DISCUSSION
Items of discussion at the Planning Commission meeting were generally related to clarification of
various improvements and the environmental impact(air quality)which could not be mitigated to less
than significant pursuant to the findings and conclusions of the Draft Environmental Impact Report. In
response, staff explained that California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA)provides allowances for
the decision making agencies to accept the adverse environmental effects by preparing a Statement of
Overriding Considerations(Included as an Exhibit)balancing the unavoidable environmental risks with
specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits.
Ensuing,the Commission requested clarification of the various improvements proposed for this project.
For instance, the Commission noted that although the chain link along the perimeter of the Flood
Control was appropriate due requirements mandated by the Riverside County Flood Control,they would
not generally support chain link fencing within the City limits. Also, the Planning Commission
00
requested clarification of the various Conditional Use Permits. In accord, although the Planning `'
Commission has been granted the authority to approve Conditional Use Permits, because the
Environmental Impact Report identified the use permits as an element of the project description,they
are being forwarded to the City Council for approval.
In conclusion, it was the unanimous consensus of the Commission to fully accept the design of the
proposed project as proposed.
FISCAL IMPACTS
The development will have a large fiscal impact to the community and the City in a positive way. The
development has been estimated to generate approximately$1,200,000 in the first full year in sales tax
for the City at project build out. Per the reimbursement agreement approved by the City Council,the
developer will be reimbursed for major infrastructure costs up to$90,000 per year for 12 years,up to no
more than$9,000,000. The City will also be positively impacted by the significant increase in available
jobs and the growth in new retail businesses in the surrounding areas, such as Home Depot and other
"Big Boxes"that will be drawn by the prime location.

The Final Environmental Impact Report(EIR),which was prepared in accordance with Section 15089
(Preparing the Final EIR) of the State CEQA Guidelines, provides the necessary environmental

clearances and analyses for the proposed applications. Although the Final EIR concluded that
unavoidable adverse impacts related to air quality would result with the proposed applications, a
Statement of Overriding Considerations has been prepared in accordance with Section 15093 of the
CEQA Guidelines, which "balances" the proposed project against this unavoidable environmental
effect.

FINDINGS—FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
1. Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which avoid or
substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the Final EIR.
Based on the information provided in the Final EIR prepared for the subject project known as
the Lake Elsinore Market Place, it was concluded that specific overriding economic, legal,

Associates, Inc. Staff, concluded, based on the Traffic Study and the mitigations required that
the Level of Service for the intersections in the Study Area will not be below a LOS "D"as a
result of this project and cumulative projects in the "Study Area".
2. The proposed General Plan Amendment will permit reasonable development of the area
consistent-with its constraints and will make the area more compatible with adjacent properties.
The proposed amendment to the Circulation Element of the General Plan has adequately
analyzed thepotential impacts of the projectproposed as well as the cumulativeprojects within
the "Study Area"and has proposed recommended improvements and mitigations to the public
right-of-ways, thereby allowing the applicant to develop the site with the proposed shopping
center. Consequently the analysis, along with mitigations will in turn bring about a site more
compatible with the adjacent properties located in the City and the County of Riverside.
3. The proposed General Plan Amendment would establish a land use density and usage more in
character with the subject property's location, access, and constraints. ../
The proposed amendment to the Circulation Element of the General Plan would establish a
usage more in conformance with the traffic impacts associated with a development of this type
as well as cumulative projects within the "Study Area". Additionally, the proposed project site
would be in close proximity of any necessary services needed by persons working and shopping
within the projects parameters.
4. The proposed General Plan Amendment will not have a significant effect on the environment.
The proposed amendment to the Circulation Element of the General Plan was included within
the description of the project's Initial Study and subsequent Draft Environmental Impact Report
(SCH No. 2004021018) and has been adequately prepared and analyzed. Based on the
information provided, staff concluded that specific overriding economic, legal, social,
technological or other benefits of the project outweigh the one (1) unavoidable impact (air
quality) that cannot be avoided and that with the recommended mitigations, the proposed
project will not have a significant effect on the environment.
FINDINGS—TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP
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 parcel map as designed assists in achieving the development of a well-balanced and
functional mix ofresidential, commercial, industrial, open space,recreational and institutional

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Lake Elsinore at a regular meeting
held on May 18, 2004 made its report upon the desirability of the proposed project and made its
recommendations in favor of certifying the proposed Final EIR by adopting Planning
Commission Resolution No. 2004-67 recommending to the City Council certification of the
Final Environmental Impact Report No. 2004-03; and
WHEREAS, public notice of said applications has been given, and the City Council has
considered evidence presented by the Community Development Department and other interested
parties at a public hearing held with respect to this item on May 25, 2004;
WHEREAS, Section 21081.6 of CEQA requires that where an EIR has been prepared for
a project for which mitigation measures are adopted, that a mitigation monitoring or reporting
program be adopted for said project, and pursuant to Section 21081.6 of CEQA, the City has
prepared a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.
WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 15132 of the State CEQA Guidelines, Final
Environmental Impact Report No. 2004-03; (Final EIR 2004-03)consists of:
a. Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) No. 2004-03 with Technical Appendices

