NOW, THEREFORE, THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE, AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1: The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are hereby incorporated into these findings by this reference. Section 2: The Council 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 3: That in accordance with LEMC Section 17.415.070.C. Findings, the Council makes the following findings regarding CUP No. 2022-25: 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 office/warehouse with outdoor storage use is consistent with the proposed General Plan Land Use designation of Limited Industrial (LI). The LI Land Use designation provides for industrial parks, warehouses, manufacturing, research and development, public and quasi-public uses, and similar and compatible uses with a maximum 0.45 Floor Area Ratio (FAR). The project is proposing to develop a light industrial complex with 0.10 FAR, which is under the maximum allowed. The project site is also within the Business District of the General Plan. The Business District is located within the central area of the city. The main focus of the Business District is to support its position as the industrial and commercial hub of the city while ensuring that new development does not encroach upon the floodway and that development maintains an orientation towards this natural resource as a pedestrian corridor. The project would be consistent with the goals of the Business District, including the goal to strengthen its position as the industrial and commercial hub of the city while being sensitive to the natural wetlands, floodway, and floodplain. The proposed project would contribute to the commercial vitality of the Business District as well as the City in general. 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.

No. 2026-18 Page 3 of 4 The proposed use would not cause either directly or indirectly any detrimental effects to the existing surrounding community. The project has been thoroughly reviewed by all departments and 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 LEMC including building setbacks, parking, landscaping, and site access. Further, the project would complement the existing uses which include other existing light to medium industrial uses. 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 West Minthorn Street. These improvements would 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. Furthermore, the project would be surrounded by other similar and existing industrial developments and is not adjacent to sensitive uses such as residential. 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.
