ELSINORE, APPROVING RESIDENTIAL DESIGN REVIEW NO. 2013 -06
WHEREAS, Pardee Homes has submitted an application for Residential Design
Review No. 2013 -06 (the "Activity "), for the "Meadow Glen" development of 137 single -
family residential units within the Canyon Hills Specific Plan, Tract Map No.'s 36115 and
36116; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Lake Elsinore has been
delegated with the responsibility of approving Residential Design Review requests for
residential projects within the Canyon Hills Specific Plan; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res.
Code §§ 21000 et seq.: "CEQA ") and the CEQA Guidelines (14 C.C.R. §§ 15000 et
seq.), public agencies are expressly encouraged to reduce delay and paperwork
associated with the implementation of CEQA by using previously prepared
environmental documents when those previously prepared documents adequately
address the potential impacts of the proposed project (CEQA Guidelines Section
15006); and
WHEREAS, CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 establishes the standard to be
used when determining whether subsequent environmental documentation is necessary
and says that when an environmental document has already been adopted for a project,
no subsequent environmental documentation is needed for subsequent entitlements
which comprise the whole of the action unless substantial changes or new information
are presented by the project; and
WHEREAS, the 1989 Final Environmental Impact Report for the Canyon Hills
Specific Plan (SCH #87111606: the "FEIR ") and the 2003 Addendum to FEIR,
collectively, evaluated environmental impacts that would result from maximum build -out
of the specific plan; and
WHEREAS, the Activity comprises part of the whole of the action and does not
present substantial changes or new information regarding the potential environmental
impacts of the project; and
WHEREAS, public notice of the Activity has been given, and the Planning

development and has found them acceptable. The Planning Commission finds and
determines that Residential Design Review No. 2013 -06 is consistent with the Canyon
Hills Specific Plan.
SECTION 2. The Planning Commission finds and determines that the Activity
does not present any new information, circumstances, or changes to the project that
was analyzed under the FEIR and the 2003 Addendum to the FEIR. The Activity does
not change density or intensities of use. It simply establishes standards for the design
and plotting of single family residential home product. Therefore, it is not necessary to
conduct any further environmental review for the Activity.
SECTION 3. That in accordance with Lake Elsinore Municipal Code Chapter
17.184, the Planning Commission makes the following findings for the approval of
Residential Design Review No. 2013 -06:
1. The Activity complies with the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the General Plan
and the Canyon Hills Specific Plan, as approved.
The General Plan designates the site as "Canyon Hills Specific Plan." The Canyon
Hills Specific Plan designates the sites as "SF -2 Single- Family Residential District."
Residential Design Review No. 2013 -06, the proposed plotting of approved
production units will collectively lead to the construction of a single family residential
development that is consistent with the Canyon Hills Specific Plan.
2. The Activity complies with the design directives contained in Chapter 17.184.060
and all other applicable provisions of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code.
The Activity is appropriate to the site and surrounding developments in that it will
result in the construction of single- family detached units in accordance with
appropriate development and design standards contained in the Canyon Hills
Specific Plan. The Activity creates interest and varying vistas as a person moves
along any street within the subdivision. The Activity also complements the quality of
existing neighboring development and will continue to provide visually - pleasing
design and architecture within the area.
3. Conditions and safeguards pursuant to Chapter 17.184.070, including guarantees
and evidence of compliance with conditions, have been incorporated into the
approval of the Activity to ensure development of the property in accordance with the
General Plan, Municipal Code, and Canyon Hills Specific Plan.
The Planning Commission has considered the Activity and finds that with the
attached conditions of approval, the Activity complies with the purposes and
objectives of the General Plan, Municipal Code and Canyon Hills Specific Plan.