c. Statement of Fact and Findings for FEIR No. 2004-03; prepared May 2004;
d. Statement of Overriding Considerations for FEIR No. 2004-03; prepared January 2004;
e. Mitigation Monitoring Program for FEIR No. 2004-03,prepared January 2004.
NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Lake Elsinore DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE as follows:
1. The City Council has reviewed and considered Final EIR 2004-03 and finds that it is
complete, contains all required information, and has been completed in compliance with
CEQA; the Draft EIR was presented to the Planning Commission and the Planning
Commission reviewed and considered the information contained in the Draft EIR prior to
recommending to the City Council certification of the Final EIR; and the Final EIR reflects
the Planning Commission's independent judgment and analysis.
CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 2004-_
PAGE TWO
2. In compliance with Section 15074 of the CEQA Guidelines, Final EIR 2004-03 and the
records of the proceedings upon which this decision is based are and will be on file with the
City of Lake Elsinore, 130 South Main Street, Lake Elsinore, California 92530.
3. This City Council finds that Final EIR 2004-03 has identified all significant environmental �r
effects of General Plan Amendment No. 2004-01; Tentative Parcel Map No. 32369;
Commercial Design Review No. 2003-13; and Conditional Use Permit No(s). 2004-04
through 2004-11 and 2004-17 through 2004-19 and adopts findings set forth in Section
21081 of CEQA and Section 15091 of the State CEQA Guidelines with respect to each
significant environmental effect identified in Final EIR 2004-03, and each alternative
considered in Final EIR 2004-03, and the explanation of its reasoning with respect to each
such finding set forth in the document entitled, Statement of Findings and Facts in Support.
4. This City Council finds that although Final EIR 2004-03 identifies certain significant
environmental effects that may occur if General Plan Amendment No. 2004-01; Tentative
Parcel Map No. 32369; Commercial Design Review No. 2003-13; and Conditional Use
Permit No(s). 2004-04 through 2004-11 and 2004-17 through 2004-19, are approved, most
significant effects that can feasibly be mitigated or avoided have been reduced to an
acceptable level by the imposition of project design features, standard conditions or
mitigation measures, all of which have been identified and set forth in Final EIR 2004-03,
and all of which are hereby specifically adopted by this Planning Commission to mitigate the
environmental impacts of the proposed project, except those impacts related to air quality.
5. This City Council finds that the unavoidable significant environmental effects identified in
Final EIR 2004-03, related to air quality have not been reduced to levels of insignificance
have been substantially lessened in their severity by the imposition of the mitigation
measures, and are clearly outweighed by specific economic, legal, social, technological and
other project benefits which offset these unavoidable impacts, and which are set forth in the
Statement of Overriding Considerations, and adopts the Statement of Overriding
AGENDA ITEM NO.-
PAGE V, OF
Considerations, which support and justify approval of the General Plan Amendment No.
2004-01; Tentative Parcel Map No. 32369; Commercial Design Review No. 2003-13; and
Conditional Use Permit No(s). 2004-04 through 2004-11 and 2004-17 through 2004-19
notwithstanding certain unavoidable significant environmental effects which cannot feasibly
be substantially mitigated.
6. This City Council finds that the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program establishes a
mechanism and procedures for implementing and verifying the implementation of and
compliance with the project design features, and mitigation measures pursuant to Public
Resources Code Section 21081.6, and adopts the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program.
7. This City Council finds that Final EIR 2004-03 serves as adequate and appropriate
environmental documentation for the General Plan Amendment No. 2004-01; Tentative
Parcel Map No. 32369; Commercial Design Review No. 2003-13; and Conditional Use
Permit No(s). 2004-04 through 2004-11 and 2004-17 through 2004-19 and hereby
recommends that the City Council certify Final EIR 2004-03 as complete and adequate, and
fully complies with the requirements of CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City's
environmental analysis procedures.
PURSUANT TO THE ABOVE FINDINGS This City Council of the City of Lake
Elsinore resolves that Final EIR 2004-03 serves as adequate and appropriate environmental
documentation for General Plan Amendment No. 2004-01; Tentative Parcel Map No. 32369;
Commercial_Design Review No. 2003-13; and Conditional Use Permit No(s). 2004-04 through
2004-11 and 2004-17 through 2004-19 and hereby certifies Final EIR 2004-03 as complete and
adequate, and fully complies with the requirements of CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and

SECTION 2. That in accordance with State Planning and Zoning law and the City of
Lake Elsinore the following findings for the approval of General Plan Amendment No. 2004-01
have been made as follows:
1. The proposed General Plan Amendment will not be; a) detrimental to the health, safety,
comfort or general welfare of the persons residing or working within the neighborhood of
the proposed amendment or within the City, or b) injurious to the property or
improvements in the neighborhood or within the City.
The proposed amendment to the Circulation Element of the General Plan has been
analyzed relative to its potentiality to be detrimental to the health, safety, comfort and
welfare of the persons residing or working within the neighborhood of the proposed
amendment. The primary issue identified by staff relates to the traffic impacts of the
proposed project and cumulative projects within the "Study Area" as described in the
Traffic Study prepared by Darnell & Associates, Inc. Staff, concluded, based on the
Traffic Study and the mitigations required that the Level of Service.for the intersections
in the Study Area will not be below a LOS "D" as a result of this project and cumulative
projects in the "Study Area".
2. The proposed General Plan Amendment will permit reasonable development of the area
�. consistent with its constraints and will make the area more compatible with adjacent
properties.
The proposed amendment to the Circulation Element of the General Plan has adequately
analyzed the potential impacts of the project proposed as well as the cumulative projects
within the "Study Area" and has proposed recommended improvements and mitigations
to the public right-of-ways, thereby allowing the applicant to develop the site with the
proposed shopping center. Consequently the analysis, along with mitigations will in turn
bring about a site more compatible with the adjacent properties located in the City and
the County of Riverside.
3. The proposed General Plan Amendment would establish a land use density and usage
more in character with the subject property's location, access, and constraints.
The proposed amendment to the Circulation Element of the General Plan would establish
a usage more in conformance with the traffic impacts associated with a development of
this type as well as cumulative projects within the "Study Area". Additionally, the
proposed project site would be in close proximity of any necessary services needed by
persons working and shopping within the projects parameters.
4. The proposed General Plan Amendment will not have a significant effect on the
environment.
The proposed amendment to the Circulation Element of the General Plan was included
within the description of the project's Initial Study and subsequent Draft Environmental
Impact Report (SCH No. 2004021018) and has been adequately prepared and analyzed.
Based on the information provided, staff concluded that specific overriding economic,
legal, social, technological or other benefits of the project outweigh the one (1)
unavoidable impact (air quality) that cannot be avoided and that with the recommended

