Lake Elsinore (City) requesting approval of Revision No. t to Vesting Tentative Tract Map (111iUt;
No. 36557 proposing to revise the previously approved tentative map to include a phasing plan
and to relocate the public park due to an existing 3O-inch water line. The revision relocates the
public park within Phase 1 (Village 3), reduces the number of lots by two (2), and allows the
tentative map to be developed in seven (7) phases. vfiM 36557, Revision No. 1 will reflect a
subdivision of 150.8 acres into 450 single-family residential lots, one 5.1-acre gross (4.3-acre net)
park site, seven (7) landscape lots, four (4) open space lots, one (1) sewer lift station, and three
(3) water quality and drainage basin lots that will be developed in seven (7) phases (project). The
Project is located southwesterly of lnterstate '15 on the northern side of existing Lakeshore Drive
between Dryden street and rerra cotta Road (ApNs: 378-040-004 thru oo7 , 012,389-1 8o-oot ,
002, and 389-190-002); and,
whereas, pursuant to Lake Elsinore Municipal code (LEMC) chapter'16.24 (Tentative Map) the
Plannrng commission (commission) has been delegated with the responsibility of making
recommendations to the City Council (Council) pertaining to revisions to the tentative map; and,
whereas, on June 18,2019, 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.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMiJIISSION OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: Priorto making a recommendation to the Council, the Commission has reviewed and
analyzed the proposed Project pursuant to the appropriate Planning and Zoning Laws, the
Terracina Specific Plan, and Chapter 16 (Subdivisions) of the LEMC.
section 2: The commission finds and determines that no new cEeA documentation is
necessary. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, the proposed revision 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 mitigated
negative declaration. All potentially significant impacts have been avoided or mitigated pursuant
to the earlier mitigated negative declaration and none of the conditions described in Section 1 5162
exist. MND No. 2015-01 (SCH # 2013091083) was adopted by the City Councit on Juty 14, 2OtS.
VTTM 36557 was revised to relocate the public park within Phase 'l (Village 3), reduce the number
of lots by two (2), and allow the tentative map to be developed in seven (7) phases. The phasing
plan will not increase the intensity of the project, but will allow the previously approved poect to
be developed in phases. ln addition, the park relocation is a minor reconfiguration of the project
layout, which has resulted in the loss of two (2) lots. No substantial changes which require major
revisions to the mitigated negative declaration exist and no new information of substantial
importance which require revisions to the earlier mitigated negative declaration exist.

objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the GP (Government Code
Section 66473.5).

and densities associated with the Terracina Specific Plan provide a variety of lot and home
size product type in order to implement the obiectives of the City's GP and the proiect
proponents. The Terracina Specific Ptan allows a maximum of 452 homes. The proposed
revision reduces the proposed units to 450 homes. The proposed revision is consistent
with the Terracina Specific Plan. The Tenacina Specific Plan was found to be consistent
with the GP. Therefore, the Proiect is consistent with the GP.
b. Alt offsite mitigation measures have been identified in a manner consistent with the GP.
c. All recreational amenities have been provided in a manner consistent with the GP.
2. The site of the proposed subdivision of land is physically suitable for the proposed density of
development in accordance with the GP.

have been considered and balanced.

use plan, development and design standards, and programs, and all other appropiate

Element Policy 3.1 to'tJse the City's GP, Municipal Code, other land use and development
plans, and the devetopment process to provide housrng sites that meet the identified local
need."
4. Subject to the attached Conditions of Approval, the proposed division of land or type of
improvements is not likely to result in any significant environmental impacts.

identified potentially significant environmental effects but proposa/s made or agreed to by
the applicant avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where no significant effects
would occur. Mitigation measures are required to ensure all potentially significant impacts
are reduced to levels of insignificance. VTTM 36557 has been conditioned to comply with
these mitigation measures.

relocating the public park within Phase 1 (Village 3), reducing the number of lots by two
