and so long as no mandatory element of the General Plan is amended more frequently
than four times during any calendar year; and
WHEREAS, this General Plan Amendment is part of the City's Third (3'd) cycle of
amendments to the Lake Elsinore General Plan Land Use Map for the 2007 calendar
year; and
WHEREAS, after considering the General Plan Amendment at a regular meeting
held on October 16, 2007, the Planning Commission of the City of Lake Elsinore
recommended that the City Council approve General Plan Amendment No. 2007 -05;
and
WHEREAS, public notice of the General Plan Amendment has been given and
the City Council has considered the Planning Commission's recommendation and
evidence presented by the Community Development Department and other interested
parties at a public hearing held with respect to this item on November 13, 2007.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE,
CALIFONIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council has considered the proposed General Plan
Amendment prior to making a decision. The City Council finds and determines that the
General Plan Amendment comports with the goals and policies of the Lake Elsinore
General Plan and the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code. Moreover, the General Plan
Amendment comports with the requirements of the California Planning and Zoning Law.
Lastly, the City Council finds and determines that Negative Declaration No. 2007 -03 is
adequate and prepared in accordance with the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
SECTION 2. That in accordance with the California Planning and Zoning Law
and the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code, the City Council hereby makes the following
findings for the approval of General Plan Amendment No. 2007 -05:
1
I . The proposed General Plan Amendment will not be: a) detrimental to the health,
safety, comfort or general welfare of the persons residing or working within the
neighborhood of the proposed amendment or within the City, or b) injurious to the
property or improvements in the neighborhood or within the City.
The proposed General Plan Amendment has been analyzed relative to its
potential to be detrimental to the health, safety, comfort and welfare of the
persons residing or working within the neighborhood of the proposed
amendment. The proposed land use designations of Very Low Density
Residential, Mountainous, and Open Space are consistent with the County's
General Plan Land Use designations.
2. The proposed General Plan Amendment will permit reasonable development of
the area consistent with its constraints and will make the area more compatible
with adjacent properties.
The proposed land use designations of Very Low Density Residential,
Mountainous, and Open Space are consistent with the County's General Plan
Land Use designations. Therefore, there is little or no change to the anticipated
land use for the site.
3. The proposed General Plan Amendment would establish a land use density and
usage more in character with the subject property's location, access, and
constraints.
The General Plan Amendment proposes a boundary adjustment and the
proposed land use designations of Very Low Density Residential, Mountainous,
and Open Space are consistent with the County's General Plan Land Use
designations.
4. The proposed General Plan Amendment will not have a significant effect on the
environment.
The General Plan Amendment does not propose any significant change to
existing land use designations and will not result in any significant environmental
impacts as explained in Negative Declaration No. 2007 -03.
SECTION 3. Based upon all of the evidence presented, both written and
testimonial, and the above findings, the City Council hereby approves General Plan
Amendment No. 2007 -05.
SECTION 4. This resolution shall take effect from and after the date of its
passage and adoption.
