CDR 2019-10 (Vantage Auctions)
June 14, 2022
The project proposes to construct an additional 35-foot driveway located west of Silver Street
which would lead directly into the parking lot at the southwest corner of the site. Flint Street, which
runs along the southern perimeter of the site, would be paved to a width of 40 feet long 330 feet
of the project site frontage. The proposed project also includes the addition of new 8-inch water
and sewer lines in the Silver Street right-of-way.
The project would add one additional office trailer to the project site and repair the two existing
infiltration basins located at the site. Additionally, the accessible parking spaces near the office
trailers would be paved and a ramp would be added leading from the viewing tent up to the offices.
The proposed landscaping for this project consists of installing a screening landscape along Flint
Street, landscaping around the offices, restoring native vegetation on the southern slopes by
removing non-native species, maintaining and enhancing the existing pine tree landscaping along
the northwestern border, and installing screening landscape along the northern boundary.
The approximately 25.84-acre site is located northerly of Flint Street, southerly of Minthorn Street,
easterly of Chaney Street, and westerly of Poe Street and more specifically referred to as 521
Silver Street. (APNs: 377-160-018, 023, 026, 377-180-030, 054, 057, 374-033-029, and 031).

Project Description
The project site currently functions as a heavy construction equipment auction facility that
conducts up to six (6) auctions per year and contains two (2) office trailers and five (5) containers
functioning as a shop and storage area. The auction yard area also includes parking areas and
an auction tent. The project site is vacant and undeveloped along the eastern and southern
boundary slopes. The proposed project would include modifications to the 17-acre portion of the
existing site by adding additional office space, infrastructure and street improvements, paving,
and landscaping as described in detail below.
Building Summary
The project would add one additional office trailer to the project site as well as street
improvements, utilities, and landscaping. The project would also repair the two existing infiltration
basins and create a new 35 foot driveway leading into the parking lot. Additionally, the
handicapped parking spaces near the office trailers would be paved and a ramp would be added
leading from the viewing tent up to the offices. The project would continue to operate the auction
yard in an open layout with storage areas in the northern portion of the site, auction areas located
in the central and western portions of the site, and parking located at the southwest corner of the
site. The main viewing tent measuring 40’X60’ would remain in the southernmost portion of the
main auction yard.
Parking
The proposed project includes an existing parking area at the southwest corner of the site which
parks 121 vehicles. Additionally, the 15 employee parking spaces near the office trailers would
remain. The project would pave a total of 5 handicapped parking spaces, 2 of which would be
located near the office trailers and 3 of which would be located by the auction viewing tent.
Stormwater Drainage
The project would include maintenance repairs to the two existing infiltration basins. One is
located on the western side of the project site, west of Silver Street and just above the parking
area. The second infiltration basin is located on the eastern side of the project site, just past the
auction yard and at the bottom of the western facing slope.
Access and Circulation
Access to the project site is currently available via Silver Street and a driveway which runs
perpendicular to Flint Street. The project proposes constructing an additional 35-foot driveway
located west of Silver Street which would lead directly into the parking lot at the southwest corner
of the site.

Infrastructure Improvements
Flint Street, which runs along the southern perimeter of the site, would be paved to a width of 40
feet along 330 feet of the project site frontage.
Water & Sewer Improvements
The proposed Project would include the addition of new 8-inch water and sewer lines in the Silver
Street right-of-way.
Landscaping
The proposed landscaping for this project consists of installing screening landscape along Flint
Street, installing traditional irrigated landscaping around the offices, restoring native vegetation
on the southern slopes by removing non-native species, maintaining and enhancing the existing
pine tree landscaping along the northwestern border, and installing a colorful screening landscape
with temporary irrigation along the northern boundary with the drainage channel.
Operational Characteristics
The project site would continue to operate as a heavy construction equipment auction facility
which holds six auctions per year. Leading up to each auction would be a ramp up phase where
the equipment is delivered to the site and prepared for the sale day. The hours of operation during
the ramp up phase would typically be 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and the number of employees would
range from 10 to 18. The next phase, the auction day, would start at approximately 7:00 a.m. with
the sale lasting from roughly 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Prior to Covid-19, the sale would typically
draw about 250 bidders per sale. This number would be slightly less now since the applicant has
put effort into developing a more robust online platform for clients. During this phase, the number
of employees would peak at 25. The final phase would consist of collecting payment for the sold
items and assisting buyers with the load out and removal of the items. This phase would operate
typically operate from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. with 10 to 18 employees.
Analysis
General Plan Consistency
The Project has a General Plan Land Use Designation of Limited Industrial (LI) and is located in
the Business District. The LI Land Use Designation provides for industrial parks, warehouses,
manufacturing, research and development, public and quasi-public uses, and similar and
compatible uses. The proposed facility is a heavy construction equipment auction facility, which
is similar and compatible with warehousing and manufacturing uses.
Municipal Code Consistency
The current zoning designation for the Project site is Limited Manufacturing (M-1). Per Section
17.136.030.C. of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC), heavy equipment sales and rental is
a permitted use in the M-1 zone subject to an approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Staff has
reviewed the proposed Project with respect to the relevant development standards as identified
in the M-1 and has found it to be consistent.
The Project was also reviewed by Building and Safety, Fire, and Engineering Divisions and
support the Project. Appropriate Conditions of Approval have been included that would mitigate
any potential issues associated with the future development and establishment of the use.

Environmental Determination
The proposed project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res.
Code §§21000 et seq.: “CEQA”) and the CEQA Guidelines (14 C.C.R. §§ 15000 et seq.) pursuant
to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 Existing Facilities. As described in the attached Class 1
Categorical Exemption Checklist (Exhibit D), the project consists of minor alteration to an existing
facility and does not constitute an expansion of use. The project site is partially graded with
temporary trailers, serving as office space, and a parking area serving the auction site. The
existing office trailers are currently served by all needed public service. The project proposes the
addition of an office trailer and various onsite and offsite infrastructure improvements to improve
the functionality of the existing site. These additions to the site would not increase traffic, air quality
emissions, or greenhouse gas emissions over existing conditions. Although the addition of an
office trailer increases the building square footage, the modifications wou ld be considered
negligible and not an expansion of existing uses because the proposed Project results in the same
overall impacts compared to the existing use.

