CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE ANNEX LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN APRIL 2012 Prepared by: Rick DeSantiago Emergency Services Coordinator CONTACT INFORMATION CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE NAME: Rick DeSantiago TITLE: Emergency Services Coordinator ADDRESS: 130 S. Main Street CITY, STATE AND ZIP: Lake Elsinore, CA 92530 DIRECT CONTACT: 951 - 674 -3124 FAX: 951 - 471 -1251 EMAIL: rdsantiago @lake- elsinore.org LAKE ELSINORE -ANNEX LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN APRIL 2012 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this local hazard mitigation plan is to identify the County's hazards, review and assess past disaster occurrences, estimate the probability of future occurrences and set goals to mitigate potential risks to reduce or eliminate long -term risk to people and property from natural and man -made hazards. The plan was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 to achieve eligibility and potentially secure mitigation funding through Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Mitigation Assistance, Pre - Disaster Mitigation, and Hazard Mitigation Grant Programs. Riverside County's continual efforts to maintain a disaster - mitigation strategy is on- going. Our goal is to develop and maintain an all- inclusive plan to include all jurisdictions, special districts, businesses and community organizations to promote consistency, continuity and unification. The County's planning process followed a methodology presented by FEMA and CAL - EMA which included conducting meetings with the Operational Area Planning Committee (OAPC) coordinated by Riverside County Fire — Office of Emergency Services comprised of participating Federal, State and local jurisdictions agencies, special districts, school districts, non - profit communities, universities, businesses, tribes and general public. The plan identifies vulnerabilities, provides recommendations for prioritized mitigation actions, evaluates resources and identifies mitigation shortcomings, provides future mitigation planning and maintenance of existing plan. The plan will be implemented upon FEMA approval. LAKE ELSINORE -ANNEX 2 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN APRIL 2012 PLAN ADOPTION /RESOLUTION The City of Lake Elsinore will submit plans to Riverside County Fire — Office of Emergency Services who will forward to CAL EIVIA for review prior to being submitted to FEMA. In addition, we will wait to receive an "Approval Pending Adoption" before taking the plan to our local governing bodies for adoption. Upon approval, the City of Lake Elsinore will insert the signed resolution.

From earliest times, the 300 natural sulphur springs that fed Lake Elsinore were believed to have curative and magical properties by its Native American Indian inhabitants. These first inhabitants were called the Lake Entengvo Wumoma, which meant "Hot Springs by the Little Sea." Joining the Native American Indian inhabitants, the Spanish missionaries, soldiers, ranchers and American trappers came to the valley. The Spanish padres renamed the lake "Laguna Grande." Early settlers established a town site a representing the immortality given the in "Hamlet." In the 1920s and 1930s, and the lake a destination for world - team training. Sportsmen hunted duck iround the lake, which they renamed Elsinore, town of Elsinore in Denmark by Shakespeare the City became a playground for movie stars record - setting boat races and Olympic swim on the lake and deer in the hills. Lake Elsinore has a "Council- Manager" general law form of government where the City Manager is appointed by the City Council and is the Chief Executive Officer of the Municipal Corporation. The Council acts as the board of directors of the municipal corporation and meets in a public forum where citizens may participate in the governmental process. The City Council consists of five members elected at- large, on a non - partisan basis. Residents elect the Mayor and four Council members, making each accountable to the entire citizenry. 1.3 GEOGRAPHY AND CLIMATE DESCRIPTION The City of Lake Elsinore is a corporate city nestled at the foot of the Cleveland National Forest, within the southwest portion of Riverside County.

