REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION
To: Honorable Chair and Members of the Planning Commission
From: Damaris Abraham, Community Development Director

Date: April 21, 2026

Community Benefit Fees
Applicant: Vanessa Salladay, GC Global, LLC
Recommendation
1. Find that the proposed project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act

ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, APPROVE THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AMENDMENT
(DA-2026-02) FOR GC GLOBAL, LLC LOCATED AT 31875 CORYDON ROAD, UNIT 140
(APN: 370-051-010)
Project Location
Pursuant to Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC) Section 17.156.040, cannabis businesses are
permitted only within the M-1 (Limited Manufacturing) and M-2 (General Manufacturing) zoning
districts. The subject cannabis business is located in the M-1 district at 31875 Corydon Road, Unit
140, approximately 866 feet northwest of the Corydon Road and Cereal Street intersection and
encompasses Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) 370-051-010.
Background
On November 28, 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1383 (Cannabis Ordinance) to
establish land use regulations and permitting requirements for cannabis businesses in LEMC
Section 17.156. The Cannabis Ordinance includes regulations such as, but not limited to, allowed
types of cannabis businesses, permitted zoning districts, location requirements, and maximum
number of cannabis business permits.
DA 2026-02 (Gelato DA Amendment)
Page 2 of 3
In order to operate a cannabis business in the City, a business must have an approved conditional
use permit, City business license, and applicable State license(s). The cannabis businesses also
enter into a Development Agreement (DA) with the City pursuant to LEMC Chapter 19.12 and
Government Code Sections 65864 through 65869.5. The DAs provide a uniform approach to
safeguard the City from certain known and unknown impacts and costs on City infrastructure,
services and neighborhoods related to the establishment of cannabis related land uses. As such,
the DAs include public benefits for the community in the form of payment of Community Benefit
Fees (CBF). Under the current terms of the DA, the cannabis businesses are obligated to pay the
CBF to the City annually and the fees are assessed based on the floor area square footage for
each business at $18 per square foot with an annual four percent (4%) increase in the CBF rate.
Project Description
The cannabis business is requesting to amend their DA to revise the CBF and establish a
separate CBF rate for retail (e.g. storefront, delivery to customers) versus non-retail (e.g.
cultivation, distribution, manufacturing and testing laboratory) cannabis operations. The proposed
amendment also includes revisions to the definitions and general provisions. All other terms and
provisions of the previously adopted DA would remain unchanged and would still be applicable.
The requested amendments are as a result of the City Council Cannabis Subcommittee’s
response to the cannabis business owners’ concerns with operating a viable and successful
cannabis business in the City.
Discussion
Since adopting the Cannabis Ordinance, other surrounding cities as well as Riverside County
have allowed cannabis uses within their jurisdiction which has created a competitive market for
the cannabis businesses in Lake Elsinore. Due to the growing competition, stringent land use
regulations and permitting requirements, and costs associated with operating and managing a
cannabis business – the businesses have expressed concerns with their ability to remain in
operation. The Cannabis Subcommittee reviewed these concerns and directed staff to amend the
Cannabis Ordinance and DAs to alleviate these issues while still ensuring compatible land uses
and protecting the general welfare and safety of the community. More specifically, the following
is a summary of the proposed DA amendment:
Revised CBF for Cannabis Retail: The CBF rate for cannabis retail would be capped at
$25 per square foot. Once the retail CBF rate reaches $25 per square foot, the 4% annual
increase will no longer be applicable.
Revised CBF for Cannabis Non-Retail: The CBF rate for cannabis non-retail would be
reduced to $5 per square foot with no 4% annual increase.
CBF Payments: Cannabis businesses would now have the option to pay their CBF
payments in 12 (monthly) equal payments instead of a lump sum payment annually.
Floor Area Definition: The definition of “floor area” is proposed to be revised to mean the
interior gross floor area square footage of a cannabis facility. In addition, the definition
DA 2026-02 (Gelato DA Amendment)
Page 3 of 3
would be clarified to distinguish between cannabis retail and non-retail business floor
areas. This revised definition is to create a clear delineation between the types of cannabis
uses within a cannabis facility for purposes of calculating a cannabis business’ revised
CBF.
Floor Plan Exhibit(s): An updated floor plan exhibit of the cannabis facility would be
included to provide a clear delineation between the retail and non-retail floor areas.
Any future changes to the cannabis facility’s floor plan layout would require an amendment to the
previously approved CUP subject to the Planning Commission’s review at a separate public
hearing. Any CUP amendment that would revise the DA floor plan exhibit would be formalized
through an Operating Memoranda pursuant to the terms of the cannabis business’ DA.
Environmental Determination
The proposed project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res.
Code §§21000 et seq.: “CEQA”) and the CEQA Guidelines (14 C.C.R. §§ 15000 et seq.) pursuant
to Section 15301 (Class 1, Existing Facilities). Class 1 consists of the operation, repair,
maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private
structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no
expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination. The
proposed project is an existing cannabis business that is operating in a fully developed site and
buildings. The proposed amendment to the business’ development agreement would not result in
new construction, additional square footage, or expansion of the existing uses.
Public Notice
Notice of the public hearing has been published in the Press-Enterprise newspaper and mailed
to property owners within 600 feet of the subject properties. As of the writing of this report, no
written comments concerning these applications have been received by staff.

