EXHIBIT #1
FINDINGS AND FACTS IN SUPPORT OF FINDINGS
AND TATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
REGARDING THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR THE
NORTH PEAK PLANNED COMMUNITY AND AREA ANNEXATION
(SPECIFIC PLAN 90-2; PREZONING)
SCH N0. 90020487
These Findings and Facts in Support of Findings relate
to the annexation, General Plan designation and zoning of
approximately 2,250 acres (the "Annexation Area"), as described
in the North Peak Planned Community Environmental Impact Report
("EIR"). Within the Annexation Area, the North Peak Specific
Plan Area ("SPA") consists of 1,964 acres owned by TMC
Communities ("SPA Developer"). In addition, three parcels
totalling approximately 286 acres ("Outparcels") are included
in the Annexation Area but are not part of the SPA. The term
"Project" shall refer to the entire set of actions addressed in
the EIR relating to the Annexation Area.
The EIR identifies significant effects on the
environment which may occur as a result of the Project. The
State Guidelines ("Guidelines") promulgated pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") provide as
follows:
(a) No public agency shall approve or carry out a project
for which an EIR has been completed which identifies
one or more significant environmental effects of the
project unless the public agency makes one or more
written findings for each of those significant
effects, accompanied by a brief explanation of the
rationale for each finding. The possible findings are:
(1) Changes or alterations have been required in, or
incorporated into, the project which avoid or
substantially lessen the significant
environmental effects as identified in the final
EIR.
(2) Such changes or alterations are within the
responsibility and jurisdiction of another public
agency and not the agency making the finding.
Such changes have been adopted by such other
agency or can and should be adopted by such other
agency.
[This finding shall be referred to as "finding
2 ."]
(3) Specific economic, social, or other
considerations make infeasible the mitigation
measures or project alternatives identified in
the final EIR. (Guidelines Section 15091.)
[This finding shall be referred to as "finding
3 .")
Section 1 of these Findings identifies the significant
environmental effects of the Project which cannot feasibly be
mitigated to below a level of significance. Section 2 sets
forth potential environmental effects of the Project which are
not significant because of the design of the Project or which
can feasibly be mitigated to below a level of significance.
Section 3 summarizes the alternatives discussed in the EIR and
contains findings explaining the reasons that the Project,
rather than .any of the alternatives to the Project, was
approved. Section 4 sets forth a Statement of Overriding
Considerations.
1. FINDINGS REGARDING SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS WHICH CANNOT
FEASIBLY BE MITIGATED TO BELOW A LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE.
The City has determined that EIR mitigation measures
and proposals included a part of the Project will result in a
substantial reduction of the following effects, but that these
effects cannot feasibly be mitigated to below a level of
significance.
1.1 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
1.1.1 ~gnificant Effect: The Project will result. in a
reduction in the range or number of Stephens kangaroo rat.
Findines: The City hereby makes findings (1), (2) and
(3).
Facts in Support of Findin s: The following measures
will result in a substantial reduction of the adverse impacts
of the identified significant effect.
(a) Prior to development of property within the Annexation
Area, the developer shall comply with the requirements of the
federal Endangered Species Act ("ESA").
(b) Within the SPA, all requirements imposed by the United
States Fish and Wildlife Service ("USFWS") following
consultation under Section 7 of the ESA shall be met.
(c) Mitigation for significant impacts to Stephens
kangaroo rat consists of preservation of habitat occupied by
the species within the SPA and dedication of natural open space
areas occupied by the species off-site, the two equaling an
acre for acre dedication of occupied habitat. Off-site
dedication will be accomplished through land exchanges, in-lieu
fee dedication, etc. These lands will be managed by the Bureau
of Land Management ("BLM") or BLM's designee.
(d) The above mitigation measures will not fully mitigate
,impacts to Stephens kangaroo rat to below the level of
significance, since the range and number of this endangered
species will undergo a net decrease. However, for the USFWS to
approve the loss of Stephens kangaroo rat habitat under the
provisions of the ESA, it must find that the Project (including
mitigation) does not jeopardize the existence of the species.
1.1.2 Significant Effect: Implementation of the Project
will result in the loss of 624 acres of chaparral, Coastal Sage
scrub ("CSS") and annual grasslands. This contributes to the
cumulative loss of native and naturalized plant cover in the
-3-
area, and the- ongoing loss of large tracts of
native/naturalized plant. communities in western Riverside
County.
(3).
Findings: The City hereby makes findings (1), (2) and
Facts in Support of Findings: The following measures
will result in a substantial reduction of the adverse impacts
of the identified significant effect.
(a) The Facts in Support of Findings 2.1.1 and 2.1.5
hereby are incorporated by reference.
(b) Developers within the Project area shall demonstrate
in landscape plans that native species will be used extensively
in all landscaping of natural open areas which are adjacent to
natural open space areas, including buffer zones and fuel
modification zones. All landscaping/fuel modification plant
palettes shall be reviewed by a qualified biologist familiar
with the possibilities of landscaping with native stock.
(c) General Plan policies and CEQA mitigation measures
imposed by other jurisdictions within western Riverside County
also should address the impacts of the loss of native and
naturalized plants.
(d) While the above mitigation measures will aid in
minimizing impacts to native/naturalized habitats, they will
not mitigate the cumulative impact to below a level of
significance.
1.1.3 Significant Effect: Several rare, endangered or other
sensitive species are known to inhabit the region. Cumulative
development will result in the loss of vegetation and habitat
for sensitive species.
(3).
Finding: The City hereby makes findings (1), (2) and
Facts in Suvvort of Finding: The following measures
will result in a substantial reduction of the adverse impacts
of the identified significant effect.
(a) The Facts in Support of Findings 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 2.1.2,
2.1.3, 2.1.4, 2.1.8 and 2.1.9 hereby are incorporated by
reference.
-4-
<b) Regional habitat preservation areas are being
established for sensitive species, thereby reducing adverse
cumulative effects on these species.
(c) While the above mitigation measures will reduce
impacts on sensitive species, significant cumulative impacts
will remain.
(d) ** SEE PACE 5A FOR TEXT.
1.2 LANDFORM ALTERATION
1.2.1 Significant Effect: Grading of the Annexation Area
will change the landform character of the area.
Findines: The City hereby makes findings (1) and (3).
Facts in Support of Findines: The following measures
will result in the substantial reduction of the adverse impacts
of the identified significant effects.
(a) Prior to the approval of grading plans within the
Annexation Area, the Director of Community Development- shall
ensure that the following measures have been incorporated into
the Project:
(1) Recontouring of the existing landform to provide
a smooth and gradual transition between graded slopes and
existing grades.
