PAGE20F4
The Project complies with the goals and objectives of General Plan
designation Medium High Density and the Medium High Density (MHD)
zoning designation within Planning Area 6 of the "Historic Elsinore"
Overlay Zoning district. The General Plan designation of Medium High
Density is intended for multiple family attached units and is located in some
areas where service is not immediately available, yet may be extended
without causing substantial over-extension of facilities. The maximum
density permitted shall be 18 dwelling-units to the acre.
The Medium High Density (MHD) zoning designation within Planning Area
6 of the "Historic Elsinore" Overlay Zoning district consists of single-family
detached and attached units, including duplexes, triplexes, townhouses, and
zero lot line (patio) homes. The approval of the Project will assist in
achieving the development of a well balanced and functional mix of
residential, limited commercial, limited industrial, open space, recreational
and institutional land uses by providing additional affordable housing
within Planning Area 6 of the "Historic Elsinore" Overlay Zoning district
and the City of Lake Elsinore. Furthermore, the Project will contribute to
the development and maintenance of a broad range of housing types for all
income groups and age categories.
The Project incorporates elements of "Craftsman" style architecture and
will provide a well rounded design while maintaining the desirable rural
characteristics and base framework to achieve quality and compatibility in
the physical design of the developing portions of the City and to enhance the
existing developed areas within General Plan designation Medium High
Density and zoning designation Medium High Density (MHD) within
Planning Area 6 of the "Historic Elsinore" Overlay Zoning district.
2. The Project complies with the design directives contained in Section
17.82.060 and all other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code.
The Project is appropriate to the site and surrounding developments in that
the Project design incorporates a twenty- foot (20') front-yard setback, a
fifteen- foot (15') rear-yard setback, sufficient front-yard landscaping, and
safe and sufficient on-site vehicular circulation. Further, the Project will
complement the quality of existing projects in that the applicant is providing
elements of "Craftsman" style architecture which includes: stone base
furring, decorative front-entries with elephantine columns and overhead
dormers, "shiplap" siding, window surrounds, coach lights, and a concrete
tile roof The color palate selected for the Project includes: Omega stucco

Roofing Products in a "Roanoke Blend. "
3. Subject to the attached conditions of approval, the Project is not anticipated
to result in any significant adverse environmental impacts.
The Class 3 CEQA exemption may be invoked when the development
proposal involves construction of a multi-family residential structure
totaling up to six dwelling units, if the project is located in an urbanized
area. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines 15303(b), the Project is exempt from
environmental review because it involves the construction of three (3)
attached two-story dwelling units in a residential zone.
4. Conditions and safeguards pursuant to Chapter 17.82.070 of the Zoning
Code, including guarantees and evidence of compliance with conditions,
have been incorporated into the approval of the Project to ensure
development of the property in accordance with the objectives of Chapter
17.82.

consideration and action of the Planning Commission on November 7, 2006.
The Project has also been conditioned to comply with the LEMC. For
example, condition of approval Number 8 states: "All site improvements
shall be constructed as indicated on the approved site plan and elevations,
with revisions as noted herein. The Applicant shall meet all required
setbacks and development standards pursuant to the Medium High Density

