The Planning Commission has considered the proposed design, construction and establishment of an industrial/warehouse building totaling 43,552 square feet on 2.12 acres of vacant land to be located at the west side of Corydon Street between Cereal and Como Streets and finds and determines that the Conditional Use Permit request is consistent with the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code and the East Lake Specific Plan.

That in accordance with Lake Elsinore Municipal Code Chapter 17.74, the Planning Commission makes the following findings for the approval of Conditional Use Permit 2009-01: 1. The proposed use, on its own merits and within the context of its setting, is in accord with the objectives of the General Plan, the East Lake Specific Plan, and the purpose of the planning district in which the site is located. In order to achieve a well balanced and functional mix of residential, commercial, industrial, open space, recreational and institutional land uses, staff has thoroughly evaluated the land use compatibility, noise, traffic and other environmental hazards related to the proposed Conditional Use Permit for an industrial warehouse located n n n PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION 2009-23 PAGE 2 OF 5 on the west side of Corydon Street between Cereal and Como Streets. Accordingly, the proposed land use complies with the objectives of the General Plan, the East Lake Specific Plan and the purpose of the planning district in which the site is located. 2. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the general health, safety, comfort, or welfare of persons residing or working within the neighborhood of the proposed use or the City, or injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood or the City. In accord with the purposes of the Chapter 17.74 (Conditional Use Permits) of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code, the City realized that the proposed industrial warehouse located on the west side of Corydon Street between Cereal and Como Streets may have potential to negatively impact the welfare of persons residing or working within the neighborhood or the City. Considering this, all applicable City Departments and Agencies have been afforded the opportunity for a thorough review of the use 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. 3. The site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, and for all the yards, setbacks, walls or fences, landscaping, buffers and other features required. The proposed industrial warehouse located on the west side of Corydon Street between Cereal and Como Streets has been designed in consideration of the size and shape of the property, thereby strengthening and enhancing the immediate Airport Use Area of the East Lake Specific Plan. Further, the Project as proposed, will complement the quality of existing development and will create a visually pleasing, non-detractive relationship between the proposed and existing projects, in that the industrial warehouse use has been reviewed to ensure adequate provision of screening from the public rights-of-way or adjacent properties. 4. The site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways with proper design both as to width and type of pavement to carry the type and quantity of traffic generated by the subject use. The proposed industrial warehouse located on the west side of Corydon Street between Cereal and Como Streets has been reviewed as to its relation to the width and type of pavement needed to carry the type and quantity of traffic generated, in that the City has adequately evaluated the potential impacts associated with the proposed industrial warehouse use prior to its approval and has conditioned the project to be served by roads of adequate capacity and design standards to provide reasonable access. In n II n , ' PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION 2009-23 PAGE 3 OF 5 5. The project complies with the design directives contained in Section 17.82.060 and all other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code. The proposed use has been thoroughly reviewed and conditioned by all applicable City Departments and outside Agencies, eliminating the potential for any and all adverse effects on the abutting property. In addition, the proposed Project complies with the goals and objectives of the General Plan, and the East Lake Specific Plan. Approval of this industrial warehouse use will assist in achieving the development of a well-balanced and functional mix of residential, commercial, industrial, open space, recreational and institutional land uses as well as encouraging industrial land uses to diversify Lake Elsinore's economic base. 6. Subject to the attached conditions of approval, the proposed project is not anticipated to result in any significant adverse environmental impacts. This project has been reviewed and found consistent with the East Lake Specific Plan and Environmental Impact Report. The Project will not have a significant effect on the environment. 7. Conditions and safeguards pursuant to Chapters 17.74.050 have been incorporated into the approval of the Conditional Use Permit to ensure that the use continues in a manner envisioned by these findings for the term of the use. The City realizes that certain uses have operational characteristics that, depending upon the location and design of the use, may have the potential to negatively impact adjoining properties, businesses, or residents. Those types of uses therefore require a more comprehensive review in order to mitigate any determined impact. After extensive review of the Project it was determined that the conditions of approval imposed upon the Project ensure that adjoining properties, businesses, and residents will not be negatively impacted by the proposed project. SECTION 4. Based upon all of the evidence considered, the above findings, and the conditions of approval imposed upon the Project, the Planning Commission hereby approves Conditional Use Permit 2009-01. SECTION 5. This Resolution shall take effect from and after the date of its passage and adoption.
