which hearing was publicly noticed on December 1, 2017 by a publication in a newspaper
of general circulation (i.e., The Press Enterprise), an agenda posting, and to persons
requesting public notice; and
WHEREAS, at the December 13, 2017 public hearing, based upon the materials in
the staff report and accompanying documents, the City of Menifee Planning Commission
recommended that the City Council approve General Plan Amendment No. 2017-172; and,
WHEREAS, on January 17, 2018, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing
on the Project, considered all public testimony as well as all materials in the staff report and
accompanying documents for General Plan Amendment No. 2017-172, which hearing was
publicly noticed on January 3, 2018 by a publication in a newspaper of general circulation
(i.e., The Press Enterprise), an agenda posting, and to persons requesting public notice;
and
WHEREAS, at the January 17, 2018 City Council public hearing, based on the
materials in the staff report, accompanying documents and the recommendation of the
Planning Commission, the Council introduced the ordinance for first reading and scheduled
the second reading and adoption of the ordinance for February 7, 2018.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Menifee resolves as follows:
Section 1. The above recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein.
Section 2. With regard to General Plan Amendment No. 2017-172, the City Council hereby
General Plan Amendment No. 2017-172
February 7, 2018
makes the following findings:
1. The proposed change does not involve a change in or conflict with the City's Vision
or Community Values as stated in the City of Menifee General Plan.
The proposed General Plan Amendment would add policies to the Land Use
Element and add implementation actions and exhibits to the background documents
of the general plan to be consistent with the most recently adopted Airport Land Use
Compatibility Plans (March Air Reserve Base and Perris Valley Airport). The
proposed General Plan Amendment does not include any changes to the land use
designations or existing land use plan.
The changes are required to comply with State Law. Government Code (Gov.
Code) Section 65302.3 (a) states that a county's or city's general plan, as well as
any applicable specific plans, "shall be consistent" with an Airport Land Use
Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) and that every affected county or city must amend its
general and specific plans as necessary to keep them consistent with the ALUCP.
The Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) reviews the general plan (and applicable
specific plans) and makes a consistency determination (PUC Section 21676(a)).
The policies being added to the General Plan do not impact density or intensity of
land uses as the properties in the influence areas are not subject to restrictions on
the densities and/or intensities of land use. Therefore, there are no direct conflicts
between the General Plan land use plan and the airport compatibility plans.
Therefore, the proposed General Plan Amendment would not conflict with the City's
vision for high quality development, amenities, and public services and as a
community that is a safe place to live, work and visit, as described in the General
Plan.
The proposed General Plan Amendment is consistent with the City' Community
Values, specifically:
• We recognize that, while growth is inevitable, we will accommodate it in a
responsible and strategic manner.
By including policies regarding conformance with the Airport Land Use Compatibility
Plans, the City is promoting responsible development that is consistent with State
law and takes into account the airports and flight paths of those airports located
within and near the City of Menifee.
2. The proposed amendment would either contribute to the purposes of the General
Plan or, at a minimum, would not be detrimental to them.
The proposed General Plan Amendment would provide greater consistency with the
following General Plan policies:
N-1.20 Adhere to any applicable Riverside County Airport Land use
Commission land use compatibility criteria, including density,
intensity, and coverage standards.
General Plan Amendment No. 2017-172
February 7, 2018
S-6.3 Work with the Riverside County Airport Land Use Commission to
strengthen the City's disaster preparedness, response, and
recovery program in accordance with the Airport Land use Plans
for March Air Reserve Based and Perris Valley Airport.
The proposed General Plan Amendment to add policies to the General Plan and
implementation items and exhibits to the General Plan background documents
strengthens and adds to the existing policies to ensure the City is complying with
the Airport Compatibility Plans. Therefore, the proposed amendment contributes to
the purposes of the General Plan.
3. The proposed amendment would not create an internal inconsistency amongst the
elements and/or policies of the General Plan.
Staff has compared the proposed General Plan Amendment to the existing General
Plan and determined that the proposed General Plan Amendment would not create
an internal inconsistency with the existing goals, objectives and policies of the
General Plan which are not being amended. As noted above in finding #2, the
proposed General Plan Amendment further clarifies and adds policies to ensure
consistency with existing policies and state law in regards to land use planning in
airport compatibility zones. The additional policies do not result in changes to the
land use plan or the land use designations.