mitigations, the proposed project will not have a significant effect on the environment.
PURSUANT TO THE ABOVE FINDINGS, IT IS RESOLVED by the City Council
of the City of Lake Elsinore, California, that the City of Lake Elsinore Circulation Element of the
General Plan hereof be amended for the Second time in calendar year 2004 to reflect General
Plan Amendment No. 2004-01.

BACKGROUND
The subject property,herein described,was annexed into the City of Lake Elsinore from the County
of Riverside in 1992, at which time, the property, was designated General Commercial as described
in the City's General Plan (General Plan Amendment No. 92-2). Consequently, the property in
question was also zoned C-2, General Commercial (Zone Change No. 92-5). Subsequently,on April
1, 2003, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed Public Hearing on the Vested Parry's (DEH,
LLC) application for a Development Agreement, whereupon it was recommended to the City
Council approval of said agreement. Ensuing, on April 8, 2003 the City Council adopted Ordinance
No.1094 approving this Agreement,which became effective on May 16,2003.
Following, the application known as Commercial Design Review 2003-13 was submitted on
November 13, 2003. The entire project, which consists of several applications, was submitted at
various stages throughout the process timeline. Essentially, as the project progressed and became
more defined,processes required became clearer.
Additionally, in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) the City
prepared an Initial Study,whose findings determined that an Environmental Impact Report would
be required in order to assess the potential environmental effects associated with this project.
Consequently, on February 10, 2004 a Notice of Preparation (NOP) was distributed to public
agencies for the required 30 day review and comment period. Likewise the preparation of the Draft
Focused Environmental Impact Report was begun under the supervision of the City. In compliance
with CEQA,the Draft Environmental Impact Report was then sent to the State Clearinghouse to be
circulated for the 45 day review period, which ended on April 28, 2004. Five (5) comment letters,
identified in this staff report,were received as a result of this public review period.
PROJECT LOCATION
The proposed 50.08 acre project site is located north-northeast of Interstate 15 (I-15), north-
northwest of State Route 74 (SR-74) and east of and contiguous to Dexter Avenue within the City
of Lake Elsinore and Assessor Parcel Number 377-040-027.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION(S)
DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
The applicant requests the Planning Commission to find the "Draft" Environmental Impact Report
adequate and recommend to the City Council adoption of (EIR/SCH No. 2004021018) which was
prepared in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Public Resources
Code Section 21000 et seq., the CEQA Guidelines (Section 15000 et seq) as promulgated by the
California Resources Agency and the Governor's Office of Planning and Research, and the
Procedures and Guidelines of the City of Lake Elsinore. The purpose of this environmental
document is to assess the potential environmental effects associated with the subject project known
as the Lake Elsinore Market Place, and to propose mitigation measures,where required,to reduce
impacts to less than significant levels.
In view of that, an Initial Study was prepared by the City of Lake Elsinore in February 2004. Based
on the findings of that Initial Study,it was concluded that the project implementation could result in
significant environmental impacts. Considering these findings, it was determined that a Draft
Environmental Impact Report was necessary. Subsequently, on February 10, 2004 a Notice of
Preparation (NOP) of the Draft EIR was circulated for public review. Ensuing, on March 15, 2004
the Draft EIR was distributed to various public agencies for a period of 45 days as required by
CEQA. As a result,the City of Lake Elsinore received a total of five (5) letters from public agencies
(See Draft EIR). The comment letters are listed below:

Responses have been prepared for each written letter referenced above and will be included in the
Final Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2004021018).
In essence, the Draft EIR identified one (1) unavoidable significant impact (Air Quality) that
cannot be reduced to less than significant levels by the adoption of feasible mitigation measures.
Because this impact is unavoidable, the City of Lake Elsinore is required by CEQA to find that
specific overriding economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits of the Project outweigh
the significant impacts of the environment. Essentially, the EIR determined that the direct and
indirect emissions of ROG and NOx from the proposed project would be in exceedance of the daily
emissions threshold allowed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District. Decisively, a
Statement of Overriding consideration will be required as a part of the Final EIR.
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 2004-01.
The applicant requests approval to amend the Circulation Element Roadway Cross-Section of the
General Plan by adding a roadway "section" identified as a "Modified Collector". Likewise, the
applicant also requests approval to amend the Circulation Plan of the General Plan by changing the
roadway classification of Dexter Avenue, from Central Avenue to Nichols Road, to the same
("Modified" Collector 2-lane) and to eliminate the parkway element and modify the raised median of
the six (6) lane State Highway "Urban Arterial" roadway cross-section shown for Central Avenue
(Hwy 74). The review and analysis of this General Plan Amendment is pursuant to Government SNOW