(2) Contour grading of final slopes so that contours,
elevations and gradients of finished slopes are blended
with adjacent natural terrain to achieve a consistent grade
and natural appearance.
(3) Variation and combination of slopes of 2:1, 3:1
and 4:1 to create a more natural character whenever
possible within the graded areas.
(4) Planting of cut and fill slopes with native
vegetation in order to prevent erosion.
(5) Obscuring slope drainage structures with a
variety of plant materials.
(6) Incorporation of architectural and design
techniques into the Project in order to minimize grading
and enhancement of off-site views such as split levels,
clustering, etc.
-5-
(b) These mitigation measures will reduce the impacts to
landform alteration to the greatest degree possible. However,
development of the Annexation Area will result in the permanent
alteration of existing landform features.
1.2.2 Significant Effect: Development of cumulative
projects in the Lake Elsinore region will result in a
significant adverse change in the natural topography of the
region.
(3).
Findings: The City hereby makes findings (1), <2) and
• Facts in Support of .Findings: The following measures
will result in the substantial reduction of the adverse impacts
of the identified significant effect.
(a) The Facts in Support of Finding 1.2.1 hereby are
incorporated by reference.
(b) Adherence to City General Plan policies regarding
landform modification will minimize impacts on topography.
(c) Adherence to General Plan policies within the
surrounding cities and the County of Riverside regarding
landform modification will minimize impacts on topography.
(d) Although these mitigation measures will reduce impacts
on topography, significant cumulative impacts on landforms will
remain.
1.3 AIR QUALITY
1.3.1 Significant Effect: Implementation of the Project
will result in significant emissions of reactive organic gases,
nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide (ROG, NOx and CO) within
the City and its sphere. The South Coast Air Basin is"
anticipated to exceed federal and State project standards for
ROG with or without the Project.
(3).
Findings: The City hereby makes findings (1), (2) and
Facts in Suvvort of Finding: The following measures
will result in a substantial reduction of the adverse impacts
of the identified significant effect.
(a) The Facts in Support of Findings 2.8.1, 2.8.2 and
2.8.3 hereby are incorporated by reference.

Regarding the SKR Interim Habitat Conservation Plan
Section 1.1.3 (d) THIS SECTION IS TO BE INSERTED ON PAf=E 5 WHERE INDICATED.
(d) Pursuant to Section VI.A(5) (c) of the Stephens
Kangaroo Rat Interim Habitat Conservation Plan
Implementation Agreement, the City Council hereby finds
that the approval of the Project will have "no
significant environmental effect" on the establishment of
a Stephens Kangaroo Rat ("SKR") reserve in the reserve
study area. This finding is based on the Final EIR, the
studies of the habitat of the SKR within the Project area
and within the proposed on-site and off-site mitigation
areas conducted by Dr. Richard Friesen of Michael
Brandman and Associates, the conditions of approval to
the Project which require the project proponent to comply
with all requirements imposed by the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service following consultation under Section 7
of the Endangered Species Act ("ESA"), the mitigation
measures adopted by the project proponent including the
preservation of significant on-site and off-site habitat
and potential habitat for the SKR, and other information
submitted to the City on this matter. The finding is
also based on the fact that the City Council approval is
limited to the specific plan and pre-annexation zoning
for the project, and that additional approvals will be
required, including the approval of subdivision maps and
grading permits, before any development could be
undertaken within the Steele Park Study Area which would
involve any adverse effect on the Stephens Kangaroo Rat.
The City Council also finds that the project will require
consultation pursuant to Section 7 of the ESA and that
the ESA and the Implementation Agreement recognize that
the requirements of the ESA can be satisfied through the
Section 7 consultation process in lieu of the terms of
the SKR Interim Habitat Conservation Plan.
-5A-
(b) Following its review of the EIR, the Southern
California Association of Governments ("SCAG") made the
following finding: "The design concept for the North Peak
Planned Community, which is based on an integrated community
consisting of residential, commercial and recreational land
uses within the context of small villages, is highly
commendable since it is conducive to reduced motorized
vehicular use and promotes alternative forms of non-motorized
commuting. The development of pedestrian-oriented commercial
centers and recreational areas through the construction of
bicycle paths and pedestrian walkways should facilitate the use
of these preferred non-polluting modes of travel within and
between villages."
(b) Control measures imposed by other jurisdictions,
pursuant to the AQMP and to local review of projects, will
reduce cumulative impacts of air pollution.
(c) Although the above mitigation measures will reduce
impacts on criteria pollutants, the cumulative impact on
emissions within the South Coast Air Basin will remain
significant.
1.3.2 Significant Effect: Carbon monoxide (CO) levels at
the four locations monitored, as described in the EIR, will
exceed the state 8-hour standard. One location will exceed the
state 1-hour standard (I-15 northbound ramps Nichols Road).
This impact is due to both Project and cumulative traffic.
Findings: The City hereby makes findings (1), (2) and
(3).
Facts in Suvvort of Finding: The following measures
will result in a substantial reduction of the adverse impacts
of the identified significant effect.
(a) The Facts in Support of Findings 2.6.1, 2.6.2 and
2.6.3, regarding improvements to Nichols Road and State Route
74 to reduce congestion along these routes, hereby are
incorporated by reference. These improvements will reduce
emissions by reducing congestion.
(b) The Facts in Support of Findings 2.8.2 and 2.8.3
hereby are incorporated by reference.
(c) Fact (b) in Support of Finding 1.3.1
incorporated by reference.
hereby is
-7-
(d) Requirements established by other jurisdictions
regarding road improvements, control of short-term construction
exhaust, the use of alternate transportation modes and
compliance with AQMP measures will reduce cumulative impacts on
CO levels.
(e) While the above mitigation measures will reduce
Project impacts on local CO levels, a significant cumulative
impact will remain after mitigation.
1.4 AESTHETICS
1.4.1 significant Effect: The on-site visual character of
portions of the Annexation Area will change from rural to
suburban.
Findings: The City hereby makes findings (1) and (3).
Facts in Support of Findings: The following measures
will result in the substantial reduction of the adverse impacts
of the identified significant effect.
