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; and