AGREEMENT AMENDMENT (DA-2026-02) FOR GC GLOBAL, LLC, LOCATED AT
31875 CORYDON ROAD, UNIT 140 (APN: 370-051-010)

cultivation, distribution, manufacturing and testing laboratory) cannabis operations. The proposed
amendment also includes revisions to the definitions and general provisions. The project is
located at 31875 Corydon Road, Unit 140 (APN: 370-051-010);
Whereas, Section 6.0 of the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat
Conservation Plan (MSHCP) requires that all discretionary projects within a MSHCP Criteria Cell
undergo the Lake Elsinore Acquisition Process (LEAP) and Joint Project Review (JPR) to analyze
the scope of the proposed development and establish a building envelope that is consistent with
the MSHCP criteria;
Whereas, Section 6.0 of the MSHCP further requires that the City adopt consistency
findings demonstrating that the proposed discretionary entitlement complies with the MSHCP
Criteria Cell, and the MSHCP goals and objectives;
Whereas, pursuant to Chapter 19.12 (Development Agreements) of the Lake Elsinore
Municipal Code (LEMC) the Planning Commission has been delegated with the responsibility of
reviewing and making a recommendation to the City Council whether the development agreement
is consistent with the City’s General Plan and whether to approve the development agreement;
and
Whereas, on April 21, 2026, at a duly noticed Public Hearing, the Planning Commission
(Commission) considered evidence presented by the Community Development Department and
other interested parties with respect to this item and recommend the City Council approve the
development agreement amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LAKE
ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1: That in accordance with the MSHCP, the Commission makes the following
findings for MSHCP consistency:

Conservation Authority’s (RCA) JPR processes as it is not located within a Criteria Cell.
2. The Project is consistent with the Riparian/Riverine Areas, Vernal Pools Guidelines, and
the Fuel Management Guidelines as the Project is wholly located within an existing
building and does not include any earth disturbing activities therefore Sections 6.1.2 or
6.3.1 of the MSHCP are not applicable.

