Page 2 of 4
SECTION 1. The City Council has reviewed and analyzed the proposed General
Plan Amendment pursuant to the California Planning and Zoning Laws (Cal. Gov. Code
§§ 65000 et seq.), the Lake Elsinore General Plan and the Lake Elsinore Municipal
Code and finds and determines that the proposed General Plan Amendment is
consistent with the requirements of California Planning and Zoning Law and with the
goals and policies of the Lake Elsinore General Plan and the Lake Elsinore Municipal
Code.
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. 2014 -02:
1. 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 amendments or within the City, or b) injurious to
the property or improvements in the neighborhood or within the City.
a. The proposed General Plan Amendment has been analyzed relative to
their potential to have detrimental effects to ensure that the health,
safety and welfare of surrounding residents will be protected.
b. The addition of the `R -H Hillside Single - Family Residential Zone" as a
compatible zone in the "Hillside Residential' designation on the
General Plan/Zoning Compatibility Matrix (Appendix 8) serves to
acknowledge the development constraints in hillside areas of the City,
serves to minimize development impacts in hillside areas, and serves
to provide an opportunity for single - family residential development with
reasonable standards.
C. The designation of existing water tanks and facilities owned by the
Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District as "Public /Institutional'
acknowledges and promotes such uses within the Country Club
Heights District.
d. The designation of properties with existing `R -E Estate Single- Family
Residential' zoning at the northeast corner of Lakeshore Drive and
Dryden as "low Density Residential' recognizes a viable developed
neighborhood within the Country Club Heights District, and promotes
its continued use and density.
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.
CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 2014 -071
Page 3 of 4
a. The addition of the "R -H Hillside Single- Family Residential Zone" as a
compatible zone in the "Hillside Residential" designation on the
General Plan/Zoning Compatibility Matrix (Appendix B) provides a
zoning option in the Hillside designation where zoning alternatives are
few. The R -H Zone is a superior zone in the Riverview and Country
Club Heights Districts where legally subdivided lots are narrow and
constrained by steep slopes. The R -H Zone has the least restrictive
development standards that allow the construction of single- family
residences while recognizing the attributes of hillside areas, thereby
providing the best opportunity for property owners to utilize their land
and to blend with existing neighborhoods in the area.
3. The proposed General Plan Amendment would establish a land use densities,
intensities and usage more in character with the subject property's location,
access, and constraints.
a. The proposed General Plan Amendment recognizes residential land
use densities that are compatible with surrounding development.
4. The proposed General Plan Amendment will not have a significant effect on the
environment.
SECTION 3. Based upon the evidence presented, both written and testimonial,
and the above findings, the City Council hereby approves General Plan Amendment No.
2014 -02, and incorporating the amendment into the General Plan as shown on attached
Exhibits 'A' through 'C' attached herein:
