Section 3: That in accordance with Section 17.415.050.G of the LEMC, the Council makes the
following findings regarding IDR No. 2019-01:
1. The Project, as approved, will comply with the goals and objectives of the General Plan,
Specific Plan and the Zoning District in which the Project is located.
The Project complies with the goals and objectives of the General Plan because it will assist
in achieving the development of a well-balanced and functional mix of residential,
commercial, industrial, open space, recreational, and institutional land uses. The Project
will serve to diversify and expand Lake Elsinore’s economic base.
2. The Project complies with the design directives contained in the General Plan and all other
applicable provisions of the LEMC.
The Project is appropriate to the site and surrounding developments and blends in with the
surrounding industrial development. Sufficient setbacks and enhanced onsite landscaping
have been provided thereby creating interest and varying vistas as a person moves along
abutting streets and within the park. The Project will complement the quality of existing
development and will create a visually pleasing, non-detractive relationship between the
proposed development and existing projects through the use of a ‘Contemporary’
architectural design that is similar to existing industrial developments in the vicinity. In
addition, safe and efficient circulation has been achieved onsite.
3. Conditions and safeguards pursuant to Section 17.415.050.G.3 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 Section 17.415.050.
Pursuant to Section 17.415.050.E of the LEMC, the Project was considered by the Planning
Commission at a duly noticed Public Hearing held on February 18, 2020 and subsequently
by the City Council at a noticed Public Hearing on April 28, 2020. The Project, as reviewed
and conditioned by all applicable City divisions, departments and agencies, will not have a
significant effect on the environment.
Section 4: Based upon all of the evidence presented, the above findings, and the conditions of
approval imposed upon the Project, the Council hereby approves IDR No. 2019-01.
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,