(See Table 2.2 in Section 2.5 of the Riverside County OA MJHMP projected development trends). SF,C TION 2.0 - PLANNING PROCEISS 2.1 LOCAL PLANNING PROCESS Our City coordinated with multiple cities and agencies throughout Riverside County in the creation /update of our LHMP Annex. The cooperation and discussions both in regional meetings, community outreach and in internal meetings allowed for both "big picture" and "local jurisdiction" views of mitigation needs and possibilities. Representatives from the City of Lake Elsinore Building & Safety, Planning, Finance, GIS, Engineering, Parks and Recreation, Fire, and Public Works departments met in November of 2011 to review past hazards as well as identify and prioritize appropriate local hazard mitigation strategies. The City of Lake Elsinore's General Plan also contains an Environmental Hazards Element that outlines hazards and mitigation steps. The City is currently updating its General Plan which includes goals, policies, and programs regarding environmental hazards, the transport of hazardous materials, emergency operation plan (EOP) and to provide an efficient and effective public safety. 2.2 PARTICIPATION IN REGIONAL (OA) PLANNING PROCESS The City of Lake Elsinore participated in the Regional LHMP planning process with the Riverside County Operational Area by attending LHMP meetings and public hearings. The City of Lake Elsinore participated in Riverside County workshops, conferences, and meetings, including: • Attendance at the 7/5/11 Riverside County & City LHMP Workshop • Attendance at the 8/23/11 Riverside County & City LHMP Workshop LAKE ELSINORE —ANNEX 12 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN APRIL 2012 In addition, the City of Lake Elsinore has provided written and oral comments on the multi - jurisdictional plan and provided information to Riverside County OES staff. 2.3 PUBLIC OUTREACH Public comment opportunities for the LHMP will be provided for through the Public Safety Advisory Committee meetings, through placement of the draft document on the City website, and the public hearing portion of City Council meeting(s). The following Southwest Comm. meetings were open for public comment: • September 20, 2011 • October 18. 2011 • November 15, 2011 • December 20. 2011 • January 17, 2012 • February 21, 2012 • March 20, 2012 (See Appendix A for attendance roster and agenda). 2.4 EXISTING PLANS AND STUDIES The LHMP mitigation strategies will be consistent with the Environmental Hazards Element of the City of Lake Elsinore General Plan. 2.5 PLANS ADOPTED BY RESOLUTION Upon approval by FEMA, the LHMP will be presented to the City Council of Lake Elsinore in a public meeting for adoption via an official Resolution. LAKE ELSINORE - ANNEX 13 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN APRIL 2012 SEC "("ION 3.0 -- UPDATES AND MITIGA'1"ION A('111ONS 3.1 UPDATES FROM 2005 PLAN There were 4 hazards that occurred from 2005 to present. No potential new hazards have been identified since the approval of the 2005 plan. 3.2 HAZARD UPDATES The City of Lake Elsinore planning team has reviewed the hazards that affect the City and summarized their frequency of occurrence, spatial extent, potential magnitude, and significance specific to Lake Elsinore and have concluded that all changes or additional hazards from the 2005 plan are listed below. 3.3 BRIEF STATEMENT OF UNIQUE HAZARDS The most prominent hazards faced by residents of City of Lake Elsinore are a major earthquake on the Elsinore Fault line and flooding potential from 100 year storm events in winter months. A long term power outage in summer months could produce life threatening extreme heat conditions for residents without access to air conditioning. The City of Lake Elsinore could also be impacted by terrorism or bio- terrorism that initially targets the Orange County Area, and then spreads the impacts to all neighboring communities. The City of Lake Elsinore has experienced the following Emergency Incidents since 2000: • Winter Storm Flooding January— February 2004, $95,000 in damages • Winter Storm Flooding, May — April 2005, $53,000 in damages • Severe Wind Damage, October 2007 — December 2007, $15,000 in damages • Winter Storms Flooding & Wind March, 2010, $68,000 in damages • Winter Storm Flooding & Wind December, 2010, $60,000 in damages • Regional Power Outage, September 8, 2011, no damages reported 3.4 MITIGATION PROJECT UPDATE The following table identifies a list of mitigation projects that are in progress.

