The project site is located at the northwest corner of Graham Avenue and Lowell Street (APN: 374-183-018); and,
Whereas, Section 17.415.070.A of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC) provides that certain uses have operational characteristics that, depending on the location and design of the use, may have the potential to negatively impact adjoining properties, businesses or residents and therefore are permitted subject to the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit, which allows the City to comprehensively review and approve the use; and, Whereas, pursuant to Section 17.415.070 (Conditional Use Permit), Section 17.410.070 (Approving Authority) and Section 17.410.030 (Multiple Applications) of the LEMC, the Planning Commission (Commission) has been delegated with the responsibility of making recommendations to the City Council (Council) pertaining to the review of conditional use permits; and,
Whereas, on April 18, 2023, at a duly noticed Public Hearing, the Commission considered evidence presented by the Community Development Department and other interested parties with respect to this item and adopted a resolution recommending that the Council approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2023-03 in conjunction with Tentative Tract Map No. 38616; and, Whereas, pursuant to Section 17.415.070 (Conditional Use Permit), Section 17.410.070 (Approving Authority) and Section 17.410.030 (Multiple Applications) of the LEMC, the Council has been delegated with the responsibility of making decisions to approve, conditionally approve or disapprove applications for conditional use permits; and, Whereas, on May 9, 2023, at a duly noticed Public Hearing, the Council has considered the recommendation of the Commission as well as evidence presented by the Community Development Department and other interested parties with respect to this item.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: The Council has considered the project and has found it acceptable.
Section 2: The Council hereby finds and determines that the project is categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Publ. Res. Code §§21000 et seq. “CEQA”) and the State CEQA Guidelines (14. Cal. Code Regs §§15000 et seq.) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(k) (Class 1: Existing Facilities) because the project involves CC Reso. No. 2023-____
the subdivision of an existing building into condominium units and no physical changes are proposed.
Section 3: That in accordance with LEMC Section 17.415.070.C. Findings, the Council makes the following findings regarding Conditional Use Permit No. 2023-03:
1. That the proposed use is in accord with the objectives of the General Plan and the purpose of the planning district in which the site is located.
The project site is located in the Historic District and has a General Plan land use designation of Residential Mixed Use (RM). This designation provides for a mix of residential and non-residential uses within a single proposed development area with an emphasis on high-density residential uses. The project site has been previously approved for the construction of a new five-unit apartment complex. The application proposes to divide the approximately 0.34-acre building site into one lot for condominium purposes and to convert the existing apartments into five residential condominium units. Therefore, upon adherence to the conditions of approval imposed on the previous site development permit, the project is consistent with the General Plan.
2. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the general health, safety, comfort or general welfare of persons residing or working within the neighborhood of the proposed use or the City, or injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood or the City.
The proposed use will not be detrimental to the general health, safety, comfort or general welfare of persons residing or working within the neighborhood of the proposed use or the City, or injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood or the City because the proposed residential condominium is compatible with surrounding land uses which consist predominantly of residential and neighborhood-scale office buildings. Furthermore, the proposed condominium use will not result in any infrastructural impacts because the site of the proposed condominium is located in a developed, urban setting with existing approved access to surrounding roadways and availability to connect to utilities including water, sewer and power.
3. The site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, and for all the yards, setbacks, walls or fences, landscaping, buffers and other features required by this title.
The site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use, and for all the yards, setbacks, walls or fences, landscaping, buffers and other features required by the Municipal Code because the proposed on-site multi-family residential development was previously approved and reviewed for conformance with the development standards of the Residential Mixed Use zoning district. Maintenance of common area improvements, such as walls and landscaping, will be the responsibility of a property owner association which must be formed prior to issuance of certificate(s) of occupancy for the project.
4. The site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways with proper design both as to width and type of pavement to carry the type and quantity of traffic generated by the subject use.
The site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways with proper design both as to width and type of pavement to carry the type and quantity of traffic generated by the subject use because the project has been conditioned to construct half width CC Reso. No. 2023-____
improvements and dedicate right-of-way on the alley such that the ultimate right-of-way width conforms to standard alley cross sections. Impacts to traffic levels of service at nearby intersections caused by the development are presumed to be less than significant and do not require additional study or mitigation through improvements.
