Section 1: The Commission has reviewed and analyzed the proposed Project pursuant
to the California Planning and Zoning Laws (Cal. Gov. Code §§ 59000 et seq.), the Lake Elsinore
General Plan (GP), and the LEMC and finds and determines that the proposed Project is
consistent with the requirements of California Planning and Zoning Law and with the goals and
policies of the GP, and the LEMC.
Section 2: On May 3, 2022, after consideration and evaluation of all written reports and
comments and oral testimony presented by the Community Development Department and other

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 May 3, 2022. 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 Commission hereby recommends that the
Council approve Industrial Design Review No. 2021-01.
Section 5: This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
Passed and Adopted on this 3rd day of May, 2022.
