The adopted Menifee General Plan and 2021-2029 Housing Element Update are herein referred to as components of the "Approved project.,, By providing the necessary regulatory and design guidance, the Menifee GP EIR and the Menifee HEU EIR ensure that future development oi parcels within Menifee implements the goals and policies of the city of Menifee's General plan. The proposed city of Menifee General plan Amendment (GpA) and change of zone (coz) project (herein referred to as the "project," or "proposed project") is a city initiative to expand the e;istin8 Economic Development Corridor Community Core (EDC-CC) in the southern portion of Menifee from Garbani Road to scott Road and update the definition of the Business park (Bp) land use designation. The COZ would facilitate the application of the expanded EDC-CC to ensure consistency with the proposed General plan land use designation for the subject parcels. The project does not include any proposed physical development. only changes to the General plan and Municipal code text and maps to update the land use designations would take prace. see section 2.0, project Description, for a detailed description ofthe proposed project. The purpose of this Addendum is to analyze any potential differences between the impacts identified in the Approved project (Menifee General plan and the 2021-2029 Housing Element update) for the city's General plan and those that would be associated with the proposed eroject (GPA and COz). Pursua nt to provisions of CEeA and Stote CEeA Guidetines, the City is the Lea j Agency charged with the responsibility of deciding whether to approve implementation of the proposed Proiect. As part of its decision-making process, the City is required to review and consider whether the proposed project would create new significant impacts or significant impacts that would be substantially more severe than those of the Approved project, as disclosed in the Gp EIR and HEU ElR. AdditionalcEeA review beyond this Addendum would be required only if the proposed Project created new significant impacts or impacts that are more severe than those of the Approved Project as disclosed in the HEU EIR and the Gp ErR. To use an Addendum as the appropriate CEQA document for the proposed project, the city must find that major revisions to the Final EIR are not necessary and that none ofthe conditions described in stote CEQA Guidelines section 15162 requiring preparation of additionar cEeA documentation have occurred.

The Menifee General plan contains long-term forecasts, development goals and strategies, displays, and illustrations. tt directs the city's growth and development by identifying land uses in the proposed land use map and implementing the Menifee General plan's goals and principles. rt also provides a long-term vision for the city and shows how that vision may be realized over time through its implementation goals and policies.6 Figure 3 in section 2.3, project components, shows the existing distribution of land use that would be implemented upon the projected buildout of the Menifee General plan with the expanded Economic Development corridor scenario that was analyzed with the Approved project. Land use designations define the amount, type, and nature of future development that is allowed in any given location of Menifee. Table 1.A shows the General plan based on the projected buildout for non-residential square footage and employment of each land use designation based on a range of allowable non-residential intensities (expressed as floor area ratio [FAR]). Buildout of the proposed Land Use plan is projected to accommodate 63,754 dwelling units and 158,94g residents. with the expansion of the roc-land use designation, the Approved project projected 2,437 acres of Eoc land uses, 5.1-1g.0 dwelling units per acre, 0.23-{.38 FAR, ro,o49 popurataon increase,3,774,L67 square feet (sf) of retair, 28,281,889 sf of non-retail, totaling 32,056,056 sf of EDC land use for the City.

The General Plan component of the Approved project was certified by the Gp EIR prior to the 2019 CEQA statute and Guidelines update in December 2018. This Addendum includes three resource topics that were not previously evaluated in detail in the Gp EIR of the Approved project but that warrant analysis now due to current regulatory guidance outlined in the stofe cEeA Guidetines. These topics include energy, wildfire, and tribal cultural resources. The GP EIR included an anarysis of energy impacts under chapter 5, section 5.1 (Aesthetics) and section 5.7 (Greenhouse Gas); however, that analysis was based on Appendix G of the cEeA statute and Guidelines at that time. The information in section 5.7 0f the Gp EtR is used to provide an analytical comparison on energy between the Approved project and proposed project based on the 2022 cEQA statute and Guidelines Energy Thresholds. Additionally, The Gp EtR included wildfire analysis under chapter 5, section 5.8 (Hazard/Hazardous Materials), section 5.14 (public services), and Section 5.15 (Transportation and rraffic); however, that analysis was based on Appendix G of the CEQA Statute and Guidelines at that time. The information in sections 5.g, 5.15, and 5.16 0f the GP EIR is used to provide an analytical comparison on wildfire between the Approved project andproposed Project based on the 2022 CEeA Statute and cuidelines Wildfire Thresholds. The GP EIR of the Approved Project does not include analysis of Vehicle Miles Traveled or Tribal Cultural Resources pursuant to Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, as amended, nor does the Gp EIRor Addendum No. 1 reflect the current 6th cycle of the city,s RHNA. ln order to ensure the Approved Proiect reflects environmental conditions based on the most current, applicable baseline, thii fourth Addendum applies not only to the Menifee GP EIR but also to the HEU ElR. section 3.1 below provides a summary table of the conclusions for both the Gp EIR and HEU EIR as compared to the proposed Project. 1.3 MENIFEE 2O2I-2O29 HOUSING ETEMENT Per california Government code sections 65580 - 055g9.11, also referred to as the california Housing Law, jurisdictions are required to maintain and update Housing Elements within their 1-6 H\citvCl.

Furthermore, california Government code sections o55gH55g9.g require that jurisdictions evaluate their Housing Elements every g years. The city council adopted the 6th cycle, 2027-2029 Housing Element Update on December 15, 2021 and certified the HEU EIR via Resolution No.21-1111. The city prepared an update to the Housing Element, which included updated goals and policies intended to increase the city's housing potential to address the growing housing scarcity in the state. The HEU component of the Approved project would provide the city with a coordinated and comprehensive strate8y for promoting the production of safe, decent, and affordable housing for all within Menifee. The HEU was prepared to ensure the city establishes policies, procedures, and incentives in its land use planning and development activities that result in maintenance and expansion of the housing supply to adequately accommodate households currently living and expected to live in Menifee. The HEU consists of four chapters intended to summarize the existing status of the city's communities, the city's existang housing strategy, and provide updated policies to be implemented for the 6th cycle. The state Department of Housing and community Development (HcD) determines Regional Housing Needs Assessments (RHNA) for all metropolitan planning organizations (Mpos) statewide to aid the state in reducing its present housing crisis, in which inhabitants face a scarcity of housinB units. HCD authorizes 195 jurisdictions in the Southern california Association of Governments (scAG) region, including Menifee. HcD approved scAc,s RHNA allocation methodology. The city's RHNA allotment was determined as G,G09 dwelling units, based on SCAG's final adopted RHNA allocation. The HEU also updated other elements in the General Plan. The following summarizes these updates. o Land Use Element Update o ldentify and develop patterns for future growth o Evaluate uses to ensure land for residential, commercial, industrial and public facilities o Review land use policies for conflicts with new housing legislation and Zoning standards o Safety Element Update H:\Gtv cl.rkUs.id.t\citv couiEll Aa.nd.3\city council aa.nd.r 2023\2023-o 1-lE ctty cosncit AGndr\sttn.turctU 1.2.1 Erhibit A - Add.ndu m.dod (o 1/17l23) L_7 LSA Griru( Pt^0 AMrNoMrrr ^ro cHAr{cr oE zorir prolrcr Mtirrr., C^tlroiNr^ ADDrnouM ro rHr MrNtrrr Grr!iAr pral ErvtioftMrNr^! lMp^cr REporr aro 2021-2029 tioustt6 ElrMrilr u p o^rr ExvnorMEr{r^r lrrracr Rrporr roi pr^tr{rN6 c^sr NuM6ri5 21- 0404 ^no 21- 0405 OcTorri 202 2 for housing, commercial, industrial, and public facility uses. The analysis in the HEU EIR aided in the identification of potential land use conflicts and provided an opportunity to make any necessary adjustments as part of the Housing Element update, ensuring internal Housing Element update consistency. General Plan Amendments were proposed for the rezoning of select lots to higher development densities, such as High Density Residential (HDR), with these modifications rellected in the updated Land Use Element and Land Use Map. changes to the land use and zoning designation of parcels identified for the HEU were codified through an update to the City's Land Use Element. Parcels identified as candidate housing sites in the HEU would be subject to land use designation changes to allow for a higher residentiJl development density. The General plan Land use Element update also included the proposed land use amendment of48 parcels within the EDc-cc from EDc-cc to RR-1. The zone change request does not include any deveropment proposar or removar of existing residentiar structures. The remainder of the EDc-cc will be unaffected by the amendment. This EDc-cc region encompasses roughly 392 acres, of which 66 acres (48 parcels) are proposed for rezoning. with the exception of infrastructure, road and sidewalk upgrades, and existing structures, redevelopment of the 4g properties (about 66 acres) with an RR-1 desiBnation would allow for around 6G units. Residential (25 percent), commerciar retair (10 percent), commercial office (35 percent), and business park development are all encouraged under the present EDc-cc zoning (30 percent). The RR-l designation of the plots would allow for the development of single-family homes on a 1-acre minimum lot size. The change in zoning in the HEU excluded aI other non-resadential uses, except as otherwisepermitted by the Development code. The rezoning of the 4g EDc-cc parcels would be consistent with the existing established low density rural residential character of the area. The remainder ofthe EDc-cc was unaffected by the amendment. Additional updates to the city,s EDc land use policies would remove the 15 percent residential limitation placed on the land use type and would amend the EDC Subarea use descriptions and preferred use mix. The General Plan safety Element was also updated to address any relevant safety issue to reduce the potential short and long-term risk to the public from fires, floods, droughts, earthquakes, landslides, climate changes and other hazards. The city analyzed existing policies and programs to help identify and develop policies directing resources to disadvantaged communities to improve health, recreation, and economic mobirity through creaner air, better access to transportation, education, and employment. Environmental justice policies will be provided in future Elements ofthe General Plan, where appropriate. Environmental justice policles were also proposed in the HEU to ensure the equitable distribution of resources to disadvantaged communities to improve health, recreation, and economic mobility through cleaner air, better access to transportation, education, and employment. 1-8 H:\chvcle \Aseid.s\c]!vcouic As.nder\citvco!n.ilAa.nd.!2023\2023-01-lacitvcou..ilAt.nd.\siinit!..s\r1.2.1ErhibitA.add.nduft.docx(01/17123, A0orNouM ro rHr Mr rrrr G rrR^r pt^r E vrRorMr r^! lMp^cr Rrporr aro 2021-2029 HousrrG €!rMrir upD^Tr ErvrionMrNrat tMp^cr RrpoRr ron pr^Nrrxc C^sr NuMsrRs 21- 04o4 a D 21-0405 Gr rBAr Prar AMrNoMr{r ^No Cx^fl6€ or Zo r pRorrcr MENITTT, CATIfORNIA LSA 2.I INTRODUCTION The city of Menifee (city) proposes to initiate a General plan Amendment (GpA) (pLN 21-0404) and change of Zone (coz) (pLN 21-0405) in the southern portion of Menifee (herein referred to as the "Prcject," or "proposed Project"). The GpA would expand the existing Economic Development corridor community Core (EDC-CC) in the southern portion of Menifee from Garbani Road to Scott Road and update the definition ofthe Business park (Bp) land use designation. The coz would facilitate the application of EDC-CC in the southern portion of Menifee from Garbani Road to Scott Road by rezoning specific parcels from Economic Development corridor - southern Gateway (EDc- SG) to EDc-cC to be consistent with the proposed General Plan land use designation for the subject parcels. The Project site is within the Economic Development corridor land use designation and would convert 533.87 acres of land from EDc-southern Gateway (EDc-sG) to EDc-community core (EDc- cc).8 Table 2.A summarizes the existing (EDc-sG) and proposed (EDc-cc) mix of land use for each suba rea. 2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION Table 2.A: Mix of Land Use for Subareas in the EDc Land Use Mixl EDC-SG ED-CC Difference of % of Mix r.rith proposed Proiectl Residential 10%20%+lO% Commercial Retail 70%+20% CommercialOffice 70%40%+30% Business Park 70%!0%-60% Total too%100% Source: General Pla n tand Use Element, pp. 3H0. (City of lvlenifee, December 2012). Notes: ThrouSh consultation with City Staff, this analysis applies a residential density of 22 dwelling units per acre as veftical mixed use for resid entia I develo pm ent and floor-to-area (FAR) rations of 0.23 for commercial retail, 0.35 for commercial office, and 0.38 for business park (refer to Table LIJ_ 3 in the Land Use Elementofthe Menifee Generalplan).1 Based on conversion of533.87 acres from EDC-SG to EDC,CC. As shown in Table 2.A above, the proposed project would increase development potential of 533.g7 acres (28 parcels) within Menifee to develop commercial retail, commercial office, and residential while decreasing business park/light industrial in the Economic Development Core. The proposed Project, similar to the Approved project, does not include any physical development, but rather includes provisions that would allow for future development in accordance with designated land uses and zoning for subject properties.

As such, a density of 22 dwelling units/acre was applied for the residential uses and FARs of 0 .23, o.3s, and 0.38 were applied for the commercial retail, commercial office, and business park uses, respectively. These densities were multiplied with the respective acreages to obtain the number of projected residential dwelling units and non-residential square footages for the different uses.

The majority of the project site is vacant and undeveloped with the exception of a few developments. These developments include Louie's Nursery & Landscape Materials lnc (plant nursery) at 27985 wickerd Road, All star super Storage (self-storage) at 32456 Haun Road, and the Frontier Communications Corporation plant yard at 32477 Haun Road. The communications plant yard consists of office uses and a large surface parking lot and a storaBe area for equipment. These developments are adjacent to each other in the center-west portion of the Project site at the intersection of wickerd Road and Haun Road (see Figure 2). ln August 2022, the City contracted Kosmont Companies to conduct an office market analysis for its city boundaries. The market analysis included an inventory of Menifee's demographics including population, educational attainment, and income as well as inventory of Menifee's current job and housing setting. There is a current imbalance of the jobs-to-housing ratio such that Menifee sees a significant net outflow of workers commuting to work locations in other communities.e The Menifee office market continues to grow related to population growth in the region, and the vacancy rate is very low at 1.4 percent.l0 The state's population growth has declined by 0.4 percent, while Riverside county,s population growth is at 3 percent and Menifee's population has grown 1g percent.ll workers who live in Menifee are primarily employed in the health care, accommodation/food service, education, retail trade, and construction sectorsl2 and approximately 50 percent of these residents work in office-related industriesl3 while 53 percent of employees [from other communities] who work in Menifee work in office-related industries. Menifee has approximately 445,000 square feet (sf) of office space with the following locations being the largest: Menifee Police Department (29774 Haun Road) (approximately 74,900 sf), currently occupied by the City of Menifee. Medical Arts Plaza (29799 Haun Road) (approximately 61,000 sf), home to a variety of small medical office tenants. r Medical Plaza (29826 Haun Road) (approximately 56,000 sf), home to a variety of small medica I office, realestate, and professional service tenants. Office development in the area is centered along tnterstate 15 (t-15) and l-215, with larger properties (more than 50,000 sf) at the t-15/l-215 split in Murrieta and the t-15 area in Temecula. other office development in Menifee is primarily along the l-15 and l-215.

This evaluation includes a determination whether the changes proposed for the project would result in any new significant impacts or a substantial increase in a previously identified significant impact. Although Stote cEQA Guidelines section 15154 does not stipulate the format or content of an Addendum, the topical areas identified in the General Plan EIR and the Housing Element Update EtR plus "energy", "tribalcultural resources,,, and ,,wildfire,, topical areas, are the environmental factors evaluated in this Addendum. This comparative analysis provides the City with the factual basis for determining whether any changes in the proposed project, any changes in circumstances, or any new information since the General plan EIR and the Housing Element update EIR were certified would require additional environmental review or preparation of a Subsequent EIR or Supplemental E IR. 4-7 Pursuant to Section 15162 0f the stote CEQA Guidetines, the city has determined, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, that the proposed project does not propose substantial changes to the Menifee General plan and the 202!-2029 Housing Element update (Approved Project), no substantial changes in circumstances would occur that would require major revisions to the General Plan EIR and the Housing Element update ElR, and no new information of substantial importance has been revealed since the certification of General plan EIR and the Housing Element Update EIR that would result in either new significant effects or an increase in the severity of previously analyzed significant effects. A Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting program (MMRp) was adopted as part of the Menifee General Plan EIR and Housing Element update EtR that minimized impacts associated with implementation of the Approved Project. The previously adopted mitigation measures applicable to the proposed Project that would be prescribed as conditions ofthe project and the MMRp, as applicable to the proposed Project, are contained in Section 7.0 of this document.