RESOLUTION NO. 2006-
RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A
MINOR DESIGN REVIEW FOR TWO (2) SINGLE-FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL UNITS
WHEREAS, Hector ZubietalZenos Inc. filed an application with the City of
Lake Elsinore requesting approval of Minor Design Review for two (2) single-
family residences on three (3) separate vacant lots located approximately 200 feet
south of the intersection of Kalina Avenue and McPherson Avenue in the area
known as Country Club Heights of the City of Lake Elsinore and legally
identifiable as APN's 378-204-020, -021, and 378-204-031, respectively (the
"Project"); and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Lake Elsinore has
been delegated with the responsibility of considering, approving, conditionally
approving, or denying Minor Design Review requests for residential projects; and
WHEREAS, notice of the Project has been given and the Planning
Commission has considered evidence presented by the Community Development
Department and other interested parties with respect to this item on November 7,
2006.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE,
AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The Planning Commission has considered the Project and
finds that it is consistent with R-1 Single-Family Residential standards and
citywide parking requirements as set forth in the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code
("LEMC").
SECTION 2. The Planning Commission finds and determines that the
Project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(Cal. Pub. Res. Code ~~ 21000 et seq.: "CEQA") and the CEQA Guidelines (14
C.C.R. ~S 15000 et seq.) pursuant to a class 3(a) exemption for new construction
or conversion of small structures because the Project involves construction of up to
three single-family residences. (See 14 C.C.R. S 15303(a)).
SECTION 3. That in accordance with LEMC Chapter 17.82, the Planning
Commission makes the following findings for the approval of the Project:
ACENOA ITEM rJo. ~
PAGE 'ry -OF '?;~'''"~''
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2006-
PAGE20F3
1. The Project will comply with the goals and objectives of the General Plan and
the Zoning District in which the Project is located.
The Project complies with the goals and objectives of the General Plan, in that
the approval of the two (2) single-family residences will assist in achieving a
development of a well-balanced and functional mix of residential, commercial,
industrial, open space, recreational and institutional land uses as well as
encouraging the development and maintenance of a broad range of housing
types for all income groups and age categories.
2. The Project complies with the design directives contained in Section 17.82.060
and all other applicable provisions of the LEMC.
The Project, which incorporates Bungalow style architecture, is appropriate in
size and design to each lot. Each single family unit meets all setback
requirements, provides front yard landscaping, and complies with the
Architectural Design Standards for Bungalow style development. Features of
the Bungalow style include: low pitched roofs, covered porch, porch columns,
decorative gable end treatments, stone/brick veneer, casement window frames,
paned glass windows, multiple roof planes, decorative wood braces, and
exposed rafter tails. The architectural design, color and materials proposed for
use on the two single family residences are distinct yet they blend in with the
features of surrounding homes and complement the quality of existing
development thereby creating a visually pleasing neighborhood.
3. Subject to the conditions of approval imposed upon the Project, the Project is
not anticipated to result in any significant adverse environmental impacts.
A Class 3 CEQA exemption may be invoked when the development proposal
involves construction of a duplex or similar multi-family residential
structure totaling no more than four dwelling units. Pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines 15303(b), the Project is exempt from environmental review
because it involves the construction of a duplex which does not exceed the
maximum allowable number of units. Even though the Project is exempt
from CEQA, it has been reviewed by all City divisions and departments with
regard to potential environmental impacts. Based on the attached
conditions of approval, the Project will not have a significant impact on the
environment.

REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION
NOVEMBER 7, 2006
PROJECT TITLE: MINOR DESIGN REVIEW OF A SINGLE-FAMILY
RESIDENCE LOCATED ON ALLIS STREET
(APN: 378-302-008)
ANALYSIS
Staff has reviewed the project and found that with the attached conditions of approval,
the project meets all minimum requirements of Chapter 17.82 (Design Review
District), Chapter 17.14 (Residential Development Standards), Chapter 17.23 (R-l,
Single-Family Residential District), and Chapter 17.66 (Parking Requirements) ofthe
Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC) including but not limited to; density, setbacks,
landscaping, parking, and lot coverage.
Siting
The total building footprint, which includes the dwelling unit, a two (2) car garage,
and front-entry porch will occupy approximately forty-one percent (41 %) of the net lot
coverage and is consistent with the R-l (Single-Family Residential) development lot
coverage requirements; which permits a maximum net lot coverage of fifty percent
(50%). In addition, the site plan will meet all applicable development standards and
criteria outlined in the R-l (Single-Family Residential) Zoning district and the
Residential Developments Standards outlined in the LEMC.
Architecture and Colors and Materials
The Mediterranean architecture style selected for the proposed single-story single-
family dwelling unit located on Allis Street, is consistent with style and design of
existing single-family residences located within the vicinity. Furthermore, the proposed
colors and materials to be incorporated on the single-family dwelling unit are
consistent with the objectives and intent of the City of Lake Elsinore's design

RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A
MINOR DESIGN REVIEW FOR A ONE STORY SINGLE-
FAMILY DWELLING UNIT LOCATED ON ALLIS STREET
(APN: 378-302-008).
WHEREAS, Jeff Jones/J.A. Jones Dev. Group filed an application with the
City of Lake Elsinore requesting approval of a Minor Design Review for a one
story single-family residence on property located on Allis Street (APN: 378-302-
008: the "Project"); and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Lake Elsinore has
been delegated with the responsibility of considering, approving, conditionally
approving, or denying Minor Design Review requests for residential projects; and
WHEREAS, notice of the Project has been given and the Planning
Commission has considered evidence presented by the Community Development
Department and other interested parties with respect to this item on November 7,
2006.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE,
AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The Planning Commission has considered the Project and
finds that it is consistent with R-l Single-Family Residential standards and
citywide parking requirements as set forth in the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code
("LEMC").
SECTION 2. The Planning Commission finds and determines that the
Project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(Cal. Pub. Res. Code gg 21000 et seq.: "CEQA") and the CEQA Guidelines (14
C.C.R. ~~ 15000 et seq.) pursuant to a class 3(a) exemption for new construction
or conversion of small structures because the Project involves construction of one
single-family residence. (See 14 C.C.R. g 15303(a)).
SECTION 3. That in accordance with Chapter 17.82 (Design Review) of
the LEMC, the Planning Commission makes the following findings for the
approval of the Project:
1. The project will comply with the goals and objectives of the intended
General Plan and the Zoning District in which the Project will be located. 3
AGENDA ITEM NO.
. PAc;E -Z OF ~ 5
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2006-
PAGE20F4
The Project complies with the goals and objectives of General Plan
designation Medium Density (MD) as well as R-l (Single-Family
Residential) zoning district. The General Plan designation of Medium
Density (MD) is intended for quality single-family homes in areas of
generally level topography with available public services and infrastructure
and has been located in areas where services are not immediately available
but can be extended without causing substantial over-extension of facilities.
The R-l (Single-Family Residential) zoning district is intended to
accommodate low density projects comprised of quality single-family
residences developed in an urban environment with available public services
and infrastructure. Approval of the Project will assist in achieving the
development of a well balanced and functional mix of residential, limited
commercial, limited industrial, open space, recreational and institutional
land uses by providing additional affordable housing within R-l (Single-
Family Residential) zoning district and the City of Lake Elsinore. The
Project contributes to the development and maintenance of a broad range of
housing types for all income groups and age categories.
The Project, which incorporates elements of "Mediterranean" style
architecture, will provide a well-rounded design while maintaining the
desirable rural characteristics and base framework to achieve quality and
compatibility in the physical design of the developing portions of the City,
and to enhance the existing developed areas within General Plan
designation Medium Density (MD) and R-l (Single-Family Residential)
zoning designation.
2. The Project complies with the design directives contained in Section
17.82.060 and all other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code.
The Project is appropriate to the site and surrounding developments in that
the single family dwelling unit integrates a twenty foot (20') front yard and
rear yard setback, sufficient front yard landscaping and safe and sufficient
on-site vehicular circulation. Further, use of the Mediterranean style
architecture in the Project complements the quality of existing development
and will create a visually pleasing, non-detractive relationship with existing
projects in the area.
3. Subject to the attached conditions of approval, the Project is not anticipated
to result in any significant adverse environmental impacts.
A Class 3 CEQA exemption may be invoked when the development proposal
involves construction of one single family residential structure. Pursuant ~
AGENDA ITEM NO. .:j
PAGE it OF ~5
PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2006-
PAGE30F4
CEQA Guidelines 15303 (a), the Project is exempt from environmental
review because it involves the construction of one single family residential
structure. Even though the Project is exempt from CEQA, it has been
reviewed by all City divisions and departments with regard to potential
environmental impacts. Based on the attached conditions of approval, the
Project will not have a significant impact on the environment.
4. Conditions and safeguards pursuant to Chapter 17.82.070 of the Zoning
Code, 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 Chapter
17.82.
Pursuant to LEMC Section 17.82.070, the Project has been scheduled for
consideration and approval of the Planning Commission. The applicant
shall meet all required setbacks and development standards pursuant to
LEMC Section 17.23 (R-1 Single-Family Residential District). Any revisions
to the Minor Design Review shall be processed in a similar manner as the
original Minor Design Review. All plans submitted for building division
plan check shall conform to the submitted plans as modified by the
Conditions of Approval.
SECTION 3. This Resolution shall take effect from and after the date of its
passage and adoption.

ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT NO.
2006-02; A REQUEST TO AMEND PORTIONS OF
THE LAKE ELSINORE MUNICIPAL CODE
RELATED TO 1) THE MODIFICATION OF THE
MINIMUM ON-SITE LANDSCAPE COVERAGE
PERCENTAGE REQUIREMENTS WITHIN
COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL ZONES, AND 2)
MODIFYING THE SIZE AND AMOUNT OF
REQUIRED TREES IN RATIO TO THE NUMBER OF
PARKING SPACES WITHIN PARKING AREAS AS
OUTLINED IN CHAPTER 17.66 (PARKING
REQUIREMENTS)
CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, 130 SOUTH MAIN
STREET, LAKE ELSINORE, CA 92530
This report is intended to present information to the Planning Commission in order to
make a recommendation to the City Council of a zoning ordinance text amendment.
The proposed amendment would 1) increase the required minimum on-site landscaping
percentages for all commercial and industrial zones and 2) increase the amount and
size of required trees in ratio to the number of parking spaces within parking areas as
outlined in Chapter 17.66 (Parking Requirements).
As part of Text Amendment 2006-02, updated landscaping requirements for
commercial and industrial zones will be addressed. At present, implementation of
landscaping that surpasses the minimum required by the LEMC is achieved through,

