historic downtown Lake Elsinore. Materials and colors are proposed including
architectural accents and colors that blend with surrounding developments and
provide evidence of a concern for quality and originality.
3. Subject to the attached conditions of approval, the Project is not anticipated to
result in any significant adverse environmental impacts.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Project is exempt from CEQA provisions
pursuant to a Class 32 exemption, the Project was reviewed and conditioned by
all applicable City departments to ensure that the project blends into existing
development, creates the least amount of disturbance, and does not negatively
impact the residents or businesses of Lake Elsinore. The Project will not have a
significant effect on the environment.
4. Conditions and safeguards pursuant to Chapter 17.184.070 of the Municipal
Code, including guarantees and evidence of compliance with conditions, have
