NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1: The Commission has reviewed and analyzed the proposed project pursuant to the California Planning and Zoning Laws (Cal. Gov. Code §§ 59000 et seq.), the Lake Elsinore General Plan (GP), and the LEMC and finds and determines that the proposed project is consistent with the requirements of California Planning and Zoning Law and with the goals and policies of the GP and the LEMC. Section 2: The Commission finds and determines that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res. Code §§21000 et seq.: “CEQA”) and the CEQA Guidelines (14 C.C.R. §§ 15000 et seq.) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 and that the proposed project would not have a significant effect on the environment, and no new environmental documentation is necessary because all potentially significant effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (EIR; SCH No. 88090525) and Addendum No. 3 to said Final Supplemental EIR which was prepared for the Ramsgate Specific Plan No. 89-1 Fourth Revision and none of the conditions listed in Section 15162 exist. The Final Supplemental EIR (SCH No. 88090525) was adopted by City Council on March 27, 1990 and Addendum No. 3 was adopted on August 22, 2006. Approval of the Project will not change density or intensity of use; it simply establishes standards for color palettes, articulation, orientation, and design of single-family residential development. No substantial changes that require major revisions to the Final Supplemental EIR exis,t and no new information of substantial importance that requires revisions to the earlier Final Supplement EIR or Addendum No. 3 exists. Therefore, no further environmental documentation is necessary. Docusign Envelope ID: 6DEA9DDE-F0C8-4E5B-B4E7-7650B941E792 PC Reso.

The project site is in the Ramsgate Specific Plan and has a Medium Low Density Residential (MLD) land use designation. The intent of the MLD land use designation is to provide high- quality single-family homes. Residential densities shall not exceed 6 Dwelling Units per Acre (DU/AC). The applicant proposes to construct 131 detached single-family residences on a 37.3-acre site at a density of 3.51 DU/AC. Therefore, the proposed single-family residential development is consistent with land use goals and policies of the Ramsgate Specific Plan. Furthermore, the Ramsgate specific plan was found consistent with the General Plan at the time of its adoption and is therefore consistent with the General Plan. 2. The project complies with the design directives and all applicable provisions contained in the LEMC. The project is appropriate to the site and surrounding developments. The architectural style 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 on-site circulation would be achieved 3.
