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

Section 3: That in accordance with Section 17.415.050.G of the LEMC, the Commission
makes the following findings regarding Planning Application No. 2021-28 (Industrial Design
Review No. 2021-04):
1. The Project, as approved, will comply with the goals and objectives of the General Plan
and the zoning district in which the project is located.
The Project is located within Planning Area 3 of the ELSP#11 and has an Action Sports,
Tourism, Commercial and Recreation Land Use designation. This designation provides
for a wide range of extreme action sports and accessory manufacturing, service and retail
uses. The proposed Project is an infill development project that is proposing to expand an
existing construction facility, which is supportive and compatible with other intended uses
in this designation. The original ELSP and the subsequent amendments were subject to
a consistency finding with the General Plan prior to adoption. Therefore, the Project is
consistent with the General Plan. Further, the proposed commercial Project will assist in
achieving the development of a well-balanced and functional mix of residential,
commercial, industrial, open space, recreational and institutional land uses.
2. The Project complies with the design directives contained in the LEMC and all applicable
provisions of the LEMC.
The Project is appropriate to the site and surrounding developments. The architectural
design of the proposed building complies with the Architectural Guidelines & Development
Standards of the ELSP#11 and the Nonresidential Development Standards (Chapter
17.112) of the LEMC. The architecture has been designed to achieve harmony and
compatibility with the surrounding area. The colors and materials proposed will assist in
blending the architecture into the existing landscape and are compatible with other colors
and materials used on other properties near the Project site. In addition, the site design
provides safe and efficient onsite circulation.
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 the evidence presented, the above findings, and the conditions of
approval imposed upon the Project, the Commission hereby approves Planning Application No.
2021-28 (Industrial Design Review No. 2021-04).
Section 5: This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
