SECTION 1. The Planning Commission has considered the capital improvement
projects and has determined that the Capital Improvement Program conforms to the Lake
Elsinore General Plan based upon the following findings:
1. The Capital Improvement Program is consistent with the policies and restrictions
of the City's Parks and Recreation Department and is consistent with the General

community through the creation and preservation of new parkland in accordance
with the Parks and Recreation Department policies set forth in the General Plan.
In addition, the Capital Improvement Program facilitates upgrades and
improvements to existing parks and related amenities throughout the City.
3. One of the stated purposes of the Land Use Element is to "enhance the quality of
life for the residents of Lake Elsinore ". The element encourages future
urbanization while preserving the environmental characteristics of the City. The
proposed capital improvement projects integrate and reflect these objectives as
demonstrated by the Palm Street Preservation Project, the preservation of existing
historic street lights and incorporating them into the streetscape, and fire station
and community center construction. The implementation of these facilities adds to
the enhancement of the community.
4. The proposed roadway improvements are consistent with the Circulation Element
because they contribute to a balanced circulation system that supports the travel
demands of the land uses by increasing circulation capacity, streamlining the flow
of traffic through signalization, and improving travel quality through the installation
of asphalt overlay.
SECTION 2. This Resolution shall take effect from and after the date of its
passage and adoption.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 4th day of June 2013.
