RESO. NO. 2016 - 053 PAGE 2OF3 NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The City Council has considered the proposed design for the 70 residential homes and has found it acceptable. The City Council has reviewed and analyzed the proposed project pursuant to the California Planning and Zoning Laws (Cal. Gov. Code §§ 65000 et seq.), the Lake Elsinore General Plan, the East Lake Specific Plan Amendment No. 6 and the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code and finds and determines that the proposed Residential Design Review No. 2016 -03 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 finds and determines that no new CEQA documentation is necessary. The Project comprises the whole of the action which was analyzed in the previously approved and certified Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SCH # 2003071050) for the East Lake Specific Plan Amendment No. 6. Approval of the Project will not change density or intensity of use; it simply establishes standards for color palates, articulation, orientation, and design of single family residential development. Therefore, no further environmental review is necessary. SECTION 3. That in accordance with LEMC Chapter 17.184, the City Council makes the following findings regarding Residential Design Review No. 2016 -03: The project, as approved, will comply with the goals and objectives of the General Plan and the zoning district in which the project is located. The single- family detached residential development has a General Plan Land Use designation of Specific Plan, is located in the East Lake Planning Area, and has a Zoning designation of Specific Plan. The proposed project constitutes build out of a previously approved and recorded tract map that was found to comply with the goals and objectives of the General Plan and the East Lake Specific Plan Amendment No. 6. The proposed project does not propose an increase in density of development then what was previously approved. Further, the single family homes will assist in achieving the development of a well - balanced and functional mix of residential, commercial, industrial, open space, recreational and institutional land uses. 2. The single - family detached residential development complies with the design directives contained in the East Lake Specific Plan Amendment No. 6 and all applicable provisions of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code. The single- family detached residential development is appropriate to the site and surrounding developments and is a continuation of a previously approved residential product in the adjacent areas. The three (3) architectural styles proposed will create a distinctive street scene within the project site. Sufficient setbacks and onsite landscaping have been provided thereby creating interest and varying vistas. In addition, safe and efficient circulation has been achieved onsite. 3. Conditions and safeguards pursuant to LEMC Chapter 17.184.070, including guarantees and evidence of compliance with conditions, have been incorporated into the approval of the Project to ensure development of the property in accordance with the objectives of Chapter 17.184. RESO. NO. 2016 - 053 PAGE 3OF3 Pursuant to LEMC Section 17.184.070, the Project was considered by the City Council at a duly noticed public hearing held on April 26, 2016. The single - family detached residential development, as reviewed and conditioned by all applicable City divisions, departments and agencies, will not have a significant effect on the environment. Approval of the design for the single- family detached residential development will not result in a substantial change to the previously adopted Supplemental Environmental Impact Report. Therefore, no additional environmental review is necessary. SECTION 4. Based upon all of the evidence presented, the above findings, and the attached conditions of approval, the City Council hereby approves Residential Design Review No. 2016 -03. SECTION 5. This Resolution shall take effect from and after the date of its passage and adoption.
