APPROVING A REVISION TO TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 31920.
Project Request/Location
The applicant is requesting approval of a revision to Tentative Tract Map (TTM) 31920,
specifically remapping lots 23, 26 and 27, which would increase the total number of residential
lots by 84 units going from 156 to 238 units. Minimum lot sizes would be reduced from 5,000 SF
to 3,300 SF. The proposed project is located within the Summerly Development of the East
Lake Specific Plan (ELSP) and is located on lots 23, 26 and 27 of TTM 31920 and is more
specifically referred to as APNs: 371-270-014, 017, and 018.

for a total of up to 9,000 residential units. There have been 10 subsequent amendments to the
Specific Plan that were approved and adopted. Most recently, the City Council approved
Amendment No. 11, which is a comprehensive specific plan, which consolidated all previous
iterations of the ELSP and updated the plan as follows:
Overhaul land uses, development regulations, and architectural guidelines along with
updating circulation and drainage.
Streamline the development process in order to stimulate private sector investment.
Create a user-friendly East Lake Specific Plan document.
Protect the natural resources in the Lake’s Back Basin.
Maintain flood storage capacity.
Anticipate changing marketplace demand and public need by providing flexibility in
implementation.
Ensure that the City’s “Action Sports Capital of the World” and “Dream Extreme”
activities have a permanent location in the City.
Planning Commission
The Planning Commission at its March 6, 2018, regular meeting took unanimous action to
recommend approval of the proposed map amendment to the City Council.
City Council
The City Council at its March 13, 2018, regular meeting took action to continue the item.
Project Description
The proposed revision to TTM 31920 includes the remapping lots 23, 25 and 27. The applicant
since the continued public hearing further modified the proposed revised map to increase the
minimum lot size to 3,500 SF and provided additional recreational amenities in the form of
Summerly Community Association owned neighborhood trail connections and view/overlook
walks within easements in these new neighborhoods and final development phase. These trail
and view/overlook amenities will be landscaped and enhanced for use by the Summerly
homeowners. The proposed subdivided lots range in size from 9,058 SF to 3,501 SF, with an
average size of 4,345 SF. The proposed subdivision has a density 6.9 dwelling units per acre.
Table 1 identifies the maximum, minimum and average lot sizes by lot and for the total proposed
map revision:
Table - 1 PA 2017-18 Remapping Detail
Lot Minimum Maximum Average
23 3,501 SF 6,533 SF 4,130 SF
25 3,760 SF 6,649 SF 4,029 SF
27 4,500 SF 9,058 SF 4,957 SF
Average 3,920 SF 7,413 SF 4,372 SF
The proposed project would not permit any new construction. Subsequent entitlement approvals
are required prior to the construction of any new residential units. Subsequent entitlements will
focus on design review of future residential development.

Analysis
Under East Lake Specific Plan Amendment #11, the Summerly Residential Neighborhood as
implemented by TTM 31920 includes two residential densities, recreational facilities,
landscaping lots and public streets, as detailed in Table 2.

HOA Landscape Lots 14 1.37
Public Streets 68.26
1 Average density calculated on residential acreage only.
Due to the dual zoning designation identified for the Summerly Residential Neighborhood,
application of either the Low-Medium Density Residential or Medium Density Residential are
appropriate if the overall maximum density of development does not exceed 1,979 dwelling
units. Due to the 1,979 unit cap not being exceeded, the Medium Density Residential
designation is applicable for the evaluation for the creation of lots. The original approval of TTM
31920 mapped a total 1,483 dwelling units, SPA 10 increased the total to 1,500 dwelling units
and SPA 6A increased the total to 1,595 dwelling units. The proposed map amendment would
increase the total to 1,677 dwelling units. Due to the development not exceeding the cap of
1,979 dwelling units the applicability of the Medium Density Residential development standards
are appropriate when evaluating the revised map. Medium Density Residential has specific
development standards applicable to the creation of lots as detailed in Table 3.
