A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LAKE
ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, APPROVE TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP
NO. 38341 SUBDIVIDING 8.79 ACRES INTO SIX PARCELS RANGING IN SIZE
FROM 0.76 ACRES TO 2.49 ACRES LOCATED AT APNS: 377 -140-28, 377-140-
29, 377-140-30, 377-140-35 & 377-140-44
Whereas, Fairway Commercial Partners, Inc., has filed an application with the City of
Lake Elsinore (City) requesting approval of Planning Application No. 2021 -29 (Tentative Parcel
Map No. 38341 and Industrial Design Review No. 2021 -05) to subdivide 8.79 acres into six (6)
parcels ranging in size from 0.76 acres to 2.49 acres and to develop six (6) industrial buildings
ranging in size from 12,000 sq. ft. to 42,000 sq. ft. (149,500 sq. ft. total) along with 254 parking
spaces and related improvements on the same property (Project). The Project is located on the
northwesterly side of Chaney Street and southwesterly of Minthorn Street, at the southerly end
of Birch Street (APNs: 377-140-28, 377-140-29, 377-140-30, 377-140-35 & 377-140-44);
Whereas, pursuant to Chapter 16.24 (Tentative Map) of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code
(LEMC), the Planning Commission (Commission) has been delegated with the responsibility of
making recommendations to the City Council (Council) per taining to tentative maps; and
Whereas, on November 16, 2021, at a duly noticed Public Hearing, the Commission
considered evidence presented by the Community Development Department and other
interested parties with respect to this item.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LAKE
ELSINORE DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: Prior to making a recommendation to the Council, the Commission has
reviewed and analyzed the proposed Project pursuant to the appropriate Planning and Zoning
Laws, and Chapter 16 (Subdivisions) of the LEMC.
Section 2: The Commission finds and determines that, and no new environmental
documentation is necessary because all potentially significant effects have been adequately
analyzed in an earlier Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND). All potentially significant impacts
have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to the earlier MND and none of the conditions described
in Section 15162 exist. MND No. 2007 -05 (SCH# 2007071157) was adopted in 2007 for the
Fairway Business Park project that evaluated environmental impa cts that would result from the
complete build-out of the Fairway Business Park project. Phase III includes the development of
six (6) buildings an 8.79 -arce portion of the project site. Phase III replaces 11 (7 -Industrial uses
and 4Office/Commercial Showro om uses) buildings totaling 136,049 sq. ft. ranging in size from
6,810 sq. ft. to 21,182 sq. ft. with six (6) (all industrial uses totaling 149,500 sq. ft. ranging in size
from 12,000 sq. ft. to 42,000 sq. ft. The proposed modifications would increase the total
developable area by 15,359 sq. ft. The proposed increase in building area was analyzed for
potential traffic impacts and was found to have a lesser impact than what was previously evaluate
as the proposed project replaced the more intensive land uses , Office/Commercial Showroom
uses with less intensive warehouse uses. Additional analysis focused on the current built
environment as several projects and corollary improvements have been constructed since the

original project analysis. As a result of this analysis fair share contributions for the construction
of traffic signals at the intersections Collier Avenue and 3 rd Street and Minthorn Street and
Chaney Street were no longer warranted as those intersections were no long necessary as new
installed traffic signals at the intersections of Collier Avenue and Crane Street and Collier Avenue
and Minthorn Street rendered th e originally contemplated signals as no longer being necessary
as they create issues with qu euing due to the distance between intersections and would create
an inferior environmental condition. The proposed disturbance area was not increased beyond
what was previously analyzed. Changes in the project’s drainage and water quality were
assessed through a revised and approved Preliminary Water Quality Management Plan There
are no other changes proposed with Phase II. No substantial changes that require major revisions
to the MND exist and no new information of substantial importance that require revi sions to the
earlier MND exist.

Commission makes the following findings for approval of Tentative Parcel Map (TPM) No. 38341:
