processed in conjunction with the initial Project entitlements requested by the
developer. Design review is the final entitlement that the applicant must secure in
order to begin development of the dealership. The action taken by the legislative
body with regard to design review is part of the whole action. To that end,
consistent with Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations Section 15006, the
potentially significant environmental impacts of the Project have been analyzed
under Mitigated Negative Declaration 2005-06 and no further CEQA review is

Council makes the following findings for the approval of Commercial Design
Review 2006-1 l:
1. The Project, as approved, will comply with the goals and objectives of the
General Plan and the Zoning District in which the Project is located.
The proposed Project complies with the goals and objectives of the General
Plan and the C-2 General Commercial zoning designation. The Project is
consistent with the General Plan because the approval of this automobile
dealership will assist in achieving the development of a well-balanced and
functional mix of residential, commercial, industrial, open space, recreational
and institutional land uses. The automobile dealership will contribute to the
City's commercial land uses and diversify Lake Elsinore's economic base.
2. The Project complies with the design directives contained in Section 17.82.060
and all other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code.
The proposed Project is appropriate to the site and surrounding developments
in that the automobile dealership has been designed in consideration of the size
and shape of the property, thereby creating interest and varying vistas as a
person moves along the street. Further, the Project as proposed will
complement the quality of existing development and will create a visually
pleasing, non-detractive relationship between the proposed and existing
projects in that the architectural design, color and materials and site design
proposed evidence a concern for quality and originality, consistent with
existing automobile dealerships in the immediate area.
