RE: Rome Hill Commercial Project MSHCP Consistency
Mr. Selleck:
The Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) is a comprehensive, multi-jurisdictional Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) conserving species and their
associated habitats in western Riverside County. The MSHCP is an HCP pursuant to Section 10(a)(1)(B) of the federal Endangered Species Act of 1973 (FESA), as well as a Natural Communities
Conservation Plan (NCCP) under California’s NCCP Act of 2001. The MSHCP authorizes the "take" of 146 plant and wildlife species identified within western Riverside County. On June 22,
2004, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service issued a Take Permit (Attachment 1) for the MSHCP area.
On January 13, 2004, the City Council of the City of Lake Elsinore, California (City Council) adopted a resolution approving the MSHCP and authorizing the Mayor to execute the MSHCP
Implementation Agreement (Attachment 2).
On November 18, 2025 the City Council adopted a resolution finding the Rome Hill Commercial project (Planning Application No. 2021-19 [General Plan Amendment No. 2022-01, Zone Change
No. 2022-02, Conditional Use Permit No. 2022-17, Commercial Design Review No. 2022-12, and Variance No. 2025-08]) (Project) consistent with the MSHCP (Attachment 3). Since the Project
is consistent with the MSHCP, demonstrating compliance with the issued take permit, no further take permits are required.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this letter, please call me at (951) 848-4046 or email me at dabraham@lake-elsinore.org.