Code Section(s) 65350 through 65362, the Lake Elsinore General Plan and Chapter 17.92
(Hearings) of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC).
Essentially, the Traffic Study prepared by Darnell and Associates on February 16. 2004, found that
the proposed shopping commercial development will have an average daily traffic volume more
suitable to a Modified Collector (2-lane) rather than a Major 100' right-of-way as defined by the
Circulation Element of the General Plan Roadway Cross Sections. Additionally, the existing right-
of-way for Dexter Avenue does not meet current Major Street geometric standard guidelines relating
to horizontal curves radii and would therefore be prohibited by right of way constraints from
adjacent property uses.
Secondly, the General Plan Amendment, contained herein, also proposes an amendment to the
Circulation Plan of the General Plan by changing the roadway classification of Dexter Avenue, from
Central Avenue to Nichols Road, to the same ("Modified" Collector 2-lane) and to eliminate the
parkway element and modify the raised median of the six (6) lane State Highway "Urban Arterial"
'1 roadway cross-section shown for Central Avenue (SR-74). Essentially, based on the Traffic Study
referenced above, Central Avenue, between Dexter and Cambern Avenue(s) will ultimately need to
provide three (3) eastbound through lanes, three (3) westbound through lanes with a deceleration
lane for project ingress, and dual left turns to Dexter and Cambern Avenue(s). Consequently,these
improvements would require a curb to curb width of 125 feet along the deceleration lane and 118
feet for the remaining portion of Central Avenue, eliminating the parkway landscape section from
the Circulation Roadway Cross-section.
TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 32369.
The applicant is requesting approval of Tentative Parcel Map 32369, pursuant to Section 16
"Subdivisions" of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC), Chapter 17.48 (C-2, General
Commercial) of the LEMC and Section(s) 66424 and 66427 of the California Subdivision Map Act
(CSMA). Essentially, the Tentative Parcel Map, contained herein, proposes to create a twenty (20)
lot parcel map for the commercial shopping center, known as the "Lake Elsinore Market Place".
Generally, commercial parcel maps are defined as "subdivisions" pursuant to Section 66463 of the
California Subdivision Map Act (CSMA). Consequently, this project requires both, Planning
Commission and City Council consideration pursuant to the requirements of Section 16
"Subdivisions" of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC). Additionally,since the buildings will
be located on separate legal lots as defined by the Tentative Parcel Map contained herein, a
Recorded Reciprocal Access and Parking Agreement will be required in order to allow for "shared
parking" as well as ingress/egress from one parcel to another. The following is a compilation of the
lots and their relative size:

The Traffic Impact Analysis prepared by Darnell&Associates, Inc. on February 16, 2004, included;
documentation of existing traffic conditions (intersections and segments) in the vicinity of the site;
an evaluation of existing traffic conditions (intersections and segments) with the proposed project
(2005 Project Build out Year); evaluation of existing traffic conditions (intersections and segments)
with the proposed project plus other projects; and determination of impacts pertaining to the
Circulation Element roadway classification on Dexter Avenue. Additionally, cumulative project
impacts were included in the short term cumulative analysis. The following projects were included
in this cumulative analysis:
• Home Depot Proposed 232,000 square foot commercial shopping
center located on the north west corner of Central
and Collier Avenue(s)
• Ramsgate Specific Plan for residential,commercial, school and
park uses.
• TM 31792 A proposed tentative map consisting of 454
apartment units.
• Commercial Center A possible shopping center to be located east of
Cambem and north of Central Avenue(s).
Essentially, the Traffic Study found that all study intersections currently operate at acceptable LOS
D or better. However, the additions of the proposed and cumulative projects propose a significant
impact to the area. In order to address these impacts, mitigation measures would be required. For
instance, the applicant will be required, as a requirement of the proposed Mitigation Monitoring
Program Report (MMPR), to install a traffic signal at the corner of Central (SR-74) and Cambern
Avenue(s) prior to the issuance of a building permit, as well as other improvements at
predetermined milestones.
Further, the Department of Transportation (CALTRANS) has indicated that the proposed project
may elevate the need for interchange modifications to a level of regional significance. Accordingly,
CALTRANS has also indicated that they have undertaken the preparation of a Project Study Report
(PSR) which will identify viable interchange configurations suitable for mitigating the cumulative
traffic impacts expected to result from this project as well as other projects in the "study area".
Ultimately, CALTRANS has indicated that the required improvements for this center will be
formalized during the encroachment permit process.

Siting
The proposed 50.08 acre commercial shopping center site will consist of a proposed 149,705 square
foot Costco Wholesale building, a Gasoline Dispensing Facility for Costco, a 133,723 square foot
Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse, a 28,909 square foot Garden Center for Lowe's, four(4)
major tenant buildings (ranging from 20,000 square feet to 40,000 square feet),eleven (11) shops
and pads (ranging from 2,000 square feet to 11,000 square feet), associated parking and landscaping
and a Detention-Basin and channel improvements to convey the storm water flow within the Arroyo
Del Toro Creek. Each building will be located on a separate legal parcel as proposed by Tentative
Parcel Map 32369 contained herein. Reciprocal access and parking will be provided as a result of
the required CC&R(s) and recorded Reciprocal Access and Parking Agreement. A continuous
twenty-foot (20) landscape planter along Cambern, Central(Hwy 74) and Dexter Avenue(s)will
border the entire shopping center.
Generally,the entire site will be elevated above Dexter Avenue right-of-way approximately five feet
(5) and approximately twelve feet (12) (at the steepest grade) below Cambern Avenue right-of-way
and gradually elevating from Cambem Avenue to Dexter Avenue along Central Avenue (Hwy 74). *MAW
The largest buildings (Costco and Lowe's)will be located at the west end of the site along Dexter
Avenue,with the majority of the Major Pads and Shops located at the perimeter of the site along
Central and Cambern Avenue(s). Three (3) of the pads will be internalized and located towards
Central Avenue,behind the outlying shops and pads.
The main entry for the shopping center will be available by the way of two (2) driveways located off
of Cambern Avenue. An additional driveway will be located off of Central Avenue (Hwy 74) and
will be restricted to "right-in" and"right-out" only. Two (2) additional driveways are proposed off
of Dexter Avenue and are anticipated to be utilized for truck delivery. Generally,parking will be
oriented to the central areas of the shopping center and will be afforded a reciprocal access