3. The Project is consistent with the Protection of Narrow Endemic Plant Species Guidelines
and the Additional Survey Needs and Procedures because the project is not located within
any Narrow Endemic Plant Species Survey Areas or Critical Species Survey Areas.
4. The Project is consistent with the Fuels Management Guidelines because the Project site
is not within or adjacent to any MSHCP Criteria Cell or conservation areas.
5. The Project has been conditioned to pay any applicable MSHCP Local Development
Mitigation fees.
Section 2: The Commission hereby finds and determines that the Project is categorically
exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Publ. Res. Code §§21000 et seq. “CEQA”)
and CEQA Guidelines (14. Cal. Code Regs. §§15000 et seq.), specifically pursuant to Section
15301 (Class 1 – Existing Facilities), because the proposed project is an existing cannabis
business that is operating within a fully developed site and building. The proposed amendment to
the business’ development agreement would not result in new construction, additional square
footage, or expansion of the existing use.
Section 3: That in accordance with California Planning and Zoning Law and the Section
19.12.070 (Planning Commission report) of the LEMC, the Commission makes the following
findings regarding Development Agreement No. 2026-02:
1. It is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in
the General Plan and any applicable specific plan.
The proposed development agreement amendment will continue to help offset the
potential costs incurred by the City associated with the establishment of a cannabis facility
within an industrial district. The project site’s General Plan Land Use designation is Limited
Industrial (LI). The proposed project is consistent the LI land use designation and with the
objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the General Plan.
2. It is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the regulations prescribed for, the land
use district in which the real property is located.
The proposed development agreement amendment will continue to facilitate the
establishment of the cannabis facility within an existing industrial building. The cannabis
facility has been in operation which includes manufacturing and storage uses consistent
with other similar businesses within the Limited Industrial (LI) General Plan Land use
designation and the Limited Manufacturing (M-1) Zoning designation.
3. It is in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good land use practices.
The existing cannabis facility has been operating in a manner that has not resulted in
negative impacts to the public and its general welfare. The proposed development
agreement amendment will ensure the cannabis facility continues to have beneficial
impacts to the surrounding community. Furthermore, the project has been reviewed and
conditioned by all applicable City departments to reduce the potential for any adverse
effects.
4. It will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare.

REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION
To: Honorable Chair and Members of the Planning Commission
From: Damaris Abraham, Community Development Director
Prepared by: Carlos Serna, Associate Planner
Date: April 21, 2026
Subject: Planning Application No. 2021-19 (Rome Hill Commercial - TPM No. 39493) -
A Request to Subdivide an Existing 6.77-acre Parcel into Two Parcels with
One Letter Lot Located at the Corner of Grand Avenue and Kathryn Way
Applicant: Guy Selleck, GEM Investments, LLC
Recommendation
1. Find that the proposed subdivision is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 and 15315 (Class 15, Minor Land
Divisions) since the proposed subdivision project would not have a significant effect on the
environment and no new environmental documentation is necessary because all potentially
significant effects have been adequately analyzed in a previously adopted Mitigated Negative
Declaration (MND; SCH No. 2025090173); and
2. Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LAKE
ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, APPROVE TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 39493 TO
SUBDIVIDE AN EXISTING 6.77-ACRE SITE INTO TWO PARCELS (2.19-ACRES AND 4.53-
ACRES) AND ONE 0.05-ACRE LETTER LOT FOR THE ROME HILL COMMERCIAL
PROJECT LOCATED AT APN 371-150-017.
Project Location
The project site is located at the corner of Grand Avenue and Kathryn Way within the East Lake
District neighborhood. The project site consists of an approximately 6.77-acre undeveloped area
and includes Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 371-150-017. The project site is currently zoned as
Commercial Manufacturing (C-M) and the average slope does not exceed 20 percent.
PA 2021-19 (Tentative Parcel Map No. 39493)

