FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF
WHEREAS, Tentative Tract Map No. 37922, Conditional Use Permit No. 2019-19, and Commercial Design Review No. 2019-27 were approved by the City Council of the City of Lake Elsinore on January 25, 2022 for an initial two year term; and WHEREAS, Valeria Salampessy, Empire Design Group, submitted a timely request for an extension of time for Tentative Tract Map No. 37922, Conditional Use Permit No. 2019-19, and Commercial Design Review No. 2019-27 on November 3, 2023; and
WHEREAS, on March 12, 2024, at a duly noticed public hearing, the City Council considered the recommendation of City staff 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 City Council has reviewed and analyzed the proposed extension of time request for Tentative Tract Map No. 37922, Conditional Use Permit No. 2019-19, and Commercial Design Review No. 2019-27 and all of the evidence presented prior to making its decision on the application to extend the time for Tentative Tract Map No. 37922, Conditional Use Permit No. 2019-19, and Commercial Design Review No. 2019-
27. SECTION 2. The City Council makes the following findings in support of the denial of an extension of time for Tentative Tract Map No. 37922, Conditional Use Permit No. 2019-19, and Commercial Design Review No. 2019-27:
1. The site design with two driveways on Lake Street creates a potentially dangerous condition due to downhill grade of Lake Street for southbound traffic which results in the general increase in the speed of vehicle as such vehicles approach the project site and also negatively impacts the sight distance available to such southbound vehicle along with vehicles exiting the project site via the driveways; and
2. Following a commitment by the project applicant at the January 25, 2022 public hearing to continue community outreach and update the City and the public on the status of the project, the project applicant nonetheless failed to conduct such CC Reso. No. 2024-
outreach, leaving both the City and the public unaware of the project status for nearly two years.
SECTION 3. Based upon the evidence presented, both written and testimonial, and the above findings, the City Council hereby affirms its denial of the request for an extension of time for Tentative Tract Map No. 37922, Conditional Use Permit No. 2019- 19, and Commercial Design Review No. 2019-27.
SECTION 4. This Resolution shall take effect from and after the date of its passage and adoption.
Passed and Adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Lake Elsinore, California, this __ day of __________ 2024.