4. A change in policy is required to conform to changes in state or federal law or
applicable findings of a court of law.
Government Code (Gov. Code) Section 65302.3 (a) states that a county's or city's
general plan, as well as any applicable specific plans, "shall be consistent" with an
Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) and that every affected county or city
must amend its general and specific plans as necessary to keep them consistent
with the ALUCP. The Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) reviews the General
Plan (and applicable specific plans) and makes a consistency determination (PUC
Section 21676(a)).
When the City's General Plan was adopted in 2013, it was found to be consistent
with the ALUCP, however additional revisions were recommended. In addition,
since the adoption of the General Plan in 2013, the March Air Reserve Base
Compatibility plan was updated, so the City's General Plan is being updated to
conform to the most recent Airport Compatibility Plans affecting the City.
5. Compliance with CEQA. The proposed amendment is not subject to review under
CEQA.
The proposed General Plan Amendment is not subject to review under the California
Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). The adoption of the proposed amendment
does not fall within the definition of a"project" under CEQA because it, as a narrative
change to the General Plan for compliance with Airport Land Use Compatibility
Plans and State Law, does not have the potential for resulting in a direct or indirect
physical change in the environment (CEQA Guidelines 15378(a)) and is an
General Plan Amendment No. 2017-172
February 7, 2018
administrative activity of the City that will not result in direct or indirect physical
changes in the environment(CEQA Guidelines 15378(b)(5)). Accordingly, the City's
proposed amendment is not a "project" that is subject to CEQA. In addition, even if
the adoption of the proposed amendment was a "project" subject to CEQA, it is
exempt from CEQA because there is no possibility that the proposed amendment,
as a textural change to the General Plan, may have a significant impact on the
physical environment (CEQA Guidelines 15061) and because, per Section
15061(b)(3), it can be seen with certainty to have no possibility of a significant effect
upon the environment.
Section 3. The Menifee General Plan is hereby amended by revising the official General
Plan to add the policies as shown in Exhibit A.
Section 4. Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase,
or portion of this Ordinance is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the
decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of
the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would
have adopted this Ordinance, and each section, subsection subdivision,'sentence, clause,
phrase, or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections,
subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions thereof be declared
invalid or unconstitutional.
Section 5. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect and be in full force and operation
thirty (30) days after its adoption.
Section 6. Notice of Adoption. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of
this Ordinance, and shall cause the same to be published within fifteen (15) days after
passage in accordance with law, and shall cause this Ordinance and its certification,
together with proof of publication, to be entered in the Book of Ordinances of the City of
Menifee.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this the 7th day of February, 2018.

Exhibit A
-MENIFEE.
Ilk
y LAND USE ELEMENT
HOMEPAGE
OVERVIEW
Menifee has historically been viewed as a collection of distinct communities with very different
characteristics and needs. Communities range from rural to suburban, agrarian to industrial, and
established senior residential enclaves to newer planned communities catering to families and a younger
population. Menifee's biggest challenge is to find the common threads that will create a cohesive
community while maintaining the features that make each neighborhood unique.
Vision 2035 and Land Use Approach
At the outset of the General Plan process, the community and the City Council developed a vision for
Menifee as the foundation for the land use plan. The core objective of the vision is to establish a fiscally
sustainable balance of land uses and continually seek new and innovative ways to enhance the City's
quality of life. The Vision 2035 specifically called for:
• A mix of land uses that promote ethnic and socioeconomic diversity, functionality, and
sustainability of the City
• Preservation of established neighborhoods and rural communities essential to the community's
distinctive character
• High quality development, amenities, and public services as a stipulation of future growth
• An array of housing choices for a variety of life stages and lifestyles
• A vibrant downtown area that serves as the primary gathering space for the community
• Continual investment and reinvestment in the community that makes Menifee a soughtoafter
and safe place to live, work, and visit in the Inland Empire
Using the Riverside County Integrated Plan (RCIP) General Plan Land Use map and associated goals and
policies as a starting point, the City worked with the public, General Plan Advisory Committee, and elected
and appointed officials to make refinements to the land use plan and General Plan goals and policies that
are intended to implement Menifee's Vision 2035. The process acknowledged that there were fundamental
components of the county's general plan that should be carried forward into the City's inaugural General
Plan effort, including preservation of established communities (Sun City, Romoland, Quail Valley) and
preservation of the rural residential lifestyle that is characteristic of Menifee.
LAND USE ELEMENT GOALS AND POLICIES(PAGE 1 OF 8)
Community Structure
At the most basic level, the City of Menifee comprises a series of established residential communities and
nonresidential uses predominantly consisting of neighborhood centers and industrial uses along Ethanac,
Newport, McCall, and Scott Roads. Exhibit LU-1, Menifee Community Structure, illustrates at the most
fundamental level the natural clustering and distribution of residential land uses proposed within the City,
open space areas, and commercial and industrial areas that will be home to jobs centers throughout the
City. The general pattern of land uses shows that the concentration of nonresidential land uses is along
the 1-215 corridor. These areas slowly transition to rural and residential land uses adjacent to the City
boundaries. The residential land uses are generally clustered into four village areas, primarily delineated
by Salt Creek and 1-215. Areas north of Salt Creek are predominantly developed as traditional or master
planned single-family neighborhoods, and the areas south of Garbani Road (east and west of 1-215) tend
to be more rural in nature. The general land use patterns were used to further refine the locations and types
of land uses in the General Plan. The General Plan Land Use Map can be seen in Exhibit LU-2; Exhibit
LU-3, Land Use Designations, provides the explanation of each use illustrated on the land use map.
PURPOSE OF ELEMENT
Section 65302 of the State of California Government Code identifies seven mandatory elements in a
general plan, including land use. According to the California Office of Planning and Research (OPR), the
purpose of the land use element is to designate the proposed general distribution and general location and
extent of uses of the land in the City. The land use element focuses on preserving established land uses
and accommodating the future growth and physical development of the community.
Section 65302 (a) defines the types of issues that need to be identified and addressed The distribution of
housing, business, industry, recreational facilities, and open space (including agricultural land) and the
location of educational facilities and public buildings are addressed in Menifee's Land Use Element. In
addition, the Land Use Element addresses infrastructure and utilities issues associated with existing and
future development.
The Land Use Element generally establishes the density, intensity, and location of land uses throughout
the City and is complemented by the additional policy guidance provided in other elements that relate to a
specific topic. For example, the Community Design Element provides additional policy and design
guidance for such things as the preservation of the City's rural character (through design, materials, etc.),
viewsheds and view corridors, gateway and landmark features, landscape corridors, and other topics that
further enhance the fundamental land uses in this element. The Housing Element is also closely tied to the
Land Use Element because the Land Use Element identifies the locations and diversity of housing types
available in the City that can be used to achieve housing mandates specified by the State Office of Housing
and Community Development (HCD). The Open Space and Conservation Element provides guidance for
the recreational amenities associated with conservation and recreational uses identified in the Land Use
LAND USE ELEMENT GOALS AND POLICIES(PAGE 2 OF 8)
Element and identifies policies to preserve the City's rock features, natural landforms, and ridgelines that
are important features for the City of Menifee.
LAND USE MAP, DESIGNATIONS,AND BUILDOUT SUMMARY
The Land Use Map, Exhibit LU-2, shows where residential, commercial, office, mixed use, industrial,
public/quasi-public facilities, and open space uses are expected. It also illustrates the location of properties
with approved specific plans.
Land use designations provide descriptions of proposed land uses and define the type, density, and
intensity of development within the City. Land use designations distinguish between levels of intensity and
allowable uses and include categories reflecting existing land uses as well as projected development.
Exhibit LU-3, Land Use Designations, provides definitions for and describes each one of the land use
designations illustrated on the land use map.
Each one of the residential designations includes a maximum and/or a range of allowable densities. The
maximum density signifies the maximum number of dwelling units per gross acre that are allowed in each
residential area. The lower number signifies a minimum amount of development that is anticipated
(provided required conditions can be met), and the upper end represents a potential maximum that can be
achieved if a proposed development includes features to achieve a high quality project. Building intensities
for nonresidential uses are measured by floor area ratio (FAR), which guides the amount of square footage
and building coverage that can be accommodated on a site. Additional information about densities and
FAR can be found in the Land Use Background Document.
