DESIGN APPLICATIONS
1. Freestanding Pole Sign Change of Face - 316 North Main (Elsinore Hot Springs Health
Resort) - Han Lee
Associate Planner De Gange explained the request is to re-review an application to
change the wording on the panels of an existing freestanding pole sign at 316 North Main
Street. He provided a brief background and explained an application was denied at a
Special DRC meeting on December 18, 1996, based on noncompliance with previous
conditions and the applicant was instructed to comply with the previous conditions and
then submit a new application. He further explained the Historic Elsinore Architectural
Design Standards and Zoning Ordinance requirements pertaining to legal nonconforming
signs. He explained the change of face entails a change in the name of the business and
a change in lettering to meet the Design Standards, and staff recommends the DRC
consider the applicant's request.
Chairman Sands noted for the record that the applicant was not present, and asked for
discussion.
Committee Member Barnes stated there has been damage from the winds; however,
earlier comments that the sign needs to be brought into conformance still stand. The
mass type sign is not in keeping with the Downtown area and it should be replaced with
a monument entry type sign.
Committee Member Wilsey commented on the economic conditions in the community and
believes it would be a hardship for the applicant to bring the sign into conformance with
the new standards. He stated this type of signage was indicative of the community and
represents what we are trying to revitalize to, and for these reasons should rehabilitate the
SIgn.
Committee Member Schiffner stated he understands the desirability of placing this in
conformance, but to require this would mean nothing is done and the sign would stay in
an unrepaired condition and be an eyesore. If there is one side of the sign missing
because of damage then that is sufficient reason to allow the change, irrespective of the
PAGE TWO - DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE MINUTES - FEBRUARY 19, 1997
electrical. Asked staff if the sign was damaged or taken down in preparation of changing
the name. Associate Planner De Gange stated he did not have a direct answer and could
only speculate that the panel was taken down to repair the electrical. Committee Member
Schiffner stated since we are going to use deterioration of electrical for sufficient reason
to allow replacement of the sign that the permit approval includes reconstruction of
electrical and subsequent to this the lettering can be changed. Associate Planner De
Gange stated he believes the electrical has been repaired. Committee Member Schiffner
stated if this is what has been done or is to be done then would approve the rehabilitation
of this sign.
-
Committee Member Matthies stated concurrence with Committee Members Schiffner and
Wilsey. She then stated she believes the electrical has been repaired. She commented
on the change of color to comply with the standards.
Chairman Sands stated with the grandfather clause in effect not totally opposed to
allowing the sign face change, because businesses need all the help they can get these
days. Feels it would be a hardship for the applicant bring the sign into conformance with
the new standards. Suggested repairs to the electrical components be made prior to
approving the change of face, to eliminate fire hazard if nothing else.
MOVED BY COMMITTEE MEMBER WILSEY, SECONDED BY COMMITTEE
MEMBER MATTHIES AND CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE OF THOSE
PRESENT TO APPROVE THE CHANGE IN THE SIGN TO BRING IT INTO
WORKING ORDER, BOTH SIGN FACE AND ELECTRICAL.

in 1994. This type of operation is consistent with the C-l and c-o zoning districts and
is not prohibited by the Historic Elsinore Design Standards. Staff recommends approval

Committee Member Barnes asked if this is a medical clinic with doctors and staff. -
Associate Planner De Gange responded in the affirmative
Committee Member Wilsey commented on the disposal of medical waste (bio-hazard) and
records being kept, and suggested a condition be added to address the disposal of this
material.

is consistent with the uses allowed in the C-1 and c-o zoning districts and is not
prohibited by the Historic Elsinore Design Standards. Staff recommends approval with
the standard condition prohibiting the sale of thrift store type items and the standard
condition regarding signage.
Chairman Sands asked if they currently have signage. Associate Planner De Gange
responded in the negative.
Committee Member Wilsey asked if the jewelry to be sold was new, used or a
combination and whether there was a potential to veer toward a pawn shop type
operation, concern is pawning of jewelry. Associate Planner De Gange stated it is his
understanding that the jewelry is new and sees nothing to preclude the sale of used
jewelry, and explained that if the use were to change, in terms of becoming a pawn shop,
then it would have to come back before the DRC. Committee Member Wilsey suggested -
this be noted on the business license.