Scenic vistas provide views of these features from public spaces. At full General pla n buildout, development in many parts of Menifee would intensify urban uses in currently undeveloped areas. Portions of Menifee that are currently vacant land or farmland would be developed with a mix of residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional uses. However, implementation of the approved General Plan is not expected to degrade views of scenic resources in the city.

(Gp EIR tmpact 5.1-2, HEU EtR lmpact 4.1-2) 4.1.2.1 Approved Project lmpact Analysis Menifee General Plan ElR. The General plan EIR did not identifo any designated state scenic Highways in or near Menifee. The nearest designated state scenic highway, which is a portion of state Route (sR-) 74 that runs through the san Jacinto Mountains, is approximately 17 miles east of Menifee. There are three county of Riverside Eligible Scenic Highways in Menifee that include lnterstate-215 (l-215) from Mccall Boulevard south to the city boundary, Mccall Boulevard from l-215 on the west to Menifee Road on the east, and Menifee Road from Mccall Boulevard north to the city boundary. New uses along these roadways would not completely obstruct visual resources, as allowed uses in these areas would be regulated by the Municipal code development standards, City Design cuidelines, and the proposed General plan policies. Policies referenced in General plan EIR chapter 5.1give substantial consideration to the preservation of scenic resources, including those that protect undisturbed slopes, hillsides, and other natural landforms that enhance Menifee's environmental setting. These policies are detailed in the General Plan's Community Oesign Element and Open Space and Conservation Element.l6 Since the eligible roadways are not officially designated as state scenic Highways, the General plan EtR analysis determined impacts related to scenic resources within view of designated scenic roadways would be less than significant. Menifee Housing Element update ElR. The Menifee Housing Element update EIR also did not identify any state Scenic Highways within or near Menifee. views from eligible scenic highways within Menifee would significantly change because vast open spaces would be developed ani views of low-lying valleys, mountains, and rock formations would be obstructed.

However, future development facilitated through implementation ofthe proposed project could alter scenic views adjacent to scenic roadways in Menifee. As previously discussed, there are no official designated State Scenic Highways within the city. The nearest officially designated state scenic Highway is a portion of sR-74 in ihe san Jacinto Mountains approximately 25 miles east of the project site.18 As mentioned above, the City has identified scenic corridors within Menifee. The Project site is along the scenic corridor l-215, the nearest scenic corridor to the site. The Housing Element Update would facilitate future development of 8,595 dwelling units in Menifee through adoption of development provisions and standards, but it does not includ; direct physical development of any dwelling units. However, lz candidate sites of the Housing Element updite are adjacent to eli8ible scenic highways or scenic corridors. The HEU EIR determined that the candidate housing sites would be built out consistently with development in the surrounding areas projected by the GP. These housing sites would be subject to compliance with updated goali, policies, and development standards ofthe Menifee Housing Element update and ritle 9 (planning and Zoning) of the city Municipalcode, which are designed to ensure cohesive development and compatibility between land uses. updated goals and policies of the Housing Element (Goal HE-1 and HE policy 1.7) would ensure impacts to scenic resources remain less than significant. Approved Project Mitigation Measures. No mitigation measures were identified in the Menifee General Plan EIR or the Menifee Housing Element Update ElR. 4.1.2.2 Proposed Project lmpact Analysis resources and vistas as seen from public vantaBe points along the three scenic corridors (l-215, Scott Road, and Menifee Road) in proximity to the proposed project site. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in new or more severe environmental impacts concerning scenic resources within a state scenic highway and local scenic highway than anticipated for the Approved project. Proposed Proiect Mitigation Measures. No mitigation is required. 4,L.3 Threshold c: would the project, in non-urbanized areas, substantially degrade the existing visual character of the site and its surroundings? (Public views are those that are experienced from publicly accessible vantage point). lf the project is in an urbanized area, would the project conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality? (Gp EIR tmpact 5.1-3, HEU EIR tmpact 4.1-3) 4.1.3.1 Approved Project tmpact Analysis Menifee General Plan ElR.The General Plan planning area includes both urban and non-urbanized areas. The General Plan EIR determined that buildout assumed under the General plan would result in the intensification of urban development in currently undeveloped, non-urbanized areas. Vacant portions of Menifee, including existing farmland, would be developed with a mix of residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional uses. As mentioned above, the visual condition of the planning area is characterized by gently sloping alluvial fans, rugged mountains and steep slopes, rounded hills with boulder outcrops, mountain peaks and ridges, farmland, and open space. scenic vistas provide views of these features from public spaces, Many of the scenic resources are outside the city limits and beyond the planning area boundary. scenic views from Menifee include the san Bernardino Mountains to the north, the san Gabriel Mountains to the northwest, san Jacinto Mountains to the northeast and east, and the santa Ana Mountains to the west and southwest. Development is concentrated in the northern portion of Menifee. With implementation of General Plan policies related to scenic vistas and adherence to the Municipal Code, impacts from the General Plan component of the Approved Project would not substantially degrade scenic quality in Menifee and would be less than significant.

(Gp ErR rmpact s.r-4, HEU EIR lmpact 4.1-4) 4.1.4.1 Approved Pro.iect tmpact Analysis Menifee General Plan ElR. The General Plan EIR determined that buildout associated with the General Plan would result in an increase in nighttime light and glare within Menifee, because the city itself and surrounding areas are largely undeveloped. New development or redevelopment would incorporate lighting needed to provide nighttime street and building illumination. These lighting features would include security lighting, nighttime traffic, sign illumination, and lighting associated with construction activities. The General Plan EIR determined that views from the Mount Palomar Observatory in San Diego County would also be affected. All future development projects that would be accommodated by the General plan would be required to comply with california's Building Energy Efficiency standards for Residential and Nonresidential Buildings (Title 24, part 6, of the california code of Regulations), which outlines mandatory provisions for lighting control devices and luminaires. All future development projects would also comply with chapter 6.01 0f the city's municipal code to reduce light pollution.r3 Adherence to County of Riverside and City regulations and implementation of General plan policies would ensure that light, glare, and associated impacts to nighttime views, that would occur with new development and redevelopment projects implemented under the General plan would be minimized and that this impact would be less than significant. Menifee Housing Element Update ElR. The Menifee Housing Element Update EIR determined2a that development of candidate sites may result in the addition of new sources of light and glare through installation of parking area lighting, light glow from windows, doors, and accent lighting. Applicable requirements related to light and glare include the california Green Building standards code (part 11 of Title 24), the Menifee ceneral plan, and Menifee Municipal code section 9.210.060. Fuiure housing development wourd arso compry with Menifee Municipar code section 9.210.070(A)(outdoor lighting plan) which requires detailed descriptions of the location of all proposed outdoor lighting fixtures, including their elevation and the portion of the area to be illuminated by each lighting fixture. lt was also determined in the Housing Element update EtR that policy updates associated with Envrronmental Justice and safety Elements would not affect the city;s visual character. Adhering to these requirements, the Housing Erement update component would notgenerate a new source of substantial light or glare. Additionally, implementation of Goal HE_1 and HE Policy 1.7, identified above in section 4.1.1.1, and HE poricy 1.2 and HE policy 2.2, identified above in section 4.1.3.1, would ensure impacts regarding light and glare would remain less thansignificant The Planning center, Dc&E. 2013. city of Menifee Draft Environmentar lmpact Report, Menifee Generar Plan.

The existing setting of the project site is mostly vacant/undeveloped with the exception of a self-storage facility, a plant nursery, and a parking lot and there is very little existing lighting throughout the project area. As future development applications are proposed, design review would ensure projects would be developed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the california Building coo" 1ritt" zay. Future development also would be subject to Title 9 (planning and Zoning), Section 9.210.060, and Section 9.210.070(4) of the City Municipal Code in conjunction with site specific evaluation pursuant to CEQA, as well as Goal HE-1 (policy 1.7) and Goal HE-2 (policies 2.1 and 2.2) of the HEU EtR to minimize impacts related to light and glare. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in new or more severe environmental impacts concerning light and glare than anticipated for the Approved Project.

Menifee Housing Element update ErR. The Menifee Housing Element update ErR determined thatthere are no candidate sites that contain unique farmland. only one candidate housing site (Rockport Ranch Specific Plan) contains prime farmland or farmland of statewide importance but has previously been approved by the city.'z7 Additiona[y, the Housing Erement, Land use Erement and Environmental Justice Element policy updates in thls component of the Approved prolect wouldnot affect Menifee's farmrand or forestry resources.

Ultimately, the proposed Project would result in similar impacts to state-designated farmlands as identified for the Approved project, and no new or more severe environmenta I impacts would occur. Proposed Project Mitigation Measures. No mitigation is required. 4.2.2 Threshold B: would the project conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or a Williamson Act contract? (Gp EIR tmpact 5 .2-2, HEU EIR tmpact 4.2_2) 4.2.2.1 Approved Proiect tmpact Analysis ln 1955, the state enacted the california Land conservation Act, more commonly known as the williamson Act (Government code section 51230 et seq,).31The williamson Act provides tax incentives for landowners who enter contracts with the local government for long-term use restrictions on agricultural and open space land for qualifying properties. property owners commit their land to farming for a minimum of 10 years and, in return, receive tax benefits based on their agricultural production rather than on the property's market value. contracts are automatically renewed unless a notice of nonrenewal is issued. Menifee General Plan ElR. The General plan EtR identified 77 acres of lands (4 parcels) under Williamson Act contracts, all of which have filed nonrenewal of their contracts upon completion of their 10-year commitment. All parcels went into nonrenewal status in 2007, meaning their contracts expired on January 1, 2017. complete development of the General plan would not t;ke place until 40 more years and thus would not require termination of the contracts.32 However, The General Plan was found to conflict with the Menifee zoning code as the code includes six separate designations for agriculture land while the General plan only includes one agriculture land use designation under which all but one parcel in Menifee would be changed. Because there are agricultural zoning conflicts, this impact is considered significant and unavoidable. Menifee Housing Element update EtR, The Menifee Housing Element update EIR determined that the city's williamson Act contracts were removed in 2007 and would therefore not apply at the time aoDrnouM ro rHr Mr rrrr Gr rn^r pr^r EnvrIo MrrrAr rMp^cr Rfporr ^iD 2021-2029 Hou'lnc Er!Mr r uro^rrErvrionur r^r tMp^cr Rrpolr roR pr^r r 6 C^5.

Additionally, it was found that none of the candidate sites are under a Williamson Act contract. Additionally, the Housing Element Update would facilitate future development of 8,696 dwelling units in Menifee through adoption of development provisions and standards, but it does not include direct physical development of any dwelling units. Future housing development facilitated by buildout of the Menifee Housing Element Update would be subject to compliance with updated goals, policies, and development standards of the Menifee Housing Element update, as well as Title 9 (planning and zoning) of the city M unicipal code, which a re designed to ensure cohesive development and compatibility between land uses. Therefore, it was concluded by the Housing Element update ElR, that because no candidate sites would be on land subject to Williamson Act contracts, no impacts would occur.33 Approved Project Mitigation Measures. No mitigation measures were identified in the Menifee General Plan EIR or the Menifee Housing Element Update ElR. 4.2.2.2 Ptoposed Project tmpact Analysis Although the General Plan EIR concluded properties within the city that are subject to the williamson Act would be developed for non-agricultural uses, there are no such properties subject to williamson Act contracts on the proposed project site or immediate vicinity.1 Neither theproposed Project site nor adjacent properties are zoned for agricultural use. Because the proposed Project would not result in a change to any agricultural zoning or convert land under a Williamson Act contract to a non-agricultural use, the proposed project would not result in new or more severe environmental impacts concerning williamson Act contracts than anticipated for the Approved Project.

Considering the economic and re8ulatory constraints on the viability of agriculture in western Riverside county, it is also uncertain whether offsite mitigation within western Riverside county would be effective as a long-term mitigation strategy. Given this uncertainty of the permissibility of this method of mitigation, no offsite mitigation is req uired here for conversion of farmland to non-agricultural uses. Similar to the County of Riverside finding, the conversion of farmland in Menifee is considered a significant and unavoidable impact of the General plan project.40 Thus, development a nd implementation of the General Plan would convert existing State-designated farmlands to non-agricultural use; therefore, impacts are considered significant and unavoidable. a1 Menifee Housing Element update EtR. see discussions under sections 4.2.1 through 4.2.4.

(Gp EtR lmpact S.3-1, HEU EIR tmpact 4.3_1) 4.3.1.1 Approved Project lmpact Analysis Menifee General Plan ElR. The analysis in the General Plan EIR determined that implementation of the General Plan would not be consistent with the applicable Air euality Management plan (AQMP)44, because the projected buildout of Menifee and associated construction and operational activities would result in a cumulative contribution to the nonattainment status of ozone (or) (due to volatile organic compound [voc] and nitrogen oxides INoy] emissions), carbon monoxide ico),particulate matter equal to or less than 10 microns in diameter (pMro) and particulate mattei equal to or less than 2.5 microns in diameter (pM2.s) pollutants within the South Coast Air Basin. Additionally, growth beyond 2035 associated with the buildout of the General plan was not included in the regional emissions inventory at the time. Therefore, the proposed project was determined to be inconsistent with the AQMP, resulting in a significant unavoidable impact. tmpacts would also be the same under the Expanded EDC scenario, requiring future projects as a result of the General plan South Coast Air Quality Management District. 2012.

Mitigation measures that may be identified during the environmental review include, but are not limited to: to adhere to Mitigation Measure 3-1 of the General plan ElR.4s Goals and policies referenced in General Plan EIR Chapter 5.1 give substantialconsideration to reduce impacts to air quality at the local level by minimizing pollution and particulate matter. These policies are detailed in the General Plan Open Space and Conservation Element. aE Menifee HousinS Element update ErR The Approved Housing Element update 2021-2029 (HEU) component does not include any physical changes to the city that could have an immediate impict on Menifee's air quarity or regional air quality. Rather, the HEU recommends a number of regulatory adjustments to the city's Generar pran.47 The HEU components, therefore, do not modify the adopted air quality plans or directly conflict with the established air quality standards adopted for both Menifee and the region. Additionally, the updated goals and policies from the Housing Element, Land use Element, and Environmental Justice Element additions would maintain thepotential impacts to a level of less than significant as concluded in the Housing Element update Final Program Environmental rmpact Report (HEU ErR). The proposed policies for the safety element update Include: Goal s-7: A community that has protected its sensitive structures, functions, and populations from the risks associated with climate change. Policy s-7.1: continue to require environmentar anarysis for proposed projects which may produce harmful levels of greenhouse gas.

The existing setting of the project site is mostly vaca nt/undeveloped with the exception of a self- storage facility, plant nursery, and a parking lot. The proposed project would update the definition of the Business Park (BP) land use designation to remove distribution-related warehouse uses aspermitted uses withln Bp designated land in Menifee. Furthermore, the proposed land use amendment and change of zone of 533.87 acres of Economic Development corridor - southern Gateway (EDc-sG) land to Economic Development corridor - community core (EDc-cc) land in the southern portion of Menifee would serve to establish consistency between these parcels pursuant to California Government Code Section E5g6O. The proposed Project would change the approved mix of land uses related to residential from 10percent to 20 percent, commercial retail from 10 percent to 30 percent, commercial office from L0percent to 40 percent, and business park from 70 percent to 10 percent.

