December 10, 2014
CD-4,2 Design new and, when necessary, retrofit existing streets to improve
walkability, bicycling, and transit integration; strengthen connectivity; and
enhance community identity through improvements to the public right-of-way
such as sidewalks, street trees, parkways, curbs, street lighting, and street
furniture.
The project will include additional Class II (striped) bike lanes along the
eastern side of Menifee Road and southern side of Newport Road. The
existing decomposed granite trail on the east side of Menifee Road will be
preserved for recreational use. The project will also include an RTA bus stop
with shelter on the east (northbound) side of Menifee Road as well as
sidewalks along all frontage where not already provided.
CD-4.3 Apply special paving at major intersections and crosswalks along

spending by Menifee residents and attract residents from outside the City to
shop in Menifee.
Resolution No PC 14-188
PP2014-091
December 10. 2014
• Locate businesses providing convenience goods and services in retail
centers that are on arterials adjacent to neighborhoods and communities
throughout the City but not in rural residential areas.
• Encourage comparison goods businesses to locate in larger retail centers
located on major arterials near freeway interchanges, because
businesses that provide comparison goods tend to draw customers from
larger areas.
The proposed project would provide additional shopping options and greater
convenience to residential uses nearby.
ED-2.2 Require regional retail districts to provide entertainment and dining
in addition to retail sales and services to create destinations prepared to
withstand e-commerce's increasing capture of retail spending. These districts
should create a pedestrian -friendly human -scale atmosphere with street
furniture, shading, and gathering spaces that enhance the experience of
shopping and socializing.
Local retail centers (primarily intended to serve Menifee residents) need not
necessarily provide dining and entertainment but shall provide street
furniture, shading, pedestrian -circulation, and gathering spaces that enhance
the experience of shopping.
The proposed project could include both fast food and sit down style
restaurant uses.
Policies: Policy and Regulation
N-1.1 Assess the compatibility of proposed land uses with the noise
environment when preparing, revising, or reviewing development project
applications.

regional, and state building code regulations, including but not limited to the
City's Municipal Code, Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, the
California Green Building Code, and subdivision and development codes.
The project included an acoustical analysis that analyzed the impacts of the
proposed project's construction and operation on surrounding land uses, in
particular the residential land uses to the south and the school use to the
southwest and determined that these impacts are less than significant
pursuant to CEQA and would comply with all applicable local and state
regulations for noise.
The project is within the Menifee East Specific Plan, The project is consistent
with the design guidelines, zoning and development standards of the Specific
Plan. The Specific Plan designates the area as Commercial and the area is
planned for neighborhood commercial development and would feature
supermarkets, pharmacies, restaurants, and other retail stores.

The City of Menifee has two (2) 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 a commercial project consistent with Riverside
County Ordinance No. 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 Specific Plan (Menifee East, Planning Area 1 -
Commercial). The Specific Plan refers back to the Scenic Highway Commercial
designation of Ordinance No. 348. The project is consistent with the zoning and
development standards, excluding those standards where a variance is
requested.
Surrounding zoning includes Specific Plan (Menifee Village, Planning Area 3-1 -
Commercial) to the north, Specific Plan (Menifee Village, Planning Areas 2-11 —
Commercial and 2-12 — School), Specific Plan (Menifee East, Planning Area 4 —
Medium Residential) to the south, and Specific Plan (Menifee East, Planning
Areas 2 — Very High Residential and 3 — Day Care) to the east. These
classifications are compatible with the Specific Plan (Menifee East, Planning
Area 1) zone of the project site.
The project is consistent with Riverside County Ordinance No, 348, Section
18.48 as adopted by the City of Menifee, excluding those standards where a
variance is reauested.
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.
To the north beyond Newport Road is vacant land with the currently developing
ARCO AM/PM at the northeast corner of Newport Road and Menifee Road. To
the west beyond Menifee Road is vacant land and Callie Kirkpatrick Elementary
School. To the south beyond Rockport Road are single-family residential land
uses. To the east beyond Laguna Vista Drive is vacant land.
The project is compatible with the surrounding land uses, general plan land use
designations and zoning classifications. The project incorporates quality
architecture and 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. Therefore, the project is not anticipated to create conditions
materially detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare or injurious

the following procedures shall be followed. Unique cultural resources are
defined, for this condition only, 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 as
determined in consultation with the Native American Tribe(s).
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 tribal representative(s) and the Community
Development Director to discuss the significance of the find.
At the meeting, the significance of the discoveries shall be discussed and
after consultation with the tribal representative(s) and the archaeologist, a
decision shall be made, with the concurrence of the Community Development
Director, as to the appropriate mitigation (documentation, recovery,
avoidance, etc.) for the cultural resources.
Page 13of51
iii, 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 the
appropriate mitigation.
iv, Treatment and avoidance of the newly discovered resources shall be
consistent with the Cultural Resources Treatment and Monitoring
Agreements entered into with the appropriate tribes. This may include
avoidance of the cultural resources through project design, in -place
preservation of cultural resources located in native soils and/or re -burial on
the Project property so they are not subject to further disturbance in
perpetuity.
v. Pursuant to Calif. Pub. Res. Code § 21083.2(b) avoidance is the preferred
method of preservation for archaeological resources and cultural resources.
If the landowner and the Tribe(s) cannot agree on the significance or the
mitigation for the archaeological or cultural resources, these issues will be
presented to the City Community Development Director for decision. The City
Community Development Director shall make the determination based on the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act with respect to
archaeological resources, recommendations of the project archeologist and
shall take into account the cultural and religious principles and practices of
the Tribe. Notwithstanding any other rights available under the law, the
decision of the City Community Development Director shall be appealable to
the City Planning Commission and/or City Council."

gradinglearthmoving activities (project paleontologist).
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
Community Development 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
Page 18 of 51
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 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 City of Menifee 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 Community
Development Department for review and approval prior to building final
inspection as described elsewhere in these conditions.