Table 3 - Medium Density Residential Development Standards
Development Criteria Standard Proposed
Density Up to 14 du/ac 6.9 du/ac
Lot Area Minimum 3,300 SF 3,501 SF
Minimum Lot Width 46’-0”46’-0”
The proposed map revision has been found consistent with the development criteria for the
creation of lots in the Medium Density Residential land use designation. Additionally, project-
wide development standards have also been prepared to complement those described in the
Medium Density Residential standards. Those applicable to subdivision of land include the
following criteria:
Development does not exceed development caps
Uses shall comply with the requirements of the ESLP
Lots created shall conform to the ELSP, applicable City standards or State law and shall
not include flag lots
Compliance with current WQMP and MS4 permit requirements
Common open space

Infrastructure commensurate with the impacts of the proposed development and
adequate phasing to ensure the infrastructure is constructed to mitigate potential
impacts
Pay applicable development fees
Implementation of mitigation measures identified in the ELSP Amendment #11 EIR
As previously detailed, the proposed project does not include development that is in excess of
the development cap of the Summerly Residential Neighborhood of 1,979 units and has been
designed in a manner consistent with the requirements of the ELSP. The proposed project has
been conditioned to meet the current WQMP and MS4 permit requirements, subsequent design
review applications will require the approval of amendments to the approved Preliminary WQMP
to demonstrate compliance with the new WQMP and MS4 requirements. The proposed map
revision does not create significant new traffic and will be accommodated by the existing and to
be constructed infrastructure for the Summerly Residential Neighborhood. The proposed project
is subject to a previously approved Development Agreement, which specifies applicable
development fees and the timing of the payment of those fees. Consistent with certain
protections provided in the Development Agreement, the proposed project has been conditioned
to implement the applicable mitigation measures identified in the ELSP Amendment #11 EIR. In
accordance with the Development Agreement and conditions of approval of TTM 31920, the
project areas have been previously annexed to applicable maintenance and public safety
financing districts and would not be required to annex into CFD 2015-01 or 2015-02.
Overall, the project proposes increased densities of residential development within an existing
residential community. The proposed smaller lots would not be discernable from the public right
of ways as the minimum lot widths are consistent with the other areas of the community.
Setbacks to garages would maintain a minimum of 18’-0” distance, thereby minimizing potential
impacts to roadways. The increased density would also create a different lot configuration than
what is standardly available in the Summerly Residential Neighborhood. Because the project
meets all the development criteria established by the ELSP Amendment # 11 for new lots, it is
consistent with the project-wide development standards and the project creates a differing
product type while not altering the existing streetscape or creating adverse impacts. Staff
recommends approval.
Environmental
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, staff has determined the proposed Project would
not have a significant effect on the environment and no new environmental documentation is
necessary because all potentially significant effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier
Environmental Impact Report “EIR” (SCH #2016111029). All potentially significant impacts upon
Aesthetics, Biological Resources, Cultural, Paleontological and Tribal Resources, Geology,
Soils and Seismicity, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality will be
mitigated to below a level of significance through compliance with the mitigation measures set
forth in the EIR. The EIR also determined that the proposed Project would have significant and
unavoidable project-level and cumulative impacts related to Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas
Emissions, Noise, Transportation and Circulation which cannot be mitigated to below a level of
significance, resulting in the adoption of a Statement of Overriding. Pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Section 15162 no substantial changes, which require major revisions to the EIR,
exist, and no new information of substantial importance, which require revisions to the earlier
EIR, exist. Therefore, no further environmental documentation is necessary.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE,
CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING FINDINGS THAT PLANNING APPLICATION NO. 2017-18
(TTM 31920) IS CONSISTENT WITH THE WESTERN RIVERSIDE COUNTY
MULTIPLE SPECIES HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN (MSHCP)
