SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 2013 -02, AMENDMENT NO. 10 TO
THE EAST LAKE SPECIFIC PLAN
WHEREAS, Brian Milich, McMillin Communities, has filed an application with the
City of Lake Elsinore requesting approval of Specific Plan Amendment No. 2013 -02,
Amendment No. 10 to the East Lake Specific Plan (the "Project "); and
WHEREAS, the project site is generally located southwest of the Links at

approval of specific plans and any amendments thereto; and
WHEREAS, public notice of the Project has been given, and the Planning
Commission has considered evidence presented by the Community Development
Department and other interested parties at a public hearing held with respect to this
item on July 16, 2013.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LAKE
ELSINORE DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Prior to making a recommendation to the City Council, the Planning
Commission has reviewed and analyzed Specific Plan Amendment No. 2013 -02,
Amendment No. 10 to the East Lake Specific Plan pursuant to the Planning and Zoning
Laws (Cal. Gov. Code §§ 65000 et seq.) and Chapter 17.204 of the Lake Elsinore
Municipal Code ( "LEMC ").
SECTION 2. That in accordance with State Planning and Zoning Laws and the
Lake Elsinore Municipal Code, the Planning Commission makes the following findings
for the approval of Specific Plan Amendment No. 2013 -02, Amendment No. 10 to the
East Lake Specific Plan:
1. The location and design of the proposed development shall be consistent
with the goals and policies of the City's General Plan and with any other
applicable plan or policies adopted by the City.
Specific Plan No. 2013 -02, Amendment No. 10 to the East Lake Specific
Plan meets the City's Specific Plan criteria for content and required
implementation of the General Plan established by Section 65450 et seg.
of the California Government Code and Section 17.204 of the City of Lake
Elsinore Municipal Code. Accordingly, the proposed Specific Plan
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2013 -66
PAGE 2OF5
Amendment complies with the objectives of the General Plan and the
purpose of the planning district in which the site is located.
2. The proposed location shall allow the development to be well- integrated
with or adequately buffered from its surroundings, whichever may be the
case.
The Project is appropriate to the site and surrounding developments in
that implementation of the Project will result in an improved design that
consolidates the recreation facility location with an area that was already
intended to be developed as a central neighborhood park for open space
use. The relocation of the recreation facility onto PA 42 will centralize and
thereby improve the location of multiple recreational amenities for future
residents. In addition, the amendment also proposes to allow the Design
Review Process to be considered and action be taken by the City
Planning Commission, with an available appeal process to the City
Council.
3. All vehicular traffic generated by the development, either in phased
increments or at full build -out, is to be accommodated safely and without
causing undue congestion upon adjoining streets.
The width and type of pavement needed to carry the type and quantity of
traffic generated that will result from implementation of Specific Plan
Amendment No. 2013 -02, Amendment No. 10 to the East Lake Specific
Plan has been reviewed and accounted for. The City has conditioned the
Project to be served by roads of adequate capacity and design standards
to provide reasonable access by car, truck, transit, and bicycle.
4. The Specific Plan Amendment shall identify a methodology(s) to allow
land uses to be adequately serviced by existing or proposed public
facilities and services. In appropriate circumstances, and as provided
elsewhere by the Municipal Code, the City may require that suitable areas
be reserved for schools, parks and pedestrian ways; or public open
spaces shall be dedicated or reserved by private covenant for the
common use of residents, establishments or operations in the
development.
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2013-66
PAGE 3OF5
Specific Plan No. 2013 -02, Amendment No. 10 to the East Lake Specific
Plan identifies methodologies to allow land uses to be adequately serviced
by existing or proposed public facilities and services. Amendment No. 10
to the East Lake Specific Plan identifies necessary streets and circulation
to support the proposed land use allocations, as well as all necessary wet
and dry utilities for proper and adequate infrastructure services. In
addition, the amendment will result in an improved design that
consolidates the recreation facility location with an area that was already
intended to be developed as a central neighborhood park for open space
use. The relocation of the recreation facility onto PA 42 will centralize and
thereby improve the location of multiple recreational amenities for future
residents.
5. The overall design of Specific Plan Amendment No. 2013 -02, Amendment
No. 10 to the East Lake Specific Plan will produce an attractive, efficient
and stable development.
Specific Plan Amendment No. 2013 -02, Amendment No. 10 to the East
Lake Specific Plan has been designed in consideration of the size and
shape of the property, thereby, strengthening and enhancing the
immediate areas. The Project will complement the quality of neighboring
existing and future uses by creating visually- pleasing development.
Specific Plan Amendment No. 2013 -02, Amendment No. 10 to the East
Lake Specific Plan will not be detrimental to the health, safety, comfort or
general welfare of the persons residing or working near the Project or
within the City, nor will it be injurious to property or improvements in the
project area or within the City. In addition, staff has substantiated that all
applicable City Departments and Agencies have been afforded the
opportunity for a thorough review of the Specific Plan Amendment No. 10
and have incorporated all applicable comments and /or conditions related
to installation and maintenance of landscaping, street dedications,
regulations of points of vehicular ingress and egress and control of
potential nuisances, so as to eliminate any negative impacts to the general
health, safety, comfort, or general welfare of the surrounding
neighborhood or the City.
6. In accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA), impacts have been reduced to a less than significant
level, or in the case where impacts remain, a statement of overriding
considerations must be adopted to justify the merits of project
implementation.
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2013-66

Environmental clearance and analysis for the proposed application is
provided by a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) which
was approved and adopted in 2004 for the East Lake Specific Plan
Amendment No. 6 (SCH No. 2003071050). The SEIR evaluated
environmental impacts that would result from maximum build -out of the
Specific Plan. The Project does not present changes or new information
regarding the potential environmental impacts of development. No further
environmental clearance is necessary.
SECTION 3. Based upon all of the evidence presented, the above findings, and
the conditions of approval imposed upon the Project, the Planning Commission hereby
recommends approval of Specific Plan Amendment No. 2013 -02, Amendment No. 10 to
the East Lake Specific Plan.
