NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Lake Elsinore DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE as follows:
SECTION 1. The City Council has considered the proposed Specific Plan No. 92-4,
Amendment No. I, prior to making a decision to approve the proposed amendment to the La
Laguna Specific Plan. The City Council finds and determines that Amendment No. 1 to the La
Laguna Estates Specific Plan does not propose substantial changes to the Plan that would cause
significant environmental effects. The proposed replacement of product is actually a
deintensification of land use, resulting in less impact to the environment. No new significant
environmental effects, nor an increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects,
are anticipated.
No new information of substantial importance has come forward with respect to significant
effects or alternative mitigation measures that have not been incorporated into Amendment No.
1. The Mitigation Monitoring Program already applicable to the project site has been updated to
include current federal, state and City guidelines and requirements.
