Background
The East Lake Specific Plan (ELSP) was adopted by Ordinance No. 955 by the City
Council in June 1993. The Plan consists of 3,000 acres and was originally divided into
three individual districts that included a Marina District, Lakeside Resort, and Recreation
Village. Several Amendments have been made to the East Lake Specific Plan. The
first two amendments changed the central area or Phase One of the Specific Plan. The
changes primarily reduced the number of residential units and commercial uses and
added the allowance of a golf course to the open space area of the plan. Phase One is
the development area where the commonly known "Laing Homes" project is located.
Two other amendments, Amendment No. 3 and No. 4, were related to industrial
development along Corydon Avenue which are both outside of Phase One.
Amendment No. 5 is the marina development located on Lakeshore Drive, known as
Waters Edge.
Laing Homes processed East Lake Specific Plan Amendment No. 6 which was adopted
by the City Council on July 24, 2004. This amendment replaced multi - family uses with
single - family uses, provided several parks and added a 165 -acre golf course, club
house, and maintenance and golf cart storage facility.
The project before the Planning Commission is identified as "Ryland at Summerly"
(Ryland Homes). Lots in this neighborhood range in size from 5,500 square feet to
10,641 square feet with an average lot size of 6,704 square feet.
Description of Residential Design Review No. 2014 -04
The following describes the various design components and features of the proposed
project, including floor plans, architecture, model home complex, preliminary plotting of
production units, and the conceptual wall and fence plan.

Floor Plans For Ryland Residences
The proposed 64 -unit project would offer three different plans, which are described as
follows:
1. Plan 1: Two -story 2,579 square foot units (options up to 3,033 square feet) with
three bedrooms; 2.5 baths; great room; dining room, kitchen, nook, laundry, teen
room (option 4th bedroom), den (option 5th bedroom) and three -car tandem garage
(option 6th bedroom or media room).
2. Plan 2: Two -story 2,862 square foot units (options up to 2,801 square feet) with four
bedrooms; 3.5 baths; family room; dining room (option den), kitchen, nook, laundry,
study (option 5th bedroom), teen room (option 7th bedroom), and three -car tandem
garage (option 6th bedroom).
3. Plan 3: Two -story 3,150 square foot units with four bedrooms; 3 baths; great room;
dining room, formal dining room, kitchen, laundry, loft (option 5th bedroom), and
three -car tandem garage (option 6th bedroom suite).
Architecture and Treatments For Woodside Residences
The proposed project would offer three architectural styles and treatments for each of
the floor plans, including Spanish, Tuscan and Craftsman. The following describes
each of these architectural styles:
• The Spanish Style includes concrete "S" tile roofs, decorative wrought iron & clay
pipes, shutters, stucco window trim, and arched entries.
• The Tuscan Architectural Style includes concrete "S" tile roofs, projected
wainscoting stone veneer, decorative shutters, wood corbels, and vertical windows
with stucco trim.
• The Craftsman Architectural Style includes concrete flat tile roofs, siding accents at
front gable ends, wood outlookers, pot shelves, decorative shutters, vertical windows
with stucco trim, columns and stone veneer.
It should also be noted that enhanced, four -sided architectural treatments in the form of
window surrounds will be provided for all the proposed residences as a standard
feature.
Model Home Complex
The project proposes a three lot model home complex. The model home complex will
be located off of First Green. The proposed complex provides a designated handicap
RDR No. 2014 -04 FOR RYLAND HOMES AT SUMMERLY
JUNE 17, 2014
PAGE 4 OF 5
access space, full landscape and hardscape improvements, trees, and shrubs.
Conceptual Wall and Fence Plan
To ensure design consistency, the Conceptual Wall and Fence Plan for the project
shows that those similar walls and fences that are provided elsewhere in the Summerly
area will continue to be provided with the proposed project. Perimeter walls will be
decorative block with pilasters to match the existing Summerly development. Front
returns will be six -foot concrete block walls.
