Gov. Code §§ 59000 et seq.), the Lake Elsinore General Plan (GP), the Ramsgate Specific Plan, 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, Ramsgate Specific Plan, and the LEMC. Section 2: The Commission finds and determines that no new CEQA documentation is necessary. The Project comprises the whole of an action that was analyzed in the previously adopted Addendum No. 2 to the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SCH# 88090525). Approval of the Project will not change density or intensity of use; it simply establishes standards for color palettes, articulation, orientation, and design of single-family residential development. Therefore, no further environmental review is necessary. Section 3: That in accordance with Section 17.415.050.G of the LEMC, the Commission makes the following findings regarding Planning Application No. 2021-03 (Planning Design Review No. 2021-01): 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 is located within the Ramsgate Specific Plan and has a Land Use designation of Medium Low Density (MLD). The proposed Project constitutes build out of a previously approved tract map (TR 30698) that was found to comply with the goals and objectives of the General Plan and the Ramsgate Specific Plan. The proposed Project does not propose an increase in density of development than what was previously approved. Further, the single-family homes 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 Ramsgate Specific Plan and all applicable provisions of the LEMC. The Project is appropriate to the site and surrounding developments. The three (3) architectural styles proposed will create a distinctive street scene within the Project site. Sufficient setbacks and onsite landscaping have been provided thereby creating interest and varying vistas. 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 April 20, 2021. The Project, as reviewed and conditioned by all applicable City divisions, departments and agencies, will not have a significant effect on the environment.
