Main Street at 6:00 p.m. Damaris Abraham Community Development Director Page 1 of 3 REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION To:Honorable Chair and Members of the Planning Commission From:Damaris Abraham, Community Development Director Prepared by:Carlos Serna, Associate Planner Date:February 17, 2026 Subject:Request to Amend The Central Tree Collective, Inc.’s Development Agreement to Revise the Community Benefit Fee Applicant:Misty Babcock, Central Tree Collective, Inc. Recommendation 1.Find that the proposed project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities); and 2.Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, APPROVE THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AMENDMENT (DA-2025-13) FOR THE CENTRAL TREE COLLECTIVE, INC., LOCATED AT 18532 PASADENA STREET (APN: 377-430-023). Project Location Pursuant to Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC) Section 17.156.040, cannabis businesses are permitted only within the M-1 (Limited Manufacturing) and M-2 (General Manufacturing) zoning districts. The subject cannabis business is located in the M-1 district at 18532 Pasadena Street, approximately 580 feet northeast of the Pasadena Street and Crane Street intersection and encompasses Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) 377-430-023. Background On November 28, 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1383 (Cannabis Ordinance) to establish land use regulations and permitting requirements for cannabis businesses in LEMC Section 17.156. The Cannabis Ordinance includes regulations such as, but not limited to, allowed types of cannabis businesses, permitted zoning districts, location requirements, and maximum number of cannabis business permits. DA 2025-13 (Central Tree Collective DA Amendment) Page 2 of 3 In order to operate a cannabis business in the City, a business must have an approved conditional use permit, City business license, and applicable State license(s). The cannabis businesses also enter into a Development Agreement (DA) with the City pursuant to LEMC Chapter 19.12 and Government Code Sections 65864 through 65869.5. The DAs provide a uniform approach to safeguard the City from certain known and unknown impacts and costs on City infrastructure, services and neighborhoods related to the establishment of cannabis related land uses. As such, the DAs include public benefits for the community in the form of payment of Community Benefit Fees (CBF). Under the current terms of the DA, the cannabis businesses are obligated to pay the CBF to the City annually and the fees are assessed based on the floor area square footage for each business at $18 per square foot with an annual four percent (4%) increase in the CBF rate. Project Description The cannabis business is requesting to amend their DA to revise the CBF and establish a separate CBF rate for retail (e.g. storefront, delivery to customers) versus non-retail (e.g. cultivation, distribution, manufacturing and testing laboratory) cannabis operations. The proposed amendment also includes revisions to the definitions and general provisions. All other terms and provisions of the previously adopted DA would remain unchanged and would still be applicable. The requested amendments are as a result of the City Council Cannabis Subcommittee’s response to the cannabis business owners’ concerns with operating a viable and successful cannabis business in the City. Discussion Since adopting the Cannabis Ordinance, other surrounding cities as well as Riverside County have allowed cannabis uses within their jurisdiction which has created a competitive market for the cannabis businesses in Lake Elsinore. Due to the growing competition, stringent land use regulations and permitting requirements, and costs associated with operating and managing a cannabis business – the businesses have expressed concerns with their ability to remain in operation. The Cannabis Subcommittee reviewed these concerns and directed staff to amend the Cannabis Ordinance and DAs to alleviate these issues while still ensuring compatible land uses and protecting the general welfare and safety of the community. More specifically, the following is a summary of the proposed DA amendment: Revised CBF for Cannabis Retail: The CBF rate for cannabis retail would be capped at $25 per square foot. Once the retail CBF rate reaches $25 per square foot, the 4% annual increase will no longer be applicable. Revised CBF for Cannabis Non-Retail: The CBF rate for cannabis non-retail would be reduced to $5 per square foot with no 4% annual increase. CBF Payments: Cannabis businesses would now have the option to pay their CBF payments in 12 (monthly) equal payments instead of a lump sum payment annually (that was due at the time of City business license renewal). DA 2025-13 (Central Tree Collective DA Amendment) Page 3 of 3 Floor Area Definition: The definition of “floor area” is proposed to be revised to mean the interior gross floor area square footage of a cannabis facility. In addition, the definition would be clarified to distinguish between cannabis retail and non-retail business floor areas. This revised definition is to create a clear delineation between the types of cannabis uses within a cannabis facility for purposes of calculating a cannabis business’ revised CBF. Floor Plan Exhibit(s): An updated floor plan exhibit of the cannabis facility would be included to provide a clear delineation between the retail and non-retail floor areas. Any future changes to the cannabis facility’s floor plan layout would require an amendment to the previously approved CUP subject to the Planning Commission’s review at a separate public hearing. Any CUP amendment that would revise the DA floor plan exhibit would be formalized through an Operating Memoranda pursuant to the terms of the cannabis business’ DA. 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 Section 15301 (Class 1, Existing Facilities). Class 1 consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination. The proposed project is an existing cannabis business that is operating in a fully developed site and buildings. The proposed amendment to the business’ development agreement would not result in new construction, additional square footage, or expansion of the existing uses. Public Notice Notice of the public hearing has been published in the Press-Enterprise newspaper and mailed to property owners within 500 feet of the subject properties. As of the writing of this report, no written comments concerning these applications have been received by staff.