not proposed a floor plan, staff relied on the Business Description(s) provided by the applicant for
each of the pads and shops proposing drive-through restaurants (See attached Exhibits).
Considering this, staff calculated the parking needs for drive thru restaurants on a ratio of 40% of
the total building area for "customer area" (1space/45 square feet) and 60% of the building square
footage for non-customer area (1 space/200 square feet). Conversely, for Dine-in restaurants staff
utilized a ratio of 40% of the building square footage non-customer area (1 space/200 square feet)
and 60% of the building square footage for customer serving area. Considering this,the following is

ANALYSIS
DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (EIR)
The Draft EIR identified one (1) unavoidable significant impact (Air Quality) that cannot be
reduced to less than significant levels by the adoption of feasible mitigation measures. Because this
impact is unavoidable, the City of Lake Elsinore is required by CEQA to find that specific
overriding economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits of the project outweigh the
significant impacts of the environment. Essentially, the Draft EIR determined that the direct and
indirect emissions of ROG and NOx from the proposed project would be in exceedance of the daily
emissions threshold allowed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District. The Final EIR
will include Findings of Fact and a Statement of Overriding Consideration as required by CEQA.
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 2004-01.
In reviewing the requested amendment to the Circulation Element of the General Plan, staff
identified and analyzed the potential of resulting traffic issues related to both the elimination of the
parkway element and modification to the raised median of the six (6) lane State Highway "Urban
Arterial' roadway cross-section shown for Central Avenue (Hwy 74) and the reclassification of
Dexter Avenue. In conjunction with the mandates of the General Plan, staff was concerned with
any potential impacts that would be detrimental to the health, safety, comfort or general welfare of
the persons residing or working within the neighborhood of the proposed amendment or within the
City. Based on this analysis, staff has concluded that the requested amendment to the Roadway
Classification Map (Exhibit VIII-3 of the General Plan) and the Roadway Cross Sections (Exhibit
VIII-4 of the General Plan) is consistent with GOAL 1.0 of the General Plan Circulation Element,
obligating the City to strive to maintain a minimum Level of Service "C" at all intersections during
non-peak hours and Level of Service "D" (volume/capacity ratio of 0.90 or less) at all intersections
during peak hours to ensure that traffic delays are kept to a minimum.
In deliberation staff reviewed the findings contained within the Traffic Study,prepared by Darnell&
Associates, Inc on February 16, 2004. Essentially, as confirmed by the City Traffic Engineer, the
Traffic Study confirmed that all study intersections operate at acceptable LOS D or better with the
addition of the proposed project and without mitigation. However, the addition of other projects,
within the cumulative project area results in cumulative impacts to traffic at the study intersections.
Therefore, the Traffic Study identified that upon compliance with applicable regulations (fee
program) and implementation of mitigation measures, project related and cumulative impacts to
intersections and segments would be less than significant.
In summary, the proposed General Plan Amendment will not be detrimental to health, safety and

TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 32369.
Primary concerns dealing with commercial Parcel Maps are the establishment of appropriate
mechanisms to ensure the successful and consistent aesthetic appearance of the commercial
development. Moreover, the establishment of unmistakable rules and boundaries or covenants,
conditions, and restrictions (CC&R's) for ownership, interest, and maintenance responsibilities of
common areas as well as individual areas within the units sold will be required. The establishment
of the CC&R's, corroborating each of these elements, will be recorded against the project as a
condition of approval. Additionally, a Property Owner's Association (POA) must be established
prior to the sale first building. The POA will be empowered to administer and enforce the various
elements of the CC&R's. To accomplish this, property owner's associations in most cases will
establish monthly fees that cover aspects such as landscape maintenance, parking lot maintenance
(utility infrastructure improvements). Likewise architectural design comrnittees are often established
to guarantee consistent design improvement within shopping center. The applicant has been
conditioned to submit a copy of the proposed CC&R's to the Planning Department,which is to be •.rr
reviewed by the City Attorney and ultimately reviewed and approved by the Community
Development Director. Additionally,Staff has added a condition of approval which will require that
a property owner's association be established prior to the issuance of the first building permit.

Traffic
The Traffic Study, prepared by Darnell &Associates, Inc on February 16, 2004, for all intents and
purposes confirmed that all study intersections operate at acceptable LOS D or better with the
addition of the proposed project and without mitigation. However, since the addition of other
projects, within the cumulative project area result in cumulative impacts to traffic, implementation
of mitigation measures would be necessary in order to lower the project related and cumulative
impacts to intersections and segments to less than significant.