RESOLUTION NO. 2022-___
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LAKE
ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, FINDING THAT PLANNING APPLICATION NO. 2016-46
(COMMERCIAL DESIGN REVIEW NO. 2019-10) IS CONSISTENT WITH THE
WESTERN RIVERSIDE COUNTY MULTIPLE SPECIES HABITAT
CONSERVATION PLAN (MSHCP)
Whereas, Brian Moening, Vantage Auctions, Inc. has filed an application with the City of
Lake Elsinore (City) requesting approval of Planning Application No. 2016-46 (Commercial
Design Review No. 2019-10) to add one additional office trailer to the project site as well as street
improvements, utilities, and landscaping to the previously approved heavy-construction
equipment yard. The project would also repair the two existing infiltration basins and create a new
35-foot driveway leading into the parking lot. The approximately 25-acre property is located
northerly of Flint Street, southerly of Minthorn Street, easterly of Chaney Street, and westerly of
Poe Street and more specifically referred to as 521 Silver Street (APNs: 377-160-018, -023, -026,
377-180-030, -054, -057, and 374-033-029, -031); and,
Whereas, Section 6.0 of the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat
Conservation Plan (MSHCP) requires that all discretionary projects within a MSHCP Criteria Cell
undergo the Lake Elsinore Acquisition Process (LEAP) and Joint Project Review (JPR) process
to analyze the scope of the proposed development and establish a building envelope that is
consistent with the MSHCP criteria; and,
Whereas, Section 6.0 of the MSHCP further requires that the City adopt consistency
findings demonstrating that the proposed discretionary entitlement complies with the MSHCP cell
criteria, and the MSHCP goals and objectives; and,
Whereas, pursuant to Section 17.415.050 (Major Design Review) of the Lake Elsinore
Municipal Code (LEMC), the Planning Commission (Commission) has the responsibility of
reviewing and approving, conditionally approving, or denying design review applications; and,
Whereas, on May 17, 2022, at a duly noticed Public Hearing, the 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 DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: The Commission has considered the Project and its consistency with the
MSHCP prior adopting Findings of Consistency with the MSHCP.
Section 2: That in accordance with the MSHCP, the Commission makes the following
findings for MSHCP consistency:
1. The Project is a project under the City’s MSHCP Resolution, and the City must make a
MSHCP Consistency finding before approval.
Pursuant to the City’s MSHCP Resolution, the Project is required to be reviewed for
MSHCP consistency, including consistency with other “Plan Wide Requirements.” The
Project site is not located within a MSHCP Criteria Cell. Based upon the site
PC Reso. No. 2022-____
Page 2 of 4
reconnaissance survey there are no issues regarding consistency with the MSHCP’s other
“Plan Wide Requirements.” The only requirements potentially applicable to the Project
were the Protection of Species Associated with Riparian/Riverine Areas and Vernal Pool
Guidelines (Section 6.1.2 of the MSHCP) and payment of the MSHCP Local Development
Mitigation Fee (Section 4 of the MSHCP Ordinance). The Project site is located in a
previously disturbed site, and has no habitat, including riparian/riverine areas or vernal
pools, present on site.
2. The Project is not subject to the City’s LEAP and the Western Riverside County Regional
Conservation Authority’s (RCA) JPR processes.
As stated above, the Project is not located within a Criteria Cell and therefore was not
required to go through the LEAP and JPR processes.
3. The Project is consistent with the Riparian/Riverine Areas and Vernal Pools Guidelines.
The proposed project would consist of the addition of a third office trailer, the relocation of
overhead power lines, the creation of a parking lot, street improvements, and the
maintenance of two existing infiltration basins. The disturbed developed areas on site
would continue to be used as an auction area and storage areas would continue to be
disturbed by heavy construction machinery. All proposed Project impacts would remain
on the presently disturbed and developed land. As such, the Riparian/Riverine Areas and
Vernal Pool Guidelines as set forth in Section 6.1.2 of the MSHCP are not applicable.
4. The Project is consistent with the Protection of Narrow Endemic Plant Species Guidelines.
The site does not fall within any Narrow Endemic Plant Species Survey Areas. Neither a
habitat assessment nor further focused surveys were required for the Project. Therefore,
Protection of Narrow Endemic Plant Species Guidelines as set forth in Section 6.1.3 of the
MSHCP are not applicable to the Project.
5. The Project is consistent with the Additional Survey Needs and Procedures.
The MSHCP only requires additional surveys for certain species if the Project is located
in Criteria Area Species Survey Areas, Amphibian Species Survey Areas, Burrowing Owl
Survey Areas, and Mammal Species Survey Areas of the MSHCP. The site is located
within the Western Riverside County MSHCP burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia) survey
area. As such, a burrowing owl habitat assessment was conducted onsite in August 2021
and determined that no burrowing owl signs were found on the site and that the area was
not in use by the species. Prior to any construction activity, a preconstruction survey would
be required based on standard MSHCP requirements to ensure that no burrowing owls
have colonized the site prior to Project activities. Therefore, the project is consistent with
MSHCP Section 6.3.2.
6. The Project is consistent with the Urban/Wildlands Interface Guidelines.
The project site is not within or adjacent to any MSHCP Criteria Cell or conservation areas.
Therefore, the Urban/Wildlands Interface Guidelines of MSHCP Section 6.1.4 are not
applicable.
7. The Project is consistent with the Vegetation Mapping requirements.
PC Reso. No. 2022-____
Page 3 of 4
The proposed project would consist of the addition of a third office trailer, the relocation of
overhead power lines, the creation of a parking lot, street improvements, and the
maintenance of two existing infiltration basins. The disturbed developed areas on site
would continue to be used as an auction area and storage areas would continue to be
disturbed by heavy construction machinery. All proposed Project impacts would remain
on the presently disturbed and developed land. There are no resources located on the
Project site requiring mapping as set forth in MSCHP Section 6.3.1.
8. The Project is consistent with the Fuels Management Guidelines.
The Project site is not within or adjacent to any MSHCP Criteria Cell or conservation areas.
Therefore, the Fuels Management Guidelines of MSHCP Section 6.4 are not applicable.
9. The Project will be conditioned to pay the City’s MSHCP Local Development Mitigation
Fee.
As a condition of approval, the Project will be required to pay the City’s MSHCP Local
Development Mitigation Fee at the time of issuance of building permits.
10. The Project is consistent with the MSHCP.
The Project site is not within or adjacent to any MSHCP Criteria Cell or conservation areas.
As described above, the Project complies with all application MSHCP requirements.
Section 3: Based upon all of the evidence presented and the above findings, the
Commission hereby finds that the Project is consistent with the MSHCP.
Section 4: This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
Passed and Adopted on this 17th day of May, 2022.