(a) Within the last 40 years, numerous human modifications
to the landscape have been made within the SPA. At least two
powerline corridors cross the property in east-west
alignments. Other recent alterations include numerous
scattered homesites, almost exclusively containing
prefabricated mobile homes. In the hilly terrain of the
southern part cf the SPA, the tops of many knolls have been
truncated to serve as platforms for dwellings; in many cases,
no structures have been built on these sites. A prolific
number of unpaved graded roads cross the site, only some of
which are depicted in the. current USGS quadrangle maps. An
abandoned "wargame" field is located in the northeast quarter
of Section 7. This field is outfitted with structures,
including a lookout tower and mock pillboxes made from
corrugated sheet metal. Numerous modern trash dumps are
located throughout the area, which is also littered with
abandoned motor vehicles. Shell casings, clay pigeons,
shattered bottles and punctured cans and signs attest to the
prolific use of the area for recreational shooting. In short,
while the SPA currently is largely undeveloped, it is not a
pristine rural area.
(b) Approximately 50% of the SPA will be retained in open
space, thereby decreasing the visual impact of development on
the site.
-8-
(c) Approximately 70% of the riparian habitat in the SPA
will be retained on-site, thereby reducing impacts caused by
alterations to this habitat.
(d) Disturbed areas in the SPA will be relandscaped with
introduced species that have been historically located in the
vicinity, including olive trees, eucalyptus trees and palm
trees.
(e) Prior to the approval of the first tentative map for
the SPA, the City shall review and approve a master landscape
plan for the SPA.
(f) Native species shall be incorporated as part of the
landscape in the proposed palette transition zones between
developed areas and preserved natural areas.
(g) When a specific development proposal has been
submitted for development of the Outparcels, the City shall
ensure that the development is in compliance with all General
Plan policies governing visual impacts. The City also shall
impose further mitigation measures (through CEQA review or
through the City's discretionary approval process) to ensure
that visual impacts are mitigated. An analysis of visual
impacts shall be required prior to development plan approval.
(h) These mitigation measures will reduce the impact of
the Project to on-site views. However, the Project will
continue to result in a significant impact to the visual
character of the site.
1.4.2 Significant Effect: Landform modification, combined
with increasing development of the region, will result in
significant adverse changes to the visual resources of the
region.
Findings: The City hereby makes findings (1), (2) and
C3)•
Facts in Support of Findings: The following measures
will result in a substantial reduction of the adverse impacts
of the identified significant effect.
(a) Facts in Support of Findings 1.2.1, 1.4.1 and 2.10.1
hereby are incorporated by reference.
(b) Conformance with the City General Plan policies will
minimize cumulative visual impacts of ongoing development.
-9-
(c) Implementation of General Plan and other development
policies in surrounding.:'jurisdictions will minimize cumulative
visual impacts of ongoing development.
(d) While the above mitigation measures will reduce
impacts on visual resources, significant cumulative impacts
will remain.
-10-
2 POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFE'ECTS WHICH ARE NOT SIGNIFICANT
OR WHICH CAN BE MITIGATED TO BELOW A LEVEL -0F SIGNIFICANCE
The City has determined that the following effects will not be
significant, or will be mitigated to below a level of
significance, for the reasons stated below.

sensitive animal species: orange-throated whiptail, San Diego
horned lizard and California gnat catcher.
Findines: The City hereby makes finding (1).
Facts in Support of Findines:
(a) Natural open space shall be preserved within the SPA,
contiguous with off-site natural open space areas. Thirty-two
acres of CSS-1 and CSS-2/G shall be preserved and eighty acres
of CSS-2 and CSS-2/G shall be preserved.
(b) In addition to on-site mitigation, the off-site
mitigation parcels for it;pacts on Stephens kangaroo rat within
the SPA will also contain areas of coastal sage scrub.
(c) The Facts in Support of Finding 2.1.5 hereby are
incorporated by reference.
2.1.2 Potential Effect: Development of the SPA could affect
one population of Munz's onion.
Findings: The City hereby makes finding (1).
Facts in Su~vort of Findines:
(a) Prior to issuance of a grading permit for the relevant
portion of the SPA, the Project proponent shall ensure that a
relocation program for Munz`s onion will be conducted. All of
the bulbs in the population shall be relocated according to the
protocol identified in the following paragraphs.
(b) All work shall be conducted by a qualified botanist
familiar with the most successful techniques for bulb
relocation.
-11-
(c) All plants in the population shall be located and
mapped during the spring flowering period and monitored on a
regular basis in order to perform the relocation at the proper
stage in the flowering cycle.
(d) Relocation shall take place at the end of the spring
flowering period, and shall consist of careful removal of all
bulbs.
(e) The bulbs shall be transferred to a qualified
institution (e.g., botanic garden) for controlled propagation
and eventual relocation of later generations to appropriate
dedicated open space areas. The Rancho Santa Ana Botanic
Gardens is a qualified institution which has expressed interest
in receiving the transplanted bulbs.
2.1.3 Potential Effect: Arroyo toad, a sensitive species
which may occur in streambed riparian habitat on the Project
site, could suffer reduction in habitat or loss of individuals
as a result of Project implementation. These impacts, if any,
would occur in R-2, R-3 and R-4 streambed riparian areas.
Findines: The City hereby makes finding <1).
Facts in Support of Findines:
(a) Mitigation for this potential impact consists of
riparian streambed replacement on an acre-for-acre basis. The
Facts in Support of Finding 2.1.4 hereby are incorporated by
reference.
2.1.4 Potential Effect: streambed riparian habitat will be
impacted in the SPA.
Findines: The City hereby makes finding.(1).

of habitat in the natural open space.
(b) Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, the
applicant shall demonstrat e through project design ..and
landscape plans that natural open space movement corridors
shall be maintained, to the maximum extend feasible, for scrub
requiring bird species and larger predators between undeveloped
areas of scrub vegetation within the Project boundaries and
open space areas adjacent to the site.
<c) In areas where roads divide areas of coastal sage
scrub, corridors of coastal sage scrub habitat shall be
included in the revegetation of graded areas up to the edge of
the right-of-way. The minimum width of such corridors shall be
30 feet. This revegetation program shall be designed and
monitored by the City in order to ensure s~iccessful
establishment of the habitat.
2.1.6 potential Effect: Humans and their pets could disturb
wildlife in undisturbed areas adjacent to development.
Findines: The City hereby makes finding (1).
Facts in Support of Findings:
<a) SPA project design and fencing plans shall demonstrate
that suitable buffers will be constructed between proposed
development areas and the. Nature Park. Buffers shall include
fencing or other physical barriers and appropriate landscaping
materials (primarily native .plants), with the primary goal of
controlling human and pet encroachment in this area. The
buffer shall be of sufficient width to minimize indirect
impacts associated with human activities.
<b) Access to the SPA Nature Park area shall be restricted
for bicycles, motorcycles and off-road vehicles, and signage
-13-
shall be erected to deter these and other uses incompatible
with the purposes of the Nature Park and its functions as a
wildlife habitat/mitigation site.