This includes fewer emissions in reactive organic gases, NOx, CO, sulfur oxides (SOx), pMlo, and pMu.s. Additionally, there is a current imbalance of the jobs-to-housing ratio such that Menifee sees a significant net outflow of workers commuting to work locations in other communities.4s The Menifee office market continues to grow related to population growth in the region, and the vacancy rate is very low at 1.4 percent.4e The state's population growth has declined -0.4 percent with Riverside county's population growth at 3 percent while Menifee,s population has giown tg percent.s0 The south Riverside county lndustrial submarket has approximately 1.7 million square feet (sf) of flex industrial inventory, with Menifee having approximately 2,400 sf of this share. workers who live in Menifee are primariry emproyed in the hearth care, accommodation/food service, education, retail trade, and construction sectorssl and approximately 50 percent of these residents work in office-related industriess2 while 53 percent of employees (from other communities) who work in Menifee work in office-related industries. Thus, the proposed project would provide a balance ofjobs to residents of Menifee with both the "rp..t.i population jrowth and job market. A balanced jobs-to-housing ratio contributes to the reduction in regionalveiicle miles traveled and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions identified in the Southern California Association of Governments Regional Transportation plan and AeMp. Additionally, Menifee,s shortest drive times include uses along the freeway corridor in the EDC-cc.s3 Therefore, with the proposed project increasing commerciar retair and commerciar office uses in conjunction with residentiar development potential by converting 533.g7 acres of EDc-sG to EDc-cc, the project is contributing toward a balanced jobs-to-housing ratio in Menifee so that residents would not have to travel far towork. A balanced jobs-to-housing ratio contributes to the reduction in regional vehicle miles traveled and GHG emissions, which is consistent with the goals of the AeMp. However, as shown in Table 4.B, emissions associated with the project would continue to exceed the scAeMD thresholds, the proposed project would also not be consistent with the AeMp because, as identified in the Gp ElR, air pollutant emissions would cumulatively contribute to the non-attainment designations in the Air Basin.

The Menifee Housing Element update EIR determined that the HEU would not directly propose the development of additional housing units within Menifee. The HEU would facilitate future development of 8,695 dwelling units in Menifee through adoption ofdevelopment provisions and standards, but it does not include direct physical development of any dwelling units. Future housing development facilitated by buildout of the Menifee HEU would be subject to compliance with updated goals, policies, and development standards of the Menifee HEU as well as Title 9 (planning and zoning) ofthe city Municipal code, which are designed to ensure cohesive development and compatibility between land uses. considering these requirementt the HEU EIR found that the future 8,69G dwelling units facilitated by the Approved HEU component may result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of a criteriapollutant for which the Air Basin is in nonattainment under an applicable federal or State ambient air quality standard. Therefore, mitigation was identified that would minimize potential emissions byfuture development facilitated by the HEU. once implemented, the HEU EIR concluded that Mitigation Measure MM AQ-1 wourd reduce this impact to ress than si8nificant levers.57 Approved Project Mitigation Measures.

This includes fewer emissions of VOC, NO)o CO, SOx, pMm, and pMz.s (see Table 4.A and Table 4.8). Additionally, with the proposed Project increasing commercial retail and commercial office uses in conjunction with residential development potential by converting 533.g7 acres of EDc-sG to EDc- CC, the proposed project is contributing toward a balanced jobs-to-housing ratio in Menifee so that residents would not have to travel far to work, reducing vehicle miles travel, which reduces mobile source emissions. similar to the Approved project, the proposed project would establish a framework for future development that would be subject to compliance with updated goals, policies, and development standards of the Menifee General plan,ss Menifee HEU, and Title 9 (planning and zoning) of the city Municipal code, which are designed to ensure cohesive development and compatibility between land uses. These goals and policies include Goal s-7, policy s-7.1, and Goal s-7,4, as detailed in Section 4.3.1.1. Thus, consistent with the Approved project, the proposed project would implement Mitigation Measure 3-1, as prescribed in the GP EtR, and Mitigation Measure MM Ae-1, as prescribed by the H EU ElR, to help reduce em issions of criteria pollutants from implementation of future development under the proposed land use designations associated with the proposed Project. As detailed in Table 4.8 above, implementation of the proposed project would result in fewer emissions of criteria pollutants compared to the Approved project. Although the proposed project would continue to result in significant and unavoidable impacts related to long-term operational emissions of criteria pollutants, the proposed Project would not result in new or more severe environmentalimpacts 5a The Planning center and Dc&E. 2013. city of Menifee Draft Environmental lmpact Report, Menifee General Plan.

Menifee includes several permitted sources of air pollution that are regulaied by ScAqMD For these permitted sources, it is assumed no changes would occur to these facilities aspart of the General plan.se However, determined by the Gp ErR, buildout of the General plan, and Menifee with the Expanded EDC, would generate long-term emissions that exceed the daily SCAQMD thresholds for all criteriapollutants except for sulfur dioxide (sor). Therefore, the Gp EtR concluded operational-related airquality impacts associated with future development of the proposed General plan are significant andunavoidable.60 Menifee Housing Element Update ElR. The HEU component does not propose any development;however, the HEU facilitates future housing deveropment consistent with state housing raws. Thecandidate housing sites were evaluated in this ErR at a programmatic level, as discussed above. As aresult, no air modeling was conducted for this anarysis.6l Therefore, the ErR concruded that impactswould be less than significant.s2 Approved Project Mitigation Measures.

The proposed project would result in fewer air emissions relating to long-term regional operational emissions compared to the Approved project but would still result in a significant and unavoidable impact with implementation of the proposed p roject. Thus, consistent with the Approved project, the proposed pro.iect would implement Mitigation Measure 3-1, as prescribed in the Gp ElR, to help reduce emissions of criteria pollutants from implementation of future development under the proposed EDc-cc land use designations associated with the proposed project. As detailed in Table 4.B above, implementation of the proposed Project would result in fewer emissions of criteria pollutants compared to the Approved Project. Although the proposed Project would continue to result in significant and unavoidable impacts related to long-term operational emissions of criteria pollutants, the proposed project would not result in new or more severe environmental impacts concerning a net increase in cumulatively considerable emissions than anticipated for the Approved project. Proposed Project Mitigation Measures. lmplementation of Gp EIR Mitigation Measure 3-1. No new modified Project-specific mitigation is required. 4,3.4 Threshold D: would the proposed project expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant eoncentrations? (Gp EtR lmpact 5.3-4, Gp EtR tmpact 5.3_S, and HEU EIR lmpact 4.34) 4.3.4.1 Approved Proiect lmpact Analysis Menifee General Plan EtR. The Gp EtR indicated that policy osc 9.2, which calls for adding buffer zones between sensitive land uses and air pollutant emission sources, would maintain the level of impacts for future development projects to the extent feasible. However, in the absence of mitigation, it was determined that sensitive receptors could potentially be exposed to substantial pollutant concentrations near major sources of air pollutants. Additionally, it was concluded that operation of new development and truck idling within Menifee from buildout of the General plan could expose sensitive receptors to substantial toxic air contaminant concentrations. Air quality impacts from placement of sensitive uses near major pollutant sources were concluded in the Gp EIR to be considered significant and unavoidable. lmpacts would be similar for the Expanded EDC scenario.63 Mitigation measures Gp EIR 3-z and Gp EIR 3-3 are identified in the Gp EIR to reduce pollutant concentrations.

The proposed project would update the definition ofthe BP land use designation to prohibit distribution-related warehouse uses within Bp designated land in Menifee. Furthermore, the proposed land use amendment and change of zone of 533.87 acres of EDC-SG land to EDC-CC land in the southern portion of Menifee would facilitate an additional 53 acres ofthe project site to be developed wlth residential uses and serve to establish consistency between these parcels pursuant to california Government code section 65g60.

These goals and policies include Goal s-7, policy s-7.1, policy s-7.4, and Policy OSC-9.2. Future development facilitated through implementation of the proposed project could result in exposing sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. As mentioned above, the HEU EIR analyzes a narrow development (only residential) of the Approved project while the Gp EIR analyzes all potential buildout of Menifee. Therefore, the General plan EtR considers impacts from not only residential development but also commercial and industrial development. since theproposed Project would facilitate not only residential development but also commercial and industrial development potential under the proposed EDc-cc land use and zoning designation,potentialimpacts would be encompassed in the findings ofthe General plan ElR. Thus, consistent with the Approved project, the proposed project would implement Mitigation Measure 3-2 and Mitigation Measure 3-3, as prescribed in the General plan ElR, to help ieduce emissions of criteria pollutants from implementation of future development under the proposed EDc-cc land use designations associated with the proposed project. Therefore, in a similar manner as the Approved Project, the proposed project would result in a significant and avoidable impact related to exposure of sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations.

The Menifee HEU EIR identified the possibility of direct impacts to riparian habitat on undeveloped candidate housing sites through land development activities such as grading. Additionally, construction may result in indirect impacts to special status wildlife and plant species through excessive noise, lighting, and runoff. However, the impacts were analyzed based on pro8rammatic sources such as the Menifee General plan and the MsHcp rather than providing site-specific field surveys. Thus, housing development facilitated by buildout of the Menifee HEU would be subject to compliance with updated goals, policies, and development standards of the Menifee Housing Element update, as well as Title 9 (pranning and zoning) of the city Municipar code, which aie designed to ensure cohesive development and compatibility between land uses. compliance with the General Plan open space Erement poricy osc-8.s wourd also be required.

Exhibit osc-7 of the Menifee General Plan illustrates that there is no riparian scrub within the Project siteTe, but riparian habitat may be identified during grading/construction of future development as a result of the proposed Project. Thus, similar to the Approved project, the proposed project would establish a framework for future development that would be subject to compliance with updated goals, policies, and development standards of the Menifee General plan,80 Menifee Housing Element update, and ritle 9 (planning and Zoning) of the city Municipal code, which are designed to ensure cohesive development andcompatibility between land uses. Additionally, the proposed project would adhere to the regulatory requirements set forth for the Approved project, which include compliance with the MsHctand theopen space Element of the General plan. similar to the Approved project, the proposed project would be required to implement Mititation Measures Gp ErR 4,2, and HEU EIR Blo-1 to reduce impacts to riparian habitat. rn the same manner as the Approved project, the proposed project would result in less than significant impacts with mititation incorporated to riparian habitits andwould not result in new or more severe environmental impacts than anticipated for the Approved Project.

(Gp EtR tmpact 5.4_4 and HEU EtR tmpact 4.4_3) 4.4.3.1 Approved project lmpact Analysis Menifee General plan ErR. The Gp ErR determined the General plan buildout would result inpotential impacts on jurisdictional waters with future physical development since most of the city,sdrainage system consists of waters of the state. The drainage water is under state jurisdiction, California Regional Water euality control Board (RWeCB) and also considered California Department of Fish and wildlife (cDFW) streambeds. Additionally, other city water resources such as canyon Lake and Lake Elsinore are considered Traditional Navigable Waters under the federaljurisdiction of the United states Army corps of Engineers (USACE), this also includes tributaries f.omthe two lakes. Future development on State/federal waters, facilitated by the General plan buildout,would be required to compry with the usAcE section 404 permitting process, the carifornia wetlands conservation poricy, and applicabre MsHcp regurations. prior to construction of physicarproject-specific developments as result of General plan buildout, individual development projects would be required to imprement Mitigation Measure Gp ErR 4-2, which requires prolecrspeiific biological assessments to be conducted to determine if future development is withi; juris;ictional waters. open space and conservation Element policies listed in Gp ErR chapter 5.4 give substantial consideration to the protection of biorogicar resources, especialy sensitive and speciar-status wildlife species and their natural habitats. These policies are detailed in the General plan open space and conservation Erement. upon imprementation of these poricies and adherence to the Municipal Code, build-out ofthe General Plan would not substantially impact State/federa I waters. lmpacts would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated. sl Menifee Housing Element update ElR. The Menifee HEU EIR determined that implementation of the HEU would have no direct impacts to federally protected wetlands. Exhibit osc-7 of the Menifee General Plan was used in the ErR to conclude that one candidate site (Audie Murphy Ranch specific Plan) has riparian habitat. However, the specific pran was previousry approved with a project- specific biological assessment. Thus, it was determined the HEU would not propose the alteration or removal of federally protected wetlands since no candidate sites contain other riparian areas, wetland areas, or jurisdictional waters. Future housing development facilitated by buildout of the Menifee HEU would still be subject to compliance with updated goals, policies, and development standards of the Menifee Housing Element update, as welr as Title 9 (planning and zoning) of the city Municipar code, which are designed to ensure cohesive development and compatibility between land uses. compliance with aDDTTDUM To rB€ ME rrr GrNrRAr ptAN ErvlRoxMr r^!

There are no mitigation measures identified in the HEU ElR. 4.4.3.2 Proposed Project lmpact Analysis The Approved Project, which includes the proposed Project site, was not evaluated for site-specific federal/state/localjurisdictional waters and wetlands because no physical development was proposed; howevel it was determined that future physical development has the potential to result in a substantial adverse effect on jurisdictional water since drainage water is under state, RWecB, and CDFW jurisdiction. Exhibit OSC-7of the Menifee General Plan illustrates that there is no riparian scrub within the Project site83, but riparian habitat may be identified during grading/construction of future development as a result of the proposed project. To reduce impacts, the proposed project is required to implement Mitigation Measure Gp EIR 4-2, which would require the preparation of project-specific biological assessments to determine iffuture development facilitated by the proposed Project would be within and would impact jurisdictional waters. Additionally, the proposed Project would adhere to the regulatory requirements set forth for the Approved project which includes compliance with updated goals, policies, and development standards of the Menifee General Plan,8a Menifee HEU, and ritle 9 (planning and Zoning) of the city Municipal code, which are designed to minimize impacts to biological resources, including protected wetlands jurisdictional waters, and ensure cohesive development and compatibility between land uses.

The GP EIR determined that the overall buildout of the General plan would affect wildlife movement' constrained Linkage 17, located in the southeastern portion of Menifee, wourd provide a movement corridor for species. The MsHcP requires future projects in the criteria Area to provide a joint Power Review process through the Regional conservation Authority. Thus, it was determined in the EIR that future projects would be reviewed under CEQA to evaluate if future physical development projects wourd confrict with MHscp. Additionafly, the Migratory Bird rreaty Act(MBTA) protects migratory birds, with the united states Fish and witdlife service (usrwi) administering permits for project-specific environmentar reviews. Future deveropment of the General Plan buirdout would be required to compry with the usFws and the MBTA to avoidpotential conflicts. Future development projects as a result of General plan buildout would be subject to compliance with GP EIR Mitigation Measure 4-4, This mitigation measure would requirefuture projects to conduct burrowing owl surveys to reduce potential conflicts with ordinancesprotecting biologicar resources, incruding those that protect wildrife movement. open space and conservation Element policies listed in Gp ErR chapter 5.4 give substantial consideration to the protection of biorogicar resources, especialy sensitive and speciar-status wildlife species and their natural habitats, including wildlife movement corridors and nursery sites. These policies are detailed in the Generar pran open space and conservation Erement. upon implementation of these policies and adherence to the Municipal code, buildout of the General plan would not substantially interfere with the movement of any native resident, migratory fish orwildlife species. lmpacts would be less than sitnificant with mitigation incorporated. 8s Menifee Housing Element update ErR. The Menifee HEU ErR determined that future projects associated with implementation of the HEU would have potential impacts on nesting bird;, which are protected under the MBTA, california code, and Fish and Game code sections 3503 and 3503.5. lmpacts were found to mostry occur to nesting birds during the breeding season (February 1to Jury 15 for raptors and January 15 to August 31 for other birds). Project-specific biological assessments would be conducted at the time of future development facilitated by the HEU. Future housing development facilitated by build-out of the Menifee HEU would be subject to compliance with updated goals, policies, and development standards ofthe Menifee HEU, as well as Title 9 (Planning and zoning) ofthe city Municipal code, which are designed to ensure cohesive development and compatibility between land uses. compliance with General plan open space 85 B:\Citv cl.(ut nd.t\otv councll {.nd.3\clt, cou n.ll Atrnd.r 2025v023-01-18 crrv Gu.cit aa!..t \sisnetuasul.2. r ahibit A - Add.ndum.dod (01/17123, 4-43 LSA Grrrr^L P!^r AMrlDrsrrT rx5 cN^NGr of zorE piorrrr Mrr rr r, Crt rr oin r^ a00rND!M ro rH€ Mrrrfrr GrNrR^L prAN ErvtioNMrrr^t lMp^cr REroRr ^ D 2021-2029 Ho!srN6 ErrMrir UpDrrr ErvrioNMfnrAr lMp^cr RrroRr roR pr^ irrc c^sr NuMBras 21. 0404 ^irD 21- 040 5 ocroNri 2022 Element Policy osc-8.5 would also be required. updated Goal HE-1 and HE policy 1.7, identified above in section 4.1.1.1, and HE policy 1,2, identified above in section 4.1.3.1 of the Housing Element would ensure impacts to migratory wildlife remain less than significant. Approved Project Mitigation Measures. GP EIR 44 within 30 days prior to commencement of grading and construction activities, projects within the mapped burrowing owl survey area shall have a preconstruction survey for resldent burrowing owls conducted by a qualified biologist. These surveys shall be required, in additron to the habitat assessment and focused surveys that would be required under Section 6.3.2 of the MSHCP. lf ground-disturbing activities in these areas are delayed or suspended for more than 30 days after the preconstruction survey, the area shall be resurveyed for owls. Take of active nests shall be avoided. The preconstruction survey and any rerocation activity shal be conducted in accordance with MSHCp instructions and/or guidelines and coordinated with the Regional Conservation Authority following accepted protocols. 4.4.4.2 Proposed Proiect lmpact Analysis As discussed in the Gp ElR, the city of Menifee contains MHscp Linkage 17 within the southeast portion of the city. The proposed project site was considered in the analysis for the Approved Project regarding the movement of wildlife. lt was determined that future projects associated with implementation of General plan buildout would be subject to compliance wlth the MsHcp by providing project-specific evaluation of how the project might contribute to or interfere with assembly of the MsHcP conservation Area consistent with reserve configuration requirements. Additionally, future development in the criteria Area is subject to the Joint power Review process through the Regional Conservation Authority. Currently, there are no criterion cells in Menifee as shown on Figure 5.4-5 of the city of Menifee Gp ErR. on the same figure, the proposed project site rs mapped out in the burrowing owl survey area and thus future development prolects wouli be required to implement Mitigation Measure Gp EIR 44. Additionally, california Fish and Game code Section 3503 and section 3s03.5 protect migratory birds and wourd require future projects facilitated by the proposed project to conduct bird and nesting surveys during breeding season (February 1to July 15 for raptors and January 15 to August 31 for other birds). The proposed Project would be required to adhere to the regulatory requirements set forth for the Approved Project, which incrude compriance with updated goars, poricies, and deveropment standards of the Menifee General plan,85 Menifee HEU, and ritle 9 (planning and zoning) of the cityMunicipal code, which are designed to ensure cohesive deveropment and compatibirity between land uses. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated regardintwildlife movement and nursery sites, and the proposed project wourd not resurt in n"* o. ror" severe environmental impacts than anticipated for the Approved project. 86 The Planning center and Dc&E. 2013. city of Menifee Draft Environmentar rmpact Report, Menifee General Plan.

