Whereas, on March 26, 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 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 LVSP, 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, LVSP, 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
and adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 2003 -03 for the LVSP. 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 Council makes the following
findings regarding Planning Application No. 2018 -55 (Residential Design Review No. 2018 -18):
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 and has a Land Use Designation of Detached Residential (DR). 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 LVSP. 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 LVSP and all applicable provisions of the LEMC.
The residential development is appropriate to the site and surrounding developments. The
two (2) 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 March 5, 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 Mitigated Negative Declaration. Therefore, no additional
environmental review is necessary.
Section 4: Based upon all of the evidence presented and the above findings, the Council hereby
approves Planning Application No. 2018 -55 (Residential Design Review No. 2018 -18).
Section 5: This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
