Whereas Brad Woods, RD Construction, has filed an application with the City of Lake
Elsinore (City) requesting approval of Planning Application No. 2023-34 to develop the existing
3.04-acre vacant site with a two-unit manufacturing warehouse facility totaling 48,592 square feet
and related site improvements. The project includes a Conditional Use Permit (CUP 2023 -12) to
establish a two-unit manufacturing warehouse facility with an outdoor storage area; and an
Industrial Design Review (IDR 2023-04) to construct a two-unit manufacturing warehouse facility

4,613 square-foot mezzanines and two (2) 14-foot-wide roll-up doors. The site will provide 93
parking spaces and related site improvements, including wall and fencing, landscaping, and on-
site stormwater management. The project is located within Planning Area 3 of the East Lake

certain uses are desirable but may have operational characteristics that disproportionately impact
adjoining properties, businesses, or residents. Accordingly, such uses require a more
comprehensive review and approval procedure, including the ability to condition the project in
order to mitigate significant impact;
Whereas, pursuant to Section 17.415.070 (Conditional Use Permits) of the LEMC, the
Planning Commission (Commission) has been delegated has been delegated with the
responsibility of reviewing and approving, conditionally approving, or denying conditional use
permits; and,
Whereas, on December 16, 2025, at a duly noticed Public Hearing, the Commission has
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, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE, AND ORDER AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1: The Commission has considered the Project and has found it acceptable.
Section 2: The Commission finds that the proposed 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 15332 In-Fill
Development Projects. The Project is consistent with the applicable General Plan designation and
policies, as well as zoning designation and regulations, and is within the City’s boundaries on a
site less than five acres surrounded by urban uses. The subject property has no value as habitat
for endangered, rare or threatened species. Approval of the Project will not result in any significant

effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality and the Project is adequately served
by all required utilities and public services.
Section 3. That in accordance with LEMC Section 17.415.070.C. Findings, the
Commission makes the following findings regarding CUP No. 2023-12:
1. That the proposed use, on its own merits and within the context of its setting, is in accord
with the objectives of the General Plan and the purpose of the planning district in which
the site is located.
The proposed development is located within Planning Area 3 of the ELSP and has a land
use designation of Action Sports, Tourism, Commercial, and Recreation. This designation
provides for a wide range of extreme action sports and accessory manufacturing, service,
and retail uses. The project site is located within the Airport Overlay Land Use designation,
which provides for facilities such as warehouses, storage facilities, maintenance and
repair facilities, and hangars. The proposed project is an infill development project that
proposes to construct new warehouse facilities, which is supportive and compatible with
other intended uses in this designation. A project-related minor modification to the ELSP
is necessary to increase the allowable commercial/industrial square footage for Planning
Area 3. The minor modification would reallocate 50,000 square feet of allowable
commercial/industrial square footage from Planning Area 2 of the ELSP to Planning Area
3. The reallocation would not increase the overall development target for
commercial/industrial uses, which is a maximum of 458,000 sq. ft. Since the reallocation
does not increase the overall ELSP commercial/industrial development target, and the
request is being processed concurrently with a design review or conditional use permit, a
project-related minor modification. Furthermore, the reallocation of square footage would
not modify the intent of the land uses in Planning Areas 2 and 3. In addition, the minor
modification would also expand the Airport Overlay to include the existing Skylark Airport.
The Skylark Airport is already considered a part of the Airport Overlay and is directly
mentioned in Section 2.5.6 of the ELSP. As such, the modification to the Airport Overlay
area is for consistency with the overlay’s description. The original ELSP and the
subsequent amendments were subject to a consistency finding with the General Plan prior
to adoption. Therefore, the project is consistent with the General Plan.
2. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the general health, safety, comfort or general
welfare of persons residing or working within the neighborhood of the proposed use or the
City, or injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood or the City.
The proposed use does not propose either directly or indirectly any detrimental effects to
the existing surrounding community. The Project has been conditioned as such to avoid
any possible negative impacts associated with the proposed use.
3. The Site for the intended use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, and
for all the yards, setbacks, walls or fences, landscaping, buffers, and other features
required by this title.
The proposed use has been analyzed and staff has determined that the proposed use
meets all applicable sections of the ELSP and the LEMC and will complement the existing
uses, based on the submitted plans and the conditions of approval imposed on the Project.

4. The Site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways with proper design both as
to width and type of pavement to carry the type and quantity of traffic generated by the
subject use.
The project has been conditioned to construct ultimate half‐width improvements to the
city’s standards on the property's frontage along Corydon Road. These improvements will
be sufficient for the type and quantity of traffic generated by the proposed use.
5. In approving the subject use at the specific location, there will be no adverse effect on
abutting properties or the permitted and normal use thereof.
The Conditional Use Permit has been thoroughly reviewed and conditioned by all
applicable City departments thereby eliminating the potential for any adverse effects.
6. Adequate conditions and safeguards pursuant to LEMC 17.415.070.B, including
guarantees and evidence of compliance with conditions, have been incorporated into the
approval of the subject project to ensure development of the property in accordance with
the objectives of this chapter and the planning district in which the site is located.
Pursuant to Section 17.415.070.B of the LEMC, the Project was considered by the
Planning Commission at a duly noticed Public Hearing on December 16, 2025, and
appropriate and applicable conditions of approval have been included to protect the public
health, safety and general welfare.
Section 4: Based upon the evidence presented, the above findings, and the Conditions
of Approval imposed upon the Project, the Commission hereby approves Conditional Use Permit
No. 2023-12.
Section 5: This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
Passed and Adopted on this 16th day of December, 2025.
