WHEREAS, on January 8, 2013 at a duly noticed public hearing, the City Council
has considered the recommendation of the Planning Commission as well as evidence
presented by the Community Development Department and other interested parties with
respect to this item.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE,
CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council has considered the proposed request for
Residential Design Review No. 2012 -03 for the construction of a 74 single - family
detached residential development including a model home complex and associated
improvements.
SECTION 2. The City Council finds and determines that no new CEQA
documentation is necessary. The Project comprises the whole of the action which was
analyzed in the previously approved and certified Supplemental Environmental Impact
Report (SCH # 2003071050) for the East Lake Specific Plan Amendment No. 6.
Approval of the Project will not change density or intensity of use; it simply establishes
standards for color palates, articulation, orientation, and design of single family
residential development. Therefore, no further environmental review is necessary.
SECTION 3. That in accordance with State Planning and Zoning Law and the
Lake Elsinore Municipal Code ( "LEMC "), the City Council makes the following findings
regarding Residential Design Review No. 2012 -03:
1. The single family detached residential development, as approved, will comply
with the goals and objectives of the General Plan, Specific Plan and the Zoning
District in which it is located.
The single family detached residential development complies with the goals and
objectives of the General Plan and the East Lake Specific Plan Amendment No.
6. The single family homes will assist in achieving the development of a well -
balanced and functional mix of residential, commercial, industrial, open space,
recreational and institutional land uses.
2. The single family detached residential development complies with the design
directives contained in the East Lake Specific Plan Amendment No. 6 and all
applicable provisions of the LEMC.
The single family detached residential development is appropriate to the site and
surrounding developments. The three (3) proposed architectural styles will
create a distinctive street scene within the project site. Sufficient setbacks and
onsite landscaping have been provided thereby creating interest and varying
vistas. In addition, safe and efficient circulation has been achieved onsite.

3. Subject to the attached conditions of approval, the single family detached
residential development is not anticipated to result in any significant adverse
environmental impacts.
The single family detached residential development, as reviewed and conditioned
by all applicable City divisions, departments and agencies, will not have a
significant effect on the environment. Approval of the design for the single family
detached residential development will not result in a substantial change to the
previously adopted Supplemental Environmental Impact Report. Therefore, no
additional environmental review is necessary.
4. Conditions and safeguards pursuant to Chapter 17.184 of the Zoning Code,
including guarantees and evidence of compliance with conditions, have been
incorporated into the approval of the Project to ensure development of the
property in accordance with the objectives of Chapter 17.184.