Whereas, Brian Milich, DMB Pacific Ventures, has filed an application with the City of Lake
Elsinore requesting approval of a modification to Tentative Tract Map No. 31920 for a project site
located within the East Lake Specific Plan (the “Project”); and,
Whereas, Section 6.0 of the MSHCP requires that all discretionary projects within an MSHCP
criteria cell undergo the Lake Elsinore Acquisition Process (LEAP) and Joint Project Review (JPR)
to analyze the scope of the proposed development and establish a building envelope that is
consistent with the MSHCP criteria; and,
Whereas,Section 6.0 of the MSHCP further requires that the City adopt consistency findings
demonstrating that the proposed discretionary entitlement complies with the MSHCP cell criteria,
and the MSHCP goals and objectives; and,
Whereas,pursuant to Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC) Chapter 16.24 (Tentative Maps) the
Planning Commission (Commission) has been delegated with the responsibility of making
recommendations to the City Council (Council) pertaining to the residential design review; and,
Whereas,the East Lake Specific Plan (ELSP) is partially covered by two distinct MSHCP criteria
cells: approximately three (3) acres of the ELSP are within cell 4846 and approximately three
tenths (0.3) of an acre are within cell 4937; and,
Whereas,the Project site is within the boundaries of the ESLP that are covered by the
aforementioned cell sites; and,
Whereas,on March 6, 2018, at a duly noticed Public Hearing the Commission considered
evidence presented by the Community Development Department and other interested parties with
respect to this item and recommended that the City Council find that the project is consistent with
the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan ; and,
Whereas,pursuant to LEMC Chapter 16.24 (Tentative Maps) the Council has the responsibility
of making decisions to approve, modify, or disapprove recommendations of the Commission for
variance applications; and,
Whereas,on April 24, 2018, at a duly noticed Public Meeting, the Council has considered the
recommendation of the Commission as well as evidence presented by the Community
Development Department and other interested parties with respect to this item.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: The Council has considered the Project and its consistency with the MSHCP prior to
adopting Findings of Consistency with the MSHCP.
CC Reso. No. 2018-____
Page 2 of 4
Section 2:That in accordance with the MSHCP, the Council makes the following findings for
MSHCP consistency:
1. The Project is a project under the City’s MSHCP Resolution, and the City must make an
MSHCP Consistency finding before approval.
Pursuant to the City’s MSHCP Resolution, the Project must be reviewed for MSHCP
consistency, which review shall include an analysis of the Project’s consistency with other
“Plan Wide Requirements.” The Project is located within the ELSP area, specifically within
the ELSP Amendment No. 6 area. Prior to the City’s adoption of the MSHCP, there were
a series of meetings between the County of Riverside, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and
California Department of Fish and Game to discuss conservation measures within the
ELSP and to decide how to ensure development within the ELSP could proceed
consistently with the MSHCP and with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Section 404
permit. It was determined that a target acreage of 770 acres was warranted for MSHCP
conservation in the back basin area of the City.
The Project site is within the ELSP and is covered by that conservation agreement. Part
of the conservation agreement also included a requirement that projects in the back basin
area be consistent with the other “Plan Wide Requirements” set forth in the following
sections of the MSHCP: Protection of Species Associated with Riparian/Riverine Areas
and Vernal Pool Guidelines (MSHCP, § 6.1.2), Protection of Narrow Endemic Plant
Species Guidelines (MSHCP, § 6.1.3), Additional Survey Needs and Procedures
(MSHCP, § 6.3.2), Urban/Wildlands Interface Guidelines (MSHCP, § 6.1.4), Vegetation
Mapping (MSHCP, § 6.3.1) requirements, Fuels Management Guidelines (MSHCP, § 6.4),
and payment of the MSHCP Local Development Mitigation Fee (MSHCP Ordinance, § 4).
The Project has been reviewed in light of these sections and is consistent therewith.
2. The Project is subject to the City’s LEAP and the County’s Joint Project Reviewprocesses.
The ELSP MSHCP consistency determination was submitted to the County of Riverside
in October 2003, prior to the initiation of the City’s LEAP and County’s Joint Project Review
process. Nevertheless, both the City and Dudek (acting on behalf of the County) agreed
that the Project was consistent with the MSHCP due to the extensive acreage set aside
for conservation. The Project has not been modified and was part of the overall ELSP
which has been determined to be consistent with the MSHCP.
