APPENDIX A
Consistency with the General Plan
East Lake Specific Plan A-2
The East Lake Specific Plan Amendment No. 11 has been prepared in order to provide a
blueprint guide for approximately 3,000 acres in the back basin area of the City. The
Amendment offers opportunities for developing action sports, tourism, commercial,
recreation, residential, mixed use, preservation/mitigation, and other uses.
All specific plans are required by the Government Code to be consistent with the adopted
General Plan of the jurisdiction within which the Project is located.The East Lake Specific
Plan Amendment No. 11 is to be used as a means to implement the policies of the Lake
Elsinore General Plan. It shall provide a link between the policies of the above documents
and individual development proposals within the Specific Plan area. All subsequent
subdivision and parcel maps, all public and private development projects, and
discretionary permits within the Project area must be consistent with the East Lake
Specific Plan Amendment No. 11.
The format of this analysis is as follows:
➢ Restatement of the applicable General Plan goals and policies.
➢ Statement regarding whether the Specific Plan is considered to be consistent,
inconsistent or not applicable with the goal or policy.
➢ Discussion regarding the Specific Plari s consistency with the goal or policy.