Analysis
City Planning and Engineering staff have reviewed the requested Design Review
application and have no concerns. Staff believes that the project's architecture;
amenities and improvements; landscaping; and walls and fences have resulted in a
well- designed residential project and are consistent with the design amenities and
features previously approved in the immediate area. In addition, the project is
compatible with the overall East Lake Specific Plan area and those existing and future
developments that neighbor the project site.
Environmental Determination
CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 establishes the standard to be used when determining
whether subsequent environmental documentation is necessary. Section 15162 states
that when an environmental document has already been adopted for a project, no
subsequent environmental documentation is needed for subsequent entitlements which
comprise the whole of the action unless substantial changes or new information are
presented by the project.
A Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) was approved and adopted in
2004 for the East Lake Specific Plan Amendment No. 6 (SHC #2003071050). The
SEIR evaluated environmental impacts that would result from maximum build -out of the
Specific Plan, The Project does not present substantial changes or new information
regarding the potential environmental impacts of development. Therefore, no additional
CEQA documentation is necessary.

RESOLUTION NO. 2014-
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LAKE
ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE ADOPT FINDINGS THAT RESIDENTIAL
DESIGN REVIEW NO. 2014 -04 IS CONSISTENT WITH THE WESTERN
RIVERSIDE COUNTY MULTIPLE SPECIES HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN
(MSHCP)
WHEREAS, Ryland Homes, has filed an application with the City of Lake
Elsinore requesting approval of Residential Design Review No. 2014 -04 for the
construction of a 64 single - family detached residential development including a model
home complex and associated improvements for property within the East Lake Specific
Plan Amendment No. 6 (the "Project "); and
WHEREAS, Section 6.0 of the MSHCP requires that all discretionary projects
within an MSHCP criteria cell undergo the Lake Elsinore Acquisition Process ( "LEAP ")
and Joint Project Review ( "JPR ") to analyze the scope of the proposed development
and establish a building envelope that is consistent with the MSHCP criteria; and
WHEREAS, Section 6.0 of the MSHCP further requires that the City of Lake
Elsinore adopt consistency findings demonstrating that the proposed discretionary
entitlement complies with the MSCHP cell criteria, and the MSCHP goals and
objectives; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Lake Elsinore Municipal Code Section 17.184, requests
for design review are discretionary actions to be considered, reviewed, and approved,
conditionally approved or denied by the Lake Elsinore City Council; and
WHEREAS, the East Lake Specific Plan Amendment No. 6 is partially covered
by two distinct MSHCP criteria cells: approximately three (3) acres of the East Lake
Specific Plan Amendment No. 6 are within cell 4846 and approximately three tenths
(0.3) of an acre are within cell 4937; and
WHEREAS, the Project site within the boundaries of East Lake Specific Plan
Amendment No. 6 that are covered by the aforementioned cell sites; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission considered evidence presented by the
Community Development Department and other interested parties at a duly noticed
public hearing held with respect to the Project on June 17, 2014.
NOW THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LAKE
ELSINORE DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The Planning Commission has considered the Project and its
consistency with the MSHCP prior to recommending that the City Council adopt
Findings of Consistency with the MSHCP.
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2014-
PAGE 2 OF 5
SECTION 2. That in accordance with the MSHCP, the Planning Commission
makes the following findings for MSHCP consistency:
1. The Project is a project under the City's MSHCP Resolution, and the City must
make an MSHCP Consistency finding before approval.
Pursuant to the City's MSHCP Resolution, the Project must be reviewed for
MSHCP consistency, which review shall include an analysis of the Project's
consistency with other "Plan Wide Requirements." The Project is located within
the East Lake Specific Plan (ELSP) area, specifically within the ELSP
Amendment No. 6 area. Prior to the City's adoption of the MSHCP, there were a
series of meetings between the County of Riverside, U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, and California Department of Fish and Game to discuss conservation
measures within the ELSP and to decide how to ensure development within the
ELSP could proceed consistently with the MSHCP and with the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers Section 404 permit. It was determined that a target acreage of 770
acres was warranted for MSHCP conservation in the back basin area of the City.