5. Signage - 161 South Main Street - Los ComDadres Meat Market - Carolina Casillas.
Marleny Merino & Angelina Bayona
Associate Planner De Gange explained the request is to install a wall sign. Originally,
this submittal came in as a signage package; however, it was determined that the sign
proposed for the roof facade was prohibited by Code, so it is not being considered at this
time, but staff continues to work with the applicant. The sign proposed will be
prefabricated vinyl lettering attached to an existing sign board on the side of the building.
The sign reads "Carniceria & Super Mercado" Los Compadres, which translates to "Meat
Market and Supermarket" and Los Compadres means "The two Buddies". Colors
proposed for the lettering is green and garnet with a white background and a black 6"
border. This sign meets the Design Standards with respect to size, lettering style and
color, and staff recommends approval.
Chairman Sands asked staff to clarify the applicant's original request. Associate Planner
De Gange explained the original request was for two signs, one on the wall facing
Prospect Street and one on the front canopy above the eave line, which is considered a
roof sign. The sign proposed on the front canopy is prohibited by Code and staff is
working with the applicant to find a solution which would meet the Code yet provide the
visibility needed. So as not to stall the applicant's ability to put signage on their building
staff decided to separate and bring the smaller sign forward, and come back with the other
sign at a future date. Chairman Sands asked if the color schemes were consistent with
standards for the Historic District. Associate Planner De Gange responded in the
affirmative. Chairman Sands then recommended that the missing roof tiles be replaced.
Committee Member Barnes commented on lighting and asked if the sign was back lit.
Associate Planner De Gange responded in the negative.
Committee Member Wilsey asked whether a site plan for the sign was submitted.
Associate Planner De Gange responded in the negative and explained the sign will be
placed in the existing sign frame attached to the building, left comer of the building
adjacent to Prospect. Committee Member Wilsey asked if a sign permit and costs would
be required for the second sign. Associate Planner De Gange responded in the
affirmative and explained the reason a sign permit is not required for the proposed sign
is the sign face is already attached to the building and the approval serves as the permit.
Committee Member Wilsey then commented on the amount of window space available
for signage and asked if this had been discussed with the applicant. Associate Planner
De Gange stated this is being discussed with the applicant.
MOVED BY WILSEY, SECONDED BY BARNES AND CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS
VOTE OF THOSE PRESENT TO APPROVE THE WALL SIGN ON THE SIDE OF
THE BUILDING FACING PROSPECT STREET FOR LOS COMPADRES AT 161

COMMITTEE COMMENTS
Committee Member Barnes
No comment.
Committee Member Wilsey
Commented on the following:
1.
Costs involved with small businesses having to go through the DRC process and
businesses relocating and reapplying for sign permits and business license, what kind of
permit fees are involved with these changes? Associate Planner De Gange explained the
policy for Planning Area 1 is not to charge fees for permits for signage, and to encourage
businesses to comply with the strict Historic Design Standards the policy has been not to
charge any permit fees unless working on modification to the building. There is a charge
for a business license; however, if relocating and the business license is current believes
the business license can be transferred without any additional charge.
-
2. Inquired about cost and process for businesses throughout the City, not within the DRC
area, with regard to sign permits and business licenses. Associate Planner De Gange
explained the process and fee rates for sign permits, building permit and business license
for areas outside Planning Area 1.
Committee Member Sands
Commented on the video store on Mission Trail and asked if a business license for a change in
ownership could be fast tracked. Also, there is a small neon sign in the window. Associate
Planner De Gange stated it depends on the type of use and explained the business license process
and stated a business license can be processed one day and an inspection requested for the next.
Committee Member Barnes inquired about the business license fee for a change in ownership.
Associate Planner De Gange explained the business license processing/inspection fees and stated
this is about $100.00 for the year, but it can be done in six month increments.

BUSINESS LICENSE APPLICATIONS
3. 114 South Main - C & V Floors - Chris & Valerie Matteson
Associate Planner De Gange explained the request is for a business license to operate
a floor and window covering business. He explained this use is more closely associated
with the C-2 Zoning District and Planning Area 1 is within the C-l and C-O Districts.
Therefore, the item has been brought before the DRC for consideration. Staff
recommends the DRC consider this proposal and determine if this use is compatible
and consistent with the uses existing and anticipated in Planning Area 1 of the Historic
Overlay District.
-
Committee Member Barnes commented on the sales and installation components of the
business.
Committee Member Wilsey asked about storage. Mr. Matteson stated they have
operated at Central Avenue for approximately two years and there is no storage facility
within this compleL Primarily, we run a decorator service through the show room, and
utilize an off-site warehouse with trash disposal available. Mr. Matteson stated he will
continue to use the off-site warehouse facility so there will not be an excessive amount
of truck traffic and will dispose of trash at the warehouse facility.

