developer stated that the intention of the meeting was to get the community involved
early, understand the adjacent property owner issues and address those concerns
where possible within the project design. The developer has indicated that the
homeowners that attended the meeting were very pleased with the project and were
looking forward to the build out of the community. There are no outstanding issues to
report.
Analysis
Staff finds that the proposed project meets the minimum quality and attractiveness of
the original project, which was presented to and approved by the Planning Commission
and City Council. The City of Lake Elsinore Municipal Code refers to designs that create
interest, provide varying vistas, and demonstrate quality and originality (Section
17.184.060). Staff feels that the applicant has proposed an acceptable new project
without the loss of quality to the overall project design and amenities. Therefore, staff is
in support of the proposed project.
Environmental Determination
Residential Design Review 2013 -02 does not propose substantial changes to the tract
maps for which Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SCH 88090525), the
Addendum thereto, and several mitigated negative declarations were prepared, certified
and adopted. No new significant environmental effects or an increase in the severity of
previously identified significant effects are anticipated. No substantial changes have
occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken that
would require major revisions to the environmental documents. No new information of
substantial importance has come forward with respect to significant effects or alternative
mitigation measures that have not been addressed in the design of this project. The
applicant is conditioned to comply with mitigation measures adopted previously for the
tracts within which the products are proposed.
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission determine that Residential Design
Review 2013 -02 is consistent with and implements previously adopted environmental
documents for the underlying tracts. Therefore, in accordance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and pursuant to Section 15162 (Subsequent EIRs
and Negative Declarations) of said Act, Staff recommends that the Planning
Commission determines that no further environmental documentation for Residential
Design Review 2013 -02 is necessary.
It should also be noted that the Ramsgate Specific Plan for which the project is located
has satisfied all requirements relating to the Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan
(MSHCP). No further action is required.
