A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LAKE
ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF DEVELOPMENT
AGREEMENT NO. 2022-01 FOR APPROXIMATELY 81.32-ACRE PORTION OF THE

approved for the subdivision of 246.41 acres into 302 single family residential lots, 12 open

the approximately 81.32-acre portion of the larger approximately 246 acre property previously
entitled for development. The site is located within the Canyon Hills Estates Specific Plan, south
of Canyon Hills Road, east and west of Cottonwood Canyon Road (APNs: 365-230-005, 006,
009, 011, and 012; and,
Whereas, pursuant to LEMC Chapter 19.12 (Development Agreements) the Planning
Commission of the City of Lake Elsinore has been delegated with the responsibility of reviewing
and making a recommendation to the City Council whether the development agreement is
consistent with the City’s General Plan and whether to approve the development agreement;
and
Whereas, on May 3, 2022, at a duly noticed public hearing, the Planning Commission
has considered evidence presented by the Community Development Department and other
interested parties with respect to this item.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LAKE
ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, the Planning Commission has
determined that the Development Agreement would not have a significant effect on the
environment and no new environmental documentation is necessary because all potentially
significant effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier environmental impact report. FEIR
No. 2006-04 (SCH # 2006051073) was adopted by the City Council on January 23, 2007. This
Development Agreement will not have any significant direct, indirect, or cumulative environmental
impacts apart from or beyond those already analyzed, addressed, and mitigated as stated in the
environmental documentation prepared and adopted/approved for TTM No. 34249. All potentially
significant impacts have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to the earlier environmental impact
report and none of the conditions in Public Resources Code Section 21166 or CEQA Guidelines
Sections 15162, 15163 and 15164 calling for preparation of a subsequent or supplemental
environmental impact report have occurred because of the following: (i) the Project does not
propose substantial changes that would require major revisions to the previously certified EIR due
to new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified significant environmental effects; (ii) no substantial changes in circumstances have
occurred that require major revisions to the previously certified EIR due to new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant
effects; and (iii) no new information of substantial importance as described in Section 15162 (a)(3)
has been identified that shows any of the following: (a) one or more significant effects not
discussed in the EIR, (b) significant effects previously examined that are substantially more

severe than shown in the EIR, (c) mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be
feasible are in fact be feasible and substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the
project, but the Project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative, or (d)
mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the
EIR substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the Project
proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. Therefore, no further
environmental documentation is necessary.

Elsinore Municipal Code Section 19.12.070 (Planning Commission report), the Planning
Commission makes the following findings regarding Development Agreement No. 2022-01:

welfare.