The Project site is within the ELSP and is covered by that conservation
agreement. Part of the conservation agreement also included a requirement that
projects in the back basin area be consistent with the other "Plan Wide
Requirements" set forth in the following sections of the MSHCP: Protection of
Species Associated with Riparian /Riverine Areas and Vernal Pool Guidelines
(MSHCP, § 6.1.2), Protection of Narrow Endemic Plant Species Guidelines
(MSHCP, § 6.1.3), Additional Survey Needs and Procedures (MSHCP, § 6.3.2),
Urban/Wildlands Interface Guidelines (MSHCP, § 6.1.4), Vegetation Mapping
(MSHCP, § 6.3. 1) requirements, Fuels Management Guidelines (MSHCP, § 6.4),
and payment of the MSHCP Local Development Mitigation Fee (MSHCP
Ordinance, § 4). The Project has been reviewed in light of these sections and is
consistent therewith.
2. The Project is subject to the City's LEAP and the County's Joint Project Review
processes.
The ELSP MSCHP consistency determination was submitted to the County of
Riverside in October 2003, prior to the initiation of the City's LEAP and County's
Joint Project Review process. Nevertheless, both the City and Dudek (acting on
behalf of the County) agreed that the Project was consistent with the MSHCP
due to the extensive acreage set aside for conservation. The Project has not
been modified and was part of the overall ELSP which has been determined to
be consistent with the MSHCP.
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2014-
PAGE 3 OF 5
3. The Project is consistent with the Riparian /Riverine Areas and Vernal Pools
Guidelines.
The previously approved ELSP Amendment No. 6 was determined to be
consistent with the Riparian /Riverine and Vernal Pool Guidelines as set forth in
MSHCP § 6.1.2. The scope and nature of the Project have not been modified
from that which was previously approved and is therefore consistent with the
Riparian /Riverine Areas and Vernal Pools Guidelines.
4. The Project is consistent with the Protection of Narrow Endemic Plant Species
Guidelines.
The previously approved ELSP Amendment No. 6 was consistent with the
Protection of Narrow Endemic Plant Species Guidelines as set forth in MSHCP §
6.1.3. The Project has not been modified from that which was previously
approved under the ELSP Amendment No. 6. Additionally, based upon prior
approvals, the entire Project site has been graded and any plant species which
may have existed on the site have been removed and replaced with
development. It is for these reasons that the Project is consistent with the
aforementioned guidelines.
5. The Project is consistent with the Additional Survey Needs and Procedures.
The previously approved ELSP Amendment No. 6 was consistent with the
Additional Survey Needs and Procedures as set forth in MSHCP § 6.3.2. The
Project has not been modified from that which was previously approved under
the ELSP Amendment No. 6, and the entire project site has been graded
pursuant to previously issued permits. The Project is consistent with the
Additional Survey Needs and Procedures of the MSHCP.
6. The Project is consistent with the Urban/Wildlands Interface Guidelines.
The previously approved ELSP Amendment No. 6 was consistent with the
Urban/Wildlands Interface Guidelines as set forth in MSHCP § 6.1.4. Because
the Project has not been modified from that which was previously approved
under the ELSP Amendment No. 6, no further MSHCP review is necessary and
the Project is consistent with the Urban/Wildlands Interface Guidelines.
7. The Project is consistent with the Vegetation Mapping requirements.
The previously approved ELSP Amendment No. 6 was consistent with the
Vegetation Mapping requirements as set forth in MSHCP § 6.3.1. Mapping was
conducted as part of the biological surveys for the original project. The Project
has not been modified from that which was previously approved and therefore is
consistent with the Vegetation Mapping requirements.
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2014 -
PAGE 4 OF 5
8. The Project is consistent with the Fuels Management Guidelines.
The previously approved ELSP Amendment No. 6 was consistent with the Fuels
Management Guidelines as set forth in MSHCP, § 6.4. The Project site is not
within or adjacent to conservation areas where the Fuels Management
Guidelines would be required. The Project has not been modified from that
which was previously approved and therefore is consistent with the Fuel
Management Guidelines.
9. The Project overall is consistent with the MSHCP.
As stated in Finding No. 1 above, the Project is within the ELSP area which has
previously been determined to be consistent with the MSHCP.
