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
Specific Plan (ELSP) on the northeastern corner of the Corydon Road and Bryant Street
intersection and is more generally known as 32291 Corydon Street and 32251 Corydon Road and
encompasses Assessor’s Parcel Numbers: 370-080-002 and 370-080-003;
Whereas, pursuant to Section 17.415.050 (Major Design Review) of the Lake Elsinore
Municipal Code (LEMC), the Planning Commission (Commission) has been delegated with the
responsibility of reviewing and approving, conditionally approving, or denying design review
applications; 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 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 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 Section 17.415.050.G of the LEMC, the Commission
makes the following findings regarding IDR No. 2023-04:
1. The Project, as approved, will comply with the goals and objectives of the General Plan,
Specific Plan and the Zoning District in which the Project 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 sq. ft. 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 Project complies with the design directives contained in the LEMC and all applicable
provisions of the LEMC.
The Project is appropriate to the site and surrounding developments. The architectural
design of the proposed building complies with the Architectural Guidelines & Development
Standards of the ELSP and the Nonresidential Development Standards (Chapter 17.112) of
the LEMC. The architecture has been designed to achieve harmony and compatibility with
the surrounding area. The colors and materials proposed will assist in blending the
architecture into the existing landscape and are compatible with other colors and materials
used on other properties near the Project site. In addition, the site design provides safe and
efficient on-site circulation.
3. Conditions and safeguards pursuant to Section 17.415.050.G.3 of the LEMC, including
guarantees and evidence of compliance with conditions, have been incorporated into the
approval of the Project to ensure development of the property in accordance with the
objectives of Section 17.415.050.
