NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE DOES HEREBY

Section 1: The Council has reviewed and analyzed TPM No. 37773 pursuant to the appropriate
Planning and Zoning Laws, the Lake Elsinore General Plan (GP), the LEMC, and Chapter 16
(Subdivisions) of the LEMC, and the Subdivision Map Act.
Section 2: That in accordance with State Planning and Zoning Law and the Lake Elsinore
Municipal Code, the Council makes the following findings for approval of TPM No. 37773:
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 Project has a General Plan Land Use designation of Limited Industrial (LI). This
designation provides for industrial parks, warehouses, manufacturing, research and
development, public and quasi -public uses, and similar and compatible uses. The Zone
Change is proposing to change the zoning designation of a small portion of the Project site
from Limited Manufacturing (M-1) to Commercial Manufacturing (C-M) to ensure that the
subject property has only has one zoning designation. The C-M zone is compatible with the
LI Land Use Designation. The Tentative Parcel Map is a subdivision of an 8.46-acre site into
CC Reso. No. 2020-020

four (4) parcels and a remainder parcel. The Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with the
designated land use, development and design standards, and all other appropriate
requirements contained in the General Plan and the Subdivision Map Act.
2. The site of the proposed subdivision of land is physically suitable for the proposed density of
development in accordance with the General Plan.
The Project has a General Plan Land Use designation of Limited Industrial (LI). The Tentative
Parcel Map is a subdivision of an 8.46-acre site into four (4) parcels and a remainder parcel.
The Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with the designated land use, development and design
standards, and all other appropriate requirements contained in the General Plan and the
Subdivision Map Act. Any future development for this area is required to conform to all
standards set forth in the General Plan.
3. The effects that this project are 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 Project has a General Plan Land Use designation of Limited Industrial (LI). The Tentative
Parcel Map is a subdivision of an 8.46-acre site into four (4) parcels and a remainder parcel.
The Project will not have a direct impact on housing.
4. The design of the proposed division of land or type of improvements is not likely to cause
serious public health problems.
The Tentative Parcel Map has been adequately conditioned by all applicable departments and
agencies and will not result in any significant environmental impacts. The proposed
subdivision, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
Section 3: That in accordance with the City of Lake Elsinore's General Plan Environmental
Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2005121019) (EIR), Public Resources Code section
21083.3, and CEQA Guidelines section 15183; the Council makes the following findings regarding
the approval of TPM No. 37773:
1. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Plan and an EIR was certified for the
General Plan. The General Plan EIR adopted by the City of Lake Elsinore on December 13,
2011 (per Resolution No. 2011-070) analyzed potential environmental impacts.
2. There are no environmental impacts peculiar to the subject property that were not analyzed
in General Plan EIR. The subject site does not contain any features that would create
environmental impacts that would be peculiar to the subject site beyond what was originally
analyzed and evaluated in the General Plan and EIR.
3. There are no significant environmental impacts, including off -site impacts or cumulative
impacts, that were not previously analyzed in General Plan EIR. That EIR analyzed the
environmental impacts associated with the conversion of vacant or underutilized land to
commercial uses. This division of land, without any additional development approval, does
not present any potential environmental impacts that were not analyzed in the EIR. Moreover,
there is insufficient information to conduct project -level review at this time and any attempt to
GC Reso. No. 2020-020
Page 3 of 3
provide project -level review would be speculative. Accordingly, the General Plan EIR analysis
provides adequate program level of analysis of potential impacts.
4. No substantial new information that was not known at the time General Plan EIR was certified
has been discovered indicating that a significant impact identified in that EIR would be more
severe than previously determined. No information has been presented to, or discovered by,
the City that indicates the environmental impacts associated with increased commercial
development will be more severe than analyzed in the General Plan EIR.
5. That the decision regarding the environmental analysis and discussion above reflects the
independent judgment and analysis of the City.
Section 4: Based upon all of the evidence presented, the above findings, and the conditions of
approval imposed upon the Tentative Map, the Council hereby approves TPM No. 37773.
Section 5: This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
Section 6: The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution and enter it into the book
of original Resolutions.
Passed and Adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Lake Elsinore,
California, this 24' day of March 2020.