3. The Project is consistent with the Riparian/Riverine Areas and Vernal Pools Guidelines.
The previously approved ELSP No. 6 was determined to be consistent with the
Riparian/Riverine and Vernal Pool Guidelines as set forth in Section 6.1.2 of the MSHCP.
The scope and nature of the Project have not been modified from that which was
previously approved and is therefore consistent with the Riparian/Riverine Areas and
Vernal Pools Guidelines.
4. The Project is consistent with the Protection of Narrow Endemic Plant Species Guidelines.
The previously approved ELSP No. 6 was consistent with the Protection of Narrow
Endemic Plant Species Guidelines as set forth in Section 6.1.3 of the MSHCP. The Project
has not been modified from that which was previously approved under the ELSP
CC Reso. No. 2018-____
Page 3 of 4
Amendment No. 6. Additionally, based upon prior approvals, the entire Project site has
been graded and any plant species which may have existed on the site have been
removed and replaced with development. It is for these reasons that the Project is
consistent with the aforementioned guidelines.
5. The Project is consistent with the Additional Survey Needs and Procedures.
The previously approved ELSP No. 6 was consistent with the Additional Survey Needs
and Procedures as set forth in Section 6.3.2 of the MSHCP. The Project has not been
modified from that which was previously approved under the ELSP Amendment No. 6,
and the entire project site has been graded pursuant to previously issued permits. The
Project is consistent with the Additional Survey Needs and Procedures of the MSHCP.
6. The Project is consistent with the Urban/Wildlands Interface Guidelines.
The previously approved ELSP No. 6 was consistent with the Urban/Wildlands Interface
Guidelines as set forth in Section 6.1.4 of the MSHCP. Because the Project has not been
modified from that which was previously approved under the ELSP No. 6, no further
MSHCP review is necessary and the Project is consistent with the Urban/Wildlands
Interface Guidelines.
7. The Project is consistent with the Vegetation Mapping requirements.
The previously approved ELSP No. 6 was consistent with the Vegetation Mapping
requirements as set forth in Section 6.3.1 of the MSHCP. Mapping was conducted as part
of the biological surveys for the original project. The Project has not been modified from
that which was previously approved and therefore is consistent with the Vegetation
Mapping requirements.
8. The Project is consistent with the Fuels Management Guidelines.
The previously approved ELSP No. 6 was consistent with the Fuels Management
Guidelines as set forth in Section 6.4 of the MSHCP. The Project site is not within or
adjacent to conservation areas where the Fuels Management Guidelines would be
required. The Project has not been modified from that which was previously approved
and therefore is consistent with the Fuel Management Guidelines.
9. The Project overall is consistent with the MSHCP.
As stated in No. 1 above, the Project is within the ELSP area which has previously been
determined to be consistent with the MSHCP.
Section 3:Based upon the evidence presented, both written and testimonial, and the above
findings, the Council hereby finds that the Project is consistent with the MSHCP.
Section 4:This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
Section 5:The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution and enter it into the book
of original Resolutions.

RESOLUTION NO. 2018-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE
APPROVING A REVISION TO TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 31920.
Whereas, Brian Milich, DMB Pacific Ventures, has filed an application with the City of Lake
Elsinore requesting approval of a modification to Tentative Tract Map No. 31920 for a project site
located within the East Lake Specific Plan (the “Project”); and,
Whereas,pursuant to Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC) Chapter 16.24 (Tentative Maps) the
Planning Commission (Commission) has been delegated with the responsibility of making
recommendations to the City Council (Council) pertaining to the residential design review; and,
Whereas,on March 6, 2018, at a duly noticed Public Hearing the Commission considered
evidence presented by the Community Development Department and other interested parties with
respect to this item and recommended that the City Council approve the proposed map
amendment ; and,
Whereas,pursuant to LEMC Chapter 16.24 (Tentative Maps) the Council has the responsibility
of making decisions to approve, modify, or disapprove recommendations of the Commission for

Whereas,on April 24, 2018, at a duly noticed Public Meeting, the Council has considered the
recommendation of the Commission as well as evidence presented by the Community
Development Department and other interested parties with respect to this item.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Prior to making a recommendation to the City Council, the Planning Commission has
reviewed and analyzed the revision to Tract Map No. 31920 pursuant to the appropriate Planning
and Zoning Laws, and Chapter 16 (Subdivisions) of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (“LEMC”).