One of the Land Use Element's primary objectives is to establish the maximum buildout potential for
housing units, nonresidential building square footage, population, and employment that could be generated
by the Land Use Plan. These projections are identified in Exhibit LU-4, Land Use Buildout Summary.
SPHERE OF INFLUENCE
Land use planning does not necessarily stop at a city's boundaries. A city's sphere of influence (SOI)
addresses unincorporated lands adjacent to city boundaries that are defined by the Riverside County Local
Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) as areas likely to be serviced or annexed by the city sometime in
the future. Cities do not have regulatory control over these lands, but they do have the authority to
designate their preferences for land use planning in the county areas if the properties are annexed to the
city sometime in the future. Since the City of Menifee is a newly incorporated City, its SOI boundary is
contiguous with the City boundary.
Overtime, the City of Menifee may wish to consider annexation of adjacent unincorporated areas or engage
in discussions with LAFCO, and that could lead to a future revision of the City's current SOI boundaries. It
should be noted that no annexations of the unincorporated county areas adjacent to the City or
LAND USE ELEMENT GOALS AND POLICIES(PAGE 3 OF 8)
amendments to the SOI boundaries are proposed as part of this General Plan. Applications to amend the
City's existing SOI will require appropriate California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review and a
General Plan Amendment to update the Land Use Plan.

GOALS AND POLICIES
GENERAL LAND USE
Goal LU-1: Land uses and building types that result in a community where residents at all stages
of life, employers, workers, and visitors have a diversity of options of where they can
live, work, shop, and recreate within Menifee.
Policies
LU-1.1 Concentrate growth in strategic locations to help preserve rural areas, create place and
identity, provide infrastructure efficiently, and foster the use of transit options.
LU-1.2 Provide a spectrum of housing types and price ranges that match the jobs in the City and
make it possible for people to live and work in Menifee and maintain a high quality of life.
LAND USE ELEMENT GOALS AND POLICIES(PAGE 4 OF 8)
LU-1.3 Develop senior housing in neighborhoods that are accessible to public transit, commercial
services, and health and community facilities.
LU-1.4 Preserve, protect, and enhance established rural, estate, and residential neighborhoods
by providing sensitive and well-designed transitions (building design, landscape, etc.)
between these neighborhoods and adjoining areas.
LU-1.5 Support development and land use patterns, where appropriate, that reduce reliance on
the automobile and capitalize on multimodal transportation opportunities.
LU-1.6 Coordinate land use, infrastructure, and transportation planning and analysis with regional,
county, and other local agencies to further regional and subregional goals for jobs-housing
balance.
LU-1.7 Ensure neighborhood amenities and public facilities (natural open space areas, parks,
libraries, schools, trails, etc.) are distributed equitably throughout the City.
LU-1.8 Ensure new development is carefully designed to avoid or incorporate natural features,
including washes, creeks, and hillsides.
LU-1.9 Allow for flexible development standards provided that the potential benefits and merit of
projects can be balanced with potential impacts.
LU-1.10 Buffer sensitive land uses, such as residences, schools, care facilities, and recreation
areas from major air pollutant emission sources, including freeways, manufacturing,
hazardous materials storage, and similar uses.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORRIDORS
Freeways are prominent public spaces that exert significant and lasting impacts on the neighborhoods,
cities, and regions they traverse. Interstate 215 bisects the City of Menifee and is a primary transportation
corridor for City residents and businesses. The City has identified the properties next to 1-215 as Economic
Development Corridors that provide important opportunities to stimulate new economic development
opportunities and provide a positive visual image of Menifee. These areas are a "window" into the
community and can reflect the economic success and vitality of the City. The properties were identified as
areas that could accommodate new growth desired by the City, which would also help to ensure that the
rural and residential nature of Menifee's existing neighborhoods can be preserved.
Because the EDC designation spans approximately 2,600 acres distributed throughout the City, it is
important that each area develop a distinct identity from the others. To prevent nondescript, disjointed
development of EDC areas, additional guidance has been provided in the Land Use Background Document
LAND USE ELEMENT GOALS AND POLICIES(PAGE 5 OF 8)
& Definitions and Exhibit LU-b2a, Economic Development Corridor Subareas, to illustrate the preferred mix
of uses envisioned for each area.
