A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MENIFEE, CALIFORNIA RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL
APPROVE TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 2016-285 (TM NO. 37131) TO
SUBDIVIDE 79.68 ACRES INTO RESIDENTIAL 305 LOTS LOCATED
SOUTH OF OLD NEWPORT ROAD, EAST OF THE LAKES
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, AND WEST OF BRIGGS ROAD
Whereas, on December 15, 2016, the applicant, The Abacherli Family Trust,
filed a formal application with the City of Menifee for the approval of Tentative Tract Map
No. 2016-285 (TM37131) (“Project”) to establish a Specific Plan on the property as
identified as APNs 364-190-004 and 364-190-005; and
Whereas, the application for Tentative Tract Map (2016-285, TR 37131) is being
processed concurrently with applications for a General Plan Amendment No. 2016-287
to change the land use designation of the site from Agriculture (AG) to Specific Plan
(SP), Change of Zone No. 2016-288 to change the zoning of the site from Agriculture
(AG) (formerly Heavy Agriculture – 10 Acre Minimum [A-2-10] prior to adoption of the
City’s new Zoning Map) to the Rockport Ranch Specific Plan, and Specific Plan No.
2016-286 which establishes land uses and development standards for 79.68 acres,
including the project area; and,
Whereas, on April 22, 2020, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed Public
Hearing on the Project, considered all public testimony as well as materials in the staff
report and accompanying documents, 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 500 feet of the Project boundaries and to
the entire Tierra Shores residential neighborhood to the north, and to persons requesting
public notice; and
NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of Menifee resolves
as follows:
Section 1: Consistency with the General Plan.
The General Plan land use designation of the site is Agriculture (AG).
The current zoning classification on the Project site is Agriculture (AG)
(formerly Heavy Agriculture – 10 Acre Minimum [A-2-10] prior to adoption
of the City’s new Zoning Map), which would allow heavy agricultural uses.
The project includes a General Plan Amendment to change the land use
from AG to Specific Plan, as well as a Change of Zone to modify the
zoning from AG to Specific Plan. The Project proposes a suburban
residential development which constitutes an appropriate transition from
the agricultural uses and open space to the east and the Wilderness
Lakes RV Resort to the south, toward suburban residential uses to the
north and west. The Project would be a continuation of the development
pattern to the north and to the west and represents a logical stopping
point for suburban style development within the City.

The Project site is surrounded to the south, north and west by similar
style residential and recreational development in terms of scale and
intensity.
The proposed Rockport Ranch Specific Plan provides land uses,
development standards and design guidelines that implement the goals
and policies of the General Plan, including providing a range of
homeownership opportunities, concentrating growth in strategic locations
near transportation options, providing well-designed transitions between
land uses, supporting multimodal transportation opportunities, and adding
private recreational and open space amenities. Roadways, trails, bike
lanes, and enhanced landscape corridors have been incorporated into the
Specific Plan.
Tentative Tract Map No. 2016-285 (TTM 37131) proposes to subdivide
the Project area into 305 residential lots (totaling 38.4 acres of residential
uses). Additional lots (totaling 20.1 acres) are proposed for recreational
uses, trails, and open space areas. Internal roads and easements will
comprise 21.2 acres. The number of dwelling units proposed by the map
is consistent with and does not exceed the maximum allowed under the
concurrently proposed General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan. The
lots sizes shown on the tentative map are consistent with the lot sizes
allowed within the Specific Plan. Proposed tentative tract map is
consistent with the density of the proposed land use plan, lot sizes and
development standards of the Specific Plan. The roadways shown on the
tentative map are consistent with the Specific Plan circulation plan.
Tentative Tract Map No. 2016-285 is consistent with the proposed
Specific Plan.
In addition, the Project is consistent with the following City of Menifee
General Plan policies:
Land Use
Policy LU-1.1: Concentrate growth in strategic locations to help
preserve rural areas, create place and identity, provide infrastructure
efficiently, and foster the use of transit options.
The Rockport Ranch Specific Plan is located within existing residential
and recreational land uses along Old Newport Road and Briggs Road.
Residential land uses are sited to the north and west. County
agricultural land is located to the east across Briggs Road, and an RV
park is located to the south. The location of the Plan area, and the
proposed offsite improvements will allow for quick access to multitude
of transportation options including pedestrian access, bicycle lanes
access to bus routes, and regional access via Newport
Road/Domenigoni Parkway and Interstate 215.