Flood — The City of Lake Elsinore has experienced flood damage from numerous winter storms in the past and may continue to have future damages from flooding. Heavy rains can overwhelm the City's storm drain system and create localized flood problems. Significant portions of the City and the sphere of influence (SOI) are located within the FEMA mapped 100 -year special flood hazard zones. The City of Lake Elsinore has identified flooding sources within the City that include Arroyo del Toro, Channel H, Elsinore Spillway Channel, Lake Elsinore, Leach Canyon Channel, Lime Street Channel, McVicker Canyon, Ortega Wash, Ortega Channel, Rice Canyon, San Jacinto River, Stovepipe Canyon Creek, Temescal Wash, Wash G, Wash I, Murrieta Creek, Wasson Canyon Creek, and potentially LAKE ELSINORE -ANNEX 19 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN APRIL 2012 Railroad Canyon Dam if the incidence of failure occurs. (See Riverside County OA MJHMP Section 5.3.1 Pages 164 -195). 2. Wild Fire Wildfire susceptibility in the City of Lake Elsinore is defined as moderately high. The combination of Southern California's Mediterranean climate, with its winter and spring rainfall and hot, dry summers, and the frequency of high wind velocity creates optimum conditions for wildfires. The annual rainfall pattern supports grasses, shrubs, and trees, and the hot and summers result in dry vegetation. This readily combustible material can be easily ignited and will burn hot and fast, especially during high wind conditions. (See Riverside County OA MJHMP Section 5.3.2 Pages 154 -163). 3. Earthquake The City of Lake Elsinore is located within the Elsinore Fault zone. The Elsinore Fault consists of multiple strands, a number of which are recognized as active and zoned by the State of California under the Alquist - Priolo Act (Hart and Bryant 1997). Risk of surface rupture along these zoned active traces is substantial. Additionally, the County has zoned additional faults in the City. The Elsinore Fault is believed to be capable of generating earthquakes with moment magnitudes in the range of 6.5 -7.5, with a recurrence interval of approximately 250 years between major events. Smaller events may occur more frequently. Thus, the City and the SOI are likely to experience repeated moderate to strong ground shaking generated by the Elsinore fault in the foreseeable future. The City and surroundings also have the potential to experience significant ground shaking as a result of seismic activity on a number of the Peninsular Ranges' other active faults including the San Andreas Fault. (See Riverside County OA MJHMP Section 5.3.3 Pages 196 -218). 4. Severe Weather- Heat/Wind /Cold The City of Lake Elsinore participates with the Riverside County Office of Emergency Services plan for extreme heat conditions and has a cooling station located at the City of Lake Elsinore Senior Center, which is located at 420 E. Lakeshore Drive in Lake Elsinore. (See Riverside County OA MJHMP Section 5.3.4 Pages 219 -226 and Section 5.3.8 Pages 239 -245), 5. Hazardous Materials The City of Lake Elsinore has some businesses and activities that involve the transport, storage, or use of toxic or hazardous materials. Hazardous materials are defined as those that pose a potential threat to human health, having the capacity to cause serious illness or death. The term "hazardous materials" includes radioactive waste and explosives as well as substances such as LAKE ELSINORE -ANNEX 20 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN APRIL 2012 gasoline, pesticides, and household cleaning products. While the use of hazardous materials is carefully regulated, the City seeks to reduce the potential for injury or damage in the event of accidents or spills. 6. Air Quality: Severity — 2, Probability — 3, Ranking 1 Just south of Lake Elsinore, the Lake Elsinore Convergence Zone acts as an invisible boundary that obstructs much of the inland basin air pollutants from continuing south beyond the Lake Elsinore area. Coastal winds within the Lake Elsinore Convergence allow air pollutants to be dispersed just south of the convergence zone and accumulate within the Lake Elsinore area, including surrounding communities to the north and east. On -road motor vehicles in the Southern California Air Basin are the largest contributors to CO, oxides of nitrogen (NOX), and reactive organic gas (ROG) emissions; other on -road and off -road mobile emission sources are also significant contributors to CO and NOX emissions. Area -wide and stationary sources contribute to the remainder of air pollutant emissions within the SCAB. While high growth rates are often associated with corresponding increases in emissions and pollutant concentrations 7. Dam Failure The City of Lake Elsinore lies below the Railroad Canyon Dam. Data available through NATDAM identifies it as a dam where failure or misoperation will probably cause loss of human life. (See Riverside County OA MJHMP Section 5.4.1 Pages 261 -270). 8. Drought The City of Lake Elsinore relies on annual rainfall and urban runoff to recharge the Lake. The Lake is a source of recreation and tourism in the City. In the event of a drought, businesses throughout the City would be impacted by reduced use of the lake due to lower water levels and occurrence of fish kills. Homeowners would be impacted to a lesser degree due to inability to adequately water their landscaping. (See Riverside County OA MJHMP Section 5.3.5 Pages 227 -230). See Part II - Inventory Worksheet Page 18 for complete ranking chart.

