and the zoning district in which the Project is located.
The proposed facility is located in the Specific Plan General Plan Land Use Designation
and is located within the Ballpark District planning district. The Ballpark planning district
calls for an emphasis on mixed use entertainment, commercial, and residential uses. Goal
1 implementation program asserts the City shall support land use applications consistent
with the Specific Plan. The proposed uses are permitted. Further, the proposed project is
consistent with all development standards identified in the Diamond Specific Plan

Municipal Code or Specific Plan.
The proposed Project is located within the Diamond Specific Plan Amendment No.1 and

to create continuous development theme in the specific Plan area. Furthermore, the
design theme is encouraged to create effective site planning to ensure adequate setbacks,
fagade articulations, and other treatments to create a high quality design. The proposed
Project employs a complimentary design with the Lake Elsinore Diamond Stadium and
interjects adequate diversity so as to not create a monotonous streetscape. The proposed
design also includes various architectural treatments to create an authentic design which
reinforces the design themes identified in the Diamond Specific Plan Amendment No. 1.
3. Conditions and safeguards pursuant to Chapter 17.64.070 of the LEMC, 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 17.64.

Commission at a duly noticed Public Hearing on December 6, 2016. The proposed Project,
as reviewed and conditioned by all applicable City divisions, departments and agencies,
will not have a significant effect on the environment. Furthermore, appropriate Conditions

the future development and establishment of use.

Approval imposed upon the Project, the Council approves CDR No. 2016 -07.