Environmental Setting
Table 1: Environmental Setting
Background
On November 15, 2025, the City Council approved the Rome Hill Commercial project to allow two
(2) new commercial manufacturing warehouses with office spaces totaling 92,760 sq. ft. with an
outdoor storage area as well as other related improvements such as new parking, landscaping,
and offsite improvements along Grand Avenue.
The Rome Hill Commercial project’s approvals included the following: General Plan Amendment
(GPA) No. 2022-01 to amend the land use designation from General Commercial (GC) and High
Density Residential (HDR) to Light Industrial (LI); Zone Change (ZC) No. 2022-02 to rezone from
Commercial Park (C-P) and High Density Residential (R-3) to Commercial Manufacturing (C-M);
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2022-17 to allow outdoor storage; Commercial Design Review
(CDR) No. 2022-12 to establish the building and site design; and Variance (VAR) No. 2025-08 to
reduce the required front yard setback from 15 ft. to 6 ft.; all collectively processed under Planning
Application No. 2021-19.
In addition to the above entitlement approvals, the City Council also adopted a Mitigated Negative
Declaration (MND; SCH No. 2025090173) for the project which determined that any potential
environmental impacts would be mitigated to below a level of less than significant.
Project Description
Tentative Parcel Map (TPM) No. 39493 consists of an existing 6.77-acre parcel located within the
Commercial Manufacturing (C-M) zoning district. Gem Investments, LLC, proposes to subdivide
the parcel into two parcels and one lettered lot with Parcel 1 proposed to be 2.19 acres, Parcel 2
proposed to be 4.53 acres, and Lot A proposed to be 0.05 acres.
The proposed subdivision is to create two new parcels to phase the future construction for the
Rome Hill Commercial project, as well as to allow the developer the ability to sell one of the
parcels to a future builder. The TPM does not involve any modifications to the previously approved
project, as the TPM is only to subdivide the existing parcel. Any future development or
modifications to the previous approvals would require a separate application and review
processes and may be subject to its own public hearing(s) at Planning Commission and/or City
Council.
PA 2021-19 (Tentative Parcel Map No. 39493)
Page 3 of 4
Analysis
The analysis below provides a discussion of the proposed project’s consistency with the General
Plan, the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC), and Subdivision Map Act. In addition, the Design
Review Committee, including staff from Planning, Building and Safety, Fire, and Engineering
Departments and the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District, has reviewed the project and have
included recommended conditions of approval to ensure compliance with adopted plans, policies,
and regulations.
General Plan Consistency
The project site has a General Plan Land Use Designation of Limited Industrial (LI) and is located
within the East Lake District neighborhood. The intent of the LI designation is to provide for
industrial parks, warehouses, manufacturing, research and development, public and quasi-public
uses, and similar and compatible uses with a maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.45.
The project proposes to subdivide the existing 6.77-acre site of the Rome Hill Commercial project
into two parcels and one letter lot. The previously approved commercial manufacturing project
was found to be consistent with the General Plan at the November 18, 2025 City Council Meeting.
The subdivision does not include any modifications to the previously approved project and would
not result in an increase to the approved FAR. Therefore, the proposed subdivision is consistent
with the General plan.
Municipal Code Consistency
The project site’s current zoning designation is Commercial Manufacturing (C-M). Pursuant to
LEMC Section 17.132.050 and Section 17.132.060 newly created parcels in the C-M district must
be a minimum of 20,000 square feet in area and must have a minimum of 100 feet of street
frontage. The proposed subdivision complies with both the minimum lot area and street frontage
requirements outlined in the LEMC.
Legal access to both parcels would be provided by public improvements along Grand Avenue
that are to be constructed by the Rome Hill Commercial project and a 40-foot-wide access
easement along the southern edge of the project site, satisfying the access standards found in
LEMC Section 16.12.030 and 16.12.040. These provisions require vehicular access to all lots and
connections to a publicly maintained road. Additionally, TPM No. 39493 conforms to the
requirements of LEMC Chapter 16.24 and the Subdivision Map Act. As such, the proposed
subdivision is consistent with the LEMC.
Environmental Determination
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15162, the
proposed TRM would not have a significant effect on the environment, and no new environmental
documentation is necessary because all potentially significant effects have been adequately
analyzed in an earlier Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH No. 2025090173) which was prepared
for the Rome Hill Commercial Project on November 15, 2025. Approval of the TPM will not change
the density or the intensity of the use; it simply proposes to subdivide the 6.77-acre into two (2)
parcels (2.19 acres and 4.53 acres) with one 0.05-acre letter lot. No substantial changes that
require major revisions to the MND exist and no new information of substantial importance that
PA 2021-19 (Tentative Parcel Map No. 39493)
Page 4 of 4
require revision of the earlier MND exist. Therefore, no further environmental documentation is
necessary at this time.
In addition, the TPM is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section
15315 (Class 15, Minor Land Divisions). Class 15 consists of the division of property in urbanized
areas zoned for residential, commercial, or industrial use into four or fewer parcels when the
division is in conformance with the General Plan and zoning, no variances or exceptions are
required, all services and access to the proposed parcels to local standards are available, the
parcel was not involved in a division of a larger parcel within the previous 2 years, and the parcel
does not have an average slope greater than 20 percent. Tentative Parcel Map No. 39493 is the
subdivision of an existing 6.77-acre parcel into two (2) parcels for future construction of the
previously approved Rome Hill Commercial project. As discussed above, the TPM meets the
requirements for a Class 15 exemption.
MSHCP Consistency
The site comprising the TPM has also been reviewed for consistency with the Western Riverside
County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP). Approximately 4.28 acres of the
project site is located in Criteria Cell 5038, which is in MSHCP Elsinore Area Plan, Subunit 3
(Elsinore). On August 19, 2022, the Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority
(RCA) completed the Joint Project Review (JPR# 22-03-11-01) process and concluded that the
project is consistent with both the Criteria and other plan requirements of the MSHCP.
Public Notice
Notice of the hearing for this application has been published in the Press-Enterprise newspaper
and mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property. As of the writing of this
report, no written comments concerning this application have been received by staff.

