pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res. Code 99 21000 et
seq.: "CEQA") and the CEQA Guidelines (14 C.C.R. 99 15000 et seq.).

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. Further, adequate conditions and safeguards

allow the Project to be built in accordance with ultimate street dedication and

industrial buildings in the immediate area.

applicable to the subject property which do apply generally to other properties in

the vicinity and district in which the subject property is located.
The City has concluded that the reduction in parking and landscaping setback
from thirty five feet (35) to twenty four feet (24) will not constitute a grant of
special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the
vicinity and district in which the subject project is located.

interpretation of the Zoning Ordinance represents the minimum deviation from
the Code necessary to fulfill the purpose of this Chapter and enable reasonable
development of the property.
In granting a reduction in parking and landscaping setback from thirty-five feet
(35) to twenty-four feet (24) the City has determined that the request for a
variance will represent the minimum deviation from the Code necessary to fulfill
the purpose of this Chapter and enable reasonable development of the property.
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 Variance No. 2009-01.
SECTION 5. This Resolution shall take effect from and after the date of its
passage and adoption.
