A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LAKE
ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, APPROVAL OF TENTATIVE TRACT
MAP NO. 38008 FOR A ONE-LOT SUBDIVISION OF THE 9.07-ACRE LOT FOR
CONDOMINIUM PURPOSES WITH 60 UNITS LOCATED AT APN 363-940-011
WITHIN THE CANYON HILLS SPECIFIC PLAN
Whereas, Tri Pointe Homes has filed an application with the City of Lake Elsinore (City)
requesting approval of Planning Application No. 2019-64 (Tentative Tract Map No. 38008 and
Residential Design Review No. 2020-04) proposing to subdivide the approximately 9.07 acre site
into one (1) 5.37 acre condominium lot with 60 detached condominium units, three (3) open space
lots and one (1) water quality detention basin. The project also proposes the design and
construction of 60 detached two-story condominium units ranging in size from 1,793 sq. ft. to
2,288 sq. ft., preliminary plotting, conceptual wall and fence plan, and related improvements
located for TTM 38008. The project is located within Phase 8, Planning Area 2B of the Canyon
Hills Specific Plan, Amendment No. 4, on the northeast side of the intersection of Railroad Canyon
and Tassel Way (APN: 363-940-011); and,
Whereas, pursuant to Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC) Chapter 16.24 (Tentative
Map) the Planning Commission (Commission) has been delegated with the responsibility of
making recommendations to the City Council (Council) pertaining to tentative maps; and,
Whereas, on June 1, 2021, at a duly noticed Public Hearing, the Commission 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: Prior to making a recommendation to the Council, the Commission has
reviewed and analyzed the proposed project pursuant to the appropriate Planning and Zoning
Laws, the Canyon Hills Specific Plan, Amendment No. 4 (CHSP #4), and Chapter 16
(Subdivisions) of 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 to the FEIR (SCH# 87111606) for Canyon Hills Specific Plan, Amendment
No. 3 (CHSP #3), which applied to Phases 7 and 8 of the Canyon Hills Specific Plan. Under CHSP
#3, Phase 8 was approved for the construction of up 915 multifamily and 9.1 acres of commercial
development. To date, 456 multifamily units have been constructed for Phase 8 leaving a capacity
of 459 multifamily units. CHSP #4 changed the Land Use Designation of the commercial
development (Planning Area 2B) located within Phase 8 from Neighborhood Commercial (C‐1) to
Multifamily 2 Residential District (MF2). The proposed 60-unit condominium project within
Planning Area 2B would fall within the development yields contemplated by the CHSP #3 and
would not result in any additional impact beyond what was already analyzed in the certified FEIR
and addenda. No substantial changes which require major revisions to the EIR exist and no new
information of substantial importance which require revisions to the earlier EIR exist. Therefore,
no further environmental review is necessary.
