1.The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is
consistent with the General Plan. The proposed subdivision is compatible with the objectives,
policies, general land uses and programs specified in the General Plan (Government Code

The Project has a General Plan Land Use designation of Limited Industrial (LI). This
designation provides for industrial parks, warehouses, manufacturing, research and

Change is proposing to change the zoning designation of a small portion of the Project site
from Limited Manufacturing (M-1) to Commercial Manufacturing (C-M) to ensure that the

LI Land Use Designation. The Tentative Parcel Map is a subdivision of an 8.46-acre site into

2. The site of the proposed subdivision of land is physically suitable for the proposed density of
development in accordance with the General Plan.
The Project has a General Plan Land Use designation of Limited Industrial (LI). The Tentative
Parcel Map is a subdivision of an 8.46-acre site into four (4) parcels and a remainder parcel
for the purpose of Financing and Conveyance only. The Tentative Parcel Map is consistent
with the designated land use, development and design standards, and all other appropriate
requirements contained in the General Plan and the Subdivision Map Act. Any future
development for this area is required to conform to all standards set forth in the applicable
Specific Plan as well as the General Plan.
3. The effects that this project are likely to have upon the housing needs of the region, the public
service requirements of its residents and the available fiscal and environmental resources
have been considered and balanced.
The Project has a General Plan Land Use designation of Limited Industrial (LI). The Tentative
Parcel Map is a subdivision of an 8.46-acre site into four (4) parcels and a remainder parcel.
The Project will not have a direct impact on housing.
4. The design of the proposed division of land or type of improvements is not likely to cause
serious public health problems.
The Tentative Parcel Map has been adequately conditioned by all applicable departments and
agencies and will not result in any significant environmental impacts.The proposed
subdivision, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
Section 3: That in accordance with the City of Lake Elsinore’s General Plan
Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2005121019) (EIR), Public Resources
Code section 21083.3, and CEQA Guidelines section 15183, the Commission makes the following
findings and recommendations regarding the approval of Tentative Parcel Map No. 37773:
1. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Plan and an EIR was certified for the
General Plan. The General Plan EIR adopted by the City of Lake Elsinore on December 13,
2011 (per Resolution No. 2011-070) analyzed potential environmental impacts.
2. There are no environmental impacts peculiar to the subject property that were not analyzed
in General Plan EIR. The subject site does not contain any features that would create
environmental impacts that would be peculiar to the subject site beyond what was originally
analyzed and evaluated in the General Plan and EIR.
3. There are no significant environmental impacts, including off-site impacts or cumulative
impacts, that were not previously analyzed in General Plan EIR. That EIR analyzed the
environmental impacts associated with the conversion of vacant or underutilized land to
commercial uses. This division of land, without any additional development approval, does not
present any potential environmental impacts that were not analyzed in the EIR. Moreover,
there is insufficient information to conduct project-level review at this time and any attempt to
provide project-level review would be speculative. Accordingly, the General Plan EIR analysis
provides adequate program level of analysis of potential impacts.

4.No substantial new information that was not known at the time General Plan EIR was certified
has been discovered indicating that a significant impact identified in that EIR would be more
severe than previously determined. No information has been presented to, or discovered by,
the City that indicates the environmental impacts associated with increased commercial
development will be more severe than analyzed in the General Plan EIR.
5.That the decision regarding the environmental analysis and discussion above reflects the
independent judgment and analysis of the City.
Section 4: Based upon all of the evidence presented, the above findings, and the
conditions of approval imposed upon the Tentative Map, the Commission hereby recommends
that the Council approve Tentative Parcel Map No. 37773.
Section 5: This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
Passed and Adopted at a regular meeting of the Planning Commission of the City of Lake
Elsinore, California, this 18th day of February, 2020.
