makes the following findings regarding Commercial Design Review No. 2018-16:
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 is located within the Commercial-Specific Plan (C-SP) district of the Alberhill
Ranch Specific Plan (ARSP) that is intended to accommodate mixed-use development
projects within a freeway orientation. The predominant uses would be retail and service
commercial in conjunction with business park types of uses, such as research and
development, limited manufacturing, office and administrative uses. The proposed project is
proposing develop a service station with a convenience store and an indoor recreational
vehicle storage facility. The proposed Project is consistent with the provisions of the ARSP.
The ARSP was subject to a consistency finding with the General Plan prior to adoption.
Therefore, the Project is found to be consistent with the General Plan. The Project complies
with the goals and objectives of the General Plan because it will assist in achieving the
development of a well-balanced and functional mix of residential, commercial, industrial,
open space, recreational, and institutional land uses. The Project will serve to diversify and
expand Lake Elsinore’s economic base.
2. The Project complies with the design directives contained in the General Plan and all other
applicable provisions of the LEMC.
The Project is appropriate to the site and surrounding developments and blends in with the
surrounding industrial development. Sufficient setbacks and enhanced onsite landscaping
have been provided thereby creating interest and varying vistas as a person moves along
abutting streets and within the park. The Project will create a visually pleasing, nondetractive
relationship between the proposed development and existing projects through the use of a
‘Contemporary’ architectural design that is similar to existing developments in the vicinity. 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.

Commission at a duly noticed Public Hearing held on February 18, 2020. The Project, as
reviewed and conditioned by all applicable City divisions, departments and agencies, will