2. Temporarv Banner - 183 North Main Street (Lake Elsinore Cultural Center) - The
Lamb's Fellowship (Gary Enniss)
Associate Planner De Gange explained that Lamb's Fellowship Church is leasing the
Cultural Center and asking that they be allowed to display a banner outside the
building on a weekly basis during church operations (Sunday only). This issue comes
before the DRC because the Design Standards provide for banners; however, the
provisions do not meet their needs as the standards stipulate that banners are allowed
only four times a year for a duration of30 days. Staff would point out that the location
for the banner is of concern, and recommends consideration of the request.
-
Committee Member Matthies commented on the location for display of the banner, and
whether a freestanding post with a base could be utilized.
Committee Member Schiffner asked if the banner would be displayed parallel to the
building. Associate Planner De Gange stated this would be best.
PAGE THREE - DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE MINUTES - MARCH 26, 1997
Committee Member Barnes asked if the banner could be draped from the mansard.
Community Development Director Leslie stated this is a possibility, but not sure
Community Services would want to encourage tenants to be on the roof.
Committee Member Wilsey stated he does not like banners, particularly on a weekly
basis and inquired about a more permanent sign and whether there was room for
storage. He suggested a sign similar to the one at the museum. Committee Member
Barnes suggested a permanent changeable marquee that can be shared, and the cost
for the sign shared between the applicant and City.
Discussion ensued on signage with regard to the type of sign and the materials that
could be used, and that staff work with the applicant on a more permanent type sign.
Committee Member Schiffner suggested the Design Review Committee take action on
the project and let the applicant and staff work out the details for a more permanent
sign.

District. The Zoning Ordinance states that churches within C-1 are allowed subject to a
conditional use permit, Section 17.44.030.C. Upon review and approval by the Design
Review Committee the applicant will be required to apply for a conditional use permit. He
stated the issues related to parking and compatibility with surrounding uses will be reviewed
during the conditional use permit process, and staff recommends approval.
Committee Member Schiffuer asked for clarification on the action to be taken. Associate
Planner Villa explained the Historic Elsinore Overlay District requires the DRC to determine _
whether the use would be allowed in Planning Area 1, and approve the business license.
Committee Member Schiffner stated he believes the use would be proper for the area.
Committee Member Matthies stated concurrence with Committee Member Schiffner, and then
inquired about signage. Mr. Saenz stated that signage has been submitted and asked whether
the DRC can take action on said signage. Associate Planner Villa stated the signage can be

4. 133 North Main Street - Collector's Corral - Donna Lucas/Wanda Moore
Associate Planner Villa explained the request is for a business license to operate an
antique, collectible, gifts, and consignment clothing store at 133 North Main Street.
This use is consistent with the uses allowed in the C-l and C-O zoning districts and
is not prohibited by the Historic Elsinore Design Standards. Staff recommends
approval of the business license with consideration on the consignment clothing sale.
-
Ms. Lucas defined consignment clothing and stated "gently used clothing" is a better
definition. Ms. Lucas showed examples of the consignment merchandise and stated
that everything is clean and fresh, and will make it look like a boutique. Ms. Lucas
then stated that with permission from the City they would like to do this and it could
be reviewed in six-months or a year and if not satisfied they would disable that
portion of the business.
Committee Member Wilsey expressed concern with this use and stated this type of
use or uses similar have been discouraged in the downtown area. Concerned with
setting a precedence for used clothing stores in the downtown area. Asked how to
difl'erentiate between up scale used clothing and regular used clothing.
Committee Member Schiffner stated he has the same concerns as Committee
Member WIlsey. Although, the proposal may be a fine operation, the Committee
would have to set criteria that we do not have.
Ms. Moore, 3494 Bluff Street, Norco, stated the store would be set up in the same
manner as a department store and that everything would be clean and fresh. Ms.
Moore then explained the type of merchandise intended for sale.
-
Chairman Sands asked if a condition could not be added to alleviate concerns.
Committee Member Wilsey asked if there were not criteria in the Design Standards
that prohibited this type of use. Community Development Director Leslie responded
in the negative and explained the Standards simply state thrift stores are not a
permitted use downtown, and provided an explanation of thrift store merchandise.
Community Development Director Leslie stated the standard condition placed on all
antique stores stipulates that no used clothing is permitted to be sold. Community
Development Director Leslie suggested it be called boutique resale designer label
clothing and that it has to be displayed in a retail clothing outlet manner, not a
manner common to a thrift store, and it has to be done in conjunction with an
antique and collectible store.
Discussion ensued on the consignment clothing aspect and each item having a dry_
cleaning tag, having a minimum price, and pursuing the boutique line.
Community Development Director Leslie suggested the following condition: The sale
of consignment clothing as proposed must be of a quality that is considered boutique
designer label style and no items less than five dollars. All items to be cleaned and
fresh and displayed in a retail boutique atmosphere and not in a thrift store
atmosphere and must be done in conjunction with the sale of period collectible type
clothing and antique and collectible items in general. The use will be subject to
review in six-months time and if found to not be operated in the manner that was
the intent of the Design Review Committee all used clothing other than period style
clothing will have to be removed and returned to the consignor within three-months
time.