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 DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
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: The Commission finds that the proposed project is exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res. Code §§21000 et seq.: “CEQA”) and the CEQA
Guidelines (14 C.C.R. §§ 15000 et seq.) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 Existing
Facilities. The project consists of minor alteration to an existing facility and does not constitute an
expansion of use. The project site is partially graded with temporary trailers, serving as office
space, and a parking area serving the auction site. The existing office trailers are currently served
by all needed public service. The project proposes the addition of an office trailer and various
onsite and offsite infrastructure improvements to improve the functionality of the existing site.
These additions to the site would not increase traffic, air quality emissions, or greenhouse gas
emissions over existing conditions. Although the addition of an office trailer increases the building
PC Reso. No. 2022-____
Page 2 of 3
square footage, the modifications would be considered negligible and not an expansion of existing
uses because the proposed Project results in the same overall impacts compared to the existing
use.
Section 3: That in accordance with Section 17.415.050.G of the LEMC, the Commission
makes the following findings regarding Commercial Design Review No. 2019-10:
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 has a General Plan Land Use Designation of Limited Industrial (LI) and is
located in the Business District. The LI Land Use Designation provides for industrial parks,
warehouses, manufacturing, research and development, public and quasi-public uses,
and similar and compatible uses. The proposed facility is a heavy construction equipment
auction facility, which is similar and compatible with warehousing and manufacturing uses.
Therefore, the project is consistent with the General Plan. The current zoning designation
for the Project site is Limited Manufacturing (M-1). Per Section 17.136.030.C. of the Lake
Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC), heavy equipment sales and rental is a permitted use in
the M-1 zone subject to an approval of a Conditional Use Permit. 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 Nonresidential Development Standards
(Chapter 17.112) of the LEMC. The proposed project currently operates as a heavy-
construction equipment yard. The project is proposing to provide additional landscaping
to provide additional screening for the project site. 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 17, 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 Commercial Design
Review No. 2019-10.
Section 5: This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.

1 INTRODUCTION
Vantage Auctions, Inc. (Applicant) is seeking approval from the City of Lake Elsinore to continue operation
of the existing heavy equipment auction facility located at 521 Silver Street, Lake Elsinore, CA 92530. The
Project proposes to add additional office space, infrastructure and street improvements, paving, and
landscaping to the existing facility. The City of Lake Elsinore is the Lead Agency for the proposed Project.
The Lead Agency will utilize this document as evidence that the proposed Project qualifies for two Exemptions
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Class 1 Existing Facility Exemption (CEQA
Guidelines Sections 15301 and 15300.2) and Common Sense Exemption (CEQA Guidelines Section
15061(b)(3)), which is further described below.
1.1 PURPOSE
Article 19 of the CEQA Guidelines includes, as required by Public Resources Code Section 21084, a list of
classes of projects which have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment. This
document demonstrates that the proposed Project qualifies for a CEQA Exemption as an Existing Facility
(Class 1 Exemption), consistent with the provisions of CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 and 15300.2 and
provides information for City decisionmakers to find that the proposed Project is exempt under CEQA.
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, a Class 1 Existing Facilities Exemption consists of the operation,
repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures,
facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing
or former use. The types of "existing facilities" itemized in the CEQA Guidelines are not intended to be all-
inclusive of the types of projects which might fall within Class 1. The key consideration is whether the project
involves negligible or no expansion of use.
Furthermore, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity
is covered by the Common Sense Exemption where there is no possibility that the project “may have a
significant effect on the environment”.
1.2 CEQA FINDINGS RELATED TO CLASS 1 EXEMPTION
The City of Lake Elsinore determined, following a preliminary evaluation of the proposed Project, that the
proposed Project would not result in any significant effects on the environment. This finding is supported by
the analysis provided in the remainder of this document and in the appendices. The City of Lake Elsinore
makes the following findings in support of the Existing Facilities Exemption (refer to CEQA Guidelines
§15301):
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, the Project qualifies for a Class 1 Exemption as it consists of
minor alteration to an existing facility and does not constitute an expansion of use. The Project site is partially
graded with temporary trailers, serving as office space, and a parking area serving the auction site. The
existing office trailers are currently served by all needed public services.
The Project proposes the addition of an office trailer and various onsite and offsite infrastructure
improvements to improve the functionality of the existing site. The Project would continue the existing use of
the site which is utilized for heavy construction equipment auctions held six times per year. Modifications to
the site would include street improvements, landscaping, the addition of water and sewer lines, and the
repair of existing infiltration basins.
The sale of heavy equipment is a conditionally allowed use within the existing Limited Manufacturing (M1)
zoning classification for the site.
Vantage Auctions Project
City of Lake Elsinore Categorical Exemption

