The effects that the Project are likely to have upon the housing needs of the region, the public service requirements of its residents and the available fiscal and environmental resources have been considered and balanced. a. The Project is consistent with the City's General Plan. During the approval of the General Plan, housing needs, public services and fiscal resources were scrutinized to achieve a balance within the City. b. The map has been conditioned to annex into Community Facilities District No. 2015 -1 (Safety and Law Enforcement, Fire and Paramedic Services, Mello -Roos) to offset the annual negative fiscal impacts of the project on public safety operations and maintenance issues in the City. C. The map has been conditioned to annex into the City of Lake Elsinore Community Facilities District No. 2015 -2 (Maintenance Services) to fund the on -going operation and maintenance of the public right -of- way, landscaped areas, and neighborhood parks to be maintained by the City, and for street lights in the public right -of -way for which the City will pay for electricity and a maintenance fee to Southern California Edison, including parkways, open space and public storm drains constructed within the development and federal NPDES requirements to offset the annual negative fiscal impacts of the project. 4. Subject to the attached conditions of approval, the proposed division of land or type of improvements is not likely to result in any significant environmental impacts. a. An Initial Study was prepared for the Project. The Initial Study identified potentially significant environmental effects but proposals made or agreed to by the applicant avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where no significant effects would occur. b. When examining the Project in light of the conditions of approval and mitigation measures there is no substantial evidence that the Project may have a significant effect on the environment. City Council Resolution No. 2015 -081 Page 3 of 4 C. Mitigation measures are required to ensure all potentially significant impacts are reduced to levels of insignificance.