DESIGN APPLICATIONS
It was the consensus of the DRC to consider the Business License and Signage for Living Waters
Bible Center at 137 North Main Street concurrently.
Business License and Signage - 137 North Main Street - Living Waters Bible Center - Pastor
Bert Hakansson
Associate Planner Villa explained the request is for a business license to operate a non-
denomination school for ministers, and for the placement of an auto-oriented facade sign at 137
North Main Street. He explained that the site is within Planning Area 1 of the Historic Elsinore
Overlay District which allows uses found as permitted in the C-l or C-O Districts; however, the
proposed school is not specifically listed as permitted within the C-l or C-O District. However,
based on the submitted letter its (the school) operational characteristics are similar to permitted
uses found in the C-l and c-o such as schools, studios for arts, crafts, photography, music and
dance. He further explained the request entails the placement of a 32" x 16' (42.66 square feet),
painted wooden auto-oriented facade sign on the upper facade of the building, and based on the
Design Standards the applicant is entitled to 39 square feet of signage and the proposed sign
exceeds the maximum allowed by 3.66 square feet. Staff recommends the DRC consider
deeming this use compatible and similar to uses allowed in the C-l Zone, with a condition added
that the use shall not conduct church related services, and if the use is deemed compatible
approve the proposed auto-oriented facade sign subject to the applicant reducing the sign by 3.66
square feet in area.
Chairman Sands asked if there was anyone present wishing to speak on the matter.
Ms. Mary Kirk, Coldwell Banker, representing the principals in the acquisition of the property
at 137 North Main Street, stated that one of the things everyone is looking forward to is the
growth and development of the Main Street area. She commented on the guidelines having gone
PAGE TWO - DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE MINUTES - mLY 16, 1997
toward antique stores although there have been several other uses permitted. She commented on
the uses permitted in the C-l designation and stated it would not appear that this type of
organization is contrary to those uses. Ms. Kirk stated the principals are present this evening and
will answer any questions that arise. She stated that this is a non-denomination school made up
of several different churches in the area, training and education of eventual ordination of
ministers, and that there will be approximately 20 students and the school offers both classroom
facilities and correspondence courses that will not impact the traffic pattern. Ms. Kirk then
introduced Pastor Hakansson.
-
Pastor Hakansson stated that previously they had a school for ministers in the Canary Islands.
He explained that the school is a non-profit organization and that two classes and correspondence
courses are planned. The main course will be held Thursday evening, a youth leading training
course is planned, and everyone attending the class will practice their preaching Sunday
mornings.
Committee Member Matthies stated the proposed sign exceeds the maximum allowed space and
asked the applicant if they had been informed of this. Pastor Hakansson responded in the
negative and explained that the measurements were taken from the existing sign, but will reduce
the sign to conform. Committee Member Matthies asked if this sign would be grandfathered in.
Community Development Director Leslie responded in the negative and explained that with the
change to the sign face it must be brought into conformance. Committee Member Matthies asked
how the school was financially supported. Pastor Hakansson stated they receive donations, but
donations mostly from the students.
Committee Member Schiffner stated that he had no problem with the use as long as it is not
prohibited, and would like to see it come in.
Committee Member Barnes asked about the hours of operation. Pastor Hakansson stated the
hours of operation are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., to receive applications and answer questions,
classes would be conducted from 7:00-9:00 p.m., and 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Sunday morning.
Committee Member Barnes asked if this was seven days a week. Pastor Hakansson stated that
it would be four days a week, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, but this could change
depending on the need. Committee Member Barnes asked if parking would be on Main Street.
Associate Planner Villa stated the City lot on Peck Street behind the building would be utilized
for parking.

