DESIGN APPLICATIONS
1. 107 East Graham Avenue - Elsinore Christian Center.
Senior Planner Villa explained that this is a consideration to expand related church
activities which are located at 119 East Graham and they are requesting approval to
expand church and office related operations for such things as youth and adult bible
study, administrative functions and outreach programs to 107 East Graham Avenue which
is directly adjacent to the existing church. He noted that the previous use at this location
was a video rental establishment. Senior Planner Villa noted that the subject site is being
proposed within Planning Area 1 of the Historic Elsinore Overlay and within the
Neighborhood Commercial (NC) Land Use District. The NC District allows uses within
the C-l and c-o Zoning. The C-l Zoning does not specifically allow bible study schools.
He commented that it allows churches including in conjunction with a parochial school
subject to a Conditional Use Permit pursuant to Section 17.40.030. A, of the Municipal
Code. He noted that the existing church facility does not have a conditional use permit
and has been deemed legal non-conforming. He further explained that the facility will
be used on Tuesday nights from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., Wednesday nights from 7:00 to
8:00 p.m. and once a month on Saturday nights from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. for outreach
programs. Senior Planner Villa stated that under normal circumstances, this proposal
would be required to comply with the requirements of a Conditional Use Permit for
conformance and expansion of use. He noted however, that the Historic Elsinore
Standards allows other uses that the Design Review Committee (DRC) find to be
compatible with the purpose of the underlying zone. He further noted that the DRC may
also elect to require the proposed use to file for a Conditional Use Permit. He explained
that in the past, bible study uses have been approved within Planning Area 1 by the DRC
and there is a church at the comer of Heald A venue and Main Street and a Bible Study
School on Main Street.
Pastor Hilbrant provided a brief history on their existing location and explained that last
year the DRC granted them use of the building that previously housed Mel's TV;
however, this building has been sold. He explained that their facility has run out of room
and the building would be used for more room. Pastor Hilbrant explained that they are
presently in negotiations with another church to move into their facility. He then
commented on the parking situation and stated they would continue to use the street and
city parking lot.
PAGE TWO - SPECIAL DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE - JANUARY 13, 1998
Star Bassion, Main Street Florist, commented on noise, traffic and stated her concern is
what the outreach program involves. Pastor Hilbrant explained the outreach program is
to reach out to the homeless people. Once a month on Saturday night our facility is open,
food given out and gospel message/testimony shared. We will have security there and
this is nothing different from what we have been doing for the past 5-1/2 years.
Alice Jackson, Chuckles, asked if the kitchen has been approved by the County Health
Department to service these people with food. Pastor Hilbrant stated that food would not
be served from the kitchen, only coffee and a donut. Ms. Jackson stated she was told by
the Health Department that any food had to have a license through the Environmental
Health Department. Pastor Hilbrant stated that he would have to check into this.
-
Fred Dominguez, Elsinore Barber Shop, commented on the two churches on Main Street
coming in and the businesses on Main Street not aware of their acceptance. They came
in and the City gave the permission. The guidelines state no churches on Main Street.
The alley is the boundary where you have the Historical District and they were on the
other side and that is where they were granted a permit to meet on that side because it
was not on the Historical side. Mr. Dominguez then commented on parking and the
church patrons utilizing parking spaces in front of the businesses. Pastor Hilbrant stated
that they are an existing church and only want to get more space. He stated that as far
as parking, they park in the parking lot, on Graham Street and use the dirt parking lot,
and leave the parking spaces in front of the businesses open for their patrons. Pastor
Hilbrant stated that they are a growing church and need room.
Star Bassion stated that she was not adverse to freedom of belief, but has a problem with
customers being accosted on a Sunday morning with flyers, foghorns and people praising
God. Ms. Basion then commented on the undesirable people on Main Street.
A lady from the audience stated that the City and the Police Department have worked
hard for the past few years and done a wonderful in cleaning up the streets and we don't
want to see it happen again.
-
Paula Maniscalco, Enchanted Treasures, stated they do not want to see a program that
will call undesirables into town, because we have spent three years getting them out of
town.
Jane Howard, Memory Lane Antiques, commented on her work with Caltrans to advertise
Main Street and would like to see Main Street stay commerce. Ms. Howard stated that
she would not want to see a food line on Main Street.
