Whereas, on September 8, 2009, based upon the materials at the public hearing
the City of Menifee Planning Commission made the following findings for Plot Plan No.
19469 Revised Permit No. 1:
1. The proposed senior apartment complex is a permitted use in the Community
Development: High Density Residential (CD: HDR) (8-14 dwelling units per acre)
designation.
2. The project site is located within the Highway 79 Policy Area which establishes
guidelines to ensure that overall trip generation from residential development within
the policy area produce traffic generation at a level that is 9% less than the trips
projected from the General Plan traffic model residential land use designations. The
County Transportation Department reviewed the proposed project and determined
that the project is consistent with the Highway 79 Policy Area. The proposed project
is anticipated to generate fewer than 100 trips in either the AM or PM peak hours.
3. The project site is surrounded by properties which are designated Community
Development: Very High Density Residential (CD: VHDR) (14-20 dwelling units per
acre) to the north, Rural: Rural Mountainous (R: RM) (10 Acre Minimum) to the
south, and Community Development: Medium Density Residential (CD: MDR) (2-5
dwelling units) to the east and beyond Interstate 215 to the west.
4. The zoning for the subject site is Multiple Family Dwellings (R-2).
5. The proposed senior apartment complex is a permitted use, subject to approval of a
plot plan in the Multiple Family Dwellings (R-2) zone.
6. The proposed senior apartment complex is consistent with the development
standards set forth in the Multiple Family Dwellings (R-2) zone.
7. The project site is surrounded by properties which are zoned Multiple -Family
Dwellings (R-2) to the north, Residential Agricultural — 10 acre minimum (R-A-10) to
the south, One -Family Dwellings (R-1) to the east and beyond Interstate 215 to the
west, and Scenic Highway Commercial (C-P-S) to the northwest.
8. Multiple family residential units have been constructed and are operating in the
project vicinity.
9. This project is not located within a Criteria Area of the Multi -Species Habitat
Conservation Plan.
10. Environmental Assessment No. 41975 was prepared for the proposed project.
Environmental Assessment No. 41975 determined that the proposed project could
not have a significant effect on the environment and a Negative Declaration was
prepared.

Every Department
General Conditions
The use hereby permitted is for the first revised permit for Plot Plan No. 19469
which was originally approved in April of 2006 for a senior apartment complex
consisting of 31 apartment buildings (25 one-story buildings and 6 two-story
buildings) with 148 dwelling units, a club house with swimming pool, putting
green, pitching tee and shuffle board area and 305 parking spaces. The revised
permit is proposing to reduce the number of apartment buildings to 26 and
increase the density of the buildings by allowing for 154 one -bedroom units and
67 two -bedroom units for a total of 221 units. Buildings 11-13 and 20-23 are
proposed for "12-Plex" buildings and will be two -stories in height (previously
approved for one-story). Buildings 24-26 are proposed for "15 Plex" Buildings
and will be three -stories in height (previously approved for one-story). The project
now proposes 381 parking spaces (210 garage spaces, 54 covered spaces, and
117 non -covered spaces). The project site is currently being graded per
PP19469 approval.
Any approval for use of or development on this property that was made pursuant
to PP19469 shall become null and void upon final approval of PP19469R1 by the
City of Menifee.
In the event the use hereby permitted under this permit, a) is found to be in
violation of the terms and conditions of this permit, b) is found to have been
obtained by fraud or perjured testimony, or c) is found to be detrimental to the
public health, safety or general welfare, or is a public nuisance, this permit shall
be subject to the revocation procedures.
In the event the use hereby permitted ceases operation for a period of one (1)
year or more, this approval shall become null and void.
This approval shall be used within two (2) years of approval date; otherwise, it
shall become null and void and of no effect whatsoever. By use is meant the
beginning of substantial construction contemplated by this approval within a two
(2) year period which is thereafter diligently pursued to completion or of the actual
occupancy of existing buildings or land under the terms of the authorized use.
Prior to the expiration of the two year period, the permittee may request a one (1)
year extension of time request in which to use this plot plan. A maximum of three
one-year extension of time requests shall be permitted. Should the time period
established by any of the extension of time requests lapse, or should all three
one-year extensions be obtained and no substantial construction or use of this
plot plan be initiated within five (5) years of the effective date of the issuance of
this plot plan, this plot plan shall become null and void.
If the use changes from apartments to condominiums, approval for revisions
under conversion procedures will be required.
The project is restricted to senior housing, which is considered persons aged fifty-
five (55) years or older. A revised permit will be required to remove the senior
housing restriction.

