(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

Section 3: That in accordance with Section 17.415.050.G of the LEMC, the Council

1. 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 project site has General Plan land use designations of High Density Residential and
Recreational. The High Density Residential land use designation provides for residential
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

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 project site is zoned as High Density Residential (R-3) and Recreation (R). The R-3
zoning designation allows for residential dwellings at densities of up to 24 dwellings to the
net acre. The project includes 140 detached condominiums with a net density of 23 unit per
net acre. Thus, the project would not exceed the allowable R-3 density of up to 24 dwelling
units per acre. In addition, 15.65 acres of the project site, which is zoned R would be
preserved as open space adjacent to Lake Elsinore. In addition, the project complies with
the Planned Development Unit (ZC 2021-04; PUD) overlay district for the portion of the
subject property that is currently zoned High Density Residential (R-3). The proposed project
complies with the minimum standards of the PUD Overlay district, for lot size, setbacks, lot
coverage, building height, minimum dwelling unit size, and parking. The proposed project is
consistent with all other applicable provisions of the PUD Overlay district.
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. The three (3)
architectural styles proposed will create a distinctive street scene within the project site.
Sufficient setbacks and onsite landscaping have been provided thereby creating interest
and varying vistas. In addition, safe and efficient circulation has been achieved onsite.
3. The Project complies with current laws, standards, and policies in accordance with Section
17.415.050.I of the LEMC.
The extension of time request has been reviewed by all applicable City divisions,
departments and agencies to ensure that the project complies with all applicable current
laws, standards and policies.
Section 4: Based upon the evidence presented, both written and testimonial, and the
above findings, and the Conditions of Approval imposed upon the project, the Council hereby
approves a two-year extension of time for Residential Design Review No. 2021-02 to February 8,
2026.