but not limited to, unwritten policy, conditions of approval, or case-by-case
negotiations during the application process. Recommending approval to the City
Council regarding the adoption of modified landscape standards will assist in achieving
the following:
· Improved aesthetics by ensuring that all future development meets reasonable
landscaping requirements that are consistent with surrounding communities in
Riverside County.
· Improve landscaping consistency among development sites.
· Improve customer service through documented standards that allow developers
to plan and budget for landscaping early on.
· Provide guidance to landscape architects as they prepare plans and to staff as
they review submitted plans.
BACKGROUND
Text Amendment Number 2006-02 is intended to modify current landscaping
requirements within commercial and industrial districts as well as adding additional
code requirements concerning landscaping requirements pertaining to mixed-use
developments and new requirements for the submittal oflandscape maintenance plans
for development is also proposed. In reviewing past and current submitted applications,
staff has some concern regarding commercial and industrial developments, which meet
current minimum code requirements, but still do not provide adequate on-site
landscaping as well as necessary quantities and sizes of shade trees within parking
areas.
Current LEMC requirements for the two (2) separate items related to this proposed text
amendments are as follows:
Minimum On-Site Landscape Coverage Requirements for Commercial and Industrial
Zones
LEMC Section(s) l7.40.080(c), l7.44.070(c), l7.48.080(c), and l7.52.090(c) mandate
that all building sites shall have a minimum landscape coverage equivalent to ten
percent (10%) of the total lot area within the C-2 (Commercial Office District), C-l
(Neighborhood Commercial District), C-2 (General Commercial District), and the C-P
AGENDA ITEM Y

(Commercial Park District). In addition, LEMC Section(s) 17.54.090(c), 17.56.l00(c),
and 17.60.100(c) mandate that all building sites shall have a minimum landscaped
coverage equivalent to eight percent (8%) of the total lot area.
Required Trees in Ratio to the Number of Parking Svaces within Parking Areas
LEMC Section 17.66.100(h) mandates that at least one (1) fifteen (15) gallon tree shall
be provided within the parking area for every ten (10) parking spaces.
ANALYSIS
For ease of discussion, each specific text amendment item (minimum on-site
landscaping percentages for all commercial and industrial zones and the amount of
required trees for parking areas) will be discussed separately.
1. Minimum on-site landscape coveraf!e requirements for commercial and industrial
zones.
On-Site landscaping
It is generally recognized that commercial and industrial developments with sufficient
landscaping provide many positive attributes to the areas, such as:
. Enhancing property aesthetic and resale value.
· Beautifying streetscapes and public rights-of-way.
· Preserving a sense of place through the potential enhancement of commercial
and industrial district's appearance from public streets and between
incompatible uses.
· Improving air quality through the preservation of mature vegetation that remove
carbon monoxide and filter dust and particulates from the air.
· Assisting in climate modification and reducing energy costs through the use of
adequate landscaping to shade buildings, streets, sidewalks, and other outdoor
areas.
. Stabilizing soils by minimizing soil erosion.
In an effort to maximize usable square-footage of the site, current development

occasionally implements higher percentages of required on-site landscaping as outlined
in the LEMC for commercial and industrial projects. Staff believes that an increase in
the minimum on-site landscape requirements is necessary to achieve a well balanced
community that incorporates structures as well as adequate landscaping.
Minimum On-site Landscaping Percentage Requirements in Other Cities
Communities employ an array of percentages for the requirement of on-site
landscaping requirements for commercial and industrial districts. The following matrix
reflects the minimum on-site landscaping requirements for various communities
throughout the County of Riverside.
Temecula

The percentages listed represent an average of
the various commercial and industrial districts.
It should be noted that no commercial or
industrial zoning district was below twenty-
ercent 20% .
The percentages listed represent an average of
all the various commercial and industrial
districts and does not include any commercial
and industrial specific plan landscape
re uirements.
No comment
The City of Moreno Valley does not have a
minimum landscape percentage requirement.
The City requires all setbacks exclusive of
required walkways and driveways will be
landsca ed lantin areas.
The City of Hemet does not have a minimum
landscape percentage requirement. The City
re uires that all setbacks be landsca ed.
The percentages listed represent an average of
all different commercial and industrial
districts. It should be noted that the
percentages differ whether it the lot in
uestion is a comer or interior lot.

REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION
NOVEMBER 7,2006
PROJECT TITLE: TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 2006-02
More than half of all cities surveyed have a minimum percentage of the site devoted to
landscaping. It should be noted however, that like Lake Elsinore, some of the cities
listed above have specific plan areas and zone overlays incorporated into their zoning
and General Plan Maps, where provisions for more or less than minimum on-site
landscape percentage requirements could theoretically be found.
Lake Elsinore currently requires minimum on-site landscape percentage requirements
often-percent (10%) for all commercial districts and eight-percent (8%) for industrial
districts. This percentage is on the lower end of the spectrum when compared to the
other cities surveyed. Of the communities requiring minimum on-site landscaping
requirements, only the City of Perris was at or below the current on-site landscaping
requirements for commercial and industrial districts within the City of Lake Elsinore.
It should be noted that the table above lists the average of on-site landscape percentage
requirements for all the different commercial and industrial districts within the
surveyed cities. Staffs analysis ofthe numbers provided was achieved by adding up all
the requirements within each district and calculating an overall average for the
commercial and industrial districts. In addition, staff concluded that some cities require
varying amounts oflandscaping for different parcel locations. For example, the City of
Ontario requires a lower percentage of on-site landscaping for interior lots and a higher
percentage for comer lots.
Minimum On-site Landscaping Percentage Requirements Conclusion
As shown, communities have taken a variety of approaches in their use of on-site
landscaping for commercial and industrial zoning districts. Whereas other cities have
elected to allow varying amounts of on-site landscaping, all provide this critical
element as a means of enhancing property values and beautifying streetscapes, as well
as buffering commercial and industrial districts from public spaces and other uses. The
benefits and disadvantages of on-site landscaping are summarized below:
Benefits
. Enhanced property values and resale value.
. Beautifies streetscapes and public right-of-ways
. Improves air-quality and reduces energy consumption.

PROJECT TITLE: TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 2006-02
· Stabilizes soils by minimizing soil erosion
Disadvantages
· Reduces buildable footprint area for projects.
· Requires additional maintenance by the property owner or management
company.
As demonstrated by the above lists, staff believes that the benefits of increasing the
minimum amount for on-site landscaping outweigh the disadvantages
As reflected in the proposed "Draft" ordinance (Attachment 2), it is staffs
recommendation that the minimum on-site landscaping requirements be increased from
ten-percent (10%) to twenty-percent (20%) in all commercial zoning districts.
Additionally, staff recommends that the on-site landscaping requirements be increased
from eight-percent (8%) to twenty-percent (20%) in all industrial zoning districts.
Although additional landscaping above and beyond what is currently required in the
LEMC can be achieved through conditions of approval, staff believes that this places a
hardship on the applicant due to fact that he/she has not planned for this in the initial
conception of the development. Staff believes that by increasing the minimum on-site
landscaping requirements within the LEMC, will allow future developers to plan
ahead.
2. Increase in the amount and size of required trees in ratio to the number of parking
spaces within parking areas as outlined in Chapter 17.66 (Parking Requirements).
Currently, section l7.66.l00(h) of the LEMC requires that at least one (1) fifteen (15)
gallon tree be provided within the parking area for every ten (10) parking spaces. For
many projects this provides a minimal amount of trees in terms of size and ultimate
canopy size, especially in relation to proposed buildings and parking area.
Furthermore, due to the amount of development in this region over the past decade,
plants being sold at various nurseries have a very short growing season in order to meet
demand. Therefore, the size of the trees being delivered to project sites currently seem
to be getting smaller and smaller even though the tree size indicates fifteen (15) gallon
or thirty-six inch (36") box. For comparison purposes, the size and amount of trees in
parking areas for nearby Inland Empire communities are listed in the following matrix.