5. In approving the subject use at the specific location, there will be no adverse effect on abutting properties or the permitted and normal use thereof.
The project has been thoroughly reviewed and conditioned by applicable City departments thereby to avoid adverse effects on abutting properties and the permitted and normal use thereof.
6. Adequate conditions and safeguards pursuant to LEMC 17.415.070.B, 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 this chapter and the planning district in which the site is located.
Pursuant to Section 17.415.070.B of the LEMC, the project was considered by the Planning Commission and City Council at duly noted Public Hearings on April 18, 2023 and May 9, 2023, respectively. Appropriate and applicable conditions of approval have been included to protect the public health, safety and general welfare.
Section 4: Based upon the evidence presented, the above findings, and the conditions of approval imposed upon the project, the Council hereby approves Conditional Use Permit No. 2023-03.
Section 5: This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
Section 6: The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution and enter it into the book of original Resolutions.
Passed and Adopted on this 9th day of May, 2023.

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by: Damaris Abraham, Interim Assistant Community Development Director Date: May 9, 2023
Subject: Planning Application No. 2019-47 (Tentative Parcel Map No. 38614) – a Request to Subdivide an 8.46-acre Site into Four (4) Parcels Ranging in Size From 0.97 Acres to 2.9 Acres, and One (1) 1.6-acre Remainder Parcel Located on the Southeast Corner of Riverside Drive and Collier Ave
Recommendation
1. Find that the proposed project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(A);
2. Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING FINDINGS THAT PLANNING APPLICATION NO. 2019-47 (TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 38614) IS CONSISTENT WITH THE WESTERN RIVERSIDE COUNTY MULTIPLE SPECIES HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN (MSHCP); and
3. Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 38614 TO SUBDIVIDE AN 8.46 ACRE SITE INTO FOUR PARCELS RANGING IN SIZE FROM 0.97 ACRES TO 2.9 ACRES AND ONE 1.6-ACRE REMAINDER PARCEL.
Background
On March 24, 2020, the City Council approved Tentative Parcel Map (TPM) No. 37773 proposing to subdivide the 8.46-acre site into four (4) parcels ranging in size from 0.97 acres to 2.9 acres, and one (1) 1.6-acre remainder parcel. TPM 37773 expired on March 24, 2022.
The applicant has submitted this new Tentative Parcel Map Application, designed in the same configuration as TPM 37773, for review and approval.
Tentative Parcel Map No. 38614
Planning Commission Action
On April 18, 2023, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing to consider Tentative Parcel Map No. 38614 and voted 3-0 to recommend City Council approval of the project.
No public comments were received and only the applicant attended the hearing.
Project Description
Tentative Parcel Map No. 38614 is a subdivision of an 8.46-acre site into four (4) parcels ranging in size from 0.97 acres to 2.9 acres, and one (1) 1.6-acre remainder parcel.
Environmental Setting
EXISTING LAND USE GENERAL PLAN ZONING
Project Site Vacant Limited Industrial (LI) Commercial Manufacturing (C-M) North Recycling/Cemetery Public Institutional (PI) Public Institutional (PI) South Vacant Limited Industrial (LI) Commercial Manufacturing (C-M) and Limited Manufacturing (M-1)
East Vacant Limited Industrial (LI) Commercial Manufacturing (C-M) West Vacant Limited Industrial (LI) Commercial Manufacturing (C-M) Analysis
General Plan Consistency
The Project has a General Plan Land Use designation of Limited Industrial (LI). This designation provides for industrial parks, warehouses, manufacturing, research and development, public and quasi-public uses, and similar and compatible uses. The Zone Change is proposing to change the zoning designation of a small portion of the Project site from Limited Manufacturing (M-1) to Commercial Manufacturing (C-M) to ensure that the subject property has a single zoning designation. The C-M zone is compatible with the LI Land Use Designation. The Tentative Parcel Map is a subdivision of an 8.46-acre site into four (4) parcels and a remainder parcel. The Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with the designated land use, development and design standards, and all other appropriate requirements contained in the General Plan.
