DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council has reviewed and analyzed the Project prior to
making a decision to approve Residential Design Review No. 2014 -02 for a single -
family detached residential development.
SECTION 2. The City Council 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.

Lake Elsinore Municipal Code, the City Council makes the following findings regarding

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.

balanced and functional mix of residential, commercial, industrial, open space,
recreational and institutional land uses.

directives contained in the East Lake Specific Plan Amendment No. 6 and all
applicable provisions of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code.

onsite landscaping have been provided thereby creating interest and varying
vistas. In addition, safe and efficient circulation has been achieved onsite.

residential development is not anticipated to result in any significant adverse