The Project proposes the addition of one office trailer, which would be used by existing auction staff. As
demonstrated by this document, the addition of one trailer and other improvements to the site would not
increase traffic, air quality emissions, or greenhouse gas emissions over existing conditions, as discussed in
Section 4.1. As such, although the addition of an office trailer increases the building square footage, the
modifications would be considered negligible and not an expansion of existing uses because the proposed
Project results in the same overall impacts compared to the existing use.
Based on the information above and analysis that follows, the Project qualifies for the Class 1 Exemption.
1.3 CEQA FINDINGS RELATED TO COMMON SENSE EXEMPTION
Based on the analysis that follows within this document, it is evident that the Project does not result in any
significant environmental impacts. The proposed Project would not result in an expansion of uses onsite and
would continue to operate auctions six times per year, in line with current site conditions and uses, thereby,
not contributing to significant construction impacts and resulting in negligible environmental effects from
operation of the proposed Project. Based on the information presented in this document, the Project qualifies
for the Common Sense Exemption.

2.2 EXISTING PROJECT SITE
The Project site consists of eight parcels encompassing approximately 25.84 acres. Three parcels are situated
west of Silver Street and five parcels are situated to the east. The site is partially graded and has upward
sloping on the east and south sides of the site. While the majority of the site is disturbed and developed with
no natural vegetation, other portions of the site that are not used for auctions contain coastal sage scrub
habitat and ornamental trees.
The Project site is currently used for a heavy construction equipment auction six times each year.
Approximately 17 acres of the Project site is developed and utilized for heavy construction equipment
auctioning and includes a parking area, auction area, auction tent, two trailers serving as offices, five
shipping containers serving as storage areas, fencing, two infiltration basins, and other related onsite
improvements. There are no permanent structures located on the site. The Project site’s existing conditions are
shown in Figure 2-3, Aerial, and Figure 2-4, Site Photos.
2.3 EXISTING LAND USES AND ZONING DESIGNATION OF THE PROJECT SITE
The Project site has a Lake Elsinore General Plan land use designation of Limited Industrial, as shown on
Figure 2-5, General Plan Designation, and a zoning designation of Limited Manufacturing (M1), as shown on
Figure 2-6, Existing Zoning. The zoning designation allows for the development of light industrial uses that
are relatively free of nuisance or hazardous characteristics and is intended to play a major role in
establishing the perceived identity of the City’s industrial districts. The sale of heavy equipment is a
conditionally permitted use in the M1 zone.

3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
3.1 PROJECT SITE PLANNING BACKGROUND
As described in Section 2, approximately 17 acres of the Project site functions as the auction yard and
contains two office trailers and five shipping containers functioning as a shop and storage area. The auction
yard area also includes parking areas and an auction tent. The Project site is vacant and undeveloped along
the eastern and southern boundary slopes. The Project site encompasses approximately 25.84 acres and
functions as a space for heavy machine equipment auctions six times per year.
3.2 PROPOSED PROJECT
Development Summary
The proposed Project would include modifications to the 17-acre portion of the existing site that functions as
the auction yard such as the addition of an office trailer, the repair of the two infiltration basins, and other
onsite and infrastructure improvements.
Building Summary
The Project would add one additional office trailer to the Project site as well as street improvements, utilities,
and landscaping. The Project would also repair the two existing infiltration basins and create a new 35-foot
driveway leading into the parking lot. Additionally, the handicapped parking spaces near the office trailers
would be paved and a ramp would be added leading from the viewing tent up to the offices. The Project
would continue to operate the auction yard in an open layout with storage areas in the northern portion of
the site, auction areas located in the central and western portions of the site, and parking located at the
southwest corner of the site. The main viewing tent measuring 40’X60’ would remain in the southernmost
portion of the main auction yard.
Trailers
Rather than constructing permanent structures, the proposed Project would keep the existing trailers and add
an additional Executive office trailer to the site. The new trailer would be placed near the existing trailers,
just northeast of the entrance to the site. Three types of trailers would be present on the site and are as
follows:
Executive Trailer
The Executive Trailer measures 12’X40’ and contain three offices each. The offices on the end measure
12’X12’ and the office in the center measures 12’X16’. The Executive Trailer includes a conference room.
The Project would include the addition of one executive trailer.
Sales Trailer
The Sales Trailer measures 12’X48’ and contains two 12’X12’ sales offices as well as an office and
breakroom in the center of the trailer. The Project would include the continued use of one Sales Trailer.
Operations Trailer
The Operations Trailer measures 12’X60’ and contains two offices and a lobby. The manager’s office
measures 12’X12’, the management office measures 12’X14’, and the lobby, which includes three
workstations, measures 12’X24’. The Project would include the continued use of one Operations Trailers.
Parking and Loading Summary
The proposed Project includes an existing parking area at the southwest corner of the site which parks 121
vehicles. Additionally, the 15 employee parking spaces near the office trailers would remain. The Project
would pave a total of 5 handicapped parking spaces, 2 of which would be located near the office trailers
and 3 of which would be located by the auction viewing tent.
Vantage Auctions Project
City of Lake Elsinore Categorical Exemption
20
Fencing
The proposed Project would leave the existing chain link fence that surrounds the Project site. The fence
crosses through the entrance of the site as well as across Flint Street. There are existing gates at these points
along Flint Street which allow for access.
Stormwater Drainage
The Project would include maintenance repairs to the two existing infiltration basins. One is located on the
western side of the Project site, west of Silver Street and just above the parking area. The second infiltration
basin is located on the eastern side of the Project site, just past the auction yard and at the bottom of the
western facing slope. The Project would continue to maintain the drainage outlets on the north side of the
Project site that drain into the existing Temescal Water Company channel to the north of the site.
Access and Circulation
As shown in Figure 3-1, Conceptual Site Plan, access to the Project site is currently available via Silver Street
and a driveway which runs perpendicular to Flint Street. The Project proposes constructing an additional 35-
foot driveway located west of Silver Street which would lead directly into the parking lot at the southwest
corner of the site.
Infrastructure Improvements
Street Improvements
Flint Street, which runs along the southern perimeter of the site, would be paved to a width of 40 feet along
330 feet of the Project site frontage.
Water & Sewer Improvements
The proposed Project would include the addition of new 8-inch water and sewer lines in the Silver Street
right-of-way.
General Plan and Zoning
The City of Lake Elsinore General Plan land use designation for the Project site is Limited Industrial and the
zoning designation for the site is Limited Manufacturing (M1). According to the Lake Elsinore General Plan,
the Limited Industrial land use designation is intended for industrial parks, warehouses, manufacturing,
research and development, public and quasi-public uses, and similar compatible uses. Heavy equipment
sales is conditionally allowed in the M1 zone.
Construction and Phasing
Construction activities for the Project would occur over one phase and would occur within the hours allowable
by the City of Lake Elsinore Municipal Code Section 17.176.080, which prohibits construction activities
between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. or at any time on weekends or on holidays.
Operational Characteristics
The Project site would continue to operate as a heavy construction equipment auction facility which holds six
auctions per year. Leading up to each auction would be a ramp up phase where the equipment is delivered
to the site and prepared for the sale day. The hours of operation during the ramp up phase would typically
be 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and the number of employees would range from 10 to 18. The next phase, the
auction day, would start at approximately 7:00 a.m. with the sale lasting from roughly 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Prior to Covid-19, the sale would typically draw about 250 bidders per sale. This number would be slightly
less now since the applicant has put effort into developing a more robust online platform for clients. During
this phase, the number of employees would peak at 25. The final phase would consist of collecting payment