130 S Main St
Lake Elsinore, CA 92530
SUBJECT: — Lake Elsinore Towne Center, Case C 2003-13 -Comments from RTA
Thank you for the opportunity to review the site plan for the proposed 445,000 sq ft Lake Elsinore
Towne Center retail project at the corner of Central and Dexter Aves. A copy of RTA's internal
staff report and an illustration regarding the project are attached for your information.
RTA Bus Route 22 presently operates along Central in front of the now-vacant site, near the
existing service station at the corner of Dexter. Route 8 operates '/4-mi away at the Central-
Collier intersection. These routes access a transfer point and small transit center at the Lake
Elsinore Outlet Mall. Additional routes will probably serve portions of both Central and Collier in
the future due to continued residential, industrial and commercial growth in the area. Because of
the anticipated transit ridership generated by Lake Elsinore Towne Center, RTA staff believes it _
would be appropriate to have a safer and more conveniently located bus stop and bus turnout on ..�
Central Av that would more directly serve the large project.
Riverside Transit Agency finds the project design generally acceptable; however the conceptual
plans do not indicate good internal pedestrian circulation patterns that would enhance transit
accessibility. To provide more safe and convenient access to the transit option, RTA
recommends Conditions of Approval on future more-detailed site or street improvement plans,
ensuring the following features are indicated:
• A paved, lighted and ADA-compliant bus stop turnout with space for related amenities
should be indicated along the westbound Central Av, adjacent to buildings K, L, & M and
about midway between the Central-Cambern signalized intersection and the driveway off
Central going into the project. The bus stop should incorporate a paved passenger
waiting area and adequate space for installation of passenger benches, shelters and bus
route signage by RTA, the City or their designee, at a future date.
• Future more-detailed site and landscape plans should specify a clear path for pedestrian
travel from the main entrances of Costco, Lowe's and major tenants in buildings E, F & G.
RTA suggests the plans specify ADA-compliant pathways out to the requested bus stop
that are set off by special pavement or hardscape treatment or markings.
The applicant's engineers are invited to contact RTA staff for further advisory information
regarding these requests. RTA staff is also open to Lake Elsinore staff's suggestions for
alternative means of providing transit-friendly amenities relative to this project.

PLANNING DEPARTMENT MEMO
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
To: Anne Palatino, Director of Planning
From: Michael McCoy, Senior Planner /�a
Subject: City of Lake Elsinore, Non-residential project—CRS #616, Site Plan & related
cases for 445,000 sq ft commercial center, NW of Central Av, NE of Dexter
Av the 1-15 Freeway— RTA Comments
Bus routes involved: #7 and 22, plus potential for future transit
Summary: Don Howells/Diamond Development propose a site plan for Lake Elsinore Towne
Center, a 17-bidg, 445,000 sq ft project, on 50 vacant acres featuring home improvement
stores, retail, restaurants and other businesses anchored by a Lowe's and Costco near the
1-15/Central Av interchange (State Route 74) in Lake Elsinore. The site fronts on Dexter,
Central (State Route 74) and Cambern Ave. The unincorporated "Gum Groves" neighbor-
hood is adjacent to the north. This large project includes 2300 parking spaces and is
located about'/< mi from the Lake Elsinore Outlet Center. An existing Caltra ns-operated
Park and Ride is located across Central.
RTA Route 22 currently stops along westbound Central, at a newly paved bus stop,just
prior to Dexter near the existing service station. Route 8 serves the Central-Collier Av -"go
intersection, about'/.mi to the SW, past the I-15 interchange. All local buses, including
the CommuterLink line, #206 stop at the transit hub at the Outlet Center. As the area
builds out, additional transit will likely operate along both Central and Collier Aves; this
project, for example,will generate considerable transit use. RTA will request a new bus
turnout and for some modifications be shown be on forthcoming detailed plans regarding
the issue of pedestrian access from the major buildings out to the bus stop on Central.
RTA staff believes it would be appropriate to have a dedicated bus stop and bus turnout
for Lake Elsinore Towne Center along Central Av, replacing the existing stop. To enhance
safe and convenient transit use in this area, RTA will request the street improvement,
grading or landscape plans or the map for project be revised slightly to specify installa-
tion of the following bus turnout:
• Westbound on Central,just past the Central-Cambern intersection where a new
traffic light will be installed. The turnout should be placed near buildings K,L and
M, about midway between the Cambern intersection and the driveway accessing
the project off Central;
• Information notes and rationale for this request:
o For safety purposes and due to widening of Central, and greater conges-
tion expected near the interchange, RTA recommends moving the existing
bus stop back towards Cambern as requested above.
•low

o Precise placement of the new bus turnout will depend on grading, utility,
signage and landscape plans not yet seen by RTA staff. The transit agency
requests an adequate bus stop but doesn't wish to unduly intrude on
motorists' view of the building frontages along Central.
o RTA requests the City of Lake Elsinore and the project's engineers work
with Caltrans as necessary to ensure the bus turnout is installed and meets
RTA-standards for such features.
RTA staff also notes that no clear path of pedestrian travel from the major stores out to
the street is indicated on the site plan provided, probably due to the preliminary nature of
this conceptual plan at this point. In the interests of making the transit option more
accessible to Towne Center patrons, RTA recommends that forthcoming more-detailed
plans specify a clear path of travel from Lowe's, Costco and the E,F and G majors out to
the recommended bus stop location near buildings K, L & M.
• RTA suggests the plans specify an ADA-compliant pedestrian pathway from
Costco out to the bus stop that is set off by special pavement or hardscape
treatment or markings.
A letter will be sent to the City of Lake Elsinore explaining these concerns and request-
ing they be made Conditions of Approval for forthcoming plot plan reviews and
appropriate related cases.