Municipal Code Consistency
The current zoning for the subject property is Commercial Manufacturing (C-M). The Tentative Parcel Map is a subdivision of an 8.46-acre site into four (4) parcels and a remainder parcel.
Section 17.132.060 of the Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC) requires the minimum street frontage width of any new lot created in the C-M district to be 100 feet. The proposed tentative map will have a minimum street frontage width of 100 feet. Section 17.132.050 requires the minimum lot area for new lots in the C-M district to be 20,000 square feet net. The minimum lot size for this tentative map is 42,253 sq. ft. (0.97 acres). The Tentative Map also complies with Chapter 16.24 (Tentative Map) of the LEMC and the Subdivision Map Act. The applicant has not Tentative Parcel Map No. 38614
proposed any specific physical development of the subject site. Accordingly, the Project consist of only the corrective action to the zoning designation and the legal division of the existing parcel.
Any future development would be subject to additional City review and approval.
The Design Review Committee that includes staff from Planning, Building and Safety, Fire, and Engineering have reviewed the proposed Project. Appropriate Conditions of Approval have been included.
Environmental Determination
The General Plan is a long-term policy guide for the development of the City but does not propose specific development that can be analyzed at a project-specific level. Therefore, the General Plan EIR is a Program EIR (State Clearinghouse No. 2005121019). A Program EIR provides a more general analysis of the General Plan that focuses on the overall effects of implementation of the General Plan.
Because the General Plan does not contain details of any specific project, the location- specific effects cannot be analyzed without speculation as to the ultimate use that could be proposed on a particular site. The proposed General Plan designations provide the parameters of uses that would be allowed, but a multitude of different business types or residential uses could be developed at varying intensities or densities at any particular location, so the project-level detail is not available to support meaningful environmental evaluation of impacts at specific sites. “Where future development is unspecified and uncertain, no purpose can be served by requiring an EIR to engage in sheer speculation as to future environmental consequences.” (City of Santee v. County of San Diego (1989) 214 Cal.App.3d at p. 1453) Similarly, in order to provide projectlevel quantification of impacts and specificity of mitigation measures, the City would be required to speculate regarding the details of future development on the project site.
Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21083.3 and CEQA Guideline 15183(a), a project that is consistent with the development densities established in a General Plan for which an EIR was certified is not required to undergo additional environmental review “except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site.” As noted above, a Program EIR was certified for the General Plan.
As there is no development currently proposed for the subject site, there are no “project-specific” details or analysis provided in conjunction with this report. Pursuant to the City of Lake Elsinore Municipal Code, Section 17.515.050 Major design review, development plans must be first approved by the Planning Commission prior to the issuance of any permit or the commencement of any construction.
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.
Tentative Parcel Map No. 38614
Fiscal Impact
The time and costs related to processing this tentative map request have been covered by the application fee paid by the applicant. No General Fund budgets have been allocated or used in the processing of this application.

RESOLUTION NO. 2023-__
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING FINDINGS THAT PLANNING APPLICATION NO. 2019- 47 (TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 38614) IS CONSISTENT WITH THE WESTERN
RIVERSIDE COUNTY MULTIPLE SPECIES HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN (MSHCP)
Whereas, Ron Kassab, Lake Elsinore Plaza 2 Corporation, has filed an application with the City of Lake Elsinore (City) requesting approval of Tentative Parcel Map No. 38614 to subdivide an 8.46-acre site into four (4) parcels ranging in size from 0.97 acres to 2.9 acres, and one (1) 1.6-acre remainder parcel. The Project is located at the southeasterly corner of Riverside Drive and Collier Avenue (APN: 377-120-065); and,
Whereas, Section 6.0 of the Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) requires that all discretionary projects within a MSHCP Criteria Cell undergo the Lake Elsinore Acquisition Process (LEAP) and the Joint Project Review (JPR) to analyze the scope of the proposed development and establish a building envelope that is consistent with the MSHCP criteria; and,
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; and, Whereas, pursuant to Lake Elsinore Municipal Code (LEMC) Chapter 16.24 (Tentative Map) the Planning Commission (Commission) has been delegated with the responsibility of making recommendations to the City Council (Council) pertaining to tentative maps; and, Whereas, on April 18, 2023, at a duly noticed Public Hearing the Commission has considered evidence presented by the Community Development Department and other interested parties with respect to this item and by a resolution recommended that the Council adopt Findings of Consistency with the MSHCP; and,
Whereas, on May 9, 2023, at a duly noticed Public Hearing, the Council has considered the recommendation of the Commission as well as evidence presented by the Community Development Department and other interested parties with respect to this item.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are hereby incorporated into these findings by this reference.