Pastor Hilbrant stated that he understands the concerns, but asking for a block of three
hours a month, and if this gives someone hope. Pastor Hilbrant stated that the kitchen
will not be used, there will not be any cooking, there will not be any food lines. Pastor
Hilbrant asked about using the building for Sunday School.
Claudio Lucerno, Italian Restaurant, stated that his decision to come to Main Street was
that he could see it was changing, getting more business/commerce on Main Street. He
stated that a good deal of money was put into the purchase and renovation of the
building. He stated that Saturday night is objectionable because in the restaurant business
Saturday night is a busy night. Would like to see Main Street become commerce.
Parking is the main concern. _
Vera Dawson, Collector's Coral, stated that the church parishioners might come into the
stores but they don't buy. Ms. Dawson then commented on crimp notenthl shopliftin,?
PAGE THREE - SPECIAL DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE - JANUARY 13, 1998
Committee Member Wilsey asked if churches are strictly prohibited by the Historic
Downtown Standards. Senior Planner Villa stated that it does not and Planning Area 1
allows the uses in the c-o and C-1.
Committee Member Schiffner asked for the size of the congregation on a Sunday or at
a meeting. Pastor Hilbrant stated about 110-120 people at anyone service. Committee
Member Schiffner asked how many people would be involved with the Saturday outreach
program. Pastor Hilbrant stated approximately 10 people from the church and about 30
people for the program.
Committee Member Schiffner stated he favored this type of operation, but also
sympathetic to the neighbors and how this conflicts with their business. Committee
Member Schiffner stated that he would be against expanding it.
Committee Member Wilsey commented on churches being an integral part of the
community and favors churches and outreach programs. He commented on the cleanup
of Main Street and stated that as the downtown business people become more prosperous
our downtown area will become more prosperous and these people will go on down the
road. Committee Member Wilsey stated that he did not see a problem with an outreach
program simply because we have these individuals in our community now. Committee
Member Wilsey asked if the existing facility could not be used for the outreach program
and bible study and transfer the administrative offices into this facility. Pastor Hilbrant
stated the building would be used basically for Sunday School and bible study, as far as
anything else besides that once, if possible that Saturday outreach, it will not be used any
other time. Pastor Hilbrant reiterated that he has run out of Sunday School rooms and
this is a 1,200 square foot building and that it would be nice to have them all in that area.
Pastor Hilbrant reiterated that this would be used mainly for bible study and Sunday
School on Sunday morning, and would be willing to move the outreach to the other part
of it. Committee Member Wilsey asked if residences on the other side of the church
away from Main Street had been researched. Pastor Hilbrant stated they were using an
adjacent unit but it was too small, and that all the adjacent residential units are being used
or boarded up and all the units on Graham are used. Committee Member Wilsey asked
if there was a parking agreement with the mortuary on file. Pastor Hilbrant stated that
they have a verbal parking agreement with the mortuary and have had it for 5-1/2 years.
Committee Member Schiffner asked whether the building could be used only for Sunday
School and not used during the evening. Pastor Hilbrant stated the building is also
needed for a couple nights a week. Committee Member Schiffner asked Pastor Hilbrant
if they could get along without the outreach program at this building. Pastor Hilbrant
stated they could if they had to and could conduct the outreach program at the existing
church facility.
Committee Member Barnes asked Pastor Hilbrant if he would be willing not to use
Saturday night, no Friday or Saturday night. Pastor Hilbrant stated they want it and
would like to have it, believes it will be a benefit, but if couldn't use it then we would
not use that facility. We would use what we have been using for the past 5-1/2 years,
which is our own facility.
Chairman Sands stated that he has empathy for both groups.

BUSINESS LICENSE APPLICATIONS

Assistant Planner Miller explained the request is for a business license to operate a retail
store selling Native American and southwest items, at 128 North Main Street. This use
would be consistent with the uses permitted in the Historic Elsinore Design Standards and

PAGE TWO - DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE MINUTES - FEBRUARY 4,1998
DESIGN APPLICATIONS
3. Freestanding Sign - 201 North Main - Church of Christ
Assistant Planner Miller explained the request is for a change of face for a legally
nonconforming freestanding sign at 201 North Main Street, Planning Area 1 of the
Historic Elsinore Overlay District. The existing freestanding sign consists of a single
brown pole with an internally illuminated oval can sign at the top of the pole, 20-feet in
height. The oval portion of the sign is in poor condition and appears to be inoperable.