2.1.7 Potential Effect: Nocturnal or crepuscular animal
activity could be reduced as a result of nighttime lighting in
the immediate vicinity of development.
Findings: The City hereby makes finding (1).
Facts in Support of Findings:
(a) Project applicants shall demonstrate in lighting plans
that outdoor lighting shall be designed and located so that
direct rays are confined to the property to the maximum extent
possible.
<b) All City lighting requirements shall be met.
2.1.8 Potential Effect: Exotic (non-native) plants species
introduced on-site could potentially invade natural habitat and
displace some native species.
Findings: The City hereby makes finding (1).
Facts in Sunvort of Findings:
(a) In order to minimize the possibility of invasion of
native habitats by non-native invasive plant species, the
Project applicants shall demonstrate on landscape plans .that no
such plant species are used in landscape plans, fuel
modification zones or other buffer zones. Known invasive
species include those listed in mitigation measures 1-10 in the
EIR.
2.1.9 Potential Effect: Implementation of the Project will
result in ,c onstruction-related impacts to biological resources.
Findines: The City hereby makes finding (1).
Facts in Sunnort of Findings:
(a) The following measure shall be implemented prior to
issuance of grading permits in order to prevent biological
resources during construction.
(b) To the extent permitted by other constraints to the
grading schedule, vegetation clearing shall be limited or
avoided during the nesting season (March - June).
-14-
(c) A qualified monitor shall be present at any pre-grade
conference, during any mass grading, and periodically during
construction, to ensure that preserved sensitive resources are
properly fenced or otherwise protected.
(d) During construction, preserved riparian areas that are
adjacent to grading areas will be temporarily fenced off or
otherwise protected, to prevent grading or storage of heavy
equipment of building materials in these habitats.
(e) Where cut and fill slopes encroach on wetland
habitats, the slope angles shall be designed to be as steep as
feasible to minimize lateral encroachment.
<f) Grading materials or spoils shall not be placed or
stored near any riparian area.
(g) Removal of native vegetation shall be avoided wherever
possible, and the amount of habitat removed shall be limited to
the minimum required for construction.
(h) Where feasible, construction shall be conducted along
wetland areas during dry weather.
(i) Drainage plans shall minimize erosion and cutting to
drainage courses, as required by the grading regulations and
outlined in the hydrology section of the EIR.
(j) Toxic and hazardous materials on the Project site
shall be controlled during construction. Spills of hazardous
materials shall be promptly and completely cleaned up.
2.2 HYDROLOGY
2.2.1 Potential Effect: Development of the SPA will result
in modifications to on-site drainage.
Findings: The City hereby makes finding <1).
Facts in Suvvort of Findings:
(a) Prior to the issuance of a tentative tract map for
development of each Village of the SPA, the developer shall
submit to the City of Lake Elsinore Director of Community
Development, a Master Drainage Improvement Plan, indicating the
nature and sizing of the final drainage improvement.
-15-
2.2.2 Potential Effect: Post-development off-site
discharges for the SPA will increase by less than ten percent.
Findines: The City hereby makes finding (1).
Facts in Support of Findings:
(a) Prior to issuance of a grading permit for any Planning
Area within the SPA, the developer shall submit documentation
to the City Engineer demonstrating whether downstream drainages
can accommodate any increase in off-site discharge. If the
downstream drainage cannot accommodate this increase, then
measures will be incorporated into the project design (i.e.,
downstream improvements or retention basins) to ensure that
downstream flows are accommodated.
2.2.3 Potential Effect: Construction activities could cause
a short-term increase in erosion.
Findings: The City hereby makes finding (1).
Facts in Svp~ort of Findings:
(a) Prior° to the issuance of a grading permit for
development of each Planning Area of the SPA or Outparcels, the
developer shall submit to the City Engineer a construction
erosion control plan to prevent excessive runoff and erosion
during project construction. Measures to be included in such a
plan may include, bvt are not limited to, the use the temporary
perimeter control measures, timely replanting of graded areas
and the scheduling of grading during the non-rainy season.
2.2.4 Potential Effect: Development of the Annexation Area
will cause an increase in urban pollutants in downstream
runoff .
Findines: The City hereby makes finding (1).
Facts in Support of Findings:
(a) Riparian wetland habitat areas in the SPA will be

2.14 GROWTH-INDUCING IMPACTS
2.14.1 Potential Effect: Development of the Project will
provide an additional 5,369 residential units of housing
stock. The estimated residential population generated from the
Project will be 14,858. The SPA also includes 40 acres of
commercial land vse and approximately 991 acres of open space.
Findings: The City hereby makes finding (1).
Facts in Support of Findings:
<a) The Facts in Support of Findings 2.5.1, 2.5.2 and'
2.5.3 hereby are incorporated by reference.
(b) The intent of the City in approving development of the
Annexation Area is to provide a balance of land uses within
overall planned communities. Such planning serves to minimize
potential growth-inducing impacts by taking a long-term
comprehensive approach to addressing area-wide land use
characteristics and needs..
2.14.2 Potential Effect: Due to the large size and location
of the SPA and Outparcels, urban services and utilities that
are currently unavailable to the Annexation Area would be
required to serve the Project. Expansion of nearly every urban
service and utility would be required to serve the Annexation
Area. Extension of public services and utilities, the widening
of State Route 74 and construction at Nichols Road could allow
more development in adjacent areas.
Finding: The City hereby makes finding (1).
Farts in Support of Findings:
(a) Development in adjacent areas is foreseen and provided
for in the City's General Plan. Such long-term planning. will
minimize potential growth-inducing effects.
-41-
<b) Additional development in the vicinity of the Project
Area will be subject to City planning procedures and
requirements, including requirements of engineering studies
relating to the provision of services.
2.14.3 Potential Effect: Additional commercial uses may be
drawn to the area by the increased number of people in the area
as a result of the Project. The Project, together with planned
commercial and industrial development, will induce growth
effects by creating and stimulating a market for commercial and
.industrial development in the area. Secondary employment
resulting from new commercial and industrial growth also would
generate increased demands for housing and infrastructure.
Findings: The City hereby makes finding (1).
Facts in Support of Findings:
(a) Additional commercial and industrial growth is likely
to occur in areas planned for such uses in the City's General
Plan, i.e., in downtown Lake Elsinore and along the major
highway corridors.
(b) The additional growth that may be generated has been
foreseen and planned for in the City's General Plan and is
accommodated in regional forecasts.
2.15 CUMULATIVE IMPACTS
Cumulative impacts on biological resources, landform
alteration, air quality and aesthetics are discussed in Section
1 of these Findings.