1. The Project is a project under the City’s MSHCP Resolution, and the City must make an
MSHCP Consistency finding before approval.
Approximately 4.28 acres of the project site is located within an MSHCP criteria cell. Pursuant
to the City’s MSHCP Resolution, the project has been reviewed for MSHCP consistency,
including consistency with “Other Plan Requirements.” These include the Protection of
Species Associated with Riparian/Riverine Areas and Vernal Pool Guidelines (MSHCP, §
6.1.2), Protection of Narrow Endemic Plant Species Guidelines (MSHCP, § 6.1.3), Additional
Survey Needs and Procedures (MSHCP, § 6.3.2), Urban/Wildlands Interface Guidelines
(MSHCP, § 6.1.4), Vegetation Mapping (MSHCP, § 6.3.1) requirements, Fuels Management
Guidelines (MSHCP, § 6.4), and payment of the MSHCP Local Development Mitigation Fee
(MSHCP Ordinance, § 4).
2. The Project is subject to the City’s LEAP and the Western Riverside County Regional
Conservation Authority’s (RCA) Joint Project Review processes.
Approximately 4.28 acres of the project site is located in Criteria Cell 5038, which is in MSHCP
Elsinore Area Plan, Subunit 3 (Elsinore). Therefore, a formal and complete LEAP application,
LEAP 2022-02 was submitted to the City on January 12, 2022.The JPR application, JPR 22-
03-11-01 was submitted to the Regional Conservation Authority (RCA). The RCA completed
the review on August 19, 2022 and found the proposed development consistent with both the
Criteria and Other Plan Requirements.
3. The Project is consistent with the Riparian/Riverine Areas and Vernal Pools Guidelines.
On November 22, 2021, Hernandez Environmental Services conducted a field survey of the
site to determine whether the project site includes riparian/riverine area or vernal pools.
The project area does not contain any streams or drainages or riparian habitat. The project
site is flat with elevations ranging from 1,272 feet AMSL in the northwest corner to 1,289 feet
AMSL, which is above the 1,265 feet AMSL limit of CDFW jurisdiction around Lake Elsinore.
No defined bed, bank, channel, or obvious shifts in vegetation that would suggest a drainage
feature occur on the site. Furthermore, no vegetation associated with riparian or wetland
habitats was found on the site. Therefore, the project site does not contain habitat that may
be considered riparian/riverine areas as defined in Section 6.1.2 of the Western Riverside
County MSHCP. Due to the lack of suitable riparian habitat on the project site, focused
surveys for riparian/riverine bird species listed in Section 6.1.2 of the MSHCP are not
warranted.
Vernal pools are seasonal depressional wetlands that occur under Mediterranean climate
conditions of the west coast and in glaciated conditions of northeastern and midwestern
states. They are covered by shallow water for variable periods from winter to spring but may
be completely dry most of the summer and fall. Vernal pools are usually associated with hard
clay layers or bedrock, which helps keep water in the pools. Vernal pools and seasonal
depressions usually are dominated by hydrophytic plans, hydric soils, and evidence of
hydrology.
The entire site was evaluated for the presence of habitat capable of supporting branchiopods.
The site was evaluated as described in the USFWS Survey Guidelines for the Listed Large
Branchiopods (May 31, 2016). The project area is primarily comprised of sandy loams. The
onsite soils do not allow for water pooling on the site for any significant length of time after
PC Reso. No. 2026-____

