A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MENIFEE
APPROVING PLOT PLAN NO. 2009-111 for the UPS EXPANSION FACILITY
Whereas, on September 30, 2008, the applicant, United Parcel Services, filed a
formal application with the County of Riverside for a plot plan to expand an existing
warehouse facility located north of Highway 74, east of Trumble Road and west of
Sherman Road in the community area of Romoland within the City of Menifee; and,
Whereas, in July 2009, the project was transferred to the City of Menifee for
processing; and,
Whereas, on May 8, 2012, the Planning Commission 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 Plot Plan No. 2009-111, which hearing was
publicly noticed by a publication in the newspaper of general circulation, an agenda
posting, and notice to property owners within 1,200 feet of the Project boundaries, and to
persons requesting public notice; and,
Whereas, at the May 8, 2012 Planning Commission public hearing, the
Commission continued the project to May 22, 2012; and,
Whereas, the Planning Commission held a subsequent public hearing on May
22, 2012, considered public testimony and materials in the staff report and
accompanying documents, which hearing did not require an additional public notice;
and,
Whereas, at the May 22, 2012 Planning Commission public hearing, the
Commission found that:
Consistency with the General Plan. The plot plan is consistent with the General
Plan Land Use Map, Specific Plan and applicable General Plan objectives,
policies, and programs.
The proposed project meets the requirements of the Community Development:
Light Industrial (LI) General Plan land use designation. The LI designation allows
for industrial and related uses including warehousing/distribution, assembly and
light manufacturing, repair facilities, and supporting retail uses.
The project is consistent with General Plan Land Use Policy LU 24.8, which
requires that industrial development be designed to consider their surroundings
and visually enhance, not degrade, the character of the surrounding area. (Al 3).
The project proposes high quality attractive industrial buildings and the site is
heavily landscaped. The project will enhance the surrounding area.
Surrounding General Plan Land Use designations are and Light Industrial (LI) to
the north, south and west, Commercial Retail (CR) west and further south, and
Medium Density Residential and Very Low Density Residential to the east. The
project is compatible with the existing Light Industrial and Commercial Retail land
use designations. The project incorporates landscaping, setbacks and enhanced
landscaping that will contribute to the project's compatibility with the surrounding
residential land uses.
Resolution No PC 12-112
PP 2009-111
May 22, 2012
The project is located within the Highway 79 Policy Area. The Policy Area is
geared toward creating a trip cap on residential development which would result
in a net reduction in overall trip generation of 70,000 vehicle trip per day from that
which would be anticipated from the General Plan Land Use designations as
currently recommended. The Policy requires all new residential developments
proposals within the Highway 79 Policy Area to reduce trip generation
proportionally, and require that residential projects demonstrate adequate
transportation infrastructure capacity to accommodate the added growth. As this
project is non-residential, there will be no impact.
The proposed general plan land use is Economic Development Corridor pursuant
to the City of Menifee Draft Land Use Map approved by the City Council in
March. The intent of the designation is to designate areas where a mixture of
residential, commercial, office, industrial, entertainment, educational and/or
recreational uses, or other uses is planned. In general, areas designated as
EDC are envisioned to develop primarily as nonresidential uses with residential
uses playing a supporting role. The project is to expand an existing
industrial/distribution use. The project is surrounded to the north, south and west
by other properties designated for EDC. Some of the properties contain existing
industrial and/or office uses. Commercial uses are planned for properties to the
south of the site adjacent to Highway 74. Big League Dreams, a large
recreational facility, is located to the north of the site. Residential uses are
located to the east of the property. The project will contribute to the intent of the
EDC by providing an industrial land use. The project enhances the site over and
above what is existing and helps to diminish blight in the area making the project
vicinity a more attractive location for new uses. Therefore, the project is
consistent with the existing general plan land use and there is a reasonable
possibility that the project will be consistent with future general plan and;
therefore, shall not interfere with the future adopted general plan, including a
housing element that is consistent with the state housing element law.
The City of Menifee has two active conservation plans within the City's boundary,
the Western Riverside County MSHCP, and the Stephens' Kangaroo Rat Habitat
Conservation Plan (SKR-HCP). The subject site is within the jurisdiction of the
SKR-HCP and the Western Riverside County MSHCP. The project site is
located inside the Stephen's Kangaroo Rat (Dipodomys stephensi) (SKR) Fee
Area. The proposed project is located within the boundaries of the Western
Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan; however, the
project is not located with a Criteria Cell or Cell Group. The project will be
subject to the payment of fees for an industrial project consistent with the
Riverside County Ordinance 810.2 as adopted by the City of Menifee. Therefore,
the project will not conflict with the provisions of the adopted HCP, Natural
Conservation Community Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state
conservation plan and the impact is considered less than significant.
