Riverside County Fire Assistant Fire Marshal (vacant). Currently the
office is conducting inspections, planning cases and plan reviews by a
Fire Safety Specialist and 1 inspector from the Riverside County OFM
office.
Several plan reviews included fire clearance for major projects
including the Lennar at Town Center development, several new phases
at Audie Murphy Ranch, KB Homes, and Richmond American. Kirkorian
Theaters, Artesa Apartment complex and Club house, Commerce Point
II (Channell), Menifee Estates are all currently in the process of reviews
and approvals.
New Business such as Fire House Subs, Boot Barn, Waba Grill, and
Jamba Juice are all close to being finale. Newly Open businesses include
Dunkin Donuts, Wolfe Donuts and Braces by Garcia. Inspection for the
Menifee Lake Plaza for businesses such as Tuesday Morning, Barons,
Blaze Pizza, Schools First Credit Union and Green Leaf Tea continue to
be work in progress.
Plan reviews and inspections are still being conducted for the “New City
Hall” and diligently working with the property owners, contractors and
city officials for a much anticipated move and Beautiful City Hall.
With the growing number of tract files, permit files and documentation
related to development the office has outgrown the allotted space for
files and plans. The OFM office is working on purging files, scanning
documents and finding storage space for the anticipated New City Hall
move. The City of Menifee currently has a temp office assistant working

in the office helping with scheduling inspections, filing, answering
phone and numerous fire duties. This has impacted the OFM and
Building and Safety Division who share the same office space for files,
office space document retention.
In between inspections, plan reviews, document retention, scheduling,
billing, as well as required reports, Menifee staff has a full workload as
do other divisions in this growing community.
The Fire Marshal services provided locally continue to receive positive
comments on service delivery and assistance to the public and business
community from customers, City staff and the Development
community.