Policy LU-1.2: Provide a spectrum of housing types and price ranges
that match the jobs in the city and make it possible for people to live
and work in Menifee and maintain a high quality of life.
Two main residential land uses are proposed within the Specific Plan
area; a courtyard residential product and traditional single-family
homes. These uses include a variety of lot sizes, which offer choices
for homebuyers in different income levels. The smaller courtyard
residential product can accommodate new homebuyers in the lower
end of economic spectrum, while lots ranging from 5,000 minimum sf
to 7,000 minimum sf can accommodate a range of income levels. This
mix of unit sizes and types diversifies the Specific Plan area and
creates a sense of community, where people from all ends of the
spectrum can afford to live in an attractive neighborhood. Therefore,
the Specific Plan provides a range of homeownership opportunities
that allow potential residents to be able to afford to live and work in
Menifee.
Policy LU-1.4: Preserve, protect, and enhance established rural,
estate, and residential neighborhoods by providing sensitive and well-
designed transitions (building design, landscape, etc.) between these
neighborhoods and adjoining areas.
Landscape design was carefully considered to buffer the Project Area
from land uses to the east while maintaining an appropriate transition
from the neighborhood to the west and the RV park to the south.
Building design standards were developed to provide a quality product
that is complementary of the traditional rural elements found in
Menifee, while also incorporating design elements that fit with newer
residential development.
Policy LU-1.5: Support development and land use patterns, where
appropriate, that reduce reliance on the automobile and capitalize on
multimodal transportation opportunities.
Proposed offsite improvements to the Specific Plan area will add a
multi-use trail along the project frontage on Briggs Road, and bicycle
lanes along the project frontage of Old Newport Road and Tres Lagos
Drive. Therefore, the Specific Plan is consistent with this goal.
LU-1.6 Coordinate land use, infrastructure, and transportation
planning and analysis with regional, county, and other local agencies
to further regional and sub-regional goals for jobs-housing balance.
This Specific Plan contributes to regional housing needs. However,
the coordination necessary to meet this goal lies with the broader
collaboration of the City of Menifee’s land use planning and
coordination with regional agencies.

LU-1.7 Ensure neighborhood amenities and public facilities (natural
open space areas, parks, libraries, schools, trails, etc.) are distributed
equitably throughout the City.
Developers and/or builders of the Rockport Ranch Specific Plan area
will contribute fees in compliance with the Quimby Act, the city’s park
fee ordinance, and the City’s Development Impact Fee ordinance and
will contribute school fees to Menifee Union School District and Perris
Union High School District. The city can then use those fees to
acquire and/or build public facilities throughout the city in compliance
with this General Plan goal.
LU-1.9 Allow for flexible development standards provided that the
potential benefits and merit of projects can be balanced with potential
impacts.
Development standards for this Specific Plan were in accordance with
the City of Menifee General Plan, and the County of Riverside’s
standards (as adopted by the City). In addition, as previously stated,
the intent of the Specific Plan is to allow for a degree of design
flexibility to respond to future conditions.
LU-3.1 Work with utility providers in the planning, designing, and siting
of distribution and support facilities to comply with the standards of the
General Plan and Development Code.
The developer of the Rockport Ranch Specific Plan area worked with
all appropriate utility providers to provide adequate facilities to support
the project. The design and placement of those utilities and facilities
complied with the city’s General Plan and Development Code.
LU-3.2 Work with utility providers to increase service capacity as
demand increases.
Appropriate capacity is available for the Specific Plan area. As part of
the Community Development Department’s typical entitlement review
process, the project was provided to and reviewed by the applicable
utility purveyors. Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) provided
a “will serve letter” dated March 12, 2018 for water and sewer
services.
LU-3.4 Require that approval of new development be contingent upon
the project’s ability to secure appropriate infrastructure services.
Developers of the Rockport Ranch Specific Plan area have secured
service availability confirmation and agreed to offsite improvements
for infrastructure services. Rockport Ranch will provide offsite
improvements to Briggs Road,
Old Newport Road, and Tres Lagos drive. The project is also required

