proposed zone changes pursuant to the California Planning and Zoning Laws (Cal. Gov.
Code §65000 et seq.), the Lake Elsinore General Plan and the Lake Elsinore Municipal
Code and finds and determines that the proposed zone changes are consistent with the
requirements of California Planning and Zoning Law and with the goals and policies of
the Lake Elsinore General Plan and the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code.

Quality Act (CEQA), the Planning Commission determines that the Recirculated
