revisions to Tentative Tract Maps; and,
Whereas, on March 20,2018, at a duly noticed Public Hearing, the Commtssion considered
evidence presented by the Community Development Department and other interested parties with
respect to this item.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERi'INE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: Prior to making a recommendation to the Council, the Commission has reviewed and
analyzed the revision to Tract Map No. 3'1920 pursuant to the appropriate Planning and Zoning
Laws, and Chapter 16 (Subdivisions) of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC).
Section 2: The 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 SS
21000 et seq.: "CEQA") and the Guidelines for lmplementation of CEQA (14 California Code of
Regulations SS 15000 et seq.: "CEQA Guidelines"). Specifically, the Commission finds that
environmental clearance and analysis for VfiM 30836 is provided by Addendum No. 2 to the
Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR (ElR), approved by the Council on January 24,2004.
Environmental clearance and analysis for WTM 35773 is provided by Negative Declaration No.
2008-12 (ND) approved by the Council on November 25, 2008. The proposed poect is consistent
with the Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan, VfiM No. 30836 and Vl-tM 35773 and therefore, does
not conflict with the findings and discussions contained in the Addendum No. 2 document or the
ND. The EIR concluded that significant environmental impacts will not result with implementation
of those mitigation measures contained in the original 1989 Final Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan
EIR and the 2004 Addendum No. 2 EIR for VfiM 30836. The ND concluded that the development
of VfiM 35773 would not create any adverse impacts. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 no substantial changes, which require major revisions to the EIR or ND, exist, and no new
information of substantial importance, which require revisions to the earlier EIR or ND, exist.
Future development or further subdivision of land will be further evaluated for consistency with
CEQA. Therefore, no further environmental documentation is necessary.

other appropiate requirements contained in the GP, the East Lake Specific Plan and
Subdivision Map Act.

service requirements of its residents and the available fiscal and environmental resources
have been considered and balanced.
The modified Tract Map is cons,stenf with the land use plan, development and design
standards, and programs, and all other appropriate requirements contained in the GP. The
modified VTTM 35773 is consistent with the residential land uses within the specific plan and
applicable development and design standards.

conflict with the findings and dlscussions contained in the Addendum No. 2 document or the
Negative Declaration. The EIR concluded that significant environmental impacts will not result
with implementation of those mitigation measures contained in the original 1989 Final Alberhill
Ranch Specific Plan EIR and the 2004 Addendum No. 2 EIR for VTTM 30836. The Negative
Declaration concluded that the development of VTTM 35773 would not create any adverse
impacts. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 no substantial changes, which require
major revisions to the EIR or ND, exist, and no new information of substantial impoiance,
which requhe revisions to the earlier EIR or ND, exist. Future development or fufther