Section 2. The Planning Commission hereby finds and determines that the revision to Tentative
Tract Map No. 31920 is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources
Code §§ 21000 et seq.: “CEQA”) and the Guidelines for Implementation of CEQA (14 California
Code of Regulations §§ 15000 et seq.: “CEQA Guidelines”). Specifically, the Planning
Commission finds that determined the proposed Project would not have a significant effect on the
environment and no new environmental documentation is necessary because all potentially
significant effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier Environmental Impact Report
“EIR” (SCH #2016111029). All potentially significant impacts upon Aesthetics, Biological
Resources, Cultural, Paleontological and Tribal Resources, Geology, Soils and Seismicity,
Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality will be mitigated to below a level
of significance through compliance with the mitigation measures set forth in the EIR. The EIR
also determined that the proposed Project would have significant and unavoidable project-level
and cumulative impacts related to Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Noise, Transportation
and Circulation which cannot be mitigated to below a level of significance, resulting in the adoption
of a Statement of Overriding. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 no substantial
changes, which require major revisions to the EIR, exist, and no new information of substantial
importance, which require revisions to the earlier EIR, exist. Therefore, no further environmental
documentation is necessary.
CC Reso. No. 2018-____
Page 2 of 3
Section 3. That in accordance with State Planning and Zoning Law and the Lake Elsinore
Municipal Code, the Planning Commission makes the following findings for approval of a revision
to Tentative Tract Map No. 31920:
1.The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is
consistent with the General Plan. The proposed subdivision is compatible with the
objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the General Plan
(Government Code Section 66473.5).
The General Plan designates the site for a mixed land use Specific Plan. Consistent with
that designation, the revised Tract Map can accommodate future residential land uses.
The Tract Map is consistent with the designated land use, development and design
standards, and all other appropriate requirements contained in the General Plan, the East
Lake Specific Plan and Subdivision Map Act.
2.The effects this project is 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.
The modified Tract Map is consistent with the land use plan, development and design
standards, and programs, and all other appropriate requirements contained in the General
Plan. The modified Tentative Tract Map No. 31920 is consistent with the residential land
uses within the specific plan and applicable development and design standards.
3.Subject to the attached conditions of approval, the proposed project is not anticipated to
result in any significant environmental impact.
The project has been adequately conditioned by all applicable departments and agencies
and will not therefore result in any significant environmental impacts. Furthermore
environmental clearance and analysis for the proposed application is provided by EIR
(SCH #2016111029)which was approved and adopted in 2017 for the East Lake Specific
Plan Amendment No. 11. The EIR evaluated environmental impacts that would result from
maximum build-out of the Specific Plan. The Project does not present changes or new
information regarding the potential environmental impacts of development. No further
environmental clearance is necessary.
Section 3:Based upon the evidence presented, the above findings, and the attached conditions
of approval, Council approves the modification to Tentative Tract Map No. 31920.
Section 4:This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
Section 5:The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution and enter it into the book
of original Resolutions.
Passed and Adopted on this 24
th day of April, 2018.

SUMMERLY TENTATIVE MAP AMENDMENT (“TMA”)
Lots 23 (Unit 20), 26 (Unit 23) and 27 (Unit 25)
Summary of Original Request
And Changes Made to Address Questions on Lot Size
April 10, 2018
Page 2 of 6
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Proposed Tentative Map Amendment is aligned with continuing the tradition of quality development in the City of
Lake Elsinore that Summerly and Pacific Ventures are now very well known for. The following are the proposal’s key
points
Summerly’s request is another example of Pacific Venture’s continuing commitment to its homeowners and to
the City of Lake Elsinore—to over deliver on our commitment.
