the approval of Amendment No. 1 to the Village at Lakeshore Specific Plan No. 2005 -01

1. The location and design of the proposed development shall be consistent with the
goals and policies of the City's General Plan and with any other applicable plan or
policies adopted by the City.

Specific Plan criteria for content and required implementation of the General Plan
established by Section 65450 et se p. of the California Government Code and
Section 17.204 of the City of Lake Elsinore Municipal Code. Accordingly, the
proposed Specific Plan Amendment complies with the objectives of the General
Plan and the purpose of the planning district in which the site is located.
2. The proposed location shall allow the development to be well- integrated with or
adequately buffered from its surroundings, whichever may be the case.
The proposed detached single- family residential dwelling units as described by the
proposed amended Specific Plan provide residential development with that is
consistent with the previously developed adjacent areas.
3. All vehicular traffic generated by the development, either in phased increments or
at full build -out, is to be accommodated safely and without causing undue
congestion upon adjoining streets.
The width and type of pavement needed to carry the type and quantity of traffic
that will be generated due to implementation of Amendment No. 1 of the Village at

conditioned the Project to be served by roads of adequate capacity and design
standards to provide reasonable access by car, truck, transit and bicycle.

methodology(s) to allow land uses to be adequately serviced by existing or

be dedicated or reserved by private covenant for the common use of residents,
establishments or operations in the development.

The Amendment No. 1 to the Village at Lakeshore Specific Plan identifies
necessary streets and circulation to support the proposed land use allocations, as
well as all necessary wet and dry utilities for proper and adequate infrastructure
services. The applicant/developer shall develop adequate internal recreational
facilities and pay in -lieu fees that will offset any impacts to the community.
5. The overall design of Amendment No. 1 to the Village at Lakeshore Specific Plan
No. 2005 -01 (SPA 2014 -02) will produce an attractive, efficient and stable
development.
All applicable City Departments and Agencies have been afforded the opportunity
for a thorough review of the Amendment No 1 to the Village at Lakeshore Specific
Plan and all applicable comments and /or conditions related to installation and
maintenance of landscaping, street dedications, regulations of points of vehicular
ingress and egress and control of potential nuisances have been implemented, so
as to eliminate any negative impacts to the general health, safety, comfort, or
general welfare of the surrounding neighborhood or the City.
6. In accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), impacts have been reduced to a less than significant level, or in the case
where impacts remain, a statement of overriding considerations must be adopted
to justify the merits of project implementation.

2006017027) was adopted by the City Council on September 12, 2006. The MND
adequately addressed the potential impacts of the proposed and approved project.
In accordance with Section 15162 of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) Guidelines, the proposed amendments to previously approved projects do
not present substantial changes or reveal new information that would require
Subsequent or Supplemental CEQA analysis. However, some changes or
additions to the information contained in the adopted Mitigated Negative
Declaration is necessary in order to approve the proposed project. For this reason
an Addendum to the Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared. The
combined mitigation measures included in Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND)
No. 2006 -05 (State Clearinghouse No. 2006017027) and the Addendum
adequately reduce any potential significant impacts to levels of less than significant
impacts, thus no additional environmental analysis is warranted.
