NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE THAT: SECTION 1. Upon recommendation of the Planning Commission and based upon the findings adopted hereby with regard to the approval of the project, the City Council hereby finds (i) finds that the Specific Plan for the project area attached hereto as Attachment A is consistent with the General Plan of the City; (ii) approves and adopts the Specific Plan SECTION 2. That in accordance with Chapter 17.99.100 of the Zoning Ordinance, the findings by the City of Lake Elsinore for approval of Specific Plans have been made as follows: 1. The location and design of the proposed development shall be consistent with the Goals and Policies of the City's General Plan and with any other applicable plan or policies adopted by the City, or in the process of being prepared and adopted. The proposed Specific Plan is consistent with the Goals and Polices of the General Plan, since the proposed project takes into consideration the uses permitted, surrounding land uses and existing and proposed circulation system. Additionally, a concurrent General Plan Amendment is being processed to ensure consistency in land uses and policies is maintained. Page 2 Ordinance No. 942 2. The proposed location shall allow the development to be well- integrated with or adequately buffered from its surroundings, whichever may be the case. The propose location is well integrated and located to its surroundings since, the proposed project will be adjacent to similar residential, commercial, institutional, and open space uses which have already received Specific Plan approval. 3. All vehicular traffic generated by the development, either in phased increments or at full build-out, is to be accommodated safely and without causing undue congestion upon adjoining streets. A traffic study has been completed, which addresses all of the anticipated circulation system improvements necessary to adequately handle the project's expected traffic volumes. There will be no significant congestion during build out or at completion of the project. 4. The Final Specific Plan shall identify a methodology(s) to allow land uses to be adequately serviced by existing or proposed public facilities and services. In appropriate circumstances, and as provided elsewhere by City Code, the City may require that suitable areas be reserved for schools, parks and pedestrian ways; or public open spaces shall be dedicated or reserved by private covenant for the common use of residents, establishments or operations in the development. The proposed project provides a phasing schedule for the development of adequate public facilities on an as needed basis tied to the build out of project phases. Additionally, the proposed project will provide sites for the development of parks, open space areas, and schools. 5. The overall design of the Specific Plan will produce an attractive, efficient and stable development. The proposed Specific Plan contains design guidelines for the long term development of the project such as a phasing schedule of the overall project, logical location of land uses, and necessary circulation improvements to facilitate production of an attractive, efficient and stable development of the project. 6. In accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), impacts have been reduced to a level of non-significance, or in the case where impacts remain, a statement of overriding considerations must be adopted to justify the merits of project implementation. An Addendum Environmental Impact Report to the Alberhill FEIR 89-2 has been prepared to address the minor technical revisions associated with the proposed project. The Alberhill FEIR addressed all the significant impacts and developed mitigation measures reducing impacts to a level of insignificance. A statement of overriding considerations was adopted for impacts not reduced to a level of insignificance. .Page 3 Ordinance No. 942 NOW, THEREFORE, based on the above findings, the City Council does hereby approve Amendment Number 2 to Specific Plan 89-2: PASSED UPON FIRST READING this l0;th day of Novembe-x,.1992 by the following roll call vote: AYES: COUNCILMEMBERS: ALONOI, CHERVENY, DOMINGUEZ, WINKLER, h!ASHBURN NOES: COUNCILMEMBERS: NONE ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: NONE ABSTAIN: COUNCILMEMBERS: NONE PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this `24th- day of -~!ovember, 1992;, upon the following vote: AYES: Councilmembers: ALON~I, CHERVENY, DOMIN~UEZ, kIINKLER, 4lASHBURN NOES: Councilmembers: NONE ABSENT: Councilmembers: NONE ABSTAIN: Councilmembers: nNONE Washburn, Mayor of Lake Elsinore AT EST: Vicki Lynn.