Furthermore, all future development applications would be evaluated during plan check to ensure compliance with Tree Preservation Ordinance No. 2015-167 as a matter of city policy. The following goals and policies of the HEU would further reduce these impacts: Goal HE-1, HE Policy 1.2 and HE policy 1.7. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated with respect to biological resources policy conflicts, and the proposed Project would not result in new or more severe environmental impacts related than anticipated for the Approved project.

However, the EDc expansion area, including the project site, was considered under the Approved project analysis. The proposed project site is within the burrowing owl survey area depicted in Figure 5.4-6 of the Gp ElR. The figure identifies areas that require habitat assessments to determine if suitable burrowing owl habitat is present on the site. Thus, future development projects occurring as a result of the proposed project would be subject to compliance with Mitigation Measure Gp EIR 4{.

(Gp EIR lmpact 4.4-2 and HEU EIR tmpact 4.5-2) 4.5.2.1 Approved Project lmpact Analysis Menifee General Plan ElR, The GP EIR determined that there are more than 250 resources (prehistoric, historic archaeological, and historical structures and sites) within the city of Menifee's boundaries, resulting in a high likelihood to uncover significant resources within Menifee during development activities. The GP EIR concluded that the entire city is considered sensitive for archaeological resources. eT Policies referenced in GP EIR Chapter 5.5 give substantial consideration of archaeological, historical, and cultural resources that are protected and integrated into the city's built environment. These policies are detailed in the General plan open space and conservation Element. Upon implementation of these policies and adherence to the Municipal Code, build-out of the General Plan would not substantially degrade archaeological resources In Menifee. lmplementation of GP EIR Mititation Measures 5-1 through 5-5 would reduce impacts to a level less than si8nificant with mitigation incorporated as identified in the cp ElR.s8 substantial undeveloped portions of Menefee, also have potential to contain archaeologicar resources. Goal HE-1, Policy HE 1.7 would also reduce impacts of potential impacts.ee Mitigation measure HEU cul-2, as prescribed in the HEU ElR, would requlre the preparation ofan archaeological survey, where deemed necessary by the city to reduce impacts. Thus, impacts wourd be less than significant with mitigation incorporated, as concluded in the HEU ErR.

These goals and policies include Goal HE-1, policy HE 1.7 and policy OSC-S.1. However, Exhibit OSC-4 of the current General plan shows high sensitivity for paleontological resources in the northern portion of the proposed Project site.1o1 Thus, similar to the Approved Project, future development as a result of the proposed project has a high potential of uncovering archeological and paleontological resources. The proposed Project would implement Mitigation Measures Gp EIR cul 5-1 through 5-5 and HEU EIR cut-2, as prescribed in the Gp ErR and HEU ErR for the Approved project when future development applications are presented to the city in order to manage unanticipated encounters in accordance with CEQA Guidelines section 15064.5. Therefore, in a similar manner as the Approved Project, the proposed project would result in less than significant impacts with mitigation incorporated with regard to archaeological resources, and no new or more severe environmental impacts would occur.

The MLD may recommend scientific removal and nondestructive analysis of human remains and items associated with Native American burials. consistent with ccR section 15064.5(d), if the remains are determined to be Native American and an MLD is notified, the city of Menifee shall consult with the MLD as identified by the NAHC to develop an agreement for treatment and disposition of the remains. lmplementation of state law would ensure if human remains are discovered on the site during project construction activities, they are protected. Through compliance with regulatory policy, impacts to human remains would be less than signiiicant. Menifee Housing Element update ElR,As determined by the HEU ElR, human remains within a formal cemetery are not expected to be disturbed as a result of the HEU. Although the HEU does not propose physical development within Menifee, human remains could be uncovered during construction for future housing. california pRc section 5097.98 and state Health and safety code Section 7050.5 would be implemented in consultation with the assigned most likely descendant as identified by the Native American Heritage commission. Additionally, the city would be required to adhere to the california Native American Graves protection and Repatriation Act (2001) and the federal Native American Graves protection and Repatriation Act (1990). During grading, these regulations would address the uncovering of human remains. policy updates associated with the Housin8 Element, Land Use Element, and Environmental Justice Element would not affect the City,s treatment of remains.

The existing setting of the project site is mostly vacant/undeveloped with the exception of a self-storage facility, a plant nursery, and a parking lot. similar to the Approved Project, the proposed project would establish a framework for future development that would be subject to compliance with updated goals, policies, and development standards of the Menifee General Plan,l@ Menifee HEU, and ritle 9 (planning and zoning) of the city Municipal code, which are designed to protect cultural resources and ensure cohesive development and compatibility between land uses. These goals and policies include Goal HE-1, policy HE 1.7 and Policy OSC-S.1. However, human remains could still be uncovered during construction for future development within the project site as a result of the proposed project. Thus, the proposed project would implement Mitigation Measure HEU EIR cuL-3, as prescribed in the Housing update Element ElR, and be subject to compliance with state Health and safety code section 7050.5.

At the time of the certification of the General plan, the City of Menifee had not yet adopted a qualified greenhouse Bas (GHG) reduction plan. However, the california Air Resources Board adopted the 2008 Scoping Plan to identify statewide strategies to achieve the GHG reduction targets of Assembly Bill 32, and the southern california Association of Governments adopted the 2012 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy to achieve the local passenger vehicle per capita GHG reduction targets of senate Bill 375. Energy analysis can be found in the section 4.8 (Greenhouse Gas Emissions) of this Addendum. ln addition, the statewide measures, policies and implementation actions included as part ofthe proposed General plan are shown in General Plan Final Environmental lmpact Report (Gp EIR) Table 5.7-9, city of Menifee Greenhouse Gas Reduction policy and lmplementation strategies. These statewide policy and implementation strategies are consistent with the intent of the 2OOg Scoping plan. 105 The circulation Element policies and implementation actions presented in Gp EIR Table 5.7-9 would establish an overall vehicle miles traveled reduction of 2.5 percent.

Menifee is in the wastewater treatment service area of the Eastern Municipal Water District. The Riverside county Department of Environmental Health would require new developments in the General plan buildout where use of septic tanks would be permitted io conduct percolation tests before installation of septic systems. This requirement is to verify that water would percolate into soil under the site at an adequate rate for the septic system to function. septic systems are required to comply with the california plumbing code (california code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 5). The General plan's expansion of the EDC would permit development of fewer residential units in the proposed General plan. This would slightly reduce the numbe;of permitted residential units that would be allowed to use septic tanks. The Gp EIR concluded that the General Plan component of the Approved project impacts would be less than significant. 122 Menifee Housing Element update ElR.The Approved HEU component does not propose direct development within Menifee. Future project-specific housing development would be in areas served by the City's sanitary sewer system and would therefore not use septic tanks or other alternative wastewater disposal systems.

Future development facilitated by the Project has the potential to impact paleontological resources directly or indirectly through ground-disturbing activities during construction as it was determined in the HEU EIR that Menifee contains multiple locations with high likeliness to house paleontologically significant artifacts and resources. Therefore, the undeveloped candidate housing sites, oi sitei with substantial portions undeveloped, also have potential to contain archaeological resources. Goal HE- 1, Policy HE 1.7 would also reduce impacts of potential impacts. Mitigation Measure HEU cuL-z, as prescribed in the HEU ElR, would require the preparation of an archaeological survey, where deemed necessary by the city. General plan Exhibit osc-4 of the Menifee GP open Space and conservation Element shows that the majority of the city contains land designated as high paleontological sensitivity. However, the project does not directly propose development of housing units on these lands or the modification of these lands. Future development facilitated by the project would be required to comply with federal, state, and local regulations regardrng the management and assessment of paleontological risks and impacts. lmplementation of Mitigation Measure HEU GEo-1 would further reduce the risk of detrimental effects on paleontological resources through implementation of the Approved project. Environmental Justice, Housing Element, and safety policy updates would not further affect the city's ability to manage unique georogicar features and pareontorogicar resources.

The Housing Element update (HEU) component does not include physical alterations to Menifee that could directly create changes to the city's existing air quality or re8ional air quality. lnstead, the project proposes multiple regulatory changes to the city's General Plan. Determined by the Housing Element update Final program Environmental lmpact Report (HEU EIR), future housing development facilitated by the Project would result in an increase in GHGS due to increased vehicle miles traveled. Future developments facilitated by the HEU would be required to comply with applicable federal, state and local regulations regarding GHG emissions. This includes policies required by the South Coast Air euality Management District. Developers would be required to comply with one of five exclusion tiers to avoid significant environmental impacts. Continued compliance with the California Building Code, which includes Title 24, part 11, would still be required for the future housing developments at the time of project-specific initiation. Thus, makinB it required for future project-specific residential developments to be consistent with any applicable regulations involving energy efficiency, water efficiency/conservation, materlal conservation and resource efficiency, and environmentalquality. Additionally, additional goals and policies have been proposed for the Menifee General plan safety Element for climate change hazards. These include the Goal s-7, policy S-7.1, policy s-7.4, and policy s-7.5, as identifiedlbove in Section 4.3.1.1, and Policy S-7.5, identified in Section 4.0.1.1. The HEU would not directly generate additional GHG emisslons within Menifee. The Approved Project was determined to be in accordance with state housing law and general plan laws, as the HEU is designed to be implemented within the framework provided by state law and would therefore not conflict with other established State laws, such as GHG regulations. Adherence to GHG re8ulations and Menifee General Plan proposed goals and policies would be required for the future development facilitated by the HEU. Thus, impacts from GHG emissions and consistency with applicable plan, policy, or regulations would be less than significant without mitigation.l2e Approved Proiect Mitigation Measures.

These GHGs include carbon dioxide and methane. The proposed project wourd have fewer air quarity emissions reratinB to rong-term regional operational emissions and mobile source GHG emissions compared to the Ap,roved project but would still have significant and unavoidable impact with the full buildout of the proposed Project. There is a current imbalance of the jobs-to-housing ratio such that Menifee sees a significant net outflow of workers commuting to work rocations in other communities.l3o The Meniiee office market continues to grow related to population growth in the region, and the vacancy rate is verylow at 1.4 percent.lsl The state's population growth has decrined -0.4 percent with the Riverside county's population growth at 3 percent, whire Menifee's popuration has grown 1g percent.132 Thesouth Riverside county rndustrialsubmarket has approximately 1.7 million square feet (sf) offlexindustrial inventory, with Menifee having approximately 2,400 sf of this share. workers who live inMenifee are primarily emproyed in the hearth care, accommodation/food service, education, retair trade, and construction sectorsl33 and approximatery 50 percent of these residents work in office-related industriesl3a while 53 percent of employees [from other communities] who work in Menifeework in office-related industries. Thus, the proposed project would provide a balance of jobs toresidents of Menifee through the proposed increase of residential dwelling units and commercialretail/commercial office development potential. A balanced jobs-to-housing ratio contributes to thereduction in regional vehicle miles traveled and GHG emissions that are identified in the scAG Regional Transportation plan and the Air euality Management plan.

A balanced jobs-to-housinB ratio contributes to the reduction in regional vehicle miles traveled and GHG emissions, resulting in reduced GHG emissions under the proposed project. similar to the Approved project, the proposed project would establish a framework for future development that would be subject to compliance with updated goals, policies, and development standards of the Menifee General plan,135 Menifee Housing Element update, and ritle 9 (plannint and Zoning) ofthe city Municipal code, which are designed to ensure cohesive development and compatibility between land uses. These goals and policies include Goal s-7, policy s-7.1, policy s-7.4, Policy s-7.5. Furthermore, the proposed project would implement Mitigation Measure Gp EIR 3-1 (see section 4.3 Air quality of this Addendum), which was prescribed in conjunction with compliance with ritle 24 and Senate Bill 32, which replace the measure in Gp EIR GHG Table 5.7-9. Although implementation of the proposed project would result in fewer GHG emissions than identified in the Approved Project, the proposed Project would result in significant and unavoidable impacts from emissions of GHG and conflict with applicable plans adopted to reduce GHG emissions even after mitigation and adherence to policies. Nevertheless, GHG impacts from the proposed Project would not be new or more severe than those identified under the Approved project.

The Approved Housing Erement update (HEU) component does not propose construction or other development. Demolition and construction activities associated with future housing development facilitated by the Menifee General plan and the 2021- 2029 Housing Element update (Approved project) could require transport of hazardous materials. However, future HEU deveropments are subject to compriance with handring measures required by the city during construction and operationar phases. Therefore, adoption of the Menifee HEU wourdnot physically impact the environment. Future housing development facilitated by buildout of the Menifee HEU would be subject to compriance with updated goars, poricies, and deveropment standardsof the Menifee HEU, as well as Title 9 (planning and Zoning) of the city Municipal code, which are designed to ensure cohesive deveropment and compatibirity between rand uses.

The HEU EIR identified more than 15 schools within Menifee. The HEU would facilitate future development of 8,696 dwelling units in Menifee through adoption of development provisions and standards, but it does not include direct physical development of any dwelling units. Therefore, adoption of the Menifee Housing Element Update would not physically expose schools to hazardous materials. Future housing development facilitated by build-out of the Menifee HEU would be subject to compriance with updated goars, poricies, and deveropment standards ofthe Menifee HEU, as well as Title 9 (planning and Zoning) ofthe city Municipal code, which are designed to ensure cohesive development and compatibility between land uses.lao Any future housing development facilitated by the HEU component would need to adhere to mandatory requirements and regulations related to the emissions or handling of hazardous materials, substances, or wastes near schools to reduce the potential for impacts to schools. Adherence to california Hazardous waste control Law, california Health and safety code, and RCRA regulations would reduce potential impacts associated with the accidental release of hazardous materials' As a result, future housing development facilitated by the project would not conflict with any state or local plan aimed at preventing emissions or handling of hazardous materials near schools. Policy updates associated with environmental justice, Housing Element, and the safety Element would not further affect the city's ability to manage hazardous material discharges.

