SUBJECT: REVISION TO TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 34442 — A
REQUEST BY PARDEE HOMES FOR APPROVAL OF THE
SUBDIVISION OF APPROXIMATELY 8.83 ACRES OF LAND INTO
FOUR LOTS FOR A DETACHED SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL
CONDOMINIUM PROJECT, INCLUDING A MODEL HOME
COMPLEX AND RELATED IMPROVEMENTS, LOCATED WITHIN
PLANNING AREA 36 OF CANYON HILLS SPECIFIC PLAN
Background
In March and April, 2007, the Planning Commission and City Council approved the
original Residential Design Review No. 2005 -28 (Parkside Terrace) for the design and
construction of 46 residential condominium buildings, which included 227 for sale
condominium units and related improvements. The Living Smart product has been
successful in the Canyon Hills area, and the applicant is now proposing to modify and
construct detached Living Smart condominiums on the site. On February 21, 2012, the
Planning Commission approved Residential Design Review No. 2012 -01 and
Conditional Use Permit No. 2012 -02, and recommended approval of a Revision to
Tentative Parcel Map No. 34442 to the City Council for design and construction of 73
single family detached residential condominium units, including a model home complex
and related improvements for a housing project located within Planning Area 36 of the
Canyon Hills Specific Plan.
The applicant requests approval of a revision to the originally approved condominium
map (Tentative Parcel Map No. 34442) to accommodate the new condominium
community. The condominium concept will offer individual dwelling units for sale as
defined by Tentative Parcel Map, while sharing common interest, ownership and
maintenance responsibilities within the common areas. These common areas include
open lawn play area; common walls and fences; aisle -ways; pavement; landscaped
areas; and onsite underground and aboveground utility infrastructure improvements

necessary to service and support the condominium community. The air space for the
common areas and the residential condominiums will also be established with the
Tentative Parcel Map.
Discussion
The project was presented to the Planning Commission on February 21, 2012, for
review and consideration. Items for discussion at this meeting included plotting, design,
construction, phasing and building architecture. The Planning Commission expressed
satisfaction with the proposed project and voted to recommend the City Council approve
the revision to Tentative Parcel Map No. 34442.
Fiscal Impact
Ultimately, the proposed project will have a positive fiscal impact to the community and
the City. It is estimated that the future residents residing within the project area will
generate sales tax revenues for the City of Lake Elsinore. In addition to the sales tax
revenue that will be generated, it is anticipated that the development of the project will
provide necessary construction jobs.
Recommendation
1. Adopt Resolution No. 201approving the revision of Tentative Parcel Map No.
34442 based on the Findings, Exhibits, and proposed Conditions of Approval.

FEBRUARY 21, 2012
ANALYSIS
Staff supports the requested applications for the following reasons:
Tentative Parcel Map No. 34442
City Planning and Engineering staffs have reviewed the proposed tentative parcel map
and have no concerns, if required conditions of approval are satisfied. The proposed
revision to the tentative parcel map is consistent with development standards contained
in the Specific Plan Amendment No. 2 document in terms of lot size, street widths, and
other Planning and Engineering standards and requirements. The Tentative Parcel
Map area is located within a portion of Planning Area 36, which has an underlying
zoning of MF2. The MF2 designation permits a detached residential product. The
proposed project is consistent with the MF2 designation. Revision to Tentative Parcel
Map No. 34442 is required to establish the Living Smart Condominium Community
within Planning Area No. 36. The tentative parcel map is consistent with Sections 66424
and 66427 of the California Subdivision Map Act, and Section 16 "Subdivisions" and
Chapter 17.88 (Condominiums and Condominium Conversions) of the Lake Elsinore
Municipal Code.
Conditional Use Permit No. 2012 -02
City Planning and Engineering staffs have reviewed the Conditional Use Permit request
and have no concerns. Conditional Use Permit approval is required to allow for the 73
individually -owned detached condominium units to be constructed within the project
site. Chapter 17.88 (Condominiums and Condominium Conversions) of the LEMC
states that:
Considering the potential ramification to the general health, safety, comfort, or general
welfare of the community, Staff has paid extra attention to specific details related to
development of the proposed condominium project, including site planning, local street
circulation, internal vehicular and pedestrian circulation, landscape buffering,
architectural compatibility, and other related development and design issues. Staff
believes the project is well- designed and addresses those design and development
issues which support approval of the requested Conditional Use Permit.
Residential Desiqn Review No. 2012 -01
City Planning and Engineering Staff have reviewed the requested Design Review
application and have no concerns. Staff believes that those design amenities and
features associated with the project's siting; circulation and parking layout; walls and
fences; and architecture have resulted in a well- designed condominium community.
Staff believes that the project is compatible with the overall Canyon Hills Specific Plan
area and those existing and future developments that neighbor the project site.

FEBRUARY 21, 2019
Environmental Determination
Environmental analysis and clearance for the proposed Design Review application is
provided by the 2003 Addendum to the 1989 Final Canyon Hills Specific Plan
Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The 2003 Addendum to the EIR (Addendum) was
prepared in accordance with Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines and was approved
by the City Council in late 2003. The proposed project is consistent with the Canyon
Hills Specific Plan Amendment No. 2 and therefore, will not conflict with the analysis
and findings of the 2003 Addendum. The 2003 Addendum concluded that all impacts
would be less than significant with implementation of those mitigation measures
contained in the original 1989 Final Canyon Hills Specific Plan EIR and carried forward
to the 2003 Addendum. It should also be noted that the project is exempt from the
Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP). Further environmental action is
not required pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 2012 -_ making
findings that the project is exempt from the MSHCP, Resolution No. 2012 -_ approving
Conditional Use Permit No. 2012 -02, Resolution No. 2012 -_ approving Residential
Design Review No. 2012 -01, and Resolution No. 2012 -_ recommending that the City
Council approve the revision to Tentative Parcel Map No. 34442, for the Living Smart
Condominium Community based on the Findings, Exhibits and Conditions of Approval
attached to this Staff Report.