2. Consistency with the Zoning Code.
The project is zoned Manufacturing Service Commercial (M-SC) designation of
Ordinance 348. The project is consistent with the existing zoning and
development standards. Surrounding zoning includes Manufacturing Service
Commercial (M-SC) to the north and south, Scenic Highway Commercial (C-P-
S), Manufacturing Service Commercial (M-SC) and Rural -Residential (R-R) in
Resolution No PC 12-112
PP 2009-111
May 22, 2012
the City of Menifee to the west with Business Park (BP) in the City of Perris to the
northwest and Light Agricultural with a one acre minimum lot size (A-1-1) to the
east. The project establishes a 55-foot easement along Sherman Road for flood
control purposes. This will serve as a buffer to the adjacent agriculturally zoned
properties on the east side of Sherman Road. The project will also provide
landscaping along Sherman Road which will enhance and buffer the site. The
classifications are compatible with the proposed industrial land use.
3. Surrounding Uses. Approval of the application will not create conditions
materially detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare or injurious
to or incompatible with other properties or land uses in the project vicinity.
The site is bordered to the west with an existing construction equipment rental
facility (Sunstate Equipment) and vacant parcels, to the east by single-family
residences, to the north by the Gas Company (Sempra Energy maintenance
facility), construction equipment rental facility and vacant land and to the south by
vacant land and the Sun Leisure Motel. The proposed project is compatible with
the surrounding land uses, general plan land use designations and zoning
classifications. The project improves the site with a new building, enhancements
to the existing building, attractive wrought iron fencing, and substantial
landscaping which will enhance the area. Environmental impacts resulting from
the project have been analyzed in a mitigated negative declaration which
determined impacts including, but not limited to, air quality, greenhouse gas
emissions, water quality, noise, and traffic would all be less than significant with
mitigation incorporated. Therefore, the project is not anticipated to create
conditions materially detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare
or injurious to or incompatible with other properties or land uses in the project
vicinity.
4. Compliance with CEQA. Processing and approval of the permit application are in
compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act.
A Mitigated Negative Declaration has been completed for the proposed project.
The mitigated negative declaration identified mitigation measures that reduce the
impacts to less than significant levels. A mitigated negative declaration and the
mitigation monitoring program will be filed for this project.
Now, therefore, the Planning Commission of the City of Menifee resolves and
orders as follows:
The Findings set out above are true and correct.
2. A Mitigated Negative Declaration is adopted and staff/developer is
instructed to file the Notice of Determination.
3. Plot Plan No. 2009-111, is approved subject to the Conditions of Approval
as set forth in Exhibit "1" to this Resolution and as approved by the
Planning Commission on May 22, 2012.

GEOLOGY
21. Geologic Report 2160. The project shall comply with County Geologic Report
No. 2160 submitted for this project, (City of Menifee case PP 2009-11, formerly
County PP23821) was prepared by Geotechnologies, Inc. and is entitled:
"Geotechnical Engineering Investigation, Proposed Expansion of Existing Parcel
Distribution Facility, 25283 Sherman Road, Romoland, California", dated
February 29, 2008, Revised February 18, 2009, File No. 19606. In addition,
Geotechnologies, Inc. submitted 'Response to County of Riverside Review,
Proposed Expansion of Existing Parcel Distribution Facility, 25283 Sherman
Road, Romoland, California', dated August 24, 2009. This document is herein
incorporated as part of GEO02160.
GEO02160 concluded:
1. The primary hazard at the site is moderate to strong ground shaking
caused by an earthquake on any of the local or regional faults.
2. No active or potentially active faults underlie the subject site.
3. The potential for surface ground rupture at the subject site is considered
low.
4. Site soils would not be prone to liquefaction during the ground motion
expected during the design basis earthquake.
5. The probability of seismically -induced landslides occurring on the site is
considered to be low.
6. The subject site is high and/or far enough from the ocean that it would
not be considered susceptible to tsunami hazards.
7. The site is located within the mapped inundation boundaries of Lake
Perris.
8. Settlements resulting from hydroconsolidation of the underlying soils are
expected to be negligible.
9. Seismically -induced settlement of the proposed structures should be
expected as a result of strong ground -shaking, however, due to the
uniform nature of the underlying earth materials, excessive differential
settlements are not expected to occur.
10. The existing fill materials and upper native soils are not suitable for
support of the proposed foundations, floor slabs or additional fill.
GEO02160 recommended:
Conditions of Approval for Plot Plan No. 2009-111 10 of 45
1. Existing fill materials and upper native soils should be removed to a
minimum depth of three feet below proposed foundations and
recompacted as controlled fill prior to foundation excavation.
2. A determination of whether a higher site elevation would remove the
site from the potential inundation zone is beyond the scope of this
geotechnical investigation.
GEO02183 recommended:
The potentially collapsible soils are recommended to be removed and
replaced with compacted fill to a depth of one foot below the bottom of
the deepest footing and three feet below the slab -on -grade.
The design recommendation in report should be reviewed during the
grading phase when soil conditions in the excavations become
exposed.
