Section 3: That in accordance with Chapter 17.415.050 of the LEMC, the Council makes
the following findings regarding Industrial Design Review No. 2021-05:
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 is a continuation
of a continuation of a previously approved industrial park. 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 Chapter 17.82.070 of the Zoning Code, 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 Chapter 17.82.
Pursuant to Section 17.184.050 of the LEMC, the Project was considered by the City Council
at a duly noticed Public Hearing held on January 11, 2022. The Project, as reviewed and
conditioned by all applicable City divisions, departments and agencies, will not have a
significant effect on the environment. Approval of the Project will not result in a substantial
change to the previously adopted Supplemental Environmental Impact Report. Therefore,
no additional environmental review is necessary.
Section 4: Based upon all of the evidence presented, the above findings, and the
conditions of approval imposed upon the Project, the Council approves Industrial Design Review
No. 2021-05.
Section 5: This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
Passed and Adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Lake Elsinore,
California, this 11th day of January 2022.
