposed expansion, the church intends to operate as follows: Unit 5B: Spanish Mass – Sunday and Wednesday from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Units 6A through 6C: Youth Church – Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Unit 7B: Proposed to be vacated and removed under new CUP Unit 7C: Administrative Offices – Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m.to 5:00 p.m. Units 8A and 8B: Main Sanctuary (English Mass) – Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and Tuesday from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Units 8A and 8B would also include new classrooms and offices to support the church’s operations. The square footage of the expanded units is approximately 7,600 square feet. The church is proposing this expansion and modification to their current operations in order to accommodate their growing congregation, which has increased from 200 to 300 members. Analysis The following analysis provides a discussion of the proposed project’s consistency with the commercial development standards and requirements pursuant to the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC) as well as the General Plan. In addition, the Design Review Committee, including Staff from Planning, Building and Safety, Fire, and Engineering Departments and the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District, has reviewed the project and has included recommended conditions of approval to ensure compliance with adopted plans, policies, and regulations. General Plan and Municipal Code Consistency The project site has a General Plan land use designation of General Commercial (GC). The GC designation provides for retail, services, and restaurants, professional and administrative offices, (PA 2018-59, Ministerio Puerta Del Cielo/Amazing Church) Page 3 of 4 1 9 6 6 hotels and motels, mixed-use projects, public and quasi-public uses, and similar and compatible uses. The proposed religious assembly use is compatible with the GC designation because it provides a service that would serve residents and the community in the surrounding areas. The current zoning designation for the subject property is Neighborhood Commercial (C-1). According to Section 17.120.030.C. of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC), places of religious assembly or institution require a CUP in the C-1 zoning district. The project has an approved CUP which was approved by the Planning Commission on February 7, 2023. However, according to Section 17.415.070.F of the LEMC, applications for any change in an approved CUP are reviewed in a similar manner as a new application. The proposed CUP amendment is to allow the church to expand their current operations. The request involves interior tenant improvements only and would not create new square footage or other exterior site improvements. Upon review and approval of this CUP amendment by the Planning Commission, the project would continue to be consistent with the C-1 zoning regulations including parking as further analyzed in the section below. Parking Demand Since the church is expanding its use to increase the number of seatings in their main sanctuary, the potential increase in parking demand was analyzed. The church is located in a multi-tenant commercial building within an existing shopping center that provides shared parking spaces through a recorded agreement between property owners. The center currently has a total of 438 on-site parking spaces. Pursuant to LEMC Section 17.148.030.E.2, the parking requirement for places of worship with fixed seating is one space per three seats or one space per 21 sq. ft. of gross floor area where there is no fixed seating. As such, the English mass requires 400 parking spaces (264-fixed seating proposed) on Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and Tuesday evenings from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. while the Spanish mass requires 364 spaces (1,100 sq. ft. of assembly area with no fixed seating) on Sunday and Wednesday evenings from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. During the non-mass service days and times, the church’s anticipated parking demand would be significantly less since only the offices would be in use. The church currently holds their mass services during these days and times in order to offset their parking demand from the existing businesses’ hours of operations. The church would be operating their mass service during off-peak parking demand times from the other businesses in the center (i.e. after 5:00 p.m. or Sunday morning when most general businesses are closed or not operating at their peak parking demand times). It is also anticipated that many churchgoers typically attend mass service as a group (i.e. with family) so parking demand may be less than what is required. The classrooms would function as childcare only during mass service times but would not be utilized as a regular school since the church does not currently operate one and is not proposing to do so with this CUP modification. Furthermore, the church has been operating in the center since 2018; to date, the City has not received complaints regarding the parking during the church mass service days and times. Therefore, staff anticipates the existing parking supply would continue to be sufficient for the proposed church use and other existing businesses especially since there would be a surplus of parking during the mass services days and times described above. If the use results in concerns related to parking and traffic, a condition of approval has (PA 2018-59, Ministerio Puerta Del Cielo/Amazing Church) Page 4 of 4 1 9 6 6 been included to refer the CUP back to Planning Commission for a subsequent review at a public hearing. Environmental Determination The proposed project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res. Code §§21000 et seq.: “CEQA”) and the CEQA Guidelines (14 C.C.R. §§ 15000 et seq.) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Class 1: Existing Facilities) because the project is confined to a change in use of an existing commercial building and proposed construction is limited to interior alterations not resulting in expansion of building floor area. MSHCP Consistency The project is consistent with the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP). The project site is completely disturbed and is developed with an existing commercial center. The project site is not located in a Criteria Cell and was not required to be processed through the Lake Elsinore Acquisition Process (LEAP) and Joint Project Review (JPR) processes. The project complies with all other applicable requirements of the MSHCP. Public Notice Notice of the public hearing for this application has been published in the Press-Enterprise newspaper and mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property. As of the writing of this report, no written comments concerning this application have been received by staff.

