Elements · 2 Verifier-checked summaries

  • Lake Elsinore's Land Use element calls for a diversity of land use designations—including schools, parks, community centers, residential uses for different socio-economic levels, retail, commercial, employment centers, and industrial/mining operations—to provide services and jobs for residents and accommodations and destination venues for visitors. The element and its maps indicate the general distribution, location, types, and relationships of these land uses. The General Plan Area covers 46,564 total acres, comprising 27,747 acres within existing city limits and 18,818 acres within the City's Sphere of Influence. Much of the City's existing vacant land and open space is governed by adopted specific plans and slated for future development.

  • The 2021-2029 Housing Element's Goal 2 seeks diverse and high-quality housing opportunities to meet the needs of all economic segments of the community. Its policies call for preserving and expanding the City's supply of affordable rental and ownership housing for lower-income households; using incentives and regulatory concessions to promote housing for lower-income persons and special-needs groups such as large families, persons with disabilities, seniors, and persons experiencing homelessness; and actively pursuing federal and State subsidies to assist lower-income and extremely low-income residents. Additional policies discourage converting apartments to condominiums where it would diminish the lower-income housing supply and support local and regional efforts to address homelessness.
