CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Sprouts Farmers Market Finding of Public Convenience
or Necessity, PLN20-0099
MEETING DATE: July 22, 2020
TO: Planning Commission
PREPARED BY: Brandon Cleary, Assistant Planner
REVIEWED BY: Kevin Ryan, Planning Manager
APPROVED BY: Cheryl Kitzerow, Community Development Director
APPLICANT: Terri Dickerhoff, Sprouts Farmer's Market
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Conduct a Public Hearing;
2. Adopt a Resolution approving findings for Public Convenience or Necessity No. PLN20-
0099 for the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off-premises consumption based
upon the findings and conclusions.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Public Convenience or Necessity No. PLN 20-0099 is an application for public convenience
or necessity findings to allow for the sale of beer and wine for off-premises consumption (Type
20) at an approved Sprouts Farmer’s market grocery store located at the southwest corner of
Newport Road and Calle Tomas. The findings are required by the California Department of
Alcoholic Beverages Control (ABC) due to an overconcentration of alcohol licenses in the area.
DISCUSSION
Project Location
The site is located on the southwest corner of Newport Road and Calle Tomas within the City of
Menifee, County of Riverside, State of California (APN 360-860-001 and 360-860-002).

Background
The 22,610 square foot Sprouts Farmer’s Market grocery store was approved on October 3rd
2019, by the City of Menifee Community Development Department under Plot Plan No. 2018-
217, as part of a 78,417 square foot commercial center. Because the grocery store exceeds an
area of 20,000 square feet, sells primarily groceries, and will not sell fuel, it does not require a
Conditional Use Permit for the off-site sale of alcohol pursuant to the City of Menifee Municipal
Code Chapter 9.250 Alcohol Beverage Sales, Consumption and Manufacturing.
Public Convenience and Necessity
The project site is located in Census Tract 427.42 which is bounded by Newport Road on the
north, the I-215 freeway to the east, Holland Road to the south, and Murrieta Road to the west.

July 22, 2020
Page 3 of 4
Although the off-site sale of alcohol does not require the approval of a conditional use permit,
the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) does require a Finding of Public
Convenience or Necessity based on an overconcentration of licenses within the census tract.
Two (2) off-site sales (Type 20 and 21) licenses are allowed within the subject census tract
based on the established ABC thresholds. Currently, six (6) active off-site sales licenses exist
for the following businesses:
1) Target located in the Countryside Marketplace on the southeast corner of
Newport Road and Haun Road;
2) Menifee Car Wash on the southeast corner of Newport Road and Winterhawk
Road;
3) CVS Pharmacy on the southeast corner of Newport Road and Bradley Road;
4) Menifee Arco Gas Station on the southwest corner of Newport Road and Bradley
Road;
5) Texaco Gas Station on the southeast corner of Newport Road and Murrieta
Road,
6) Aldi on the southwest corner of Haun Road and Village Road.
The Sprouts Farmer’s Market store will be located in an area that is an existing hub of
commercial activity for the area west of the I-215 Freeway. This application for Findings of
Public Convenience or Necessity should not result in an over-concentration of off-site licenses,
as the existing off-site licenses are located in different commercial centers spread throughout
the census tract.
The required findings address the project’s proximity to schools, parks, churches, and the future
operations of the applicant. The applicant is an established supermarket chain and offers the
Census Tract 427.42

sale of beer and wine at all of its locations. Approval of the request would provide a
convenience to the public as customers would be able to purchase alcoholic beverages as part
of their grocery shopping and not have to make a separate trip to a different merchant.
Although the project is located near single family residences, the applicant’s operations would
be directed away from these uses due to a landscaped buffer and a 6 foot high screen wall
between the grocery store and adjacent residential uses to the south and west of the project
site. Therefore, the finding of public necessity or convenience can be made.
Environmental Determination
All impacts associated with the development of the Spouts Farmer’s Market were analyzed with
the review of the Menifee Town Center Specific Plan application (SP2009-069) for the project.
An Environmental Impact Report was prepared for SP 2009-069 and was adopted by the City of
Menifee. The Public Convenience or Necessity findings will not result in any additional impacts;
therefore, no further environmental review is required. Furthermore, the project is categorically
exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) (General Rule) of the CEQA Guidelines because “it can
be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a
significant effect on the environment.”
FINDINGS
Findings for the approval of the Public Convenience or Necessity are included in Planning
Commission Resolution attached.
PUBLIC NOTICE
The proposed project was noticed on July 12, 2020 and published within The Press Enterprise.
Notices were also mailed to property owners within a 1,000 foot radius of the project site and an
on-site public notice sign was placed on the property. All relevant public agencies were also
notified of the public hearing. Please see the attached labels and radius map located within the
last few pages of the staff report package.

RESOLUTION NO. PC20-_____
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MENIFEE APPROVING A FINDING OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE OR
NECESSITY NO. PLN20-0099 FOR THE SALE OF BEER AND WINE
FOR OFF-PREMISES CONSUMPTION AT “SPROUTS FARMER’S
MARKET”
WHEREAS, March 20, 2020, the applicant, Terri Dickerhoff, filed a formal
application with the City of Menifee for a finding of Public Convenience or Necessity for
the sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits (Type 20 License) for off-premises
consumption at an approved “Sprouts Farmer’s Market” located at the southeast corner
of Newport Road and Calle Tomas in the City of Menifee (APN 360-860-001 and 360-
860-002); and,
WHEREAS, The California Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Act requires the
local jurisdiction to make a finding of Public Convenience or Necessity prior to the ABC
granting the license, when said retail license would be located in a census tract of undue
concentration of retail licenses or if the granting of the retail license would cause a
census tract to have an undue concentration.
WHEREAS, The California ABC Board has determined that for this Census Tract
No. 0427.42, two (2) off-site (Type 20 and 21) licenses are allowed and more than two
(2) licenses are currently active. Therefore, the granting of this liquor license would
cause this census tract to be over-concentrated by ABC’s determination.
WHEREAS, on July 22, 2020, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed
public hearing on the Project, considered all public testimony as well as all materials in
the staff report and accompanying documents for Public Convenience and Necessity No.
PLN20-0099, which hearing was publicly noticed by a publication in the newspaper of
general circulation, an agenda posting, and notice to property owners within 1,000 feet
of the Project boundaries, and to persons requesting public notice; and,
NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of Menifee resolves as
follows:
Section 1. With regard to Public or Convenience Necessity Application No. PLN20-
0099, the Planning Commission hereby makes the following findings:
1. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and development
code.
The Sprouts Farmer’s Market store is located in the southern portion of
an approved commercial retail center (Plot Plan No. 2018-217). The
project site is located within the Menifee Town Center Specific Plan
(Specific Plan No. 2009-069) Planning Area 1 in which a grocery store is
a permitted use. The sale of alcohol is an ancillary use permitted within
the grocery store. Therefore, the proposed use of off-site sales of beer
and wine is consistent with the City of Menifee General Plan and
Development Code with the approval of this public convenience and
necessity.
2. The proposed use is compatible with the nature, condition and character
of adjacent land uses.

Public Convenience and Necessity No. PLN20-0099
July 22, 2020
The Sprouts Farmer’s Market store is located in the southern portion of
an approved commercial retail center (Plot Plan No. 2018-217). There
are existing residential uses to the west and south of the shopping center;
however, the Sprouts Farmer’s Market store is buffered from these
residential uses by a landscaped buffer and 6 foot high screen wall.
Therefore, the project will not impact the nature, condition or character of
the adjacent uses.
3. The proposed use would not have an adverse effect on adjacent land
uses.
The proposed off-site beer and wine sales (Type 20 license) will not have
an adverse effect on adjacent land uses as the Sprouts Farmer’s Market
is located within an approved commercial shopping center has landscape
buffering including a 6 foot tall block wall. The sale of beer and wine will
not interfere with the quiet enjoyment of the neighboring residential
properties by their residents.
4. The proposed use would not result in an excessive number of similar
establishments in close proximity.
The Sprouts Farmer’s Market store will be located in an area that is an
existing hub of commercial activity for the area west of the I-215 Freeway.
This application for Findings of Public Convenience or Necessity should
not result in an excessive number of off-site licenses, as the existing off-
site licenses are located in different commercial centers spread
throughout the census tract.
5. The proposed use will be essential or desirable to the public convenience
or welfare and will not impair the integrity and character of the zone
district or be detrimental to the public health, safety, morals or welfare.
The Sprouts Farmer’s Market store is primarily engaged in the sale of
groceries and general merchandise, and the sale of alcohol is ancillary.
Residents picking up general merchandise and groceries would be able
to purchase alcohol at the same time as purchasing these other items.
Therefore, the project provides the public convenience for the residents of
the surrounding community.
6. Notice of hearing shall be given to all owners of property within 1,000 feet
of the subject facility, to any elementary school or secondary school
district within those boundaries the facility is located and to any public
entity operating a public park or playground within 1,000 feet of the
subject facility. The Community Development Director may require that
additional notice be given, in a matter the Director deems necessary or
desirable to other persons or public entities.
The proposed project was noticed on July 9, 2020 and published within
The Press Enterprise. Notices were also mailed to property owners within
a 1,000 foot radius of the project site and an on-site public notice sign
was placed on the property. All relevant public agencies were also
notified of the public hearing.

A PUBLIC HEARING has been scheduled, pursuant to the City of Menifee Municipal Code, before the CITY OF
MENIFEE PLANNING COMMISSION to consider the project shown below:
Project Title: “Public Convenience or Necessity Findings for
the Sale of Beer and Wine for Off-Site Consumption for
Sprouts Farmer’s Market” - PCN No. PLN20-0099.
Project Location: The site is located on the southeast corner of
Newport Road and Calle Tomas within the City of Menifee,
County of Riverside, State of California (APN 360-860-001 and
360-860-002).
Project Proposal: Public Convenience or Necessity No.
PLN20-0099 is an application for public convenience and
necessity findings to allow for the issuance of a California
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Type 20
license for the sale of beer and wine for off-premises
consumption at an approved “Sprouts Farmer’s Market.” The
Sprouts Farmer’s Market store will be located at the Center
Pointe Commercial Center within Menifee Town Center. The
hours of operation for the store will be 7 am to 10 pm.
Project Data: General Plan Land Use: Specific Plan (SP) Zoning: Menifee Town Center Specific Plan (SP 2009-069).
Environmental Information: All impacts associated with the development of the Spouts Farmer’s Market were analyzed
with the review of the Menifee Town Center Specific Plan application (SP2009-069) for the project. An Environmental
Impact Report was prepared for SP 2009-069 and was adopted by the City of Menifee. The Public Convenience or
Necessity findings will not result in any additional impacts; therefore, no further environmental review is required.
Furthermore, the project is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) (General Rule) of the CEQA Guidelines
because “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect
on the environment.”

decision on the proposed project.
If this project is challenged in court, the issues may be limited to those raised at the public hearing, described in
this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the Planning Commission at, or prior to, the public hearing.
Be advised that as a result of public hearings and comment, the Planning Commission may amend, in whole or in
part, the proposed project. Accordingly, the designations, development standards, design or improvements, or
any properties or lands within the boundaries of the proposed project, may be changed in a way other than
specifically proposed.

A PUBLIC HEARING has been scheduled, pursuant to the City of Menifee Municipal Code, before the CITY OF
MENIFEE PLANNING COMMISSION to consider the project shown below:
Project Title: “Public Convenience or Necessity Findings for the Sale of Beer and Wine for Off-Site Consumption
for Sprouts Farmer’s Market” - PCN No. PLN20-0099.
Project Location: The site is located on the southeast corner of Newport Road and Calle Tomas within the City of
Menifee, County of Riverside, State of California (APN 360-860-001 and 360-860-002).
Project Proposal: Public Convenience or Necessity No. PLN20-0099 is an application for public convenience and
necessity findings to allow for the issuance of a California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Type 20
license for the sale of beer and wine for off-premises consumption at an approved “Sprouts Farmer’s Market.” The
Sprouts Farmer’s Market store will be located at the Center Pointe Commercial Center within Menifee Town Center. The
hours of operation for the store will be 7 am to 10 pm.
Project Data: General Plan Land Use: Specific Plan (SP) Zoning: Menifee Town Center Specific Plan (SP 2009-069).
Environmental Information: All impacts associated with the development of the Spouts Farmer’s Market were analyzed
with the review of the Menifee Town Center Specific Plan application (SP2009-069) for the project. An Environmental
Impact Report was prepared for SP 2009-069 and was adopted by the City of Menifee. The Public Convenience or
Necessity findings will not result in any additional impacts; therefore, no further environmental review is required.
Furthermore, the project is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) (General Rule) of the CEQA Guidelines
because “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect
on the environment.”
Any person wishing to comment on the proposed project may do so in writing between the date of this notice
and the public hearing; or, may appear and be heard at the time and place noted above. All comments must be
received prior to the time of public hearing. All such comments will be submitted to the Planning Commission,
and the Planning Commission will consider such comments, in addition to any oral testimony, before making a
decision on the proposed project.
If this project is challenged in court, the issues may be limited to those raised at the public hearing, described in
this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the Planning Commission at, or prior to, the public hearing.
Be advised that as a result of public hearings and comment, the Planning Commission may amend, in whole or in
part, the proposed project. Accordingly, the designations, development standards, design or improvements, or
any properties or lands within the boundaries of the proposed project, may be changed in a way other than
specifically proposed.
For further information regarding this project, please contact Brandon Cleary, at (951) 723-3761 or e-mail
bcleary@cityofmenifee.us, or go to the City of Menifee’s agenda web page at http://www.cityofmenifee.us.
The case file for the proposed project may be viewed Monday through Thursday, from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. at the
Community Development Department office, located at 29844 Haun Road, Menifee, CA 92586.

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Valley Boulevard Residential Subdivision, TTM 2015-211
MEETING DATE: July 22, 2020
TO: Planning Commission
PREPARED BY: Manny Baeza, Senior Planner
REVIEWED BY: Kevin Ryan, Planning Manager
APPROVED BY: Cheryl Kitzerow, Community Development Director
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Conduct a Public Hearing; and
2. Adopt a Resolution adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration, based on the findings
incorporated in the Initial Study and the conclusion that the project will not have a significant
effect on the environment; and
3. Adopt a Resolution approving Tentative Tract Map No. 2015-211 (TTM 36911) subject to
the Conditions of Approval and based upon the findings and conclusions incorporated in the
staff report and Resolution.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Tentative Tract Map No. TR2015-211 (also referred to as Tentative Tract Map No. 36911) to
subdivide 26.95 gross acres into 68 single family residential lots with a minimum lot size of
7,200 square feet and ten (10) common area lots including three (3) lots for water quality
basins.
PROJECT LOCATION
The project site is located on the west side of Valley Boulevard north and south of Chambers
Avenue (APNs 335-080-56, 335-080-066, 335-080-067 and a portion of 335-070-054), within
the City of Menifee.

Project Location
General Plan and Zoning
The General Plan land use designation of the project site is 2.1-5 Residential (2.1-5 R). The 2.1-
5R General Plan land use designation is intended for single-family detached and attached
residences with a density range of two (2) to five (5) dwelling units per acre. The project
proposes a 68-lot single-family residential subdivision with a density of 2.5 dwelling units per
acre. Therefore, the project is consistent with the 2.1-5R General Plan designation.
The project is surrounded by properties designated by the General Plan as 2.1-5 Residential
(2.1-5R), Specific Plan (Cimarron Ridge) and 5.1-8 Residential (5.1-8R) to the north, 2.1-5R to
the south, 5.1-8R to the east, and 2.1-5R and the Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan to the west.
These classifications are compatible with the existing General Plan designation of the subject
site.

General Plan Designation
The current zoning designation of the project site is Low Density Residential (LDR-2). The LDR-
2 designation is intended for single-family detached and attached residences with a minimum lot
size of 7,200 square feet. However, this project was deemed complete prior to the current
zoning designation becoming effective and was therefore reviewed under the previous zoning
designation for the site, One Family Dwellings (R-1). The R-1 zone was also intended for single-
family detached and attached residences with a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet. As
mentioned above, the project proposes a 68-lot single-family (detached) residential subdivision
with a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet; therefore, the project is consistent with both the
LDR-2 and R-1 zoning designations.
Surrounding zoning designations include Low Density Residential (LDR-2) and Cimarron Ridge
Specific Plan to the north, LDR-2 to the south, Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR), Open
Space-Recreation (OS-R) to the east, and LDR-1 to the west. These classifications are
compatible with the existing zoning designation of the subject site.

Analysis
Project Design and Access
The project site consists of a generally narrow collection of properties that follows the existing
alignment of Valley Boulevard. The proposed map creates 68 internally facing single family
residential lots, situated on two (2) proposed streets that have a north-south alignment that run
parallel to Valley Boulevard.
The tract will provide two (2) access points off Valley Boulevard for the development. The
northern access point to the tract aligns with and will extend Chambers Avenue through the
project. The southern access point aligns with Connie Way and would also run through the

development. West of Lots 9 through 27 there exists dedicated right of way for the west half of
Byers Road. As part of the project, the east half of Byers Road will be dedicated and improved
with half-width improvements including sidewalk and street trees. South of Byers Road, Open
Space Lot 78 is proposed to provide access to lots immediately west of the project. Although
not required by the General Plan the project will also provide a 10-foot wide decomposed
granite (DG) trail along Valley Boulevard to connect to the trails required to be constructed by
the Cimarron Ridge project immediately north of the project.
The tract proposes a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet and a minimum pad size of 6,000
square feet. Lot sizes range from 7,226 square feet to 20,068 square feet, with an average of
9,707 square feet. Most residential lots will contain back yard slopes. To insure that there will
be adequate usable rear yards, a condition has been added requiring that there is a minimum
10-foot level area from the back of any future home to the closest edge of any rear yard slope or
face of a retaining wall.
The proposed project would not impact surrounding land uses which are predominantly vacant
land and/or residential. The site layout, circulation and lot size meet code requirements, General
Plan and General Plan land use policies.
Walls, Fencing, and Monument Signage
The conceptual landscape plan for the project includes six (6) foot decorative perimeter/sound
walls along the boundaries of the entire project site. The perimeter walls will be designed as
split-face block with decorative pilasters and caps. A 6’ tubular steel fence is proposed at the
three (3) proposed basins. 6’ tall vinyl side yard fences are proposed between each lot. A split
rail fence would be provided along Valley Boulevard between the sidewalk and DG trail.
The project will incorporate monument signage at each access point at Valley Boulevard
(Connie Way and Chambers Avenue). The concept design for the monuments include
alternating bands of split face and precision block with diagonal band of river rock veneer and a
natural gray cap. Lettering will be raised metal powder coated black. Lighting is also proposed
for the monuments which shall be consistent with Chapter 6.01 of the Menifee Municipal Code.

The final design and locations of proposed walls and fencing and monument signage will be
reviewed by the Community Development Department during post entitlement.
Landscaping
As shown on the preliminary landscape plan the project will be provided with themed street
trees, shrubs, groundcover and landscaping necessary for the stabilization of slopes throughout
the site. Final approval of landscaping for the project will be completed during post entitlement
review of the development.

Drainage
A typical drainage detail has been provided for single family lots. Lots 1 through 35, and 59
through 68 are designed to drain to their street frontage. Lots 36 through 60 will drain into a
rear yard V-ditch. Onsite rainfall runoff / storm water will drain to a system of storm drain pipes
onsite that will route a portion of the onsite runoff to three (3) onsite water quality basins, while
the remaining onsite storm water will be routed to an offsite storm drain system that will run
northerly along Valley Boulevard.
The water quality basin and storm drain systems described above will be constructed by the
developer of the project. Both permanent and temporary drainage systems will be put in place
during construction, to ensure that City and State storm water regulations are complied with.
Parks, Recreation, and Trails Commission
The project was presented to the Parks, Recreation and Trails Commission on June 4, 2020.
The Commission recommended payment of park fees to satisfy the parkland requirement for the
tract.
Public Comments
Comments were received from three (3) residents on the project. Email comments that were
received from two (2) commenters are attached along with staff’s response. Staff responded to
the third comment letter (from Dawn Lewis) by phone. She stated that she was generally
opposed to additional growth and increased traffic.
Environmental Determination
The City of Menifee Community Development Department has determined that the above
project will not have a significant effect on the environment and has recommended adoption of a
Mitigated Negative Declaration. Mitigation Measures have been included for Air Quality,
Biological Resources, Geology, Noise, and Traffic. In addition, the project site is not included on
a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5
(California Department of Toxic Substances Control list of various hazardous sites). The 30-day
public review period for the project started on June 17, 2020 and closed on July 16, 2020. All
technical studies used for the preparation of the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration can
be accessed on the City’s website https://www.cityofmenifee.us/325/Environmental-Notices-
Documents.
FINDINGS
Findings for the Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Tentative Tract Map are included in the
attached Resolutions for each.
PUBLIC NOTICE
The Notice of Intent (NOI) for the proposed project was initially published for a 20 day public
review period on June 1, 2020. Due to revisions pertaining to Traffic and Biological Resources
the project was noticed a second time for a separate 30 day public review period circulated on
June 17, 2020 and ending on July 16, 2020. An additional 10-Day Notice for Public Hearing

0.15 acres, two entry monuments totaling 0.2 acres, a fire turnaround totaling 0.24 acres, and an
access way totaling 0.1 acre. Refer to Figure 3, Site Plan Concept.
Site Preparation/Phasing
While the project site is relatively flat through most of the site, the project proposes 138,692 cubic
yards of cut, with a need for 108,506 cubic yards of fill, for a net of 30,186 cubic yards of export of
material.
The project is anticipated to be constructed in one phase. Grading is anticipated to last
approximately four months and approximately 18 to 24 months of construction activity. Project
operations are anticipated to begin in June 2021.
Access and Circulation
Vehicular access to the site will be provided via one access point on Connie Way at Valley
Boulevard, and one access point on Chambers Avenue at Valley Boulevard. Primary access would
be from Valley Boulevard. The project also provides interior street improvements, which would be
public roads (currently identified as Byers Road, Foothill Avenue, and Street “A”), for internal
circulation. Internal roadways would be 60 feet wide, including sidewalks on both sides.
No bicycle infrastructure is proposed as part of the project; however, On-street Class II bike lanes
are provided along Valley Boulevard, Chambers Avenue and Rouse Road near the project site,
and Class III bike routes are provided on Connie Way.
Other Site Improvements and Amenities
The project includes three water quality basins totaling approximately 1.5 acres.
Infrastructure, Utilities, and Public Services
Onsite infrastructure will include approximately 0.15 acres of storm drain easements through the
project site.
Onsite infrastructure will include associated internal roadways, drainage facilities, and three
detention basins. The detention basins will be in the following locations: Detention Basin #1 will be
located just east of Street “A” cul-de-sac and west of Valley Boulevard; Detention Basin #2 will be
located north of Chambers Avenue, east of Valley Boulevard, and west of Foothill Avenue; and
Detention Basin #3 will be located at the northwest corner of the site, just west of the Foothill
Avenue cul-de-sac.
The following public services are available to the Project:
• Fire Protection Services (City of Menifee through contract with the Riverside County Fire
Department);
• Police Protection Services (City of Menifee Police Department);
• Public Schools (Romoland School District and Perris Union High School District)

9. Surrounding Land Uses and Environmental Setting:
The project site is currently vacant and the site elevation ranges from a low of 1,484± feet above
mean sea level (msl) in the northern portion of the project site to a high of 1,560± feet above msl
in the southwestern portion of the assessment area. This represents an elevational change across
the assessment area of 76± feet. The entire site consists of undulating, sloping land among sage
scrub habitat. The project site has been impacted by anthropogenic activities. Vegetation has been
disturbed by dirt roads, vegetation removal for fire breaks, unauthorized access and adjacent land
uses. Land use in the surrounding area varies between natural, semi-rural and single-family
residential.2

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:
1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately
supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each
question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show
that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside
a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-
specific factors as well as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors
to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis).
2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site,
cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational
impacts.
3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the
checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant
with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is
substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially
Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required.
4) "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the
incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to
a "Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and
briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from
"Earlier Analyses," as described in (5) below, may be cross-referenced).
5) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process,
an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. State CEQA
Guidelines §15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following:
a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review.
b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the
scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal
standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on
the earlier analysis.
c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures
Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the
earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.
6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources
for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared
or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where
the statement is substantiated.
7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or
individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion.
8) This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead
agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's
environmental effects in whatever format is selected.
9) The explanation of each issue should identify:
a) the significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and
b) the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance.