Section 2: The Council has considered the Project and the recommendation of the Commission as well as evidence presented by the Community Development Department and other interested parties with respect to this item.
Section 3: That in accordance with the MSHCP, the Council makes the following findings for MSHCP consistency:
1. The Project is a project under the City’s MSHCP Resolution, and the City must make an CC Reso. No. 2023-____
MSHCP Consistency finding before approval.
Pursuant to the City’s MSHCP Resolution, the Project is required to be reviewed for MSHCP consistency, including consistency with other “Plan Wide Requirements.” The Project site is not located within a MSHCP Criteria Cell. Based upon the site reconnaissance survey there are no issues regarding consistency with the MSHCP’s other “Plan Wide Requirements.” The only requirements potentially applicable to the Project were the Protection of Species Associated with Riparian/Riverine Areas and Vernal Pool Guidelines (Section 6.1.2 of the MSHCP) and payment of the MSHCP Local Development Mitigation Fee (Section 4 of the MSHCP Ordinance).
2. The Project is subject to the City’s LEAP and the Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority’s (RCA) Joint Project Review processes.
As stated above, the Project is not located within a Criteria Cell and therefore the Project was not processed through the City’s LEAP and the RCA’s Joint Project Review process.
3. The Project is consistent with the Riparian/Riverine Areas and Vernal Pools Guidelines.
The site reconnaissance survey revealed that no riparian, riverine, vernal pool/fairy shrimp habitat or other aquatic resources exist on the site. As such, the Riparian/Riverine Areas and Vernal Pool Guidelines as set forth in Section 6.1.2 of the MSHCP are not applicable.
4. The Project is consistent with the Protection of Narrow Endemic Plant Species Guidelines.
The site does not fall within any Narrow Endemic Plant Species Survey Areas. Neither a habitat assessment nor further focused surveys are required for the Project. Therefore, Protection of Narrow Endemic Plant Species Guidelines as set forth in Section 6.1.3 of the MSHCP are not applicable to the Project.
5. The Project is consistent with the Additional Survey Needs and Procedures.
The MSHCP only requires additional surveys for certain species if the Project is located in Criteria Area Species Survey Areas, Amphibian Species Survey Areas, Burrowing Owl Survey Areas, and Mammal Species Survey Areas of the MSHCP. The Project site is not located within any of the Critical Species Survey Areas. Therefore, the provisions of MSCHP Section
6.3.2 are not applicable.
6. The Project is consistent with the Urban/Wildlands Interface Guidelines.
The Project site is not within or adjacent to any MSHCP criteria or conservation areas.
Therefore, the Urban/Wildlands Interface Guidelines of MSHCP Section 6.1.4 are not applicable.
7. The Project is consistent with the Vegetation Mapping requirements.
There are no resources located on the Project site requiring mapping as set forth in MSCHP Section 6.3.1.
8. The Project is consistent with the Fuels Management Guidelines.
CC Reso. No. 2023-____
The Project site is not within or adjacent to any MSHCP criteria or conservation areas.
Therefore, the Fuels Management Guidelines of MSHCP Section 6.4 are not applicable.
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.
Section 4: Based upon the evidence presented, both written and testimonial, and the above findings, the Council hereby finds that the Project is consistent with the MSHCP.
Section 5: This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
Section 6: The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution and enter it into the book of original Resolutions.
Passed and Adopted on this 9th day of May, 2023.

