A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MENIFEE, CALIFORNIA APPROVING TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO.
36728 (PLANNING APPLICATION 2014-093 PM) FOR THE
SUBDIVISION OF 14.04 ACRES INTO THIRTEEN () PARCELS
LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF NEWPORT AND
MENIFEE ROADS FOR THE SHOPPES AT THE LAKES
Whereas, on March 31, 2014, the applicant, Stater Bros. Supermarkets, filed a
formal application with the City of Menifee for the subdivision of 14.04 acres into thirteen
(13) parcels located at the southeast corner of Newport and Menifee Road within the
City of Menifee; and
Whereas, on December 10, 2014, the Planning Commission of the City of
Menifee 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
Tentative Parcel Map No. 36728, which hearing was publicly noticed by a publication in
The Press Enterprise (a newspaper of general circulation), an agenda posting, and
notice to property owners within 1,000 feet of the Project boundaries, and to persons
requesting public notice; and,
Whereas, the Planning Commission of the City of Menifee makes the following
Findings:
Consistency with the General Plan. The tentative parcel map is consistent with
the General Plan Land Use Map and applicable General Plan objectives,
policies, and programs.
The General Plan land use of the site is Specific Plan (Menifee East). The intent
of this land use designation is to recognize areas where an existing specific plan
is in place and to provide policies, standards and criteria for the development or
redevelopment of these areas. The proposed project, a subdivision for a
commercial shopping center, meets the requirements of the Specific Plan
(Menifee East) land use designation.
The project is consistent with the following City of Menifee General Plan
goals and policies:
Project Design
CD-3.5 Design parking lots and structures to be functionally and visually
integrated and connected; off-street parking lots should not dominate the
streetscene.
The project site has been designed to locate certain buildings closer to the
surrounding roadways to minimize the appearance of the parking lot.
Perimeter landscaping has been included to visually screen the parking lot
from surrounding roadways.
CD-3.6 Locate site entries and storage bays to minimize conflicts with
adjacent residential neighborhoods.
The project has been designed to include only one driveway on Rockport
Road closest to the residential land uses to the south to limit traffic noise and
Resolution No PC 14-190
PM36728/ Planning Case 2014-093 PM
December 10, 2014
congestion from this road. The project has also been designed to screen and
limit noise impacts from truck loading areas on site to the nearby residential
land uses to the south.
CD-3.8 Design retention/detention basins to be visually attractive and well
integrated with any associated project and with adjacent land uses.
The detention basin will include landscaping along the perimeter to visually
screen and hydroseeding within the basin to enhance the appearance of the
basin.
CD-3.9 Utilize Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED)
techniques and defensible space design concepts to enhance community
safety.
The project is required to include security cameras across the site and the
site has been designed to limit concealed areas to allow for greater visibility
and security.
Enhanced Landscape Corridors
CD-4.1 Create unifying streetscape elements for enhanced landscape
streets, including coordinated streetlights, landscaping, public signage, street
furniture, and hardscaping.
The project will preserve the existing trees located along Newport Road
designated as an enhanced landscape corridor.
Policies
ED-2.1 Promote retail development by locating needed goods and services
in proximity to where residents live to improve quality of life, retain taxable
spending by Menifee residents, and attract residents from outside the City to
shop in Menifee.
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
Resolution No PC 14-190
PM36728/ Planning Case 2014-093 PM
December 10, 2014
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.
N-1.2 Require new projects to comply with the noise standards of local,
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 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 Specific Plan (Menifee East, Planning Area 1 -
Commercial). The Specific Plan refers back to the Scenic Highway Commercial
designation of Ordinance 348. The project is consistent with the zoning and
development standards.
Resolution No PC 14-190
PM36728/ Planning Case 2014-093 PM
December 10, 2014
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.
3. Consistency with Ordinance 460 Regulating the Division of Land.
The subdivision is a Schedule E subdivision of 14.04 net acres into 13 parcels. A
Schedule E parcel map is defined by Ordinance 460 as any division of land into
two (2) or more parcels in commercial or industrial zones regardless of parcel
size. The subdivision has been reviewed and conditioned for consistency with
the requirements for streets, domestic water, fire protection, sewage disposal,
fences, and electrical communication facilities. The subdivision is consistent with
the Schedule E map requirements of Ordinance 460.
4. 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
to or incompatible with other properties or land uses in the project vicinity.
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 ("MND") has been completed for the shopping
center and adopted by the Planning Commission pursuant to Resolution PC 14-
192. The Tentative Parcel Map at issue is consistent with the MIND, which the
Planning Commission has considered as part of its proceedings. No new
environmental impacts have been identified and no further environmental review
is required for this project.

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
Page 12 of 27
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.
All reports shall be signed by the project paleontologist and all other
professionals responsible for the report's content (eg. Professional Geologist,
Professional Engineer, etc.), as appropriate. Two wet -signed original copies of
the report shall be submitted directly to the Community Development
Department along with a copy of this condition, deposit based fee and the
grading plan for appropriate case processing and tracking.
FEES
27. Stephen's Kangaroo Rat Fee. Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, the
permittee shall comply with the provisions of Ordinance No. 663, which
generally requires the payment of the appropriate fee set forth in that
ordinance. The amount of the fee required to be paid may vary depending
upon a variety of factors, including the type of development application
submitted and the applicability of any fee reduction or exemption provisions
contained in Ordinance No. 663. Said fee shall be calculated on the approved
development project which is anticipated to be 19.70 acres (gross) in
accordance with APPROVED EXHIBIT A. If the development is subsequently
revised, this acreage amount may be modified in order to reflect the revised
development project acreage amount. In the event Ordinance No. 663 is
rescinded, this condition will no longer be applicable. However, should
Ordinance No. 663 be rescinded and superseded by a subsequent mitigation
fee ordinance, payment of the appropriate fee set forth in that ordinance shall
be required.

Prior to Grading Permit Conditions
58. Burrowing Owl. Pursuant to Objective 6 and Objective 7 of the Species
Account for the Burrowing Owl included in the Western Riverside County
Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan, within 30 days prior to the
issuance of a grading permit, a pre -construction presence/absence survey for
the burrowing owl shall be conducted by a qualified biologist and the results of
this presence/absence survey shall be provided in writing to the Environmental
Programs Department. If it is determined that the project site is occupied by
the Burrowing Owl, take of "active" nests shall be avoided pursuant to the
MSHCP and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. However, when the Burrowing Owl
is present, relocation outside of the nesting season (March 1 through August
31) by a qualified biologist shall be required. The County Biologist shall be
consulted to determine appropriate type of relocation (active or passive) and
translocation sites. Occupation of this species on the project site may result in
the need to revise grading plans so that take of "active" nests is avoided or
alternatively, a grading permit may be issued once the species has been
actively relocated.
If the grading permit is not obtained within 30 days of the survey a new survey
shall be required.
No ground disturbance, including disking, blading, grubbing or any similar
activity shall occur within the site until the burrowing owl study is reviewed and
approved.
For any ground disturbance activities during the general bird nesting season
(February 1-September 15), a survey for nesting birds shall be conducted by a
qualified biologist prior to any such activities during the general bird nesting
season and the results of the survey shall be provided in writing to the
Environmental Programs Department.
