GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING STUDIES
WHEREAS, the City of Lake Elsinore General Plan and Zoning Code (Title 17 of the
Municipal Code) presently allows multi-family residential projects subject to certain regulations
within certain areas so designated on the Land Use Map of the General Plan and the zoning maps
of the City; and
WHEREAS, recent applications for such use has caused elected and appointed officials,
staff, adjacent existing residential uses and the community at large to express concern about the
impacts of such use on the health, safety and welfare of the surrounding uses and the general
public at large and request consideration of the appropriateness of the locations of such land uses
as designated and the regulations related thereto; and
WHEREAS, such health, safety and welfare concerns include the impacts on the
residential neighborhoods, and businesses adjacent thereto; and the impacts on the City's
transportation system and public services resulting from the high density of such projects, the
impact on property values adjacent thereto and the ability to provide services for the project
itself; and
WHEREAS, as a consequence, there is a current and immediate threat to the public
health, safety, and welfare as described and that the approval of any entitlement for such use
which are required in order to comply with the existing General Plan or ordinance would result
in that threat to the public health, safety, and welfare.