The area of the oval sign is 3 112' tall by 8' wide by 18" deep (approximately 24 square
feet of sign area on each side), in question is the height, prohibition of internally
illuminated signs and the Conditional Use Permit granted in May 1997. Also, there is
another existing sign located at the front of the building and it is attached to the extended
overhang above the entrance, which is approximately 6" x 60" and reads "Church of
Christ." The applicant states this sign will be removed after the approval of the existing
freestanding pole sign. Staff recommends consideration of the request and direction
given on future church applications along Main Street.
-
Chairman Sands asked if anyone wished to speak on the proposal. Hearing none he asked
for discussion.
Committee Member Wilsey stated the DRC did not grandfather the sign and explained
the sign was approved for repair, by the previous church, and the only way it could be
brought into conformance was that the DRC had to reach a fmding that said that sign was
in need of repair and the repair was preferable to leaving it the way it was. The sign was
never repaired and reluctant to consider making another finding on a sign that was never
fixed in the first place, get rid of it. Committee Member Wilsey questioned the issues
contained in the Staff Report, referring to the Conditional Use Permit, etc. Basically, the
church is asking for a permit for a freestanding sign which is nonconforming. A better
avenue would have been in staff comments to the DRC and not put into the context of
a Conditional Use Permit for a sign. Committee Member Wilsey stated that he has heard
numerous concerns on the number of churches being allowed on Main Street. He further
stated that churches in our community need to be looked at on a one-to-one basis.
-
Committee Member Schiffner stated he does not want to deny the sign and suggested that
a condition be added that if the sign is not repaired in 60 days that it shall come down.
Senior Planner Villa stated there are a number of legal nonconforming signs on Main
Street and a decision must be made when they will be brought into conformance with the
Historic Elsinore Standards. Committee Member Schiffner stated this would have to be
done on a case-by-case basis.
Committee Member Barnes stated the sign is too commercial and it should be removed.
He stated that a church does not need an advertising sign. Committee Member Barnes
suggested the small wall sign be brought into conformance and get rid of the aerial
lighted sign. Committee Member Schiffner stated that he would agree this is not the best
sign for a church, but believes they are requesting this because it is there and the least
expensive way to get a sign, and not opposed to its repair provided it is done in a
reasonable period of time.
There was general discussion on repairing the sign and what the repair entails.
Committee Member Wilsey asked who would incur the cost for removing the sign.
Senior Planner Villa explained that the Structure Abatement Program provides for the
condemnation and removal of legal nonconforming signage. Committee Member
Schiffner stated that with the Structure Abatement a lien would be placed against the
property and the City would not be reimbursed until the property is sold, this is one of
the complaints.
-
PAGE THREE - DESIGN REVIEW COMMITIEE MINUTES - FEBRUARY 4, 1998
Committee Member Schiffner reiterated that his preference is to see the sign repaired.
Committee Member Matthies concurred with Committee Member Schiffner. Chairman
Sands stated he thought the consensus was to remove the freestanding sign and bring the
existing wall sign into conformance and this would be his opinion. Committee Member
Wilsey concurred with Chairman Sands.
There was general discussion on the removal of the freestanding sign and researching the
Structure Abatement Ordinance to ensure removal of the sign.
MOVED BY WILSEY TO DENY THE FREESTANDING SIGN AT 201 NORTH
MAIN STREET AND RECOMMEND TO THE APPLICANT THAT THEY COME
BACK WITH A MORE TRADITIONAL BUILDING SIGN TO BRING THE
EXISTING SIGN INTO CONFORMANCE, SECONDED BY BARNES AND
CARRIED BY A VOTE OF 5-0.
Committee Member Wilsey requested the DRC continue discussion on churches and give staff
direction. Chairman Sands stated that each church application should be considered on a one-to-
one basis for the time being. Committee Member Schiffner stated he feels this way too, but
policy cannot be established.
Committee Member Wilsey stated the people he has talked to have concern about interfering with
commerce on Main Street, and they do not like the churches taking up commerce locations.
Committee Member Barnes stated one of the things that concerned him about the freestanding
sign is that merchants are not allow signs like this, and they are the ones that need the
advertisement.

3. 104 North Main Street - Vintage Ceramics - Troy Byrd
Community Development Director Brady noted that this is for Vintage Ceramics that was
before you for a business license located at 104 North Main Street and asked that Assistant
Planner Miller present the proposal.
