The applicant has worked with staff in resolving issues relating to this Design Review
application. There are no outstanding issues to report.
Analysis
City Planning and Engineering staff have reviewed the requested Design Review
application and have no concerns. Staff believes that the project's architecture;
landscaping; walls and fences are consistent with the design amenities and features
previously approved in the immediate area and have resulted in a well- designed
residential project. In addition, the project is compatible with the overall Alberhill Ranch
Specific Plan area and those existing and future developments that neighbor the project
site.
Environmental Determination
Environmental clearance and analysis for the proposed application is provided by
Addendum No. 2 to the Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR, which was prepared for
Vesting Tract Map No. 28214. Said environmental document was prepared in
accordance with Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines and was approved by the City
PC February 18, 2014 Item No. 2

RDR No. 2013 -08 — KB HOMES

Council in late 2004. The proposed project is consistent with the Alberhill Ranch
Specific Plan and VTTM No. 28214 and therefore, does not conflict with the findings
and discussions contained in the Addendum No. 2 document. The Addendum No. 2
EIR concluded that significant environmental impacts will not result with implementation
of those mitigation measures contained in the original 1989 Final Alberhill Ranch
Specific Plan EIR and the 2003 Addendum No. 2 EIR. Further environmental clearance
is unnecessary pursuant to Section 15162 (Subsequent EIR's, and Negative
Declarations).
It should also be noted that the project is exempt from the Multiple Species Habitat
Conservation Plan (MSHCP). No further action is required
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission:
Adopt Resolution No. 2014 -_, A Resolution of the Planning Commission of the
City of Lake Elsinore, California Adopting Findings that the Project Identified as
Residential Design Review No. 2013 -08 is Exempt from the Western Riverside
County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP).
2. Adopt Resolution No. 2014- A Resolution of the Planning Commission of the

PAGE 2OF4
SECTION 1. The Planning Commission has considered the proposed design for
the 66 residential homes and has found it acceptable. The Planning Commission finds
and determines that the Project design is consistent with the Alberhill Ranch Specific
Plan.
SECTION 2. The Planning Commission finds and determines that the Design
Review application 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 Design Review does not change density or intensities of use. It simply establishes
standards for color palates, articulation, orientation, and design. Therefore, it is not
necessary to conduct any further environmental review for the Project.
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 -08:
1. The project complies with the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the General Plan
and the Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan, as approved.
The General Plan designates the project site as "Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan. " The
Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan designates the project site as "Single- Family
Residential." The proposed production units will collectively lead to the construction
of a single family residential development within Vesting Tract Map No. 28214 that is
consistent with the Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan.
2. This project complies with the design directives contained in Chapter 17.184.060
and all other applicable provisions of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code.
The Project 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 Alberhill Ranch
Specific Plan. The Project creates interest and varying vistas as a person moves
along any street within the subdivision. The Project also complements the quality of
existing neighboring development and will continue to provide visually - pleasing
design and architecture within the project 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 project to ensure development of the property in accordance with the
General Plan, Municipal Code, and Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan.
The Planning Commission has considered the project and finds that with the
attached conditions of approval, the Project complies with the purposes and
objectives of the General Plan, Municipal Code and Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan.

47.The developer is required to amend a WQMP utilizing the current template found in
Appendix O of the "RIVERSIDE COUNTY DRAINAGE AREA MANAGEMENT PLAN" as
required per the current MS4 Permit issued by the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality
Control Board. The requirements of WQMP may affect the overall layout of the project,

facilities and water bodies. The WQMP shall provide measures to minimize the impact
from the pollutants of concern and hydrologic conditions of concern identified for the
project. Where the pollutants of concern include pollutants that are listed as causing or
contributing to impairments of receiving waters, BMPs must be selected so that the project
does not cause or contribute to an exceedance of water quality objectives. The WQMP
