and
WHEREAS, the Project Site encompasses a portion of the 18.3 acre site and is
located on the north side of Canyon Hills Road, west of Hillside Drive (the "Project
Site'); and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Lake Elsinore has been

Conditional Use Permit 2012-02
1. The proposed use, on its own merits and within the context of its setting, is in accord
with the objectives of the General Plan and the purpose of the planning district in
which the site is located.
The Living Smart Condominium Community will be developed at a density of 9
dwelling units per acre which is consistent with the Canyon Hills Specific Plan
Amendment No. 2 designation of MF2, which accommodates residential
development of up to 15 dwelling units per acre. The Project is consistent with the

requirements contained in the General Plan, Canyon Hills Specific Plan Amendment
No. 2, and Lake Elsinore Municipal Code.

2. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the general health, safety, comfort, or
welfare of persons residing or working within the neighborhood of the proposed use
or the City, or injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood or the City.
The Project will not be detrimental to the health, safety, comfort or general welfare of
the persons residing or working near it. The Project will not be injurious to property
or improvements in the project area or within the City. All applicable City
Departments and Agencies have been afforded the opportunity for a thorough
review of the Project and have incorporated all applicable comments and/or
conditions related to installation and maintenance of landscaping, street dedications,
regulations of points of vehicular ingress and egress, and control of potential
nuisances, so as to eliminate any negative impacts to the general health, safety,
comfort, or welfare of the surrounding neighborhood or the City.
3. The site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the
use, and for all the yards, setbacks, walls or fences, landscaping, buffers and other
features required.
The Project has been designed in consideration of the size and shape of the
property, thereby, strengthening and enhancing the immediate areas. The Project
will complement the quality of neighboring existing and future uses by creating
visually-pleasing development. Staff has substantiated that all applicable City
Departments and Agencies have been afforded the opportunity for a thorough
review of the Specific Plan Amendment No. 2 and have incorporated all applicable
comments and/or conditions related to installation and maintenance of landscaping,
street dedications, regulations of points of vehicular ingress and egress, and control
of potential nuisances, so as to eliminate any negative impacts to the general health,
safety, comfort, or general welfare of the surrounding neighborhood or the City.
4. The site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways with proper design
both as to width and type of pavement to carry the type and quantity of traffic
generated by the subject use.
The Home Owners Association (HOA) will be responsible for maintenance of the
roadways. Surrounding roadways to the Project have been constructed with the
overall Canyon Hills Specific Plan and have sufficient capacity to service the Project.
The project complies with the design directives contained in Section 17.184.060 and
all other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code.
The Project is appropriate to the site and surrounding developments in that the
condominium units and buildings and recreational center have been designed with
architectural and design features, treatments, and articulation which blend into the
landscape and topography of the area. Further, the Project will create a visually-

pleasing community that will not detract from existing and future development in the
area in terms of architectural design, color and materials.
6. Subject to the attached conditions of approval, the proposed project is not
anticipated to result in any significant adverse environmental impacts.
The Project has been reviewed and conditioned by all applicable City departments.
Those conditions of approval ensure that the Project will not result in any significant
adverse environmental impacts.
7. Conditions and safeguards pursuant to Chapters 17.168.050 have been
incorporated into the approval of the Conditional Use Permit to ensure that the use
continues in a manner envisioned by these findings for the term of the use.
After extensive review of the Project it was determined that the conditions of
approval imposed upon the Project ensure that adjoining properties and residents
will not be negatively impacted by the Project.
SECTION 3. Based upon all of the evidence considered, the above findings, and
the conditions of approval imposed upon the Project, the Planning Commission hereby
approves Conditional Use Permit 2012-02
SECTION 4. This Resolution shall take effect from and after the date of its
passage and adoption.