-
Assistant Planner Miller noted that this is a primary wall sign for Vintage Ceramics at 104
North Main Street and the style, size and colors of the proposed primary wall sign comply
with the requirements of the Historic Elsinore Overlay District and staff recommends
approval of the proposed wall sign. She further noted that after talking to the applicant
regarding the temporary sign in his window, Ms. Miller had found that there may have
been some confusion regarding the sign requirements for the downtown area. She stated
that the window sign criteria stated that a sign can be painted on the glass or attached to
the glass, Mr. Byrds temporary sign currently is six inches away from the window and
after speaJdng with Senior Planner Villa in his opinion bad felt that the sign in Mr. Byrds
window was not significant enough to cause a problem.
Commissioner Wilsey noted that in the past it has been allowed for businesses in the
downtown area to put signage or informational up in their windows if it were inside and
not attached to the window without additional permits.
Commissioner Sands asked Mr. Byrd if the existing sign in his window wu a temporary
use. Mr. Byrd noted that be will be submitting the existing sign for approval and was not
aware that having a sign ulUtttacbed and six inches away from the window was not
allowed.
-
Commissioner Sands asked if the existing sign was the same as the wall sign proposal.
Mr. Byrd noted that the existing sign is smaller and will be placed inside the store attached
to the window after approval.
Commissioner Sands asked if the sign conformed to the Downtown Standards. Mr. Byrd
stated that the sign did conform with the Downtown Standards.
PAGE THREE - DESIGN REVIEW COMMI'ITEE MINUTES - MAY 6, 1998
Commissioner Wilsey noted that there seemed to be some confusion as to what is allowed
to be put in a window and recommended that the sign be brought back to the Design
Review Committee for review and clarification.
Commissioner Matthies noted that at her business she was allowed to have signage and
displays six inches or more away from the window.
Commissioner Schiffner noted that any kind of a sign that is located in the room or
building that is put there for the purpose of being viewed from the window is a window
sign but not a sign that was intended for viewing by the customers who have already
entered the establishment and the only reason that someone would put a sign in excess of
six inches from their window would be to put a sign that could not be approved for a
permit. Mr. Byrd concurred with Commissioner Schiffner.
Commissioner Schiffner noted that the existing sign will be assumed as a misunderstanding
and will be submitted for approval. He further noted that clarification of what is allowed
in the downtown area will need to be addressed.
Commissioner Wilsey noted that a fact sheet informing the public of what is allowed in
the downtown area was discussed at a meeting but was not aware if it was done.
Commissioner Schiffner recommended that existing signage in the downtown area be
grandfathered in and the downtown businesses will be informed as to what the sign
regulations are and therefore will be made to comply by those standards. Commissioner
Wilsey concurred with Commissioner Schiffner.
Mr. Byrd noted that the reason why he had the sign up was to let the public know where
he was located.
Commissioner Wilsey noted that when a new applicant presents an application for a
business license to prevent from losing time to open their business staff should make them
aware to present signage information at that time.
Commissioner Sands asked if anyone else wished to speak on the wall sign proposal.

BUSINESS LICENSE APPLICATION AND DESIGN APPLICATION
2. 323 North Main Street - Riverside Recovery Resources - Business License
Community Development Director Brady said this is for a business license for an existing
use and for additional operations at a business located at 323 North Main Street. He asked
Assistant Planner Miller to present the application.
Assistant Planner Miller recommended removal of the entire 3rd paragraph under
"Analysis". She submitted a photograph board for additional clarity. She indicated this is
a request for a business license to expand an existing business, which is a non profit
organization; the business has been operating since 1993; is currently licensed as an alcohol
and drug rehabilitation center; and it proposes to add a women and children's drug
rehabilitation program. She noted that the use of counseling offices is not specifically listed
but is closely related to medical use that is allowed in the C-O zone and is thereby allowed
in Historic Downtown Lake Elsinore. She explained parking requirements have not been
met and the applicant only shows four spaces, plus one handicapped space. She indicated
staff spoke to the applicant, and they responded that they could not add any more parking at
that site; staff tried a calculation and came up with a minimum of eight spaces, but because
the applicant said the majority of the clients do not drive, staff recommends the DRC
consider waiving the parking requirements and adopting condition # 1; staff also recommends
the DRC consider approving the applicant's request for this business license. She explained
there is one question remaining about the existing sign and staff neglected to add the
standard sign condition to this staff report and would like to add it now.