2.15.1 Potential Effects on HydrologX: Cumulative
development could add incrementally to degradation of surface
water quality in the area. Combined with other urban uses,
increased amounts of grease, oil, fertilizers, herbicides and
pesticides would enter storm runoff. Grading could also
increase the rate of siltation. Surface runoff could increase
due to terrain/watershed modifications and increases in
impervious surfaces. Resulting runoff could be significant
during a heavy rainfall, adding to the flood potential
downstream. The increase in impervious surfaces could also
decrease the water that would have percolated into the soil,
thus diminishing recharge to the groundwater table.
Findingg: The City hereby makes finding (1).

Facts in Support of Findines:
- (a) The Facts in Support of Findings 2.2.1-2.2.5 hereby
are incorporated by reference.
(b) Conditions of approval and mitigation measures imposed
on other projects within the City and the region will reduce
impacts on hydrology.
2.15.2 Potential Effects on Geology: Development within the
region could be affected by slope stability, soil conditions,
erosion and seismic risk.
Findines: The City hereby makes finding (1).
Facts in Su~vort of Findings:
(a) The Facts in Svpport of Findings 2.3.1-2.3.6 hereby
are incorporated by reference.
<b) Mitigation of geologic conditions for other projects
is specific to each site.
2.15.3 Potential Effects on Land Use: As .established in area
General Plans and SCAG forecasts, cumulative development in
Lake Elsinore and the surrounding areas would result in the
conversion of land from a semi-rural character to an urban
character. The increase in residential units, commercial and
industrial projects and major public works facilities would
result in a significant change from existing land use and
result in irreversible loss of open space.
Findings: The City hereby makes finding (1).
Far*S in Support of Findings:
(a) The Facts in Support of Findings 2.4.1, 2.4.2,
2.5.1-2.5.3' and 2.14.1-2.14.3 hereby are incorporated by
reference.
(b) The proposed preservation of approximately 932 acres
of open space as part of the SPA would significantly increase
access to regional open space by providing on-site natural
preserves and recreational opportunities such as hiking trails.
(c) Major projects proposed or approved within the City
are also planning to preserve significant amounts of open
space. These open space areas include 217 acres within the
Ramsgate Specific Plan; 581 acres within the Alberhill Ranch
-43-
Specific Plan; 993 acres within the Cottonwood Hills
development; 726 acres within Tuscany Hills; and 552 acres
within the proposed Laguna Heights development. The combined
open space requirements will result in substantial natural
preservation areas surrounding the City.
2.15.4 Potential Effects on Socioeconomics: Proposed
:.residential projects would significantly increase the housing
supply to help meet the housing demand in the Lake Elsinore
area. Correspondingly, a substantial increase in population
would result. Industrial growth in the area has created more
employment opportunities and is resulting in a need for more
housing.
Findines: The City hereby makes finding (1).

Findings 2.6.1-2.6.3 hereby are incorporated by reference.
<b) Cumulative impacts on the local roadway network can be
mitigated through development of the City's Master Plan of
Arterial Highways.
2.15.6 ;Potential Effects on Noise: Increased noise levels
will result from increased traffic levels on existing, planned
and expanded roadways in the Annexation Area.
Findings: The City hereby makes finding (1).

3. FINDINGS REGARDING ALTERNATIVES.
3.1 NO DEVELOPMENT ALTERNATIVE
3.1.1 Description of Alternative: The Annexation Area would
`not be developed as proposed. It would not be annexed to the
.City, and no additional development would be allowed.
3.1.2 Adverse Impacts After Mitigation: This alternative
'would eliminate the significant adverse impacts of the Project.
3.1.3 Comparison of The Effects of The Alternative to The
Effects of The Project: The City hereby finds that this
alternative is environmentally superior to the Project.
Facts in Suvvort of Findings:
(a) Natural landform features would be preserved, as
grading would not be necessary to modify the terrain for
development.
(b) Site vegetation, including coastal sage scrub and
annual grasslands would continue to exist in a natural state.
Wildlife using these sites, including the Stephens kangaroo rat
would not be displaced or affected.
(c) On-site visual impacts resulting from the development
of the property would not occur.
(d) Because no new traffic would be generated from the
Project site, this alternative would not contribute to
cumulative local or regional air quality impacts.
3.1.4 Effectiveness in Meeting Project Obiectives: This
alternative would not meet the following Specific Plan
objectives:
1. To provide a wide range of housing opportunities.
2
3
5
To create distinct neighborhood identities through the
establishment of villages.
To provide neighborhood commercial uses within the
Specific Plan.
To provide public facilities and improvements
necessary for the build out of the Specific Plan.
-46-
7. To provide sufficient area for both active and passive
recreation in conjunction with open space.
8. To provide a net revenue benefit to the City.
9. To provide on-site employment opportunities.
Facts in Support of Findings:
(a) Maintenance of the Annexation Area in its undeveloped
state would preclude the City from implementing its goals of
planned, balanced development within the City and its planning
area.
3.1.5 Feasibility: The No Development Alternative is not
feasible for social, economic and other reasons.
Facts in Support of FindingH:
<a) It is the goal of the City to expand its boundaries
and accommodate additional population and employment growth
within well-planned developments. Growth pressures within this
area of Riverside County are strong. As a result of such
growth pressures and of the reasonable expectations of the
property owners, it is not feasible to maintain the property as
permanent open space.
(b) While is may be possible to retain the Annexation Area
as open space for a finite period of time, the City does not
have sufficient revenues to purchase the property for
preservation as permanent open space.
3.1.6 Reasons for the City's Decision to Approve the rro~e~
Rather Than This Alternative: The alternative does not meet
Project objectives and is not feasible.
3.2 CLUSTERED ALTERNATIVE
.3.2.1 Description of Alternative: The Clustered
=Alternative, like the Project, would involve the development of
-5,369 residential units in the Annexation Area, along with the
associated commercial and public service uses. However, this
alternative would further cluster the residential units by
retaining the Estate and Rural Residential zones and natural
preserve open space, and increasing the density of these single
family areas from 6 dwelling units per acre to 9.5 dwelling
units per acre (Garden Residential) in the SPA. Commercial and
public land uses would remain the same, except that natural
open space would be increased by 360 acres.
-47-
3.2.2 Adverse Impacts After Mitigation: This alternative,
like the Project, would have significant adverse impacts after
mitigation to biological resources, landform, air quality and
visual resources. These impacts would be as significant as the
.impacts of the Project, except that impacts on biological
resources would be reduced.
