Background
The City of Lake Elsinore adopted an update to its General Plan on December 13,
2011. On September 25, 2012, the City Council approved Phase I of the Consistency
Zoning Project, for all Commercial and Residential Mixed Use parcels, and all High
Density Residential parcels in the City. On April 23, 2013, the City Council approved
Phase II of the Consistency Zoning Project for the Business District.
Proiect Description
The City now proposes to undertake Phase III of the Consistency Zoning Project,
bringing the Official Zoning Map of the City into conformance with the adopted General
Plan for the East Lake, North Peak and Lake View Districts.
Discussion & Analysis
Notification and Community Meeting
On September 5, 2013, Staff mailed 609 notifications to property owners of the 632
parcels affected by this zone change. There were a handful of duplicative owners. The
notification invited property owners to attend a Community Meeting on September 18,
2013 at the Senior Center to meet Staff and hear about the Consistency Zoning Project,
to obtain detailed information on the zones proposed, and to voice their concerns and
ask questions. The notification /invitation letter is Attachment 4 to this Staff Report.
Subsequent to the mailing, Staff received approximately 20 phone and e-mail inquiries
and front counter visits. Approximately 25 people attended the Community Meeting, and
Staff addressed all questions that were asked.
Existing Apartment Buildings
Staff spoke with Charles Pearson, owner of the Walnut Grove Apartments on Joy
Street. At the Community Meeting, he indicated that he did not want the existing R -3
(High Density Residential) zoning changed on his already constructed and occupied
apartments. Staff agrees with Mr. Pearson and recommends that General Plan
Amendment No. 2013 -04 include changing the Land Use Designation on his property to
HDR (High Density Residential).
In a similar instance, Staff is recommending that the Lake View Apartments on
Riverside Drive retain its existing R -3 (High Density Residential) zoning, by changing
the General Plan Land Use Map to HDR instead of retaining the existing "General
Commercial" designation.
In both instances Staff believes that existing viable housing should be recognized and
supported as the highest and best use of property along Riverside Drive in the Lake
View District.

Page 3 of 4
Northwest Portion of the Lake View District
Phase III covers three "cleanup" changes to the General Plan to recognize existing
residential subdivisions and their densities, existing zoning consistent with adjacent
properties, and property owned by the Riverside County Parks and Open Space District.
These changes are shown on Exhibit `B.'
East Lake Specific Plan Boundaries
Phase III includes correcting the boundaries of the East Lake Specific Plan from that
shown on the General Plan Land Use Map that was adopted in 2011. The General Plan
incorrectly shows the developed residential area between Skylark Drive, Corydon,
Palomar and Union Streets as outside of the East Lake Specific Plan boundaries. This
amendment will correct this error and will change the "Low- Density Residential ",
"Medium Density Residential" and "Recreation" land use designations of this property to
"Adopted Specific Plan."
Zone Change No. 2013 -03
The proposed zone changes to make zoning compatible with the General Plan
designations in the East Lake, North Peak and Lake View Districts are shown in five
exhibits, 'D' through 'H.' These exhibits indicate existing zoning, the General Plan
designation, and proposed zone change only. To view the entire Lake View District
proposed zones, please see the overall exhibit for Zoning Consistency Lake View
District. All color and enlarged 11 X 17 exhibits are provided as Attachment 3.
Environmental Determination
The City certified a Recirculated Program Environmental Impact Report (RP -EIR) for the
update to its General Plan. The proposed General Plan Amendment Nos. 2013 -03 and
2013 -04 and Zone Change No. 2013 -03 to the City's Official Zoning Map implements
the General Plan update, applying appropriate zoning districts compatible with their land
use designations. No additional environmental review is required.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission take the following action:
1. Approve Resolution No. 2013- ; Resolution of the Planning Commission of
the City of Lake Elsinore, California, Recommending that the City Council of the
City of Lake Elsinore Approve General Plan Amendment Nos. 2013 -03 and
2013 -04, Clean -up Amendments to the East Lake and Lake View Districts, as
Part of the Consistency Zoning Project, Phase III, Correcting the Boundaries of

