One (1) 10.94-acre lot for detached 140 condominium residences, one (1) 15.65 reserved open space lot, one (1) 1.39-acre water quality basin, two (2) recreation lots (0.77 acres), private streets (4.60 acres), and four (4) open space landscaping lots (0.65 acres). The project is located along State Route 74 (SR-74) east of the intersection of Riverside Drive and Grand Avenue (APNs: 379-060-005, 022 and 027); and Whereas, the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC) Section 16.24.160 requires that a land divider wishing to extend the life of a tentative map make a written application to the City Council (Council) not less than 30 days prior to the expiration of the tentative map requesting an extension of time on the map; and Whereas, Rick Rush, Tri Pointe Homes, submitted a request for an extension of time for TTM No. 38116 on December 22, 2023; and Whereas, on March 26, 2024, at a duly noticed Public Hearing the Council has considered the recommendation of City staff as well as evidence presented by the Community Development Department and other interested parties with respect to this item. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1: The Council has reviewed and analyzed the proposed Project pursuant to the appropriate Planning and Zoning Laws, and Chapter 16 (Subdivisions) of the LEMC. Section 2: On February 8, 2022, the City adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) (ER 2021-02) (SCH No. 2021110300) for the project in compliance with CEQA. The extension of time request has been evaluated against the previous analysis and mitigation measures contained in the MND. The extension does not create new significant impacts or substantially increase the severity of previously analyzed impacts compared to those identified previously and mitigated for in the MND. Therefore, the extension of time request is "within the scope" of the previously adopted CEQA document. Accordingly, Public Resources Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 bars the preparation of any further environmental review. Section 3: That in accordance with the California Subdivision Map Act (Cal. Gov. Code Section 66000 et. seq.) and the LEMC Section 16.24.160, the Council made and hereby reaffirms the following findings for the approval of TTM No. 38116: 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 Section 66473.5). a. The project site has General Plan land use designations of High Density Residential and Recreational. The High Density Residential land use designation provides for residential DocuSign Envelope ID: 2A34374A-F75C-41A1-BFFD-1400FA973F3A CC Reso. No. 2024-6 Page 2 of 3 densities between 19 and 24 units per net acre. The Recreation land use designation provides for public and private areas of permanent open space and allows for passive and/or active private and public recreation. The project includes 140 detached condominiums with a net density of 23 unit per net acre. Thus, the project would not exceed the allowable High Density Residential density of 24 dwelling units per acre. In addition, 15.65 acres of the project site, which is designated Recreational would be preserved as open space adjacent to Lake Elsinore. Therefore, the project is consistent with the residential and recreation General Plan land use designations for the site. The proposed subdivision is compatible with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the General Plan. b. All offsite mitigation measures have been identified in a manner consistent with the General Plan. 2. The site of the proposed subdivision of land is physically suitable for the proposed density of development in accordance with the General Plan. a.

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. a. TTM 38116 is consistent with the High Density Residential land use plan, development and design standards, and programs, and all other appropriate requirements contained in the General Plan. The PUD overlay district provides a mechanism to allow for flexibility in the development regulations and design standards of the underlying High Density Residential (R-3) base district. The proposed project is consistent and compatible with the General Plan and provides an increase in housing opportunities within the City. TTM 38116 is consistent with Housing Element Policy 3.1 to “Use the City’s General Plan, Municipal Code, other land use and development plans, and the development process to provide housing sites that meet the identified local need.” 4. The proposed division of land or type of improvements is not likely to result in any significant environmental impacts. a. Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) (ER 2021-02) (SCH NO. 2021110300) was prepared for TTM 38116. The MND identified potentially significant environmental effects but these impacts will be mitigated to below a level of significance through compliance with the mitigation measures set forth in the MND. TTM 38116 has been conditioned to comply with these mitigation measures. 5. The design of the proposed division of land or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems. a. TTM 38116 has been designed in a manner consistent with the General Plan and does not divide previously established communities. 6.
