DATE: FEBRUARY 15, 2011
SUBJECT: VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 36117: A REQUEST
TO SUBDIVIDE APPROXIMATELY 89 ACRES OF LAND

The applicant is proposing to subdivide approximately 89 acres of land into 10 parcels (2
multiple family residential lots) pursuant to the requirements of the Canyon Hills Specific
Plan, Section 16 "Subdivisions" of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC), and the
California Subdivision Map Act (CSMA).

1A and 113). Access to the project site is available from Railroad Canyon Road.

Environmental Setting
The site is bounded on all sides by the following uses.
Project Description
The proposed subdivision is located within, and regulated by, the Canyon Hills Specific
Plan. The Specific Plan intends for those uses proposed with the Vesting Tentative Tract
Map, including multi - family residential development and open space areas, to be
constructed within the identified Planning Area locations. The proposed Vesting Tentative
Tract Map does not conflict with the intended land uses and their respective locations, nor
does the map conflict with the standards, objectives, and guidelines contained in the
Canyon Hills Specific Plan.
Since the applicant is only considering subdivision of the project site, architectural and /or
building plans for future residences, plotting plans, preliminary wall and fence plans, etc,
have not been submitted for review at this time. These issues will be addressed when the
applicant submits for Design Review approval in the future.
Analysis
The Vesting Tentative Tract Map proposes 10 parcels (2 multi - family residential; 2 open
space; 5 landscape, and 1 basin). Staff has determined that the application complies with
Chapter 8.7, (MF2) Multi - Family Attached Residential 2 District of the Canyon Hills Specific
Plan, and Section 16 "Subdivisions" of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code, and the
California Subdivision Map Act (CSMA). Environmental clearance for the requested

application is provided by the 2010 Addendum #3 to the Final Canyon Hills Specific Plan
EIR. City Planning and Engineering staffs have reviewed the project, and have no
concerns regarding the proposed request.
Environmental Determination
Environmental clearance and analysis for the proposed application is provided by
Addendum No. 3 to the certified Final Environmental Impact Report, for the Cottonwood
Hills Specific Plan. Addendum No. 3 was approved by the City Council in July 2010 to
address minor changes associated with Specific Plan Amendment No. 3 to the Cottonwood
Hills Specific Plan (renamed the Canyon Hills Specific Plan as part of Specific Plan
Amendment No. 1). In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, the Project does
not present a substantial change or new information that would require further CEQA
analysis. The environmental impacts associated with development of the Project were
contemplated by Addendum No. 3 to the certified Final Environmental Impact Report, (the
"FEIR ") for the Canyon Hills Specific Plan and were fully analyzed and mitigated therein.
No new CEQA documentation is necessary for the Project.
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution No. 2011 -_ adopting findings thatthe project is exemptfrom the
Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan; and,
Adopt Resolution No. 2011 - recommending to the City Council approval of

RESOLUTION NO. 2011-
RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA; ADOPTING FINDINGS THAT THE
SUBDIVISION IS EXEMPT FROM THE MULTIPLE SPECIES HABITAT
CONSERVATION PLAN (MSHCP)
WHEREAS, Pardee Homes has filed an application with the City of Lake Elsinore
requesting approval of Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 36117, which subdivides
approximately 89 acres of land into 10 parcels (2 multi - family residential; 2 open space;
5 landscape, and 1 basin) (the "Subdivision "); and
WHEREAS, Section IV(D) of the City of Lake Elsinore's MSHCP Implementing
Resolution expressly exempts from the MSHCP:
Any project for which and to the extent that vested rights to proceed with
the project notwithstanding the enactment of this Resolution exist under
the common laws of the State of California, a vesting tentative map
pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act, a development agreement pursuant
to Government Code section 65864 et seq., or other instrument, approved
or executed by the City prior to adoption of this Resolution. Projects
subject to this exemption must comply with all provisions of any applicable
state and federal law.
WHEREAS, public notice of the Subdivision has been given, and the Planning
Commission has considered evidence presented by the Community Development
Department and other interested parties at a public hearing held with respect to this
item on February 15, 2011.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LAKE
ELSINORE DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The Planning Commission has considered the Subdivision and its
exemption from the MSHCP "Plan Wide Requirements" prior to making findings that the
project is indeed exempt.
SECTION 2. That in accordance with the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code and the
MSHCP, the Planning Commission makes the following findings:
1. The Project is a project under the City's MSHCP Resolution, and the City must
make an MSHCP Consistency finding before approval.
The Subdivision is exempt from the City's MSHCP Resolution. On July 9, 1990,
the City and Pardee - Grossman /Cottonwood Canyon entered into that certain
development agreement (the "Development Agreement'), which expressly
exempted the Developer from responsibility for any new development impact
fees. The Development Agreement was amended by Amendment No. 1 dated
PC February 15, 2011 Item No. 2
Page 5 of 24
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2011 -
PAGE 2 OF 4
January 12, 2010, approved by Ordinance No. 1270 which extends the project's
exemption from MSHCP requirements.
Even though the Subdivision is exempt from the MSHCP, the Developer must
comply with other state and federal laws. Consistent with federal law, the
applicant had prepared a project- specific Habitat Conservation Plan and has a
history of extensive coordination with the wildlife agencies. Where approved for
development, the project site has already been graded, cleared, or developed in
accordance with the Project HCP. Given the foregoing, no further action
regarding the MSCHP is required.
2. The proposed project is subject to the City's LEAP and the County's Joint Project
Review processes.
See Response #1 above.
3. The proposed project is consistent with the Riparian /Riverine Areas and Vernal
Pools Guidelines.
See Response #1 above.
4. The proposed project is consistent with the Protection of Narrow Endemic Plant
Species Guidelines.
See Response #1 above.
5. The proposed project is consistent with the Urban/Wildlands Interface
Guidelines.
See Response #1 above.
6. The proposed project is consistent with the Vegetation Mapping requirements.
See Response #1 above.
7. The proposed project is consistent with the Additional Survey Needs and
Procedures.
See Response #1 above.
8. The proposed project is consistent with the Fuels Management Guidelines.
See Response #1 above.
9. The proposed project will be conditioned to pay the City's MSHCP Local
Development Mitigation Fee.
Developer is exempt from payment of the City's MSHCP Local Development
Mitigation Fee by virtue of the Development Agreement.
10. The proposed project is consistent with the MSHCP.
See Response #1 above.

1. Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major
revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified significant effects;
2. Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which
the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or
negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or
a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or

could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the

would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects
of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or
alternative; or

those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant
effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation
measure or alternative. "; and

Tract Map No. 36117 is consistent with the MF2 designation and applicable
development and design standards.
3. The effects this Subdivision is likely to have upon the housing needs of the region,
the public service requirements of its residents, and the available fiscal and
environmental resources have been considered and balanced.
The Subdivision is consistent with the City's General Plan, Zoning Code, and the
