The East Lake Specific Plan meets the City's Specific Plan criteria for content and required implementation of the General Plan established by Section 65450 et seg. of the California Government Code and Section 17.99 of the City of Lake Elsinore Municipal Code. 2. The East Lake Specific Plan is consistent with the Goals, Policies and Objectives of the General Plan, and with any other applicable plans or policies adopted by the City for the reasons set forth in Section 3.1 (pp. III-1 through III-14) of the Specific Plan. 3. The Development Regulations contained within the Specific Plan supersede otherwise applicable City ordinances and codes, unless specifically stated to the contrary in the Specific Plan. Approval of the Specific Plan shall not be interpreted as waiving compliance with other Federal or State laws or City Codes. 4. This request will result in significant environmental impacts associated with land use, air quality, biological resources, energy resources, aesthetics, agriculture, seismicity, water quality, traffic, school construction, utilities and services which may be partially mitigated but are anticipated to remain significant upon development of the site as allowed under the General Plan. These impacts are therefore found to be acceptable under the General Plan, specifically the provision of the quality housing opportunities by the City, the -2- d1c019/22961/000/0511/ordinance anticipated increase in local government revenues generated by project residents and the provision of significant infrastructure improvements, all of which are expected to support local commercial and industrial development efforts and generate measurable benefits to the local economy and fiscal integrity of City government. 5. The proposed location of the Project allows the development to be well-integrated with its surroundings. 6. All vehicular traffic generated by the development, either in phased increments or at full build-out, will be accommodated safely and without causing undue congestion upon adjoining streets. 7. Except as limited by State Law, including SB 1287, the Specific Plan identifies methodologies to allow land use to be adequately serviced by existing or proposed public facilities and services. Suitable areas are reserved for schools, parks and pedestrian ways. 8. The overall design of the Specific Plan will produce an attractive, efficient and stable development. 9. The proposed project will not be detrimental to the health, safety, comfort or general welfare of the persons residing or working within the Project area or within the City, nor will it be injurious to property or improvements in the Project area or within the City.