Except as provided in Public Resources Code Section 21099, would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista?
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including,
but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic
buildings within a state scenic highway?
c) In non urbanized areas, substantially degrade the
existing visual character or quality of public views of the
site and its surroundings? (Public views are those that
are experienced from publicly accessible vantage
point). If the project is in an urbanized area, would the
project conflict with applicable zoning and other
regulations governing scenic quality?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare
which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in
the area?

Plan Figure 5, “Mt. Palomar Nighttime Lighting Policy”; MGP Draft EIR; State of California, Department of
Transportation, California State Scenic Highway Mapping System; Ordinance No. 655 (Regulating Light
Pollution); City of Menifee Ordinance 2009-24 (Dark Sky) (Menifee Municipal Code 6.01).
Applicable General Plan Policies:
Goal C-6: Scenic highway corridors that are preserved and protected from change which would
diminish the aesthetic value of lands adjacent to the designated routes.
Policy C-6.1: Design developments within designated scenic highway corridors to balance the
objectives of maintaining scenic resources with accommodating compatible land uses.
Policy C-6.4: Incorporate riding, hiking, and bicycle trails and other compatible public recreational
facilities within scenic corridors.
Policy C-6.5: Ensure that the design and appearance of new landscaping, structures, equipment,
signs, or grading within eligible county scenic highway corridors are compatible with the surrounding
scenic setting or environment.
Goal CD-3: Projects, developments, and public spaces that visually enhance the character of the
community and are appropriately buffered from dissimilar land uses so that differences in type and
intensity do not conflict.
Policy CD-3.1: Preserve positive characteristics and unique features of a site during the design and
development of a new project; the relationship to scale and character of adjacent uses should be
considered.
Policy CD-3.2: Maintain and incorporate the City's natural amenities, including its hillsides, indigenous
vegetation, and rock outcroppings, within proposed projects.

Analysis of Project Effect and Determination of Significance:
Impact I.a) Less Than Significant Impact. Under CEQA, a scenic vista is defined as a viewpoint that
provides expansive views of a highly-valued landscape for the public’s benefit. Scenic vistas can be
impacted by development in two ways. First, a structure may be constructed that blocks the view of a vista.
Second, the vista itself may be altered (i.e., development on a scenic hillside). Menifee’s natural
mountainous setting is critical to its overall visual character, and provides scenic vistas for the community.
Topography and a lack of dense vegetation or urban development offer scenic views throughout the City,
including to and from hillside areas. Scenic features include gently sloping alluvial fans, rugged mountains
and steep slopes, mountain peaks and ridges, rounded hills with boulder outcrops, farmland and open
space. Scenic vistas provide views of these features from public spaces. Many scenic resources are
outside the City limits and beyond the planning area boundary. Scenic views from Menifee include: the
San Jacinto Mountains to the northeast and east, the San Bernardino Mountains to the north, the San
Gabriel Mountains to the northwest, and the Santa Ana Mountains to the west and southwest. The Canyon
Lake Reservoir is adjacent to the City’s western boundary and approximately 3.5 miles southwest of the
project site.
The project site is a vacant lot bounded by vacant land to the north, south, and west, and by Valley
Boulevard to the east. It is planned that in the future, Chambers Avenue will traverse the project site.
Additionally, Connie Way would provide access on the south of the site. The project site is not considered
to be within or comprise a portion of a scenic vista. While the project would construct new single-family
residential structures on a site that is currently vacant, the structures would be similar to the residential
uses directly east of the project site. As such, the project would not introduce a new visual obstacle to an
existing scenic vista. Land to the northwest of the project site is currently being graded for residential
development associated with the Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan. Therefore, the proposed project would
have a less than significant impact on scenic vistas.
Impact I.b) Less Than Significant Impact. While the project is not adjacent to an officially designated
state scenic highway, it is located approximately 1.3 mile west of an eligible County Scenic Highway (I-
215) as identified on the California Scenic Highway Mapping System and the Menifee General Plan3. An
existing residential neighborhood is located directly in between the I-215 and the project site. Further,
project site is within a suburbanized area comprised of residential neighborhoods and vacant land, as well
as surface street features, and does not contain significant trees, rock outcroppings, or historical buildings.

Therefore, the project would not substantially damage scenic resources within a state scenic highway and
no mitigation would be required.
Impact I.c) Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is located in an area of the City that is adjacent
to residential developments to the east, and to vacant non-urbanized land to the north, south, and west.
Given that the project site is bounded by vacant land planned for future housing and next to existing
residences, the project site is not located in a non-urbanized area. The proposed project would not result
in a significant impact and would not substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of public
views of the project site and its surroundings. Degradation of visual character or quality is defined by
substantial changes to the existing site appearance through construction of structures such that they are
poorly designed or conflict with the site’s existing surroundings. As such, the proposed project would not
significantly alter the surroundings of the area.
The project’s construction-related activities would result in short-term impacts to the area’s visual character
and quality. Construction activities would require the use of equipment and storage of materials within the
project site. However, construction activities are temporary and would not result in any permanent visual
impact. While the project site is currently vacant and undeveloped, the area surrounding the project site
generally comprises residential land uses and vacant land. Surrounding land uses include residential to
the east. Vacant lands are to the north, south, and west. However, land to the northwest of the project site
is currently being graded for residential development associated with the Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan.
Upon completion, the proposed project would include the subdivision of 26.95 gross acres into 68 single-
family residential lots with a minimum size of 7,200 SF. The project proposal also includes multiple lots
including three water quality basins for compliance with Regional Water Quality Control Board totaling 1.5
acres, three storm drain dedications totaling 0.15 acres, two entry monuments totaling 0.2 acres, a fire
turnaround totaling 0.24acres, and an access way totaling 0.1 acre. The project would also include
landscaping improvements.
While the project site’s existing visual quality would change by incorporating residential uses and new
improvements, this would not degrade the existing visual character, site quality, or surroundings. The site’s
visual character would be altered; however, the project would not become visually incompatible or visually
unexpected when viewed in the context of its surroundings. Moreover, the project would be subject to
compliance with City design guidelines and applicable development standards. Therefore, the proposed
project would have a less than significant impact on the site’s visual character and its surroundings and no
mitigation is required.
Impact I.d) Less Than Significant Impact. Excessive or inappropriately directed lighting can adversely
impact nighttime views by reducing the ability to see the night sky and stars. Glare can be caused from
unshielded or misdirected lighting sources. Reflective surfaces (i.e., polished metal) can also cause glare.
Impacts associated with glare range from simple nuisance to potentially dangerous situations (i.e., if glare
is directed into the eyes of motorists). Existing outdoor lighting at and near the project site is associated
with residential and street lighting typical of suburban areas. The proposed project would generate lighting
from two primary sources: lighting from building interiors that would pass through windows, and lighting
from exterior sources (e.g., street lighting, vehicles, housing illumination, security lighting, and landscape
lighting). Lighting associated with the project would not be directed towards adjacent properties across
Valley Boulevard or new dwelling units.
MMC Chapter 6.01 (Dark Sky; Light Pollution) indicates that low-pressure sodium lamps are the preferred
illuminating source and that all non-exempt outdoor light fixtures shall be shielded. A maximum of 8,100
total lumens per acre or per parcel if less than one acre would be allowed. When lighting is “allowed,” it
must be fully shielded if feasible and partially shielded in all other cases, and must be focused to minimize
spill light into the night sky and onto adjacent properties (MMC §6.01.040). The project would be
conditioned that, prior to the issuance of building permits, all new construction which introduces light

sources would be required to have shielding or other light pollution limiting characteristics such as hood or
lumen restrictions for consistency with Menifee Municipal Code 6.01.
The MGP Community Design Element includes goals that encourage attractive landscaping, lighting, and
signage that conveys the community’s (Goal CD-6) positive image and that limit light leakage and spillage
that may interfere with the Palomar Observatory operations (Goal CD-6.5). Lighting proposed by the project
would be subject to compliance with MMC §6.01 and MGP goals and policies. Accordingly, the project
would have a less than significant impact on interfering with Mt. Palomar Observatory nighttime use which
is located approximately 35 miles southeast. Further, the City would also review new lighting for
conformance with the 2019 California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen) (CCR Title 24 Part 11)
such that only the minimum amount of lighting is used, and no light spillage occurs.
Buildings with large facades constructed of reflective surfaces (e.g., brightly colored building façades, metal
surfaces, and reflective glass) could increase existing levels of daytime glare. The project’s proposed
design does not include such surfaces or components. Therefore, the project would result in a less than
significant impact concerning a new source of glare and no mitigation is required.
Mitigation Measures: No mitigation is required.

In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead
agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997)
prepared by the California Department of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts
on agriculture and farmland. In determining whether impacts to forest resources, including timberland, are
significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to information compiled by the California
Department of Forestry and Fire Protection regarding the state’s inventory of forest land, including the
Forest and Range Assessment Project and the Forest Legacy Assessment project; and forest carbon
measurement methodology provided in Forest Protocols adopted by the California Air Resources Board.
Would the Project:
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or
Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as
shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland
Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California
Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a
Williamson Act contract?
c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning
of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code
§12220(g)), timberland (as defined in Public
Resources Code section 4526), or timberland zoned
Timberland Production (as defined in Government
Code §51104(g))?
d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of
forest land to non-forest use?
e) Involve other changes in the existing environment
which, due to their location or nature, could result in
conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or
conversion of forest land to non-forest use?

Sources: State of California, Department of Conservation, Division of Land Resource Protection, Farmland
Mapping and Monitoring Program. California Department of Conservation, 2010.
Applicable General Plan Policies:
Goal OSC-6: High-value agricultural lands available for long-term agricultural production in limited
areas of the City.
Policy OSC-6.1: Protect both existing farms and sensitive uses around them as agricultural acres
transition to more developed land uses.
Analysis of Project Effect and Determination of Significance:
Impact II.a) Less Than Significant Impact. According to the General Plan, the project site contains other
land, grazing land, and farmland of local importance.4 Similarly, the California Department of Conservation
Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP) designates the project site as prime farmland of local
importance, grazing land, and urban and built-up land.5 Although the project site is designated as Farmland
of Local Importance by the FMMP, the project site is currently zoned Low-Density Residential -2 (LDR-2)
7,200 SF and designated as 2.1-5 dwelling units/acre Residential (2.1-5 R). Thus, the project site was
identified as appropriate for development by the City and the conversion of farmland on site was analyzed
by the City’s General Plan EIR, which found the conversion to be appropriate. Considering the small size
of the area mapped as farmland and the economic and regulatory constraints on agriculture in western
Riverside County, along with the currently approved Specific Plans and individual projects throughout the
City, it is unlikely that the project site would re-establish agricultural production even without
implementation of the project. Therefore, the project’s impacts concerning farmland conversion would be
less than significant.
Impacts II.b-c) No Impact. The project site is zoned Low-Density Residential -2 (LDR-2) 7,200 SF is not
under a Williamson Act Contract. The project site is not zoned for agricultural use or forestland; therefore,
the project would not conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or forestland, or a Williamson Act
contract.
Impact II.d) No Impact. The project site and surrounding properties are not currently being managed or
used for forest land; therefore, the project would not result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest
land to non-forest use.
Impact II.e) No Impact. Surrounding land uses include residential to the east. Vacant lands are to the
immediate north, south, and west. The surrounding zoning is LDR-2 to the north and south, LMDR to the
east, and Cimarron Ridge SP and LDR-1 to the west. Forest land are not present in the area surrounding
the project site. Based upon historical records, the project site and surrounding areas were not historically
used for agricultural/dry farming uses. Additionally, according to the General Plan EIR and historical aerial
images, the project site is not currently used for agricultural uses and the residential uses surrounding the
project site have existed since at least 2002. The project would not divide any agricultural parcels or impede
access to any agricultural parcels, and would therefore not cause indirect conversion of farmland to non-
agricultural use.
Mitigation Measures: No mitigation is required.

Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management district or
air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations. Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the
applicable air quality plan?
b) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase
of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is
non-attainment under an applicable federal or state
ambient air quality standard?
c) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant
concentrations?
d) Result in other emissions (such as those leading to
odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of
people?

2018); see Appendix A, Air Quality Assessment.
Federal, State, and Regional Standards:
Appendix A (State and Federal Criteria Pollutant Standards) presents the federal and state standards.
Appendix A (SCAQMD Air Quality Significance Thresholds) shows the ambient air quality standards for
NO2, CO, PM10, and PM2.5.
Applicable General Plan Policies:
Goal OSC-9: Reduced impacts to air quality at the local level by minimizing pollution and particulate
matter.
Policy OSC-9.1: Meet state and federal clean air standards by minimizing particulate matter emissions
from construction activities.
Policy OSC-9.2: Buffer sensitive land uses, such as residences, schools, care facilities, and recreation
areas from major air pollutant emission sources, including freeways, manufacturing, hazardous
materials storage, wastewater treatment, and similar uses.
Policy OSC-9.3: Comply with regional, state, and federal standards and programs for control of all
airborne pollutants and noxious odors, regardless of source.
Policy OSC-9.5: Comply with the mandatory requirements of Title 24 Part 11 of the California Building
Standards Code (CALGreen) and Title 24 Part 6 Building and Energy Efficiency Standards.
Analysis of Project Effect and Determination of Significance:
Impact III.a) Less than Significant Impact. A significant impact would occur if the proposed project would
conflict with or obstruct South Coast Air Basin 2016 Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) implementation.
Conflicts and obstructions that hinder AQMP implementation can delay efforts to meet attainment deadlines
for criteria pollutants and maintain existing compliance with applicable air quality standards. Pursuant to
the methodology in 1993 South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) CEQA Air Quality
Handbook Chapter 12, AQMP consistency is affirmed when a project (1) does not increase the frequency

or severity of an air quality standards violation or cause a new violation and (2) is consistent with the
AQMP’s growth assumptions. Consistency review is presented below.
1. The first criterion refers to violations of California Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS) and
National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The project would result in short-term
construction and long-term operational pollutant emissions that would be less than the SCAQMD’s
CEQA significance emissions thresholds, as demonstrated by the project Air Quality Assessment
presented in Response III.b-e) below and Appendix A. The project’s short-term construction and
long-term operational impacts would be less than significant with incorporation of MM AQ-1.
Therefore, the project would not increase the frequency or severity of any air quality standards
violation or cause a new air quality standard violation and is found to be consistent with the AQMP
for the first criterion.
2. The CEQA Air Quality Handbook indicates that consistency with AQMP growth assumptions must
be analyzed for new or amended General Plan Elements, Specific Plans, and significant projects.
Consistency with AQMP growth assumptions is determined by analyzing the proposed project with
AQMP growth assumptions. The emphasis of this criterion is to ensure that the project’s analyses
are based on the same forecasts as the AQMP. The MGP Land Use Map depicts the land use
assumptions represented in the AQMP. The site’s existing land use designation is 2.1-5 dwelling
units per acre – residential (2.1-5R). As concluded in III.b-e) below, the project would be consistent
with the site’s existing land use designations, and thus, the assumptions represented in the AQMP.
Significant projects include airports, electrical generating facilities, petroleum and gas refineries,
designation of oil drilling districts, water ports, solid waste disposal sites, and offshore drilling
facilities. The proposed project is not considered a significant project. Therefore, the project would
not exceed the AQMP assumptions for the project site and is found to be consistent with the AQMP
for the second criterion.
Impacts III.b-d) Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation. A project may have a significant impact
if project-related emissions exceed federal, state, or regional standards or thresholds, or if project-related
emissions substantially contribute to existing or projected air quality violations. The proposed project is
located within the South Coast Air Basin (Basin), where efforts to attain state and federal air quality
standards are governed by the SCAQMD. Both the State of California (state) and the federal government
have established health-based ambient air quality standards (AAQS) for seven air pollutants (known as
‘criteria pollutants’): ozone (O3), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2),
inhalable particulate matter with a diameter of 10 microns or less (PM10), fine particulate matter with a
diameter of 2.5 microns or less (PM2.5), and lead (Pb). The state has also established AAQS for additional
pollutants. The AAQS are designed to protect the health and welfare of the populace within a reasonable
margin of safety. Where the state and federal standards differ, California AAQS are more stringent than
national AAQS.
Air pollution levels are measured at monitoring stations located throughout the air basin. Areas that are in
nonattainment concerning federal or state AAQS are required to prepare plans and implement measures
to bring the region into attainment. Appendix A Table 2.2 (Attainment Status of Criteria Pollutants in the
South Coast Air Basin) summarizes the project area’s attainment status for the criteria pollutants. The
project’s short-term construction and long-term operational emissions and their context for subsequently
impacting the environment are discussed below.
SHORT-TERM CONSTRUCTION
Construction‐Related Regional Impacts
The construction‐related regional air quality impacts have been analyzed for criteria pollutants. The
methodology used to calculate regional construction air emissions is detailed in Appendix A and
summarized below. The analysis of the project’s short‐term construction emissions for criteria pollutants is
also presented below.

Typical emission rates from construction activities were obtained from CalEEMod Version 2016.3.1. Using
CalEEMod, the peak daily air pollutant emissions during each project phase were calculated and presented
below. The CalEEMod construction emissions model outputs are provided in Appendix A.
The project would be required to comply with existing SCAQMD rules for reduction of fugitive dust
emissions (Rule 403), architectural coating (Rule 1113), low sulfur fuel (Rule 431.2) and street sweepers
(Rule 1186/1186.1). These SCAQMD rules are included as Best Available Control measures (BACM) AQ-1
and AQ-2. Compliance with BACM AQ-1 (Rule 403) is achieved through application of standard best
management practices in construction and operation activities, such as application of water or chemical
stabilizers to disturbed soils, managing haul road dust by application of water, covering haul vehicles,
restricting vehicle speeds on unpaved roads to 15 mph, sweeping loose dirt from paved site access
roadways, cessation of construction activity when winds exceed 25 mph and establishing a permanent,
stabilizing ground cover on finished sites. BACM AQ-2 (Rule 1113) requires architectural coating used to
be no more than a low VOC default level of 50 g/L. Additionally, Mitigation Measure AQ-1 requires CARB
certified tier 3 or higher during site preparation and grading activity for all construction equipment greater
than 150 horsepower.
Table 1 Emissions Summary of Overall Construction (Without Mitigation) presents the construction‐related
criteria pollutant emissions anticipated during the construction period and indicates that NOx would exceed
the SCAQMD daily emissions thresholds. Table 2 Emissions Summary of Overall Construction (With
Mitigation) shows all criteria pollutants over the SCAQMD thresholds with incorporation of MM AQ-1.
Therefore, project construction-related activities would result in a less than significant regional air quality
impact during construction.