Future development facilitated by the proposed project would be on parcels that are within the Approved Project boundary; as such, the hazardous materials impact analysis presented in the Gp EIR and HEU EIR encompasses the proposed project site. The proposed project would prohibit distribution warehouses in the project area, which could reduce the frequency of transporting hazardous materials. Furthermore, none ofthe existing public K-12 schools in Menifee are within 0.25 mile of l-215, thus reducing the risk of exposing occupants of school campuses to hazardous materials through transport of such materials_ Future development under the proposed project would be subject to the same federal, state, and local regulations applicable to the Approved project to regulate hazardous materials and reduce potential exposure to schools. The transport, use, and storage of hazardous materials during construction, operation, and occupation of site-specific projects implemented under the proposed Project would be regulated by the Riverside county Fire Department and the California occupational safety and Health Administration. The united states Department of Transportation office of Hazardous Materials Safety prescribes strict regulations for the safe transportation of hazardous materials by truck and rail on state highways and rail lines.

The proposed Project site is south of Garbani Road, approximately 3 miles south of the nearest airport influence zone. Future development of the proposed project would continue to adhere to applicable policies, goals, and zoning development standards set-forth by the Gp EtR and HEU ElR. However, there are no project-project specific regulatory compliance required by the RcALUc. Therefore, in a similar manner as the Approved Project, impacts from a safety hazard or noise due to proximity to an airport from implementation of the proposed project would be less than significant.

Buildout of the proposed General plan would result in some changes to the city's circulation network. However, it would not increase hazards or impact emergenay i.."r, due to design features of the adopted Riverside county lntegrated Plan (RClp). The RClp gives design recommendation for broader array of traffic volume conditions and modes to provide appropriate lane capacities within limited right-of-way. The plan also provides detailed information on lane configurations, shoulders, medians, etc.1a7 Future projects as a result of the General plan buildout would comply with design guidelines. Additionally, at full General plan buildout, development in many parts of Menifee would intensify urban uses in currently undeveloped areas, generating employees and residents. However, implementation of the approved General plan is not expicted to provide inadequate emergency access. Additionally, the city adopted the Riverside county operational Area Emergency operations plan (EoP) in 2006. The EoP organizes the roles of agencies in emergency preparedness, emergency response, and hazard mitigation. The county of Riverside Local Hazard Mitigation elan, adopted in 2004, identifies and assess local hazards to mitigate potential risks to people and property from natural and man-made hazards, including wildfires. tmplementation of the proposed General plan would be consistent with the EOP and Local Hazard Mitigation Plan's emergency evacuation routes and would not interfere with the operations of emergency response agencies. safety policies refenced in Gp EIR chapter 5.8 give substantial consideration to the public,s emergency safety within Menifee.

The GP EIR identified that Menifee consists of permeable surfaces. At full General Plan buildout, development in many parts of Menifee would intensiry urban uses in currently undeveloped areas, reducing permeable surface in the city. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) must review future development within the 100-year flood plan to determine if the future project meets the criteria of the National Flood lnsurance Program. This also includes the determination if revisions would be needed to FEMA,s maps. Future development facilitated by the General Plan would be required to reduce flood risks by doing one or more of the following. 16r Grade project building pads above 100-year flood elevations.

Groundwater quality impacts are expected to be less than significant. water quality impacts to stormwater and groundwater would be similar under the Expanded EDC Scenario. Menifee Housing Element Update ElR,lt was identified that housing development could increase the impervious areas in Menifee. This would result in an increase of surface runoff into the City,s storm drainage systems, significantly impact onsite flows, and impede or redirect flood flows. As mentioned above, all future housing development projects facilitated by the HEU are required to comply with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System General Construction permit and the hydrology and water quality goals and policies of the Menifee General plan and the Menifee Municipal Code. All requirements include the preparation and implementation of a Swppp to obtain grading and building permits.

The HEU would facilitate future development of up to g,762 housing units, resulting in an increase of Menifee's population by approximately 25,410 residents and increased demand for recreational uses. However, the population growth estimated from the implementation of the Approved HEU would be within the projected growth estimates of the city and the region. Thus, substantial physical deterioration would not occur or be accelerated by the HEU. Future residentialdevelopment facilitated by the Project would still be required to comply with all applicable regulations including the city review and approval process. Menifee Municipal code Section 8.03.050 requires new residential developments within the city to provide land or in-lieu fees for parks or recreation needs. Goal HE-l, HE policy 1.1, and HE policy 1.7, as identified in section 4 1.1.1, would maintain the current level of any potential impacts. Thus, the Housing Element update would not create a demand for new or expanded recreational facilities. lmpacts would be less than significant impact, and no mitigation is required.22s Approved Project Mitigation Measures.

Pursuant to chapter 7.75 parkland Dedication and Fees of the city of Menifee Municipal code, future Applicants under the proposed project would either have to dedicate parkland as part of project-specific developments or pay impact fees, which would go to capital improvements to Menifee/vwRD operated parks within the city. The Municipal code requires project applicants to dedicate approximately 17.023 acres of park or recreational facility land in order to be compliant with chapter 7.75 of the city of Menifee Municipal code.22e Future development applications under the proposed project would be reviewed by city staff for compliance with chapter 7.75 of the city of Menifee Municipal code, and open space uses incorporated in future developments under the proposed project would reduce the use of city/vwRD-operated parks within the city, as occupants of future projects have the option to use on-site amenities first before going to a nearby park. ln lieu of the park dedication, future project applicants would be able to pay development fees pursuant to chapter 7.75 of the city of Me;ifee 121 The Planning center and Dc&8. 2013. city of Menifee Draft Environmental lmpact Report, Menifee General Plan. state clearinghouse scH No.2012071033. pp.5.15-16 and 5.1s-7. september. website: https://www.cityofmenifee.us/DocumentCenter/View/1115/Ch-05-15-REC?bidtd=.

Future growth in Menifee in accordance with buildout of the General Plan would increase Menifee's population to an estimated 158,942 residents and therefore increase the demand for parks. This would create demand for 407 acres of new parkland at a ratio of 5 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents. The proposed Generar pran desiBnates 725 acres for parks. As a result, under the General plan, development of park facilities keep pace with the anticipated increase in population. Goals and policies in the General plan, along with existing federal, state, and local regulations, would mitigate potentiar adverse impacts pursuant to buirdout of the proposed Land use Plan.

Buildout of the General Plan would result in an increase in demand for library services in Menifee. At General plan buildout, the city would have a population of 15g,942. This population increase would require new and expanded public facilities to ensure acceptable service levels. Thus, future development as a result of the General plan buildout would also be subject to pay development impact fees. The GP EIR analysis concludes that impacts would be less than significant.225 Menifee Housing Element update ElR. The forecast population growth from the future housing development facilitated by the HEU would be consistent with the forecasted growth for the region and the city. Thus, future development would not be considered unplanned. Development impict fees would also be required to expand other public facilities such as libraries. policy updates associated with environmental justice and the safety Element update would not affect other public facilities.

As such, the city of Menifee currently has an inventory of parks totaling 198.72 acres.223 The Menifee General plan identifies a standard of 5 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents. As detailed in Threshold A of section 4.14 above, the proposed project would increase the number of residential units in the City by approximately t,!74 units, which is estimated to add approximately 3,405 persons compared to the Approved project. pursuant to chapter 7.75 parkland Dedication and Fees of the city of Menifee Municipal code, future applicants under the proposed Project would either have to dedicate parkland as part of project-specific developments or pay impact fees, which would go to capital improvements to Menifee/VWRD operated parks within the city. The Municipal code requires project applicants to dedicate approximately 17.023 acres of park or recreational facility land in order to be compliant with chapter 7.75 0f the city of Menifee Municipal Code.z2a Future development applications under the proposed project would be reviewed by city staff for compliance with Chapter 7.75 ofthe City of Menifee Municipal Code, and open space uses incorporated in future developments under the proposed project would reduce the use of city/vwRD-operated parks within the city, as occupants of future projects have the option to use on-site amenities first before going to a nearby park. ln lieu of the park dedication, future project Applicants would be able to pay development fees pursuant to chapter 7.75 of the city of Menifee Municipal code that would be determined by the city and payable by future project applicants prior to final plan approval. The development fees would be applied to capital improvement funds that would be used for city/vwRD park maintenance and new parkland development. The amount of the fee would be equal to a new development's fair share of the costs of developing new parks, open space and recreation facilities, including the acquisition, design, and construction. As detailed under Threshold A of section 4.14 above, the proposed project is consistent with the planned growth of the City and region and therefore would not generate a substantial increase in population within the City. Accordingly, no negative impact related to the City,s adopted goal of 5 acres of parkland for every 1,000 residents would result from implementation of the proposed Project. The increased demand for new or expanded park facilities would be negligible. Any future construction of new or expansion of existing park facilities would be subject to project- level environmental review and site-specific mitigation as appropriate in order to ensure significant environmental impacts are avoided or mitigated at the time such development actions are proposed to or by the City. The City'sjoint-use agreement facilities, combined with neighboring parks would offset any incremental increase in parkland demand. The proposed project would not result in new or more severe environmental impacts concerning park facilities than anticipated for the Approved Project.

Based on the generation rates identified above in Table 4.15.4 an additional 365 elementary school students, 179 middle school students, and 155 high school students are anticipated to be generated by the proposed Project when compared to the Approved project. As detailed in section 3.14, the proposed Project is consistent with the growth projections of the city and region, so the three schools are anticipated to adequately accommodate the new students generated by the proposed Project. ln addition, some residents that would occupy the proposed project may already reside in the City. california Government code (Section 65995[b]) establishes the base amount of allowable developer fees imposed by school districts. These base amounts are commonly referred to as "Level 1fees,, and are subject to inflation adjustment every two years. School districts are placed into a specific "level" based on school impact fee amounts that are imposed on the development. With the adoption of senate Bill 50 and Proposition 14 in 1998, schools meeting certain criteria can now adopt Level 2 and 3 developer fees. The amount of fees that can be charged over the Level 1 amount is determined by the district's total facilities needs and the availability of State matching funds. lf there is State facility funding available, districts are able to charge fees equal to 50 percent of their total facility costs, termed "Level 2" fees. lf, however, there are no State funds available, "Level 3" fees may be imposed for the full cost of their facility needs.220 Per California Government Code, "The payment or satisfaction of a fee, charge, or other requirement levied or imposed ... are hereby deemed to be full and complete mitigation of the impacts ... on the provision of adequate school facilities." Future development facilitated under the proposed Project would be required to include payment of these development fees in accordance with Government code 65995 and Education code 17620. As such, payment of school impact fees by development under the proposed Project would be considered adequate mitigation pertaining to potential impacts to schools. The proposed project, therefore, would not result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered education facilities, new for new or physically altered education facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times, or other performance standards. The proposed project would not result in new or more severe environmental impacts concerning school facilities than anticipated for the Approved Project.

Therefore, the project's increase in demand of new or expanded police services would be negligible. Addltionally, through the execution of mutual aid agreements maintained with neighboring jurisdictions, the City would have additional police services to provide assistance during major emergencies. Pursuant to chapter 8.02 (Development tmpact Fees) of the Menifee Municipal code, future project applicants would pay fees to be used for capital improvements to the Menifee police Department when required. The city monitors police staffing levels as part of the annual budgeting process to ensure that adequate police protection can continue even after new development projects are approved and constructed. Therefore, projections made by the Menifee police Department and the City ensure that adequate police protection will be maintained as buildout of the proposed project would occur. Any future construction of new or expansion of existing police protection facilities would be subject to project-level environmental review and site-specific mitigation as appropriate in order to ensure significant environmental impacts are avoided or mitigated at the time such development actions are proposed to or by the City. Since future buildout of the proposed project would result in a negligible increase in city population, implementation of the proposed project would not degrade the Menifee Police Department's performance to the point that a new facility or expansion of an existing facility, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, would be needed. ln the same manner as the Approved Project, impacts from implementation of the proposed Project would be less than significant. The proposed project would not result in new or more severe environmental impacts concerning police protection services than anticipated for the Approved Project.

Since most of Menifee is in the MUSD, student generation rates used by the MUSD are used to estimate elementary and middle school student generation from General Plan buildout in Table 5.14-5 of the GP ElR. The estimated net increase in student generation is 9,068 elementary school students and 4,419 middle school students. Buildout of the General Plan would generate about 3,918 new high school students. lt was concluded in the GP EIR that upon implementation of regulatory requirements and standard conditions of approval for future developments, impacts would be less than significant under the approved General Plan as well as the Expanded EDC Scenario.

Future projects facilitated by the HEU would continue to require development review andwould be required to pay development impact fees. The HEU ErR concluded population grown facilitated through implementation of the Approved Project would not exceed the city's growth projections. Therefore, population growth facilitated bythe HEU would not be unplanned and thus would be within the City's projections for future safety assessments and regulations. Additionally, updated Goal HE-1, HE policy 1.1, and HE policy 1.7, asidentified in section 4.3.1.1, would ensure any potential impacts remain less than significant.216 Approved Project MitiSation Measures. No mitigation measures were identified in the Menifee Gp EIR or the Menifee HEU EtR. 4.15.1.4 Proposed Pro.iect lmpact Analysis Prior to July 2020, the Riverside county sheril?s Department provided police protection to the cityof Menifee. As of July 2020, the city of Menifee estabrished the Menifee police Department, consisting of a patrol division, swAT division, traffic division, and K9 division. The Menifee police Department operates out of a facility located at 2g7!4 Haun Road, approximately 2.3 miles north ofthe proposed Project site. The existing setting of the proposed Project site is mostly vacant/undeveloped with the exception ofa self-storage facility, a plant nursery, and a parking lot. As shown in Table 2.c, implementation ofthe proposed Project would increase the development potentialfor residential uses by approximately 1,174 dweling units on the proposed project site compared to the Approved project. ln the same manner as wourd occur through buirdout of the HEU under the Approved project, development facilitated under the proposed project wourd incrementaly increase the demand forlaw enforcement carrs for service to the site, as it wourd be deveroped on mostry vacant rand.However, future deveropment faciritated under the proposed project wourd imprement crimePrevention through Environmentar Design (cprED) techniques that wourd discourage and or reducecrime from occurring on site. such cprED techniques wourd incrude, but not be rimited to, site-specific lighting, buirding faEade righting, row-rying randscaping designed to minimize opportunitiesfor concealment, continued maintenance activities at site speiific intervars, deadbortsfrocks onbuilding exterior doors, and perimeter retaining walls. All ofthese design features are standard inthe design guidelines of the City MunicipalCode. An incremental increase in law enforcement calls to the Project site could occur; however, such callswould be consistent to the types of cals the Menifee porice Depanment responds to at simirarresidentiar deveropments throughout the city. Additionaly, the proposed project site is surroundedby existing development and therefore is rocated in an area of the city arready patroled by theMenifee Police oepartment.

C^Uroi r^ Fees (DlFs) to the RCFD for fire service as a condition of project approvals. The DlFs paid to the RCFD would increase the capital funding available to develop new fire stations as needed to facilitate adequate service by the RCFD. The proposed project would also be designed in compliance with applicable provisions of the california Fire code as adopted by the city of Menifee through Municipal Code Chapter 8.20. The California Fire Code provides guidelines on fire hydrant size and outlet locations, building sprinkler system requirements, fire water flow requirements, building fire load occupancy requirements, vegetative clearance requirements around buildings, fire resistant construction materials, and adequate circulation clearance for fire apparatus. Prior to approval of final building permits, the city of Menifee and RCFD representatives would review site-specific plans facilitated under the proposed Project to ensure that development would occur in compliance of the california Fire code and Municipal code chapter 9.20. with payment of the DlFs and development of the proposed project in compliance with the applicable regulations, the proposed Project would not preclude existing and proposed fire stations from meetinB the increased incremental demand for fire protection services. Any future construction of new or expansion of existing fire protection facilities would be subject to project-level environmental review and site-specific mitigation as appropriate in order to ensure si8nificant environmental impacts are avoided or mitigated at the time such development actions are proposed to or by the city. The proposed project, therefore, would not result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered fire facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental ampacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times, or other performance standards. ln the same manner as the Approved Project, impacts from implementation of the proposed project would be less than significant.

