NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE
ELSINORE DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The Biological Survey Report prepared by Pacific Southwest
Biological Services, Inc. has been prepared, submitted and reviewed in accordance with
requirements of the Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP). The report is
complete and adequate in it's evaluation of all environmental effects of the project known
as "Alesco Sky Park Business Park" project and will not preclude the implementation of
the MSHCP goals.
SECTION 2. The City Council has considered Industrial Design Review No.
2004-08. The City Council finds and determines that the project known as Alesco Sky
Park Business Park is consistent with all of the required procedures, policies, guidelines
and provisions of the MSHCP based on the following findings:
1. The proposed project is a project under the City's MSHCP Resolution that
must make an MSHCP Consistency finding before approval.
Pursuant to the City's MSHCP Resolution, because the proposed project
requires a number of discretionary approvals from the City and is subject
to CEQA review, it must be reviewed for MSHCP consistency, which
entails for the proposed project determining whether it is subject to the
City's LEAP process and whether it is consistent with; 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, ,¢
6.3.2), 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 proposed project is subject to the Joint Project Review process.
Although, according to the Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan
(MSHCP), the footprint of the project site is located within the Elsinore
Area Plan, an agreement with the County of Riverside (dated February 4,
2004) regarding the "back basin" excluded the project site from any
required conservation areas and is therefore not subject to the City's Lake
Elsinore's Acquisition Process (LEAP) process.
3. The proposed project is consistent with the Riparian/Riverine Areas and
Vernal Pools Guidelines.
No Riparian, riverine, vernal pool/fairy shrimp habitat and other aquatic
resources were identified on the proposed project site. As a result, no
further MSHCP analysis or conservation measures are required. The
proposed project is therefore consistent with the Riparian/Riverine Areas
and Vernal Pools Guidelines.
4. The proposed project is consistent with the Protection of Narrow Endemic
Plant Species Guidelines.
According to the Biological Assessment entitled "Corydon Street-Skypark
Narrow Endemic Plant and Species and Burrowing Owl Habitat
Assessment" prepared by Pacific Southwest Biological Services, Inc. on
February 28, 2005, Narrow Endemic Species do not occur on site. The
proposed project is therefore consistent with the Protection of Narrow
Endemic Plant Species Guidelines.
5. The proposed project is consistent with the Additional Survey Needs and
Procedures.
CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION N0.2005-108

The project site falls within the Burrowing Owl Survey Area. However,
according to the "Corydon Street-Skypark Narrow Endemic Plant and
Species and Burrowing Owl Habitat Assessment" prepared by Pacific
Southwest Biological Services, Inc. on February 28, 2005, habitat for the
Burrowing Owl does not occur on site. The project is therefore consistent
with the Additional Survey Needs Requirements.
6. The proposed project is consistent with the Urban/Wildlands Interface
Guidelines.
The proposed project is not contiguous to any proposed MSHCP
Conservation Area. The proposed project is therefore consistent with the
Urban/Wildlands Interface Guidelines.
7. The proposed project is consistent with the Vegetation Mapping
requirements.
The vegetation of the entire project site has been mapped. This mapping is
sufficient under the MSHCP and is consistent with the MSHCP.
8. The proposed project is consistent with the Fuels Management Guidelines.
The proposed project is not adjacent to the proposed MSHCP Conservation
Area. Accordingly, the proposed project is therefore consistent with the
Fuels Management Guidelines.
9. The proposed 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 proposed project overall is consistent with the MSHCP.
The proposed project footprint complies does not preclude the
implementation, procedures, policies, and guidelines of the City's MSHCP
Resolution and the MSHCP.