The reason for this request is quite simple: as in all master planned communities, and Summerly is no
exception, a diversity in lot, home and architectural choice is key to any community’s success in meeting a
healthy diversity of buyer life stages and lifestyle choices.
Summerly is rebalancing its lot and home choices in this final phase of development ina smuch as the current
plan has excessive lot and architectural overlap and is devoid of that diversity. Simply put, not all homebuyers
want large yards to maintain, especially in a community that is so full of amenities.
This proposal will also provide 82 additional new homes for families with substantial incomes, incomes that
are anticipated to be equal or greater than Linden Pointe—this is good for Summerly, but even better for the
City as a whole supporting schools, retail and the community.
Summerly will remain more than 300 units below the 1,979 units allowed in the East Lake Specific Plan
Amendment #11 , which Summerly’s roads, infrastructure and parks were designed to support
Pacific Ventures is proud of what Summerly has already become, but even more proud of the legacy that it will
leave behind.
Page 3 of 6
BACKGROUND
2016
Staff Recommends, Planning Commission approved and City Council unanimously
approved Linden Pointe (Unit 24) with minimum lot size 3,525 SF.
May 2017
Summerly submitted a request for an amendment to its tentative tract map and an
amendment to the East Lake Specific Plan.
This request was to modify the lots sizes in two of the seven neighborhoods in the final
phase of Summerly in order to avoid excessive lot and home size overlap in this final
phase by providing a better diversity of lot sizes and, therefore, architectural style and
floor plans for improved lifestyle choice based on consistent market demand.
The request added 84 lots to Summerly, bringing the Summerly community to a total
1,679 units, 300 homes under the 1,979 units that is allowed by the East Lake Specific
Plan.
August 2017
Linden Pointe opens and becomes the top-selling neighborhood in Summerly and one
of its most charming.
November 2017
The City initiated East Lake Specific Plan Amendment #11 was adopted by the City
Council.
Importantly, because the East Lake Specific Plan Amendment #11 was adopted by the
City Council in November 2017, Summerly no longer needed a Specific Plan
Amendment. The City initiated amendment of the East Lake Specific Plan anticipated
and provided for the lot configurations that Summerly was requesting.
Therefore staff removed the Summerly initiated Specific Plan amendment and the
request now is only for a tentative map amendment.
March 6, 2018
The Planning Commission unanimously approved staff’s recommendation to adopt
resolutions supporting Summerly’s tentative map amendment. There was no public
opposition.
March 12, 2018
Lake Elsinore City Council continued action on Summerly’s tentative map amendment.
There was one public speaker who expressed concern with a minimum lot size of
3,312 SF.
March 27, 2018
Notwithstanding staff’s and the Planning Commission’s support of Summerly’s request,
but in response to questions raised after the March 6th Planning Commission meeting,
Summerly has agreed to modify its request and to increase the minimum lot size to
3,500 SF.
That increase in minimum lot size from 3,312 SF to 3,500 SF will result in the loss of
two lots in Unit 20. The resulting minimum lot size in Unit 20 would be similar to the
minimum lot size at Linden Pointe (Unit 24) which was unanimously approved by the
City Council in 2016. The Unit 23 and Unit 25 neighborhoods have minimum lot
sizes larger than Linden Pointe
In addition to this change in lot size, Summerly has also modified its plans to
accommodate several new Summerly Community Association owned neighborhood
trail connections and view/overlook walks within easements in these new
neighborhoods and final development phase. These trail and view/overlook amenities
will be landscaped and enhanced for the use of the Summerly homeowners.

DEMONSTRATING SUMMERLY’S COMMITMENT SINCE 2010
Summerly McMillin has taken the project
from a community of 9 deteriorated model
homes and a closed golf course to a lovely,
vibrant community now home to over 800
families.
Summerly immediately refurbished the first
neighborhood park and then built a second
neighborhood park at a cost of $1M.
Summerly expanded the main recreation
center to create the Summer House
spending an approximately additional $2M
on the facilities to meet homeowner
requests.
