Whereas, Pardee Homes, LLC, has filed an application with the City of Lake Elsinore requesting
approval of Planning Application 2016 -00044 (Residential Design Review No. 2019 - 00002) for
the construction of 163 detached single - family dwelling units with associated features and
facilities upon a previously approved condominium map within Tract No. 33267of the Village at
Lakeshore Specific -Plan (APNs: 379 - 050 -034 and 006) (the Project); and
Whereas, pursuant to Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC) Chapter 17.184 (Design Review)
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, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res. Code §§ 21000
et seq.: CEQA) and the State Guidelines for Implementation of CEQA (14 C.C.R. §§ 15000 et
seq.: CEQA Guidelines), public agencies are expressly encouraged to reduce delay and
paperwork associated with the implementation of CEQA by using previously prepared
environmental documents when those previously prepared documents adequately address the
potential impacts of the proposed project (CEQA Guidelines Section 15006); and
Whereas, CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 establishes the standard to be used when
determining whether subsequent environmental documentation is necessary and says that when
an environmental document has already been adopted for a project, no subsequent
environmental documentation is needed for subsequent entitlements which comprise the whole
of the action unless substantial changes or new information are presented by the project; and
Whereas, an Initial Study was prepared for TTM 33267. The Initial Study identified potentially
significant environmental effects but proposals made or agreed to by the applicant avoid the
effects or mitigate the effects to a point where no significant effects would occur.
When examining the Project in light of the conditions of approval and mitigation measures there
is no substantial evidence that the Project may have a significant effect on the environment.
Mitigation measures are required to ensure all potentially significant impacts are reduced to levels
of insignificance. Tentative Tract Map No. 33267 has been conditioned to comply with these
mitigation measures.
Whereas, the Project does not present substantial changes or new information regarding the
potential environmental impacts of development; and
Whereas, on April 16, .2019, at a duly noticed public hearing the Commission has considered
evidence presented by the Community Development Department and other interested parties with
respect to this item.

decisions to approve, modify, or disapprove recommendations of the Commission for residential
design review applications; and,
Whereas, on May 11, 2019, 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 proposed design for the 163 detached single - family
dwelling units upon a previously approved condominium map within Tract No. 33267 and has
found it acceptable. The Planning Commission has reviewed and analyzed the proposed project
pursuant to the California Planning and Zoning Laws (Cal. Gov. Code §§ 59000 et seq.), the Lake
Elsinore General Plan (GP), the Village at Lakeshore Specific Plan No. 1, and the LEMC and
finds and determines that the proposed Project is consistent with the requirements of California
Planning and Zoning Law and with the goals and policies of the GP, The Village at Lakeshore
Specific Plan, and the LEMC.
Section 2. The 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
Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) No. 2006 -05 (State Clearinghouse No. 200671027) and
was adopted by the City Council on September 12, 2006. Addendum #1 to MND 2006 -05 was
subsequently approved by the City Council on June 23, 2015. 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 Lake Elsinore Municipal Code Chapter 17.184, the Council
makes the following findings regarding Residential Design Review No. 2019 -02:
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 GP Land Use designation of
Specific Plan, is located in the Village at Lakeshore 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 Village at Lakeshore Specific Plan No. 1. 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 Village at Lakeshore Specific Plan and all applicable provisions of the
LEMC.

The single- family detached residential development is appropriate to the site and
surrounding developments. 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 Chapter 17.184.070 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 17.184.
Pursuant to Section 17.184.070 of the LEMC, the Project was considered by the Planning
Commission at a duly noticed public hearing held on April 16, 2019. The Project, as
reviewed and conditioned by all applicable City divisions, departments and agencies, will
not have a significant effect on the environment. Approval of the Project 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 the evidence presented, the above findings, and the conditions of
approval imposed upon the Project, the Council hereby approves Planning Application 2016 -44
(Residential Design Review No. 2019 -04).
Section 5. This Resolution shall take effect from and after the date of its passage and adoption.
Section 6: The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution and enter it into the book