The City of Lake Elsinore currently has over 50 active Citizen Corps members. The city also has purchased four (4) fully equipped CERT Response Trailers to assist with community response and recovery following a major earthquake, flood or other disaster. It is planned to have Citizen Corps and CERT trained volunteers set up a command post at EOC to assist the Lake Elsinore Fire and Police responders with light fire suppression, light search & rescue, triage and first aid treatment of disaster victims. The City of Lake Elsinore participates with the Riverside County Fire Department and Office of Emergency Services to provide training and support to CERT volunteers. The use of CERT trained volunteers helps to mitigate the effects of a LAKE ELSINORE -ANNEX 26 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN APRIL 2012 major earthquake, flood, fire, public health emergency, terrorism related event, or other community emergency. Lake Elsinore Citizen Corps Knowing that the risk of a disaster is real, the City of Lake Elsinore has implemented a new Citizen Corps program. A permanent Citizen Corps program can improve the chances of an orderly recovery following disasters of all kinds. The Lake Elsinore Citizen Corps program is outlined in the Citizen Corps Framework which was approved by the Public Safety Advisory Commission and the City Council in 2008, and adds a new disaster volunteer element to the City's Emergency Preparedness Plan. The City of Lake Elsinore web site contains first aid videos, PowerPoint Training, handouts, forms, booklets and a complete set of reference materials to assist with emergency preparedness and response information. We believe this is also a great mitigation step and plan for our future. SECTION 7.0 - MITIGATION STRATEGIES The City of Lake Elsinore coordinated with multiple cities and agencies throughout Riverside County to update of our LHMP Annex. The cooperation and discussions both in regional meetings, community outreach and in internal meetings allowed for both "big picture" and "local jurisdiction" views of mitigation needs and possibilities. The Part Two, Agency Inventory Worksheet provided a tool to recognize hazards and their severity and also assisted in determining what mitigation actions are appropriate to lessen or prevent the hazard on a long -term basis. LAKE ELSINORE - ANNEX 27 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN APRIL 2012 7.1 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The City of Lake Elsinore General Plan reflects the City's long -range aspirations (20 years) of physical form and amenity and provides guidance for developmental regulations, such as zoning and subdivision ordinances.

