1. The proposed amendment will not be (a) detrimental to the health, safety, comfort, or general
welfare of the persons residing or working within the neighborhood of the proposed
amendment or within the City, (b) injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood
or within the City
a. The proposed zone change from commercial to industrial would be consistent with the
existing surrounding developments, which include other light industrial-related uses. The
project site is not adjacent or in close proximity to residential uses. Therefore, the zone
change is not anticipated to create adverse impacts for persons residing or working within
the neighborhood.
b. The application to change the zoning designation would not be injurious to the property or
improvements in the neighborhood because the land use designation change from
commercial to industrial would be more in line with the existing industrial developments
adjacent to the site and within the vicinity. Furthermore, the proposed industrial project
would contribute to the industrial vitality of the corridor along Collier Avenue and West
Minthorn Street as well as the City in general.
2. The proposed amendment will be consistent with the latest General Plan.
ZC No. 2021-02 proposes to change the project site’s current zoning designation from General
Commercial (C-2) to Limited Manufacturing (M-1). The project would also concurrently amend
the site’s current General Plan land use designation to an industrial designation to ensure that
the zone change would be consistent with the General Plan. Therefore, upon approval of
General Plan Amendment No. 2021-02 and the proposed zone change, the zoning would be
consistent with the latest General Plan.
Section 4: Based upon the evidence presented, both written and testimonial, and the
above findings, the Council hereby approves of Zone Change No. 2021-02.
Section 5: Severability. If any provision of this Ordinance or its application is held invalid
by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions, sections, or
applications of the Ordinance which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application,
and to this end, each phrase, section, sentence, or word is declared to be severable. Section 6: Effective Date. This Ordinance shall become effective at 12.01 a.m. on the
thirty-first (31st) day after the date of adoption
Section 7: Certification. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage of this Ordinance and
shall cause a synopsis on the same to be published according to law.
PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the City Council of the
City of Lake Elsinore, California, on this 10th day of March 2026.