5. The City of Menifee is a new City incorporated on October 1, 2008; the City is
studying and adopting its own ordinances, regulations, procedures, processing
and development impact fee structure. In the future the City of Menifee will
identify and put in place various processing fees to cover the reasonable cost of
the services provided. The City also will identify and fund mitigation measures
under CEQA through development impact fees. Such fees may include but are
not limited to processing fees for the costs of providing planning services when
development entitlement applications are submitted, which fees are designed to
cover the full cost of such services, and development impact fees to mitigate the
impact of the development proposed on public improvements. To the extent that
Menifee may develop future financing districts to cover the costs of maintenance
of improvements constructed by development, Developer agrees to petition for
formation of, annexation to or inclusion in any such financing district and to pay
the cost of such formation, annexation or inclusion. The developer acknowledges
it is on notice of the possible changes in development fees and understands that
the fees charged will be those which apply at the time specified in the fee.
6. On October 1st, 2008 the City of Menifee incorporated. At the time the City
incorporated it was required to accept all the laws and ordinances of the County
of Riverside. Over time the City will change these ordinances either by name or
content. The applicant or successor in interest of this project will be subject to
ordinances of the City of Menifee and not those of the County of Riverside that
the City has jurisdiction over. Therefore, any condition of approval listed in this
project that references a County of Riverside Ordinance, will in fact be subject to
the equivalent City ordinance or subsequent ordinance introduced by the City.
The applicant or their successor in interest by accepting these conditions also
agrees to accept the equivalent City ordinance or subsequent ordinance
introduced by the City.

Flood Control
General Conditions
114. Plot Plan No. 19469, Revision No. 1, is a proposal to develop an approximately
20-acre site as a multi -unit senior apartment complex that includes the usual
associated amenities such as a recreational building, swimming pool, etc. The site
is located in the Sun City area adjacent to the 1-215 freeway at the south end of
Bavaria Drive.
A previous rendition of this plot plan was issued conditions of approval in
October of 2004. The proposal was for 31 apartment buildings while the
latest proposal (Revision No. 1) combines several of the buildings leaving
only 27 apartment buildings but with multiple stories thereby increasing
the density of the project. However, the overall footprint of the site
remains largely unchanged.
Offsite flows from a large watercourse impact this development at the
northeast corner. Tract No. 29072-1, a residential development east of
this site, constructed the District's Sun City Regent Lane Storm Drain
(Project No. 4-0-0154), which previously outletted on the project site.
Improvement plans for PP19469 were approved and flood control
facilities have been constructed. Based on the approved plans, Regent
Lane Storm Drain was extended northwesterly approximately 150 feet
where it enters a concrete inlet channel/storm drain built by another
development. The District does not maintain this downstream inlet
channel or storm drain.
Onsite runoff would be collected and conveyed by curb and gutter, ribbon
gutters and catch basins. Low flows would be routed to water quality
swales and storm flows conveyed to either the storm drain at the
northeast corner of the site or to an outlet along the western boundary of
the site.
In order to obtain water quality standards certification from the Regional
Board, the developer of TR 29072 proposed a first flush basin with a
forebay to be constructed within this project site. An 8 inch bleeder pipe
was connected to the Sun City Regent Lane Storm Drain to intercept first
flush flow from TR 29072 and divert it to the forebay of the first flush
basin. The forebay, as constructed, was not free draining and there were
complaints it was becoming a vector (mosquito) problem. District staff
visited the site and confirmed that water was not draining out of the
forebay. A solution to remove the forebay and construct a spreader
structure in the forebay location was proposed by Mr. Robert Love (this
project's developer) and approved by the Army Corps of Engineers. As
part of this improvement, the developer of this project replaced the
forebay with a spreader structure. A new bleeder pipe was also installed
to convey first flush storm runoff from TR 29072 and discharge it into this
spreader which in turn outlets into the first flush basin.
To mitigate the development's impact to water quality, the applicant has
submitted a preliminary project specific Water Quality Management Plan
(WQMP). Enhanced vegetated swales are to be utilized as Treatment
Control Best Management Practices (BMPs). The submitted WQMP
appears to be adequate for this phase of development. Since the site has
already been graded, a final WQMP shall be submitted prior to building
permit issuance. It should be noted that one of the enhanced vegetated
swales would be located within the easement of the first flush basin
mentioned above. It is not clear whether the easement has been recorded
or whether the easement precludes such uses. Regardless, the proposed
enhanced swales would not interfere with the function of the first flush
basin.
115. The 10 year storm flow shall be contained within the curb and the 100 year storm
flow shall be contained within the street right of way. When either of these criteria
is exceeded, additional drainage facilities shall be installed. The property shall be
graded to drain to the adjacent street or an adequate outlet.
116. Drainage facilities outletting sump conditions shall be designed to convey the
tributary 100 year storm flows. Additional emergency escape shall also be
provided.