3.2.3 Comparison of The Effects of The Alternative to The
Effects of The Proposed Project: The City hereby finds that
this alternative is environmentally superior to the Project,
but only to a minimal degree. Although it would reduce impacts
on biological resources, it would not mitigate such impacts to
below a level of significance.
Facts in Sun~ort of Findings:
(a) Because the developed area would be smaller, an
additional 360 acres of natural open space would be retained
and biological impacts would be reduced. However, significant
adverse impacts to biological resources would remain.
(b) Impacts on landform modification would be reduced or
eliminated in the 360 additional acres designated for open
space. However, additional landform modification probably
would occur in the areas formerly designated for single family
land use due to the increased grading required to accommodate
the increased density. Therefore, significant adverse impacts
to landforms would remain unchanged.
(c) No change in air quality impacts would occur, since
the same number of residences would constructed and the same
number of vehicle trips would be anticipated.
(d) Areas left as open space would have reduced impacts on
visual resources. However, areas of increased density may have
greater impacts on visual resources due to larger structures
and/or additional grading. Therefore, significant adverse
impacts on visual resources would remain unchanged.
3.2.4 EffP~+iveness in Meeting Project Objectives: This
alternative would not meet the following objective of the
Specific Plan:
1. To provide a wide range of housing opportunities.
Facts in S~pvort of Findings:
(a) This alternative would eliminate the rural, estate and
single family density. It would result in the development of
-48-
4,600 units at a density of nine units per acre or greater.
This would eliminate the lower-density elements of the Specific
Plan.
3.2.5 Feasibility: The Clustered Alternative is not
feasible for social and economic reasons.
Facts in Supuort of Findines:
(a) This alternative would result in the development 4,600
units at a density of nine units per acre or greater. There is
no market for such a large number of units at this density.
(b) It is the goal of the City to ensure a mixture of
housing units and to discourage large concentrations of
high-density residential developments. This alternative would
conflict with this goal of the City.
3.2.6 Reasons for the city~s Lecisron Lo rpprvve uic r~~~~~
Rather Than This Alternative: The alternative is not feasrblf
and would not meet one of the goals of the Project. These
factors outweigh the minor reduction in impacts on biological
resources.
3.3 LOWER DENSITY ALTERNATIVE
3.3.1 Description of Alternative: This alternative would
lower the overall residential density of the Annexation Area by
approximately 50%, while holding the area to be developed to
approximately the same boundaries. Average density of
residential units would be reduced to approximately 1.25
dwelling units per acre by reducing densities in all land use
areas except the rural areas proposed in the SPA. Commercial
and public use areas would remain the same.
3.3.2 Adverse Impacts After Mitiga ion: This alternative
would have significant adverse impacts after mitigation to
'biological resources, landforms, air quality and visual
resources. These impacts are the same as those of the Project,
`although impacts on air quality would decrease by an
insignif-icant amount.
3.3.3 Comparison Of The Y;rreCL Oi ine nl~crua~ivc iv ~__~
Effects of The Proposed Proiect: The City hereby frnds that
this alternative is not environmentally superior to the Project.
-49-
Facts:<in Support of Findings:
(a) There would be no reduction in habitat taken;
therefore, impacts on biological resources would be similar to
`the Project. Significant adverse impacts to biological
'resources would remain.
(b) This alternative would involve grading similar to the
Project. Therefore, impacts on landforms would remain the same.
(c) This alternative would cause approximately 30% less
air pollution increase. However, the difference would not be
significant when considered as part of the cumulative
background increase.
(d) Although this 'alternative would result in fewer
houses, significant adverse visual impacts would remain.
3.3.4 Effectiveness in Meeting Project Objectives; This
alternative would not meet the following objective of the
Specific Plan:
1. To provide a wide range of housing opportunities.
Facts in Support of Findings:
(a) This alternative would eliminate the multi-family
density included within the Specific Plan.. It therefore would
reduce opportunities for affordable housing.
3.3.5 Feasibility: The Lower Density Alternative is not
feasible for social, economic and other reasons.
Far+c in S~poort 'of Findings:
(a) .,By decreasing densities, this alternative would also
reduce opportunities for affordable housing.
(b) CEQA limits the authority of local agencies to reduce
-:.residential project densities to mitigate environmental
-impacts, unless mitigation can be achieved in no other way.
This alternative would not mitigate any impacts of the Project
that are not mitigated by other methods.
3.3.7 u°° ins for the City's Decision to Approve the Proiect
Rather Than This Alternative: The alternative is not feasible
and would not meet one of the goals of the Project. It would
decrease the number of residential units and reduce
opportunities for affordable housing. It does not result in
any significant environmental benefits.
-50-
3.4 GENERAL PLAN ALTERNATIVE
3.4.1 DescriQtion of Alternative: This alternative would
allow development consistent with the current County of
Riverside General Plan, limiting development to one dwelling
unit per two acres. Within the SPA, this reduction would be
accomplished by changing all of the development areas of the
SPA to approximately one dwelling unit per acre. Commercial
areas would be eliminated.
3.4.2 Adverse Impacts After Mitigation: This alternative
would slightly reduce significant adverse impacts after
mitigation on landforms, air quality and visual resources.
However, these impacts would remain significant.
3.4.3 CJmparison of The Effect or The Alternatives to 1
Effects of The Proiect: The City hereby finds that this
alternative is environmentally superior to the Project.
Fir+c in Support of Findings:
(a) Since the graded area would be approximately the same,
there would be no change in the amount of habitat taken;
therefore, impacts on biological resources would be the same as
the Project. Significant adverse impacts to biological
resources would remain.
(b) Impacts on landform alteration might be reduced due to
lessened grading to accommodate lower density. However,
significant adverse impacts to landforms would remain.
(c) This alternative would reduce Project emissions by
approximately 85%, resulting in a small decrease .in cumulative
air pollution:
(d) Lower density housing may have a reduced visual
impact. However, significant adverse impacts to visual
resources would remain.
<3.4.4 Effectiveness in Meeting Project Obiectives: This
alternative would not meet the following objectives of the
Specific Plan:
1. To provide a wide range of housing opportunities.
2. To create distinct neighborhood identities through the
establishment of "villages" with internal commercial
services and recreation facilities.

3. To provide neighborhood commercial uses within the
Specific Plan which serve the immediate needs of its
residents, while not conflicting or competing with the
City's downtown development potential.
4. To reduce the number of length of vehicle trips by
including internal commercial services, recreation and
multi-modal transportation links within residential
villages.
7. To provide sufficient area for both active and passive
recreation in conjunction with open space.
8. To provide a net revenue benefit to the City of Lake
Elsinore.