Buildout of the Menifee General plan would result in an increased number of persons at an estimated 158,942, thus resulting in an increase in demand for police services. The GP EIR determined that the Riverside county sheriffs Department would expand accordingly to the demand of the city's growth. The physical impacts of the General plan could not be analyzed in the GP EIR because the locations and sizes offuture facilities are unknown. Thus, future projects would be reviewed by the city on a project-specific basis and would be required to comply with regulations in effect at the time building permits are issued, which include development impact fees. The development impact fees would be used for expanding public services. Police protectlon service impacts would be less than significant.2ls aDDTTDUM ro TNr Mrttfrr Grxri^r pt^,r E vrroilMrrrar lMprcT R!roir AilD 2021.2029 Hou'ilG ErrMfNr upo^TfErvrioiMrtr^t tMp^cr RIroiT roi ptal{l c C^r!

The potential housing generated through implementation of the HEU would continueto require development review pursuant to the city's fire standards. rmplementation of the HEU does not include physical development, but future development facilitated by implementation ofthe HEU would require review in accordance with applicable fire standards to protect Menifee and its residents from future fire hazards. The HEU EtR concluded implementation ofGoal HE-1, HE Policy 1.7, and HE Policy 1.1, identified above in section 4.1.1.1, and sE policies s-4.g and s-4.u, as identified in section 4.9.1.1, would ensure a less than significant impact wrth regards to fire protection.2l2 Approved Proiect Mitigation Measures. No mitigation measures were identified in the Menifee Gp EIR or the HEU ElR. 4.15,1.2 Proposed Project Impact Analysis The Riverside county Fire Department (RcFD) provides fire protection, fire prevention, and emergency services to the project site through a contract with the city of Menifee. The city of Menifee is served by four RCFD fire stations within its jurisdiction. The Riverside county Fire Department station 58, located at 26020 wickerd Road approximately 1.5 miles west of the site, is the nearest fire station. Average travel time between Fire Station 7 and the proposed project site is 4 minutes. The next nearest fire station is Menifee Lakes Station 76 located at 29950 Menifee Road approximately 2.3 miles north of the proposed Project site. Average travel time between Fire station 75 and the proposed project site is 8 minutes. The proposed project site is located in a suburban setting already served by the RCFD. since first responders already patrol the project vicinity, compliance with california Vehicle Code 21806(A)(1), which requires allvehicles to yield toemergency vehicles, would ensure implementation ofthe proposed Project would not adversely affe.t tr.r"iti." between the nearest fire station and the Project site, especially since implementation of the proposed project would reduce the overall number of daily vehicle trips on area roadways (refer to section 4.L7],. As the city of Menifee contracts with Riverside county for firefighting services, the county of Riverside sets service thresholds for each fire station within the RcFD service area. The county determines the need for new fire stations through the following thresholds: . One fire station is able to serve 2,000 residential units. . One fire station is able to serve 3,5OO,OOO square feet of commercial usage. ' One fire station is able to serve 3,5OO,OOO square feet of industrial usage (which includes light industrial, heavy industrial, and business park). 2t2 Kimley-Horn and Associates, lnc. 2o2l- 2021,-2029 Housing Element update project Draft program Environmental lmpact Report. state clearinghouse No. scH2021o2oo31. p.4.1s-g.

Assuming 22 dwelling units per acre average residential development intensity, the Approved project would facllitate development of 1,175 dwelling units in the Project area while the proposed Project would facilitate development of 2,349 dwelling units in the Project area.20s lncreasing the development potential of residential uses by an additional 1,u4 dwelling units within the project area would contribute to satisfying the RHNA projection needs of the City. According to the HEU ElR, city projections for population growth at buildout in 2045 without implementation of the HEU would be approximately 129,800 residents, while implementation of the HEU would generate population growth to a lesser degree at approximately 122,503 residents, even whf le facilitating future development of 8,762 additional dwelling units than planned in the General Plan.206 lmplementation of the proposed Project would generate an additional 1,174 dwelling units, thus increasing the total number of additional dwelling units anticipated in the City to approximately 9,936. using the same methodology applied in the HEU EtR for average household size (2.90 persons per dwelling unit), implementation of the proposed project would increase the city's population by 3,405 persons compared to the Approved project, bringing the total at buildout to approximately 125,908 persons.207 Nevertheless, the total population anticipated through implementation of the proposed Project would continue to be less than the previously-anticipated 129,goo residents at buildout of the General Plan without the HEU or proposed project. similar to the Approved Project, future development as a result of the proposed project would not induce substantial population growth that has not been anticipated in previously approved land use projections or required under the current RHNA Allocation Plan. The expansion of infrastructure necessary to support the projected development of the Project area would take place in conjunction with buildout of the EDc-cc in the same manner as it otherwise would under the Approved project. Therefore, the proposed Project would not result in new or more severe environmentalimpacts concerning population growth than anticipated for the Approved project.

The city's population at General plan buildout is estimated as 158,942. This is an increase of 81,423 than the 2010 Census count and 39,160 more than the Southern California Association of Government (SCAG) 2035 forecast for the City's population. The additional 197 acres of Economic Development Corridor (EDC) designated lands under the Expanded EDC Scenario would reduce the population by 281. Although residential land uses per the General plan would exceed population forecasts of scAG populatlon projections for 2035, the 2013 General plan is the City's first General Plan. Therefore, no preexisting General Plan population projections exist to be compared for future projections. lmplementation of the proposed General Plan would not induce growth exceeding existing General Plan projections. Thus, the Gp EtR concluded that the General Plan would have less than significant impacts on population growth.ls2 lmpacts would be similar under the Expanded EDC Scenario. 1e3 Menifee Housing Element Update. The HEU would facilitate the future development of up to 8,696 additional housing units. The Housing Element update has been created in accordance with the State Housing Element Law. The Housing Element has also been created to comply with the O,EOg- unit Regional Housing Needs Assessments (RHNA) allocation given to the City through SCAG. tn addition to coal HE-1 and HE Policy 1.7, identified above in Section 4.1.1.1, and HE policy 1,2, 192 193 The Planning Center and DC&E. 2013.

This policy was defined by the Riverside county Airport Land use commission. Thus, the Gp EIR determined that implementation of the Approved General Plan would not expose noise-sensitive land uses to noise levels that are incompatible with aircraft noise. upon implementation of these policies and adherence to the Municipal Code, buildout of the General Plan would not expose people to excessive noise levels as a result of airport land uses. lmpacts would be less than significant. 1s0 The Expanded EDc scenario is outside the 60 CNEL noise contours for each of the four airports in Menifee. tmpacts would be similar for the Expanded EDC Scenario. Housing Element update ElR, The HEU EIR had the same analysis as the Approved General plan component; however, it identified that no portions of Menifee are within 65 dB CNEL noise contours. compliance with policy N-l.17 of the Noise Element would be required to prohibit new residential land uses within the 55 dB CNEL contours of any public-use or military airports. Future housing development facilitated by build out of the Menifee Housing Element update would be subject to compliance with updated goals, policies, and development standards of the Menifee HEU, as well as Title 9 (Planning and zoning) of the city Municipal code, which are designed to ensure cohesive development and reduce noise impacts. updated Goal HE-1 and HE policy 1.2, as detailed in Section 4.1.1.1, would ensure impacts remain less than significant.lsl 189 190 A-wei8hted decibel of the relative loudness of sounds in air as perceived by the human ear.

Additionally, future development of the proposed project would be subject to Riverside county ordinance No. 847,185 the state's community Noise and Land use compatibility Standards, and the Federal Transit Administration's Transit Noise and Vibration lmpact Assessment Manualto reduce noise impacts. Future development under the proposed project wourd occur on parcels that are within the Approved Project boundary; as such, the noise impact analysis presented in the Approved project has considered noise and vibration levels within the Project site. At full General plan buildout, development in many parts of the city would create urban uses in currently undeveloped areas, especially in portions of Menifee that are currently vacant land. The existing setting of the project site is mostly vacant with the exception of a self-storage facility, a plant nursery, and a parking lot. Thus, with future development creating urban uses on vacant land near r-21s, the proposed p:roject would substantially increase the existing noise environment. lmplementatlon of the proposed project would continue to occur in accordance with applicable goals, policies and provisions of the Menifee Noise Ordinance in regards to railroad operations (Gp EIR lmpact 5.12-3), siting sensitive receptors in proximity to transportation facilities and in proximity to stationary sources (Gp EIR lmpact 5.12-4), and construction activities (Gp EIR lmpact 5.12-5). Therefore, impacts from implementation of the proposed project would be the same as those identified for the Approved project, less than sitnificant, through compliance with General plan Noise Element Policies N1.2, N1.11, and N1.17, and the City,s Noise Ordinance. The GP EIR for the Approved Project concluded cumulative increases in traffic volumes through buildout would result in a cumulatively considerable increase in traffic noise, and impacts would be significant and unavoidable. However, as detailed in section 4.17 below, implementation of the proposed Project would result in fewer daily vehicle trips overall within the project site as a result of the proposed mix of land uses of the EDc-cc. Nevertheless, when taking into account the total number of vehicle trips within the Project site under the Approved project scenario (EDC-SG) versus the proposed Project scenario (EDC-CC), the reduction in the number of vehicle trips is incremental in regards to the corresponding reduction in mobile noise levels. Therefore, in the same manner as the Approved Project, the proposed Project would still have a cumulatively considerable increase in ambient noise levels in Menifee, resulting in impacts that would be significant and unavoidable. The proposed Project would not result in new or more severe environmental impacts concerning substantial permanent or temporary increases in ambient noise than anticipated for the lpproved Project. 145 186 city of Menifee. n.d.

These policies are detailed in the General plan Noise Element. However, implementation ofthese policies and adherence to the Municipal code, build out of the General Plan would still have substantial cumulative increases in the ambient noise levels in Menifee from increases in traffic on local roadways and l-215 (Gp EtR lmpact 5.12-1), resulting in impacts to be si8nificant and unavoidable. No feasible mitigation is available to reduce impacts due to cost, aesthetic effects, and adverse impacts to pedestrian and bicycle connectivity, etc. Meanwhile noise effects from railroad operations (Gp EIR lmpact 5.12-3), siting sensitive receptors in proximity to transportation facilities and in proximity to stationary sources (Gp EIR rmpact 5.12-4), and construction activities (Gp EtR lmpact 5.12-5) are considered less than significant thiough compliance with General plan Noise Element policies N1.2, N1.11, and Nl.l7, and the city,s Noise Ordinance. Menifee Housing Element Update ElR. construction of future housing units as facilitated by the HEU would typically involve the following construction sequences: 1. Site preparation and/or demolition 2. Grading and utilities construction 3. Buildingconstruction 4. Paving 5. Architectural coatings Future housing deveropment faciritated by the HEU wourd be required to compry with Menifee Municipal code section 9.2ro.060(c) which exempts construction noise during off hours and Menifee Municipal code section 9.210.060(E)(2) which limits the sound near;nsitive receptor. Additionally, candidate sites did not have site-specific surveys since the sites were evaluated at aprogrammatic level in the HEU ElR. The HEU EIR determined that the HEU would not conflict with the city's noise levels. The HEU does not conflict with existing standards and regulations, as thefuture developments of the HEU wourd comply with the city's goars and policiei and municipar code Policy N-1.2 of the Noise Element requires new developments to comply with the Municlpal code,Title 24 of the california code of Regulations, the california Green Building code, and subdivision and development codes. Future development operational noise impacts would also be evaluated on a project-specific basis. updated Goal HE-l and HE policy 1.2, as detailed in section 4.1.1.1, would ensure ambient noise impacts would remain less than significant.

At full General plan buildout, development in many parts of Menifee would intensify urban uses in currently undeveloped areas. Portions of Menifee that are currently vacant land or farmland would be developed with a mix of residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional uses. Buildout of the proposed Land Use Plan in accordance with the General Plan would result in an increase in traffic on local roadways and t-215 in Menifee, which would substantially increase the existing noise environment. The city of Menifee applies the following noise standards: ordinance No.847, state,s Community Noise and Land Use Compatibility Standards, and the Federal Transit Administration's Transit Noise and vibration lmpact Assessment Manual. Additionally, the Gp EIR concluded that increases of noise levels under individual projects facilitated by the General Plan would occur over time since traffic and noise levels would increase incrementally. 1e 1& The Planning Center and DC&E. 2013.

No candidate housing sites are located within the city,s MRz-1 designated area. candidate sites 42 through 50, 55 through 58, 64, 66 and 69 are within the MRZ-3 area. The remaining candidate sites are within the city's urban areas. Figure 3-3 of the HEU EIR illustrates the locations of the candidate housing sites. The potential for candidate housing sites to contain valuable mineral deposits is presently unknown within MRZ-3 regions. The candidate sites within the city's MRz-3 region are zoned for residential and commercial uses, which would not currently allow for mining activities. sites with this type of zoning are therefore not feasible to contain mining activities. candidate sites within the city's MRz-l region would not affect valuable resources, as MRz-1 areas are considered unlikely to contain valuable mineral resources. Additionally, The state Department of conservation Mines online Map identified only one prospective mine was within the city boundary. This mine is currently closed, and operations had never taken place. Furthermore, no candidate sites are on this closed mining site. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant, and no mitigation is required.rs2 Approved Proiect Mitigation Measures. No mitigation measures were identified in the Menifee Gp EIR or the Menifee HEU ElR. 4.12.1.2 Proposed Project lmpact Analysis The existing setting of the Pro.iect site is mostly vacant/undeveloped with the exception of a self- stora8e facility, plant nursery, and a parking lot. Exhibit osc-3183 of the General plan identifies the proposed Project site as completely within an MRZ-3 zone. The potential for future development facilitated by the proposed project to contain valuable mineral deposits is presently unknown. As mentioned above for the Approved project, neither the county of Riverside nor the city of Menifee have proposed designated mining sites within city boundaries. Furthermore, the proposed project would amend the land use designation and zoning of 533.87 acres within the southern portion of the City from EDG SG to EDC-CC, both of which are land uses and zoning districts incompatible with mining activities. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in new or more severe environmental impacts concerning loss of availability of a known mineral resource or loss of availability of a locally important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan, or other land use plans than anticipated for the Approved project. 132 The Planning center and Dc&E. 2013. city of Menifee Draft Environmental tmpact Report, Menifee General Plan.

GP EIR Figure 5.11-1 depicts Mineral Resources Zones (MRZs)180 map-ped in the city, which include MRz-l, MRZ-3, and Urban Area. The only areas in the san Jacinto Basin that have been designated MRz-2 are known to exist or are considered very rikely to exist are northwest of Lake Elsinore totaling approximately 465 acres, approximately 6 miles west of Menifee,s western boundary. The GP ErR determined that, based on current MRZ designations, it is unrikery that siSnificant mineral resources would be designated in Menifee in the foreseeable future. General Plan buildout would not cause a ross of avairabirity of known significant minerar resources. Additionally, the Mines online map maintained by the office oi Mine Reclamation identified no active mines in Menifee. Neither the county of Riverside nor the city have proposed designated mining sites within city boundaries. Thus, the Gp EIR concluded that the General plan would have 130 MRz-1: Areas where adequate information indicates that no significant minerar deposits are present orwhere it is judged that little likelihood exists for their presence. MRz-2: Areas where adequate information indicates significant minerar deposits are present, or where it is judged that a high likelihood exists for their presence. MRz-3: Areas containing mineral deposits the significance of which cannot be evaluated from availabledata.

Future development facilitated by the proposed project would be subject to compliance with the land use element of the City's General Plan. The Land Use Element outlines specific policies for compatibility that would reduce the amount of conflict between contrasting land uses. Additionally, future housing development facilitated by buildout of the proposed project would be subject to compliance with updated goals, policies, and development standards ofthe Menifee Housing Element update, as well as Title 9 (planning and zoning) of the city Municipal code, which are designed to ensure cohesive development and compatibility between land uses. This also includes the Housing crisis Act (senate Bill 330) which aims to increase residential unit development, protect existing housing inventory, and expedite permit processing. Future development under the proposed project would also be subject to compliance with scAG,s regional transportation and sustainability goals, along with the county of Riverside,s 5KR HCp under site- specific evaluations pursuant to CEQA and the MSHCp. Thus, similar to the Approved project, future development as a result of the proposed project would be consistent with all applicable land use and planning policies and regulations and impacts. The proposed Project would not result in new or more severe environmental impacts concerning consistency with land use plans than anticipated for the Approved project.