Require site - specific remediation measures during permit review that shall be implemented to minimize impacts in these areas. • The City recognizes the importance of addressing secondary seismic hazards, and has delineated areas of known and suspected liquefaction hazard. In general, liquefaction susceptibility ranges from very low in the former lake footprint to moderate on much of the remainder of the valley floor and very high in the valley floor corridor formerly occupied by the axial riverine drainage. Liquefaction potential is also very high along the area's principal tributary drainages and on portions of the alluvial fans on the valley's eastern margin. • The City applied for and received a FEMA grant to reinforce the City Hall and Cultural Center buildings, retrofit should be completed in 2012. Landslide and Other Slope Stability Hazards: • The State of California has not yet issued seismic hazards maps for the Lake Elsinore Area. Upon completion these maps will be required to delineate areas at risk from seismically induced landslides. A substantial proportion of the City, SOI, and surrounding area are located on slopes of 25 % -35% or steeper, and much of the area is at substantial risk of seismically induced slope failure. LAKE ELSINORE -ANNEX 37 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN APRIL 2012 7.4 FUTURE MITIGATION STRATEGIES The City of Lake Elsinore's mitigation goals and objectives include the following: • Local Jurisdiction Mitigation Strategies and Goals • The City of Lake Elsinore mitigation planning group has created a list of Mitigation Strategies and Goals for the community hazards identified to include the following: • Actively pursue to completion the mitigation policies and strategies contained in the Lake Elsinore General Plan. • Synchronize traffic signals throughout the City to minimize traffic congestion and associated vehicle emissions. • Pursue natural gas vehicle fueling station within the City limits. • Replace older fleet vehicles with alternative fuel vehicles when feasible and when not possible replace with vehicles that meet or exceed current emission standards. • Continue to train Emergency Operations Center and general city staff in our Emergency Operations Plan and the California Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS), the National Incident Management System (NIMS), and the Incident Command System (ICS). • Continue to train and educate the public and business community in Lake Elsinore CERT and Lake Elsinore PREP to increase the percentage of our population that is prepared and ready to respond to any emergency and stabilize their neighborhoods and business neighborhoods to assist the first responders my minimizing the effects of any emergency incident. • Enlist the support of Church, Civic, Business, and Community Groups including Homeowners Associations to support and promote CERT, Citizen Corps and individual preparedness in the City. LAKE ELSINORE -ANNEX 38 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN APRIL 2012 SEC'T'ION 8.0 - PLAN IMPLEMENTATION AND MAINTENANCE PROCESS The Lake Elsinore Municipal Code provides for mitigation of the hazards identified in the LHMP and an emergency response and disaster relief plan in the event of an emergency. The following codes include: • Chapter 8.20 BURNING AND FIRE HAZARDS • Chapter 15.56 UNIFORM FIRE CODE • Chapter 15.04 BUILDING CODE • Chapter 17.36 (HPD) HILLSIDE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY DISTRICT • Chapter 2.20 DISASTER RELIEF • Chapter 8.32 WEED AND RUBBISH ABATEMENT • Chapter 8.18 NUISANCE ABATEMENT • Chapter 14.08 STORMWATER /URBAN RUNOFF MANAGEMENT AND DISCHARGE CONTROLS • Chapter 14.04 SURFACE MINING AND RECLAMATION • Chapter 15.64 FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION • Chapter 16.48 DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS • Chapter 2.48 PERSONNEL The City Municipal Code takes cues from state and federal regulations as well as historical events in the City in promulgating regulations and guidance. As new regulations are passed at the state and federal level, Department staff aware of the new requirements drafts updates to the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code for City Council approval. Changes and ordinances are presented before City Council by way of a public hearing during which comments are sought, considered and recommendations made. LAKE ELSINORE -ANNEX 39 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN APRIL 2012 The City of Lake Elsinore Public Works Division will oversee the LHMP. In coordination with other City Departments, we will monitor and evaluate our LHMP on an ongoing and annual basis for the 5 year cycle required. On an ongoing basis, the following will be considered: • Funding source opportunities to include grants. • New development entitlement and construction that provide opportunity for improvements to infrastructure and communication. • Population growth, demographics, and build -out patterns. • Opportunities for