9. To provide on-site employment opportunities.
Facts in S uv~ort of Findings:
(a) This alternative would eliminate all but single family
density housing. Therefore, all goals relating to provision of
a wide range of housing opportunities, providing a mix with
neighborhood commercial uses, reducing .the number and length of
vehicle trips and other goals of the village form of
development would not be meet. It would result in a dispersed
land use pattern.
3.4.5 Feasibility: The General Plan Alternative is not
feasible for social, economic and other reasons.
Fartc in Sunvort of Finding:
(a) By decreasing densities,- this alternative also would
reduce opportunities for affordable housing.
(b) ;-CEQA limits the authority of local agencies to reduce
residential project densities to mitigate environmental
impacts, unless mitigation can be achieved in no other way.

biological resources, landforms, air quality and visual
resources. These impacts would be the same as the impacts of
the Project.
3.5.3 Comparison of The Effects of The Alternative to The
Effects of The Project: The City hereby finds that this
alternative is not environmentally superior to the Project.
Facts in Support of Findings:
(a) This alternative would not reduce the amount of
habitat taken; therefore, impacts on biological resources would
be the same. Significant adverse impacts would result from the
alternative.
(b) Impacts on landforms would not be reduced because the
grading would approximately the same. Significant adverse
impacts to landforms would result from the alternative.
(c) This alternative could result in a slight increase in
cumulative air pollution due to the increase in vehicle miles
travelled to commercial facilities.
(d) This alternative would not change impacts to aesthetic
resources. Significant adverse impacts to visual resources
.would result from the alternative.
3.5.4 Effectiveness in Meeting Project Objectives: This
alternative would not meet the following objectives of the
Specific Plan:
Z. Create villages with internal commercial facilities.
3. Provide neighborhood commercial uses within the
Specific Plan serving the immediate needs of residents.

9. To provide on-site employment opportunities.
3.5.5 Feasibility: The All Residential Alternative is
feasible, although it would have a negative fiscal impact on
the City as a result of eliminating on-site commercial uses.
It would also decrease the job/housing balance of the City.
3.5.6 Reasons for the City's Decision to Approve the Proiect
Rather Than This Alternative: The alternative could increase,
rather than reduce, adverse impacts on the environment. It
would not meet Project objectives, would have a negative fiscal
impact on the City and would decrease the job/housing balance.
3.6 ONE DWELLING UNIT PER TEN ACRES ALTERNATIVE
3.6.1 nPscr~tion of Alternative: This alternative would
limit residential density to an average of one dwelling unit
per ten acres. Within the SPA, this reduction would be
accomplished by changing the proposed 360 acres of rural and
estate areas to natural open space and changing all other
development areas to rural (approximately one dwelling unit per
acre). Commercial and school areas would be correspondingly
reduced for the lower population.
3.6.2 Adverse Impact After Mitiga ion: This alternative
would have reduced but still significant adverse impacts after
mitigation on biological resources, landforms, air quality and
visual resources.
3.6.3 c'ompar ison or ~rne ~rrects or me H1LCilltl l.lVC VV 1uc
Effects of The Proposed Proiect: The City hereby finds that
this alternative is environmentally superior to the Project.
Facts in Suvnort of Findine:
(a) There would be a reduction in habitat taken;
therefore, impacts on biological resources would be reduced
compared to the proposed Project. However, significant adverse
impacts to biological resources. would remain, due to the
removal of habitat.
-54-
(b) Impacts on landforms would be reduced, because 360
additional acres would be preserved and grading would be
decreased. However, significant adverse impacts to landforms
would remain through grading.
<c) This alternative would result in less cumulative air
"pollution increase.
(d) Lower density housing could be seen by some as less of
an impact on visual resources. However, significant adverse
impacts to visual resources would still occur, through the
introduction of development and supporting infrastructure into
an undeveloped area.
3.6.4 Effectiveness in Meeting Project Objectives: This
alternative would not meet the following objectives of the
Specific Plan:
1. To provide a wide range of housing opportunities.
2. Create villages with internal commercial facilities.
3. Provide neighborhood commercial uses within the
Specific Plan serving the immediate needs of residents.
4. Reduce the number and length of vehicle trips by
including internal commercial services.
8. To provide. a net revenue benefit to the City of Lake
Elsinore.
9. To provide on-site employment opportunities.
Facts in S~pvort of Findines:
<a) This alternative would eliminate all uses except rural
density residential. Therefore, all Specific Plan. goals
relating to integrated village and commercial uses would not be
met.
3.6.5 FeasibilitX: The One Dwelling Unit Per Ten Acres
Alternative is not feasible for social, economic and other
reasons.
Facts in SuPnort of Findines:
(a) By decreasing densities, this alternative would also
reduce opportunities for affordable housing.
-55-
(b) CEQA "limits the authority of local agencies to reduce
residential project densities to mitigate environmental
impacts, unless mitigation can be achieved in no other<way.
.This alternative would lessen the impacts of the Project, but
,;would not reduce them to a level of insignificance.
<c) This alternative would be infeasible because the
number of units over which the construction costs for sewer,
`water and street systems would be amortized would be very low,
`thus making the cost of housing units very high. The Project
.would not be able to provide affordable housing or middle
'income housing.
3.6.6 Reasons for the City~s Decision to Approve the rro~
Rather Than This Alternative: The alternative is not feasil
and would not meet Project goals relating to balanced
development. It would eliminate opportunities to provide
affordable and middle income housing.
3.7 RAMSGATE SPECIFIC PLAN OFF-SITE ALTERNATIVE
3.7.1 Descrivtion of Alternative: The Ramsgate site is
located across State Route 74 from the SPA. Because the site
is smaller than the SPA (1,,190 acres) the density of
development would need to be increased to 3.5 dwelling units
per acre to accommodate the 4,200 units proposed for the SPA.
This alternative assumes that the same 205 acres of open space
would be preserved as proposed in the adopted Ramsgate Specific
Plan. Approximately 900 acres would be available for
residential development. The average density within the
development would 4.7 dwelling units per acre. Access would be
primarily from State Route 74.
3.7.2 Adverse Impacts After Mitiga ion: This alternative
would have significant adverse impacts after mitigation on
biological resources, landforms, air quality and visual
resources. These significant adverse impacts would be the same
as the Project.
.3.7.3 comparison or The Lrrects or me Alternative to r
Effects of The Project: The City hereby finds that this
'alternative is not environmentally superior to the Project.
Facts in Support of Findings:
(a) Development of the Ramsgate site would result in a
similar number of acres of habitat impacted, due to the similar
-56-
sizes of the development areas. However, fewer acres of
habitat would be preserved than are proposed under the North
Peak Specific Plan,
(b) Development on the Ramsgate site could have somewhat
reduced impacts on landform alteration, due to the smaller area
and relatively more gentle terrain. However, an increase in
density of development also would increase the need for
landform modification. Therefore, this alternative would have
significant adverse impacts on landforms.
