Code and finds and determines that the proposed zone changes are 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.

environmental effects of the Project. Because Zone Change No. 2014 -04 implements
the General Plan with the appropriate zoning districts for development within the
Riverview and Country Club Heights Districts of the City, no additional environmental
review is required.
SECTION 3. That in accordance with the State Planning and Zoning Law, the
Planning Commission hereby makes the following findings for the approval of Zone
Change No. 2014 -04:
1. The proposed zone changes 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 zone changes or within the City, or b) injurious to
the property or improvements in the neighborhood or within the City.
a. The proposed zone change implements the General Plan adopted
December 13, 2011; which was analyzed relative to its potential to
have detrimental effects.
b. The proposed zone change will eliminate inconsistencies with the
adopted General Plan.
C. The proposed zone change will be beneficial to the public health,
safety, comfort and welfare and will improve property in the
neighborhood and the City by allowing a variety of commercial,
public /institutional, and residential uses to be established in the
Riverview and Country Club Heights Districts within the City.
2. The proposed zone change will permit reasonable development of the area
consistent with its constraints and will make the area more compatible with
adjacent properties.
a. The R -H Hillside Single- Family Residential Zone provides the best
opportunity for property owners to utilize their land and to blend with
existing neighborhoods where legally subdivided lots are narrow and
constrained by steep slopes.
3. The proposed zone changes would implement a land use density, intensity and
usage more in character with the subject property's location, access, and
constraints consistent with the adopted General Plan and subsequent text
amendments to the zoning code.
a. The proposed zone change takes into consideration existing
development as well as vacant properties.
4. The proposed zone change implements the goals of the Riverview and Country
Club Heights Districts.
a. Public /Institutional uses are appropriately zoned and identified.
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2014 -38
PAGE 3 of 9
b. Impacts to hillsides are minimized in the Riverview and Country Club
Heights Districts.
5. The proposed zone changes will not have a significant effect on the
environment.
a. The potential impacts of the General Plan have been analyzed in the
Recirculated Environmental Impact Report (SCH #2005121019)
prepared for the City of Lake Elsinore General Plan ( "General Plan
EIR') and its related cases which was certified on December 13, 2011,
and adequate mitigation measures have been prepared where
necessary. Accordingly, the impacts of the proposed zone change
have been disclosed, analyzed and mitigated to the extent feasible in
the General Plan EIR. A copy of the General Plan EIR is available for
inspection in the City of Lake Elsinore Community Development
Department, 130 S. Main Street, Lake Elsinore, CA.
SECTION 4. Based upon the evidence presented, both written and testimonial
and such other matters as reflected in the record, and the above findings, the Planning