hazard mitigation through interagency cooperative agreements. The annual review will assess whether: • The goals and objectives are relevant to current and expected conditions. • Risks identified have changed or new types have been identified. • The current resources are appropriate for implementing the plan. • There are implementation problems, such as technical, political, legal, or coordination issues with other agencies. • The outcomes have occurred as expected (a demonstration of progress). • The agencies and other partners participated as originally proposed. If we discover changes have occurred during the evaluation, we will update the LHMP revision page and notify OES to update our Annex. Lake Elsinore will follow the process in Section 9.0 of the Riverside County Multi - Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan for maintenance schedule. LAKE ELSINORE -ANNEX 40 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN APRIL 2012 SECTION 9.0 - CONTINUED PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT The City proposes to utilize a variety of methods to involve the public in the ongoing and annual review of the LHMP. The City of Lake Elsinore considers its residents its most valuable resource. The City has actively worked to establish a strong, active, Certified Emergency Response Team (CERT) program which provides for trained first responders, and the Lake Elsinore Citizen Corps program adds a new disaster volunteer element to the City's Emergency Preparedness Plan. The Citizen Corps members are located throughout the City. They are trained in first response and communications. They supplement the City's emergency response staff in emergency situations. The Citizen Corps is self - governed and meets bi- monthly. City staff from the Public Works Department, Fire; and the Public Safety and Advisory Commission (PSAC) attend and participate in the meetings. The Public Safety Advisory Commission (PSAC) has a significant role in the City. The PSAC is a conduit of information from residents and businesses to their Public Safety, Code Enforcement and Emergency Service providers. They: Act as independent "eyes and ears" to augment staff efforts to protect and serve the public; Communicate through the City's Web site, printed information and community outreach; Seek community feedback and input from various community organizations, such as the Lake Elsinore Marine Search & Rescue (LEMSAR), Neighborhood Watch Groups, the Lake Elsinore Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Merchants Organization, Homeowners Associations, Neighborhood Watch groups, and others; Submit Public Safety recommendations to the City Council for consideration and report to the City Council in a regular basis; Assist the City with Disaster Preparedness and Crisis Management; Evaluate the cost and merits of creating a Lake Elsinore Citizen Corps; • Seek grant funding for public safety related programs; Assist the community in solving local traffic safety concerns. The ongoing and annual review of the LHMP will be assisted through public input received by the PSAC. Please see Appendix B for update to the General Plan. Approval of any changes to the LHMP will be sought by City Council in a public hearing format providing the citizens of Lake Elsinore with the opportunity to comment prior to approval.

Housing Element Update The Housing Element is one of the seven (7) mandatory elements of the General Plan. Through its policies, procedures, and incentives, the updated Housing Element will provide an action plan for maintaining and expanding the housing supply for all income levels in the City for the period of July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2014. Downtown Master Plan, "Key to Downtown" Implementation Plan, and Downtown Code The Downtown Master Plan Is intended to set the vision of the downtown area. The Master Plan area is bounded by Interstate 15 to the north, the Lake waters to the south, PC November 15, 2011 Item No. 2 Pagel of 33 Figure B -2 Comprehensive Update to the City General Plan November 15, 2011 Page 2 of 6 and Riley Street to the west, and Ellis, Chestnut, Bridge, and Olive Streets to the east, as shown in Exhibit 'A.' The Master Plan seeks to preserve historic assets within the downtown while evolving a vision and character of a "City of its Time." The Master Plan also focuses on implementation and incentives, land uses and codes, in order that this vision can come to fruition quickly and efficiently. Climate Action Plan The Climate Action Plan (CAP) is a long -range plan to reduce local greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that contribute to climate change. The CAP identifies activities in the City that generate (GHG) emissions, quantifies these emissions, and projects future trends.. Additionally, the CAP provides targets for the years 2020 and 2030, and strategies and measures that ensure that the City meets the State's emissions reduction mandates (AB 32 and Executive Order S- 3 -05). Lastly, as requested by