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 three
(3) industrial buildings 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, and the Lake Elsinore
Municipal Code and finds and determines that Industrial Design Review No. 2015-02 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 has considered the Mitigated Negative Declaration
No. 2007-05 and has determined that the Mitigated Negative Declaration has been
prepared in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act.
SECTION 3. That in accordance with Lake Elsinore Municipal Code Chapter
17.184, the City Council makes the following findings regarding Industrial Design Review
No. 2015-02:
1. 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 Project complies with the goals and objectives of the General Plan
because it will assist in achieving the development of a well-balanced and
functional mix of residential, commercial, industrial, open space, recreational,
and institutional land uses. The Project will serve to greater diversify and
expand Lake Elsinore’s economic base.
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 Project is appropriate to the site and surrounding developments in that
the light industrial park consisting of three (3) buildings has been designed in

consideration of the size and shape of the property. Sufficient setbacks and
enhanced onsite landscaping have been provided thereby creating interest
and varying vistas as a person moves along abutting streets and within the
park. In addition, safe and efficient circulation has been achieved onsite.
The Project will complement the quality of existing development and will
create a visually pleasing, non-detractive relationship between the proposed
development and existing projects through the use of a ‘Contemporary’
architectural design that is similar to existing industrial developments in the
vicinity. A variety of architectural elements and colors are proposed including
recessed building entries, multiple parapet heights, decorative score lines,
and eye brow canopies. In addition, proposed neutral tone colors will serve
to blend with surrounding developments and provide evidence of a concern
for quality and originality.
3. Conditions and safeguards pursuant to Chapter 17.184.070 of the Municipal
Code, 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.
Pursuant to Section 17.184.070 of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code, the
Project was considered by the City Council at a duly noticed public meeting
held on February 23, 2016. The three (3) building industrial development, has
been 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 three (3) building industrial development will not result in a
substantial change to the previously adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration.
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 Industrial Design
Review No. 2015-02.
SECTION 5. This Resolution shall take effect from and after the date of its
passage and adoption.
