Analysis
Staff finds that the proposed project meets the quality and attractiveness of the original
project, which was presented to and approved by the Planning Commission. The City of
Lake Elsinore Municipal Code refers to designs that create interest, provide varying
vistas, and demonstrate quality and originality (LEMC Section 17.184.060). Staff feels
that the applicant has proposed a product consistent with the original project without the

loss of quality to the overall project design and amenities. Therefore, staff is in support
of the proposed project.
Environmental Determination
Environmental clearance and analysis for the proposed application is provided by
Addendum No. 2 to the Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR, which was prepared for
Vesting Tract Map No. 28214. Said environmental document was prepared in
accordance with Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines and was approved by the City
Council in late 2004. The proposed project is consistent with the Alberhill Ranch
Specific Plan and VTTM No. 28214 and therefore, does not conflict with the findings
and discussions contained in the Addendum No. 2 document. The Addendum No. 2
EIR concluded that significant environmental impacts will not result with implementation
of those mitigation measures contained in the original 1989 Final Alberhill Ranch
Specific Plan EIR and the 2003 Addendum No. 2 EIR. Further environmental clearance
is unnecessary pursuant to Section 15162 (Subsequent EIR's, and Negative
Declarations).
It should also be noted that the project is exempt from the Multiple Species Habitat
Conservation Plan (MSHCP). No further action is required

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LAKE
ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING RESIDENTIAL DESIGN REVIEW NO.
2013 -01 WITHIN TRACT MAP NO. 28214 -3 AND 28214 -5
WHEREAS, Ryland Homes, Inc. has filed an application with the City of Lake
Elsinore requesting Design Review approval of production units throughout 48 lots
within Tract Map Nos. 28214 -3 and 28214 -5 ( "Project'). The proposed residential lots
are located on the north side of Alberhill Ranch Road between Lake Street and Nichols
Road, within the Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan area ( "Project Site "); and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Lake Elsinore has been
delegated with the responsibility of approving Design Review requests for residential
projects within the Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res.
Code §§ 21000 et seq.: "CEQA") and the CEQA Guidelines (14 C.C.R. §§ 15000 et
seq.), public agencies are expressly encouraged to reduce delay and paperwork
associated with the implementation of CEQA by using previously prepared
environmental documents when those previously prepared documents adequately
address the potential impacts of the proposed project (CEQA Guidelines Section
15006); and
WHEREAS, CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 establishes the standard to be
used when determining whether subsequent environmental documentation is necessary
and says that when an environmental document has already been adopted for a project,
no subsequent environmental documentation is needed for subsequent entitlements
which comprise the whole of the action unless substantial changes or new information
are presented by the project; and
WHEREAS, the 1989 Final Environmental Impact Report for the Alberhill Ranch
Specific Plan (SCH #88090517: the "FEIR ") and the 2003 Addendum to FEIR,
collectively, evaluated environmental impacts that would result from maximum build -out
of the specific plan; and
WHEREAS, the Project does not present substantial changes or new information
regarding the potential environmental impacts of development; and
WHEREAS, public notice of the Project has been given, and the Planning
Commission has considered evidence presented by the Community Development

PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2013- _
PAGE 2OF4
SECTION 1. The Planning Commission has considered the proposed design for
the 48 residential homes and has found it acceptable. The Planning Commission finds
and determines that the Project design is consistent with the Alberhill Ranch Specific
Plan.
SECTION 2. The Planning Commission finds and determines that the Design
Review application does not present any new information, circumstances, or changes to
the project that was analyzed under the FEIR and the 2003 Addendum to the FEIR.
The Design Review does not change density or intensities of use. It simply establishes
standards for color palates, articulation, orientation, and design. Therefore, further
environmental review for the Project is not required.
SECTION 3. In accordance with Lake Elsinore Municipal Code Chapter 17.184,
the Planning Commission makes the following findings for the approval of Residential
Design Review No. 2013 -01:
1. The project complies with the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the General Plan
and the Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan, as approved.
The General Plan designates the project site as `Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan." The
Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan designates the project site as "Single- Family
Residential." The proposed production units within Vesting Tract Map No. 28214, will
collectively lead to the construction of a single- family residential development that is
consistent with the Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan.
2. This project complies with the design directives contained in Chapter 17.184.060
and all other applicable provisions of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code.
The Project is appropriate to the site and surrounding developments in that it will
result in the construction of single- family detached units in accordance with
appropriate development and design standards contained in the Alberhill Ranch
Specific Plan. The Project creates interest and varying vistas as a person moves
along any street within the subdivision. The Project also complements the quality of
existing neighboring development and will continue to provide visually - pleasing
design and architecture within the project area.
3. Conditions and safeguards pursuant to Chapter 17.184.070, 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
General Plan, Municipal Code, and Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan.
The Planning Commission has considered the project and finds that with the
attached conditions of approval, the Project complies with the purposes and
