Project Description
The proposed single -story residential duplex will have a mirror design which will include
three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, a dining room, a living room, an attached two
car garage, and a porch entry. The duplex along with the attached garages will have total
lot coverage of approximately 37 %, the landscape area will be 21 %, and the paved area
will be 35 % percent. The duplex will have a 12 foot wide driveway that will be accessed
from Poe Street and the garages have been strategically designed to have a side entry to
eliminate the garage door from becoming the dominating architectural feature facing the
street.
The applicant is also the owner of the adjacent lot where there is an existing dwelling unit.
However, the existing dwelling unit was developed over the property line. Therefore, in
order to allow the proposed duplex a lot line adjustment will have to be process, so that a
minimum of a five foot setback is maintain between the existing dwelling unit and the new
property line. As part of the required lot line adjustment the applicant will have to provide a
two car garage as well as a driveway to bring the existing dwelling unit into compliance and
it will also be set as part of the conditions of approval for this project.

Architecture /Colors and Materials
The project site is located within the City's Historic Overlay District. The architecture of any
new residence in the Historic Overlay District is required to meet the design guidelines
presented in the Historic Elsinore Architectural Design Standards which were adopted in
1993 and amended in 1994. The Historic Standards require that new residential
construction have elements of various 1920's styles including Bungalow, Craftsman, and
Prairie. The architectural design proposed reflects a Craftsman Architectural style, which is
complemented by a porch entry with wood post, porch railings representative of that era, a
decorative stone veneer at the front elevation. Therefore the design meets the intent of the
Architectural Design Standards.
Landscaping and fencing
The applicant provided a Preliminary Landscape Plan that proposes treatments along the
driveway, at the front and rear yards of the property. The applicant is proposing two 24"
box Hybrid Plum (Prunus Bilireina) and two 15 gal. Crape Myrtle (Lagerstroemia Indica)
trees, grass cover and decorative shrubs throughout the property. The existing chain link
fence will be replaced by a new six -foot high wood fence along the perimeter of the
property starting outside the 20' -0" front yard setback.
Analysis
The proposed residential duplex meets the requirements of the Lake Elsinore Municipal
Code (LEMC) and the Historic Elsinore Architectural Design Standards. Additionally, this
development will meet or exceed the quality of the existing homes in the area.
Environmental Determination
Staff has determined that the proposed project is exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act (Cal. Publ. Res. Code § §21000 et seq.: "CEQA ") and the State CEQA
Guidelines (14. Cal. Code Regs § §15000 et seq.), specifically pursuant to Section 15332
(Class 32 — In -Fill Development Projects) because the Project is consistent with the
applicable General Plan designation and policies, as well as zoning designation and
regulations, the Project is within the City's boundaries and on a site less than five acres
surrounded by urban uses, the Property has no value as habitat, and approval of the
Project will not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water
quality and the Project is adequately served by all required utilities and public services.

achieve quality and compatibility in the physical design of the developing
portions of the City, and serves to enhance the existing developed areas
within the General Plan designation Medium Density Residential (MDR).
2. The Project complies with the design directives contained in the General
Plan and all other applicable provisions of the Lake Elsinore Municipal

addition, safe and efficient circulation has been achieved onsite.
The proposed Residential Design Review is appropriate to the site and
surrounding developments in that the residential duplex project has
provided; a fifteen foot (15) front yard setback, given that it has provided a
side entry garage, including private open spaces; sufficient front and rear
yard landscaping and safe and sufficient on -site vehicular circulation.

articulation pursuant to the "Historic Elsinore Design Guidelines'; such as,
tile roof material, smooth stucco walls, porch entry with wood railing and
decorative columns, and wood doors.