117. The property's grading shall be designed in a manner that perpetuates the
existing natural drainage patterns with respect to tributary drainage area, outlet
points and outlet conditions; otherwise, a drainage easement shall be obtained
from the affected property owners for the release of concentrated or diverted
storm flows. A copy of the recorded drainage easement shall be submitted to the
District for review.
118. This project proposes BMP facilities that will require maintenance by public
agency. To ensure that the public is not unduly burdened with future costs, prior
to final approval or recordation of this case, the District will require an acceptable
financial mechanism be implemented to provide for maintenance of treatment
control BMPs in perpetuity. This may consist of a mechanism to assess individual
benefiting property owners, or other means approved by the District. The site's
treatment control BMPs must be shown on the project's improvement plans -
either the street plans, grading plans, or landscaping plans. The type of
improvement plans that will show the BMPs will depend on the selected
maintenance entity. The developer shall complete formation of an L&LMD to
maintain the facilities included for TR29072-1.
119. In compliance with Santa Ana Region and San Diego Region Regional Water
Quality Control Board Orders, and Beginning January 1, 2005, projects submitted
within the western region of the unincorporated area of Riverside County for
discretionary approval will be required to comply with the Water Quality
Management Plan for Urban Runoff (WQMP). The WQMP addresses post -
development water quality impacts from new development and redevelopment
projects. The WQMP requirements will vary depending on the project's
geographic location (Santa Ana, Santa Margarita or Whitewater River
watersheds). The WQMP provides detailed guidelines and templates to assist the
developer in completing the necessary studies. These documents are available
on-line at:
(a) www.floodcontrol.co.riverside.ca.us under Programs and Services,
Stormwater Quality.
(b) To comply with the WQMP a developer must submit a "Project
Specific" WQMP. This report is intended to
(i) identify potential post -project pollutants and hydrologic impacts
associated with the development;
(ii) identify proposed mitigation measures (BMPs) for identified
impacts including site design, source control and treatment control
post -development BMPs; and
(iii) identify sustainable funding and maintenance mechanisms for the
aforementioned BMPs. A template for this report is included as
'exhibit A' in the WQMP. The developer has submitted a report
that meets the criteria for a Preliminary Project Specific WQMP.
The report will need to be revised to meet the requirements of a
Final Project Specific WQMP. Also, it should be noted that if 401
certification is necessary for the project, the Water Quality Control
Board may require additional water quality measures.
120. The BMP maintenance plan shall contain provisions for all treatment controlled
BMPs to be inspected, and if required, cleaned no later than October 15 each
year. Required documentation shall identify the entity that will inspect and
maintain all structural BMPs within the project boundaries. A copy of all necessary
documentation shall be submitted to the District for review and approval prior to
the issuance of occupancy permits.
121. Where side slopes leading down to water quality swales are steeper than 4:1,
guardrails shall be provided at the top of the slope.
Prior to Issuance of Building Permit
122. A copy of the improvement plans, grading plans, BMP improvement plans and
any other necessary documentation along with supporting hydrologic and
hydraulic calculations shall be submitted to the District for review. The plans must
receive District approval prior to the issuance of building permits. All submittals
shall be date stamped by the engineer and include a completed Flood Control
Deposit Based Fee Worksheet and the appropriate plan check fee deposit.
123. A copy of the project specific WQMP shall be submitted to the District for review
and approval.
124. This project proposes BMP facilities that will require maintenance by public
agency or commercial property owner association. To ensure that the public is not
unduly burdened with future costs, prior to final approval of this case, an
acceptable financial mechanism shall be implemented to provide for maintenance
of treatment control BMPs in perpetuity. This may consist of a mechanism to
assess individual benefiting property owners, or other means approved by the
City. The site's treatment control BMPs must be shown on the project's
improvement plans - either the street plans, grading plans, or landscaping plans.
The type of improvement plans that will show the BMPs will depend on the
selected maintenance entity.
125. The BMP maintenance plan shall contain provisions for all treatment controlled
BMPs to be inspected, and if required, cleaned no later than October 15 each
year. Required documentation shall identify the entity that will inspect and
maintain all structural BMPs within the project boundaries. A copy of all necessary
documentation shall be submitted to the District for review and approval prior to
the issuance of occupancy permits.
Prior to Final Inspection
126. The developer shall distribute environmental awareness education materials on
general good housekeeping practices that contribute to protection of stormwater
quality to all initial users. The developer may obtain NPDES Public Educational
Program materials from the District's NPDES Section by either the District's
website www.floodcontrol.co.riverside.ca.us, e-mail fcnpdes@co.riverside. ca. us,
or the toll free number 1-800-506-2555. Please provide Project number, number
of units and location of development. Note that there is a five-day minimum
processing period requested for all orders.
The developer must provide to the District's PLAN CHECK Department a
notarized affidavit stating that the distribution of educational materials to the
tenants is assured prior to the issuance of occupancy permits.