2. Outdoor Seating and Live Entertainment at 141 North Main Street - Frank and Alice
Jackson (Chuckles Java Junction)
Associate Planner Villa explained the request is for outdoor seating and indoor/outdoor
live entertainment at 141 North Main Street. The outdoor seating entails placement of
portable tables and chairs (5 small tables with chairs and 3 larger tables with chairs)
along the frontage of the building and adjacent to the planter area in the public right-of-
way. The live entertainment entails 1 to 3 performers using electrical and amplified
musical instruments on a regular basis. He explained the Zoning Code allows live
entertainment in the C-2 Zone subject to a Conditional Use Permit and in the C-P Zone
when associated with a hotel/motel. Staff request the DRC consider the request and if
the DRC considers these requests appropriate for the Downtown area, staff recommends
approval subject to Exhibit "B" and the six conditions contained in the report.
Chairman Sands noted the letter received from Mr. & Mrs. Frame, 118 Heald Avenue,
expressing concern on the noise associated with live music provided by Chuckles Java
Junction. Chairman Sands asked Mr. Jackson if he had received a copy of the letter.
Mr. Jackson responded in the affirmative. Chairman Sands asked Mr. Jackson if he
would like to provide some insight on his request.
Mr. Jackson stated that he was in agreement with the letter received from Mr. & Mrs.
Frame regarding the noise and this has been included in the requirements not to exceed
60 decibels. Mr. Jackson stated their objective is to keep the music down to a listening
level, and this will be controlled. Mr. Jackson commented on the number of people
brought into the Downtown area by the music and they are walking the streets looking
into the stores and wanting to buy; however, the stores won't stay open. Mr. Jackson
stated that staying open is a stay-over from the past and the shop owners don't won't to
be there after dark and trying to show people that it is safe.
PAGE TWO - DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE MINUTES - AUGUST 20, 1997
Committee Member Barnes asked if this would be seven days a week year-round. Mr.
Jackson stated that it would be Friday, Saturday and Sunday, year-round. Mr. Jackson
stated that some of the entertainers will not perform outside because of fear factors, but
never had any difficulty. Committee Member Barnes inquired about the hours of
operation. Mr. Jackson stated the hours on Friday and Saturday are from 7:00 p.m. to
10:00 p.m. and Sunday from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Committee Member Wilsey commented on the dimensions of the comer area, Exhibit
"B". Associate Planner Villa explained that Exhibit "B" illustrates the seating area that
staff would recommend and allows proper pedestrian traffic on Main Street and Peck
Street. Committee Member Wilsey asked Mr. Jackson if he had seen Exhibit "B" and -
whether he had any comments. Mr. Jackson stated that he had seen Exhibit "B" and that
it is fine. Committee Member Wilsey referred to the letter of complaint and inquired
about the use of acoustics rather than amplification. Mr. Jackson stated that they tried
this, but the traffic on the street was so loud that it over powered the singers. Mr.
Jackson stated that he has informed all of the performers that if they do not abide by the
requirements they are out and will get people who will.
Committee Member Barnes asked Mr. Jackson if he realized that he would be responsible
for crowd control. Mr. Jackson responded in the affirmative.
Committee Member Wilsey stated that carriage rides would go great with this type use
and liven up the Downtown area and change the element. He stated the City could not
financially assist, but maybe the Downtown Business Association would want to help and
get some night tourism going. Mr. Jackson stated this is a favorable idea and would
check it out. Mr. Jackson stated that they do carry insurance and the City is named as
additional insured.
Committee Member Schiffner asked when security has to be provided, referring to the
number of people and type of event. Mr. Jackson stated that it is moved inside when it
gets too crowded. Community Development Director Leslie stated that at this point, the
only thing governing the crowds are: 1) capacity of the building; and 2) the outdoor area _
is limited to the number of seats provided.
Committee Member Matthies stated that all of her questions have been answered and has
no problem as long as the applicant is in agreement with the conditions.
Chairman Sands stated that he had no problem with the concept, but concerned with the
complaint on noise. Chairman Sands stated that he was on Main Street today and
received two favorable comments on the music from other merchants.
MOVED BY COMMITTEE MEMBER WILSEY, SECONDED BY COMMITTEE
MEMBER MATTHIES TO APPROVE THE OUTDOOR SEATING AND LIVE
ENTERTAINMENT AT 141 NORTH MAIN STREET SUBJECT TO EXHIBIT "B"
AND 6 CONDITIONS OF APPROV AL.
Condition 1: The applicant shall comply with the general seating areas sketched
on Exhibit "B".
a. Outdoor seating shall not extend further than 3 feet
from the furthest projection of the face of the
subject building.

PAGE THREE - DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE MINUTES - AUGUST 20,1997
Condition 4: The applicant shall maintain the general seating areas clean from
any trash, debris, and stains on the pavement at all times.
Condition 5: All entertainment held in conjunction with the business shall abide