to pay their fair share toward offsite improvements at the intersection
of Menifee Road and Newport Road and the intersection of Briggs
Road and Holland Road. These payments would satisfy their fair
share contribution to the city’s infrastructure improvements.
LU-3.5 Facilitate the shared use of right-of-way, transmission
corridors, and other appropriate measure to minimize the visual
impact of utilities infrastructure throughout Menifee.
Rockport Ranch worked with city and utility engineers to provide a
comprehensive utility and landscaping right-of-way plan, which
reduced visual impacts along Old Newport Road, Briggs Road, and
Tres Lagos Drive.
There are existing Southern California Edison (SCE) overhead lines
along Briggs Road and Old Newport Road. The existing SCE
overhead poles with two 12kV distribution lines and SCE
communication lines along Old Newport Road will be converted to
underground lines. The existing overhead poles with two 115 kV
transmission lines along Briggs Road (14 poles total) will be relocated
into the parkway behind the curb, gutter, and sidewalk. The
transmission lines and poles will remain overhead on the newly
relocated poles; however, the SCE distribution lines and SCE
communication lines will be converted to underground lines.
Policy C-1.1 Require roadways to:
o Comply with federal, state and local design and safety
standards.
o Meet the needs of multiple transportation modes and users.
o Be compatible with the streetscape and surrounding land
uses.
o Be maintained in accordance with best practices.
All roadway development within the Rockport Ranch Specific Plan,
and external roadways within rights-of-way, will comply with all local,
state, and federal design and safety standards. The Specific Plan
area has incorporated multi-modal transportation options and will be
compatible with surrounding land uses. Internal roads will be
maintained by the HOA. External roadways in rights-of-way will be
maintained by the city and/or county (i.e., easterly half of Briggs
Road).
Policy C-1.2 Require development to mitigate its traffic impacts and
achieve a peak hour Level of Service (LOS) D or better at
intersections, except at constrained intersections at close proximity to
the I-215 where LOS E may be permitted.

The development will mitigate its traffic impacts as required by
findings within the EIR prepared concurrently with the Specific Plan.
Traffic related mitigation measures are included within the Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program, which is an attachment to the EIR
resolution.
Policy C-1.3 Work with Caltrans, RCTC, and others to identify, fund,
and implement needed improvements to roadways identified in the
citywide roadway network.
The project developers will work with the required agencies to
contribute their fair-share improvements to local and regional
roadways affected by the development of the Specific Plan area.
Policy C-1.5 Minimize idling times and vehicle miles traveled to
conserve resources, protect air quality, and limit greenhouse gas
emissions.
The project location is close to Newport Road/Domenigoni Parkway
and I-215. The proximity of both roadways will reduce the miles
travelled and idle times for vehicle trips generated within the Specific
Plan area. Additionally, fair-share contributions and/or mitigation
requirements will be used to offset idling at key areas identified in the
EIR.
Policy C-2.1 Require on- and off-street pathways to:
o Comply with federal, state, and local design and safety
standards.
o Meet the needs of multiple types of users (families,
commuters, recreational beginners, exercise experts) and
meet ADA standards.
o Be compatible with the streetscape and surrounding land
uses.
o Be maintained in accordance with best practices.
All development within the Rockport Ranch Specific Plan, and
roadways within rights-of-way, will comply with all local, state, and
federal design and safety standards. This Specific Plan has
incorporated off-street pathways be compatible with surrounding land
uses and will be accessible to all users including ADA standards.
Internal pathways will be maintained by the HOA. External pathways
within rights-of-way will be maintained by the city with a developer
contribution to the city via a Community Facilities District.
Policy C-2.2 Provide off-street multipurpose trails and on-street bike
lanes as our primary paths of citywide travel and explore the shared
use of low-speed roadways for connectivity wherever it is safe to do
so.

