The eastern 32.01 acres of the Project site (APN 347-250-011) are currently designated Hillside Residential and zoned Rural Mountainous Residential. The western 29.01 acres of the Project site (APNs 347-250-010, 377-110-045, -057, and -058) are currently designated Business Professional and zoned Commercial Office. Further, the eastern portion of the Project site is located within the Lake Elsinore Hills District, while the western portion is located within the Business District. Access to the Project site will be provided by Ohana Circle and Wasson Canyon Road. An emergency vehicle access road would be provided at Dexter Avenue. The Project site is mostly undeveloped and vacant, however,there is an existing residential structure on APN 377- 110-058, which will be demolished prior to grading. The Project site is surrounded with undeveloped land designated Low Medium Density Residential and Hillside Residential abutting the northern and eastern boundaries, undeveloped residential portions of the Spyglass Specific Plan abutting the southern boundary, and existing commercial and storage uses designated Business Professional abutting the western boundary. PROJECT DETAILS The Preliminary Land Use Plan depicts the proposed Project, which consists of four (4) warehouse buildings, including one (1) 247, 980 square foot building, one (1) 239,700 square foot building, one (1) 27,600 square foot building, and one (1) 39,780 square foot building on 47.68 acres, as well as one (1) 5.12-acre parcel with the potential development of up to 61 attached dwelling units (DU) at a density of 12 du/net acre. Planning Area 1 is proposed to be developed with 247,980 square feet of building space, consisting of a building footprint of 235,480 square feet and 12,500 square feet of mezzanine space. Building 1 would provide 46 loading docks, 72 trailer parking stalls, and 357 standard vehicle parking stalls. Planning Area 2 is proposed to be developed with 239,700 square feet of building space, consisting of a building footprint of 227,200 square feet and 12,500 square feet of mezzanine space. Building 2 would provide 35 loading docks,87 trailer parking stalls, and 325 standard vehicle parking stalls.A minimum 150-foot-wide visual and noise buffer would be provided along the eastern and southern edges of Planning Area 1 and eastern edge of Planning Area 2.

IELSINORE HEIGHTS—PROJECT DESCRIPTION August 19, 2024 LIPage 2 of 3 P L A N N I N G Planning Area 5 would consist of 5.12 acres of Medium Density Residential and would yield a maximum of 61 DUs at a density of 12 du/net acres. Planning Area 6 would provide for a 4.95-acre drainage channel for planned Line L-14 of the Lake Zone Master Drainage Plan. Planning Area 7 would provide 0.16 acres of open space, which may be dedicated to the City of Lake Elsinore for public use. Regional access to the Project site is provided via 1-15 from the Main Street exit located approximately%of a mile to the southeast. Direct vehicular access to the non-residential portion of the Project site would be provided via Ohana Circle (68' right-of-way), while access to the future residential portion would be provided via Wasson Canyon Road (60' right-of-way). Commercial truck and automobile access to Planning Areas 1, 2, 3, and 4, would be provided from the west,via Ohana Circle. Residential automobile access to Planning Area 5 would be provided from the northwest via the realigned Wasson Canyon Road,which would then continue east for future dedication by others.A gated 24'-wide fire access road for emergency purposes would be provided on Dexter Avenue. Please note that the proposed Project is not subject to the City's Good Neighbor Policy as each of the proposed buildings are less than 250,000 square feet, however,the Project would comply with its stated Policies as feasible. A detailed discussion is provided in the attached Good Neighbor Policy Memo. CONCEPTUAL PHASING The Project consists of seven (7) development phases, which are represented as Phases 1-7. Phase 1 represents the proposed mass grading for the entire Project site. Phase 2 represents the construction of the Line L-14 flood control channel, and major infrastructure improvements, including roadways and dry utilities. Phase 3 represents the construction of Building 1 and associated improvements. Phase 4 represents the construction of Building 2 and associated improvements. Phase 5 represents the construction of Building 3 and associated improvements. Phase 6 represents the construction of Building 4 and associated improvements. Phase 7 represents the construction of the future residential portion per separate entitlement. PROJECT OBJECTIVES: The following represent the main project objectives: 1. Provide for the development of state-of-the-art buildings that accommodate Business Professional land uses and recognizes the proximity of residential land uses by providing appropriate landscaping, buffering, and screening. 2. Provide Business Professional uses that create new job opportunities and reduce vehicle miles traveled by decreasing the need for City residents to commute outside of the City of Lake Elsinore and Riverside County for employment. 3. Provide the necessary infrastructure to facilitate proposed land uses in the area,guided by a fiscally sound plan for funding the construction and ongoing maintenance of these infrastructure systems. 4. Establish a unified thematic concept for the proposed Project through design elements such as architecture, monumentation, and theme walls. 5. Create a Project-wide landscape concept that features drought-tolerant plant materials to provide for an aesthetically pleasing outdoor environment, while minimizing the demand for water resources. 6. Provide an efficient use of the land,to maximize its value and to maximize property tax and other revenues for the City,while still being consistent with all City regulations. www.ubpl.auuiiig.com certified PLANNING • DESIGN • ENVIRONMENTAL • GRAPHICS WBENC wOw.tnS BL+E12 LNEto�St IELSINORE HEIGHTS—PROJECT DESCRIPTION August 19, 2024 IPage 3 of 3 P L A N N I N G ENTITLEMENT APPLICATIONS The proposed Project would include a: I.