Control) of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code.
Condition 6: The applicant shall sign and complete an "Acknowledgment of
Conditions" and shall return the executed original to the
Community Development Department for inclusion in the case
records.
Committee Member Barnes asked Mr. Jackson if the entertainers were paid by him,
whether they solicit or pay for play. Mr. Jackson stated that he pays the entertainers and
pays them all the same so there is no favoritism or solicitation to get more money, and
they get advertisement--write up in the newspapers.
THE FOREGOING MOTION CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE OF THOSE
PRESENT.
Community Development Director Leslie informed Mr. Jackson that there is a ten-day
appeal period, and has received no indication that anyone will file an appeal. Also, an
indemnity agreement will need to be executed as required by condition number 3, and
the Engineering Department has examples.
AT THIS TIME, ASSOCIATE PLANNER VILLA ASKED THE COMMITTEE TO
CONSIDER ADDING TO THE AGENDA A SIGNAGE APPLICATION FOR DISCOUNT
VIDEO AT 124 WEST GRAHAM AVENUE.
MOVED BY COMMITTEE MEMBER WILSEY, SECONDED BY COMMITTEE MEMBER
SCHIFFNER AND CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE OF THOSE PRESENT TO ADD
THE SIGNAGE APPLICATION FOR DISCOUNT VIDEO AT 124 WEST GRAHAM
AVENUE TO THE AGENDA.
3. Sign for Discount Video - 124 West Graham - Robert Ferry
Associate Planner Villa explained the request is for a change of face for an existing
(double faced) projecting sign on the upper facade of the building, as required by
Condition #1 of DRC approval on May 21, 1997 for a Video Store. The Standards state
that Projecting Signs are recommended where it is not possible to use a freestanding sign
and that the sign area not exceed 10 square feet. The proposed sign is 20 square feet.
The Committee is asked to consider allowing this non-conforming sign.
Committee Member Wilsey stated that with the exception of square footage the sign is
in compliance, correct? Community Development Director Leslie stated that all other
aspects of the sign meets the Standards.
Chairman Sands asked whether a variance of ten-feet was being asked for. Committee
Member Barnes stated it is his understanding that the sign is existing and modifying the
sign face. Community Development Director Leslie stated there is a provision in the
Code that states with a change in sign face the sign can be made to be brought into
conformance.
Committee Member Schiffner inquired about the ten-foot limitation. Community
Development Director Leslie stated that when the Standards were prepared various
downtowns were visited and signs looked at and ten-foot came out as a common size.
MOTION BY COMMITTEE MEMBER MATTHIES, SECONDED BY COMMITTEE
MEMBER SCHIFFNER AND CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE OF THOSE
PRESENT TO APPROVE THE PROJECTING SIGN FOR DISCOUNT VIDEO AT 124
WEST GRAHAM AVENUE.

BUSINESS LICENSE APPLICATIONS
3. 112 North Main Street - Joe's T.V. - Joe Zahabi
Associate Planner Villa explained the request is for a business license to operate a
television repair shop at 112 North Main Street. Previously, a T.V. repair shop was
next door. Staff has made a finding that the use is consistent with the service
establishment use that includes appliance repair. Staff recommends approval subject to
the conditions contained in the report.
Committee Member Matthies asked if the applicant was aware that the sale of new/used -
appliance was prohibited. Associate Planner Villa responded in the affirmative.
Discussion ensued on whether unclaimed appliances could be sold or whether this would
be prohibited.
Committee Member Schiffner stated that he would not have any objection with an
occasional sale happening, but since the Standards have such a restriction would not want
the applicant to get into trouble. Community Development Director Leslie stated that if
the applicant was bringing in used or new appliances for the specific purpose of resale
then there would be a problem, but does not believe the occasional sale of unclaimed
appliances would be a problem.
MOTION BY COMMITTEE MEMBER MATTHIES, SECONDED BY
COMMITTEE MEMBER BARNES AND CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE
OF THOSE PRESENT TO APPROVE THE BUSINESS LICENSE FOR JOE'S
TELEVISION REPAIR AT 112 NORTH MAIN STREET SUBJECT TO THE
FOLLOWING 2 CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.

