The project also proposes the design and construction of 60 detached two-story condominium units ranging in size from 1,793 sq. ft. to 2,288 sq. ft., preliminary plotting, conceptual wall and fence plan, and related improvements for TTM 38008. The project is located within Phase 8, Planning Area 2B of the Canyon Hills Specific Plan, Amendment No. 4, on the northeast corner of the intersection of Railroad Canyon Road and Tassel Way (APN: 363-940- 011); and, Whereas, pursuant to Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC) Chapter 16.24 (Tentative Map) the Planning Commission (Commission) has been delegated with the responsibility of making recommendations to the City Council (Council) pertaining to tentative maps; and, Whereas, on June 1, 2021, 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; and, Whereas, pursuant to Section 16.24.120 of the LEMC, the Council has the responsibility of making decisions to approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove recommendations of the Commission for tentative maps; and, Whereas, on June 22, 2021, at a duly noticed Public Hearing, 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 appropriate Planning and Zoning Laws, the Canyon Hills Specific Plan, Amendment No. 4 (CHSP #4), and Chapter 16 (Subdivisions) of the LEMC. Section 2: The Council finds and determines that no new CEQA documentation is necessary. The project comprises the whole of an action that was analyzed in the previously adopted Addendum to the FEIR (SCH# 87111606) for Canyon Hills Specific Plan, Amendment No. 3 (CHSP #3), which applied to Phases 7 and 8 of the Canyon Hills Specific Plan. Under CHSP #3, Phase 8 was approved for the construction of up 915 multifamily and 9.1 acres of commercial development. To date, 456 multifamily units have been constructed for Phase 8 leaving a capacity of 459 multifamily units. CHSP #4 changed the Land Use Designation of the commercial development (Planning Area 2B) located within Phase 8 from Neighborhood Commercial (C‐1) to DocuSign Envelope ID: 9E457BF6-FCF1-4F3C-9E4F-4F26412FA433 CC Reso. No. 2021-80 Page 2 of 4 Multifamily 2 Residential District (MF2). The proposed 60-unit condominium project within Planning Area 2B would fall within the development yields contemplated by the CHSP #3 and would not result in any additional impact beyond what was already analyzed in the certified FEIR and addenda. No substantial changes which require major revisions to the EIR exist and no new information of substantial importance which require revisions to the earlier EIR exist. Therefore, no further environmental review is necessary.