The Gp EIR evaluated the General plan,s consistency with various regionally and locally adopted land use plans, policies, and regulations. Gp EtR Table 5.10-l provides an assessment of the Menifee General plan's relationship to pertinent 2012-2035 southern california Association of Governments (scAG) Regional rransportation plan/sustainable communities strategy (RTP/scs) Boals. Relevant policies from the Menifee General plan elements are included. The analysis in the table concluded that the General plan would be consistent with the applicable RTP/SCS goals. Therefore, implementation of the Menifee General plan would not result in significant land use impacts related to relevant RTP/SCS goals. Additionally, GP EIR Section 5.4, Biological Resources, describes the compatibility and consistency of the proposed Land Use Plan with the Western Riverside Multiple Species Habitat Conservation plan (MSHCP) and stephens' Kangaroo Rat Habitat conservation plan (sKR Hcp). Future development facilitated by the General plan would not conflict with the western Riverside MSHcp or sKR Hcp. lmpacts would be similar under the Expanded EDc scenario.

At full General plan buildout, development in many parts of Menifee would implement urban uses in previously-undeveloped areas. portions of Menifee that are currently vacant land or farmland would be developed with a mix of residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional uses. However, implementation of the Menifee General plan and the 2027-2029 Housing Erement update (Approved project) is not expected to physicaly divide established communities. The GP EIR identified that the Land Use Element outiines specific policies for compatibility that would reduce the amount of conflict between contrasting land uses. Land use policies referenced in Gp EIR chapter 5.lo give substantial consideration to the preservation and identity of neighborhoods. These policies are detailed in the General plan,s community Design Element and Land use Element.171 upon implementation of these policies and adherence to the Municipal code, build out of the General plan would not divide communities in Menifee. lmpacts would be less than significant. 172 Menifee Housing Element update ErR.

The GP EIR and HEU EIR for the Approved Project included the proposed Project site under its flood analysis and determined impacts to be less than significant. Future development facilitated from implementation of the proposed project would be required to comply with Floodplain Management for Non-coastal communities regulations (Menifee Municipal code section 4.2). ln the samJ manner as the Approved project, this regulation ensures that all land within flood-prone, mudslide, or flood-related erosion areas under the proposed project would be developed to avoid flood hazards that may impact the pubric. Therefore, the proposed project wourd not resurt in new or more severe environmental impacts concerning release of pollutants from inundation in flood hazard areas than anticipated for the Approved project.

The development fees would be applied to capital improvement funds that would be used for city/vwRD park maintenance and new parkland development. The amount of the fee would be equal to a new deveropment's fair share of the costs of deveroping new parks, open space and recreation facilities, including the acquisition, design, and construction. As detailed under Threshold A of section 4.14 above, the proposed project is consistent with the planned growth of the City and region and therefore would not generate a substantial increase inpopulation within the city. Accordingly, no negative impact related to the city,s adopted goal of 5.0 acres of parkland for every 1,ooo residents would result from implementation of the prop-osed Project. The increased demand for new or expanded park facilities would be negligible. Any future construction of new or expansion of existing park facilities would be subject to project- level environmental review and site-specific mitigation as appropriate in order to ensure signiiicant environmental impacts are avoided or mitigated at the time such development actions are proposed to or by the city. The city'sjoint-use agreement facilities, combined with neighboring parks would offset any incremental increase in parkland demand. The proposed project would not result in new or more severe environmental impacts concerning substantial physical deterioration of park facilities or from construction of park facilities than anticipated for the Approved project.

The Gp ErR analyzed level of service for roadway segments and intersections within the city under three future scenarios: one anterim year scenario (Riverside county lntegrated Project - Rcrp 2035) and two separate buildout (post-2035) scenarios, where the RclP 2035 scenario assumes normar emproyment growth and 30 percent popuration growth in thecity while the Post-2035 buildout scenarios account for full occupancy of residential and nonresidential land uses included in the proposed General Plan Land Use Element under a standard scenario and under the expanded EDc scenario. The roadway segment analysis is presented only as a planning tool to assess the adequacy of the existing and proposed General plan circulation Element functional roadway classifications. rn the city's General plan analysis for roadway segment levels of service, if adjacent intersections provide the lanes needed to achieve acceptable p"J'k ho* level of service, segment capacity improvements between key intersections were generaly not deemed necessary. under the RclP 2035 scenario, the proposed RivTAM roadway network would provide adequate capacity to accommodate interim year 2035 conditions on all of the study area roadway segments GrNri^r Prai AMrxoirrxT axD Ch^rc. or Zotr piorrcr Mrxlrr[, C^LrForir^LSA . lncrease the EDC area o Add 197 acres to the EDc-designated area o lncrease nonretail by 3,260,901 square feet .

Contributions required of individual development projects wiI be determined on a project-by-project basis at the time of development application review and will be based on a traffic analysis undertaken for individual development project applicants. The affected facility (t-215) is under the jurisdiction of caltrans, and the city does not have the authority to implement any recommended improvements or to fund recommended improvements through the city's development impact fees. Therefore, even with implementation of Gp EIR Mitigation Measure 16-3, levels of service impacts to l-215 from McCall Boulevard to south of Scott Road would remain significant and unavoidable.23l The city's circulation network includes not only typical vehicle roadway infrastructure but also infrastructure to facilitate alternative transportation modes including walking, bicycling, transit, and neighborhood electric vehicles such as golf carts. General Plan Policies C2.1 to C2.5 in the Circulataon Element would ensure adequate modes of nonmotorized transportation continue to be provided and expanded where feasible. General Plan Policies C3.1to C3.6 in the Circulation Element would promote transit opportunities throughout the city. By providing alternative mode choices for residents, the city's mobility infrastructure contrlbutes to a reduction in regional GHG emissions from transportation and helps to achieve statewide emission reduction tarBets. Accordingly, the Gp EIR determined that bicycle, pedestrian, transit, neighborhood electric vehicle networks and plans to not conflict with policies, plans, and programs for alternative transportation. No impacts would occur.232 ln summary, level of service impacts to study area roadways and intersections would be reduced to less than significant with implementation of Mitigation Measures Gp EtR 16-1 and Gp EIR 1G-2. Level of service impacts to l-215 from Mccall Boulevard to south of scott Road would remain significant and unavoidable even with Mitigation Measure Gp EtR lo-3. Finally, buildout of the General Plan would not conflict with and therefore have no impact to policies, plans, and programs for alternative transportation. Ultimately, although buildout of the General plan would not conflict with policies, plans, and/or programs regarding alternative transportation, it would conflict with goals established to maintain adequate levels of service for its circulation network designed to accommodate motor vehicles. Even with mitigation, impacts would remain significant and unavoidable. 231 The Planning center and Dc&E.2013. city of Menifee Draft Environmental lmpact Report, Menifee General Plan.

However, the HEU EIR identified the possibility of direct conflict with transportation programs, plans, policies, and ordinances since some candidate sites would be near lnterstate 215. Thus, futuie housing development facilitated by build-out of the Menifee HEU would be subject to compliance with updated goals, policies, and development standards of the Menifee HEU, as well as Title g (planning and Zoning) ofthe city Municipal code, which are designed to ensure cohesive development and compatibility between land uses. Compliance with the General Plan Circulation Element would also be required. The circulation Element provides guidance on the city,s goals for the roadway system, bicycles and pedestrians, publlc transit, NEVs and golf carts, and goods movement. The HEU EIR determined that any future housing development facilitated by the Approved project would not conflict with an adopted program, pran, ordinance, or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities. Goal HE-1 and HE policy 1.7, identified above in Section 4.1.1.1, and HE policy 1.7, Goal HE-2, HE policy 2.2, and HE policy 2.3, as identified in Section 4.1.3.1, would maintain transportation plan impacts at a level of less than significant.233 Approved Project Mitigation Measures. No mitigation measures were identified in the Gp EIR and HEU EIR. 4.17.1.2 Proposed Project lmpact Analysis The existinB setting of the proposed Project site is mostly vacant/undeveloped with the exception of a self-storage facility, a plant nursery, and a parking lot. Most of the proposed project site does not feature sidewalks, bicycle facilities, or transit infrastructure because there are very few roadways and/or developed properties in the area to require them. As future development applications are proposed, projects would be subject to design review pursuant to Title 9 (Planning and zoning) of the City Municipal Code in conjunction with site specific evaluation pursuant to CEQA and ceneral plan policies C2.1 to C2.5 and C3.1 to C3.6 in the circulation Element to ensure land development would include provisions for alternative mobility infrastructure. Typical arternative mobirity infrastructure could incrude roadway frontage improvements such as curb and gutter, sidewalks, street trees, lighting, bike lanes/rouLs in accordance with the circulation Element. Additional improvements could include roadway intersection and segment improvements to include crosswalks and provide additional road width for vehicles and bicycles/neighborhood electric vehicles to co-operate and connect to existing transit facilities in other areas of the city. Finally, Riverside Transit Agency continually reviews and updates transit service in its service territory to address ridership, budget, and community demand needs. changes in land use can affect these periodic adjustments, which may lead either to enhanced or reduced service where appropriate. As specific deveropment projects are reviewed by city staffpursuant to GEQA, the Riverside Transit Agency wourd have opportunity to comment on eachproject to evaluate how it wourd influence ridership and demand.

As a matter of reguratory poricy, any new bus stops wourd be deveroped in accordance with Title Ir, public Accommodations, of 2g code of Federal Regulations part 36, the Americans with Disabilities Act and applicable city standards that support and/or facilitate alternative modes of transportation. Therefore, imprementation of the proposed project wourd notconflict with a program, plan, ordinance, or policy addressing alternative modes of tri nsportatio n. The trip generations for the existing (EDC-SG) and proposed (EDc-cc) mix of land uses within the 533.87 proposed Project site were deveroped using rates obtained from the rnstitute of Transportation Engineers (rrE) Trip Generotion Monuar (rrrh Edition) for Land Uses 220 -"Multifamily Housing (Low-Rise) Not close to Rail rransit,,, 710 - .,General office Building,,, 770 -"Business Park", and 820 - "shopping center (>150)." Appendix B shows the trip generat-ions for theexisting (EDc-sG) and proposed (EDc-cc) mix of rand uses and indicates the proposed (EDC-cc) mixof land uses are anticipated to generate 2,ogo fewer net trips during the a.m. peak hour, 229 more net trips during the p.m. peak hour, and 3,469 fewer net daily trips. As per the City,s LOS Troffic Study Guidelines (revised october 2020), a level of service-based operational analysis is requiied if aproject generates more than 50 peak hour trips. since the proposed (EDc-cc) mix of land uses are anticipated to generate more than 50 net trips during the p.m. peak hour, the city would be requiring site-specific traffic operations analyses to be prepared by individual projects as they areproposed under the proposed proiect pursuant to City policy and Mitigation Measures Gp EIR 16-1. It should be noted, however, that CEeA Guidelines Section 15064.3 ,,describes specific considerations for evaluating a project's transportation impacts,' and provides that, except for roadway capacity projects, "a project's effect on automobile delay shall not constitute a significant environmental impact." (CEeA Guidelines, S 1506a.3(a).) CEeA Guidelines Section 15064.t further specifies that "vehicle miles traveled is the most appropriate measure of transportation impacts.,' Therefore, site-specific traffic operations analyses prescribed by the City for aliprojects anticipated to generate more than 50 net trips during the a.m. or p.m. peak hour wourd be for the purpoie of minimizing traffic congestion pursuant to goals established in the General plan Circulation Element and not pursuant to CEeA. As stated above, implementation ofthe proposed project, in the same manner as the Approved Project, would not conflict with a program, plan, ordinance, or policy addressing alternative modes of transportation. Also, in the same manner as the Approved Project, future development facilitated under the proposed Project would be subject to applicable TUMF fees imposed on new residentiat, industrial, and commercial development through application of the TUMF fee ordinance. Fees would be collected at the building or occupancy permit stage. As prescribed above via Gp EIR Mitigation Measure 16-2, future project applicants under the proposed project would be sublect to the tuvr fee program and wourd pay the requisite TUMF fees at the rates then in effect pursuant to the TUMF ordinance. Additionally, implementation of the proposed project would be subject to Gp EIR Mitigation Measure 16-3 to contribute toward preparation of a deficiency pran as future development contributes vehicle trips to l-215. l-215 is under the jurisdiction of caltrans, and the city does not have the authority to implement any recommended improvements or to fund recommended improvements through the city's development impact fees. Therefore, in the same manner as the Approved Project, levels of service impacts to l-215 under buildout of the proposed Project would remain significant and unavoidable even with implementation of Gp EIR Mitigation Hl6tv Cl.ltvt.nftictY council aa.nd.5\citv colncil la.nd.t 2o23uo2a{1'[ qty co!rcil Aa.n.h\sirn.rursul.2.I ahbit A - Add.ndlh.dod @1/1723D 4_L43 Grrrirr Prar AMrxorr.ir rio Cr^rcr o.

The Housing Element update would faciritate future development of 8,695 dwelling units in Menifee through adoption of development provisions and standards, but it does not include direct physical development of any dwelling units. However, The Menifee HEU EtR identified the possibility of direct traffic impacts as a result of vMT. Future development facilitated by the HEU would be subject to discretionary review to determine if the development would create a significant impact to VMT on a project-specific basis using the following VMT thresholds:23s ADD iDUrr ro rHr Mrrrrrr Griai^! p!^i EivrroiMrxrar lMr^cr nrrorr ^iD 2021-2029 Hou'lrc Errxstr u.o^r€ Ervrf,orMrfir^t lMprcr Rfporr roi pt^trrrG c^3r NuM.ri5 2l 0404 ^il0 21-0405 ocro.ti 2022 GrxrR^r Prar aM toMfir ^tD cH^IlGr or zoxr prorrcr MtnrF!f, c^!foFr r^ A project's effect on vMT would be considered significant if it resulted in either of the following conditions to be satisfied: o The baseline link-level citywide boundary vMT per service population to increase under theplus project condition compared to the no project condition; or . The cumulative link{evel citywide boundary vMT per service population to increase under the plus project condition compared to the no project condition. lf a project is not screened out of a significant VMT impact, transportation demand management (TDM) or payment of lieu-in fee mitiBation would be required to reduce the project-levelilMT below the county General plan Buildout baseline or cumulative vMT per service population. Any such mitigation would be implemented in accordance with city-established TDMs or comply with thepolicies of the General plan and Municipal code, cEeA Guidelines, for TIA and vMT Analysis, and thecalifornia complete streets Act (AB 1358). Furthermore, Goal HE-1 and HE policy 1.2, identified above in section 4.1.1.1, and HE policy 1.7, Goal HE-2, HE policy 2.2, and HE policy 2.3, as identified in section 4.1.3.1, would ensure VMT impacts wourd remain ress than significant.236 Approved Proiect MitiSation Measures. The GP EIR and the HEU EIR did not recommend mitigation measures to reduce VMT impacts for the Approved project. 4.L7 .2.2 Proposed Project tmpact Analysis Per the city's vMT Analysis Guidelines, projects Benerating fewer than 110 daily vehicle trips can be presumed to have a less than significant vMT impact and may be screened from a vMT analysis. As detailed in Appendix B, the proposed (EDc-cc) mix of land uses within the proposed project site are anticipated to generate 3,45g fewer daily trips than the existing (EDc-sG) mix of uses in city,s General Plan under the Approved project. Additionally, the proposed project would contribute toward balance of the job-to-housing ratio in Menifee by increasing both residential development and commercial retail and commercial office development potential in proximity to each other. Land use strategies that would contribute toward balance of the jobs-to-housing ratio would help reduce regional vehicle miles traveled and greenhouse gas emissions. when compared to the Approved Project, implementation of the proposed project would generate 3,469 fewer daily vehicle trips and therefore would not result in a new or more severe environmental impact concerning vMT than anticipated for the Approved project.