BUSINESS LICENSE APPLICATIONS
1. Carousel Carriage - DRC Consideration of Business License Approval for Operation of
For Hire Horse Drawn Carriages in Planning Area 1 of Historic Elsinore District - Roy
& Chris Comstock
Community Development Director Leslie stated that Mr. Jackson will explain the
proposed use and address parking of vehicles to load/unload the carriages and horses and
the passenger waiting area. Mr. Leslie reported that this proposal was discussed with
the Fire and Police Departments. Fire Chief Seabert indicated her only concern was that
a description of the route and hours of operation be provided. However, the Police
Department expressed more concern--they want to ensure that the drivers of the carriage
know what to do when they hear a siren, due to the proximity of the Fire Department
and Police Department; noted that the police get called down to the area of Peck and
Main frequently; noted that the hours of operation Sunday evening is also a shift change
and a busy time for them, and of major concern was the handling of money and it was
suggested that the carriage operator not carry cash and that they not handle cash at curb
side.
Mr. Jackson, 141 North Main Street, stated they will use tickets and collect all monies
inside. He explained the reason the police come down to Main and Peck a lot is because
they are trying to keep the City parking lot clean of vagrants and other unsavory soles,
which it has been for the last 2-3 weeks. Mr. Jackson stated that the horses are fully
trained with regard to the sirens. Community Development Director Leslie stated that
Mr. Comstock informed him that they are currently operating in Temecula and there is
a fire station on the route, Old Town Temecula. Mr. Jackson stated the owners are
looking for a home and wanting to get away from Temecula.
Mr. Jackson stated the first time they will have one carriage and see how it goes and the
second time may have two. Mr. Jackson noted the restriction on hours of operation, and
stated they have activities that will take place--like certain meetings at City Hall where
the carriage would be available. Mr. Jackson referred to the Grand Prix and stated they
PAGE TWO-SPECIAL DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE MINUTES-SEPTEMBER 11,1997
are going to try to shut down Main and Peck and have bands and the carriage rides, but
doesn't know if a special permit will be needed. Community Development Director
Leslie stated that condition number 3 also addresses special events, and the intent of this
condition is to note that the carriage can be used at other times, special events that are
not necessarily happening on a regular basis. For events such as the Grand Prix, the use
of the carriage, if possible, can be included in organizing the event overall with mention
that it is part of it. Mr. Jackson stated that there may be times when they want to take
the carriage ride over to the ballpark and work with the people at the ballgame, and tie
the two pieces of the City together.
-
Mr. Jackson asked if everyone had seen the carriage. He then stated that they also have
trollies and various carriages, but chose the black carriage with a white horse. Once in
a while we would like to bring a trolley over for larger events. Mr. Jackson submitted
a letter from Enchanted Treasures authorizing the use of their parking lot for unloading
of equipment. Community Development Director Leslie asked if there was sufficient
room. Mr. Jackson stated they will not try to unload in that parking lot and explained
that they will pull in down by the lumber yard, unload everything and then pull the
machinery in and then be able to pull the carriages out. Community Development
Director Leslie stated that Mr. Comstock indicated that it takes approximately 20 minutes
to unload.
Mr. Jackson stated that Sunday afternoon they have Kerokoe and have 75-100 people and
feel that they will ride the unit, but we have to integrate other times into it to get other
people. Vice Chairwoman Matthies asked Mr. Jackson if he was trying for different
hours other than Sundays. Mr. Jackson responded in the affirmative and stated that he
felt he could just call and inform the Community Development Director of the event
taking place. Community Development Director Leslie stated that he would only need
to be informed if the carriage was proposed on a regular basis or making some change
so that the emergency services can be notified as well. Committee Member Schiffner
stated this should be done anytime there is an event other than the scheduled event.
-
Committee Member Schiffner asked if an alternate route was allowed for. Community
Development Director Leslie explained that Mr. Comstock will be pulling a City
Business License that would allow him to operate any where within the City. Committee
Member Schiffner commented that this operation would not be restricted to the route
submitted. Community Development Director Leslie stated that he is restricted to this
route as his regular Sunday route. Mr. Jackson stated that he is carrying insurance and
that Mr. Comstock is carrying insurance naming the City as additional insured.
Committee Member Schiffner asked about the fee for the carriage ride. Mr. Jackson
responded the fee will be $5.00 per person.
Vice Chairman Matthies asked if the Downtown Business Association was involved. Mr.
Jackson responded in the negative and stated the participants are merchants that will
benefit from this operation.
Committee Member Barnes referred to the letter from the adjacent property owner and
asked if they were aware that there would be horses in the equipment and if there was
any problem with that. Mr. Jackson responded in the negative and stated that they are
contacting the people across the street to see if arrangements can also be made with
them, we are trying to get 2-3 places as we do not want to be restricted. Also, funerals
and weddings can be done as he is versatile and believes the City could really use this.
Mr. Jackson asked for the next scheduled City Council meeting stating that he would like
to bring the carriage out and park in front of the Cultural Center and take the Council
members for a carriage ride. Committee Member Schiffner asked if handicap
accessibility and children were taken into consideration. Mr. Jackson responded in the
affirmative.
Committee Member Schiffner asked Mr. Jackson if he had a problem with this being
approved on a limited basis with the potential for extension. Mr. Jackson stated this is
up to the DRC and something the City needs. Committee Member Schiffner stated that
he likes the idea, but since there is a possibility that it can be done on a limited
PAGE THREE-SPECIAL DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE MINUTES-SEPTEMBER 11, 1997
basis and see how it works before making a permanent commitment. Committee
Member Barnes stated the license would have to be permanently qualified. Mr. Jackson
stated this has a license for three years, and each Sunday is covered as each Sunday
comes up, so I could say there will be no rides this Sunday because it is too hot.
Committee Member Schiffner referred to the statement in the Staff Report "may want to
consider approving this use on a trail basis pursuant to a limited duration with the
potential for extension" and asked for clarification. Community Development Director
Leslie explained that Mr. Comstock suggested a 4-6 month trial period as he has run into
this in other cities that he operates in on a regular basis. Community Development
Director Leslie further explained that it is possible to get a business license for less than
a year, if so conditioned. Mr. Jackson stated that Mr. Comstock was prepared to pay
for the full license and that a lot of the winter will be lost and may not be able to run it
for months on end, and will have to look at each Sunday. Mr. Jackson stated the reason
for the push is that there will be a big write up in the paper on Main Street within the
next couple of weeks, interviewing shop owners and taking pictures and wanted to put
the horse in there too.
Committee Member Schiffner reiterated that he was in favor, but if there is a possibility
to do it on a limited basis, approve without obligating ourselves too far ahead. Mr.
Jackson asked Committee Member Schiffner if he was concerned with a year.
Committee Member Schiffner responded in the negative. Committee Member Barnes
stated the business license could be revoked if there are too many violations.
MOVED BY COMMITTEE MEMBER SCHIFFNER, SECONDED BY COMMITTEE
MEMBER BARNES AND CARRIED BY A VOTE OF 3-0 TO APPROVE THE
BUSINESS LICENSE FOR OPERATION OF FOR HIRE HORSE DRAWN
CARRIAGES (CAROUSEL CARRIAGE) IN PLANNING AREA 1 OF HISTORIC
ELSINORE DISTRICT AT 141 NORTH MAIN STREET SUBJECT TO THE 6