4.1 ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED
AESTHETICS
The Project site is currently developed and operates as a heavy construction equipment auctioning site. The
proposed Project would continue the existing operations and uses of the site and would add to the character
of the site with additional landscaping and street improvements. As such, it would not result in extensive
changes that could result in the degradation of the character of the site, or impacts related to light and
glare. Therefore, impacts related to aesthetics would be less than significant.
AGRICULTURE
The proposed Project would continue the existing operations and uses of the Project site which has already
been graded. All improvements associated with the Project will take place on previously developed and
disturbed areas of the site. According to the California Department of Conservation’s California Important
Farmland Finder map, the Project site is not designated as Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland
of Statewide Importance (CDC, 2021). However, a small northwest portion of the site is classified as
Farmland of Local Importance. This area of the Project site is already graded and disturbed, has not been
used recently for agricultural uses, and the Project will not further disrupt or degrade the soil in this area.
Therefore, there will not be any agricultural impacts.
AIR QUALITY
Air Quality Management Plan. The Project site is located in the South Coast Air Basin, which is under the
jurisdictional boundaries of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) in Source Receptor
Area (SRA) Zone 25. The SCAQMD and Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) are
responsible for preparing the Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP), which addresses federal and state
Clean Air Act (CAA) requirements. The AQMP details goals, policies, and programs for improving air quality
in the Basin. In preparation of the AQMP, SCAQMD and SCAG use land use designations contained in
General Plan documents to forecast, inventory, and allocate regional emissions from land use and
development-related sources. For purposes of analyzing consistency with the AQMP, if a project’s density is
consistent with the General Plan, its emissions would be consistent with the assumptions in the AQMP, and the
project would not conflict with SCAQMD’s attainment plans. In addition, the SCAQMD considers projects
consistent with the AQMP if the project would not result in an increase in the frequency or severity of existing
air quality violations or cause a new violation.
As discussed previously, the proposed Project would be consistent with the existing General Plan land use
designation for the Project site and would continue the auction operations onsite. Additionally, as discussed
below, Project emissions would be less than SCAQMD thresholds. As a result, the proposed Project would
also be consistent with the assumptions in the AQMP and would not conflict with SCAQMD’s attainment plans.
Construction Emissions. Construction activities associated with the proposed Project would generate
pollutant emissions from activities related to the construction of street improvements, utility trenching, paving,
and grading. It is mandatory for all construction projects to comply with SCAQMD Rules, including Rule 403
for controlling fugitive dust, PM10, and PM2.5 emissions from construction activities. Rule 403 requirements
include, but are not limited to, applying water in sufficient quantities to prevent the generation of visible
dust plumes, applying soil binders to uncovered areas, reestablishing ground cover as quickly as possible,
utilizing a wheel washing system to remove bulk material from tires and vehicle undercarriages before
vehicles exit the Project site, covering all trucks hauling soil with a fabric cover and maintaining a freeboard
height of 12-inches, and maintaining effective cover over exposed areas. Construction emissions would be
negligible as it would comply with Rule 403 and include minor improvements to the existing facility which
require minimum site preparation and limited exterior construction.
Table AQ-1 outlines the projected construction emissions that would occur as a result of the Project.

Operational Emissions. Operational emissions from implementation from the proposed Project would result
from customers and employees traveling to and from the site and from onsite operations. Emissions from the
operation of the auction facility would be below the SCAQMD threshold for all criterial pollutant emissions.
Therefore, the Project would have a less than significant impact on air quality.

BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
The proposed Project would consist of the addition of a third office trailer, the relocation of overhead
powerlines, the creation of a parking lot, street improvements, and the maintenance of two existing infiltration
basins. The disturbed developed areas on site would continue to be used as an auction area and storage
areas would continue to be disturbed by heavy construction machinery. All proposed Project impacts would
remain on the presently disturbed and developed land.
Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP). The Project is located within the Western Riverside
County MSHCP Lake Elsinore Area Plan of the Western Riverside County MSHCP. The site is not located
within a Criteria Cell or Cell Group, within plan-defined areas requiring surveys for narrow endemic plan
species of criteria area species, nor located within plan-defined areas requiring surveys for amphibian
species or mammalian species. However, the site is located within the Western Riverside County MSHCP
burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia) survey area. As such, a burrowing owl habitat assessment was conducted
onsite in August 2021 and determined that no burrowing owl signs were found on the site and that the area
Categorical Exemption
City of Lake Elsinore Vantage Auctions Project
28
was not in use by the species. Prior to any construction activity, a preconstruction survey would be required
based on standard MSHCP requirements to ensure that no burrowing owls have colonized the site prior to
Project activities.
Threatened and Endangered Plants. A total of 19 plant species are listed as state and/or federal
Threatened, Endangered, or Candidate species; and are required to be reviewed under the Narrow Endemic
Plan section of the Western Riverside MSHCP; or are Rare Plant Rank 1B.1 listed plants on the California
Native Plant Society Rare Plan Inventory. Of the 19 species surveyed, no species were present on the Project
site. However, Parry’s spineflower (Chorizanthe parryi var: parryi) has the potential to be present due to
suitable habitat being found onsite. However, suitable habitat for Parry’s spineflower is located outside of
the 17 acres of previously disturbed land that is utilized by the auction facility. As such, the Project would
not result in impacts to threatened or endangered plants.
Threatened and Endangered Animals. A total of 28 animal species are listed as state and/or federal
Threatened, Endangered, Candidate species and are required to be reviewed as well as other sensitive
species which have the potential to occur. All sensitive species within a 5-mile radius of the site were reviewed.
Of the 28 animal species surveyed, none were found to be present onsite though 11 species do have suitable
habitat on the site and have the potential to be present and are as follows:
- Southern California rufous-crowned sparrow (Aimophilia ruficeps canescens)
- Southern California legless lizard (Anniella stebbinsi)
- California glossy snake (Arizona elegans occidentalis)
- Orange-throated whiptail (Aspidoscelis hyperythra)
- Coastal whiptail (Aspidoscelis tigris stejnegeri)
- Dulzura pocket mouse (Chaetodipus californicus femoralis)

- Los Angeles pocket mouse (Perognathus longimembris brevinasus)
- Coast horned lizard (Phrynosoma blainvillii)
- Coast patch-nosed snake (Salvadora hexalepis virgultea)
However, suitable habitat for the 11 species that have potential to occur onsite is located outside of the 17
acres of previously disturbed land that is utilized by the auction facility. As such, the Project would not result
in impacts to threatened or endangered animals.
Nesting Birds. The Project may result in a potential impact to nesting birds if any shrubs are removed from
the site between February 1 and September 15. Migratory non-game native species are protected under
the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Additionally, Sections 2503, 3503.5, and 3513 of the California Fish
and Game Code prohibit the take of all birds and their active nests. The site contains shrubs on site and
adjacent trees that can be utilized by nesting birds. However, no trees or shrubs would be removed as part
of Project construction and previously undisturbed habitat would not be disturbed. Therefore, the Project
would not result in impacts to nesting birds.
Conclusion. The Project site contains approximately 7.57 acres of coastal sage scrub and 17 acres of
disturbed developed area. The site does not contain any streams, drainages, or riparian habitat.
Additionally, there are no wetlands or vernal pools. The proposed Project would remain in the 17 acres of
disturbed land and no impacts would be made to undisturbed areas. Therefore, the Project would result in
a less than significant impact to biological resources with the implementation of standard MSHCP
requirements for pre-construction burrowing owl surveys.
CULTURAL RESOURCES
The proposed Project would continue the existing operations and uses of the Project site. The site has already
been graded and disturbed and there are no historical buildings or resources located on the site. Therefore,
the Project would not result in any impacts to cultural resources.

The construction required for the addition of one mobile office trailer, trenching, grading, and paving would
span two months. The energy consumption during construction would be minor and significantly less than the
operation of the auction. Additionally, the energy consumption during construction onsite would be consistent
with energy usage for construction projects throughout Southern California.
Operation of the auction with the improvements would consume 17,021 kilowatt-hours and 6,092 British
thermal units (BTUs). The fuel consumption of the auction consists of 21,094 gallons of gasoline and 667
gallons of diesel fuel.
Operation of the of auction would comply with all the energy efficiency requirements under Title 24 and all
applicable City energy codes. Therefore, the construction and operation of the Project would result in a less
than significant impact related to inefficient, wasteful, or unnecessary energy use, and no mitigation would
be required.
GEOLOGY/SOILS
The proposed Project site has been previously graded and would continue the existing activities on the site.
Additionally, no clay soils have been historically mapped on the Project site. All improvements related to the
Project would take place on the previously disturbed areas of the site. Therefore, there will not be impacts
made related to geology and soils.
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
Greenhouse Gas Emissions: SCAQMD has convened a Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) CEQA
Significance Threshold Working Group to help lead agencies determine significance thresholds for GHG

City of Lake Elsinore Vantage Auctions Project
30
emissions when SCAQMD is not the lead agency. The tiered approach, using Tier 1 to Tier 5, is used to
evaluate potential GHG impacts from various uses and is equivalent to the existing consistency determination
requirements in CEQA Guidelines Sections 15064(h)(3), 15125(d), or 15152(a). This assessment will apply
the Tier 3: Numerical Screening Thresholds approach. Tier three consists of screening values, which the lead
agency can choose, but must be consistent with all projects within its jurisdiction. A project’s construction
emissions are averaged over 30 years and are added to the project’s operational emissions. If a project’s
emissions are below one of the following screening thresholds, then the project impact would be is less than
significant:
• Option 1: All land use types: 3,000 MT CO2e per year
• Option 2: Based on land use type: residential: 3,500 MT CO2e per year; commercial: 1,400 MT
CO2e per year; or mixed use: 3,000 MT CO2e per year
The City of Lake Elsinore utilizes Option 1, and therefore the threshold is 3,000 MT CO2e per year.
The Project’s construction GHG emissions are shown in Table GHG-1, and the overall construction and
operational emissions are shown in Table GHG-2. The emissions were calculated using the CalEEMod Model.
The construction emissions are amortized over 30 years. As shown in Table GHG-2, the Project’s GHG
emissions are 249 MT CO2e per year, below the 3,000 MT CO2e per year. Therefore, the Project would
have a less than significant GHG impact.

HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
The proposed Project would occupy and modify the existing improvements on the site and consist of the
addition of an office trailer, landscaping and other onsite improvements, and the repair of two infiltration
basins. No activities involving hazardous emissions or materials would be involved with the Project, and no
activities would impair adopted emergency response or evacuation plans. Therefore, there would be no
impacts related to hazards and hazardous materials.
HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY
The proposed Project would maintain the existing drainage culvert located at the northern end of the Project
site and repair the two existing infiltration basins for standard maintenance. One is located along the western
side of the site above the parking area and the second is located directly across to the west. The Project
would continue to maintain the drainage outlets on the north side of the Project site that drain into the existing
Temescal Water Company channel to the north of the site. The Project would improve the condition of the
infiltration basins and therefore no impact would be made to hydrology and water quality.
LAND USE AND PLANNING
The proposed Project would continue the existing operations and uses of the Project site and obtain a
Conditional Use Permit to comply with the City’s Municipal Code. The Project would also align with the City’s
required development standards and keep with the character of the surrounding General Plan Land Use
and Zoning designations. Therefore, any impact from the Project would be less than significant.
MINERAL RESOURCES
The proposed Project would continue all existing operations on the site and would not be used for mineral
extractions. Additionally, the site has not been designated as a locally important mineral resource recovery
site. Therefore, the Project would not result in any impact to mineral resources.
NOISE
The proposed Project would continue the existing use of the Project site which includes the operation of six
heavy construction equipment auctions per year. Proposed activity on the site would remain consistent to the
existing and therefore would not increase noise levels.
POPULATION AND HOUSING
The proposed Project would continue existing activities and operate with the existing number of employees
currently on the site which is expected to peak at 25. The Project site is zoned as Limited Manufacturing and
the Project vicinity is largely developed with industrial and institutional uses. The Project does not intend to
increase the number of employees and therefore, the Project would not result in impacts to population and
housing.
PUBLIC SERVICES
The proposed Project would continue the existing operations and use of the Project site and is not anticipated
to grow the facility in terms of customers or employees. As such, the Project would not result in a change to
acceptable service ratios and response times. Therefore, no impacts would be made to public services.
RECREATION
The Project is not proposing the creation of any recreational facility which may impact the natural
environment, nor will it result in the physical deterioration of park facilities because the Project does not
propose the construction of residential dwelling units. Therefore, the Project would not impact recreational
facilities.
TRANSPORTATION
The proposed Project would add one additional office trailer to the facility, repair the existing infiltration
basins, create a new driveway into the parking lot, street improvements along Flint Street, and other related
Categorical Exemption
City of Lake Elsinore Vantage Auctions Project
32
onsite improvements. Although modifications are being made to the site, no changes are proposed that would
increase existing traffic to and from the site.
The Project trip generation was prepared using trip counts taken at the Project driveway on
November 13, 2021, an auction day, to determine the daily and peak hour traffic volumes.
Table TR-1: Project Trip Generation
Source: Trip Generation and Parking Analysis, 2022 (Appendix B)
As shown in Table TR-1, the site currently generates 468 daily trips on auction day, including 69 trips during
peak hour. With PCE (passenger car equivalent) used, the trip generation of the auction would be 481 daily
trips including 71 trips during peak hour. On weekdays, the ramp up and ramp down operations would
generate 18 trips during the AM peak hour and 18 trips during the PM peak hour. The Project is not expected
to generate an increase in trips and therefore the current trips reflect the that of the proposed Project.
In addition, the Project proposes 330’ of street improvements along Flint Street from the western side of the
site to Silver Street. There are currently no street improvements along the site and therefore the Project
would improve the existing conditions. The Project vicinity is served by the Riverside Transit Agency, including
Bus Route 8 that has a stop at Graham and Langstaff roughly 0.7 miles southeast which would be available
to transit users traveling to and from the Project site.
Overall, the proposed Project would not result in any significant impacts relating to transportation and would
not be an expansion of use.
TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES
Categorical Exemption
City of Lake Elsinore Vantage Auctions Project
33
The proposed Project site is currently graded and developed, and the Project would continue the existing
activities on site. The Project would not result in any significant grading or ground disturbance to previously
undisturbed land. As such, the Project would not cause a substantial adverse change in significance of a tribal
cultural resource. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS
The proposed Project would include the installation of new 8-inch sewer and water lines through the site. The
Project would not result in a greater impact on the existing infrastructure, but rather improve the
infrastructure. Therefore, the project would not result in an any impacts to the local utilities and service
systems.
WILDFIRE
According to the CAL FIRE Fire Hazard Severity Zone map, the Project site is not located within an area
identified as a Fire Hazard Area that may contain substantial fire risk or a Very High Fire Hazard Severity
Zone (VHFHSZ) (CAL FIRE, 2021). Additionally, the Project does not include the infrastructure that would
exacerbate fire risk or that would result in impacts to the environment. As such, no impacts would occur.
5 Exceptions to Exemptions
In addition to investigating the applicability of CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Class 1) and Section
15061(b)(3), this CEQA document also assesses whether any of the exceptions to qualifying for the Class 1
categorical exemption for Existing Facilities are present. The following analysis compares the criteria of
CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 (Exceptions) to the Project.
a. Criterion 15300.2(a): Location: Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 11 are qualified by consideration of where the
project is to be located – a project that is ordinarily insignificant in its impact on the environment may in a
particularly sensitive environment be significant. Therefore, these classes are considered to apply all
instances, except where the project may impact on an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern
where designated, precisely mapped, and officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, state, or local
agencies.
The Project does not qualify for an exemption under Classes 3, 4, 5, 6 or 11. The Project is located within
an urban developed area and is not located within a sensitive environment. In addition, the Project would
not result in any impacts on an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern. Therefore, the
exception under criterion 15300.2(a) is not applicable.
b. Criterion 15300.2(b): Cumulative Impact: All exemptions for these classes are inapplicable when the
cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time is significant.
As discussed previously, the Project is consistent with the land use designation identified in the General Plan.
Thus, the proposed Project would be within the cumulative impacts analyzed for the Project site. In addition,
there has not been a large number of similar industrial uses developed near the Project site over time in a
way that such uses would combine with the Project to create a significant cumulative impact. Therefore, the
exception under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 (b) does not apply to the Project.
c. Criterion 15300.2(c): Significant Effects: A categorical exemption shall not be used for an activity where
there is a reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to
unusual circumstances.
There are no known unusual circumstances that are applicable to the Project, and which may result in a
significant effect on the environment. The proposed Project consists of the onsite and offsite improvements
within a developed Project site that is served by utilities and transportation facilities. Furthermore, the
proposed Project would not be constructing any permanent structures. The Project would be consistent with
the City’s General Plan and continue industrial use of the Project site. The proposed minor alterations and
re-tenanting of the light industrial buildings would not introduce a new activity to the area that could result
Categorical Exemption
City of Lake Elsinore Vantage Auctions Project
34
in a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, the exception under CEQA Guidelines Section
15300.2(c) does not apply to the Project.
d. Criterion 15300.2(d): Scenic Highways: A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which
may result in damage to scenic resources, including but not limited to, trees, historic buildings, rock
outcroppings, or similar resources, within a highway officially designated as a state scenic highway. This
does not apply to improvements which are required as mitigation by an adopted negative declaration or
certified EIR.
The Project site is not located along an officially designated scenic highway corridor. The closest Officially
Designated State Scenic Highway is a portion of State Route 91 located approximately 28.4 miles northwest
and State Route 74, located approximately 28.75 miles northeast of the Project site. Additionally, State
Route 15, which is located roughly 0.17 miles northeast of the site, is an Eligible State Scenic Highway – Not
Officially Designated. The Project site is not visible from State Route 74 or State Route 91. Additionally,
much of the Project site is screened from State Route 15 by the slopes located on the northwest portion of
the site. The site is visible along a portion of State Route 15, however a lack of current and proposed
structures on the site prevent attention being drawn to the site and the Highway is not officially designated.
Thus, development of the Project site would not result in impacts related to any scenic highway corridor.
Therefore, the exception under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2(d) does not apply to the Project.
e. Criterion 15300.2(e): Hazardous Waste Sites: Hazardous Waste Sites: A categorical exemption shall not
be used for a project located on a site which is included on any list complied pursuant to Section 65962.5
of the Government Code or any other list compiled for purposes related to identifying the prior release of
hazardous materials.
The Project site is not listed on the Department of Toxic Substance Control’s Envirostor as being a cleanup
site. The Project site is currently developed with existing trailers that would remain in place. Therefore, the
exception under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2(e) does not apply to the Project.
f. Criterion 15300.2(f): Historical Resources: A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which
may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resources.
The Project site is currently developed as a heavy construction equipment auction facility and would continue
existing activities. The site has no permanent structures and is not eligible for the California Register of
Historic Resources. Additionally, the Project site is not located in a historic district. Thus, the Project would not
destroy, demolish, or alter known historic resources. All construction would be confined to the Project site and
would not alter undeveloped portions of the site. Project construction would not impair the significance of
any historic structures. Therefore, the exception under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2(e) does not apply
to the Project.
On the basis of the evidence provided above, the Project is eligible for a Class 1 Exemption in accordance
with Section 15301, Existing Facilities, of the CEQA Guidelines. Furthermore, as discussed above, the Project
would not result in any significant environmental impacts and would qualify for a Common Sense Exemption
pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. Because the proposed Project meets the criteria
for categorically exempt existing facilities projects listed in CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, the Project
would be eligible for a Common Sense Exemption as it would not have a significant effect on the environment.
This analysis finds that a Notice of Exemption may be prepared for the Project.

