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 proposed General Plan Amendment No. 2005-08, prior to making a decision to approve the proposed amendment to the Land Use Map. The City Council finds and deternunes that CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 2006-44 Page 2 of 4 Negative Declaration No. 2006-02 is adequate and prepared in accardance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) which analyzes environmental effects of ends City Council certification, based upon the following findings and determinations. SECTION 2. That in accordance with State Planning and Zoning law and the City of Lake Elsinore, the following findings for the approval of General Plan Amendment No. 2005-08 ha~e been made as follows: L The proposed General Plan Amendment will not be; a) detrimental to the health, safety, comfort or general welfare of the persons residing or worlcing within the neighborhood of the proposed amendment or within the City, or b) injurious to the property or improvements in the neighbarhood or within the City. The proposed General Plan Amendment has been analyzed relative to its potential to be detrimental to the health, safety, comfort and welfare of the persons residing or working within the neighborhood of the proposed amendment. The existing designation of I~ery Low Density Residential and Mountainous area is similar to the Rural Residential and Mountainous Residential designated in the County General Plan and will not result in a material increase in density. Further, the proposal to develop the site under the Specific Plan designation assures that the development standards and design guidelines of the Specific Plan will be consistently applied. 2. The proposed General Plan Amendment will permit reasonable development of the area consistent with its constraints and will make the area more compatible with adjacent properties. The existing City General Plan designation of Very Low Density and Mountainous area are similar and consistent with the County's General Plan designation of Rural and Mountainous Residential. Therefore, there is Zittle significant change to the anticipated land use for the site. 3. The proposed General Plan Amendment would establish a land use designation and usage more in character with the subject property's location, access, and constraints. The General Plan Amendment proposes a boundary adjustment and would keep a designation in conformance with the existing City General Plan of Very Low Density and Mountainous area, as well as be consistent with the CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 2006-44 Page 3 of 4 County's General Plan designation of Rural and Mountainous Residential. In addition, the density is appropriate foY the site's development conditions because it accommodates a range of site constraints, and permits a seamless integration with the adjacent Canyon Hills Specific Plan area, while remaining sensitive to the adjacent rural residential Zand uses 4. The proposed General Plan Amendment will not have a significant effect on the environment. The General Plan Amendment does not propose any significant change to existing land use designations and will not result in any significant environmental impact. All environmental impacts have been reduced to the level of insignificance by project design and Negative Declaration No. 2006- 02 has been prepared. SECTION 3. PURSUANT TO THE ABOVE FINDINGS, the City Council of the City of Lake Elsinore hereby approves General Plan Amendment No. 2005-08. SECTION 4. This Resolution shall take effect from and after the date of its passage and adoption.
