Planning Application No. 2024-15 (Dexter Village): The Dexter Village project is a proposed
residential development with 230 apartment units (including 22 affordable units), 84
condominiums/townhomes, and 137 single-family residences for a total of 451 units on an
approximately 23-acre site. The project’s requests include Tentative Tract Map No. 38512 to subdivide
the property into separate lots for single-family and multi-family residential development, Residential
Design Review No. 2024-07 for the architectural design of the residential buildings, and Conditional
Use Permit No. 2024-08 to allow development of condominiums within the Commercial Mixed Use
(CMU) zoning designation. The townhomes consist of a mixture of two- and three-bedroom units
ranging from 1,230 to 1,508 square feet (SF), the detached single-family homes consist of three- and
four-bedroom units ranging in size from 1,323 to 2,936 SF, and the apartments consist of one- to three-
bedroom units ranging from 657 to 1,371 SF. Parking is proposed to be provided in attached two-car
garages and individual driveways for the single-family and condominium units and in one or two-car
tandem garages for the apartments in addition to open parking spaces. Dexter Village proposes onsite
amenities for residents such as recreation center, pool, playground, and fitness gym. The project is
within the Commercial Mixed Use Zoning District and is located on Dexter Avenue between 2nd and
3rd Streets (APN: 377-090-013, 377-090-037, 377-090-039, and 377-090-040).
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Initial Study (IS; Environmental
Review No. 2023-02) was prepared for the project to assess potential environmental impacts. The IS
determined that the project would have potentially significant environmental impacts, but those
potentially significant impacts could be mitigated to less than significant levels. A Mitigated Negative
Declaration (MND; State Clearinghouse No. 2025110457) was prepared and was made available for
a 30-day public review and comment period from November 12, 2025 to December 12, 2025. Notice
to all interested persons and agencies inviting comments on the MND was published in accordance
with the provisions of CEQA and the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: On January 20, 2026, at a duly noticed Public
Hearing, the Lake Elsinore Planning Commission by a 5-0 vote recommended that the City Council
approve the proposed project.
