A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MENIFEE
APPROVING PLANNING APPLICATION NO. 2011-140 PLOT PLAN for COLEMAN
KENNEL LOCATED AT 25020 SHERMAN ROAD.
Whereas, on October 12, 2011, the applicant, Herron+Rumansoff Architects,
filed a formal application with the City of Menifee allow the use for a Class III Non -
Commercial Kennel at 25020 Sherman Road in the City of Menifee; and,
Whereas, on August 14, 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 Planning Application No. 2011-140
Plot Plan, which hearing was publicly noticed by a publication in the newspaper of
general circulation, an agenda posting, and notice to property owners within 600 feet of
the Project boundaries, and to persons requesting public notice; and,
Whereas, at the August 14, 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 General Plan land use of the site is Community Development: Very Low
Density Residential (CD: VLDR) (1 Acre Minimum). The Very Low Density
Residential land use designation provides for the development of detached single
family residential dwelling units and ancillary structures on large parcels. In the
Community Development Foundation Component (unlike the Rural Community
Foundation Component, which also permits the application of the Very Low
Density Residential land use designation), intensive animal -keeping uses are
discouraged or would be limited to ensure compatibility between the VLDR
designation and other, more intense Community Development residential uses in
the vicinity. Limited agriculture is permitted in this designation. The project is
consistent with the existing general plan land use designation. The zoning of the
property allows for up to a Class IV kennel (40 or more dogs) with a CUP and the
grazing of cattle, horses, sheep, goats by right. The applicant is proposing a
Class III kennel for 30 dogs and all of the dogs are smaller, weighing below 15
pounds. No other large animals, such as horses, cattle, and sheep, are kept
onsite. Therefore, the animal keeping uses onsite would not be considered
intensive and are allowed by the zoning of the property.
Surrounding General Plan Land Use designations are Community Development:
Very Low Density Residential (CD: VLDR) (1 Acre Minimum) to the south and
east, Medium Density Residential (MDR) (2-5 d/u per acre) in the County of
Riverside to the north and Light Industrial (LI) to the west. The general plan land
uses to the south and east are identical to the general plan land use designation
of the project site; and, therefore, compatible. The general plan land use to the
north is Medium Density Residential which is compatible with the project site's
land use as they both allow residential uses and some animal keeping. The
property to the west designated Light Industrial is vacant. Therefore, the project
is compatible with the surrounding general plan land uses.
Resolution No. PC 12-118
PP 2011-140
August 14, 2012
The project is consistent with General Plan Land Use Policy LU 6.1, which
requires land uses to develop in accordance with the General Plan and area
plans to ensure compatibility and minimize impacts.
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. The
house on the property is existing and no new residential uses are proposed;
there will be no impact.
The proposed general plan land use designation is Rural Residential (RR1) 1
acre minimum. This land use designation is proposed to allow for, single-family
detached residences on large parcels of 1 to 2 acres, limited agriculture,
equestrian and animal keeping uses are expected and encouraged, and allows
small scale "home based business operations" on rural large lot properties if
consistent with surrounding character. 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 Ordinance 348. The project is consistent with
the Light Agriculture zoning and with Section 18.45 Kennels and Catteries.
The project is zoned Light Agriculture — 1 Acre Minimum (A-1-1). In this zone, a
Class III kennel is allowed with approval of a plot plan application. The project is
consistent with the development standards of the Light Agriculture zone.
The project site is surrounded by properties zoned Light Agriculture — 1 Acre
Minimum (A-1-1) to the south and east, Rural Residential (R-R) to the north and
Manufacturing Service Commercial (M-SC) to the west. Kennels are allowed in
all of the surrounding zones. The project is compatible with the surrounding
zones.
Resolution No. PC 12-118
PP 2011-140
August 14, 2012
Ordinance 348, Section 18.45 contains the following development standards for kennels:
c. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.
(1) RESIDENCY: In those zones permitting Class I Kennels, such kennels may
be placed upon parcels containing detached single family dwelling units. All
Class II Kennels and all catteries shall include a single family dwelling to be used
by a live-in caretaker, as required by the Riverside County standards for kennels
and catteries. Notwithstanding any provision within this ordinance to the contrary,
no parcel with a kennel or cattery shall contain more than the maximum number
of detached single family dwelling units permitted by the existing zoning on the
property. Multi -family dwelling units and attached single family dwelling units
shall not be permitted in conjunction with kennels or catteries, provided, however,
that a guest dwelling or second unit shall be permitted in accordance with current
County ordinances.
The property contains a single family residence and the property owner's reside
in the home. The property does not contain more than the maximum number of
detached single family dwelling units permitted by the zoning of the property.
(2) MINIMUM LOT SIZE: The minimum lot size for a kennel or cattery in an
agricultural, residential, rural or open space zone is one acre (gross). There is no
minimum lot size for a kennel or cattery in an industrial zone other than what is
required by the existing zoning on the property.
The property is 1.28 acres and meets the minimum lot size requirement.
(3) LICENSE: The applicant shall obtain and continuously maintain all necessary
licenses from the Riverside County Health Department.
The applicant has been conditioned to obtain all necessary licenses.
(4) COUNTY ORDINANCE NO. 630: All kennels and catteries are subject to the
provisions of County Ordinance No. 630.
The applicant has been conditioned to comply with the provisions of Ordinance
630.
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 north, south and east by residences on large lots.
The property to the west of the site is vacant. The surrounding residential lots to
the east are approximately a half acre in size and the residential lots to the south
and north are approximately 1 acre in size. The zoning of the surrounding lots
allows for animal keeping. The dogs are small dogs all weighing under 15
pounds. The lot is over one acre in size and provides for about a 50 foot setback
to the nearest residence. The dogs are not left outside overnight, so there is no
noise issues in the evening and early morning caused by barking. In addition,
Resolution No. PC 12-118
PP 2011-140
August 14, 2012
the dogs are not left outside when the owners are not home. There has been no
noise complaints received from neighbors of this property by the City. There will
be no public coming to the site. The kennel is a non-commercial kennel for the
keeping of the property owners own dogs. The property owners shall not be
boarding or grooming other people's dogs. The proposed project is consistent
with the surrounding land uses, general plan land use designations and zoning
classifications. 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.
The project is exempt from CEQA.
The proposed use has been determined to be Categorically Exempt (Class I —
15301 Existing Facilities) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
and CEQA Guidelines because the kennel is not a commercial kennel, not open
to the public, there are no employees, no traffic is generated by the use, no new
structures are proposed and the use will be occupying existing structures and
involves negligible expansion of the use beyond that existing at the time of the
City's determination. The project site is located in an area where all public
services and facilities are available. The area in which the project is located is
not environmentally sensitive.
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. Planning Application No. 2011-140 Plot Plan, 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 January 10, 2012.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 141h DAY OF AUGUST 2012.