Select improvements will add Community Trails and roadways. Tres
Lagos Drive will incorporate a Class II bike lane and Old Newport
Road will include a Class III bike route. Briggs Road will feature a
community trail.
Policy C-2.4 Explore opportunities to expand the pedestrian and
bicycle networks; this includes consideration of utility easements,
drainage corridors, road rights-of-way, and other potential options.
The project will implement the latest design and engineering
standards to develop pedestrian networks where feasible. The
Specific Plan will expand both the pedestrian and bicycle networks by
adding a pedestrian network throughout the project site, bike lanes
along Tres Lagos Drive and Old Newport Road, and a community trail
along Briggs Road.
Policy OSC-1.2 Require a minimum of 5 acres of public open space
be provided for every 1,000 city residents.
Developers of the Rockport Ranch Specific Plan will pay fees
according to the City of Menifee’s Municipal Code and Quimby
resolution setting the amount of Quimby Fees, or as subsequently
amended thereafter.
Policy OSC-1.7 Ensure that parks and recreational facilities are well-
maintained by the responsible agency.
The Rockport Ranch Specific Plan area will form an HOA to ensure
maintenance of private open space within the development. Open
space within public easements will be maintained by the City with a
contribution in the form of a fee paid by the developer and/or builder
to the City of Menifee via annexation into a Citywide Community
Facilities District (CFD).
Policy OSC-2.1 Develop recreational trails for hiking biking, and
equestrian use throughout the city, making them, to the extent
feasible, accessible to people of different neighborhoods, ages, and
abilities.
A multi-use community trail will be provided on Brigs Road along the
Specific Plan area’s frontage.
Policy OSC-2.9 Ensure safety along recreational trails through
appropriate lighting, signage, and other crime prevention through
environmental design (CPTED) strategies.
Safety features will be incorporated on internal and external trails.

Policy OSC-6.1 Protect both existing farms and sensitive uses around
them as agricultural acres transition to more developed land uses.
The proposed project is located on the site of a former operational
dairy. The existing site is not located within an agricultural preserve,
nor is the site under a Williamson Act contract. Exhibit OSC-5 of the
City of Menifee General Plan, Open Space Element shows the
existing agricultural land use as an infill site surrounded by residential
and recreational land uses to the north, south, and west. The
transition to the proposed Specific Plan zoning, which includes
residential and open space land uses will be a more appropriate use
of the land and is consistent with the existing land uses to the north,
south, and west. Therefore, the proposed transition to Specific Plan
area for residential and open space land uses does not conflict with
this policy.
Consistency with Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan
(MSHCP).
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 Project is not is
not located within a Criteria Area or Conservation Area, or adjacent to a
Criteria Area or Conservation Area, it is not subject to the Property Owner
Initiated Habitat Evaluation and Acquisition Negotiation Strategy (Section
6.1.1 of the MSHCP Guidelines), Urban/Wildlands Interface Guidelines
(Section 6.1.4 of the MSHCP Guidelines), or Fuels Management (Section
6.4 of the MSHCP Guidelines). Lastly, no riparian/riverine/vernal pool
resources are present; therefore, no analysis is required per Section 6.1.2
(Protection of Species Associated with Riparian/Riverine Areas and
Vernal Pools) of the MSHCP Guidelines.
The project will be subject to the payment of Stephens’ Kangaroo Rat Fee
and the MSHCP Mitigation Fee 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.
Consistency with Housing Element.
Housing Element has identified sites within the Specific Plan area that
meet the City’s affordable housing sites under the RHNA. Section
65863 of the Government Code prohibits cities from allowing their
inventory of available sites to be insufficient to meet their remaining
unmet RHNA share for lower and moderate-income housing. California
Government Code Section 65863 requires cities to make certain findings
that the remaining housing element sites can accommodate the RHNA
requirements by income level.

