CITY, RELATING TO THE GENERAL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
PROCESS

SECTION 1. FINDINGS
The City Council finds as follows:
A. The City of Menifee was incorporated on October 1, 2008, and, as required by
state law, adopted the Riverside County General Plan, including its implementing regulations
and policies, and the City had continued its use of the Riverside County General Plan pending
adopting of its own General Plan as well as use of Riverside County Land Use Ordinance No.
348, which contains a number of provisions derived from the General Plan.
B. The County of Riverside adopted its current General Plan, the Riverside County
Integrated Project (RCIP), in 2004.
C. The RCIP includes Land Use Designations for each property within the
unincorporated portions of Riverside County as well as four (4) Foundation Components that
limit the types of land use designations within the component areas.
D. The purpose of the Foundation Components was to protect the certainty of the
General Plan by limiting the number of times land could change designations, thus providing
some "certainty" that the land use designations would remain.
E. A property owner must utilize the General Plan Implementation Process or GPIP
in order to initiate a change in a Foundation Component.
F. The GPIP is a multi-step advisory process with a cost of at least $10,000
resulting in Board of Supervisors' permission (or not) to file an application for a General Plan
amendment.
G. City Staff has determined that the rescission by the City of the GPIP process will
result in a faster, more streamlined, cost-effective and fairer General Plan amendment process
as set out in Ordinance No. 348.
H. This ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061 (b) (3) of the
CEQA Guidelines.
I. This ordinance was adopted on an interim basis while staff reviewed the change
in process and, based upon support from applicants and improved processing efficiency, now
should be made a permanent change to Ordinance No. 348;
J. This ordinance has been considered by the Planning Commission and at a duly
noticed public hearing at which the City Council heard all testimony, pro and con.