Construction‐Related Local Impacts
Construction‐related air emissions could exceed state and federal air quality standards in the localized
project vicinity, even though these pollutant emissions may not be significant enough to create a regional
impact to the Basin. The proposed project has been analyzed for the potential local air quality impacts
created from: construction‐related fugitive dust and diesel emissions; toxic air contaminants; and
construction‐related odor impacts.
Local Air Quality Impacts from Construction
The appropriate Source Receptor Area (SRA) for the localized significance threshold (LST) analysis for
the project is the Perris Valley monitoring station (SRA 24). LSTs apply to carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen

dioxide (NO2), particulate matter ≤ 10 microns (PM10), and particulate matter ≤ 2.5 microns (PM2.5). The
SCAQMD produced look-up tables for projects less than or equal to 5 acres in size. In order to determine
the appropriate methodology for determining localized impacts that could occur as a result of project
construction, the following process is undertaken:
1. The CalEEMod model is utilized to determine the maximum daily on-site emissions that will occur
during construction activity.
2. The SCAQMD’s Fact Sheet for Applying CalEEMod to Localized Significance Thresholds is used
to determine the maximum site acreage that is actively disturbed based on the construction
equipment fleet and equipment hours as estimated in CalEEMod.
3. If the total acreage disturbed is less than or equal to five acres per day, then the SCAQMD’s
screening look-up tables are utilized to determine if a project has the potential to result in a
significant impact (the SCAQMD recommends that projects exceeding the screening look-up tables
undergo dispersion modeling to determine actual impacts. The look-up tables establish a maximum
daily emissions threshold in pounds per day that can be compared to CalEEMod outputs.
The CalEEMod output sheets included in Appendix A indicate the equipment used for this analysis.
The local air quality emissions from construction were analyzed using the SCAQMD’s Mass Rate Localized
Significant Threshold Look‐up Tables and the methodology described in Localized Significance Threshold
Methodology, prepared by SCAQMD, revised July 2008. Per the Air Quality Report, the project would
actively disturb approximately 3.5 acres per day during the site preparation phase and 4.0 acres per day
during the grading phase. As the look-up tables identify only 1-acre, 2-acre, and 5-acre, an appropriate
3.5-acre and 4.0-acre value was interpolated for the project site. The nearest sensitive receptor to the
project site is the residential community located adjacent to the east boundary of the site. Therefore, the
LSTs for receptors located at 25 meters (82 feet) was used for the analysis.
As shown in Table 3: Localized Significance Summary Construction (without Mitigation), during the site
preparation phase PM10 and PM2.5 would exceed the SCAQMD local emissions thresholds at the nearest
sensitive receptors. For the grading phase, all criteria pollutants analyzed would remain below the
SCAQMD thresholds. With MM AQ-1, none of the criteria pollutants would exceed SCAQMD thresholds at
the nearest sensitive receptors as shown in Table 4: Localized Significance Summary Construction (with
Mitigation). Therefore, impacts are less than significant with mitigation.

Construction‐Related Toxic Air Contaminant Impacts
The greatest potential for toxic air contaminant emissions would be related to diesel particulate emissions
associated with heavy equipment operations during project construction. According to SCAQMD
methodology, health effects from carcinogenic air toxics are usually described in terms of “Individual
Cancer Risk.” Individual Cancer Risk is the likelihood that a person exposed to concentrations of toxic air
contaminants over a 30-year lifetime will contract cancer, based on the use of standard risk‐assessment
methodology. Given the relatively limited number of heavy‐duty construction equipment and relatively short
construction schedule, the proposed project would not result in a long‐term (i.e., 30 years) substantial
source of toxic air contaminant emissions and corresponding individual cancer risk (Appendix A). Further,
construction‐based particulate matter (PM) emissions (including diesel exhaust emissions) would not
exceed any local or regional thresholds. Therefore, project construction activities would not result in
significant short‐term toxic air contaminant impacts.
Construction‐Related Odor Impacts
Potential sources that may emit odors during construction activities include the application of materials
such as asphalt pavement. The objectionable odors that may be produced during the construction process
are short‐term and the odor emissions would cease upon the drying or hardening of the odor-producing
materials. Due to the relatively short‐term nature of project construction activities and limited amounts of
odor-producing materials being utilized, the project would result in a less than significant impact concerning
construction-related odors. Additionally, project construction activities would emit diesel exhaust and
VOCs, which are objectionable to some; however, emissions would disperse rapidly from the project site
and therefore would not reach an objectionable level at the nearest sensitive receptors. Construction odors
would be temporary, short-term, intermittent, and would not affect a substantial number of people. A less
than significant impact would occur in this regard.
LONG-TERM OPERATIONS
Long-term project operations would result in a long‐term increase in air quality emissions. Increased
emissions would be due to project‐generated vehicle trips and on‐going use of the proposed project. The
following is an analysis of potential long‐term operational air quality impacts.
Operational Regional Impacts
The project’s potential operational air emissions have been analyzed below for the criteria pollutants and
cumulative impacts.
Operations‐Related Criteria Pollutant Analysis
The project’s operational criteria air quality impacts have been analyzed using the CalEEMod model. The
operational emissions were based on the project becoming operational in year 20196. The operational daily
emissions CalEEMod model outputs are provided in Appendix A. The CalEEMod analysis presented below
addresses operational emissions from mobile sources, area sources, and energy usage.
Mobile Sources. Mobile sources include emissions from the additional vehicle miles generated from the
proposed project. The project trips were used in CalEEMod.
6 The CalEEmod run in the Air Quality Report conservatively assumes an opening year of 2019 which utilizes higher emissions factors.

Area Sources. Area sources include emissions from consumer products, landscape equipment,
hearths/fireplaces, and architectural coatings. Landscape maintenance includes fuel combustion
emissions from equipment such as lawn mowers, rototillers, shredders/grinders, blowers, trimmers,
chainsaws, and hedge trimmers, as well as air compressors, generators, and pumps. As landscaping
equipment fleet specifics were unknown, CalEEMod defaults were used to estimate emissions from
landscaping equipment. The project would comply with SCAQMD Rule 445 which prohibits the use of
wood-burning stoves and fireplaces.
Energy Usage. Energy usage includes emissions from the generation of electricity and natural gas used
on‐site. No changes were made to the CalEEMod default energy use parameters.
Project Impacts. Table 5 Maximum Daily Operational Emissions Summary presents the project’s long-term
operational worst‐case summer/winter criteria pollutant emissions for all phases and indicates that none of
the phases would exceed SCAQMD regional thresholds. Therefore, long-term project operations would
result in a less than significant regional air quality impact.

Cumulative Regional Air Quality Impacts
Cumulative projects include local development as well as general growth within the project area. However,
as with most development, the greatest source of emissions is from mobile sources, which travel well out
of the local area. Therefore, concerning air quality, the cumulative analysis would extend beyond any local
projects, and when wind patterns are considered, would cover an even larger area. Accordingly, the
cumulative analysis for the project’s air quality must be generic in nature.
The project area is non- attainment for both ozone and particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5). Cumulative
projects construction and operational activities would further degrade the local air quality, as well as the
Basin’s air quality. The greatest cumulative impact on regional air cell quality would be the incremental
addition of pollutants mainly from increased traffic associated with residential, commercial, and industrial
development, and use of heavy equipment/trucks associated with construction of these projects. Air quality
would be temporarily degraded during construction activities that occur separately or simultaneously.
However, in accordance with the SCAQMD methodology, projects that do not exceed the SCAQMD criteria
or can be mitigated to less than criteria levels are not significant and do not add to the overall cumulative
impact. Concerning long‐term emissions, the project would result in a less than significant cumulative
impact.

Project‐related air emissions could exceed state and federal air quality standards in the project vicinity,
even though these pollutant emissions may not be significant enough to create a regional impact to the
Basin. The proposed project has been analyzed for the potential local CO emission impacts from the
project‐related vehicular trips and from the potential local air quality impacts from onsite operations. An
analysis of the vehicular CO emissions, local impacts from on‐site operations, and odor impacts is
presented below.
Local CO Emission Impacts from Project‐Generated Vehicular Trips
CO is the pollutant of major concern along roadways because the most notable source of CO is motor
vehicles. For this reason, CO concentrations are usually indicative of the local air quality generated by a
roadway network and are used as an indicator of potential local air quality impacts. Local air quality impacts
can be assessed by comparing future without and with project CO levels to the state and federal CO
standards. To determine if the proposed project could cause emission levels in excess of the CO standards,
a sensitivity analysis is conducted to determine the potential for CO “hot spots” at a number of intersections
in the general project vicinity. Because of reduced speeds and vehicle queuing, hot spots can potentially
occur at high traffic volume intersections with a Level of Service E or worse. The project would not create
sufficient traffic to warrant a traffic impact analysis; therefore, no CO hot spot modeling was not necessary.
Therefore, long-term project operations would result in a less than significant impact to local air quality.
Operations‐Related Odor Impacts
The SCAQMD recommends that odor impacts be addressed in a qualitative manner. Such an analysis
shall determine whether a project would result in excessive nuisance odors, as defined under the California
Code of Regulations and Section 41700 of the California Health and Safety Code, and thus would
constitute a public nuisance related to air quality. Land uses typically associated with odors include
wastewater treatment facilities, waste‐disposal facilities, or agricultural operations. The project does not
involve land uses typically associated with emitting objectionable odors, therefore, no impact would occur
in this regard. Consistent with City requirements, all project-generated refuse would be stored in covered
containers and removed at regular intervals in compliance with solid waste regulations. Potential
operational-related odor impacts are therefore considered less than significant.
Mitigation Measures:
AQ-1 During site preparation and grading activity, all construction equipment greater than 150
horsepower shall be CARB certified tier 3 or higher.

Vegetation
Sensitive Vegetation Communities
Sensitive vegetation communities are those that are: considered sensitive pursuant to the State of
California NCCP program; are under the jurisdiction of the ACOE pursuant to Section 404 of the CWA; are
under the jurisdiction of the CDFW pursuant to Sections 1600 through 1612 of the California Fish and
Game Code; are known or believed to be of high priority for inventory in the California Natural Diversity
Data Base (CNDDB 2019); are considered regionally rare in southern California; have undergone a large-
scale reduction from their Pre-European coverage in southern California due to increased urban and
agricultural encroachment; and/or support sensitive plant and animal species. Sensitive vegetation
communities listed for the surrounding project area are:
· Southern Coast Live Oak Riparian Forest,
· Southern Cottonwood Willow Riparian Forest,
· Southern Interior Basalt Flow Vernal Pool,
· Southern Riparian Scrub,
· Southern Sycamore Alder Riparian Woodland, and
· Valley Needlegrass Grassland.
Vegetation Communities on the Project Site
The project encompasses seven vegetation community types. Vegetation communities currently present
are characterized as Eriogonum fasciculatum Alliance – Disturbed, Grasslands – Disturbed (Bromus
diandrus-mixed herb Alliance), Baccharis salicifolia Alliance (Mule Fat Scrub), Populus
fremontii(Cottonwood Scrub) Alliance and developed. Several special-status plant and animal species
have the potential to occur on site; Table 5.1, Special-Status Plan Species Listed for Romoland and
Surrounding Nine Quadrangles, of the Habitat Assessment in Appendix B, shows that although there is
habitat present to host some of the plant species, Table 5.1 shows that no Special-Status plant species
were observed onsite.7 Additionally, no oak trees are located onsite.
No Narrow Endemic Plant Species Survey Area (NEPSSA) species or habitat is located on the project site.
There are no NEPSSA impacts associated with the proposed project. Although there are sensitive plant
species in the project area, none were observed on the project site.
Wildlife
The project site supports a moderate-high diversity of wildlife species due to the moderate level of
disturbance and development in the vicinity. Many of the wildlife species observed or detected in the project
study area are commonly found in the urban interface or on disturbed habitat Wildlife is generally specific
to disturbed sage scrub habitat. While a few wildlife species are entirely dependent on a single vegetative
community, the entire mosaic of the site and adjoining areas constitutes a functional ecosystem for a variety
of wildlife species. The habitat on the site provides foraging habitat for year-round residents, seasonal
residents, and migrating song birds. In addition, the site encompasses raptor foraging and perching habitat.
A list of observed wildlife is attached as Appendix B.
Wildlife usage of the project site tends to be focused around the margins of the project site, away from the
eastern development. Characteristic avian species detected include Red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis),
killdeer (Charadrius vociferus), mourning dove (Zenaida macroura), Anna’s hummingbird (Calypte anna),
Say’s phoebe (Sayornis saya), Cassin’s kingbird (Tyrannus vociferans), western kingbird (Tyrannus
verticalis), American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos), common raven (Corvus corax), bushtit (Psaltriparus
minimus), Bewick’s wren (Thryomanes bewickii), European starling (Sturnus vulgaris), song sparrow
(Melospiza melodia), California towhee (Melozone crissalis), Savannah sparrow (Passerculus

Sensitive Wildlife
No sensitive wildlife was detected within the project site during the wildlife field studies. However, although
it was not seen, the Stephen’s Kangaroo rat (Diphodomys stephensi) is assumed to be present. Wildlife
species that are covered and adequately conserved by the MSHCP does not include Stephens Kangaroo
rat. Stephens Kangaroo rat (SKR) is covered under a separate Habitat Conservation Plan. As a Covered
species, participation in the HCP would provide “take” for SKR species and no additional mitigation except
a fee, would be required. Although SKR is adequately conserved, the intent of the proposed project is to
avoid and/or minimize impacts to all biological resources that occur within its boundaries.
Burrowing Owl Survey:
Burrowing owl habitat assessment surveys and focused surveys were conducted in 2017 and 2019,
according to the Burrowing Owl Survey Instructions for the Western Riverside Multiple Species Habitat
Conservation Plan Area. The focused Burrowing Owl Surveys (BUOW) revealed that no owl burrows or
burrowing owls on the proposed project site or within a 500-foot buffer area.
Hydrological Resources
Two intermittent watercourses that contain minimal riparian vegetation (1 mulefat and 1 willow) are present
on the project site. Surface water was observed on-site during March, which triggered fairy shrimp surveys.
Fairy Shrimp
Wet season fairy shrimp surveys found immature fairy shrimp in a relatively small, shallow tire rut. Wet
and dry season protocol surveys were conducted for fairy shrimp. The only fairy shrimp identified were
non-sensitive fairy shrimp (Branchinecta sp). Based on this, no impacts to fairy shrimp would occur.
Analysis of Project Effect and Determination of Significance:
Impact IV.a) Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated.
SENSITIVE SPECIES
A total of 64 plant species are listed as state and/or federal Threatened, Endangered, or Candidate species.
Several special-status plant and animal species have the potential to occur on-site. Table 5.1 of the Habitat
Assessment found as Appendix B of this Initial Study, documents the special-status plant species that may
occur in the Romoland quadrangle and surrounding nine quadrangles (Rarefind 5- 2019). Due to the lack
of suitable habitat and/or soils at the site, these 64 species were found to either have low or no potential
to occur onsite. No sensitive plant species were observed on the project site. Areas with vegetation consist
primarily of non-native species or species tolerant of disturbed areas.
Multi Species Habitat Conservation Plan
The Multi Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) covers 146 species, 38 of which require additional
surveys if the proposed project occurs in the specific survey area for a species. As noted in Table 4 of the
Habitat Assessment (see Appendix B), the proposed project occurs within the burrowing owl survey areas.
This finding is consistent with the City’s General Plan, Exhibit OSC-7, MSHCP Survey Area, which
identified the project site as being within the Burrowing Owl Survey Area. The project site does not traverse
Riparian/Riverine and Vernal Pool habitats as defined by the MSHCP.
Burrowing Owl Survey:
Burrowing owl habitat assessment surveys and focused surveys were conducted in 2017 and 2019,
according to the Burrowing Owl Survey Instructions for the Western Riverside Multiple Species Habitat
Conservation Plan Area. The focused Burrowing Owl Surveys (BUOW) revealed that no owl burrows or
burrowing owls on the proposed project site or within a 500-foot buffer area. However, one burrowing owl
was observed outside the 500 foot buffer area near McCall Avenue. The MSHCP requires preconstruction
surveys pursuant to the MSHCP Objective 6. For burrowing owl, a preconstruction burrowing owl survey

shall be conducted prior to issuance of a grading permit to verify the presence/absence of the owl on the
project site. Refer to Mitigation Measure BIO-1.
Species Not Covered by the Western Riverside MSHCP. No non-MSHCP covered special status wildlife
species were observed on the project site. Impacts to non-MSHCP covered special status wildlife species
would not be considered significant with the implementation of minimization and avoidance measures
proposed in conjunction with other nesting and/or migratory bird species. Therefore, compliance with
BIO-2, which requires a preconstruction survey to identify presence of nesting birds and raptors, would
reduce potential impacts to non-covered species to less than significant.
Nesting Birds. Under MBTA provisions, it is unlawful “by any means or manner to pursue, hunt, take,
capture (or) kill” any migratory birds except as permitted by regulations issued by the USFWS. The term
“take” is defined by USFWS regulation to mean to “pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture or collect”
any migratory bird or any part, nest or egg of any migratory bird covered by the conventions, or to attempt
those activities. In addition, the CFGC extends protection to non‐migratory birds identified as resident game
birds (CFGC §3500) and any birds in the orders Falconiformes or Strigiformes (birds‐of‐prey) (CFGC
§3503). The project site would not support tree- and shrub-nesting species, but ground-nesting species
could nest onsite during the nesting bird season of February 1 through September 15. Therefore, if ground
disturbance would occur between February 15 and September 15, the project could impact ground-nesting
birds. To address potential impacts to nesting migratory birds, the project would be subject to compliance
with mitigation measure BIO-2, which addresses construction activities within the nesting season.
Following compliance with BIO-2, the project’s potential impacts to nesting migratory birds would be less
than significant.
CRITICAL HABITAT
The project is not located within federally designated critical habitat. Therefore, no impact to critical habitat
would occur.
Impacts IV.b-c) Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated.
RIPARIAN HABITATS AND JURISDICTIONAL WATERS
Riparian/Riverine/Vernal Pools
An assessment of the potentially significant effects of the proposed project on riparian, riverine and vernal
pool areas was conducted. Seasonal watercourses are present and evidence of recent surface water was
observed on site. Potential MSHCP 6.1.2 areas were found on the project site. There are no
Riparian/Riverine associated species on the project site (i.e., least Bell’s vireo, southwestern willow
flycatcher, blue grosbeak, etc.) as the drainage areas are seasonal watercourses with lack of appropriate
habitat. Although ponded water was found in two check-dams (plastic lined depressions created by the
City of Menifee to control water flow downstream) and in tire ruts. These features are not vernal pools, but
anthropogenic created features. Due to the lack of appropriate vegetation, it was concluded that the site is
not suitable for riparian bird species including least Bell’s vireo (Vireo bellii pusillus), southwestern willow
flycatcher (Empidonax trailii extimus), and yellow-billed cuckoo (Coccyzus americanus).
The ponding features found on the project site are not wetlands, as the soils are not hydric soils. Soils in
the check-dams are typical of flood prone areas (sandy) and water retention was created by adding black
plastic to create the check-dams. The tire ruts were created by unauthorized off-road vehicles compaction
of the soil during rainy conditions. No vernal pool plants or appropriate soils were observed on the project
site.
Streambed/wetland delineation studies found 0.726 acres of state streambed /MSHCP Section 6.1.2
riverine and 0.726 acre waters of the U.S. (WOUS) for federal jurisdictional area on the proposed project
site. In addition, 0.004 acre of streambed off of the project site were found between the project site and

Chambers Street. Permanent impacts to 0.726 acres of riverine under MSHCP 6.1.2 on-site and 0.004
acre of riverine under MSHCP 6.1.2 off site will be impacted by construction of the proposed project.
Jurisdictional Waters and Wetlands
USACE regulates deposition of fill material into waters of the U.S. (WOUS) under Section 404 of the CWA.
RWQCB regulates impacts to WUS under Section 401 of the CWA and to waters of the State (WOS) under
the Porter Cologne Water Quality Control Act. Unnamed Drainage 1 is a created drainage (2005 aerial
shows the creation) as a result of graded development lots to the northeast. Drainage 1, with its checkdams
lined with black plastic, (2007 aerial) appears to have been created in order to channelize flow coming off
of the graded area to the northeast on to Chambers Avenue. Unnamed Drainage 2, which is a forked (2
tributaries converge into 1 drainage), is located in the southern portion of the project site and flows west to
east until joining into a single drainage that flows north to a culvert which is directed under Valley Boulevard.
Delineation studies found waters of the U.S. WOUS, RWQCB and CDFW jurisdictional areas on the project
site. 0.726-acres of WOUS/CDFW/RWQCB jurisdictional waters were found on the project site.
During construction of the current site existing vegetation will be trimmed and/or removed. Impacts to these
features would result in impacts to conservation of habitats and may result in impacts to covered species.
As previously discussed, WOUS potential jurisdictional areas, CDFW jurisdictional areas, and RWQCB
jurisdictional areas are present on the site. Unnamed Drainages 1 and 2 have non-wetland waters
(Riverine), as defined by the MSHCP. The Unnamed Drainages in this location have low functions and
values for flood storage and flood flow modification, sediment trapping and transport, nutrient retention and
transformation, toxicant trapping, public use, and wildlife and aquatic habitat due to its small size, severe
anthropogenic impacts by homeless, off-road vehicles, equipment access via Valley Boulevard and
Chambers Avenue, and lack of perennial or intermittent sources of water. Implementation of the proposed
project would not result in significant impacts to natural and beneficial floodplain values.
The area is under the jurisdiction of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers and California Regional Water Quality Control Board. Permits/Agreements for activities within
the streambed will be required by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, U. S. Army Corps of
Engineers and California Regional Water Quality Control Board. Final authority over the area rests with
the appropriate agencies. Mitigation Measure BIO-3 would require payment of a one time fee payment
to an in lieu program offsite to be approved by appropriate agencies. Implementation of Mitigation Measure
BIO-3 would reduce potential impacts to a level of less than significant.
Impact IV.d) Less Than Significant Impact. The project area was evaluated for its function as a wildlife
corridor that species would use to move between wildlife habitat zones. Features (e.g., mountain canyons
or riparian corridors) typically used by wildlife as corridors are not present in the project area. The project
site is located within the Sun Valley/Menifee Valley Area Plan of the Western Riverside County MSHCP.
However, the project site is not located within a Criteria Cell or sub-unit of the Sun Valley/Menifee Valley
Area Plan. Increases in noise, construction traffic, and human activities during construction activities may
temporarily deter movement of wildlife within the project vicinity. However, significant impacts to wildlife
corridors or nursery sites are not expected from construction or operational activities of the proposed
project.
In addition, the project area does not contain mountain canyons or riparian corridors that have the potential
to be used by wildlife as corridors. Further, the project area is surrounded by human activity in the form of
residences, agricultural uses, and roadways. No wildlife movement corridors were found to be present on
the project site and a less than significant impact would occur in this regard.
Impact IV.e) No Impact. Vegetation onsite is limited to grassland species and ruderal species. There are
no trees on-site that are considered Heritage Trees as defined in the City’s Tree Preservation Ordinance
(MMC §9.86.110). Therefore, the project would not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting
biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance. No impact would occur in this regard.

