Background The City of Lake Elsinore adopted an update to its General Plan on December 13, 2011. On September 25, 2012, the City Council approved Phase I of the Consistency Zoning Project. Project Descriation The City now proposes to undertake Phase II of the Consistency Zoning Project, bringing the Official Zoning Map of the City into conformance with the adopted General Plan for the Business District (BD). The BD was selected for Phase II because it contains the largest concentration of industrial and commercial uses within the City. Most recent development inquiries have involved properties in this District, and the Chamber of Commerce requests that the City promote the use of the Brine Line that traverses this District. Discussion & Analysis Notification and Community Meeting On February 1, 2013, Staff mailed 214 notifications to the property owners of the 432 parcels proposed for this zone change. There were several duplicative owners, particularly the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District, the Elsinore Valley Cemetery District, Riverside County and the City. The notification invited property owners to attend a Community Meeting on February 20, 2013 at the Senior Center, to meet Staff and hear about the Consistency Zoning Project, to obtain detailed information on the various zones proposed, and to voice their concerns and ask questions. The notification /invitation letter is Attachment 5 to this Staff Report. Subsequent to the mailing, Staff received approximately 15 -20 phone and e-mail inquiries and front counter visits, and 25 -30 people attended the Community Meeting. Existing Industrial Buildings Staff spoke with Michael Cargile at the Community Meeting, who indicated that he did not want the existing M -1 (Limited Manufacturing) zone changed on his already constructed and occupied building on Crane Street. He and his neighbor Said Cohen subsequently sent written requests, which are attached to this Staff Report as Attachment 6. Staff desires to honor these requests, and recommends that the Compatibility Matrix provide a wider range of options in the Business Park designation by adding the M -1 zone as compatible. With this addition, Mr. Cargile and Mr. Cohen will retain the existing M -1 zoning on their properties. PC March 19, 2013 Item No. 1 Page 2 of 44 Consistency Zoning, Phase II: GPA 2013 -01, ZCA 2013 -03, AC 2013 -01 March 19, 2013 Page 3 of 5 In a similar instance, Staff is recommending that the M -1 zoning on the west side of Flint Street be restored because there are existing industries on these properties. Returning these properties to a Limited Industrial designation on the General Plan Land Use Map is part of the "cleanup" GPA in Phase II. Its current GP designation is High Density Residential, as are the properties west and south. See Attachment 2, Existing Industrial Exhibit 'C.' In both instances Staff believes that existing viable industry should be recognized and supported as the highest and best use of property in the Business District. While the existing businesses could have continued to operate as a non - conforming use if given another zone, the businesses would not been allowed to expand. Request for Zoning based on Future Realignment of Nichols Road Staff spoke with Mr. George Koliber by phone and e-mail regarding his properties at the southwest corner of Nichols Road and Collier. He referred to the realignment of Nichols Road proposed by Castle and Cooke for their Alberhill project on the north side of Pierce, which would bisect his property. He requests that the portion of his property that would result on the north side of Nichols and Pierce be zoned commercial. Staff has determined that the proposed design for the realignment is premature at this time, and may not reflect the ultimate alignment of Baker, Pierce, Nichols and Collier roadways in this area. Until such time as the alignments of these streets come to fruition, the unknown scope, size, and adjacent uses precludes Staff from recommending a zone change that split -zones Koliber's parcel. At a future time if a realignment actually bisects this property, the City could entertain a change to the Commercial Manufacturing. Redistricting Phase II covers three "cleanup" changes to the boundaries of General Plan districts: 1) The properties recently added to the City's boundaries as a result of the successful completion of Annexation No. 81 (Third Street Annexation), are proposed to be removed from the North Central Sphere District. Residential properties are proposed to be added to the Lake Elsinore Hills District adjacent to the east. 2) Non - residential properties within the Annexation No. 81 area, both commercial and industrial, are proposed to be added to the Business District to the west. 3) At the Council's direction in December 2011 during the adoption of the General Plan Update, the commercial area on the west side of Lake Street, between Running Deer and Mountain, is proposed to be removed from the Lake View District, and added to the Alberhill District. These measures are shown on Attachment 2 (the colored 11 X 17 maps distributed under separate cover), Annexation 81 Redistricting Exhibit 'D' and Alberhill Commercial Exhibit'E.' The changes to the General Plan Pages NCS -5, BD -6, LEH -8, AH -6 and LV- PC March 19, 2013 Item No. 1 Page 3 of 44 Consistency Zoning, Phase II: GPA 2013 -01, ZCA 2013 -03, AC 2013 -01 March 19, 2013 Page 4 of 5 6, which summarize land uses and distribution in table format are shown on Attachment 1, Exhibit'B.' P -1 Public /Institutional Zoning Phase II includes the creation of a new zone, the P -1 Public /Institutional Zone, which is proposed for properties owned by the City, County, or public agencies such as the school and water districts. Such properties are generally not subject to the development standards of the LEMC. The Draft Resolution for ZCA No. 2013 -03 and its attached Exhibit 'A' describing the P -1 zone is attached to this Staff Report in Attachment 2. Phase II proposes to "cleanup" the land use designations at the Elsinore Valley Cemetery, changing the designation of non - cemetery properties from Public /Institutional to Limited Industrial, as shown on Attachment 4, Existing Industrial Exhibit'C.' General Plan Amendment — Compatibility Matrix Phase II includes the following changes to the General Plan Compatibility Matrix (Appendix B), as shown on Attachment 1, Exhibit'A': 1) In the Lakeside designation, removing the R -1 Single Family Residential Zone and adding the L Lakeshore Zone. 2) Adding the Floodway designation to the matrix, and signifying the OS Open Space Zone as compatible. 3) Adding the P -1 Public /Institutional Zone to the matrix, and signifying that it is a compatible zone in every General Plan designation. 4) Adding M -1 Limited Manufacturing as a compatible zone in Business Park designation. See Staffs discussion above under "Existing Industrial Buildings." Zone Change No. 2013 -01 The proposed zone changes to make zoning compatible with the General Plan designations in the Business District are shown in three exhibits, Areas 1, 2 and 3. These exhibits indicate existing zoning, the General Plan designation, and proposed zone change only. To view the entire Business District proposed zones, please see Zoning Consistency Business District. All exhibits are part of Attachment 4 Color 11 X 17 Exhibits. Environmental Determination The City certified a Recirculated Program Environmental Impact Report (RP -EIR) for the update to its General Plan. The proposed General Plan Amendment No. 2013 -01, Zone Code Amendment No. 2013 -03, and Zone Change No. 2013 -01 to the City's Official Zoning Map implements the General Plan update, applying appropriate zoning districts compatible with their land use designations. No additional environmental review is required.

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 commercial and industrial uses to be established in the Business District 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.