members of the City's development community, the CAP Includes a "Project -Level CAP Consistency Worksheet" within its Appendices, to assist an applicant In meeting California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements by demonstrating a project's consistency with the City's General Plan. Chronology 2005 —2007 The City adopted its existing General Plan on November 27, 1990. Work on an updated General Plan began in January, 2005, with the formation and active participation of the General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) comprised of local residents and business owners. The GPAC met regularly a total of fourteen (14) times, providing crucial ci0zen input for the Plan formation. A visioning session held at the Diamond Stadium, three neighborhood workshops, a joint City Council /Planning Commission /GPAC study session, a focused survey, and public hearings were conducted. A Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) was prepared and circulated In December, 2007. 2008-2009 Several hearings occurred in 2008 before both the Planning Commission and City Council, resulting in substantive changes to the proposed General Plan Land Use Map and modifications to the goals within the General Plan text. The City Council directed Staff to make specific land use changes throughout the City. These changes necessitated the preparation of a revised DEIR, including an updated Traffic Impact Analysis. Meanwhile, the Downtown Master Plan project was initiated with a consensus - building workshop on December 6, 2008, The City also sought approval by the State Department of Housing and Community Development of the City's Draft Housing Element Update, submitted in 2009. This process was stymied by the State's lack of confidence that the City could realistically meet its Regional Housing Needs Allocation. PC November 15, 2011 Item No.2 Page 2 of 33 LAKE ELSINORE —ANNEX 61 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN APRIL 2012 Figure B -3 Comprehensive Update to the City General Plan November 15, 2011 Page 3 of 6 Lastly, the City was a recipient of a federal Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant in 2009 which allowed us to embark on the preparation of a Climate Action Plan to address greenhouse gas emission reduction requirements from the State. 2010-2011 A concerted effort by department staff from Planning, Geographic Information Systems, and Engineering completed the work begun by consultants to ensure consistency between all documents completed by outside consultants. The project progressed despite budget cuts and the loss of key personnel that occurred during this time period. In -house staff also completed the revised and recirculated environmental documents. Discussion & Analysis Significant Changes to the Dec 2009 Draft GPU Since the printing of the December 2009 General Plan Update, Staff completed the following tasks, at the request of the City Council, interested agencies, the development community, and property owners: 1. Streamlined the Goals, Policies and Implementation Programs. 2. Appendices added to provide pertinent Information to facilitate development. 3. Land Use acreages recomputed as gross acres, and used throughout all accompanying documents. 4. Southeast Sphere District was removed as a result of the incorporation of the City of Wildomar and related boundary refinements effected by the Riverside County Local Agency Formation Commission ( "LAFCO" ). 5. Alternative Land Use Maps were removed from the General Plan document and incorporated in the alternative analysis of the RDP -EIR. 6. Mineral Resources section added to Chapter 4; Housing section expanded in Chapter 2. 7. Roadway Classifications were updated based on Revised Traffic Impact Analysis, 8. Residential Mixed Use and Commercial Mixed Use descriptions were refined for clarity In lieu of an update to the Zoning Code. 9. Properties under ownership of the Regional Conservation Agency were redesignated as Open Space. Errata Changes to the 2011 Draft General Plan Update The following changes are included in the Errata Sheet for the GPU (See Exhibit 'B') as a result of comments received during the recirculation of the DEIR: Parks & Recreation information and Open Space information have been updated at the request of Civic Partners and McMillian Summedy, LLC, in a PC November 15, 2011 Item No. 2 Page 3 of 33 LAKE ELSINORE — ANNEX 62 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN APRIL 2012 Figure B -4 Comprehensive Update to the City General Plan November 15, 2011 Page 4 of 6 letter dated October 21, 2011 from RGP (Letter is In the Response to Comments section of the Final RP -EIR). 2. Cultural Resources Goals, Policies and Implementation Programs have been modified at the request of the Pechanga Tribe, in a letter dated October 19, 2011 (Letter is in the Response to Comments section of the Final RP -EIR). 