Impact IV.f) Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. No wildlife species that are
Covered Species and Adequately Conserved by the MSHCP, were detected within the project site during
the habitat assessment and focused surveys.
With urban interface mitigation, the project would have a less than significant impact on open space.
Overall, the project would not conflict with the relevant provisions of the Western Riverside County MSHCP
and a less than significant impact would occur in this regard with implementation of Mitigation Measures
BIO-1, BIO-2, BIO-3, BIO-4, and BIO-5.
Mitigation Measures:
BIO-1: Burrowing Owl. Pursuant to Objective 6 and Objective 7 of the Species Account for the Burrowing
Owl included in the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan, within
30 days prior to the issuance of a grading permit, a pre-construction presence/absence survey for
the burrowing owl shall be conducted by a qualified biologist and the results of this
presence/absence survey shall be provided in writing to the City of Menifee Community
Development Department. As long as there are fewer than 3 pairs of burrowing owls on or adjacent
to the Site, passive or active relocation of the burrowing owls will occur prior to ground-disturbing
activities onsite and follow standard protocols. If 3 or more pairs of burrowing owls are detected on
or adjacent to the Site, the City and County will be contacted immediately to discuss appropriate
actions. If construction must occur during the avian breeding season, pre-construction surveys
shall be performed by a qualified biologist within 10 calendar days prior to the start of work to
determine the presence or absence of nesting birds within 300 feet (500 feet for special-status
species and raptors) of the impact area. If nesting birds are detected, the City, County, and Wildlife
Agencies shall be contacted to discuss the potential impact minimization measures to be
implemented.
If construction and/or disturbance of the site is suspended for a period of days (30) days or more,
a new survey shall be required.
If the 30-day pre-construction burrowing owl survey finds burrowing owls on the site, the project
biologist shall notify CDFW and USFWS within two business days of discovering the occupied
burrows, and shall subsequently prepare a Burrowing Owl Protection and Relocation Plan for
review and approval by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS), and the Regional Conservation Authority (RCA) prior to initiating any
ground-disturbing activities (including disking and mowing, among others).
BIO-2: Raptors and Nesting Birds. To avoid impacting raptors, one of the following must be implemented:
Conduct grading activities from July 1 through January 31st, when raptors are not likely to be nesting
on the site; OR
Seven days prior to the onset of construction activities during the raptor nesting season (February
1 to June 30), a qualified biologist shall survey within 500 feet of the project impact area for the
presence of any active raptor nests (common or special status). Any nest found during survey
efforts shall be mapped on the construction plans. If no active nests are found, no further mitigation
would be required. Results of the surveys shall be provided to the CDFW. If nesting activity is
present at any raptor nest site, the active site shall be protected until nesting activity has ended to
ensure compliance with Section 3503.5 of the California Fish and Game Code. To protect any nest
site, the following restrictions to construction activities are required until nests are no longer active
as determined by a qualified biologist: (1) clearing limits shall be established within a 500-foot buffer
around any occupied nest, unless otherwise determined by a qualified biologist, and (2) access and
surveying shall be restricted within 300 feet of any occupied nest, unless otherwise determined by
a qualified biologist. Any encroachment into the buffer area around the known nest shall only be
allowed if the biologist determines that the proposed activity will not disturb the nest occupants.

Construction can proceed when the qualified biologist has determined that fledglings have left the
nest. If an active nest is observed during the non-nesting season, the nest site shall be monitored
by a qualified biologist, and when the raptor is away from the nest, the biologist will flush any raptor
to open space areas. A qualified biologist, or construction personnel under the direction of the
qualified biologist, shall then remove the nest site so raptors cannot return to a nest.
If construction is to occur during the MBTA nesting cycle (February 15-September 15) than a
nesting bird survey should be conducted by a qualified biologist. Disturbance that causes nest
abandonment and/or loss of reproductive effort (e.g., killing or abandonment of eggs or young) may
be considered take and is potentially punishable by fines or imprisonment. Active bird nests should
be mapped utilizing a hand-held global positioning system (GPS) and a 300’ buffer will be flagged
around the nest (500’ buffer for raptor nests). Construction should not be permitted within the buffer
areas while the nest continues to be active (eggs, chicks, etc.).
BIO-3: In Lieu Payment. Applicant shall pay a one-time fee for 2.19 acres for riparian and riverine habitats
in-lieu fee program off-site reestablishment through Riverpark Mitigation Bank, or any other
approved in-lieu fee program at time of rough grading permit issuance will be acquired for mitigation
of the impacts at a minimum ratio of 2:1 or greater if required by another agency. If reestablishment
credits are not available then 3.0 acres for riparian and riverine habitats in-lieu fee program off-site
enhancement credits through Riverpark Mitigation Bank, or any other approved in-lieu fee program
at time of rough grading permit issuance will be acquired for mitigation of the impacts if required by
another agency. Notification to California Department of Fish and Wildlife, California Regional Water
Quality Control Board, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is required regarding which type of in-
lieu fee credits (reestablishment or enhancement) are being utilized. Mitigation for the impacts will
be at a minimum 3:1 ratio for riverine or whatever is required1 by California Department of Fish and
Wildlife, California Regional Water Quality Control Board, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Should sufficient in-lieu fee credits not be available for purchase at the time the project is
implemented, or should other agencies not approve in-lieu fee credit purchase, then the Developer
must prepare and submit for review and approval a Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (HMMP)
for a site-specific restoration project at a minimum 3:1 mitigation to impact ratio. The plan must meet
County of Riverside requirements, as well as requirements of other resource and wildlife agencies.
Appropriate guarantees for the restoration project must be in place (e.g., letter of credit, bond, etc.)
prior to issuance of a grading permit.
The Restoration Plan and Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Program (HMMP) will be reviewed and
approved by the Regional Conservation Authority (RCA) and Wildlife Agencies prior to project
implementation (any vegetation removal, staging equipment on site, ground disturbance, etc.).
BIO-4: Landscaping. Project-related landscaping shall not include exotic plan species that may be
invasive to native habitats. Invasive exotic plant species not to be used include those listed on the
California Invasive Plant Council’s Invasive Plant Inventory and Table 6-2: Plants that should be
avoided adjacent to the MSHCP Conservation Area,” found in Section 6.1.4 of the MSHCP.
BIO-5: Best Management Practices: Best Management Practices and the SWPPP shall specifically include
mandatory measures to prevent any movement of water, soils, or any material from the site into
offsite areas.

Archaeological Associates, Phase I Cultural Resource Assessment for The Menifee Tentative Tract Map
36911 Project, dated September 12, 2017 provided in Appendix C.
Applicable General Plan Policies:
Goal OSC-5: Archaeological, historical, and cultural resources that are protected and integrated into
the City's built environment.
Policy OSC-5.1: Preserve and protect significant archeological, historic, and cultural sites, places,
districts, structures, landforms, objects and native burial sites, and other features, such as Ringing Rock
and Grandmother Oak, consistent with state law.
Policy OSC-5.3: Preserve sacred sites identified by the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians and Soboba
Band of Luiseno Indians, such as tribal burial grounds, by avoiding activities that would negatively
impact the sites.
Policy OSC-5.5: Establish clear and responsible practices to identify, evaluate, and protect previously
unknown archeological, historic, and cultural sites, following CEQA and NEPA procedure.
Analysis of Project Effect and Determination of Significance:
Impact V.a) No Impact. The project site is vacant and no buildings are present. Archaeological Associates
conducted a cultural resources records search on July 5, 2017 at the Eastern Information Center (EIC) at
the University of California, Riverside. Additionally, the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP),
California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR), California Historical Landmarks (CHL), California
Points of Historical Interest (CPHI), and the California Directory of Properties (DOP) were reviewed for the
purpose of identifying historic properties. The results of the search indicated that no prehistoric or historic
archaeological sites have been previously recorded within the boundaries of the project site.
The project site had not been previously surveyed for cultural resources. However, outside of the project
site, approximately 75 percent of the surrounding land situated within 1.0-mile radius has been previously
surveyed for cultural resources. The previous surveys conducted returned negative results for cultural
resources in the area. Similarly, the project specific cultural research conducted found that no NRHP,
CRHR, CHL, or CPHI listed properties have been recorded within the project area. Furthermore, no such
resources have been recorded within a 0.25, 0.5, or 1.0-mile radius. There are no historic buildings situated
within 0.25, 0.5, or 1.0-mile radius of the project site. Therefore, project implementation would not cause
an adverse change in the significance of a historical resource and no impact would occur in this regard.
Impact V.b) Less Than Significant Impact. The Cultural Resources Assessment did not encounter any
prehistoric or archaeological resources within or adjacent to the project site. Outside the study area, three
prehistoric archaeological sites have been recorded within a 1.0-mile radius. All three sites are located
between 0.5 and 0.75 miles to the northwest. RIV-4486/33-004486 is the closest of the three sites to the
project site. It is described a milling slick accompanied by a small scatter of lithic tools. It lies approximately
0.5-miles to the northwest. There are no locations of archaeological interest recorded within a 0.25-miles
of the project site. Each of the locations is listed and briefly characterized in Table 6, Archaeological Site
Located Within the Study Area Search Radius.

Source: Archaeological Associates. 2017. Phase I Cultural Resources Assessment.
Given the negative results of the assessment, no additional work in conjunction with cultural resources is
recommended for the project. Monitoring of future earth-disturbing activities connected with development
of the property is not warranted or recommended as the chance of encountering buried archaeological
deposits is considered extremely low. Additionally, a record search of the Native American Heritage
Commission (NAHC) Sacred Lands File was completed for the area of potential effect (APE) “the project
site” and the search returned negative results. Therefore, the project’s potential impacts concerning the
significance of an archaeological resource would be less than significant.
Impact V.c) Less Than Significant Impact. No formal cemeteries are on or near the project site. Most
Native American human remains are found in association with prehistoric archaeological sites. Given the
very low potential for the project’s ground-disturbing activities to encounter archaeological remains, human
remains to be potentially encountered are considered low. Notwithstanding, if previously unknown human
remains are discovered during the project’s ground-disturbing activities, a substantial adverse change in
the significance of such a resource could occur.
Standard Condition SC-CUL-1 through SC-CUL-8 is required to reduce potentially significant impacts to
previously unknown human remains that may be unexpectedly discovered during Project implementation
to a less than significant level. SC-CUL-1 requires that in the unlikely event that human remains are
uncovered the contractor is required to halt work in the immediate area of the find and to notify the County
Coroner, in accordance with Health and Safety Code § 7050.5, who must then determine whether the
remains are of forensic interest. If the Coroner, with the aid of a supervising archaeologist, determines
that the remains are or appear to be of a Native American, he/she must contact the Native American
Heritage Commission for further investigations and proper recovery of such remains, if necessary. Impacts
will be less than significant with implementation of the aforementioned Standard Conditions.
Further, pursuant to Public Resource Code Section 5097.98(b) remains shall be left in place and free from
disturbance until a final decision as to the treatment and disposition has been made. If the Riverside
County Coroner determines the remains to be Native American, the Native American Heritage Commission
shall be contacted within the period specified by law (24 hours). Subsequently, the Native American
Heritage Commission shall identify the "most likely descendant". The most likely descendant shall then
make recommendations and engage in consultation concerning the treatment of the remains as provided
in Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. Human remains from other ethnic/cultural groups with
recognized historical associations to the Project area shall also be subject to consultation between
appropriate representatives from that group and the Community Development Director. Thus, compliance
with the above-referenced state laws will reduce impacts to less than significant levels.
Standard Conditions and Requirements:
SC-CUL-1 Human Remains.
If human remains are encountered, State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 states that no
further disturbance shall occur until the Riverside County Coroner has made the necessary findings

SC-CUL-2 Non-Disclosure of Location Reburials.
It is understood by all parties that unless otherwise required by law, the site of any reburial of Native
American human remains or associated grave goods shall not be disclosed and shall not be
governed by public disclosure requirements of the California Public Records Act. The Coroner,
pursuant to the specific exemption set forth in California Government Code 6254 (r)., parties, and
Lead Agencies, will be asked to withhold public disclosure information related to such reburial,
pursuant to the specific exemption set forth in California Government Code 6254 (r).
SC-CUL-3 Inadvertent Archeological Find.
If during ground disturbance activities, unique cultural resources are discovered that were not
assessed by the archaeological report(s) and/or environmental assessment conducted prior to
project approval, the following procedures shall be followed. Unique cultural resources are defined,
for this condition only, as being multiple artifacts in close association with each other, but may
include fewer artifacts if the area of the find is determined to be of significance due to its sacred or
cultural importance as determined in consultation with the Native American Tribe(s).
a) All ground disturbance activities within 100 feet of the discovered cultural resources shall be
halted until a meeting is convened between the developer, the archaeologist, the tribal
representative(s) and the Community Development Director to discuss the significance of the
find.
b) At the meeting, the significance of the discoveries shall be discussed and after consultation
with the tribal representative(s) and the archaeologist, a decision shall be made, with the
concurrence of the Community Development Director, as to the appropriate mitigation
(documentation, recovery, avoidance, etc.) for the cultural resources.
c) Grading of further ground disturbance shall not resume within the area of the discovery until
an agreement has been reached by all parties as to the appropriate mitigation. Work shall be
allowed to continue outside of the buffer area and will be monitored by additional Tribal
monitors if needed.
d) Treatment and avoidance of the newly discovered resources shall be consistent with the
Cultural Resources Management Plan and Monitoring Agreements entered into with the
appropriate tribes. This may include avoidance of the cultural resources through project
design, in-place preservation of cultural resources located in native soils and/or re-burial on
the Project property so they are not subject to further disturbance in perpetuity as identified in
Non-Disclosure of Reburial Condition.
e) If the find is determined to be significant and avoidance of the site has not been achieved, a
Phase III data recovery plan shall be prepared by the project archeologist, in consultation with
the Tribe, and shall be submitted to the City for their review and approval prior to
implementation of the said plan.
f) Pursuant to Calif. Pub. Res. Code § 21083.2(b) avoidance is the preferred method of
preservation for archaeological resources and cultural resources. If the landowner and the
Tribe(s) cannot agree on the significance or the mitigation for the archaeological or cultural
resources, these issues will be presented to the City Community Development Director for
decision. The City Community Development Director shall make the determination based on
the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act with respect to archaeological

cultural and religious principles and practices of the Tribe. Notwithstanding any other rights
available under the law, the decision of the City Community Development Director shall be
appealable to the City Planning Commission and/or City Council.”
SC-CUL-4 Cultural Resources Disposition.
In the event that Native American cultural resources are discovered during the course of grading
(inadvertent discoveries), the following procedures shall be carried out for final disposition of the
discoveries:
a) One or more of the following treatments, in order of preference, shall be employed with the
tribes. Evidence of such shall be provided to the City of Menifee Community Development
Department:
i. Preservation-In-Place of the cultural resources, if feasible. Preservation in place means
avoiding the resources, leaving them in the place where they were found with no
development affecting the integrity of the resources.
ii. Reburial of the resources on the Project property. The measures for reburial shall include,
at least, the following: Measures and provisions to protect the future reburial area from
any future impacts in perpetuity. Reburial shall not occur until all legally required
cataloging and basic recordation have been completed, with an exception that sacred
items, burial goods and Native American human remains are excluded. Any reburial
process shall be culturally appropriate. Listing of contents and location of the reburial shall
be included in the confidential Phase IV report. The Phase IV Report shall be filed with
the City under a confidential cover and not subject to Public Records Request.
iii. If preservation in place or reburial is not feasible then the resources shall be curated in a
culturally appropriate manner at a Riverside County curation facility that meets State
Resources Department Office of Historic Preservation Guidelines for the Curation of
Archaeological Resources ensuring access and use pursuant to the Guidelines. The
collection and associated records shall be transferred, including title, and are to be
accompanied by payment of the fees necessary for permanent curation. Evidence of
curation in the form of a letter from the curation facility stating that subject archaeological
materials have been received and that all fees have been paid, shall be provided by the
landowner to the City. There shall be no destructive or invasive testing on sacred items,
burial goods and Native American human remains. Results concerning finds of any
inadvertent discoveries shall be included in the Phase IV monitoring report.
SC-CUL-5 Prior to Grading Permit Issuance
Archeologist Retained. Prior to issuance of a grading permit the project applicant shall retain a Riverside
County qualified archaeologist to monitor all ground disturbing activities in an effort to identify any unknown
archaeological resources.
The Project Archaeologist and the Tribal monitor(s) shall manage and oversee monitoring for all initial
ground disturbing activities and excavation of each portion of the project site including clearing,
grubbing, tree removals, mass or rough grading, trenching, stockpiling of materials, rock crushing,
structure demolition and etc. The Project Archaeologist and the Tribal monitor(s), shall have the
authority to temporarily divert, redirect or halt the ground disturbance activities to allow identification,
evaluation, and potential recovery of cultural resources in coordination with any required special
interest or tribal monitors.
The developer/permit holder shall submit a fully executed copy of the contract to the Community
Development Department to ensure compliance with this condition of approval. Upon verification, the
Community Development Department shall clear this condition.

Tract Map No. 36911 (Urban Crossroads, April 5, 2018); see Appendix A, Air Quality Analysis and
Appendix E, Greenhouse Gas Analysis.
Applicable General Plan Policies:
Goal OSC-4: Efficient and environmentally appropriate use and management of energy and mineral
resources to ensure their availability for future generations.
Policy OSC-4.1: Apply energy efficiency and conservation practices in land use, transportation demand
management, and subdivision and building design.
Analysis of Project Effect and Determination of Significance:
Impact VI.a-b): Less Than Significant Impact. California Code Title 24, Part 6 (also referred to as the
California Energy Code), was promulgated by the CEC in 1978 in response to a legislative mandate to
create uniform building codes to reduce California’s energy consumption. To these ends, the California
Energy Code provides energy efficiency standards for residential and nonresidential buildings. California’s
building efficiency standards are updated on an approximately three‐year cycle. The 2019 Standards for
building construction, which went into effect on January 1, 2020, improved upon the former 2018 Standards
for residential and nonresidential buildings.
For new development such as that proposed by the Project, compliance with California Building Standards
Code Title 24 energy efficiency requirements (CalGreen) are considered demonstrable evidence of
efficient use of energy. Residential development on the Project site would be required to promote and
provide for energy efficiencies beyond those required under other applicable federal or State of California
standards and regulations, and in so doing would meet all California Building Standards Code 24
standards. Moreover, energy consumed by the Project is expected be comparable to, or less than, energy
consumed by other residential uses of similar scale and intensity that are constructed and operating in
California. On this basis, the Project would not result in the inefficient, wasteful, or unnecessary
consumption of energy. Furthermore, the Project would not cause or result in the need for additional
energy facilities or energy delivery systems. Less than significant impacts would occur.

Policy S-2.1: Require all new developments to mitigate the geologic hazards that have the potential to
impact habitable structures and other improvements.
Policy S-2.3: Minimize grading and modifications to the natural topography to prevent the potential for
man-induced slope failures.
Analysis of Project Effect and Determination of Significance:
Impact VII.a.i) Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo
Earthquake Fault Zone and there are no known active faults on or immediately adjacent to the property.8
The closest faults to the project site is the Wildomar/Lake Elsinore Fault located approximately 10.0 miles
southwest and the San Jacinto Fault located approximately 11.0 miles northeast. Additionally, the geologic
investigation concluded that the site is not located within any California Fault Rupture Hazard Zone.
Furthermore, the site lacks geomorphic features indicative of faulting such as offset drainage courses,
topographic scarps, or sag ponds.9 Therefore, the project would not have substantial adverse effects
involving rupture of a known earthquake fault and a less than significant impact would occur in this regard.
Impact VII.a.ii-iv, VII.c-d) Less Than Significant. While the site is in a seismically active region, no active
or potentially active faults are presently known to exist at this site, as shown on the MGP Fault Map
Exhibit S-1. Although the site is likely to experience ground shaking during the life of the development due
to its regional location, with compliance with the latest California Building Code (CBC) would provide for
the development of seismically suitable structures. Additionally, the MGP Liquefaction and Landslides Map,
Exhibit S-3, shows that the project site is not delineated as a landslide or liquefaction zone. Similarly, the
geologic report concluded that the project site is has a very low potential for liquefaction, landslides, ground
rupture, and/or earthquake induced settlement.10
However, given the potential for seismic activity in the general region, moderate to strong seismic shaking
may occur during the project’s design life. Therefore, project implementation could expose people or
structures to potential substantial adverse effects involving strong seismic ground shaking. The intensity
of ground shaking on the project site would depend on several factors including: the distance to the
earthquake focus, the earthquake magnitude, the response characteristics of the underlying materials, and
the quality and type of construction.
In summary, the Geotechnical Investigation concluded the project is feasible from a geotechnical
perspective provided the recommendations in the Geotechnical Investigation are confirmed by testing
following rough grading and then are incorporated into design and carried out through construction.
Regulatory controls to address potential geologic and seismic hazards would be imposed on the project
through the permitting process. Pursuant to MMC §8.04.010, the City has adopted the 2019 California
Building Code (CBC), subject to certain amendments and changes. CBC design standards correspond to
the level of seismic risk in a given location and are intended primarily to protect public safety and secondly
to minimize property damage. The project would be subject to compliance with all applicable regulations
in the most recently published CBC (as amended by MMC §8.04.010), which specifies design requirements
to mitigate the effects of potential geologic and seismic hazards. Additionally, Geotechnical Investigation
Page 14 through 16 makes preliminary recommendations concerning seismic design parameters.
Standard Condition SC-GEO-1 requires that the Applicant comply with the recommendations of the
Geotechnical Investigation and any revisions deemed necessary by the City’s Building Official and/or

Works Department would review construction plans for compliance with the MMC/CBC and the
Geotechnical Investigation’s recommendations. Following compliance with standard engineering practices,
the Geotechnical Investigation’s recommendations (SC-GEO-1), and the established regulatory framework
(i.e., MMC and CBC), the project’s potential impacts concerning exposure of people or structures to
potential substantial adverse effects involving geologic and seismic hazards, and unstable conditions,
would be less than significant.
Impact VII.b) Less Than Significant Impact. Grading and earthwork activities during construction would
expose soils to potential short-term erosion by wind and water. During construction, the project would be
subject to compliance with erosion and sediment control measures and the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Construction and
Land Disturbance Activities (Order No. 2009-0009-DWQ, and all subsequent amendments) (Construction
General Permit); see Response X.a). MMC §15.01.015(B)(1) specifies that any person performing
construction work in the City shall comply with the provisions of MMC Chapter 15.01 and control stormwater
runoff so as to prevent any likelihood of adversely affecting human health or the environment. The Director
of Public Works would identify the BMP’s that may be implemented to prevent such deterioration and the
manner of implementation. Further, the project proposes hardscapes throughout most of the project site,
which would stabilize soils and contain them onsite. Following compliance with the established regulatory
framework (NPDES and MMC), the project’s potential impacts concerning soil erosion and loss of topsoil
would be less than significant and no mitigation is required.
Impact VII.e) No Impact. Sewers would be available for disposal of project generated wastewater; see
Responses XIX.a.The project would not utilize septic tanks or alternative waste water disposal systems.
Therefore, no impact would occur in this regard and no mitigation is required.
Impact VII.f) Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is located in an area designated as having
moderate susceptibility to wind erosion. However, the site is surrounded by residential development to the
east, which would minimize exposure to wind erosion. As such, it is not anticipated that high winds or
blowing sand would have substantial impacts on project-related improvements. Project implementation
would cover currently exposed soils with buildings/improvements, further reducing potential impacts related
to windblown dust or sand within the project vicinity.
Impact VII.g) Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. While no fossils are known
to have been collected within the site or within a one-mile radius of the site, significant fossils have been
approximately 9.0 miles to the southeast of the project site in Pleistocene-age alluvial fan deposits exposed
during construction of the Diamond Valley Lake project. According to the City of Menifee’s General Plan,
the majority of the City is assigned as a high paleontological sensitivity which includes the project site. The
project site is bordered to the west by an area assigned as a low sensitive site.11 The Geotechnical
Investigation concluded that the project site is underlain by very old alluvial fan deposits of early to mid-
Plestocene age. The alluvium material was encountered within each exploratory exaction and is reported
to cover the entire site at the ground surface. The alluvium deposits range in thickness from more than
thirteen feet in the norther portion of the site to less than two feet in the higher southern area. Bedrock is
underlays the very old alluvial fan deports across the entire site. Given that the project site’s paleontological
sensitivity is high, and given the excavation of native soils ranges from two to thirteen feet within a sensitive
area, there is potential to encounter fossils, which may be impacted during excavation by construction
activities. Implementation of GEO-1 would reduce potential impacts to paleontological resources to a less
than significant level.