SUBJECT: AMENDMENTS TO THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE
CIRCULATION ELEMENT (RICK ENGINEERING JOB #J-14502)
Dear Ken:
Rick Engineering Company is currently providing engineering services for on- and off-site
improvements-for the proposed 50-acre commercial site development bounded by Cambern
Avenue, Central Avenue (State Highway 74), and Dexter Avenue, in the City of Lake Elsinore
for our client, Cambern & Central Investors, LLC. The site, also known as the "Lake Elsinore
Market Place," will feature a Costco, Lowes, and an additional 14 buildings, bringing the total
commercial building floor space to approximately 439,000 ft2.
Adjacent westerly to the proposed site, Dexter Avenue is classified as a Major (4 lanes, 100'
R/W) per the City of Lake Elsinore Circulation Element. However, the traffic study prepared by
Darnell and Associates, dated February 16, 2004, suggests that as a result of the proposed
project, Dexter Avenue will have an average daily traffic volume more suitable to a Modified
Collector (2 lanes) rather than a Major (4 lanes). [See attached Exhibit A.] Additionally,
existing Dexter Avenue does not meet current Major Street geometric standard guidelines
relating to horizontal curve radius and is prohibited by right-of-way constraints from adjacent
property uses to be upgraded to meet this standard without significant right-of-way costs.
Because the traffic volume projections and the existing horizontal alignment are more conducive
to a Modified Collector (2 lane), on behalf of our Client, we are requesting that the roadway
classification of Dexter Avenue be revised to a Modified Collector (2 lane) on the City of Lake
Elsinore Roadway Circulation Element.
Adjacent southerly to the proposed site, Central Avenue (SR-74) is classified as a 6-lane Urban
Arterial/State Highway with 12-foot travel lanes, 14-foot median, and 134-foot right of way with
12-foot parkways on each side. Because the site is classified as "C-2 General Commercial," the
subject project is proposing an average building setback of 20 feet with a minimum of at least
15 feet. Based on the project traffic study, Central Avenue between Dexter Avenue and Cambern
Avenue will ultimately need to provide 3 eastbound through lanes, 3 westbound through lanes
with a deceleration lane for project ingress, and dual left turns to Dexter Avenue and Cambern
Avenue. This results in a curb-to-curb width of 125 feet along the deceleration lane and 118 feet
for the remaining portion of Central Avenue within the described limits.

Mr. Ken Seumalo. City of Lake Elsinore
Amendments to the City Circulation Element
Page 2 of 2 April 30, 2004 %No'
Based on the right-of-way constraints due to the necessary increased roadway width to meet the
ultimate needs of Central Avenue between Dexter Avenue and Cambern Avenue, on behalf of
our Client, we are requesting that the parkway width for Central Avenue along the project
frontage be modified from the current General Plan width of 12 feet to a width that varies from
6 to 8 feet. [See attached Exhibit A.] Note that the reduction in parkway width will not affect
the continuous 6-foot sidewalk and will be less apparent due to the 15-foot landscaped setback.
In summary, two (2) General Plan Amendments are being requested affecting the current City
Circulation Element. They are as follows:
1) The roadway classification of Dexter Avenue be revised to a Modified Collector
(2 laneTon the City of Lake Elsinore Roadway Circulation Element.
2) The parkway width for Central Avenue along the project frontage be modified from
the current General Plan width of 12 feet to varying width of 6 to 8 feet.
If you have any questions regarding this letter or any of the attachments, please contact Dan Burk
or me at(714) 939-1440. We thank you for your time and await your response.

RE: CUP Application#2004-06-for Gas Station
Costco Wholesale—Lake Elsinore Marketplace
Lake Elsinore, CA
Mr. Preisendanz,
The purpose oftfiiis letter is to provide justification and a description of why Costco is submitting an
application to the City of Lake Elsinore to approve a Conditional Use Permit for the 4-island gas station_
Constructing a 4-island gas station is Costco's standard design for all of their new locations. This
design is similar to the Temecula and Rancho Cucamonga locations. Selling gas is one of Costco
standard commodities.
The gas station hours of operation are as follows:
The fueling facility hours of operation typically extend from 6:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Mondays thru Fridays from 6:00
am to 8:00 p.m.on Saturdays and 6:00 am to 6:00 pm on Sundays_
The gas station is a four-island fueling facility. Each island is designed with two double-sided gasoline dispensers,
for a total of sixteen fueling positions. The pumps are fully automated and self-serve for Costco members only by
inserting their Costco membership cards first,and then the method of payment is inserted second—debit
(bankcards)or Costco/American Express cards. To accommodate the(4)islands and the(16)gasoline
dispensers,(3)30,000-gallon underground fuel storage tanks shall be installed.There is always an attendant at the
facility offering any member assistance with operating the pumps. When not assisting members,they are cleaning
the area. The total number of employees specifically at the gas station is maximum(4)employees per day,(1)
employee per shift.
Fuel truck deliveries are anticipated to occur daily during the hours of operation, usually between 6:00 a.m. and
10.00 p.m, 1-2 trucks per day are expected. The fuel trucks will enter the site from either the drive located at
Dexter Avenue or from the drive located on Cambem,traverse the common drive to the fueling facility. The largest
fuel trucks are approximately 70 feet long and carry 9,500 gallons. While delivering the fuel, the truck VAN be
parked over the underground tanks located on the east side of the fueling facility. The trek will not block access to
any of the sixteen fueling positions. The fuel trucks exit the site in the same manner as they enter the site.
In order to open and operate the fueling facility, Costco will have to meet requirements of local,state and federal
regulators and agencies,including the City of Lake Elsinore Fire Department,the Riverside County Environmental
Health—Hazardous Materials Division (hazardous Materials/Underground Tank Permit), the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the California Accidental Release Prevention Program (Risk Management
Plan), the State Water Resources Control Board,the California Environmental Protection Agency, and the United
States Environmental Protection Agency. One of.these.requirements, for example, may be a Spill Prevention
Countermeasure and Control Plan to prevent runoff of petroleum product spills.