Buildout ofthe General Plan would result in select changes to the city,s circulation network. However, it wourd not increase hazards or impact emergency access due to design features of the adopted Riverside county rntegrated plan (RCrp). The ncte gives design recommendation for a broader array of traffic volume conditions and modes to provide appropriate lane capacities within limited rights-of-way. The plan also provides detailed information on lane configurations, shoulders, medians, etc.237 Future projects as a result of the General plan buildout would comply with design guidelines. Additionally, at full General plan buildout, development in many parts of Menifee would create urban uses in currently undeveloped areas, generating employees and residents. However, implementation of the approved General plan is not expectedto result in inadequate emergency access. Policies listed in Gp EIR chapter 5.16 give substantial consideration to the city,s transportation networks. These policies are detailed in the General Plan circulation Element. Upon implementation of these policies and adherence to the M unicipal Code and the RClp, build out of the General pla nwould not affect emergency accesses. Emergency impacts would be less than significant.23s Menifee Housing Element ElR. The city has adopted the California Fire code and Menifee Municipal code section 503.2.2, which applies to all development within Menifee. The code provides firetransportation design features compliance with Riverside county Fire Department standards and Policies. The Fire code also provides standards for additional road dimensions, designs, grades, andother fire safety features. All future development facilitated by the HEU would be siblelt to the City's discretionary review and approval process pursuant to CEeA Guidelines to minimizetransportation-related hazards at project-specific revers. rt is expected that future projects wourd comply with the mentioned codes, goals, policies, regulations, and ordinances.

No mitigation measures were identified in the Gp EIR and the HEU EIR for the Approved project. 4.17.3.2 Proposed Project lmpact Analysis The existing setting of the proposed Project site is mostly vacant/undeveloped with the exception of a self-storage facility, a plant nursery, and a parking lot. Most of the proposed project site does not feature roadways and/or developed properties in the area to result in geometric hazards or inadequate emergency access because there are very few facilities currently within the proposed Project site to facilitate occupancy. The Approved Project analysis identified that City,s LHMp and County,s EOp are the City,s emergency plans. The most current LHMP and Eop were updated in 2021. The Approved project analysis also identified that Menifee has a large percentage of area designated Moderate, High, and Very High Fire Hazard Severity zone (vHFHSZ). The proposed project is not within a vHFHsz, but is adjacent to one on sherman Road (east ofthe project site).2{ As future development applications are proposed, projects would be subject to deslgn review pursuant to Title 9 (planning and Zoning) and Section 503.2.2 of the City Municipal Code in conjunction with the California Fire Code and site- specific plan check by the RCFD and Menifee Police Department to ensure projects are designed and implemented consistent with city standards and requirements. ln the same manner as the Approved Project, future developments implemented under the proposed project would be subject to site-specific plan checks in accordance with CEQA, the RCtp, LHMP, EOp, California Fire Code, Municipal code section 503.2.2, and Housing Element Goal HE-1, HE policy 1.2, HE policy 1.7, Goal HE-2, HE Policy 2.2, and HE Policy 2.3 to ensure implementation of the proposed pro.iect would not result in geometric hazards or inadequate emergency access.

Assembry Bi[ (AB) 52, set forth in chapter 532, statutes of2014, requires that lead agencies evaluate a project's potential impact on tribal cultural resources.The HEU would facilitate future development of 8,89G dwelling units in Menifee through adoption ofdevelopment provisions and standards, but it does not incrude direct physicar deveropment of anydwelling units. Therefore, adoption of the Menifee HEU would not physica[y impact tribar curturarresources. However, the future development of these units was determined to likely impact tribalcultural resources since the candidate sites are vacant and undeveloped and unknown tiibal culturalresources have a higher potentiar of occurring in previousry vacant, undeveroped sites.

At the direction of the qualified archaeologist and tribal monitor/consultant, and in coordination with the Planning and Community Development Department, work may continue on other parts of the affected site while evaluation and, if necessary, additional protective measures are completed at the affected portion ofthe site pursuant to Stote CEOA Guidelines Section 15064.5 [fl. lf a resource is determined by the qualified archaeologist to constitute a ,,historical resource,, or "unique archaeological resource," time and funding to allow for sufficient implementation of avoidance measures must be made available. The treatment plan established for the resources shall be in accordance with Stote CEQA Guidelines Section 15054.5(f) for historical resources. Preservation in place (i.e., avoidance) is the preferred manner of treatment upon identification of unique archeological resources (public Resources Code Section 21083.2(b)). tf preservation in place is not feasible, treatment may include implementation of archaeological data recovery excavations to remove the resource along with subsequent laboratory processing and analysis. All tribal cultural resources shall be returned to the consulting tribe. Any historic archaeological material that is not Native American in origin shall be curated at a public, non-profit institution with a research interest in the materials, such as the San Diego Archeological Center.

This wourdincrease the amount of stormwater runoff, resurting in demand for expanded or new storm drainage facilities. The Generar pran buirdout wourd construct new storm drainage facirities, including a Riverside county Flood control and water conservation District facility in theHomeland/Romoland region. Future deveropment in the Homerand/Romorand reiion wourd berequired to pay up to s12,036 per acre for drainage fees. Additionafly, future projects wourd requireproject-specific environmental review to reduce impacts.2a3 Electricity demand would also result in a net increase due to the General plan buildout. The increasefor electricity was found to be approximatery 709 milion kirowatts per hour or 709 gigawatts peryear. However, the Gp ErR concluded that the Generar pran buirdout is weI within thJcity,s giowth and total estimated electricity consumption in southern California Edison,s service area. General Plan buildout would not require southern carifornia Edison to deverop new or expand on existingelectricity supplies. General pran buirdout wourd arso be weI within forecast of The Gas company,snaturalgas supplies for Menifee's estimated naturar gas consumption. The Gas company wourd notacquire new or expand on existing natural gas supplies.24 Telecommunication facilities available tothe serve the city were also found to also be adequate for future growth.2as Land use policies listed in GP EIR chapter 5.17 give substantial consideration to the full range ofpublic utilities and related services that provide for the immediate and lonB-term needs of ihe community.

(Gp EIR lmpact S.17-3 and HEU EtR tmpact 4.19_3) 4.19.3.1 Approved Project tmpact Analysis Menifee General Plan ElR. General Plan buildout would create a net increase in water demand of about 21.8 mgd. The EMWD operates two treatment plants. At the time of the analysis, the city was proposing a new filtration plant. Three desalters are also included in the EMWD service capacity. These water treatment facilities have a total capacity of almost 900 mgd after completion of the new planned facilities. Thus, the Gp EIR determined sufficient water treatment capacity in the region would meet the forecast increase in water demand as a result of General plan buildout.2s2 Upon implementation of policies and adherence to the Municipal code, build out of the General Plan would be within the capacity of the wastewater treatment provider. lmpacts would be less than significant.2s3 Menifee Housing Element update EtR. The HEU would facilitate future development of u p to g,762 housing units that would generate approximately 4s,925 acre-feet per year of wastewater, which would be treated at a regional water reclamation facility. There are four as noted in Table 4.19-2 of the HEU ElR. The HEU would constitute only 3.5 percent of EMWD'S regional water reclamation facility capacity. Therefore, EMWD has adequate capacity to serve the Approved project,s estimated demand for wastewater treatment. Future development facilitated by build out of the HEU would be subject to compliance with updated goals, policies, and development standards of the Menifee HEU as well as Title 9 (Planning and zoning) of the city Municipal code. Menifee Municipal code Section 15.01 would require future housing development to be subject to discretionary permits and to adhere to all federal, state, and local requirements to reduce wastewater treatment and stormwater runoff impacts during construction and operations. Considering these requirements and the available capacity discussed above, the HEU would not result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider that it has inadequate capacity to serve the project's projected demand in addition to the provider's existing commitments. lmpacts would be less than significant, and mitigation is not required.2sa 2s2 The Planning Center and OC&E.2013.

The landfill has a daily throughput capacity of 16,054 tons and a remaining capacity of r43,g77,rro cubic yards. The HEU would facilitate future development of up to 8,762 housing units. Those g,762 future units would lead to the daily generation of 97,620 pounds of solid waste. This is equivalent to 43.81 tons of solid waste per day. This would compose 0.27 percent of the current daily throughput of the El sobrante Landfill. compliance of Municipal code section 6.30.090 would decrease ihe throughput, which requires that recycling programs and practices divert at least 50 percent of solid waste from landfills. compliance with Assembly Bill 341 would also require efforts to recycle commercial solid waste, which includes paper, plastic, metals, food, yard trimmings, lumber, textiles, and electronic devices.2ss Grrri^r Pr^r AMI,iosrtr ato Clrri6r or Zorr prorr.r Mrrrrtr, C^rrrorrr^LSA Future housing development facilitated by buildout of the Menifee HEU would be subject to compliance with updated goals, policies, and development standards of the HEU as well as Title 9 (Planning and Zoning) of the city Municipal code.

The revised permit would increase the permitted disturbance area of the landfill from 278 acres to 811 acres, which includes expanding the disposal footprint from 150 acres to 396 acres, thereby providing an additional 50 years of needed landfill capacity. The permit would increase the maximum permitted daily tonnage by 500 tons per day, from 4,500 tons per day to 5,000 tons per day.

(Gp EIR lmpact 5.9-4 and HEU ErR 4.20-1) 4.20.1.1 Approved Project tmpact Analysis Menifee General Plan ElR. The city adopted the Riverside county operational Area Emergency operations Plan (EoP) in 2006. The Eop organizes the roles of agencies in emergency preparedness, emergency response, and hazard mitigation. The County of Riverside Local Hazard Mitigation plan, adopted in 2004, identifies and assess local hazards to mitigate potential risks to people and property from natural and man-made hazards including wildfires. lmplementation ofthe General Plan would be consistent with the EOP and the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan's emergency evacuation routes, and would not interfere with the operations of emergency response agencies. Safety policies refenced in GP EIR chapter 5.8 give substantial consideration to the mitigation and response measures for fire impacts in Menifee. These policies are detailed in the General plan Safety Element. Upon implementation of these policies and adherence to the Municipal Code, build out of the General Plan would not substantially conflict with emergency plans in Menifee. tmpacts would be less than significant.258 Menifee Housing Element Update ElR. The City of Menifee created its own Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) in 2015. The LHMP included policies to reduce the risk of impacts as a result of wildfires. The Menifee HEU included an update to the safety Element to incorporate LHMp mitigation policies into the Menifee General Plan. The HEU would facilitate future development of an additional 8,696 dwelling units in Menifee through adoption of development provisions and standards, but it does not include direct physical development of any dwelling units. Therefore, adoption ofthe Menifee HEU would not physically impact emergency plans. Future housinB development facilitated by buildout of the Menifee HEU would be subject to compliance with updated goals, policies, and development standards of the Menifee HEU as well as Title 9 (plannlng and Zoning) of the city Municipal code, which are designed to ensure cohesive development and compatibility between land uses. policies s-4.1, s-4.5, and s-4.7 through s-4.17, as detailed in Section 4.9.7.1, would ensure impacts regarding wildfire remain less than significant.2se Approved Project Mititation Measures.

The Gp ErR determined that the General plan would designate areas for development adjacent to open space. Additionally, future development as a result of General plan buildout would be reviewed on a project-specific basis to ensure compriance with buirding, pranning, and landscaping requirements along with complying with state fire codes. These codes inilude sections on fire-resistant construction material requirements based on buirding use and occupancy. Safety policies refenced in GP EIR chapter 5.8 give substantial consideration to the mitigation andresponse measures for fire impacts in Menifee.

The GP EIR identified that a significant portion of Menifee is composed of hillside terrain featuring rural to semi-ruraldevelopment. Slope instability remains a potential hazard that would be evaluated in geotechnical investigations for each project in hillside areas.257 Future development as a result of General plan buildout would be requlred to include project- specific geotechnical reports and comply with recommendations from the reports to reduce landslides and slope instabilities. Site-specific recommendations must be provided by a Beotechnical engineer.258 Additionally, future development and or redevelopment would comply with the Ms4 Permit to reduce flooding and surface runoff (See Section 4.10, Hydrology and Water euality, for further discussion). The GP EIR found that no substantial impacts to storm drainage capacity would occur. The entirety of Menifee is within the jurisdiction ofthe santa Ana Region Regional water Quality control Board. Thus, compliance respecting discharges to municipalstorm drains would be pursuant to Order No. R8-2013-0024 and regulated under Order No. R8-2010-0033. Policies referenced in GP EIR Chapter 5.9 give substantial consideration to protecting the city from natural hazards. These policies are detalled in the General plan Safety Element. Upon implementation ofthese policies and adherence to the Municipalcode, buildout ofthe General plan would not expose people and structures significant risks due to runoff, post-fire slope instability, or drainage changes in VHFHSZ. lmpacts would be less than significant.26s Menifee Housing Element Update ElR. Two candidate sites are within flood hazard areas, requiring these sites to attain flood insurance at the time of their project-specific environmental review (Section 4.10, Hydrology and Water Quality). Additionally, policies in the Safety element require continued coordination with Federal Emergency Management Agency to reduce impacts of flooding. Landslides in Menifee have never been recorded; however, future development in the city must complete a fire hazard review of their project-specific plans. Future housing development facilitated by build-out of the Menifee HEU would be subject to compliance with updated goals, policies, and development standards of the Menifee HEU as well as Title 9 (planning and zoning) of the city Municipal code, which are designed to ensure cohesive development and compatibility between land uses.

Future development of the proposed project would be on parcels that are within the Approved project boundary; as such, the wildfire impact analysis presented in the Approved project has considered the proposed Project site. Future development of the proposed project would continue to adhere to applicable goals, policies, and regulations prescribed in the Gp ErR and HEU ErR for the Approved project (e.g., poticies s-+.r, s-4.5, and s-4.7 through s-4.17, as detaired in section 4.9.7.1) wourd ensure fire-resistant development. Additionally, project-specific environmental review for future development would also be required and would include hydrology reports and drainage plans (see section 4.10 of this addendum for more details), as well as site-specific geotechnical investigations (refer to Section 4.7 of this addendum), that would incorporate recommendations for project design to minimize wildfire impacts and associated risks from water hazards. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in new or more severe environmental impacts concerning wildfire impacts and associated risks from water hazards in VHFHSZ than anticipated for the Approved project.

The program has been prepared in compliance with state law, the city of Menifee General plan Environmentar rmpact Report (cp ErR) (state crearinghouse No. 2012071033), and the city ofMenifee Housing Element update Environmentar Impact Report (HEU etR) (siate crearinghouse No.2021020037. The California Environmental euality Act (CEeA) requires adoption of a reporting or monitoringprogram for those measures praced on a project to mitigate or avoid adverse effects on theenvironment (Pubric Resource code section 210g1.6). The raw states that the reporting ormonitoring program shal be designed to ensure compriance during project imprementation. The monitoring program contains the following elements. 1. The mitigation measures are recorded with the action and procedure necessary to ensure compliance. rn some instances, one action may be used to veriry implementation of severalmitigation measures. 2 A procedure for compliance and verification has been outlined for each action necessary. Thisprocedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and to whom and when compliance will be reported. 3. The program has been designed to be frexibre. As monitoring progresses, changes to comprianceprocedures may be necessary based upon recommendations by those responsibre for the'program. As changes are made, new monitoring compliance procedures and records will be developed and incorporated into the program. This Miti8ation Monitoring and Reporting Program includes mitigation identified in the certified ElRs. 7.2 MITIGATION MONITORING AND RESPONSIBITITIES As the Lead Agency, the city of Menifee (city) is responsible for ensuring full compliance with themitigation measures adopted for the proposed project. The city will monitor and report on all mitigation activities. Mitigation measures will be implemented at different stages oi development throughout the project site. tn this regard, the responsibilities for implementation have been assigned to the City, Contractor, or a combination thereof. lf during the course of project implementation, any of the mitigation measures identified herein cannot be successfully implemented, the city shall be immediately informed, and the city will then inform any affected 7.0 MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM H:\ciwcl'rk\A8end.3\citvcoun.ilAeend.s\ctycounc agendas 2023\2023{1- 18 cirv counc agenda\sign.t! r.sU 1.2.1 Exhibit A - addend! m .docx <alD /23, 7-1 LSA GrNrRAr Pr^N AMrNDMrxr AnD CH^rGr or Zo r pRorEcT Mrrrrr€, C^tlroi r^ ADDT DUM To rHr MrNrErr Gr rRAr prAN Efivrro Mrrrar MPAcr RrpoFr ^xD 2021,2029 Holr, G EtrMrNr UpoArr Erv Ro MrNr^r rMpAcr RrroR, foi Pr^rirxrNc c^!r NuMBrnr 21 0404 ano 21-0405 responsible agencies.