Works Director, that the recommendations for design and construction identified in the Limited
Engineering Geologic Study, Tentative Tract Map No. 36911, (RGS Engineering Geology,
February 27, 2019), have been incorporated into the project design, and grading and building plans.
The project’s final grading plans, foundation plans, building loads, and specifications shall be
reviewed by a State of California Registered Professional Geologist/Registered Professional
Engineer to verify that the Geologic Study recommendations have been incorporated/updated, as
needed.
Mitigation Measures:
GEO-1: Paleontological Monitoring A qualified project paleontologist, that meets qualifications described
in the paleontology report and is approved by the City of Menifee, should be retained to monitor
for and address incidental discovery during project construction activities.
The project paleontologist retained shall review the approved development plan and shall
conduct any pre-construction work necessary to render appropriate monitoring and mitigation
requirements as appropriate. These requirements shall be documented by the project
paleontologist in a Paleontological Resource Impact Mitigation Program (PRIMP). This PRIMP
shall be submitted to the Community Development Department for review and approval prior to
issuance of a Grading Permit.
Information to be contained in the PRIMP, at a minimum and in addition to other industry standard
and Society of Vertebrate Paleontology standards, are as follows:
i. The project paleontologist shall participate in a pre-construction project meeting with
development staff and construction operations to ensure an understanding of any mitigation
measures required during construction, as applicable.
ii. Paleontological monitoring of earthmoving activities will be conducted on an as-needed
basis by the project paleontologist during all earthmoving activities that may expose sensitive
strata. Earthmoving activities in areas of the project area where previously undisturbed strata
will be buried but not otherwise disturbed will not be monitored. The project paleontologist
or his/her assign will have the authority to reduce monitoring once he/she determines the
probability of encountering fossils has dropped below an acceptable level.
iii. If the project paleontologist finds fossil remains, earthmoving activities will be diverted
temporarily around the fossil site until the remains have been evaluated and recovered.
Earthmoving will be allowed to proceed through the site when the project paleontologist
determines the fossils have been recovered and/or the site mitigated to the extent necessary.
iv. If fossil remains are encountered by earthmoving activities when the project paleontologist
is not onsite, these activities will be diverted around the fossil site and the project
paleontologist called to the site immediately to evaluate the significance of the discovery,
recover the remains, if deemed necessary, in accordance with GEO-2.
v. If fossil remains are encountered, fossiliferous rock will be recovered from the fossil site and
processed to allow for the recovery of smaller fossil remains. Test samples may be
recovered from other sampling sites in the rock unit if appropriate.
vi. Any recovered fossil remains will be prepared to the point of identification and identified to
the lowest taxonomic level possible by knowledgeable paleontologists. The remains then will
be curated (assigned and labeled with museum* repository fossil specimen numbers and
corresponding fossil site numbers, as appropriate; places in specimen trays and, if
necessary, vials with completed specimen data cards) and catalogued, an associated
specimen data and corresponding geologic and geographic site data will be archived
(specimen and site numbers and corresponding data entered into appropriate museum
repository catalogs and computerized data bases) at the museum repository by a laboratory

technician. The remains will then be accessioned into the museum* repository fossil
collection, where they will be permanently stored, maintained, and, along with associated
specimen and site data, made available for future study by qualified scientific investigators.
*The City of Menifee must be consulted on the repository/museum to receive the fossil
material prior to being curated.
vii. A qualified paleontologist shall prepare a report of findings made during all site grading
activity with an appended itemized list of fossil specimens recovered during grading (if any).
This report shall be submitted to the Community Development Department for review and
approval prior to building final inspection as described elsewhere in these conditions.
All reports shall be signed by the project paleontologist and all other professionals
responsible for the report's content (e.g., Professional Geologist, Professional Engineer,
etc.), as appropriate. Two wet-signed original copies of the report shall be submitted directly
to the Community Development Department along with a copy of this condition, deposit-
based fee and the grading plan for appropriate case processing and tracking.

Existing Setting:
Global Warming and Greenhouse Gases
Global climate change refers to changes in average climatic conditions on earth as a whole, including
temperature, wind patterns, precipitation and storms. Global warming, a related concept, is the observed
increase in average temperature of the earth’s surface and atmosphere. The six major greenhouse gases
(GHGs) identified by the Kyoto Protocol are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N20),
sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and perfluorocarbons (PFCs). GHGs absorb
longwave radiant energy reflected by the earth, which warms the atmosphere. GHGs also radiate long
wave radiation both upward to space and back down toward the surface of the earth. The downward part
of this longwave radiation absorbed by the atmosphere is known as the “greenhouse effect.” The potential
effects of global climate change may include rising surface temperatures, loss in snow pack, sea level rise,
more extreme heat days per year, and more drought years.
CO2 is an odorless, colorless natural GHG. Natural sources include the following: decomposition of dead
organic matter; respiration of bacteria, plants, animals, and fungus; evaporation from oceans; and volcanic
outgassing. Anthropogenic (human-caused) sources of CO2 are from burning coal, oil, natural gas, wood,
butane, propane, etc. CH4 is a flammable gas and is the main component of natural gas. N20, also known
as laughing gas, is a colorless GHG. Some industrial processes (fossil fuel-fired power plants, nylon
production, nitric acid production, and vehicle emissions) also contribute to the atmospheric load of GHGs.
HFCs are synthetic man-made chemicals that are used as a substitute for chlorofluorocarbons (whose
production was stopped as required by the Montreal Protocol) for automobile air conditioners and
refrigerants. The two main sources of PFCs are primary aluminum production and semiconductor
manufacture. SF6 is an inorganic, odorless, colorless, nontoxic, nonflammable gas. SF6 is used for
insulation in electric power transmission and distribution equipment, in the magnesium industry, in
semiconductor manufacturing, and as a tracer gas for leak detection.
Events and activities, such as the industrial revolution and the increased combustion of fossil fuels (e.g.,
gasoline, diesel, coal, etc.), have heavily contributed to the increase in atmospheric levels of GHGs. An air
quality analysis of GHGs is a much different analysis than the analysis of criteria pollutants for the following
reasons. For criteria pollutants significance thresholds are based on daily emissions because attainment
or non-attainment is based on daily exceedances of applicable ambient air quality standards. Further,
several ambient air quality standards are based on relatively short-term exposure effects on human health,
e.g., one-hour and eight-hour. Since the half-life of CO2 in the atmosphere is approximately 100 years, for
example, the effects of GHGs are longer term, affecting global climate over a relatively long timeframe. As
a result, the SCAQMD’s current position is to evaluate GHG effects over a longer timeframe than a single
day.
In its CEQA and Climate Change document (January 2008), the California Air Pollution Control Officers
Association (CAPCOA) identifies many potential GHG significance threshold options. The CAPCOA
document indicates that establishing quantitative thresholds is a balance between setting the level low
enough to capture a substantial portion of future residential and non-residential development, while also
setting a threshold high enough to exclude small development projects that would contribute a relatively
small fraction of the cumulative statewide GHG emissions. Two potential significance thresholds were
10,000 metric tons per year and 25,000 metric tons per year.
Finally, another approach to determining significance is to estimate what percentage of the total inventory
of GHG emissions are represented by emissions from a single project. If emissions are a relatively small
percentage of the total inventory, it is possible that the project would have little or no effect on global climate
change.
According to available information, the statewide inventory of CO2 equivalent emissions is as follows: 1990
GHG emissions were estimated to equal 427 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent, and 2020 GHG
emissions are projected to equal 600 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent, under a business as usual
scenario. Interpolating an inventory for the year 2011 results in an estimated inventory of approximately

121 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent. Interpolating an inventory for the year 2012 results in an
estimated inventory of approximately 127 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent. These amounts assume
that between 1990 and 2020 there is an average increase of 5.76 million tons per year of GHG.
Analysis of Project Effect and Determination of Significance:
Impacts VIII.a) Less Than Significant Impact. The project would comprise 68 single-family residential
dwelling units, which is consistent with the land use type and density designated for the project site in the
General Plan. It should also be noted that the City of Menifee does not yet have an adopted GHG inventory
or an adopted GHG reduction plan (such as a Climate Action Plan). The City also has not adopted a
quantitative threshold of significance for GHGs.
As shown in Table 7, the project’s emissions would generate approximately 1,648 metric tons of CO2
equivalents per year. According to SCAQMD, a cumulative global climate change impact would occur if
the GHG emissions created from the on‐going project operations would exceed 3,000 metric tons per year
of CO2e. Therefore, project operations would not create a significant cumulative impact to global climate
change.

The project is also subject to compliance with 2019 CALGreen (CCR Title 24 Part 11) requirements. The
Code is a comprehensive and uniform regulatory code for all residential, commercial, and school buildings.
CALGreen provides the minimum standards that buildings need to meet to be certified for occupancy. The
project’s CALGreen compliance would be enforced through the City’s Building Official.
Impacts VIII. b) Less Than Significant Impact. The City of Menifee has not yet adopted a qualified GHG
reduction plan. The City of Menifee General Plan includes policies and measures (shown in General Plan
Draft EIR GHG section Table 5.7-9) for the City to implement in support of achieving the reduction target
of AB 32 and the statewide GHG reduction goal of Executive Order S-03-05. The City has adopted the
2019 edition of the California Building Code (Title 24), including the California Green Building Standards
Code (pursuant to Menifee Municipal Code Chapter 8.06). The Project will be subject to the California
Green Building Standards Code, which requires new buildings to reduce water consumption, employ
building commissioning to increase building system efficiencies for large buildings, divert construction
waste from landfills, and install low pollutant-emitting finish materials.
SB 32 requires the state to reduce statewide greenhouse gas emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels
by 2030, a reduction target that was first introduced in Executive Order B-30-15. The new legislation builds
upon the AB 32 goal of 1990 levels by 2020 and provides an intermediate goal to achieving S-3-05, which
sets a statewide greenhouse gas reduction target of 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050.

Modeling shows the GHG emissions from the proposed project will fall below the 3,000 metric ton limit
established by the SCAQMD in 2010. The project reduces its GHG emissions to the maximum extent
feasible as discussed above. In addition, all proposed improvements associated with the project will meet
current energy efficiency requirements of California Title 24. Those responsible for design and completion
of the project are dedicated to regulatory compliance in all other areas of construction and operation, the
requirements of many of which are mandated by the members of the Climate Action Team. For these
reasons, this project will be consistent with the California Scoping plan and should not conflict with
applicable plans, policies and regulations adopted for the purpose of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The project would not interfere with any future City-mandated, state-mandated, or federally-mandated
retrofit obligations enacted or promulgated to legally require development City-wide, state-wide, or nation-
wide to assist in meeting state-adopted GHG reduction targets, including those established under
Executive Orders S-3-05, B-30-15, or SB32. Therefore, the impact is considered less than significant.
Mitigation Measures: No mitigation is required.

Applicable General Plan Policies:
Goal S-5: A community that has reduced the potential for hazardous materials contamination.
Policy S-5.1: Locate facilities involved in the production, use, storage, transport, or disposal of
hazardous materials away from land uses that may be adversely impacted by such activities and areas
susceptible to impacts or damage from a natural disaster.
Policy S-5.2: Ensure that the fire department can continue to respond safely and effectively to a
hazardous materials incident in the City, whether it is a spill at a permitted facility, or the result of an
accident along a section of the freeway or railroads that extend across the City.
Policy S-5.4: Ensure that all facilities that handle hazardous materials comply with federal and state
laws pertaining to the management of hazardous wastes and materials.
Policy S-5.5: Require facilities that handle hazardous materials to implement mitigation measures that
reduce the risks associated with hazardous material production, storage, and disposal.
Goal S-6: A City that responds and recovers in an effective and timely manner from natural disasters
such as flooding, fire, and earthquakes, and as a result is not impacted by civil unrest that may occur
following a natural disaster.
Policy S-6.1: Continuously review, update, and implement emergency preparedness, response, and
recovery plans that make the best use of the City- and county-specific emergency management
resources available.
Analysis of Project Effect and Determination of Significance:
Impacts IX.a) Less Than Significant Impact. A typical project that could result in a significant hazard to
the public includes the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials or places housing near a
facility which routinely transports, uses, or disposes of hazardous materials. The routine use, transport, or
disposal of hazardous materials is primarily associated with industrial uses that require such materials for
operations or produce hazardous wastes as by-products of production applications.
Both the EPA and the US Department of Transportation (DOT) regulate the transport of hazardous waste
and material, including transport via highway. The EPA administers permitting, tracking, reporting, and
operations requirements established by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. The DOT regulates
the transportation of hazardous materials through enforcement of the Hazardous Materials Transportation
Act. This act includes requirements for container design and labeling, as well as for driver training. The
established regulations are intended to track and manage the safe interstate transportation of hazardous
materials and waste. Additionally, State and local agencies enforce the application of these acts and
coordinate safety and mitigation responses in the case that accidents involving hazardous materials occur.

The proposed project does not propose or facilitate any activity involving significant use, routine transport,
or disposal of hazardous substances. Project construction activities may include refueling and minor
maintenance of construction equipment on-site, which could lead to minor fuel and oil spills. The use and
handling of hazardous materials during construction would occur in accordance with applicable federal,
State, and local laws, including California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA)
requirements. It is anticipated that a minor level of transport, use, and disposal of hazardous materials and
wastes would occur that are typical of construction projects.
During project operations, widely used hazardous materials common at residential uses include cleaners,
pesticides, and food waste would be present. The remnants of these and other products are disposed of
as household hazardous waste that are prohibited or discouraged from being disposed of at local landfills.
Regular operation and cleaning of the single-family homes would not result in significant impacts involving
use, storage, transport or disposal of hazardous wastes and substances. Use of common household
hazardous materials and their disposal does not present a substantial health risk to the community
Additionally, the Project site is not included on the list of hazardous waste sites (Cortese List) compiled by
the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and
therefore would not release known hazardous materials due to ground-disturbing activities.12 Project
impacts associated with the routine transport and use of hazardous materials or wastes would be less than
significant.
Impact IX.b) Less Than Significant Impact. Refer to Response IX.a above. The project site is not
identified as a hazardous waste site with either an active or past occurrence. 13 The nearest three listed
sites on EnviroStor are classified as inactive or not requiring further action. The closest site to the project
site is identified as Elementary School No. 14 located approximately 0.5 miles west (Inactive Status), prior
McCall Mesa K-8 School located approximately 1.5 miles southeast (No Further Action Status), and The
Club K-8 School located approximately 1.5 miles northeast. However, after aerial review of these sites,
neither Elementary School No. 14 or The Club K-8 are in existence.
Additionally, the project includes the development of 68 single-family residential lots. Although typical
hazardous materials associated with residential development may be used (household pesticides, oils,
fertilizers, household chemicals, etc.) these hazardous materials would not be used in large amounts and
thus would not create a significant hazard involving the release of these materials. Because the project
site is undeveloped, there would be no impacts related to structures with asbestos-containing materials or
lead-based paint. With adherence to existing regulations, the proposed project would not create a
significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident
conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment; impacts would be less than
significant. No mitigation is required.
Impact IX.c) No Impact. The proposed uses are residential, which would not emit hazardous emissions
or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste. There are no schools within a
0.5 mile of the project site. The nearest school is the Hans Christensen Middle School located at 27625
Sherman Road, 92585, which is approximately 2.0 miles from the project site. No impact would occur in
this regard and no mitigation is required.
Impact IX.d) No Impact. Government Code §65962.5 refers to the Hazardous Waste and Substances Site
List, commonly known as the Cortese List, maintained by the Department of Toxic Substances Control
(DTSC). As stated in Impact IX.a, the project site is not included on the Cortese List. Therefore, the project
would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment in this regard.

Impact IX.e) No Impact. The following airports/airstrips are located nearest the project site:
Perris Valley Airport: at 2091 Goetz Road, Perris, approximately 3.0 miles to the north;
French Valley Airport: at 37600 Sky Canyon Drive, Murrieta, approximately 11 miles to the
southeast;
Pines Airpark: at 32655 Flight Way, Winchester, approximately 9 miles to the east; and
Skylark Field Airport: at 20701 Cereal St, Lake Elsinore, CA 92530, approximately 10 miles to the
southwest.
The project site is not within the Perris Valley Airport Land Use Plan area14, and is not within 2.0 miles of
any other public airport/public use airport or in the vicinity of a private airstrip; therefore, the project would
not result in an airport-/airstrip-related safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area. No
impact would occur in this regard.
Impact IX.f) Less Than Significant Impact. The City of Menifee collaborates with local and regional
emergency service organizations and personnel to conduct simulated emergency response exercises
throughout the year. The City routinely coordinates with Riverside County/CAL Fire, Riverside County
Sheriff’s Department, Riverside County Emergency Management Department and the local utility providers
to discuss methods and response plans for various emergency scenarios that could potentially present
themselves within the region. Additionally, the City makes available to resident’s downloadable resources
such as emergency preparedness information session in PowerPoint, an emergency contact list, and a list
of responses to frequently asked questions. Additionally, the proposed project site would include two main
access points via Valley Boulevard and would include an internal circulation road that would allow for
emergency vehicles and resident movement/evacuation in case of an emergency. Therefore, impacts to
an emergency response plan would be less than significant.
Impact IX.g) Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is located within a Very High Fire Hazard
Severity Zone, as identified on the latest Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) maps prepared by the
California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CALFIRE) and in the MGP High Fire Hazard Areas,
Exhibit S-6.
The project would be subject to compliance with the CCR Title 24 Parts 2 and 9 – Fire Codes and California
Public Resources Code Sections 4290-4299 ad General Code Section 51178. The project would also be
subject to compliance with regulations pertaining to fire protection, including MMC Chapter 8.20, Fire Code.
Additionally a permanent fuel modification area shall be required around portions of the project, that are
adjacent or exposed to hazardous fire areas for the purpose of fire protection. The recommended width of
the fuel modification area shall be based on applicable Building and Fire codes and a Fire Hazard Analysis
Study approved by the Fire District Further, it is the City’s goal (Goal S-4) for a community that has effective
fire mitigation and response measures in place, and as a result is minimally impacted by wildland and
structure fires. To this end, the project would be subject to compliance with the following City policies:
Policy S-4.1: Require fire-resistant building construction materials, the use of vegetation control
methods, and other construction and fire prevention features to reduce the hazard of wildland fire.
Policy S-4.2: Ensure, to the maximum extent possible, that fire services, such as firefighting
equipment and personnel, infrastructure, and response times, are adequate for all sections of the
City.
Policy S-4.4: Review development proposals for impacts to fire facilities and compatibility with fire
areas or mitigate.

The Riverside County Fire Department (RCFD) provides fire protection and emergency medical response
services in the City of Menifee. The nearest fire station to the project site is Fire Station #07 located
approximately 1.5 miles southeast at 28349 Bradley Road, 92586. In coordination with the RCFD and
California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, the RCFD would evaluate the project to determine
the necessary fire prevention features. Following compliance with the established local and state regulatory
framework discussed above, the project would not expose people or structures to a significant risk involving
wildland fires and impacts would be less than significant in this regard.

