NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The City Council has considered the Industrial Design Review No. 2004-04. The City Council finds and deterxnines that the project is consistent with all of the required procedures; policies, guidelines and provisions of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC). SECTION 2. That in accordance with LEMC Section 17.82 the City Council hereby finds as follows regarding Design Review No. 2004-04: CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 2006-35 PAGE 2 OF 4 FINDINGS - DESIGN REVIEW L 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 proposed Design Review complies with the goals and objectives of the General Plan in that the industrial use of the property as a towing and storage yard will assist in achieving a well-balanced and functional mix of residential, commercial, industrial, open space, recreational and institutional land uses which diversify Lake Elsinore's economic base. 2. The project complies with the design directives contained in Section 17.82.060 and all other applicable provisions of the LEMC. The proposed Design Review is appropriate to the site and surrounding development given the size and shape of the property. The proposed building which will be located on the tow and storage yard portion of the property occupies only 3% of the total project site, which is less than the maximum allowed building to lot coverage of 35% as set forth in the LEMC. The architecture of the building to be located in the tow and storage yard is labeled as "modern" style. Elements of the modern style architecture used on the proposed building include vertical angled accent columns, a metal canopy entrance, and horizontally ribbed equipment screening. The roof line of the building is broken up by vertical columns thereby creating a more dynamic and visually appealing structure. Moreover, the applicant will enclose the vehicle storage yard with a minimum six foot (6') decorative split face block wall, which will compliment the qualiry of existing buildings su~ounding the proposed project. Finally, applicant will provide two parking lots, one to ser-vice guests of the tow and storage yard and another to service guests of the pet cemetery. Each parking lot will consist of 12 parking spaces, two (2) of which are to be designated handicap spaces. CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 2006-35 PAGE 3 OF 4 Cumulatively, these design elements enhance the attractiveness of the project and add a unique layer of development to the surrounding area. The building creates a visually pleasing, non-detractive relationship between the proposed use and existing uses. 3. Subject to the attached Conditions of Approval, the proposed project is not anticipated to result in any significant adverse environmental impacts. Based upon the attached conditions of approval and analysis by all applicable city departments, divisions and interested agencies it has been determined that this project is exempt from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to a Class 32 exemption for In-Fill Development Projects (14 C.C.R ,~ 15332). The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies. The proposed development is located within city limits at 18181 Collier Avenue, Lake Elsinore and the project site is 2.5 net acres. Given the current use of the site as a tow yard and pet cemetery, the project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species; the site was not open space prior to the project proposal. The site will not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality given the conditions of approval imposed upon the applicant. Finally, the attached conditions of approval require that the applicant secure "Will Serve" letter from the applicable water district and that the applicant provide the City with a copy of that letter prior to issuance of a building permit. Therefore, the project is properly exempted from CEQA according to the Class 32 exemption. 4. Conditions and safeguards pursuant to Chapter 17.82.070 of the Zoning Code, including guarantees and evidence of compliance with conditions, ha~e been incorporated into the approval of the subject project to ensure development of the property in accordance with the objectives in Chapter 17.82. On February 7, 2006, the Lake Elsinore Planning Commission reviewed Industrial Design Review No 2004-04 in accordance with standards set forth in LEMC Section 17.82.070.
