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

consistent with the requirements of California Planning and Zoning Law and with the goals and
policies of the GP, ELSP, and the LEMC.

analyzed in an earlier Environmental Impact Report (EIR). All potentially significant impacts have
been avoided or mitigated pursuant to the earlier EIR and none of the conditions described in
Section 15162 exist. EIR (SCH# 2007071157) was adopted in 2011 for the General Plan Update
and evaluated environmental impacts that would result from the complete build-out of the Project
planning area. No substantial changes that require major revisions to the EIR exist and no new
information of substantial importance that require revisions to the earlier EIR exist.
Section 3: That in accordance with Section 17.415.050.G of the LEMC, the Commission
makes the following findings regarding IDR No. 2021-06:
1. The Project, as approved, will comply with the goals and objectives of the General Plan,
Specific Plan and the Zoning District in which the Project is located.

The Project involves a proposal to construct one two-story, 25,449 sq. ft. industrial building,
a parking area with 51 spaces including two loading spaces, and 16,803 sq. ft. of
landscaping on a 1.56-acre site and is consistent with the Project site’s current General Plan
Land Use designation of Business Professional (BP). The BP Land Use designation
provides for office and administrative uses, light industrial, research and development,
office-based firms, including office support facilities, restaurants, medical clinics, public and
quasi-public uses, and similar and compatible uses with a maximum 0.45 Floor Area Ratio
(FAR). The proposed Project FAR is 0.37, and the proposed use of the new building is off-
road vehicle manufacturing which is consistent with the purpose of the BP land use
designation.
The Project site is in the Business District of the General Plan. According to General Plan
Section 3.0, Business District Plan, the main focus of the Business District is to “to support
its position as the industrial and commercial hub of the City.” The Project would be consistent
with the goals of the Business District Plan, including the goal to support a vibrant
commercial and industrial hub with high quality developments that have a strong orientation
towards major corridors. The proposed zoning for the subject site is Limited Manufacturing
(M-1). The proposed use is identified as permitted in the M-1 zone pursuant to Section
17.136.020.L.8 of the LEMC.
2. The Project complies with the design directives contained in the LEMC and all applicable
provisions of the LEMC.
The Project design is appropriate to the site and surrounding developments. The
architectural design of the proposed building conforms to the provisions of Chapter 17.112
(Nonresidential Development Standards) of the LEMC. Sufficient setbacks and enhanced
onsite landscaping have been provided, thereby creating visual interest and varying vistas
as a person moves along abutting streets. The Project will create a visually pleasing, non-
detractive relationship between the proposed development and existing development in the
vicinity through the use of a high-quality architectural design. 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.
The Project has been reviewed by all applicable City divisions, departments and agencies,
and permit conditions have been added requiring the Project to comply with applicable
adopted plans and policies.
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 IDR No. 2021-06.
Section 5: This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
Passed and Adopted on this 15th day of November, 2022.