Applicable General Plan Policies:
Goal S-3: A community that is minimally disrupted by flooding and inundation hazards.
Policy S-3.1: Require that all new developments and redevelopments in areas susceptible to flooding
(such as the 100-year floodplain and areas known to the City to flood during intense or prolonged rainfall
events) incorporate mitigation measures designed to mitigate flood hazards.
Policy S-3.2: Reduce flood hazards in developed areas known to flood.
Policy OSC-7.8: Protect groundwater quality by decommissioning existing septic systems and
establishing connections to sanitary sewer infrastructure.
Policy OSC-7.9: Ensure that high-quality potable water resources continue to be available by managing
stormwater runoff, wellhead protection, and other sources of pollutants.
Policy OSC-7.10: Preserve natural floodplains, including Salt Creek, Ethanac Wash, Paloma Wash,
and Warm Springs Creek, to facilitate water percolation, replenishment of the natural aquifer, proper
drainage, and prevention of flood damage.
Analysis of Project Effect and Determination of Significance:
Impacts X.a, c (i) – c (iii), X e) Less Than Significant Impact.
SHORT-TERM CONSTRUCTION
The project’s construction-related activities would include excavation, grading, and trenching, which would
displace soils and temporarily increase the potential for soils to be subject to wind and water erosion.
Construction-related erosion effects would be addressed through compliance with the NPDES program’s
Construction General Permit. Construction activity subject to this General Permit includes any construction
or demolition activity, including, but not limited to, clearing, grading, grubbing, or excavation, or any other
activity that results in a land disturbance of equal to or greater than 1.0 acre. Given that the project would
disturb an area greater than 1.0 acre, it would be subject to this General Permit.
To obtain coverage under the General Permit, dischargers are required to file with the State Water Board
the Permit Registration Documents (PRDs), which include a Notice of Intent (NOI) and other compliance-
related documents. The General Permit requires development and implementation of a Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and monitoring plan, which must include erosion-control and sediment-
control Best Management Practices (BMPs) that would meet or exceed General Permit-required measures
to control potential construction-related pollutants. MMC Chapter 15.01, Storm Water/Urban Runoff,
addresses stormwater and runoff pollution control and is intended to reduce the quantity of pollutants being
discharged to waters of the United States. MMC §15.01.015(B)(1) specifies that any person performing
construction work in the City shall comply with the provisions of MMC Chapter 15.01 and control stormwater
runoff so as to prevent any likelihood of adversely affecting human health or the environment. The Director
of Public Works would identify the BMP’s that may be implemented to prevent such deterioration and the
manner of implementation. Documentation on the effectiveness of BMP’s implemented to reduce the
discharge of pollutants to the MS4 would be required when requested by the Director of Public Works.
Further, the project proposes hardscapes throughout a large portion of the project site, which would be
stabilizing soils and contain them onsite as compared to the current undeveloped condition. Following
compliance with NPDES and MMC requirements, the project’s construction-related activities would not
violate water quality or waste discharge requirements. Additionally, the project would implement three
catch basins that would assist in the retention and collection of water runoff from hardscapes. A less than
significant impact would occur in this regard and no mitigation is required.
LONG-TERM OPERATIONS
Urban stormwater runoff is covered under the municipal permit for Riverside County, the NPDES Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit for stormwater and non-stormwater discharges from the MS4
within the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (RCFC&WCD) (CAS618033,
Order No. R8-2010-0033). The City of Menifee is a Co-Permittee (Discharger) under the MS4 Permit. Each
Co-Permittee is required to ensure that an appropriate Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) is
prepared for “New Development” (and “Significant Redevelopment”) projects for which a map or permit for

discretionary approval is sought. The New Development category includes new developments that create
10,000 SF or more of impervious surface (collectively over the entire project site) including residential
housing subdivisions requiring a Final Map, among other types of projects. The project would create more
than 10,000 SF of impervious surface area; as such, a WQMP must be prepared. The WQMP is required
to include site design (including, where feasible, LID principles), Source Control and Treatment Control
elements to reduce the discharge of pollutants in urban runoff. The proposed Project would include
approximately 1.5 acres among three water quality basins to capture urban runoff from the site.
Additionally, MMC §15.01.015(C) specifies that new development projects shall control stormwater runoff
so as to prevent any deterioration of water quality that would impair subsequent or competing uses of the
water. The Director of Public Works would identify the BMP’s that may be implemented to prevent such
deterioration and identify the manner of implementation. Documentation on the effectiveness of BMP’s
implemented to reduce the discharge of pollutants to the MS4 is required when requested by the Director
of Public Works.
Following compliance with the existing water quality regulatory framework (i.e., NPDES and MMC),
including implementation of BMP’s that would be specified in the project WQMP, project operations would
not violate water quality or waste discharge requirements. A less than significant impact would occur and
no mitigation is required.
Impact X.b) Less Than Significant Impact. If the project was to remove an existing groundwater recharge
area or substantially reduces runoff that results in groundwater recharge such that existing wells would no
longer be able to operate, a potentially significant impact could occur. The project site is located in the
Menifee Hydrologic Subarea (HSA) within the Perris Hydrologic Area of the San Jacinto Valley Hydrologic
Unit. Although the project would increase onsite impervious surface area, the project would include three
catch/infiltration basins throughout the site. The catch/infiltration basin would not pose a significant risk for
groundwater. Rather, the proposed catch/infiltration basin would recharge groundwater. The proposed
Project would not significantly impact local groundwater recharge. Impacts would be less than significant
and no mitigation is required.
Impact X.d) Less Than Significant Impact. Flood hazards for the City include dam inundation in the
event of a catastrophic failure, such as seismically induced dam failure. The California Division of Dam
Safety monitors the structural safety of dams that are greater than 25 feet high or have more than 50 acre-
feet of storage capacity. Parts of Menifee are within existing dam inundation areas for three dams at
Diamond Valley Lake, two dams at Canyon Lake, and one at Lake Perris Reservoir. Diamond Valley Lake
is located approximately 10.0 miles southeast of the project site, Canyon Lake is located approximately
4.0 miles southwest of the project site, and Perris Reservoir is located approximately 10.0 miles north of
the project site.
The project site is located in Zone X.15 Zone X corresponds to areas outside of the 500-year flood or areas
protected from a 100- year flood by levees. Additionally, the project site is located approximately 35 miles
from the Pacific Ocean. Given the distance from the coast and the previously mentioned dams, the potential
for inundation by a large catastrophic tsunami is extremely low. The design and construction of the dams
for earthquake resistance, in combination with continued monitoring by the California Division of Dam
Safety reduces risks of dam failure due to earthquakes. Dam inundation impacts would be less than
significant. No steep slopes are in the Project vicinity; therefore, the risk of mudflow is insignificant.
Therefore, potential impact concerning release of pollutants due to inundation from flood, tsunami, or
seiche are considered less than significant.
Mitigation Measures: No mitigation is required.

No
Impact
Would the project:
a) Physically divide an established community?
b) Cause a significant environmental impact due to a
conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation
adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an
environmental effect?
Sources: Menifee General Plan, Exhibit LU-2, “Land Use Map”; and Menifee Zoning Map.
Applicable General Plan Policies:
Goal LU-1: Land uses and building types that result in a community where residents at all stages of life,
employers, workers, and visitors have a diversity of options of where they can live, work, shop, and
recreate within Menifee.
Policy LU-1.1: Concentrate growth in strategic locations to help preserve rural areas, create place and
identity, provide infrastructure efficiently, and foster the use of transit options.
Policy LU-1.4: Preserve, protect, and enhance established rural, estate, and residential neighborhoods
by providing sensitive and well-designed transitions (building design, landscape, etc.) between these
neighborhoods and adjoining areas.
Policy LU-1.5: Support development and land use patterns, where appropriate, that reduce reliance on
the automobile and capitalize on multimodal transportation opportunities.
Policy LU-1.6: Coordinate land use, infrastructure, and transportation planning and analysis with
regional, county, and other local agencies to further regional and subregional goals for jobs-housing
balance.
Policy LU-1.8: Ensure new development is carefully designed to avoid or incorporate natural features,
including washes, creeks, and hillsides.
Policy LU-1.9: Allow for flexible development standards provided that the potential benefits and merit
of projects can be balanced with potential impacts.
Policy LU-1.10: Buffer sensitive land uses, such as residences, schools, care facilities, and recreation
areas from major air pollutant emission sources, including freeways, manufacturing, hazardous
materials storage, wastewater treatment, and similar uses.
Analysis of Project Effect and Determination of Significance:
Impact XI.a) No Impact. An example of a project that has the potential to divide an established community
includes the construction of a new freeway or highway through an established neighborhood. The project
proposes a residential community consisting of 68 single-family residential dwelling units. The project
would be located just west of an already established residential community and the general area is
developing into residential neighborhoods. Given the project’s nature, scope, and location, the project
would not physically divide an established community. No impact would occur in this regard and no
mitigation is required.
Impact XI.b) Less Than Significant Impact. The MGP Land Use Map depicts the City’s land use
designations and indicates the project site is designated 2.1-5 Dwelling Units per Acre - Residential (2.1‐
5R). The City Zoning Map indicates the project site is zoned Low-Density Residential - 2 (LDR-2) 7,200

SF. The project proposes residential uses, which are permitted in the LDR-2 Zone and 2.1-5R land use
designation. Therefore, the project would be consistent with the applicable land use plans. Given that the
General Plan EIR considered the potential environmental impacts associated with development of the
project site assuming the 2.1-5R land use designation, this project would not create any new or greater
environmental impacts than those identified in the General Plan EIR.
Mitigation Measures: No mitigation is required.

b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally-important
mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local
general plan, specific plan or other land use plan?
Sources: Menifee General Plan; MGP Draft EIR Figure 5.12-1, ”Mineral Resource Zones.”
Applicable General Plan Policies:
Goal OSC-4: Efficient and environmentally appropriate use and management of energy and mineral
resources to ensure their availability for future generations.
Goal OSC-4.1: Apply energy efficiency and conservation practices in land use, transportation demand
management, and subdivision and building design.
Goal OSC-4.3: Advocate for cost-effective and reliable production and delivery of electrical power to
residents and businesses throughout the community.
Policy OSC-4.4: Require that any future mining activities be in compliance with the State Mining
Reclamation Act, federal and state environmental regulations, and local ordinances.
Policy OSC-4.5: Limit the impacts of mining operations on the City's natural open space, biological and
scenic resources, and any adjacent land uses.
Analysis of Project Effect and Determination of Significance:
Impact XII.a-b) No Impact. The Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of 1975 (SMARA) requires
classification of land into MRZs according to the known or inferred mineral potential of the area. Under
SMARA, areas are categorized into MRZs as follows:
MRZ-1 Areas where the available geologic information indicates no significant mineral deposits or a
minimal likelihood of significant mineral deposits.
MRZ-2 Areas where the available geologic information indicates that there are significant mineral deposits
or that there is a likelihood of significant mineral deposits. However, the significance of the deposit
is undetermined.
MRZ-3 Areas where the available geologic information indicates that mineral deposits are inferred to exist;
however, the significance of the deposit is undetermined.
MRZ-4 Areas where there is not enough information available to determine the presence or absence of
mineral deposits.

There are no mineral extraction or process facilities on or near the project site. No mineral resources are
known to exist in the site and the site is designated as an Urban Area. An area approximately 0.5 miles
east of the site is identified as an MRZ-1 area. However, this area is mostly developed with residential
dwelling units and there are no signs of mining activities. Implementation of the proposed Project would
not deplete mineral deposits or involve mining activities. Furthermore, the Project site is not located in an
area identified as a locally important mineral resource recovery site and is not a mining area. Therefore,
the proposed Project would not result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource. Impacts would
be less than significant.
Mitigation Measures: No mitigation is required.

Policy N-1.8 Locate new development in areas where noise levels are appropriate for the proposed
uses. Consider federal, state, and City noise standards and guidelines as a part of new development
review.
Policy N-1.9: Limit the development of new noise-producing uses adjacent to noise-sensitive receptors
and require that new noise-producing land be are designed with adequate noise abatement measures.
Policy N-1.10: Guide noise-tolerant land uses into areas irrevocably committed to land uses that are
noise-producing, such as transportation corridors adjacent to the I-215 or within the projected noise
contours of any adjacent airports.
Policy N-1.11: Discourage the siting of noise-sensitive uses in areas in excess of 65 dBA CNEL without
appropriate mitigation.
Policy N-1.13: Require new development to minimize vibration impacts to adjacent uses during
demolition and construction.
Goal N-2: Minimal Noise Spillover. Minimal noise spillover from noise-generating uses, such as
agriculture, commercial, and industrial uses into adjoining noise-sensitive uses.
Refer to Appendix G Sections II and III for discussions concerning noise fundamentals and the existing
noise environment.
Analysis of Project Effect and Determination of Significance:
Impacts XIII.a-b) Less Than Significant with Mitigation.
SHORT-TERM CONSTRUCTION
Existing single‐family residential homes located south, east and west of the project site may be affected
by short‐term noise impacts associated with the transport of workers, the movement of construction
materials to and from the project site, and ground clearing, excavation, grading, and building activities.
Project generated construction noise would vary depending on the construction process, type of equipment
involved, location of the construction site with respect to sensitive receptors, the schedule proposed to
carry out each task (e.g., hours and days of the week) and the duration of the construction work. Site
grading and preparation is expected to produce the highest sustained construction noise levels.
The potential short-term noise impacts of construction activity have been calculated in Table 9. The
estimated construction noise levels are calculated using the Federal Highway Administration Roadway
Construction Noise Model Version 1.1. Noise levels are calculated based on the worst-case distance of
equipment operating over an 8-hour period; approximately 25 feet from the nearest residential property
line. The construction related noise levels are shown for each phase of construction.
As shown in Table 9, the peak 8-hour Leq noise levels will be 71.6 dBA Leq. Based on the results of the
analysis, construction noise levels are not expected to be exceed the 85 dBA Leq threshold over an 8-hour
period. Therefore, the project does not have the potential to cause a significant temporary increase in noise
associated with construction.

Per the Municipal Code construction activity is permitted between the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. from
June to September, and 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. from October to May with no activities allowed on Sundays
and federal holidays. The City does not have established construction standards. The noise levels in the
table include construction noise abatement measures included below. Therefore, Construction Noise
Impacts are less than significant.
To determine the vibratory impacts during construction, reference construction equipment vibration levels
were utilized and then extrapolated to the façade of the nearest adjacent structure. The nearest sensitive
receptors are residential homes located adjacent to the site on Valley Boulevard. For purposes of
assessing structural impacts from vibration, the nearest sensitive receptors are considered “new residential
structures.” No historical or fragile buildings are known to be located within the vicinity of the site. The
construction of the proposed project would not require the use of substantial vibration inducing equipment
or activities, such as pile drivers or blasting. The main sources of vibration impacts during construction of
the project would be from bulldozer activity during site preparation and grading and loading trucks during
excavation. Per Table 10 Construction Equipment Vibration Levels, none of the construction equipment
would exceed the FTA 80 VdB vibration standard. Decibel notation (VdB) is the average vibration amplitude
(also known as root mean square [RMS]) often used to describe the effect of vibration on the human body.
The background vibration-velocity level in residential areas is generally 50 VdB.

Construction Noise and Vibration Abatement Measures
Though construction noise is temporary, intermittent and of short duration, and will not present any long-
term impacts, the following practices would reduce noise level increases generated by the construction
equipment to the nearby noise-sensitive residential land uses.
· Prior to approval of grading plans and/or issuance of building permits, plans shall include a note
indicating that noise-generating Project construction activities shall only occur between the hours of
6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. from June to September, and 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. from October to May, with
no activity allowed on Sundays and nationally recognized holidays (Section 9.09.030(B) of the City of
Menifee Municipal Code).
· During all Project site construction, the construction contractors shall equip all construction equipment,
fixed or mobile, with properly operating and maintained mufflers, consistent with manufacturers’
standards. The construction contractor shall place all stationary construction equipment so that emitted
noise is directed away from the noise-sensitive receptors nearest the Project site.
· The construction contractor shall locate equipment staging in areas that will create the greatest
distance between construction-related noise sources and noise-sensitive receivers nearest the Project
site during all Project construction (i.e., to the center).
· The construction contractor shall limit haul truck deliveries to the same hours specified for construction
equipment (between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. from June to September, and 7:00 a.m. to
6:00 p.m. from October to May, with no activity allowed on Sundays and nationally recognized
holidays). The contractor shall design delivery routes to minimize the exposure of sensitive land uses
or residential dwellings to delivery truck-related noise.
LONG-TERM OPERATIONS
Noise Impacts to Off‐Site Receptors Due to Project Generated Traffic
Future development generated by the Project would result in additional traffic on adjacent roadways,
increasing vehicular noise near existing and proposed land uses. The project site and surrounding
residential areas adjacent to roadways currently experience traffic-related noise levels within the “normally
acceptable” 60 dBA CNEL limit for residential areas based on noise measurements taken in June 2017.
Valley Boulevard has existing average daily traffic (ADT) volumes of 35,900 vehicles. The project’s
contribution to traffic-related noise levels would remain within the “normally acceptable” 60 dBA CNEL limit.
Therefore, the increase in traffic is considered to be consistent with the City’s performance standards for
the planned circulation system established in the General Plan and the impact is considered less than
significant.
Noise Impacts to the Proposed Project
Traffic noise along Valley Boulevard would be the main source of noise impacting the project site and the
surrounding area.
The unmitigated exterior noise level in the backyard of the units nearest Valley Boulevard would range
from approximately 67.1 dBA CNEL to approximately 69.4 dBA CNEL. In order to ensure the noise levels
are below the 65 dBA CNEL exterior noise standard (conditionally acceptable noise range classification),
a minimum 6-foot noise shielding wall would be included as part of the project to enclose the backyard
area for all lots along Valley Boulevard (lots 36-68). With the installation of the 6-foot noise shielding wall,
the combined exterior noise levels will be below the City’s standard (range from 58.1 dBA CNEL to 62.3
dBA CNEL); refer to Mitigation Measure NOI-1.
Adequate building insulation and design must be provided to ensure interior noise levels do not exceed 45
dBA CNEL. While not required, the noise study also recommends an interior noise level design goal of 40

dBA CNEL using upgraded second floor windows with a minimum STC rating of 32 for windows facing
Valley Boulevard of lots 36-68.
Mitigation Measures:
NOI-1 Limit construction activities to daytime hours, Monday through Saturday, between 6:30 AM and
6:00 PM, June through September and 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, October through May. No construction
activity shall occur on Sundays or nationally recognized holidays.
NOI-2 Short-Term Construction Noise Impacts. Prior to Grading Permit issuance, the project applicant
shall demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the City of Menifee City Engineer that the project plan
specifications comply with the following:
1. During all project site excavation and grading on‐site, construction contractors shall equip all
construction equipment, fixed or mobile, with properly operating and maintained mufflers,
consistent with manufacturer standards.
2. The contractor shall place all stationary construction equipment so that emitted noise is directed
away from the noise-sensitive receptors nearest the project site.
3. Equipment shall be shut off and not left to idle when not in use.
4. The contractor shall locate equipment staging in areas that would create the greatest distance
between construction‐related noise sources and sensitive receptors nearest the project site
during all project construction as is feasible.
5. The project proponent shall mandate that the construction contractor prohibit the use of music
or sound amplification on the project site during construction.
6. The construction contractor shall limit haul truck deliveries to the same hours specified for
construction equipment.
7. During construction, the contractor shall ensure all construction equipment is equipped with
appropriate noise attenuating devices and equipment shall be maintained so that vehicles and
their loads are secured from rattling and banging. Idling equipment shall be turned off when not
in use.
NOI- 3 Construction Monitoring. A noise monitoring program shall be implemented during construction.
The monitoring program will alert construction management personnel when noise levels approach
the upper limits of the residential noise threshold (80 dBA) at the surrounding residential property
line. Construction activity will cease prior to noise levels exceeding the residential threshold.
NOI-4 Sound Walls and Windows. A Minimum 6-foot high sound walls are required around all habitable
exterior backyard and sideyard areas for lots 36 to 68. Additionally, upgraded second floor windows
with a minimum STC rating of 32 for windows facing Valley Boulevard of lots 36 to 68 are required.
Therefore, the project’s operational noise impacts would be reduced to less than significant with mitigation.
Impact XIII.c) Less than Significant Impact. The following airports/airstrips are located nearest the
project site:
Perris Valley Airport: at 2091 Goetz Road, Perris, approximately 2.5 miles to the north;
French Valley Airport: at 37600 Sky Canyon Drive, Murrieta, approximately 11 miles to the south;
Pines Airpark: at 32655 Flight Way, Winchester, approximately 8 miles to the east; and
Skylark Field Airport: at 20701 Cereal St, Lake Elsinore, CA 92530, approximately 9 miles to the
southwest.

The project site is within approximately 2.5 miles of the Perris Valley Airport. However, the adopted Land
Use Compatibility Plan for the Perris Valley Airport demonstrates that the project site is not within the
airport’s vicinity and would not be within the airport’s mapped noise contours.16 Additionally, the project site
is located outside the compatibility zone for the March Air Reserve Base/Inland Port Airport Land Use
Compatibility Plan (ALUC). The runway for March Air Reserve Base/Inland Port Airport is located
approximately 11 miles north of the project site.
The project site is not within 2.0 miles of any other public airport/public-use airport or in the vicinity of a
private airstrip; therefore, the project would not expose people residing or working in the project area to
excessive airport- airstrip-related noise levels. As such, this impact would be less than significant.

b) Displace substantial numbers of existing people or
housing, necessitating the construction of replacement
housing elsewhere?

2040 RTP Growth Forecast; and State of California, Department of Finance, E-5 Population and Housing
Estimates for Cities, Counties and the State — January 1, 2019.
Analysis of Project Effect and Determination of Significance:
Impact XIV.a) Less Than Significant Impact. As of January 1, 2019, the City’s population is
approximately 93,452 persons and the City’s housing stock totaled 93,264 DU with approximately 2.99
persons per household (PPH). 17 No land uses generating permanent employment or extension of roads
capable of inducing direct/indirect population growth in the City are proposed. The project proposes
development of a residential community consisting of 68 DU. Assuming 68 DU and 2.99 PPH, the project’s
forecast population growth is approximately 203 persons. Therefore, the project would induce direct
population growth in the City by proposing new homes. The project’s forecast population growth would
increase the City’s existing population by less than one percent (approximately 0.002%). According to the
Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable
Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS), Menifee’s population was estimated at 81,600 persons in 2012 and is
projected to increase to 121,100 persons by 204018, an increase of approximately 39,500 persons over
2012 conditions. As such, the project’s forecast population growth (203 persons) are within SCAG’s growth
assumptions for the City. Additionally, the project is consistent with City’s land use and zoning designation
and the project’s nominal population growth has been accounted for in the City’s General Plan and the

population growth is not considered substantial in a City-wide context. Therefore, the project would result
in a less than significant concerning population growth and no mitigation is required.
Impact XIV.b) No Impact. There are no housing units or other structures on the project site; therefore, the

Goal S-4: A community that has effective fire mitigation and response measures in place, and as a
result is minimally impacted by wildland and structure fires.
Policy S-4.1: Require fire-resistant building construction materials, the use of vegetation control
methods, and other construction and fire prevention features to reduce the hazard of wildland fire.
Policy S-4.2: Ensure, to the maximum extent possible, that fire services, such as firefighting equipment
and personnel, infrastructure, and response times, are adequate for all sections of the City.
Policy S-4.4: Review development proposals for impacts to fire facilities and compatibility with fire areas
or mitigate.
Goal OSC-1: A comprehensive system of high-quality parks and recreation programs that meets the
diverse needs of the community.
Policy OSC-1.7: Ensure that parks and recreational facilities are well-maintained by the responsible
agency.