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 Project has a General Plan Land Use designation of Limited Industrial (LI). The Tentative Parcel Map is a subdivision of an 8.46-acre site into four (4) parcels and a remainder parcel for the purpose of Financing and Conveyance only. The Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with the designated land use, development and design standards, and all other appropriate requirements contained in the General Plan and the Subdivision Map Act. Any future development for this area is required to conform to all standards set forth in the applicable Specific Plan as well as the General Plan.
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 has a General Plan Land Use designation of Limited Industrial (LI). The Tentative Parcel Map is a subdivision of an 8.46-acre site into four (4) parcels and a remainder parcel.
The Project will not have a direct impact on housing.
4. The design of the proposed division of land or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems.
The Tentative Parcel Map has been adequately conditioned by all applicable departments and agencies and will not result in any significant environmental impacts. The proposed subdivision, together with the conditions applicable thereto, will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
Section 4: That in accordance with the City of Lake Elsinore’s General Plan Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2005121019) (EIR), Public Resources Code section 21083.3, and CEQA Guidelines section 15183; the Council makes the following findings regarding the approval of Tentative Parcel Map No. 38614:
1. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Plan and an EIR was certified for the General Plan. The General Plan EIR adopted by the City of Lake Elsinore on December 13, 2011 (per Resolution No. 2011-070) analyzed potential environmental impacts.
2. There are no environmental impacts peculiar to the subject property that were not analyzed in General Plan EIR. The subject site does not contain any features that would create environmental impacts that would be peculiar to the subject site beyond what was originally analyzed and evaluated in the General Plan and EIR.
3. There are no significant environmental impacts, including off-site impacts or cumulative impacts, that were not previously analyzed in General Plan EIR. That EIR analyzed the environmental impacts associated with the conversion of vacant or underutilized land to commercial uses. This division of land, without any additional development approval, does not present any potential environmental impacts that were not analyzed in the EIR. Moreover, there is insufficient information to conduct project-level review at this time and any attempt to CC Reso. No. 2023-____
provide project-level review would be speculative. Accordingly, the General Plan EIR analysis provides adequate program level of analysis of potential impacts.
4. No substantial new information that was not known at the time General Plan EIR was certified has been discovered indicating that a significant impact identified in that EIR would be more severe than previously determined. No information has been presented to, or discovered by, the City that indicates the environmental impacts associated with increased commercial development will be more severe than analyzed in the General Plan EIR.
5. That the decision regarding the environmental analysis and discussion above reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the City.
Section 5: Based upon all of the evidence presented, the above findings, and the conditions of approval imposed upon the Project, the Council hereby approves Tentative Parcel Map No. 38614.
Section 6: This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
Section 7: The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution and enter it into the book of original Resolutions.
Passed and Adopted on this 9th day of May, 2023.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of Lake Elsinore, California, will hold a Public Hearing on May 9, 2023, at the Lake Elsinore Cultural Center, 183 North Main Street, Lake Elsinore, California, 92530, at 7:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, to consider the following item:
Planning Application No. 2019-47 (Tentative Parcel Map No. 38614): A request by Ron Kassab, Lake Elsinore Plaza 2 Corporation, to subdivide the 8.46-acre site into four (4) parcels ranging in size from 0.97 acres to 2.9 acres, and one (1) 1.6-acre remainder parcel. The Project is located at the southeasterly corner of Riverside Drive and Collier Avenue. (APN: 377-120-065) Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21083.3 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(a), a project that is consistent with the development densities established in a General Plan for which an EIR was certified is not required to undergo additional environmental review “except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site.” A Program EIR (State Clearinghouse No. 2005121019) was certified for the General Plan. As there is no development currently proposed for the subject site, there are no “project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site” to analyze at this time. Therefore, no additional environmental review is required per Public Resource Code Section 21083.3 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: On April 18, 2023, at a duly noticed Public Hearing, the Lake Elsinore Planning Commission by 3-0 vote recommended that the City Council approve the proposed project.
ALL INTERESTED PERSONS are invited to submit written information, express opinions or otherwise submit written evidence by email to [email protected].
If you wish to legally challenge any action taken by the City on the above matter, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else at the Public Hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the City prior to or at the Public Hearing.