ARCHEOLOGY
22. Human Remains. If human remains are encountered, State Health and Safety
Code Section 7050.5 states that no further disturbance shall occur until the
Riverside County Coroner has made the necessary findings as to origin. Further,
pursuant to Public Resource Code Section 5097.98(b) remains shall be left in
place and free from disturbance until a final decision as to the treatment and
disposition has been made. If the Riverside County Coroner determines the
remains to be Native American, the Native American Heritage Commission shall
be contacted within 24 hours. Subsequently, the Native American Heritage
Commission shall identify the "most likely descendant" within 48 hours. The most
likely descendant shall then make recommendations and engage in consultation
concerning the treatment of the remains as provided in Public Resources Code
Section 5097.98.
23. Inadvertent Archeological Find. If during ground disturbance activities, unique
cultural resources are discovered that were not assessed by the archaeological
report(s) and/or environmental assessment conducted prior to project approval,
the following procedures shall be followed. Unique cultural resources are defined,
for this condition, as being multiple artifacts in close association with each other,
but may include fewer artifacts if the area of the find is determined to be of
significance due to its sacred or cultural importance in consultation with the
applicable Native American tribal representative.
1) All ground disturbance activities within 100 feet of the discovered cultural
resources shall be halted until a meeting is convened between the
developer, the archaeologist, the Native American tribal representative
and the Community Development Director to discuss the significance of
the find.
2) At the meeting, the significance of the discoveries shall be discussed and
after consultation with the Native American tribal representative and the
archaeologist, a decision shall be made, with the concurrence of the
Conditions of Approval for Plot Plan No. 2009-111 11 of 45
Community Development Director, as to the appropriate mitigation
(documentation, recovery, avoidance, etc.) for the cultural resources.
3) Grading of further ground disturbance shall not resume within the area of
the discovery until an agreement has been reached by all parties as to

site grading/earthmoving activities could potentially impact this resource. Hence:
PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF GRADING PERMITS:
The developer shall retain a qualified paleontologist approved by the City of
Menifee to create and implement a project -specific plan for monitoring site
grading/earthmoving activities (project paleontologist).
2. The project paleontologist retained shall review the approved development
plan and shall conduct any pre -construction work necessary to render
appropriate monitoring and mitigation requirements as appropriate. These
requirements shall be documented by the project paleontologist in a
Paleontological Resource Impact Mitigation Program (PRIMP). This PRIMP
shall be submitted to the Planning Department for review and approval prior
to issuance of a Grading Permit.
Information to be contained in the PRIMP, at a minimum and in addition to
other industry standard and Society of Vertebrate Paleontology standards,
are as follows:
A. The project paleontologist shall participate in a pre -construction project
meeting with development staff and construction operations to ensure an
understanding of any mitigation measures required during construction, as
applicable.
B. Paleontological monitoring of earthmoving activities will be conducted on
an as -needed basis by the project paleontologist during all earthmoving
activities that may expose sensitive strata. Earthmoving activities in areas
of the project area where previously undisturbed strata will be buried but
not otherwise disturbed will not be monitored. The project paleontologist or
his/her assign will have the authority to reduce monitoring once he/she
Conditions of Approval for Plot Plan No. 2009-111 15 of 45
determines the probability of encountering fossils has dropped below an
acceptable level.
C. If the project paleontologist finds fossil remains, earthmoving activities
will be diverted temporarily around the fossil site until the remains have
been evaluated and recovered. Earthmoving will be allowed to proceed
through the site when the project paleontologist determines the fossils have
been recovered and/or the site mitigated to the extent necessary.
D. If fossil remains are encountered by earthmoving activities when the
project paleontologist is not onsite, these activities will be diverted around
the fossil site and the project paleontologist called to the site immediately to
recover the remains.
E. If fossil remains are encountered, fossiliferous rock will be recovered
from the fossil site and processed to allow for the recovery of smaller fossil
remains. Test samples may be recovered from other sampling sites in the
rock unit if appropriate.
F. Any recovered fossil remains will be prepared to the point of identification
and identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible by knowledgeable
paleontologists. The remains then will be curated (assigned and labeled
with museum* repository fossil specimen numbers and corresponding fossil
site numbers, as appropriate; places in specimen trays and, if necessary,
vials with completed specimen data cards) and catalogued, an associated
specimen data and corresponding geologic and geographic site data will be
archived (specimen and site numbers and corresponding data entered into
appropriate museum repository catalogs and computerized data bases) at
the museum repository by a laboratory technician. The remains will then be
accessioned into the museum* repository fossil collection, where they will
be permanently stored, maintained, and, along with associated specimen
and site data, made available for future study by qualified scientific
investigators.
* The County of Riverside must be consulted on the repository/museum to
receive the fossil material prior to being curated.
G. A qualified paleontologist shall prepare a report of findings made during
all site grading activity with an appended itemized list of fossil specimens
recovered during grading (if any). This report shall be submitted to the
Planning Department for review and approval prior to building final
inspection as described elsewhere in these conditions .