Community Development Director or DRC if necessary.
4. All horses used in the operation shall be fitted with diaper bags. After each
operation, the operator will be required to check the route and clean-up any
debris or waste left by the operation. The operator will haul off all waste
generated.
5. The operator prior to the start of operation must identify a location where
transporting vehicles will be parked and unloaded and loaded. Prior to start of

Development Department, if private property is proposed for use evidence of the
owner's permission must be first provided to the Community Development
Department in addition to obtaining their approval.
6. The operators may not restrict parking on Peck Street, as currently posted. If
parking restrictions are desired for benefit of the carriages a separate application
as well as City Council approval will be required as required by the Municipal
Code.

noted that he was in favor of this business.
Committee Member Wilsey stated that the project and it's use is fine, however he noticed
that the previous business license item and this one did not have the signage application
with them. He asked if staff was still notifying them that when they submit their
application for business license they can apply for their signage at the same time to
stream line the permit process. Associate Planner Villa stated that the applicants are
notified, however due to the design standards they feel that they require more time to
consider what they will use for signage. Committee Member Wilsey asked if they wait
to see if they get the business license approval before they proceed with signage.
Associate Planner Villa concurred.

INFORMATIONAL
Carousel Carriaee
Chairman Sands stated that he had talked to Jan Howard from Memory Lane Antiques and she
requested that the route be extended to encompass all the businesses on Main Street. He stated
that he does not know how this could be accomplished and asked that staff handle this. He
further stated that he was told that someone was asking the merchants to support the Carriage
Ride and asked staff how this project was to be supported.
Community Developer Director Leslie stated that the carriage ride has contracted with Chuckles
Java Junction who in turn has guaranteed a certain amount of money for each time the carriage
is here. He eXplained that the owner of Chuckles Java Junction approached other businesses
down town to see if they would be willing to help defray that guarantee. There was general
discussion in regard to the [mandaI process of the carriage ride. Community Development
Director Leslie stated that because this ride is being done in conjunction with Chuckles Java
Junction, the pick-up and drop-off is next to the establishment on Peck Street and gave an
overview of the route. Chairman Sands clarified the map that was on the flier provided at
Chuckles Java Junction. Community Development Director Leslie noted the problem of
extending the route to Heald Street due to the pick-up and drop-off of passengers as well as the
fact that the Police Department has suggested that the driver carry no money, therefore all the
money transactions will be conducted inside of Chuckles Java Junction. There was general
discussion regarding the parking on Peck Street and it was noted that the carriage cannot block
off spaces since they will have to approach City Council to have a designated parking area.
Committee Member Schiffner stated that it would not pose too much of a problem if they wished
to extend the route by using a "figure eight" route then they could tour both sides of the street.
Community Development Director Leslie stated that it is a good idea and can be suggested and
if it is something that they would like to do, then they would need to come to Planning
Department and present a new route so that he could provide it to police and fire.
Committee Member Matthies noted that the only problem she could see with a figure eight is that
if they turn left there is no stop sign at the intersection and this could pose a traffic problem.
PAGE FOUR - DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE MINUTES - SEPTEMBER 17, 1997
Committee Member Wilsey stated that these types of activities have caused more people to come
to the down town area and the businesses might like to extend their hours to take advantage of
foot traffic on Main Street.

at 112 and 114 North Main Street. He further explained that the applicant also wished

and craft store at 123-B North Main Street. The building in which this business is

space was occupied by an antique co-op, a furniture store and a restaurant. This use is
consistent with the underlying C-l and c-o zoning districts, and staff recommends
approval.

he asked for discussion at the table. There being no discussion he called for a motion.

DRC.
4. 112 South Main Street - Elsinore TV - Gasan Zahabi
Senior Planner Villa explained the request is for a business license to operate a television
and VCR repair shop at 112 South Main Street. Currently the building is vacant. The
zoning for Planning Area 1 of the Historic Downtown Overlay District allow uses within
the C-1 and c-o districts. Since, this use could be considered consistent with the C-1
and c-o districts and compatible with the current existing uses within the immediate
vicinity, staff recommends approval.

he asked for discussion at the table.
Committee Member Matthies stated that televisions are being displayed in the front
window of the building and are those not for sale.

this would be restrictive to tell the applicant that he cannot do this.

of appliances could be limited to no displays.