Lagerstroemia Dynamite- Crape Myrtle is draped in stunning panicles of red frilly flowers at the ends of the
branches from early to late summer. It has attractive dark green foliage which emerges coppery-bronze in
spring. The oval leaves are highly ornamental and turn orange in fall. The fruit is not ornamentally significant. It is
a dense multi-stemmed deciduous tree with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its relatively fine texture sets it
apart from other landscape plants with less refined foliage. This is a relatively low maintenance tree, and is best
pruned in late winter once the threat of extreme cold has passed. It has no significant negative characteristics.

purple. Clumps spread slowly to up to 6 feet wide. In late spring to mid-summer the clusters of rose-pink flowers
are borne on tall red flower stalks to 5 feet long, that arch up and outward. These flowers, opening from the
bottom up, are quite attractive to hummingbirds. Individual rosette only flower once and are replace by younger
ones with old plants appearing to be closely packed grass-like clumps but are actually clusters of separate but
closely-spaced rosettes with the oldest flowering rosettes towards the center and younger vegetative rosettes
towards the outside.

Commencing on December 1, 2019 Eco Planet Landscaping initiated invasive species removal in the
southern portion of Vantage Auctions at 1101 W. Flint St. Lake Elsinore. Over the course of this time, Eco
Planet hand removed and chemically treated all invasive species establishing a successful native habitat
section of growth. The overall goal was to keep the success of the mining reestablishment and further
create a habitat for wildlife to thrive. Since completing this reestablishment period, Eco Planet has noted
less than 1% regrowth of invasive species and is able to quickly eliminate this regrowth to further endured
future success. Vantage Auctions has hired Eco Planet Landscaping for an ongoing weekly landscape
maintenance contract to ensure a successful habitat for future longevity. At this period in time, Eco Planet
Landscaping and Vantage Auction has met all criteria that California Fish and Wildlife will require for
native habitat.