Page 9 of 13
The Menifee Housing Element states that General Plan designations in
the range of 20.1-24.0 dwelling units/acre can be used to meet the City’s
Very Low- and Low-income requirement of 2,495 units. The City has
designated a number of parcels with that residential density to both
vacant land and under-utilized sites in Romoland towards meeting the
Very Low and Low RHNA numbers for 2014-2021. All these parcels
provide for a total 3,063 potential units thereby exceeding the RHNA
criteria by 568 units. Implementation of the Project would not conflict with
the City’s ability to meet the affordable housing requirements due to the
extra capacity of potential sites in the City of Menifee. The Housing
Element assumes no residential units on the Project site as it is zoned for
Heavy Agriculture. The Project would develop 305 single-family
residences and would not demolish existing housing. Thus,
implementation of the Project would not conflict with the City’s ability to
meet the affordable housing sites as identified in the Housing Element.
The Project would be consistent with or otherwise would not conflict with
any of the adopted Housing Goals. Additionally, the Project would
provide 305 residential homes on lot sizes ranging from single-family
courtyard-type units to 5,000 sf to 7,500 sf in size, which would assist the
City in meeting its share of the Moderate and Above Moderate regional
housing need. The mix of single-family homes and courtyard residential,
with each type located in clusters of similar minimum lot sizes, equates to
a Plan area total of Medium Density Residential (MDR), 2.1-5 dwelling
units (DU)/acre. This Specific Plan must incorporate or otherwise not
hinder the following Housing Element goals HE-1: Housing Diversity, HE-
2: Neighborhood Quality, HE-3: Housing Assistance. To achieve these
goals the development plan for Rockport Ranch will include a variety of
unit styles, unit bedroom counts, home square footage, and lot sizes that
offer a range of economic opportunities to potential home buyers. An
assortment of single-family homes and single-family courtyard homes are
included in the Plan area to increase the homeownership opportunities for
all income levels and to help satisfy the requirements included within the
Housing Element.
Section 2: Consistency with the Zoning Code. The Tentative Tract Map is not
consistent with the zone designation map.
A change of zone (CZ 2016-288) has been submitted to change the
zoning of the site from Agriculture (AG) (formerly Heavy Agriculture – 10
Acre Minimum [A-2-10] prior to adoption of the City’s new Zoning Map) to
the Rockport Ranch Specific Plan (SP). The Specific Plan includes the
allowed uses and development standards applicable to property within
the Specific Plan. The Tentative Tract Map is consistent with the Specific
Plan allowed uses, development standards and design guidelines. The
proposed project is compatible with the surrounding zoning.

Section 3: Consistency with the Subdivision Ordinance Regulating the Division of
Land.
The Tentative Tract Map proposes to subdivide the Project area into 305
residential lots (totaling 38.4 acres of residential uses). Additional lots
(totaling 20.1 acres) are proposed for recreational uses, trails, and open
space areas. Internal roads and easements will comprise 21.2 acres.
Staff has reviewed and conditioned the subdivision for consistency with
subdivision ordinance requirements for lot sizes and dimensions, streets,
domestic water, fire protection, sewage disposal, and other applicable
requirements. The subdivision is consistent with the Subdivision
Ordinance requirements.
The tentative map does not propose to divide land which is subject to a
contract entered into pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act of
1965.
The design of the subdivision provides for future passive or natural
heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision to the extent feasible.
The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements will not
conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through
or use of property within the proposed subdivision and the design of the
alternate easements which are substantially equivalent to those
previously acquired by the public will be provided.
Section 4: The site is physically suitable for the type of development and the
proposed land use of the development.
Historically, a commercial dairy was located on the site. Operation of the
dairy ceased in 2014 and the buildings and infrastructure associated with
the dairy have since been removed. The topography of the Project site is
flat, and the elevation is approximately 1,440 feet above mean sea level.
Vegetation on the Project site is sparse and ruderal in nature. Several
basins approximately 5 feet to 20 feet in depth that were previously used
as settling ponds, are in the western and southwestern portions of the site
and collect storm water. Additionally, the site contains wells which are
located at the western and southern portion of the Specific Plan area and
create an opportunity to use the ponds as recreational open space
opportunities for the residential development. The pond areas will be
reconfigured into a large lake area, which will also be utilized as storm
water basins during rain events for flood protection of the site.
As discussed in Section 5, the proposed land uses are consistent with
adjacent existing or proposed land uses. The proposed density of the
tentative map is consistent with the Specific Plan and is reasonable
based on site and other constraints, including but not limited to
surrounding existing and planned roadway infrastructure. Therefore,