trees in relation to the parking space calculation.
As reflected in the proposed "Draft" Ordinance (Attachment 2), it is staffs
recommendation that the required ratio for the size and amount of trees within a
parking area be increased from one (I) fifteen (15) gallon tree for every ten (10)
parking spaces to one (I) twenty-four inch (24") box tree for every five (5) parking
spaces.
SUMMARY
To summarize, the proposed landscape-related changes to the commercial and
industrial zoning districts as well as the parking ordinance are as follows:
· Increase the amount of on-site landscape coverage from ten-percent (10%) to
twenty-percent (20%) in all commercial districts.
· Increase the amount of on-site landscape coverage from eight-percent (8%) to
twenty-percent (20%) in all industrial districts.
· Increase the required ratio of one (I) fifteen (IS) gallon tree for every ten (10)
parking spaces to one (I) twenty-four inch (24") box tree for every five (5)
parking spaces.
The proposed code changes and additional text are reflected in the attached "Draft
Ordinance Revisions" (Attachment 2).
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Initial Study was
completed to analyze the potential environmental impacts of the proposed project. The
Initial Study concluded that the proposed project would have no significant
environmental impacts. A Negative Declaration has accordingly been prepared and
released for review. The review period commenced on October 13,2006 and ends on
November 2, 2006.

FISCAL IMP ACT
The proposed zone text amendment would make minor changes to existing on-site
landscape requirements within all commercial and industrial districts as well as to the
amount and size requirements of trees in relation to the amount of parking spaces
within parking areas. The changes would not change the overall scope or complexity
ofthe standards and as such would not require any additional staff time or resources to
administer. There would be minimal fiscal impact to the City resulting from
administration or enforcement of the proposed ordinance.

Introduction
This Initial Study has been prepared in accordance with relevant provIsIOns of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as amended, and the CEQA Guidelines. Section 15063(c)
of the CEQA Guidelines indicates that the purposes of an Initial Study are to:
1. Provide the Lead Agency (i.e., the City of Lake Elsinore) with information to use as the basis for
deciding whether to prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) or Negative Declaration;
2. Enable an applicant or Lead Agency to modify a project, mitigating adverse impacts before an EIR
is prepared, thereby enabling the project to quality for a Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative
Declaration ;
3. Assist the preparation of an EIR, if one is required, by:
· Focusing the EIR on the effects determined to be significant;
· Identifying the effects determined not to be significant;
. Explaining the reasons why potentially significant effects would not be significant;
and
. Identifying whether a program EIR, tiering, or another appropriate process can be
used for analysis of the project's environmental effects;
4. Facilitate environmental assessment early in the design of a project;
5. Provide documentation of the factual basis for the findings in a Negative Declaration or Mitigated
Negative Declaration that a project will not have a significant effect on the environment;
6. Eliminate unnecessary EIRs; and
7. Determine whether a previously prepared EIR could be used with the project.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED
The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one
impact that is a "Potentially Significant Impact" or as indicated by the checklist on the following pages.
o Aesthetics 0 Agricultural Resources 0 Air Quality
o Biological Resources 0 Cultural Resources 0 Geology/Soils
o Hazards & Hazardous Materials 0 Hydrology/Water Quality 0 Land UselPlanning
o Mineral Resources 0 Noise 0 Population/Housing
o Public Services 0 Recreation 0 Transportation/Traffic
o Utilities/Service Systems 0 Mandatory Findings of Significance
DETERMINATION: (To be completed by the Lead Agency)
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
~ I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect On the environment and a
NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
D I find that although the project could have a significant effect On the environment there will not be a
significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made or agreed to by the
project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
o I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMP ACT REPORT is required.
o I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially
significant unless mitigated" impact On the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been
adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been
addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that
remain to be addressed.
o I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because
all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or
NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or
mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or
mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT EVALUATION CHECKLIST
1. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the
impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault
rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors
as well as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a
project-specific screening analysis).
2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site,
cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational
impacts.
3. Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist
answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation,
or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence
that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when
the determination is made, an EIR is required.
4. "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the
incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a
"Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly
explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from "Earlier
Analyses," cited in support of conclusions reached in other sections may be cross-referenced).
5. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an
effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section l5063(c)(3)(D).
In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following:
a. Earlier Analysis Used-Identify and state where they are available for review.
b. Impacts Adequately Addressed-Identify which effects from the above checklist were
within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable
legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based
on the earlier analysis.
c. Mitigation Measures-For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures
Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from
the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the
project.
6. Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for
potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside
document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is
substantiated.
7. Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals
contacted should be cited in the discussion.
8. The explanation of each issue should identity: a) The significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to
evaluate each question; and b) The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less
than significance. / '.