The existing units part of the current church operations will be utilized for other related church services including a youth church (Units 6A, 6B, and 6C), Spanish speaking mass (Unit 5B), and church offices (Unit 7C). Unit 7B is proposed to be vacated as part of the CUP amendment request. Unit 7B will be vacated from the Conditional Use Permit; Whereas, Section 6.0 of the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) requires that all discretionary projects within a MSHCP Criteria Cell undergo the Lake Elsinore Acquisition Process (LEAP) and Joint Project Review (JPR) process to analyze the scope of the proposed development and establish a building envelope that is consistent with the MSHCP criteria; Whereas, Section 6.0 of the MSHCP further requires that the City adopt consistency findings demonstrating that the proposed discretionary entitlement complies with the MSHCP Criteria Cell, and the MSHCP goals and objectives; Whereas, pursuant to Chapter 17.415.070.F of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC) provides that an application for modification, expansion or other change in a conditional use permit shall be reviewed according to the provisions of this chapter in a similar manner as a new application; Whereas, pursuant to Chapter 17.415.070.B of the LEMC, the Planning Commission (Commission) has been delegated with the responsibility of reviewing and approving, conditionally approving, or denying Conditional Use Permits; and, Whereas, on July 15, 2025, at a duly noticed Public Hearing, the Commission has considered evidence presented by the Community Development Department and other interested parties with respect to this item. NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1: The Commission has considered the project and has found it acceptable. Section 2: That in accordance with the MSHCP, the Commission makes the following findings for MSHCP consistency: PC Reso. No. 2025-____ Page 2 of 4 3 9 1 1 6 1. The project is not subject to the City’s LEAP and the Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority’s (RCA) JPR processes as it is not located within a Criteria Cell. 2. The project site is developed with existing commercial uses. The project is proposing to remodel the interior of an existing multi-tenant commercial building. As such, the Riparian/Riverine Areas and Vernal Pool Guidelines as set forth in Section 6.1.2 of the MSHCP are not applicable. 3. The project is consistent with the Protection of Narrow Endemic Plant Species Guidelines as set forth in MSHCP Section 6.1.3 and the Additional Survey Needs and Procedures as set forth in MSHCP Section 6.3.2 because the project is not located within any Narrow Endemic Plant Species Survey Areas or Critical Species Survey Areas. 4. The project is consistent with the Fuels Management Guidelines because the project site is not within or adjacent to any MSHCP Criteria Cell or conservation areas. 5. The project is exempt from MSHCP local development mitigation fees pursuant to LEMC Section 16.85.090.B because the project involves remodeling to an existing development project and will not result in additional usable square footage. Section 3: The Commission has reviewed and analyzed the proposed project pursuant to the California Planning and Zoning Laws (Cal. Gov. Code §§ 59000 et seq.), the Lake Elsinore General Plan (GP), and the LEMC and finds and determines that the proposed project is consistent with the requirements of California Planning and Zoning Law and with the goals and policies of the GP and the LEMC. Section 4: The Commission hereby finds and determines that the project is categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Publ. Res. Code §§21000 et seq. “CEQA”) and CEQA Guidelines (14. Cal. Code Regs. §§15000 et seq.), specifically pursuant to Section 15301 (Class 1 – Existing Facilities), because the project is confined to an existing commercial building and proposed construction is limited to interior alterations not resulting in an expansion of building floor area. Section 5: That in accordance with California Planning and Zoning Law and the LEMC Section 17.168.060 (Findings), the Commission makes the following findings regarding the project: 1. That the proposed use, on its own merits and within the context of its setting, is in accord with the objectives of the General Plan and the purpose of the planning district in which the site is located. The existing church is located in the General Commercial (GC) General Plan Land use designation within the Lake Elsinore Hill District. The GC designation provides for a variety of uses including retail and community services (such as churches). The church use was previously analyzed and approved under CUP No. 2022-23. However, the proposed CUP modification is to increase the main sanctuary area to accommodate the church’s growing congregation. The expansion as well as reallocation of the church’s other services continue to be consistent with the GC designation and overall goal and vision for the Lake PC Reso. No. 2025-____ Page 3 of 4 3 9 1 1 6 Elsinore Hills District which is to create and maintain a network of balanced communities to preserve and promote a high quality of life. 2. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the general health, safety, comfort or general welfare of persons residing or working within the neighborhood of the proposed use or the City, or injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood or the City. The proposed use is existing and operates within an existing building. The church has operated at its current location since 2018 and to date, the City has not received complaints regarding its operations. Staff does not anticipate the proposed expansion would create detrimental effects to the surrounding community and existing businesses within the same commercial center. Further, the project has been conditioned as such to avoid any possible negative impacts including a condition related to parking. 3. The site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, and for all the yards, setbacks, walls or fences, landscaping, buffers and other features required by this title. The proposed use is located within an existing building of a fully developed commercial property with parking spaces, landscaping, and circulation improvements. The proposed church expansion only involves interior tenant improvements and would not have any changes to the site and building’s exterior. 4. The site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways with proper design both as to width and type of pavement to carry the type and quantity of traffic generated by the subject use. The proposed use is located within an existing built environment, inclusive of streets. The existing streets are of adequate size to facilitate safe and convenient transportation to and from the site. 5. In approving the subject use at the specific location, there will be no adverse effect on abutting properties or the permitted and normal use thereof. The project is located within an existing commercial center that surrounds other developed commercial centers. The church has been in operation since 2018 without any adverse effect on the surrounding properties. As such, it is not anticipated that the proposed church expansion would have adverse impacts on the surrounding properties and their uses. In addition, the project has been thoroughly reviewed and conditioned by all applicable City departments thereby further eliminating the potential for any adverse effects. 6. Adequate conditions and safeguards pursuant to Section 17.168.050 of the LEMC, including guarantees and evidence of compliance with conditions, have been incorporated into the approval of the subject project to ensure development of the property in accordance with the objectives of this chapter and the planning district in which the site is located. Pursuant to Section 17.168.040 of the LEMC, the project was considered by the Commission at a duly noticed Public Hearing on July 15, 2025, appropriate and applicable conditions of approval have been included to protect and promote the public PC Reso. No. 2025-____ Page 4 of 4 3 9 1 1 6 health, safety, and general welfare. Compliance with said conditions would be reviewed to during the plan check review and inspection processes. Section 6: Based upon the evidence presented, the above findings, and the Conditions of Approval imposed upon the project, the Commission hereby approves Conditional Use Permit No. 2025-04. Section 7: This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption. Passed and Adopted on this 15th day of July, 2025.