SECTION 3. Based upon all of the evidence presented, the above findings, and
the conditions of approval imposed upon the Project, the Planning Commission hereby
recommends that the City Council find that the Project is consistent with the MSHCP.
SECTION 4. This Resolution shall take effect from and after the date of its
passage and adoption.

THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE APPROVAL OF RESIDENTIAL DESIGN
REVIEW NO. 2014 -04
WHEREAS, Ryland Homes, has filed an application with the City of Lake
Elsinore requesting approval of Residential Design Review No. 2014 -04 for the
construction of a 64 single - family detached residential development including a model
home complex and associated improvements for property located within the East Lake
Specific Plan Amendment No. 6 (the "Project "); and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Lake Elsinore has been
delegated with the responsibility of making recommendations to the City Council for
residential design review applications within the East Lake Specific Plan; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res.
Code §§ 21000 et seq.: "CEQA ") and the State Guidelines for Implementation of CEQA
(14 C.C.R. §§ 15000 et seq.: "CEQA Guidelines "), public agencies are expressly
encouraged to reduce delay and paperwork associated with the implementation of
CEQA by using previously prepared environmental documents when those previously
prepared documents adequately address the potential impacts of the proposed project
(CEQA Guidelines Section 15006); and
WHEREAS, CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 establishes the standard to be
used when determining whether subsequent environmental documentation is necessary
and says that when an environmental document has already been adopted for a project,
no subsequent environmental documentation is needed for subsequent entitlements
which comprise the whole of the action unless substantial changes or new information

public hearing held with respect to the Project on June 17, 2014.
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2014-
PAGE 2 OF 4
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LAKE
ELSINORE DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The Planning Commission has considered the Project prior to
making a decision to recommend that the City Council approve Residential Design
Review No. 2014 -04 for a single - family detached residential development.
SECTION 2. The Planning Commission finds and determines that no new CEQA
documentation is necessary. The Project comprises the whole of the action which was
analyzed in the previously approved and certified Supplemental Environmental Impact
Report (SCH # 2003071050) for the East Lake Specific Plan Amendment No. 6.
Approval of the Project will not change density or intensity of use; it simply establishes
standards for color palates, articulation, orientation, and design of single family
residential development. Therefore, no further environmental review is necessary.
SECTION 3. That in accordance with State Planning and Zoning Law and the
Lake Elsinore Municipal Code, the Planning Commission makes the following findings
regarding Residential Design Review No. 2014 -04:
1. The single - family detached residential development, as approved, will comply
with the goals and objectives of the General Plan, Specific Plan and the Zoning
District in which it is located.
The single- family detached residential development complies with the goals and
objectives of the General Plan and the East Lake Specific Plan Amendment No.
6. The single family homes will assist in achieving the development of a well -
balanced and functional mix of residential, commercial, industrial, open space,
recreational and institutional land uses.
2. The single - family detached residential development complies with the design
directives contained in the East Lake Specific Plan Amendment No. 6 and all
applicable provisions of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code.
The single- family detached residential development is appropriate to the site and
surrounding developments. The three (3) architectural styles proposed will
create a distinctive street scene within the project site. Sufficient setbacks and
onsite landscaping have been provided thereby creating interest and varying
vistas. In addition, safe and efficient circulation has been achieved onsite.
3. Subject to the attached conditions of approval, the single - family detached
residential development is not anticipated to result in any significant adverse
environmental impacts.
The single- family detached residential development, as reviewed and
conditioned by all applicable City divisions, departments and agencies, will not
have a significant effect on the environment. Approval of the design for the
single- family detached residential development will not result in a substantial
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2014-

change to the previously adopted Supplemental Environmental Impact Report.
Therefore, no additional environmental review is necessary.
4. Conditions and safeguards pursuant to Chapter 17.184.070 of the Municipal
Code, including guarantees and evidence of compliance with conditions, have
been incorporated into the approval of the Project to ensure development of the
property in accordance with the objectives of Chapter 17.184.
Pursuant to Section 17.184.070 of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code, the Project