RE: CUP Application#2004-05 -for Outside Food Service
Costco Wholesale— Lake Elsinore Town Square
Lake Elsinore, CA
Mr. Preisendanz,
The purpose of this letter is to provide justification and a description of why Costco is submitting an
application to the City of Lake Elsinore to approve a Conditional Use Permit for the outside food service.
Constructing an outside food service, that includes outside seating for approximately 144 persons, is
Costco's standard design for their Southern California locations. This design is typical at the Temecula
and Rancho Cucamonga locations. Because of the year round moderate climate Southern California
offers, patrons may enjoy a family outing by having a fresh cooked pizza or hotdog and be outside in the
wonderful weather. Another key reason Costco installs the food service at the main canopy outside, is that
precious interior sales floor area is available for more products.
The outside food service hours of operation match the hours of operation for the main warehouse. The
warehouse operations are as follows:
The Costco facility in Lake Elsinore is expected to employ approximately 200—250 full and part time employees,
totaling between 75 and 125 employees per shift. The Costco warehouse will be open Monday through Friday from
10:00 a.m_to 8:30 p.m.,Saturday 9:30 a.m.to 6:00 p-m.and Sunday 10:00 a.m.to 6:00 p.m.
An enlarged layout of the food service and outside seating area is part of this submittal to the city. See attached plan
for further information.
Please call me at(949)417-9714 if you have further questions. Also,since Todd Bartok is no longer with Costco,

with thin the Costco building. They are as follow: Pharmacy, Optical Exam and sales, Photo processing,
Tire sales and installation, and an Outside food service with limited menu and outdoor seating for
approximately 144 persons.
The shipping/receiving area is located on the east side of the building. This area is designed to
accommodate four trucks at a time. The machinery for compacting refuse is located towards the northeast
corner of the building, behind the shipping/receiving area and will not be visible from any adjacent streets_
The pr4*ct additionally shall include a four-island fueling facility located at the west end of the site nearest
the intersection of Red Gum Road and Cambern Avenue. Each island is designed with two double-sided
gasoline dispensers, for a total of sixteen fueling positions. The pumps are fully automated and self-serve
for Costco members only by inserting their Costco membership cards first,and then the method of payment
is inserted second — debit (bankcards) or Costco/American Express cards. To accommodate the (4)
islands and the (16) gasoline dispensers, (3) 30,000-gallon underground fuel storage tanks shall be
installed.
Parking is provided primarily on the south and north side of the building, closest to the main entrance and
includes approximately 750 stalls,for a ratio of 5.0 stalls per 1,000 square feet of building area.
Operations Description
The Costco facility in Lake Elsinore is expected to employ approximately 200 — 250 full and part time
persons, totaling between 75 and 125 employees per shift. The Costco warehouse will be open Monday
through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., Saturday 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Sunday 10:00 a.m. to
6:00 p.m. The fueling facility hours of operation typically extend from 6:00 a.m.to 9:30 p.m. Mondays thru
Fridays from 6:00 am to 8:00 p.m. on Saturdays and 6:00 am to 6:00 pm on Sundays.
Costco anticipates an average of about 24 trucks delivering goods on a typical weekday, of these 10-12
semi-trucks. The trucks are 54 feet long with double axle trailers; the remaining 10-12 trucks are small
delivery trucks 26 feet long or less. The peak receiving time is from 4:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. but may occur
24 hours a day; averaging 1 to 2 trucks per hour at the peak period and most of the deliveries will be
completed before the 10:00 a.m. opening time. Deliveries to the warehouse are made primarily in Costco
trucks from its freight consolidation facility in Mira Loma,California. Trucks will be routed from interstate 15
south to the site,exiting at Central Avenue. They will enter the site via Dexter Avenue.They will depart the
site via the western drive way on Cambern Ave.to access Central Avenue and the 15 Freeway.
Fuel truck deliveries are anticipated to occur daily during the hours of operation, usually between 6:00 a.m.
and 10:00 p.m, 1-2 trucks per day are expected. The fuel trucks will traverse the same route as the
warehouse delivery trucks to the project site and then pull into the fueling facility. The largest fuel trucks
are approximately 70 feet long and carry 9,500 gallons. While delivering the fuel, the truck will be parked
over the underground tanks located on the east side of the fueling facility. The truck will not block access to
any of the sixteen fueling positions. The fuel truck access and exit the site in the same manner as devlivery
trucks to the warehouse.
The tire sales/install (only) center,typically will receive shipments of tires two times per week in single- or
double-trailer trucks of up to 664e,A in length, and pick up of old tires usually will occur once per week in 28
foot long trucks. The typical routing for tire sales/install (only) center trucks will be the same as the
warehouse delivery trucks,only straight to the tire sales/install(only)center. Deliveries to and pickups from
the tire sales/install(only)center will be scheduled for pre-opening hours,typically about 6:00 a.m.