Dear Property Owner:
You are receiving this letter because the updated General Plan, adopted on December 13,
2011, established a designation on your property that requires a change in zoning should you
wish to develop your property in the future. The City has undertaken the "Consistency Zoning
Project" that will rezone your property to make its zoning consistent with its General Plan
designation. Zoning determines what uses are allowed and what development standards apply.
The Consistency Zoning Project is City- initiated, and is free of charge to property owners.
We invite you to attend a Community Meeting where we will discuss the proposed zone
changes for the Lake View, East Lake, and North Peak Districts of the General Plan. We intend
to provide detailed information on each proposed zone. We welcome any concerns you may
have, and will answer all questions, if not at the meeting, then in a follow -up phone call.
The Community Meeting will be held:
Date: Wednesday evening, September 18, 2013
Time: 5:00 p.m.
Location: Senior Activities Center
420 E. Lakeshore Drive, Lake Elsinore. CA 92530
We anticipate a public hearing before the City Planning Commission regarding this Consistency
Zoning Project in October, followed by a public hearing before the City Council shortly
thereafter. A Notice of Public Hearing will appear in the Press - Enterprise newspaper, on the
City's website, and posted at City Hall prior to the actual date of each hearing.
If you cannot attend the meeting on September 18th we encourage you to visit the City's
website at www.lake- elsinore.orq to learn more about the Consistency Zoning Project, Phase III.
This information will be posted on Monday, September 9, 2013. You can also call the Planning
Division and speak to Carole Donahoe, the Project Planner for Consistency Zoning, at (951)
674 -3124 Ext. 287 or Richard MacHott, Planning Manager at (951) 674 -3124 Ext. 209. Please
use the Assessor Parcel Number printed on your address label when inquiring about your
property for faster service.
Sincerely,
ca�-� <� �

RECEIVED
SEP 2 3 2013
CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE
PLANNING DIVISION
SUBJECT: Your letter dated 9/05113 regarding APN 379131018 Walnut Grove Apartments
REFERENCE: Public Hearing; on 9/18/13
The public hearing and. my conversations with you at the hearing were informative.
As we discussed %vben the Walnut Grove Apartments were built (approximately 23 years ago),
land must have been zoned R3 or equivalent. There are 63 units on 3.1 acres (approximately 20
units per acre). It should be zoned R3 to make the complex compliant with its zoning and I
assume the land we own adjacent to Walnut Grove for the last 25 plus years also has been R3
zoning or equivalent because when Walnut Grove Apartments was built, a sister project was
engineered to be built on our land adjacent to Walnut Grove Apartments but due to the economy
at that time, it was never built (eve did not own Walnut. Grove Apartments or the land at that
time).
Our main concern at this time is APN 379131018 (Walnut Grove Apartments) being zoned as R3
to make its improvements compliant with zoning. APN 379131005, APN 379131006, APN
379131015 and APN 379131019 should be left as R3 zoning as it is presently zoned as shown on
the Zoning Consistency Plan. The reason we purchased the adjacent land was to allow us to
expand the size (number of units) of Walnut Grove Apartments in the future. Based on previous
discussions regarding our adjacent land with the Planning Department approximately 3 -5 years
ago, Joy Street is a planned 2 -lane road with no major highway frontage and its building
improvements are mainly multi - family units and a school which makes our vacant land ideally
suited to be improved with more multi- family= units. Because of many factors. its R3 zoning
would make it economically feasible to develop it in the future.
If you need any further information from me at this time, please let me know.
Thanks for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Charles Pearson
P.S. I would appreciate it if you would let me know when the final map has been completed for
review or let me know that Walnut Grove Apartments and our adjacent land will be designated
as R3 zoned.