3. Trails, hillside grading standards, and improvements to roadway connections to adjacent jurisdictions have been modified or added at the request of the City of Canyon Lake. Their letter, dated November 3, 2011, making such requests is attached to this Staff Report as Exhiblt'C.' 4. In a letter dated November 9, 2011, Carleton Waters of Urban Crossroads, re- analyzed their Traffic Impact Analysis and modified their recommended roadway classifications for two relatively minor "loop" roadways located west of Lincoln Street and south of the Interstate 15 Freeway. Their letter, dated November 9, 2011, Is attached to this Staff Report as Exhibit'D.' Errata Changes to the Draft Housing Element Update On November 1, 2011? the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) issued a letter to the City (See Exhibit'E'), indicating that the Draft Housing Element as revised at the request of HCD "addresses the statutory requirements" and "demonstrates adequate sites to accommodate the City's regional housing need." The requested revisions to Pages 130 through 133 of the Draft Housing Element is an attachment to this Staff Report and comprises the Errata Sheet for the Draft Housing Element Update (See Exhlbit'F'). Correspondence Staff received a letter of support from Mr. Paul Reichert, of 3 Point Properties, Inc., dated October 25, 2011, in which he "strongly enoourage(s) the Planning Commission to make its recommendation to the City Council ..." (See Exhibit'G'). Staff also received a letter from Marinita Development Company dated November 8, 2011, thanking the City and Staff "for the exceptionally good job" on the General Plan Update (See Exhibit 'H'). Marinita also makes three requests to change the General Plan and Program EIR. Unfortunately, the request to change the Program EIR was not received during the 45 -day recirculation comment period which ended October 21, 2011, and could not be considered in the Response to Comments. Staff did not have sufficient time to research and respond to these requests before the printing of this Staff Report, However, Staff will present their analysis for discussion with the Commission at the public hearing. PC November 15, 2011 Item No. 2 Page 4 of 33 LAKE ELSINORE —ANNEX 63 LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN APRIL 2012 Figure B -5 Comprehensive Update to the City General Plan November 15, 2011 Page 5 of 6 Environmental Determination The City circulated a Draft Program Environmental Impact Report with approximately 180 individual comments received during the 45 -day comment period from December 5, 2007 to January 18, 2008. Comments were reviewed and considered for incorporation during the revision process necessitated by the substantial changes to the land use plan during the first round of public hearings. A Recirculated Draft Program EIR ( "RDP -EIR") was circulated for another 45 -day comment period from September 7, 2011 to October 21, 2011. A total of twenty (20) comment letters were received, reviewed, considered and responses prepared. Responses to the comments are provided to the Commission in the Final Recirculated Program EIR document. Annexation No. 81 The revised RDP -EIR includes an analysis of the proposed Annexation No. 81, known as the "3rd Street Annexation," pending before the Local Agency Formation Commission. The Annexation is City- initiated and its processing will continue to completion following the City's adoption of the General Plan Update Land Use Map designating the proposed [and use densities and intensities within the Annexation area and certification of the Final RP -EIR. Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations The RP -EIR determined that the proposed project, as described above, will have no potentially significant impacts upon Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Mineral Resources, Population and Housing and Utilities and Service Systems and no mitigation measures beyond the goals, policies and implementation programs identified in the proposed General Plan Update are required for these issue areas. Additionally, the RP -EIR determined that potentially significant environmental impacts upon Aesthetics, Biological Resources, Cultural and Paleontological Resources, Geology and Soils, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality, Land Use & Planning (including Agricultural Resources), Parks and Recreation and Public Services will be mitigated to below a level of significance through compliance with the goals, policies and Implementation programs identified in the proposed General Plan Update and compliance with the identified mitigation measures. However, the RP -EIR also determined that the proposed project will have significant and unavoidable project -level and cumulative impacts related to Air Quality, Noise and Transportation and Circulation, which cannot be mitigated to below a level of significance. Therefore, a Statement of Overriding Considerations has been prepared and Is included in the Findings of Fact, which are a separately bound document that is incorporated by reference into the Planning Commission resolution recommending certification of the RP -EIR.