Protection serves more than 1,360,000 residents and employs nearly 1,700 career and volunteer
firefighters and 240 administrative support personnel.19
The nominal population growth associated with the project would incrementally increase the demand for
fire protection and emergency medical services to the project site. However, the project would not have a
significant impact on fire response times, because the project site is within RCFD’s existing service area.
Therefore, project impacts concerning fire protection services would be less than significant and no
mitigation is required. Additionally, the project does not propose, and would not create a need for,
new/physically altered fire protection facilities, thus, less than significant environmental impacts would
occur in this regard. Further, the project would include improving the existing dirt portions west of Valley
Boulevard to a fully developed residential community. These roadway improvements would allow existing
fire service providers to better access the area and provide emergency services. Finally, the project will be
constructed to meet the latest CBC requirements and the project is subject to fire suppression development
impact fees and other standards and conditions required by the City and County Fire. As such, a less than
significant impact would occur.
Impacts XV.b) Less Than Significant Impact. The City of Menifee contracts with the Riverside County
Sheriff (Sheriff) to provide police services for the City. Menifee-specific police services are coordinated out
of the Sheriff’s Perris office at 137 North Perris Boulevard approximately 4.5 miles north of the project site.
In January 2013 the Perris Station was staffed with 138 sworn deputies and 30 classified employees,
including 33 patrol and traffic officers assigned to patrol in Menifee. Average Sheriff response time to
emergency calls is 7.28 minutes, and average response time for nonemergency calls is 49.58 minutes.20
The Sheriff will continue to provide police services to the City until July 1, 2020. On July 1st, the Menifee
Police Department (MPD) will take over. The police substation located at 28115 Bradley Road in the Sun
City portion of Menifee. Data is currently insufficient to make a forecast regarding potential impacts to the
MPD.
The Project is subject to Ordinance No. 17-232, Development Impact Fees (DIF). DIF shall be paid at the
time a certificate of occupancy is issued for the Development Project or upon final inspection, whichever
occurs first. However, the fees may be paid at the time application is made for a building permit. DIF is
used to pay for fire protection and emergency response services. Credits may be afforded to the applicant
if improvements are made to these facilities as part of the Project development.
The nominal population growth associated with the project would incrementally increase the demand for
police protection services to the project site. However, the proposed residential development would not
result in any unique or more extensive crime problems that cannot be handled with the existing level of
police resources. Additionally, the project would not have a significant impact on police response times,
because the project site is within the Police’s existing service area. Therefore, project impacts concerning
police protection services would be less than significant and no mitigation is required. Additionally, the
project does not propose, and would not create a need for, new/physically altered police protection
facilities; thus, less than significant environmental impacts would occur in this regard.
Impacts XV.c) Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is within jurisdiction of the Romoland
School District and Perris Union High School District. The student population growth associated with the
project would nominally/incrementally increase the demand for school facilities/services. However, the
project would be subject to payment of school impact fees in accordance with Senate Bill 50 (SB50).
Pursuant to Government Code §65995(3)(h), “payment of statutory fees is deemed to be full and complete
mitigation of the impacts of any legislative or adjudicative act, or both, involving, but not limited to, the
planning, use or development of real property…” Therefore, project impacts to schools would be less than
significant and no mitigation is required. Additionally, the project does not propose, and would not create

a need for, new/physically altered school facilities; thus, less than environmental impacts would occur in
this regard.
Impact XV. d - e) Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project is a residential development that
would result in nominal population growth. Although the project would bring new residents to the general
area, the use of parks and other facilities has been accounted for in the General Plan as the project site is
anticipated to develop with residential dwelling units, similar to the general vicinity. The proposed
residential development would not significantly increase the demand of such services and a less than
significant impact would occur.
Mitigation Measures: No mitigation is required.

substantial physical deterioration of the facility would
occur or be accelerated?
b) Does the project include recreational facilities or
require the construction or expansion of recreational
facilities which might have an adverse physical effect
on the environment?
Sources: Menifee General Plan; and MGP Draft EIR.
Applicable General Plan Policies:
Goal OSC-1: A comprehensive system of high-quality parks and recreation programs that meets the
diverse needs of the community.
Policy OSC-1.1: Provide parks and recreational programs to meet the varied needs of community
residents, including children, youth, adults, seniors, and persons with disabilities, and make these
facilities and services easily accessible and affordable to all users.
OSC-1.2: Require a minimum of five acres of public open space to be provided for every 1,000 City
residents.
OSC-1.3: Locate and distribute parks and recreational facilities throughout the community so that most
residents are within walking distance (one-half mile) of a public open space.
Analysis of Project Effect and Determination of Significance:
Impact XVI.a-b) Less Than Significant Impact. As specified in MMC the City requires dedication of land
for park or recreation facilities, or payment of fees in-lieu thereof (or a combination of both), incidental to
and as a condition of approval for a tentative or parcel map. MMC specifies that dedication of land/Quimby
Fees for park or recreational purposes shall be at the rate of 5.0 acres per 1,000 residents.
Per City of Menifee Resolution 16-514, single-family residential dwelling units must assume an average
population per dwelling unit of 3.164 to calculate Quimby fees or use the latest U.S. Census data. Based

on 2019 U.S. Census estimates, there are approximately 3.09 persons per household in the City21. That is
approximately 210 persons from the establishment of the new community. Based on this forecast
population growth and the City’s park area target of 5.0 acres per 1,000 persons, the project would create
a demand for approximately 1.05 acres of park/recreational area. Additionally, the population growth
associated with the project could also incrementally increase the use of existing recreational facilities,
potentially accelerating their deterioration. Following compliance with MMC Chapter 9.55 requirements,
although the project is not setting land aside for park space, it will be paying the appropriate fees based on
the latest fee for City park improvements. As such, the project would result in a less than significant impact
to park/recreational facilities and no mitigation is required.
Mitigation Measures: No mitigation is required.

Analysis of Project Effect and Determination of Significance:
Impact XVII.a) Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation. The intersection LOS analysis is based
on the traffic volumes observed during the peak hour conditions using traffic count data collected in
December 2017.
The following peak hours were selected for analysis:
· Weekday AM Peak Hour (peak hour between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM)
· Weekday PM Peak Hour (peak hour between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM)
The weekday AM and PM peak hour count data is representative of typical peak hour traffic conditions in
the study area. The raw manual peak hour turning movement traffic count data sheets are included in
Appendix 3.1 of the Traffic Impact Analysis prepared by Urban Crossroads in March 9, 2020 (See
Appendix G). The raw turning volumes have been flow conserved between intersections with limited
access, no access and where there are currently no uses generating traffic.
Per the direction of City of Menifee staff, a 2.0% ambient growth factor was applied to the 2017 traffic count
data to reflect 2018 conditions. The year 2018 represents the baseline traffic conditions for the traffic study
prepared for the project. Table 8, Project Trip Generation, presents the daily and peak hour trip generation
for the proposed project. As indicated in Table 11, the proposed project is anticipated to generate
approximately 1,643 ADT, including an estimated 56 AM peak hour trips and 74 PM peak hour trips.

Intersection Analysis
Level of Service (LOS) “D” is generally considered acceptable at intersections within the City of Menifee.
LOS “E” may be allowed in designated Economic Development Corridors to the extent that it would support
transit-oriented development and pedestrian communities. The LOS criteria recognizes the physical and
financial limitations of providing additional infrastructure to satisfy peak hour traffic demands considering
that traffic congestion itself encourages the use of alternative modes of transportation. LOS “E” may also
be used at constrained intersections in close proximity to I-215. Hence, this analysis utilizes the following
LOS Standards at each study intersection:
· Valley Boulevard / Chambers Avenue – LOS D
· Valley Boulevard / Connie Way – LOS D
· Murrieta Road / Chambers Avenue – LOS D
· Murrieta Road / McCall Boulevard – LOS D
The unsignalized study intersections have been evaluated for signalization based on the peak hour
warrants and procedures contained in the latest editions of the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (CA MUTCD). None of the unsignalized study intersections are forecast to satisfy the MUTCD
peak hour traffic signal warrants for Cumulative (2021) With Project Conditions and therefore would not
warrant a traffic signal in the other scenarios either.
Existing and Existing Plus Project Conditions
As shown in Table 12, Study Intersection LOS Analysis Summary: Existing Conditions Plus Project, all
study area intersections are currently operating at an acceptable level of service during the peak hours for
Existing Conditions. Similarly, all study area intersections are forecast to continue to operate at an
acceptable level of service during the peak hours for Existing Plus Project Conditions. Based on agency-
established thresholds of significance, the proposed project is forecast to not result in a significant traffic
impact at the study intersections for Existing Plus Project Conditions.

Opening Year Cumulative (2020) Conditions
Roadway Improvements
This scenario includes Existing traffic volumes, an ambient growth factor of 4.04% plus traffic from pending
and approved but not yet constructed known development projects in the area. The lane configurations
and traffic controls assumed to be in place for Opening Year Cumulative (2020) Without Project conditions
are consistent, with the exception of the following:
· Cumulative project driveways and those facilities assumed to be constructed by the cumulative
development projects to provide site access are also assumed to be in place for Opening Year
Cumulative (2020) conditions only (e.g., intersection and roadway improvements along cumulative
development’s frontage and driveways).
The lane configurations and traffic controls assumed to be in place for Opening Year Cumulative (2020)
With Project are consistent with those shown previously in the TIA.
Without Project Conditions
LOS calculations were conducted for the study intersections to evaluate their operations under Opening
Year Cumulative Without Project conditions with roadway and intersection geometrics consistent with
Opening Year Cumulative (2020) Roadway Improvements.
As shown in Table 11, Intersection Analysis for Opening Year Cumulative (2020) Conditions. The
following study intersection is anticipated to operate at unacceptable LOS:
· Murrieta Rd. / Chambers Av. (#3) – LOS E PM peak hour only

Mitigation Measure and Fair Share Contribution:
TRF-1: Applicant shall pay a fair share contribution toward the installation of improvements at intersection
#3 Murrieta Road / Chambers Avenue, per City of Menifee Engineering Department Conditions of
Approval.
Fair Share Contribution
Project mitigation may include a combination of fee payments to established programs (e.g., TUMF, and/or
DIF), construction of specific improvements, payment of a fair share contribution toward future
improvements or a combination of these approaches. Improvements constructed by development may be
eligible for a fee credit or reimbursement through the program where appropriate (to be determined at the
City of Menifee’s discretion).
When off‐site improvements are identified with a minor share of responsibility assigned to proposed
development, the approving jurisdiction may elect to collect a fair share contribution or require the
development to construct improvements. Detailed fair share calculations, for each peak hour are provided
on Table 16, Project Fair Share Calculations, for the deficient intersection shown previously on Table 15.
Improvements included in a defined program and constructed by development may be eligible for a fee
credit or reimbursement through the program where appropriate.

applicable City of Menifee standards.
COA-2: On‐site traffic signing, and striping should be implemented in conjunction with detailed construction
plans for the project site.
COA-3: Sight distance at each project access point should be reviewed with respect to standard
Caltrans and City of Menifee sight distance standards at the time of preparation of final grading, landscape
and street improvement
COA-4: Valley Boulevard / Driveway 1/Chambers Avenue (#1) – Install a stop control on the eastbound
approach and construct the intersection with the following minimum geometrics:
· Northbound Approach: One shared through‐left turn lane and one right turn lane.
· Southbound Approach: One shared left‐through‐right turn lane.
· Eastbound Approach: One shared left‐through‐right turn lane.
· Westbound Approach: One shared through‐left turn lane and one right turn lane.
COA-5: Valley Boulevard / Driveway 2/Connie Way (#2) – Install a stop control on the northbound
approach and construct the intersection with the following minimum geometrics:
· Northbound Approach: One shared left-through‐right turn lane.
· Southbound Approach: One shared left‐through‐right turn lane.
· Eastbound Approach: One shared left‐through‐right turn lane.
· Westbound Approach: One shared left‐through‐right turn lane.
Wherever necessary, roadways adjacent to the Project, site access points, and site‐adjacent intersections
will be constructed to be consistent with the identified roadway classifications and respective cross‐
sections in the City of Menifee General Plan Circulation Element.
Signal Warrant Analysis
Future unsignalized intersections have been assessed regarding the potential need for new traffic signals
based on future average daily traffic (ADT) volumes, using the Caltrans planning level ADT‐based signal
warrant analysis worksheets. Traffic signal warrant analyses were performed for the following unsignalized
study area intersections:
· Valley Bl. / Chambers Av.
· Valley Bl. / Connie Wy.
· Murrieta Rd. / Chambers Av.
No study area intersections are anticipated to warrant a traffic signal for Existing Conditions, Existing Plus
Project Conditions, EAP (2020) Conditions, Opening Year Cumulative (2020) Without Project Conditions,
or Opening Year Cumulative (2020) With Project Conditions.
A signal warrant defines the minimum condition under which the installation of a traffic signal might be
warranted. Meeting this condition does not require that a traffic control signal be installed at a particular
location, but rather, that other traffic factors and conditions be evaluated in order to determine whether the
signal is truly justified. It should also be noted that signal warrants do not necessarily correlate with LOS.
An intersection may satisfy a signal warrant condition and operate at or above acceptable LOS or operate
below acceptable LOS and not meet a signal warrant.
The intersection of Murrieta Road and Chambers Avenue is not anticipated to warrant a traffic signal under
either Opening Year Cumulative (2020) Without and With Project traffic conditions. However, there are no
additional geometric improvements that would accommodate acceptable peak hour operations at this

location. The intersection should be monitored and a traffic signal shall be installed at the City Traffic
Engineer’s discretion.
Transit Service
The study area is currently served by the Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) with bus services along
Chambers Avenue via Route 74, McCall Boulevard via Route 61 and Murrieta Road via Route 74 and
Route 61 approximately 0.45-mile east and southeast from the project site. Future transit services are
anticipated along McCall Boulevard and Menifee Road near the vicinity of the project site. Transit service
is reviewed and updated by RTA periodically to address ridership, budget and community demand needs.
Changes in land use can affect these periodic adjustments which may lead to either enhanced or reduced
service where appropriate. As such, it is recommended that the Project Applicant work in conjunction with
RTA to potentially provide bus service to the site.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities
On‐street Class II bike lanes are proposed along Valley Boulevard, Chambers Avenue, Murrieta Road and
McCall Boulevard in the vicinity of the project. Additionally, the project site vicinity provides full pedestrian
facilities along Valley Boulevard, Chambers Avenue, Connie Way, McCall Boulevard, and Murrieta Road.
Pedestrian infrastructure is fully provided connecting to the existing transit service stops located
approximately 0.45-mile from the project site.
With implementation of Mitigation Measures TRF- 1, and the COAs, the project would be consistent with
all applicable traffic thresholds and therefore, the project would not conflict with an applicable plan,
ordinance, or policy establishing measures of effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system.
The project’s traffic impacts would be less than significant with mitigation.
Impacts XVII.b) Less Than Significant Impact. CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3 provides that for land
use projects, impacts related to vehicle miles traveled (VMT) exceeding an applicable threshold of
significance may indicate a significant impact. The City of Menifee has not adopted a VMT threshold.
Generally, projects within one-half mile of either an existing major transit stop or a stop along an existing
high-quality transit corridor are presumed to cause a less than significant transportation impact. Projects
that decrease vehicle miles traveled in the project area compared to existing conditions are presumed to
have a less than significant transportation impact. While the City has not yet adopted an VMT threshold,
the project can also be qualitatively analyzed to understand factors such as the availability of transit,
proximity to other destination, etc.
Consistent with CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3, subdivision (b), the project site is within a half-mile of
existing transit stops. The following two transit stops are located in the vicinity of the project site: a transit
stop is located at the intersection of Murrieta Road and Chambers Avenue and Murrieta Road and McCall
Boulevard located approximately 0.45-mile east and southeast from the project site.
Moreover, the proposed project is anticipated to provide appropriate pedestrian facilities including
sidewalks along and within project frontage. Because the project site is located within half-mile of transit
stops, it is not anticipated that the project would conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines section
15064.3, subdivision (b); a less than significant impact would occur.
Impact XVII.c) Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project does not include the use of any
incompatible vehicles or equipment on-site, such as farm equipment. The design features of the proposed
project would create new roadways and/or intersections. The proposed roadways, intersection modification
and off-site improvements are noted in Impact XVII.a. The anticipated on-site and off-site roadway
improvements would be compatible with the surrounding residential uses. All on‐site and site‐adjacent

improvements would be constructed as approved by the City of Menifee Public Works Department. Sight
distance at project access points would comply with applicable City of Menifee sight distance standards.
Therefore, no impact would occur in this regard and no mitigation is required.
Impact XVII.d) Less Than Significant Impact. Vehicular access to the site will be provided via one (1)
access points on Valley Boulevard and Chambers Avenue, one (1) access point on Valley Boulevard and
Connie Way. Pedestrian access is proposed via perimeter and internal sidewalks. The RCFD reviews the
project for access requirements concerning minimum roadway width, fire apparatus access roads, fire
lanes, signage, access devices and gates, and access walkways, among other requirements, which would
enhance emergency access to the project site. Following compliance with RCFD access requirements,
adequate emergency access to the project site would be provided. Project impacts concerning emergency
access would be less than significant and no mitigation is required.

in Appendix C.
Applicable General Plan Policies:
Goal OSC-5: Archaeological, historical, and cultural resources that are protected and integrated into
the City's built environment.
Policy OSC-5.1: Preserve and protect significant archeological, historic, and cultural sites, places,
districts, structures, landforms, objects and native burial sites, and other features, such as Ringing Rock
and Grandmother Oak, consistent with state law.
Policy OSC-5.2: Work with local schools, organizations, the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians,
Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians, and other agencies to educate the public about the rich archeological,
historic, and cultural resources found in the City.
Policy OSC-5.3: Preserve sacred sites identified by the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians and Soboba
Band of Luiseno Indians, such as tribal burial grounds, by avoiding activities that would negatively
impact the sites.
Policy OSC-5.4: Enhance local interest, pride, and sense of place for City residents by making locally
recovered artifacts more easily accessible to students, researchers, and the interested public.
Policy OSC-5.5: Establish clear and responsible practices to identify, evaluate, and protect previously
unknown archeological, historic, and cultural sites, following CEQA and NEPA procedure.
Policy OSC-5.6: Maintain active communication and coordination with the Pechanga Band of Luiseño
Indians and Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians.
Analysis of Project Effect and Determination of Significance:
Impact XVIII.a-b) Less Than Significant Impact. Assembly Bill (AB) 52 specifies that a project that may
cause a substantial adverse change to a defined Tribal Cultural Resource (TCR) may result in a significant
effect on the environment. AB 52 requires tribes interested in development projects within a traditionally
and culturally affiliated geographic area to notify a lead agency of such interest and to request notification

of future projects subject to CEQA prior to determining if a negative declaration, mitigated negative
declaration, or environmental impact report is required for a project. The lead agency is then required to
notify the tribe within 14 days of deeming a development application subject to CEQA complete to notify
the requesting tribe as an invitation to consult on the project. AB 52 identifies examples of mitigation
measures that will avoid or minimize impacts to a TCR. The bill makes the above provisions applicable to
projects that have a notice of preparation or a notice of intent to adopt a negative declaration/mitigated
negative declaration circulated on or after July 1, 2015. AB 52 amends Sections 5097.94 and adds Sections
21073, 21074, 2108.3.1., 21080.3.2, 21082.3, 21083.09, 21084.2, and 21084.3 to the California Public
Resources Code (PRC), relating to Native Americans.
Based on the City’s prior experience with and written request from potentially interested Tribes, AB 52
Notices were sent to the following four (4) Tribes October 21, 2015:
· Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians;
· Pechanga Band of Luiseño Mission Indians;
· Rincon Band of Luiseño Indians; and
· Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians.
Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians responded to the City via letter dated October 22, 2015 and requested
consultation. The Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians responded to the City via letter dated November 19,
2015. City staff consulted with the Soboba and Pechanga Bands of Luiseño Indians and they provided
standard conditions (SC-CUL-1 through SC-CUL-8) that have been added to this document.
Based on consultation with local tribes, Standard Conditions SC-CUL-1 through SC-CUL-8 would ensure
that any impacts to potential tribal cultural resources would be less than significant.
Mitigation Measures:
Overall, the project would not cause a substantial adverse change to a historical or cultural resource and
a less than significant impact would occur in this regard with implementation of SC-CUL-1 through
SC-CUL-8 as identified in Section V, above.

