Section 1 . With regard to Tentative Tract [/ap No. 34600 and EOT 201 8-017, the
Planning Commission hereby makes the following findings:
Resolution for 2'd EOT for TR34600
EOT 2018-017
1 . Consistency with the General Plan. The tentative tract map ls conslstent wltFr
the General Plan Land Use Map, Specific Plan and applicable General Plan
objective s, pol icie s, an d prog ram s.
The project has a General Plan Land Use Designation of Specific Plan
(Menifee North Specific Plan No. 260, Planning Area 23A High lcarden
Courtsl). The intent of the Specific Plan 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 Specific Plan envisioned garden court residential at a density of
approximately 8.5 dwelling units. The proposed project, 153 condominium
units at a density of 8.36 dwelling units an acre, is consistent with the Specific
Plan.
The project is consistent with the following City of Menifee General Plan
policies:
LU-1 .1 Concentrate growth in strategic locations to help preseNe rural areas,
create place and identity, provide infrastructure efficiently, and foster the use
of transit options.
The proposed project is located within an urbanized area designated for
residential use, and would, therefore, avoid and/or preserve rural areas of the
City.
LU-3.4 Require that approval of new development be contingent upon the
project's ability to secure appropriate infrastructure services.
The subdivision includes Conditions of Approval which require appropriate
infrastructure. ln addition, the subdivision has been reviewed and
conditioned for consistency with the requirements for domestic water, fire
protection, sewage disposal, fences, and electrical communication facilities.
Consistency with Housing Element. The property is identified in the City's
Housing Element as a Housing Opportunity Site for residential with a density
of 8.1-14 du/acre Residential (8.1-'l4R). This density is anticipated to provide
housing capable of supporting moderate income housing. The proposed
project has a density of 8.36 dwelling units per acre and falls within the
density range identified in the Housing Element. The project is therefore
consistent with the Housing Element.
Consistencv with Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (lrilSHCP)
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 sublect site is
within the jurisdiction of the SKR-HCP and the Western Riverside County
MSHCP. The pro.ject site is located inside the Stephen's Kangaroo Rat
(Dipodomys stephens,) (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 within a
Criteria Cell or Cell Group. The project will be subject to the payment of fees

Resolution for 2"d EOT for TR34600
EOT 2018-017
The subject site is a vacant, relatively flat, previously disturbed site and is
part of a Specific Plan (master planned development). The project site is
surrounded by an existing park, community center and proposed residential
to the north, a future commercial center to the south, future commercial and
residential to the west and future residential to the east. Highway 74 is to the
south of the site, Briggs Road is to the east and Malone Avenue to the west.
The development of the subject site would implement the adopted Specific
Plan and create a development in an existing urban area.
The proposed density of the project is consistent with the Specific Plan, and
the surrounding residential uses mentioned above. Therefore, given the
relatively flat topography of the subject srte and the nature of the existing and
planned development that surrounds the project, the site is physically suitable
for this type of development and the proposed density of the development.
5. Approval of the application will not create conditions materially detrimental to
the public health, safety and general welfare.
The public health, safety and general welfare are protected through project
design and conditions of approval. Environmental impacts of the project were
analyzed in a Mitigated Negative Declaration (Environmental Assessment No.
4027 5). The approved mitigation measures have been incorporated by
reference into the conditions of approval. The City of Menifee Community
Development Department and Engineering Department, as part of the review
of this Extension of Time request, determined it necessary to recommend the
addition of new conditions of approval in order to be able to make a
determrnation that the pro.ject does not adversely affect the general health,
safety and welfare of the public. The applicant has consented to the
additions of those conditions.
6. Compliance with CEQA. Processing and approval
application are in compliance with the requirements