rain events. No vernal pools, swales, or vernal pool mimics such as ditches, borrow pits, cattle
troughs, or cement culverts with signs of pooling water were found on the site. In addition, the
site does not contain areas that showed signs of ponding water, hydrophytic vegetation, or
soils typical of vernal pools that would be suitable for large branchiopods.
The Project is therefore consistent with the Riparian/Riverine Areas and Vernal Pool
Guidelines set forth in Section 6.1.2 of the MSHCP. No further action regarding this section
of the MSHCP is required.
4. The Project is consistent with the Protection of Narrow Endemic Plant Species Guidelines.
Approximately four acres of the project site are located within the Narrow Endemic Plant
Species Survey Area (NEPSSA). The species in this survey area include the following Narrow
Endemic Plant Species: Munz's onion (Allium munzii), San Diego ambrosia (Ambrosia
pumila), Many-stemmed dudleya (Dudleya multicaulis), Spreading navarretia (Navarretia
fossalis), California Orcutt grass (Orcuttia californica), Hammitt's clay-cress (Sibaropsis
hammittii), and Wright's trichocoronis (Trichocoronis wrightii).
On November 22, 2021, Hernandez Environmental Services conducted a field survey of the
site to determine whether the project site contains suitable habitat for narrow endemic plant
species. It was determined that the project site is continually disturbed by the use of motor
vehicles and the storage of large materials. No suitable habitat for the above-listed Narrow
Endemic Plant Species is present on the site.
The proposed project is therefore consistent with the Protection of Narrow Endemic Plant
Species Guidelines.
5. The Project is consistent with the Additional Survey Needs and Procedures.
The MSHCP requires additional surveys for certain species if the project is located in certain
locations. Pursuant to MSHCP Figure 6-2 (Criteria Area Species Survey Area), Figure 6-3
(Amphibian Species Survey Areas with Criteria Area), Figure 6-4 (Burrowing Owl Survey
Areas with Criteria Area), and Figure 6-5 (Mammal Species Survey Areas With Criteria Area),
burrowing owl surveys and surveys for Criteria Area species are required for the subject
property prior to approval of a development proposal.
Criteria Area Species
The species in this survey area include the following Criteria Area Species: San Jacinto Valley
Crownscale (Atriplex coronata var. notatior), Parish's brittlescale (Atriplex parishii), Davidson's
saltscale (Atriplex serenana davidsonii), Thread-leaved brodiaea (Brodiaea filifolia), Round-
leaved filaree (Californica macrophylla), Smooth tarplant (Centromadia pungens ssp. laevis),
Coulter's goldfields (Lasthenia galbrata var. coulteri), little mousetail (Myosurus minimus var.
apus).
Approximately 4.28 acres of the project site are located within the survey area for Criteria Area
Species. The above-listed Criteria Area Species were not observed on the Project site during
the November 22, 2021 field survey. Although a very small amount (0.01 acre) of Traver soils,
which are known to retain moisture, are mapped within the northern portion of the site, this
area consists of a slope containing artificial fill and debris. It was determined that suitable
habitat for these species does not exists on the Project site.
PC Reso. No. 2026-____