Goal LU-2: Thriving Economic Development Corridors that accommodate a mix of
nonresidential and residential uses that generate activity and economic vitality in the
City.
Policies
LU-2.1 Promote infill development that complements existing neighborhoods and surrounding
areas. Infill development and future growth in Menifee is strongly encouraged to locate
within EDC areas to preserve the rural character of rural, estate, and small estate
residential uses.
LU-2.2 Encourage vertical and horizontal integration of uses where feasible on properties in EDCs.
LU-2.3 Identify opportunities to link the City's educational and medical facilities, such as Mount
San Jacinto College and the Regional Medical Center, to complementary uses in EDCs.
LU-2.4 Actively support development of cultural, education, and entertainment facilities in EDCs
and utilize these venues to generate a unique identity for the City in Southwest Riverside
County.
UTILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE
Future land use patterns and rates of development will affect the demand on infrastructure for Menifee's
utilities. As the population increases, it is important to ensure that demand for these services does not
exceed the supply and that the expansion of infrastructure is sufficiently addressed to accommodate future
needs. This is especially critical in areas such as Quail Valley and Romoland, which are experiencing
ongoing infrastructure challenges that affect livability for residents and limit the ability to accommodate new
development
Goal LU-3: A full range of public utilities and related services that provide for the immediate and
long-term needs of the community.
Policies
LU-3.1 Work with utility providers in the planning, designing, and siting of distribution and support
facilities to comply with the standards of the General Plan and Development Code.
LU-3.2 Work with utility provides to increase service capacity as demand increases.
LU-3.3 Coordinate public infrastructure improvements through the City's Capital Improvement
Program.
LAND USE ELEMENT GOALS AND POLICIES(PAGE 6 OF 8)
LU-3.4 Require that approval of new development be contingent upon the project's ability to secure
appropriate infrastructure services.
LU-3.5 Facilitate the shared use of right-of-way, transmission corridors, and other appropriate
measures to minimize the visual impact of utilities infrastructure throughout Menifee.
AIRPORT INFLUENCE AREAS
As adopted by the Riverside County ALUC, the Riverside County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan
(ALUCP) establishes policies applicable to land use compatibility planning in the vicinity of airports
throughout Riverside County. Portions of the City of Menifee are in the airport influence areas of the March
Air Reserve Base and the Perris Valley Airport governed by the Riverside County Airport Land Use
Commission. The basic function of airport land use compatibility plans is to promote compatibility between
airports and the land uses that surround them. The ALUCP also establishes procedural requirements for
compatibility review of development proposals. The basic function of airport land use compatibility plans is
to promote compatibility between airports and the land uses that surround them. Compatibility plans serve
as a tool for airport land use commissions in reviewing proposed development plans for airports and
surrounding land uses. Additionally, compatibility plans establish criteria for local agencies to use when
preparing or amending land use plans and ordinances and for landowners (including special district and
other local government entities as well as private parties)to use when designing new development projects.
State law requires each local agency having jurisdiction over land uses within an ALUC's planning area to
modify its general plan and any affected specific plans to be consistent with the compatibility plan, or to
overrule the ALUC by a two-thirds vote of its governing body after making findings that the agency's plans
are consistent with the intent of State airport land use planning statutes. Exhibit LU-5a-c identifies the March
Air Reserve and Perris Valley Airport Land Use Compatibility Zones, as adopted by the Airport Land Use
Commission.
GOAL LU-4: Ensure development is consistent with the Riverside County Airport Land Use Compatibility
Plan.
Policies
LU-4.1 Ensure that land use decisions within the March Air Reserve Base and Perris Valley Airport
areas of influence are consistent with applicable Airport Land Use Compatibility Plans.
Comply with State law regarding projects subject to review by the Riverside County Airport
Land Use Commission.
LU-4.2 Ensure that development proposals within the March Air Reserve Base and Perris Valley
Airport areas of influence fully comply with the permit procedures specified in Federal and
State law, with the referral requirements of the Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC), and
LAND USE ELEMENT GOALS AND POLICIES(PAGE 7 OF 8)
with the conditions of approval imposed or recommended by the Federal Aviation
Administration and ALUC, such as land use compatibility criteria, including density,
intensity, and coverage standards. This requirement is in addition to all other City
development review requirements.
