NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: 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. The City Council, based upon a thorough review of the proposed Addendum No. 2 to the General Plan Update Recirculated Program Environmental Impact Report (GPU RP- EIR) (SCH No. 2015121019), the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) documents, and the evidence received to date, does determine as follows: 1.. In accordance with Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines, the proposed annexation and zone change do not present substantial changes or reveal new information that would require Subsequent or Supplemental RP -EIR analysis. However, some changes or additions to the information contained in the certified RP -EIR is necessary in order to approve the proposed CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 2016 -041 PAGE 2 of 3 project. For this reason, pursuant to Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, an Initial Study /Addendum to the GPU RP -EIR was prepared to provide an evaluation of potential site - specific environmental effects that could result from the proposed Project, compared those effects to what was disclosed by the GPU RP -EIR and concluded that the significant effects that would result from the Project have been addressed in the earlier certified GPU RP -EIR. The Initial Study /Addendum constitutes Addendum No. 2 to the GPU RP -EIR (SCH No. 2015121019). SECTION 3. 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 -03: 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 amendment 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 its potential to have detrimental effects and conditions have been imposed on the subject project to ensure that the health, safety and welfare of surrounding residents will be protected. b. The application to modify the General Plan Land Use designations would not be injurious to the property or improvements in the neighborhood as the General Amendment would modify the existing residential designation to a different designation. 2. The proposed General Plan Amendment will permit reasonable development of the area consistent with its constraints. The proposed designations will allow for the development of the 160 acre properties in a manner that is reflective of the topographical restraints and in a manner consistent with the Meadowbrook Sphere District. 3. The proposed General Plan Amendment would establish a land use density, intensity and usage more in character with the subject property's location, access, and constraints. The proposed amendment would permit the transfer of residential densities amongst the four properties and would create development that is more in character of the surrounding community. 4. The proposed General Plan Amendment will not have a significant effect on the environment. The effects of the General Plan Amendment have been analyzed in the Addendum No. 2 of the GPU PR -OEIR and have been found to not create any new impacts. SECTION 4. Based upon the evidence presented, both written and testimonial, and the above findings, the City Council hereby approves General Plan Amendment No. 2014 -03.