Burrowing Owl
A burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia) habitat assessment was conducted by Hernandez
Environmental Services during its November 2021 field survey of the project site. The habitat
assessment conducted for this species found that the project site is continually disturbed by
the use of motor vehicles on site. No suitable habitat is present on the site due to the lack of
small mammal burrows and manmade structures that could be utilized as burrows, such as
earthen berms; cement, asphalt, rock, or wood debris piles; or openings beneath cement or
asphalt pavement. No suitable burrowing owl habitat occurs on site. This species is not
present.
Nevertheless, as a mitigation measure for the proposed project, the City of Lake Elsinore will
require a pre-construction presence/absence survey for burrowing owl to be conducted within
30 days of the commencement of project-related grading or other land disturbance activities
including vegetation clearing, clearing and grubbing, tree removal, or site water, to ensure that
the species has not moved onto the site since completion of the surveys. If burrowing owl
have colonized the property site prior to the initiation of construction, the Project proponent
shall immediately inform the Wildlife Agencies and the RCA, and prepare a Burrowing Owl
Protection and Relocation Plan for approval by RCA and the Wildlife Agencies, prior to
initiating ground disturbance. Additionally, if ground-disturbing activities occur, but the site is
left undisturbed for more than 30 days, a pre-construction survey will again be necessary to
ensure burrowing owl have not colonized the site since it was last disturbed. If burrowing owl
are found, the same coordination described above will be necessary.
Therefore, the subject project is consistent with the Additional Survey Needs and Procedures
of the MSHCP.
6. The Project is consistent with the Urban/Wildlands Interface Guidelines.
Section 6.1.4 addresses potential indirect impacts to the MSHCP Conservation Area via the
Urban Wildland Interface Guidelines. As the Project is urban in nature and is located near the
Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority (RCA) conserved lands, the
Project must comply with all MSHCP Urban/Wildland Interface Guidelines (UWIG) as set forth
in Section 6.1.4 of the MSHCP.
7. The Project is consistent with the Vegetation Mapping requirements.
On November 22, 2021, Hernandez Environmental Services conducted a field survey of the
project site. The field survey identified plant and animal species found on the project site.
The project site contains approximately 0.05 acre of habitat dominated by Tamarisk (Tamarix
sp.). This habitat is located at the northwest corner of the site. The project site contains
approximately 6.71 acres of habitat classified as disturbed. These areas are graded and
predominantly unvegetated. The only vegetation present within these areas includes
scattered ornamental trees including tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima) and gum tree
(Eucalyptus sp.).
This mapping is sufficient under the MSHCP and is consistent with the MSHCP vegetation
mapping requirements.
8. The Project is consistent with the Fuels Management Guidelines.
PC Reso. No. 2026-____

Section 6.4 of the MSHCP requires that new developments adjacent to the MSHCP
Conservation Area or other undeveloped lands incorporate any fuel/brush management zones
and Best Management Practices.
The Project will required to incorporate the BMPs outlined in Volume I, Appendix C of the
MSHCP as part of the development pursuant to regulatory and/or County requirements.
Therefore, the Project is consistent with the Fuels Management Guidelines as set forth in
Section 6.4 of the MSHCP.
9. The Project will be conditioned to pay the City’s MSHCP Local Development Mitigation Fee.
As a condition of approval, the Project will be required to pay the City’s MSHCP Local
Development Mitigation Fee at the time of issuance of building permits.
10. The Project is consistent with the MSHCP.
Approximately 4.28 acres of the project site is located in the southern portion of Criteria Cell
5038, which is in MSHCP Elsinore Area Plan, Subunit 3 (Elsinore). The balance of the project
site is not located within either a criteria cell or Subunit 3. Target conservation in Criteria Cell
5038 will range from 35%-45% of the Cell focusing in the eastern central portion of the Cell.
Conservation within this Cell will focus on grassland habitat. Areas conserved within this Cell
will be connected to grassland habitat proposed for conservation in Cell #5036 to the east.
The project site does not contain the grassland habitat sought for conservation in Criteria Cell
5036. Further, the site is not located within the eastern central portion of Criteria Cell 5038
which would provide a connection to Criteria Cell 5036 to the east. Therefore, conservation of
the project the site would not contribute to the conservation goals of the Criteria Cell due to
the absence of grassland habitat with connectivity to grassland habitat within Criteria Cell
5036 to the east. The proposed project is consistent with the MSHCP.
Section 3: Prior to making a recommendation to the Council, the Commission has
reviewed and analyzed the proposed Project pursuant to the appropriate Planning and Zoning
Laws, the General Plan, and Chapter 16 (Subdivisions) of the LEMC.
Section 4: The Commission finds and determines that the Project is exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res. Code §§21000 et seq.: “CEQA”) and the
CEQA Guidelines (14 C.C.R. §§ 15000 et seq.) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 and
Section 15315 because the proposed project would not have a significant effect on the
environment, and no new environmental documentation is necessary since all potentially
significant effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier Mitigated Negative Declaration
(SCH No. 2025090173) which was prepared for the Rome Hill Commercial project on November
15, 2025. Approval of the TPM will not change the density or the intensity of the use; it simply
proposes to subdivide the 6.77-acre into two (2) parcels (2.19 acres and 4.53 acres) and one
0.05-acre letter lot. No substantial changes that require major revisions to the MND exist
and no new information of substantial importance that require revision of the earlier MND exist.
Therefore, no further environmental documentation is necessary at this time.
Section 5: That in accordance with State Planning and Zoning Law and the LEMC, the
Commission makes the following findings to recommend for approval of TPM No. 39493:

1. The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is
consistent with the General Plan. The proposed subdivision is compatible with the
objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the General Plan
(Government Code Section 66473.5).
The project is located within the General Plan’s Limited Industrial (LI) district. The proposed
project is compatible with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs as
identified in the General plan. The proposed project complies with the minimum standards
of the Commercial Manufacturing (C-M) district for minimum lot size and street frontage
requirements. The proposed project is consistent with the provisions of the LEMC and is
therefore found to be consistent with the General Plan.
2. The site of the proposed subdivision of land is physically suitable for the proposed density
of development in accordance with the General Plan.
The site is an existing undeveloped parcel that is suitable for the proposed Rome Hill
Commercial project since it meets the minimum lot area and access requirements. In
addition, the project was previously analyzed and determined to comply with all applicable
development standards and requirements of the LEMC.
3. The effects that this project are likely to have upon the housing needs of the region, the
public service requirements of its residents and the available fiscal and environmental
resources have been considered and balanced.
The project would create an additional parcel without altering existing entitlements, land use
designations, or environmental conclusions previously adopted under Mitigated Negative
Declaration (SCH No. 2025090173) for the approval of the Rome Hill Commercial project.
The subdivision does not introduce new residential components since the approved
development is for a commercial manufacturing warehouse use.
4. The proposed division of land or type of improvements is not likely to result in any significant
environmental impacts.
The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res. Code
§§21000 et seq.: “CEQA”) and the CEQA Guidelines (14 C.C.R. §§ 15000 et seq.) pursuant
to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 and Section 15315 because the proposed project would
not have a significant effect on the environment, and no new environmental documentation
is necessary because all potentially significant effects have been adequately analyzed in an
earlier Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH No. 2025090173).
5. The design of the proposed division of land or type of improvements is not likely to cause
serious public health problems.
TPM No. 39493 has been designed in a manner consistent with the General Plan and the
Lake Elsinore Municipal Code and does not divide previously established communities. In
addition, the TPM does not involve any type of improvement(s) since its purpose is to create
two new parcels for future construction of the Rome Hill Commercial project.
PC Reso. No. 2026-____

6. The design of the proposed division of land or type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the
proposed division of land.
The project has been reviewed by all applicable City departments, including the Engineering
Department and outside agencies, and it has been determined that TPM No. 39493 will not
conflict with easements for access or use of the property. Legal access to both parcels will
be provided via public improvements and access easements to be constructed by the
previously approved Rome Hill Commercial project, satisfying the access standards set forth
in Lake Elsinore Municipal Code Sections 16.12.030 and 16.12.040.
Section 6: Based upon the evidence presented and the above findings, and the conditions
of approval imposed upon the project, the Commission hereby recommends that the Council
approve TPM No. 39493.
Section 7: This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
Passed and Adopted on this 21st day of April, 2026.

matter may be heard, to consider the following:
Planning Application No. 2021-19 (Rome Hill Commercial – TPM 39493): The proposed
project is a request by Guy Selleck, Gem Investments, LLC, for Tentative Parcel Map (TPM) No.
39493 to subdivide the existing 6.76-acre site of the Rome Hill Commercial project into two parcels
including one (1) 2.19-acre parcel and one (1) 4.52-acre parcel, and one (1) 0.05-acre letter lot.
Access for the parcels would be provided by a new driveway along Grand Avenue. The Rome Hill
Commercial project was previously approved by the City Council on November 18, 2025 which
included Commercial Design Review No. 2022-12 for two 46,000 SF commercial manufacturing
buildings. The proposed TPM involves no changes to the project’s previously approved
entitlements.
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15162, no new
environmental documentation is necessary because all potentially significant effects have been
adequately analyzed in an earlier Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH# 2025090173), which was
adopted for the Rome Hill Commercial Project on November 15, 2025. No substantial changes
that require major revisions to the MND exist, and no new information of substantial importance
that requires revision of the earlier MND exists.
