NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE,

SECTION 1. The City Council has reviewed and analyzed the proposed zone

Page 3 of 9
ORDINANCE NO. 2012 -1308
PAGE 2 of 7
et seq.), the Lake Elsinore General Plan and the Lake.Elsinore Municipal Code and
finds and determines that the proposed zone changes are consistent with the
requirements of California Planning and Zoning Law and with the goals and policies of
the Lake Elsinore General Plan.
SECTION 2. Pursuant to Section 21080 (c) (2) of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), the City Council determines that the Recirculated Program
Environmental Impact Report certified for the update to the General. Plan is adequate
and prepared in accordance with the requirements of CEQA which analyzes
environmental effects of the Project. Because Zone Change No. 2012 -03 implements
the General Plan update with the appropriate zoning districts for development within the
mixed -use and high density residential designations, no additional environmental review
is required.
SECTION 3. That in accordance with the State Planning and Zoning Law, the
City Council hereby makes the following findings for the approval of Zone Change No.
2012 -03:
1. The proposed zone changes will not be a) detrimental to the health, safety,
comfort or general welfare of the persons residing or working within the
neighborhood of the proposed zone changes or within the City, or b) injurious to
the property or improvements in the neighborhood or within the City.
a. The proposed zone change implements the adopted General Plan
Update of December 13, 2011, which was analyzed relative to its
potential to have detrimental effects.
b. The proposed zone change will eliminate inconsistencies with the
adopted General Plan Update.
C. The proposed zone change will be beneficial to the public health,
safety, comfort and welfare and will improve the property in the
neighborhood and the City by allowing a variety of residential and
commercial uses to be established in mixed use districts within the
City.
2. The proposed zone changes will permit reasonable development of the area
consistent with its constraints and will make the area more compatible with
adjacent properties.
a. The proposed zone change enables the implementation of the CMU —
Commercial Mixed Use and RMU — Residential Mixed Use Ordinances
adopted on April 10, 2012. These Ordinances
provide a Table of Uses that are permitted, permitted by conditional
use permit, permitted by temporary use permit, or prohibited, thereby
enabling a property owner to determine the highest and best use of his
land if it is designated for residential mixed use or commercial mixed
use.
Page 4 of 9
ORDINANCE NO. 2012 -1308
PAGE 3 of 7
b. The proposed zone change enables implementation of the mixed use
ordinances which provide detailed development standards where
necessary to ensure that uses are compatible with adjacent properties
and recognize its constraints in a mixed use environment.
C. The proposed zone change enables implementation of the
R -3 High Density Residential Ordinance which provides detailed
development standards for multiple- family residential projects at
densities up to 24 dwelling units per acre, and also provides a density
bonus to encourage consolidation of lots of an infill nature.
3. The proposed zone changes would implement a land use density, intensity and
usage more in character with the subject property's location, access, and
constraints consistent with the adopted General Plan Update and subsequent
text amendments to the zoning code.
By implementing the CMU Commercial Mixed Use and RMU
Residential Mixed Use Ordinance adopted on April 10, 2012, the
proposed zone change provides the City and property owners detailed
development standards where necessary to ensure that uses are
compatible with adjacent properties and recognize its constraints in a
mixed use or high density residential environment.
4. The proposed zone changes implement goals to encourage pedestrian - friendly
urban centers by allowing a greater number of potential dwelling units that may
be developed on the sites.
a. The mixed use designations were adopted specifically to encourage a
combination of residential units within commercial projects, that are
vibrant, pedestrian- friendly, urban centers. Density bonuses are
available to increase the number of potential dwelling units on sites
designated for residential mixed use.
5. The proposed zone changes will not have a significant effect on the
environment.
a. The potential impacts of the General Plan update have been analyzed
in the Recirculated Environmental Impact Report (SCH #2005121019)
prepared for the General Plan ( "General Plan EIR') and its related
cases, and adequate mitigation measures have been prepared where
necessary. Accordingly, the impacts of the proposed zone change
have been disclosed, analyzed and mitigated to the extent feasible in
the General Plan EIR. A copy of the General Plan EIR is available for
inspection in the City of Lake Elsinore Community Development
Department, 130 S. Main Street, Lake Elsinore, CA.