Summerly just completed the first two phases
of a $12M, 24 acre regional park.
Summerly has built miles of new City streets
and infrastructure that serve more than just
Summerly.
Summerly has preserved and improved acres
of open space and natural habitat.
Summerly brought in a new HOA
management company to better serve the
Summerly homeowners.
Summerly has done not only what it
was required to do and what it said
it would do, but significantly
more —which is important not only
to the homeowners but to the City .
Today, Summerly serves as the only
catalyst for th e redevelopment of
the East Lake Specific Plan area .

THE PROPOSAL
REQUESTED TMA CONSISTENT WITH EAST LAKE SPECIFIC PLAN
AMENDMENT #11
The proposed Unit 20, 23 and 25 neighborhood lot sizes are consistent
with the recently approved (November 2017) East Lake Specific Plan
Amendment #11.
REASON FOR REQUESTING TMA.
The reason for our request is very simple—as in all master planned
communities, and Summerly is no exception, a diversity of lot, home and
architectural style is important in order to meet a healthy diversity of
buyer life stages and lifestyle choices. Our request in this final phase of
development will modify the current plan which has excessive lot and
architectural overlap and is devoid of that diversity. In effect, we are
rebalancing and improving lifestyle choices.
NEWLY REVISED LOT SIZES LIKE LINDEN POINTE (UNIT 24) OR LARGER.
Two of the new neighborhoods have lot sizes larger than Linden
Pointe and one is very similar.
Linden Pointe was unanimously approved by the City Council in 2016 and is Summerly’s most successful selling
neighborhood.
SUMMARY OF SUMMERLY’S PROPOSED FINAL DEVELOPMENT PHASE
A Diverse Selection of Homes in Eight Neighborhoods:
Five neighborhoods (313 lots) have lots that are 5,000,
5,500 and 6,000 SF or larger.
All eight neighborhoods have an average lot size of
5,598 SF
Remapped lots within Units 20, 23 and 25 will average
4,371 SF, with over half of the lots over 4,000 SF.
All neighborhoods consist of conventional single-family
homes with full 18 ft. driveways, two car garages as well
as on-street parking on standard public streets.
All homes will continue to maintain a minimum five foot
side yard lot (10 foot building separation) as is currently
the case in all existing Summerly neighborhoods.
Anticipated Average Home Sizes on the New Neighborhoods:
Unit 20 (Lot 23): 1,700 SF
Unit 25 (Lot 26): 1,850 SF
Unit 23 (Lot 27): 2,200 SF
Sample Street Scene
Linden Pointe Min Lot Size 3,525 SF
High Demand: Sell as fast as they can build.

AMENITIES IN FINAL DEVELOPMENT PHASE
Sunset Park. Summerly is building a third neighborhood park
that is within walking distance to the new neighborhoods and
plans to open that park well in advance of home sales in the
new neighborhoods. Sunset Park will include several play
structures, picnic and BBQ areas and another fire pit adult
meeting spot.
Trail Connection. In addition, Summerly has decided to modify its
plans in this final development phase (and in the new neighborhoods) to
include several homeowner association trail and view/overlook
connections to enable all homeowners at Summerly to enjoy the mountain
and open space views to the west.
More Homeowners with Views. By placing smaller home neighborhoods along a portion of the outer edge of
Summerly, allows 50% more homes to share the majestic mountain views of that area.
A more traditional plan would place larger, more expensive homes along the edge of the community to capture
the views and largest view premiums possible with smaller homes in the center of the community.
Why did we put this mix of homes on
Summerly’s view edge?
Summerly is a place of diversity with a strong
and vibrant culture of inclusion. The
neighborhoods ebb and flow throughout the
masterplan with amenities anchoring phases.
Summerly is not a city, but a true connected
community where people easily walk all over.
Essentially, for Summerly to share one of its
best features with several diverse
neighborhoods matches the resident culture of
Summerly.
Kids play park with picnic area, grass hill play,
open turf, fire pit, outdoor “dining room” and
lounger overlook.