<c) Air quality impacts would be similar to those of the
Project.
(d) Development on the Ramsgate site would have
significant adverse impacts on views from within the site.
This impact is similar to the visual impact of the Project.
3.7.4 Effectiveness in Meeting Project Objectives: This
alternative would not meet the following objective of the
Specific Plan:
1. To provide a wide range of housing opportunities.
Facts in Su~uort of Findings:
(a) The increased density of the site would prevent the
development of rural, estate and some single family homes, as
provided in the Project.
3.7.5 Feasibilitv: The Ramsgate Specific Plan Off-Site
Alternative is not feasible for social and economic reasons.
Facts in Support of Findings:
(a) This alternative would require very small lots or
attached units. In general, there is insufficient ,market
demand for this housing type in the Lake Elsinore area.
(b) It is the goal of the City to avoid large
concentrations of such high-density housing. In December,
1989, the City Council rejected an alternative of increased
density for the Ramsgate. site considered in the Ramsgate
Supplemental EIR.
3.7.6 Reasons for the City's Decision to Approve the Project
Rather Than This Alternative: The alternative would not reduct
significant adverse impacts, would not meet one of the Project
goals and is not feasible.

3.8 LAGUNA HEIGHTS COUNTRY CLUB SPECIFIC PLAN SITE ALTERNATIVE
3.8.1 Descrivtion of Alternative: The Laguna Heights
Country Club site consists of approximately 1,385 acres located
in the County within the sphere of influence of the City. In
order to retain 43% of the site as open space, as proposed in
the Specific Plan application before the City, residential
density would be approximately 5.6 units per acre.
3.8.2 Adverse Facts After Mitigation: This alternative
would have significant adverse impacts after mitigation on
landforms, land use, traffic and circulation, noise, biological
resources and aesthetics/visual resources.
3.8.3 Comparison of The Effects of The Alternative to '1
Effects of The Project: The City hereby finds that this
alternative is not environmentally superior to the Project.
Facts in Support of Finding:
(a) Because of the reduced acreage of this site, there
would be a reduction in habitat taken. In addition, this site
is not located within the known habitat area of the Stephens
kangaroo rat. Therefore, adverse impacts to biological
resources would be reduced. However, significant adverse
impacts would remain.
(b) This site is steeper than the SPA and more extensive
grading would be required. In addition, on-site grading would
be increased to accommodate the increase in density.
Therefore, more significant adverse impacts to landforms than
would occur under the Project .would result from this
alternative.
(c) This alternative would be much denser than existing
surrounding residential developments, potentially causing
unavoidable land use incompatibilities.
<d) The traffic generated. by this alternative would occur
in the areas west of the City, which have higher current
traffic volumes.. In addition, access through existing
residential areas would be required.

(f) Development on the site would have an increased
significant adverse impact on visual resources due to increased
grading.
3.8.4 Effectiveness in Meeting Project Objectives: This
alternative would not meet the following objective of the
'Specific Plan:
1. Provide a wide range of housing opportunities.
Fa~* in Support of Finding:
(a) The high density development on the alternative site
would eliminate the estate, rural and single family lots
proposed for the SPA.
3.8.5 Feasibility: The Laguna Heights Covntry Club Specific
Plan Site Alternative is not feasible for social, economic and
other reasons.
Farts in Support of Findings:
(a) Inquiries of the property owner indicate that this
property is not for sale.
(b) This alternative would require very small lots or
attached units. In general, there is insufficient market
demand for this housing type in the Lake Elsinore area.
Furthermore, it is the goal of the City to avoid large
concentrations of such high-density housing.

Rather Than This Alternative: Although this alternative would
reduce impacts on .biological resources, it would result in
significant adverse impacts in a number of other areas.
Furthermore, it is not feasible.

4. STA'-'FrrF.N'1' OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS .
CEQA requires the City to balance the benefits of the Project
against its unavoidable environmental risks in determining
whether to approve the Project. Because the EIR identifies
significant impacts of the Project which cannot feasibly be
mitigated to below a level of insignificance (see Section 1 of
these Findings), the City must state in writing its specific
reasons for approving the Project. (Guidelines Section 15093.)
This Statement of Overriding Considerations sets forth the
specific reasons supporting the City's action in approving the
Project, based on the EIR and other information in the record.
4.1 It is the goal of the City to provide for growth which
will result in a high-quality living environment for City
residents. The Project will allow for the development of a
master-planned, integrated community, with high standards of
architecture, landscaping, infrastructure and amenities. This
well-planned development will benefit Project residents and the
City as a whole.
4.2 The Project will allow the development of a balanced
community, incorporating housing units for a range of income
levels as well as commercial, public use and. recreational
facilities.
4.3 The development of three villages in the North Peak SPA
will encourage walking and bicycling and decrease the need for
long vehicle trips. Upon reviewing the EIR, the Southern
California Association of Governments concluded that this
design concept is "highly commendable since it is conducive to
reduced motorized vehicular use and promotes alternative forms
of non-motorized commuting." As a result, the North Peak
project design diminishes adverse impacts on air quality.
4.4 The Project will generate 1,666 new jobs, thereby
assisting the economy of the City and improving the City's
job/housing balance. Upon reviewing the EIR, the Southern
California Association of Governments concluded that -the
Project "will provide a mix of land uses which is consistent
with the job/housing balance of the regional Growth Management
Plan. The project will generate 1,666 new jobs, which is
in excess of what is required to be consistent with the Growth
Management Policy."
4.5 The Project will provide substantial open space and
recreational opportunities for residents of the Project, the
City and the region. Within the North Peak SPA alone,
-60-
,,
,,
:..,
approximately 50 acres of active-use parks, 640 acres of open
space and a 230-acre Nature Park will be dedicated. In
addition, equestrian and hiking trails will be connected to
regional trails.
4.6 The Project will contribute substantial expenditures to
on- and off-site public facilities and improvements. These
improvements include participation in the widening of
Highway 74 and in the Highway 74/Interstate 15 interchange,
preparation of a master landscaping plan for Highway 74,
participation in the improvement of Nichols Canyon Road, the
construction of a connection between E1 Toro Road and
Highway 74, the construction of sewer mains, water mains and
onsite water reservoirs, reservation of three school sites and
participation in the construction of afire station.
4.7 Upon buildout, the Project will provide the City with
substantial revenues from increased property taxes.
