Subject: [External]Commercials building’s needed in Lake Elsinore
Hello Council People,
I’m writing this email to bring up my ideas for buildings that should be priority in Lake Elsinore. These plots should be utilized in a way that would make more jobs available for people and provide more parking spaces for everyone including disabled people. We should also develop nursing homes and a DMV that would help create more city and nursing jobs for everyone in the town to avoid long commutes. By building nursing homes and senior living facilities people would be able to get vital and important job experience as well as visit their families more.
The Lake Elsinore has a thriving community that could be even better if we worked towards providing more opportunities for us.
Sincerely,
Perla X Yerena

Message from external sender. Use Caution.
Having grown up in Lake Elsinore I have always recognized that the city has tremendous potential.
Although we have recently started to prioritized the the health of the lake, the business ideas in the town is lacking. I am not alone when I say I oppose the building of the commercial lot on Lincoln and Riverside Dr. I understand allowing businesses into Lake Elsinore can be beneficial for the vision of the city, but a gas station, McDonald’s, and yet another storage center will not fulfill that vision. Maybe one day Lake Elsinore will adopt an identity for itself like other lake towns, such as Big Bear or Lake Arrowhead. But un<l then, the poor foresight and bad planning reminds me that I will have to keep saying, “Lake Elsinore will be great one day”. And that too, is a sentiment shared by many members of this town.

Good evening
We don’t need more gas stations, car washes and storage, what we need are nice restaurants (not fast food), stores like Kohls, Sprouts so we don’t have to go to murrieta or Temecula. Let’s bring up the image of Lake Elsinore!

Good evening.
I write to you with the best of interested for the future development for this building.
I'd like to agree with the rest of the community on how we don't need another car wash, gas station or self storage.
We recently moved to lake Elsinore and had high hopes for the community but quite frankly those hopes are vanishing. There is def room for improvement and it all starts with the city.
We'd like to see more of nice sit down restaurants, family friendly joints, fun activities more shopping retail options.
-Thank you,
Adriana De León

Subject: [External]New storage development
There is ABSOLUTELY NO NEED for another storage unit and empty store fronts or crackhead hangout in this town.
This area would be better as a wonderful.park area with a beautiful view of the lake and lake access, free to the public.
We have so many car washes in that area already, empty store fronts, laundromats....it's ridiculous.
Please consider doing something to actually beautify our town.
Thank you.

We do not want more gas stations or car washes. Please prioritize retail stores to bring in more tax revenue for the city.

Subject: [External]Riverside Dr/Lincoln Planning
Hello my name is Denise and I am a resident here in the city of Lake Elsinore. I am concerned about the planning for the empty lot on Riverside and Lincoln. I'd like to know the reasoning behind this proposal?
We have so many car washes, gas stations and storage units. I was disappointed to see via the Patch (online news source) that these were selected choices. Is there something else that can be placed here? Maybe something that can better attract the consumer. Thanks for your time.

Plans on that storage unit, gas station, car wash, and McDonald's on the corner of Riverside Dr./Lincoln!
Candice, this is my comment please read...
"I'm not opposed to the project if the following conditions are added.
1. Need parking. All the apartments are high density and the parking is non-existent.
2. Rvs and trucks with trailers need to be able to fuel and pull through safely.
3. Eliminate storage facility and allow more parking"

Subject: [External]Plans for more car washes and storage units?
Hello,
I am writing to you because I just found out about new plans to add another center with a McDonald’s, car wash, and storage unit!? Quite frankly at this point our city is laughable! What on earth do we need a car wash and storage unit on every corner of this city for? Why doesn’t the city make plans for things that people of the community would actually enjoy!? This is embarrassing to be honest and I sure hope someone speaks up about this! City planners need to be more creative and stop wasting space and keeping our city looking like junk! Let’s bring something desirable to our city for once! And who the heck is still eating McDonald’s these days!? Thank you

Subject: [External]Stop the project at Riverside/Lincoln
A project this size with the 12 pump gas station, storage units & a McDonald's is not good for this location. It is too near the lake, campground and high school.

To whom it may concern,
I am writing to oppose the Riverside Dr. and Lincoln permitting.
There's already so much traffic getting in and out of that intersection during high traffic times, not to mention the transients another gas station/7-11 would bring.
All the extra transient activity definitely makes me and other locals feel unsafe.
I've never done this before so I don't know if there's anything else I can do to try and have any say in the matter, but hopefully this helps.
Sincerely,
Celina Johnson

Subject: [External]Car wash by Lincoln st
Hello,I’m here to file a complaint about the new car wash u guys want to build. I feel very disappointed all the land we have but the city keeps using it for car washes and fast food instead of places of entertainment for kids, families and our other local residents. I feel also that will be an inconvenience to have another car wash so close by when we have about 3 other car washes not even half the rode down by four corners. The McDonalds and 7/11 does sound nice but please also think about your city and the traffic it will cause but of course it seems our communities voices are always left unheard.. it would be nice to see u guys build a fair or rolling skating rink I’ve heard lots of locals in this specific area get upset that we don’t have much places to take our families except for the parks because everything else is on the other side of the town. Anyways please do better for our community we know u can do it if u tried, thank you for your time! Message from external sender. Use Caution.

Subject: [External]Riverside/Lincoln Commercial Project
Hello,
My name is Ruby Bridgman and I am a resident of Lake Elsinore. I'd like to oppose on this project on Riverside/Lincoln. There are already 3 gas stations, most surrounded by homeless individuals. The community has plenty of car washes as well as and storage facilities. As nice as it is to have a 24 hour McDonalds, all I can forsee is a place for the homeless community to gather and scare away customers. Our community would like to have nicer restaurants, places to eat dessert or nice shopping areas that aren't run down. I hope this is taken into consideration for our community. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Ruby Bridgman

Planning Department
Lake Elsinore City Council
Dear Planning Department,
I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed commercial center development in Lake Elsinore, as outlined in the city plan. This development, spanning 51,101 square feet, directly contradicts the visionary goals set forth in Lake Elsinore's Dream Extreme 2040 plan. As a resident deeply invested in the future of our city, I believe it is imperative to uphold the principles and aspirations outlined in our community's long- term vision.
The Dream Extreme 2040 plan paints a vibrant picture of Lake Elsinore as the ultimate destination to live, work, play, build futures, and fulfill dreams. It envisions our city as a haven for action and adventure, attracting both visitors and residents alike. However, the proposed commercial center undermines this vision by failing to contribute positively to our city's unique identity and appeal.
One of the key components of Lake Elsinore's allure lies in its natural beauty and recreational opportunities centered around the lake. Any development within our city should aim to enhance these assets, rather than detract from them. Unfortunately, the proposed commercial center does not align with this principle. Instead, it represents yet another generic addition to our cityscape, devoid of any distinguishing features or value.
Furthermore, the commercial center fails to serve as a unique asset to Lake Elsinore. We do not need another convenience store, another car wash, or yet another fast -food restaurant. Such establishments do little to differentiate our city or elevate its standing as a destination for both leisure and business.
I urge the Lake Elsinore City Council to reconsider the approval of this commercial center development. Instead, let us focus our efforts on projects that align with the spirit of the Dream Extreme 2040 plan and contribute meaningfully to the growth and prosperity of our community. Let us prioritize developments that enhance our natural environment, promote sustainable growth, and foster a sense of pride and identity among residents.

Thank you for considering my concerns regarding this matter. I look forward to a thoughtful and deliberative discussion on the future direction of our beloved city.
Sincerely,
Loren Baker