Page 11 of 13
given the relatively flat topography of the subject site and the nature of
land use designations that border the project, the site is physically
suitable for this type of development and the proposed density of the
development.
Section 5: The design of the subdivision and type of improvements are not likely to
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 Project site is bounded as follows: Old Newport Road and Tierra
Shores single-family residential development to the north; Wilderness
Lakes RV Resort to the south; The Lakes residential development to the
west; Briggs Road, Ramona Egg Ranch, and agricultural fields to the
east. The proposed Specific Plan is compatible with the surrounding land
uses. A General Plan Amendment and Change of Zone will be needed
for the Project to be consistent with land use designations and zoning
classifications. The Land Use Plan of the Specific Plan was designed to
ensure compatibility of proposed land uses with other established uses.
The project places residential uses adjacent to the existing residences
and recreational uses surrounding the site. The lot sizes and
development standards of the specific plan are consistent with
surrounding existing residential developments. The height, colors,
materials, and development fabric are consistent with the surrounding
development to the north, west and, somewhat to the south. The Project
will contrast with the rural agricultural uses to the east in terms of the
development fabric. When placed in the context of the development to
the north, west, and south, and utilizing Briggs Road as an “urban growth
limit” of the City, the Project is appropriate in its location.
The Project will provide enhanced landscaping along roads that border
the Project, including Old Newport Road, Briggs Road, Tres Lagos Road,
and Laguna Vista Drive, including new entryway monuments, masonry
walls, and plants suited to local soils and climate. Trails in the Plan area
have been designed to link the community to the adjacent streets outside
of the Specific Plan with two access points connecting to Briggs Road,
one access point to Old Newport Road, and one access point to Tres
Lagos Drive. In addition, the lighting plans will be reviewed to ensure
shielding and acceptable light levels at these adjacent uses. The Land
Use Plan of the Specific Plan was designed to ensure compatibility of
proposed land uses with other established uses. The project places
residential parcels adjacent to the existing residences surrounding the
site. The lot sizes and development standards of the specific plan and
incorporated into the tentative tract map design are consistent with
surrounding existing residential developments. The proposed Tentative
Tract Map, which implements the Rockport Ranch Specific Plan, is
compatible with the surrounding land uses.

The Tentative Tract Map will not result in conditions detrimental to the
public health, safety, or general welfare as designed and conditioned.
The map has been reviewed and conditioned by the City of Menifee
Community Development, Engineering, Building and Safety and Fire
Departments to ensure that it will not create conditions materially
detrimental to the surrounding uses. Conditions of approval include
compliance with the Specific Plan standards which include substantial
landscaping, park and other amenities to support the proposed residential
component, roadway improvements consistent with the General Plan, a
network of bike lanes to encourage non-vehicular travel, fire
infrastructure, and drainage improvements that will benefit the project site
and surrounding areas.
In addition, environmental impacts resulting from the Tentative Tract Map
have been analyzed in an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The EIR
determined that potential impacts would all be less than significant with
the necessary mitigation incorporated, except for significant and
unavoidable impacts to Air Quality. A Statement of Overriding
Considerations is included for the EIR stating that the impacts of the
project are acceptable and outweighed by the benefits of the project. With
the exception of Air Quality, the proposed entitlements are 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.
Section 6: Compliance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Processing and approval of the tentative tract map application are in
compliance with the requirements of CEQA.
An Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) has been completed for the
project and recommended for certification by the City Council pursuant to
a separate Resolution. The potential environmental impacts of the
maximum development permitted by the Tentative Tract Map at issue
have been analyzed in the EIR, which the Planning Commission has
considered as part of its proceedings. The EIR includes a finding made
pursuant to Cal. Pub. Res. Code Section 21081 (a)(3) that specific
economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible mitigation
measures or project alternatives identified in the environmental impact
report.
NOW, THEREFORE, The Planning Commission of the City of Menifee
recommends to the City Council the following:
1. That the City Council determine that the Findings set out above are true
and correct.
2. That the City Council finds that the facts presented within the public
record and within the Planning Commission Resolution provide a basis to