Jack Ketsdever, Executive Director of Riverside Recovery Resources, the parent corporation
that operates the Community Recovery Center of Lake Elsinore, indicated he would be
willing to answer any questions. He stated that the center has been in Lake Elsinore for four
years. He explained that the Center is not expanding that much and the proposed use will
be operated in the daytime. He noted that the average number of clientele will be 5-6 women

per day.
There was general discussion and two main areas of concern were noted - possible
discrimination by allowing only women and children and parking requirements.
Committee Member Barnes was concerned that the City may be in violation of
discrimination laws by approving this application which states the new program is for
women and children only. The consensus was to strike the 2nd paragraph under "proposed
operations" and thereby striking any reference to women only.
-
Chairman Sands noted the second area of concern is regarding the parking requirements and
stated he does not feel that the parking on Main and Pottery Streets should be considered in
meeting the requirements. He felt the only thing to do was to waive the parking
requirements. He stated that the Center is currently handling the parking situation well.

BUSINESS LICENSE APPLICATION AND DESIGN APPLICATION
2. 104 North Main Street - Soccer Supply - Business License
Community Development Director Brady stated this is for a business license for a business
located at 104 North Main Street. He asked Assistant Planner Miller to present the
application.
Assistant Planner Miller indicated this is a business license to operate a sporting goods store,
which was formerly located next to City Hall at 114 North Main Street. She noted the use
is allowed in the C-l Zone and therefore allowed in Area 1 of the Lake Elsinore Standards.
Assistant Planner Miller stated staff recommends approval of the business license. She also
noted that no sign has been submitted at this time.
Committee Member Barnes asked if the previous signage will be moved. Senior Planner
Miller indicated she, and the applicant, would like to know if it would be allowable for the
applicant to move the sign to the new location.
Committee Member Schiffner stated he does not think the DRC would have to approve the
moving of the sign.
Committee Member Matthies asked if the new building frontage is smaller. Assistant
Planner Miller stated she believes the new store frontage may be smaller and that a sign is
approved on linear feet of frontage. Community Development Director Brady indicated the
applicant will only be required to submit a sign application to the DRC if the sign does not
comply with City Standards.

BUSINESS LICENSE APPLICATION AND DESIGN APPLICATION
2. Business Expansion of La Unica Mexican Food and Bakery - 110 North Main Street
Community Development Director Brady stated this application is for the expansion
of a business in the downtown area. He requested Assistant Planner Miller review
this project.
Assistant Planner Miller stated this is an application for the expansion of La Unica
Mexican Food and Bakery, 110 North Main Street. The expansion will add 852
square feet of area, or approximately 48% to the existing business. This addition is
for a restaurant and two rest rooms. This use would require 23 additional parking
spaces. Assistant Planner Miller stated the Historic Elsinore Standards states "on-
site parking may be reduced if it can be demonstrated that sufficient off-site
municipal parking exists within three hundred (300) feet ofthe proposed use." She
stated there is a parking lot located off Peck Street, which is within 300 feet of the
business. She stated the restaurant use is allowed in Area 1 of the Historic Elsinore
Area, therefore, staff recommends approval of the expansion of La Unica Mexican
Food and Bakery.
Committee Member Barnes said he is concerned because the plans do not have a
structural engineer' s se~l or a current license of the building designers. He stated he
would like to see that the plans meet all applicable current standards. Senior Planner
Villa said the applicant is asking for approval of the use not the plans. Assistant
Planner Miller said Condition #1 covers this issue.
Committee Member Wilsey noted he is happy to see a business expanding on Main
Street.
PAGE 2 - DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE MINUTES - OCTOBER 21, 1998
Committee Member Schiffner said he is concerned about parking. He said he doesn't
want to give consideration to the parking issues when it is the employees who use the
parking on the street. Assistant Planner Miller said the owner of the business has
said his employees and the owners park on the side streets. Committee Member
Wilsey said the City Council needs to be pressed to limit the parking on Main Street
to 2 hours. There were additional comments regarding the problems with parking on
Main Street.
Committee Member Matthies said she is also concerned about the parking on Main
Street, but she does not think this one restaurant will cause a greater problem. She
stated that the restaurant is mostly for a place for people to eat their take-out food.
She said there is limited seating areas on Main Street to eat.
-
Committee Member Sands asked if there are parking spaces behind the business.
Assistant Planner Miller said there are two spaces in the back of the restaurant and
the owners have said they are left open for loading and unloading.