Goal OSC-7: A reliable and safe water supply that effectively meets current and future user
demands.
Policy OSC-7.2: Encourage water conservation as a means of preserving water resources.
Policy OSC-7.4: Encourage the use of reclaimed water for the irrigation of parks, golf courses,
public landscaped areas, and other feasible applications as service becomes available from the
Eastern Municipal Water District.
Policy OSC-7.5: Utilize a wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal system that adequately
serves the existing and long-term needs of the community.
Policy OSC-7.7: Maintain and improve existing level of sewer service by improving infrastructure
and repairing existing deficiencies.
Analysis of Project Effect and Determination of Significance:
Impact XIX.a) Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project could affect Regional Water Quality
Control Board (RWQCB) treatment standards by increasing wastewater production such that expansion of
existing facilities or construction of new facilities would be required. Exceeding the RWQCB treatment
standards could result in contamination of surface or groundwater with pollutants such as pathogens and
nitrates. New development in the City is required to install wastewater infrastructure concurrent with project
development. Wastewater service within the City of Menifee is provided by Eastern Municipal Water District
(EMWD).
Open drainage channels and underground storm drains larger than 36 inches diameter are operated and
maintained by the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (RCFCWCD); smaller
underground storm drains are operated and maintained by the City of Menifee Public Works Department.
EMWD provides wastewater treatment to the City of Menifee. Wastewater from most of Menifee – except
the City’s north and south ends – is collected at the Sun City Regional Wastewater Reclamation Facility

(RWRF) and sent to the Perris Valley RWRF for treatment. EMWD owns and operates a network of sewer
mains serving Menifee, ranging in diameter from under 10 inches in residential streets to 54 inches.
All wastewater generated by the proposed project’s interior plumbing system would be discharged into the
local sewer system and conveyed for treatment at the Perris Valley RWRF. Wastewater flows would consist
of typical residential wastewater discharges and would not require new methods or equipment for treatment
that are not currently permitted for the facility. The Perris Valley RWRF has a capacity of treating 22 million
gallons per day (mgd).
Wastewater flows associated with the proposed single-family residences would include the same kinds of
substances typically generated by residential uses and no modifications to any existing wastewater
treatment systems or construction of any new ones would be needed to treat the project’s wastewater. As
concluded in Response XIII.a), the project’s forecast population growth is approximately 203 persons.
EMWD anticipates that recycled water supplies will steadily grow from 43,000 acre-feet/year in 2015 to
55,300 acre-feet/year in 2035.22
The net increase in wastewater generation resulting from General Plan buildout is estimated as 100 percent
of indoor residential water use plus 80 percent of commercial, industrial, and institutional (CII) water use;
the remaining 20 percent of CII water use is assumed to be landscape irrigation and to not enter sanitary
sewers. The water demand factors used are EMWD 2020 target factors. Water use is forecast as gallons
per capita per day. The net population increase due to General Plan buildout compared to the 2010 Census
count is 81,423. The estimated net increase in wastewater generation is about 5.6 mgd, as shown in Table
5.17-2 of the General Plan Draft EIR. The net increase in wastewater generation would be within that used
by EMWD in planning ongoing and future RWRF expansions.
Wastewater generated by the proposed project would be within the Perris Valley RWRF’s treatment
capacity and would thus have a less than significant impact on the Perris Valley RWRF’s ability to operate
within its established wastewater treatment requirements, which are enforced via the facility’s NPDES
permit authorized by the Santa Ana RWQCB. Therefore, the project would have a less than significant
impact related to SARWQCB’s wastewater treatment requirements.
Connections to local water and sewer mains would involve temporary and less than significant construction
impacts that would occur in conjunction with other on-site improvements. No additional improvements are
needed to either sewer lines or treatment facilities to serve the proposed project. Standard connection fees
would address any incremental project impacts. Therefore, the project would result in a less than significant
impact as a result of new or expanded wastewater treatment facilities.
As discussed in Response IX.a), the proposed project would not generate any increased runoff from the
site that would require construction of new storm drainage facilities. All drainage would be directed to the
three onsite water quality basins proposed along the site. A NPDES permit would be required for the
proposed project, and pursuant to MMC §15.01.015, all construction projects shall apply (BMPs) to be
contained in the project applicant’s submitted SWPPP. The proposed project would also be required to
submit a WQMP in identifying post-construction BMPs that include drainage controls such as infiltration
pits, detention ponds, bioswales, berms, rain gardens, and pervious pavement. Impacts would be less than
significant, following compliance with the existing regulatory framework and implementation of BMPs.
Utilities, including electrical, natural gas, and communications are required to be located underground in
rights-of-way. The undergrounding of these utilities would not create or result in significant environmental
effects.
Impact XIX.b) Less Than Significant Impact. The EMWD provides water service to the City of Menifee.
EMWD has three sources of water supply: imported water from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern

California (MWD), local groundwater, and recycled water. Approximately 75 percent of EMWD’s potable
water demand is supplied by imported water from MWD through its Colorado River Aqueduct and
connections to the State Water Project. EMWD forecasts that it would provide water for future growth in its
service area through imported water from MWD. EMWD procures water from MWD that has been treated
at MWD’s Skinner Filtration Plant in Winchester and Mills Filtration Plant in Riverside. In 2010 EMWD
obtained 75,000 acre-feet (af) of MWD water treated at MWD filtration plants before delivery, and 16,600
af of raw MWD water treated at EMWD water filtration plants. EMWD has two water filtration plants, one in
Hemet and one in San Jacinto, with total existing capacity of 32 million gpd or approximately 35,840 acre-
feet per year (afy). Approximately 25 percent of EMWD’s potable water demand is supplied by EMWD
groundwater wells in the San Jacinto Groundwater Basin. EMWD’s estimated production of potable
groundwater in 2010 was 18,800 af. EMWD’s production of desalinated groundwater in 2010 was 5,800
af. EMWD’s recycled water production in 2010 was 41,500 af. EMWD’s territory is divided into four
subareas. The City of Menifee is in two service areas: the City is mainly in Sub-Area 41, but the southeast
corner is in Sub-Area 43. Potable water sources for Sub-Area 41 are 1) Imported MWD water treated at
MWD’s Mills Filtration Plant in the City of Riverside, 2) Imported MWD water treated at EMWD’s Perris
Water Filtration Plant, 3) Local potable groundwater, and 4) Local groundwater treated at EMWD’s Menifee
Desalter.
The EMWD would supply water to the project site. EMWD’s 2015 UWMP Tables 7-4 through 7-9 indicate
water supplies would meet water demands for normal, single-dry, and multiple dry-year conditions through
2040. According to the MGP EIR, the projected net increase in water demands by General Plan buildout –
approximately 15 mgd, or 16,800 afy - is within EMWD forecasts of increases in its water supplies over the
2015-2035 period. EMWD forecasts that its total water supplies would increase by 88,300 afy over that
period. UWMP water demand forecasts are based on adopted General Plans. The project would not
change the site’s land use designation and is consistent with the assumptions of the General Plan buildout,
thus, would not increase water demands associated with the project site beyond what the UWMP
assumed/planned. Thus, EMWD would have adequate water supplies from existing entitlements. Project
impacts concerning water demand would be less than significant and no mitigation is required. Further,
EMWD provides conservation programs along with incentives to conserve water in the City. Although the
EMWD service area population is expected to increase, the overall baseline potable demand in acre-feet
per year (AFY) is expected to decrease due to further water use efficiency and recycled water programs.
According to the MGP EIR, the projected net increase in water demands by General Plan buildout –
approximately 15.0 mgd, or 16,800 acre-feet per year - is within EMWD forecasts of increases in its water
supplies over the 2015-2035 period. EMWD forecasts that its total water supplies would increase by 88,300
acre-feet per year over that period. As part of the UWMP, EMWD was required to update its baseline and
target per capita water use numbers in compliance with SBx7-7. The overall goal of SBx7-7 is to reach a
20 percent statewide reduction of per capita urban water use by 2020. EMWD established a 10-year
baseline period from 1999 to 2008 with a baseline water usage of 197 gallons per capita per day (GPCD).
The 2020 target was calculated using DWR’s Method 2, which uses an efficiency standard with targets for
indoor use, landscape use, and commercial, industrial and institutional use and an optional target for
agricultural use. EMWD’s 2020 target was set at 176 GPCD.23 Based on the target GPCD and the project’s
added population of approximately 203 persons, it is anticipated that the project would have an estimated
water demand of 35,728 GPCD.
There are adequate forecast water supplies in the region for the proposed project, and no additional water
supplies would be needed. Less than significant impacts would occur in this regard.
Impact XIX.c) Less Than Significant Impact. Concerning wastewater facilities, as discussed in the
preceding response, wastewater generated at the project site would be treated at the Perris Valley RWRF.
The proposed project is estimated to have a wastewater generation of approximately 3,481 gpd. This

generation is well within the existing remaining Perris Valley RWRF’s treatment capacity. Impacts would
be less than significant.
Impact XIX.d-e) Less Than Significant Impact. Significant impacts could occur if the proposed project
would exceed the existing permitted landfill capacity or violate federal, state, and local statutes and
regulations. Solid waste from Menifee is collected by Waste Management, Inc. (WMI).
The proposed project’s additional solid waste stream would have a less than significant impact on regional
landfill capacity. The City of Menifee utilizes three landfills: Badlands Sanitary Landfill, El Sobrante Landfill,
and Lamb Canyon Sanitary Landfill. Badlands Sanitary Landfill has a maximum daily capacity of 4,800
tons per day and a maximum capacity of 34,400,000 cubic yards. The remaining capacity is 15,748,799
cubic yards and it is scheduled to cease operation in January 2022. 24 El Sobrante Sanitary Landfill has a
maximum daily capacity of 16,054 tons per day and a maximum capacity of 209,910,000 tons. The
remaining capacity is 143,977,170 tons and it is scheduled to cease operation in January 2051.25 Lamb
Canyon Landfill has a maximum daily capacity of 5,000 tons per day and a maximum capacity of
38,935,653 cubic yards. The remaining capacity is 19,242,950 cubic yards and it is scheduled to cease
operation in April 2029.26
Based on CalRecyle solid waste generation data, the proposed project would generate approximately 108
tons of solid waste per year. There is adequate landfill capacity in the region to accommodate project-
generated waste. Considering the availability of landfill capacity and the project’s relatively nominal amount
of solid waste generation, project solid waste disposal needs can be adequately met without a significant
impact on the nearest and optional, more distant, landfill capacities. Therefore, it is not expected that the
proposed project would impact the City’s compliance with state-mandated (AB 939) waste diversion
requirements. Impacts would be less than significant.
Mitigation Measures: No mitigation is required.

MGP Draft EIR; California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) Website - Riverside
County City Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps.
Applicable General Plan Policies:
Goal S-4: A community that has effective fire mitigation and response measures in place, and as a
result is minimally impacted by wildland and structure fires.
Policy S4.4: Review development proposals for impacts to fire facilities and compatibility with fire areas
or mitigate.
Policy S-5.2: Ensure that the fire department can continue to respond safely and effectively to a
hazardous materials incident in the City, whether it is a spill at a permitted facility, or the result of an
accident along a section of the freeway or railroads that extend across the City.
Policy S-5.5: Require facilities that handle hazardous materials to implement mitigation measures that
reduce the risks associated with hazardous material production, storage, and disposal.
Goal S-6: A City that responds and recovers in an effective and timely manner from natural disasters
such as flooding, fire, and earthquakes, and as a result is not impacted by civil unrest that may occur
following a natural disaster.
Policy S-6.1: Continuously review, update, and implement emergency preparedness, response, and
recovery plans that make the best use of the City- and county-specific emergency management
resources available.
Analysis of Project Effect and Determination of Significance:
Impacts XX.a – XX b) Less Than Significant Impact. See Response IX.g
Impact XX.c) Less Than Significant Impact. The project includes standard infrastructure, including
roadways, utilities, and fire suppression systems. All of this infrastructure is designed to reduce the risk of
fire. Following compliance with the established local and state regulatory framework discussed above, the
project would not expose people or structures to a significant risk involving wildland fires and impacts would
be less than significant in this regard.
Impact XX.d) Less Than Significant Impact. Refer to Impact VII.a.ii-iv, and VII.c-d. Although the site
elevation ranges from a low of 1,484± feet above mean sea level (msl) in the northern portion of the project
site to a high of 1,560± feet above msl in the southwestern portion of the site, after grading, the project site
would be a flat area. As shown on the Landslides Map, Exhibit S-3, the project is not located in a landslide
prone zone or in an unstable soil area. As such, the potential for slope failure and landslides in the event
of a fire would be negligible. Following site grading, major slopes and retaining walls are not expected. As
such, risks associated with slope instability are considered "low." Therefore, impacts would be less than
significant in this regard.

Significant
Impact
Less Than
Significant
with
Mitigation
Incorporated
Less Than
Significant
Impact
No
Impact
a) Does the project have the potential to substantially
degrade the quality of the environment, substantially
reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a
fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining
levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal
community, substantially reduce the number or restrict
the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or
eliminate important examples of the major periods of
California history or prehistory?
Findings of Fact: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated. As discussed throughout the
analyses contained in this Initial Study, the project does not have the potential to degrade the quality of the
environment or result in significant impacts to the environment that cannot be reduced to less than
significant following compliance with the established regulatory framework (i.e., local, state, and federal
regulations), project conditions of approval, and the recommended mitigation measures.
As concluded in Section IV, the project would not reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a
fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal
community, or reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal following
compliance with the recommended mitigation measures. As concluded in Section V, the project would not
eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory.
The City hereby finds that impacts concerning degradation of the environment and biological and cultural
resources would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated.
b) Does the project have impacts that are individually
limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively
considerable" means that the incremental effects of a
project are considerable when viewed in connection
with the effects of past projects, the effects of other
current projects, and the effects of probable future
projects)?
Findings of Fact: Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. The proposed project
would result in significant impacts unless mitigated for the following environmental issues: biological
resources, cultural resources, geology/soils, noise, and transportation. A Mitigation Program has been
prepared for each of these environmental issue areas to reduce impacts to less than significant. City
conditions of approval would also be imposed upon the project. Other development projects within the City
would also be subject to these requirements, as appropriate.
All other project impacts were determined either to have no impact or to be less than significant following
compliance with the established regulatory framework, without the need for mitigation. Cumulatively, the
proposed project would not result in any significant impacts that would substantially combine with impacts
of other current or probable future impacts. Therefore, the proposed project, in conjunction with other future
projects, would not result in any cumulatively considerable impacts and no mitigation is required.

Therefore, the City hereby finds that the project’s contribution to cumulative impacts would be less than
significant with mitigation incorporated.
c) Does the project have environmental effects which
will cause substantial adverse effects on human
beings, either directly or indirectly?
Findings of Fact: Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. Based on the analysis
of the project’s impacts in the responses to items I thru XVII above, there is no indication that the project
would result in substantial adverse effects on human beings. While there would be a variety of temporary
adverse construction-related effects (e.g., air quality and noise), these would be less than significant or
would be reduced to less than significant levels through mitigation. Long-term effects include increased
vehicular traffic and traffic-related noise. The analysis herein concludes that direct and indirect
environmental effects would at worst require mitigation to reduce impacts to less than significant.
Generally, the project’s environmental effects would be less than significant. Based on the analysis in this
Initial Study, the City finds that direct and indirect impacts to human beings would be less than significant
with mitigation incorporated.
XVIII. EARLIER ANALYSES
Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an
effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration as per California Code of

BIO-1: Burrowing Owl. Pursuant to Objective 6 and Objective
7 of the Species Account for the Burrowing Owl
included in the Western Riverside County Multiple
Species Habitat Conservation Plan, within 30 days
prior to the issuance of a grading permit, a pre-
construction presence/absence survey for the
burrowing owl shall be conducted by a qualified
biologist and the results of this presence/absence
survey shall be provided in writing to the City of
Menifee Community Development Department. As
long as there are fewer than 3 pairs of burrowing owls
on or adjacent to the Site, passive or active relocation
of the burrowing owls will occur prior to ground-
disturbing activities onsite and follow standard
protocols. If 3 or more pairs of burrowing owls are
detected on or adjacent to the Site, the City and
County will be contacted immediately to discuss
appropriate actions. If construction must occur during
the avian breeding season, pre-construction surveys
shall be performed by a qualified biologist within 10
calendar days prior to the start of work to determine
the presence or absence of nesting birds within 300
feet (500 feet for special-status species and raptors)
of the impact area. If nesting birds are detected, the
City, County, and Wildlife Agencies shall be contacted

to discuss the potential impact minimization
measures to be implemented.
If construction and/or disturbance of the site is
suspended for a period of days (30) days or more, a
new survey shall be required.
If the 30-day pre-construction burrowing owl survey
finds burrowing owls on the site, the project biologist
shall notify CDFW and USFWS within two business
days of discovering the occupied burrows, and shall
subsequently prepare a Burrowing Owl Protection
and Relocation Plan for review and approval by the
California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW),
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and the
Regional Conservation Authority (RCA) prior to
initiating any ground-disturbing activities (including
disking and mowing, among others).
BIO-2: Raptors and Nesting Birds. To avoid
impacting raptors, one of the following must be
implemented:
Conduct grading activities from July 1 through
January 31st, when raptors are not likely to be nesting
on the site; OR
Seven days prior to the onset of construction activities
during the raptor nesting season (February 1 to June
30), a qualified biologist shall survey within 500 feet
of the project impact area for the presence of any
active raptor nests (common or special status). Any
nest found during survey efforts shall be mapped on
the construction plans. If no active nests are found,

no further mitigation would be required. Results of the
surveys shall be provided to the CDFW. If nesting
activity is present at any raptor nest site, the active
site shall be protected until nesting activity has ended
to ensure compliance with Section 3503.5 of the
California Fish and Game Code. To protect any nest
site, the following restrictions to construction activities
are required until nests are no longer active as
determined by a qualified biologist: (1) clearing limits
shall be established within a 500-foot buffer around
any occupied nest, unless otherwise determined by a
qualified biologist, and (2) access and surveying shall
be restricted within 300 feet of any occupied nest,
unless otherwise determined by a qualified biologist.
Any encroachment into the buffer area around the
known nest shall only be allowed if the biologist
determines that the proposed activity will not disturb
the nest occupants. Construction can proceed when
the qualified biologist has determined that fledglings
have left the nest. If an active nest is observed during
the non-nesting season, the nest site shall be
monitored by a qualified biologist, and when the
raptor is away from the nest, the biologist will flush
any raptor to open space areas. A qualified biologist,
or construction personnel under the direction of the
qualified biologist, shall then remove the nest site so
raptors cannot return to a nest.
If construction is to occur during the MBTA nesting
cycle (February 15-September 15) than a nesting bird
survey should be conducted by a qualified biologist.
Disturbance that causes nest abandonment and/or
loss of reproductive effort (e.g., killing or
abandonment of eggs or young) may be considered
take and is potentially punishable by fines or

utilizing a hand-held global positioning system (GPS)
and a 300’ buffer will be flagged around the nest (500’
buffer for raptor nests). Construction should not be
permitted within the buffer areas while the nest
continues to be active (eggs, chicks, etc.).
BIO-3: In Lieu Payment. Applicant shall pay a one-time fee for
2.19 acres for riparian and riverine habitats in-lieu fee
program off-site reestablishment through Riverpark
Mitigation Bank, or any other approved in-lieu fee
program at time of rough grading permit issuance will
be acquired for mitigation of the impacts at a minimum
ratio of 2:1 or greater if required by another agency. If
reestablishment credits are not available then 3.0
acres for riparian and riverine habitats in-lieu fee
program off-site enhancement credits through
Riverpark Mitigation Bank, or any other approved in-
lieu fee program at time of rough grading permit
issuance will be acquired for mitigation of the impacts
if required by another agency. Notification to
California Department of Fish and Wildlife, California
Regional Water Quality Control Board, and U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers is required regarding which type
of in-lieu fee credits (reestablishment or
enhancement) are being utilized. Mitigation for the
impacts will be at a minimum 3:1 ratio for riverine or
whatever is required1 by California Department of
Fish and Wildlife, California Regional Water Quality
Control Board, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Should sufficient in-lieu fee credits not be available for
purchase at the time the project is implemented, or
should other agencies not approve in-lieu fee credit
purchase, then the Developer must prepare and
submit for review and approval a Habitat Mitigation and
Monitoring Plan (HMMP) for a site-specific restoration
project at a minimum 3:1 mitigation to impact ratio. The

RESOLUTION NO. PC20-___
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MENIFEE, CALIFORNIA APPROVING TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 2015-
211 (TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 36911) LOCATED WEST OF
VALLEY BOULEVARD, NORTH AND SOUTH OF CHAMBERS ROAD.
WHEREAS, on August 24, 2015, the applicant, Tracy Marx of Recreational Land
Investments, filed a formal application with the City of Menifee for the approval of
Tentative Tract Map No. 2015-211 for 26.95 gross acres into 68 single-family residential
lots with a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet, three (3) BMP basins located west of
Valley Boulevard, north and south of Chambers Avenue; and,
WHEREAS, on July 22, 2020, the City of Menifee Planning Commission, held a
Public Hearing on the Project, considered all public testimony as well as materials in the
staff report and accompanying documents for Tentative Tract Map No. 36911 (Planning
Application No. 2015-211), which hearing was publicly noticed by a publication in The
Press Enterprise (a newspaper of general circulation), an agenda posting, and notice to
property owners within 300 feet of the Project boundaries, and to persons requesting
public notice; and,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the
City of Menifee makes the following Findings:
Section 1: Consistency with the Development Code, General Plan, any applicable
specific plan, and the Menifee Municipal Code. The proposed subdivision
and the design and improvement of the subdivision is consistent with the
zoning designation map, the General Plan objectives, policies and
programs, and applicable development standards:
The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan land use
designation. The General Plan land use designation of the project site is
2.1-5 Residential (2.1-5 Residential). The 2.1-5R General Plan land use
designation is intended for single-family detached and attached
residences with a density range of two (2) to five (5) dwelling units per
acre. The project proposes a 68-lot single-family (detached) residential
subdivision with a density of 2.5 dwelling units per acre. Therefore, the
project is consistent with the 2.1-5R General Plan designation.
The current zoning designation of the project site is Low Density
Residential (LDR-2). The LDR-2 designation is intended for single-family
detached and attached residences with a minimum lot size of seven
thousand and two-hundred (7,200) square feet. All lots will be a minimum
of 7,200 square feet. Therefore, the project is consistent with both the

of the subject site. The project site zoning classification is compatible with
surrounding residential uses. The project is consistent with the Zoning
Code and all development standards.
In addition the project is consistent with the following City of Menifee
General Plan Policies:
LU-1.1 Concentrate growth in strategic locations to help preserve
rural areas, create place and identity, provide infrastructure
efficiently, and foster the use of transit options.
The proposed project is located within an area that is zoned for
residential uses, with existing single-family residential homes to the
east and the approved Cimarron Ridge residential Specific Plan
immediately to the north and west. The project is therefore,
consistent with this policy as it lends to the concentration of growth
in strategic locations helping to preserve rural areas within the City.
Policy LU-1.5: Support development and land use patterns, where
appropriate, that reduce reliance on the automobile and capitalize on
multimodal transportation opportunities.
Proposed offsite improvements to the tentative tract map include a
multi-use trail along Valley Boulevard, as well as a Class II bicycle
lane along the project frontage thus the project is consistent with this
goal.
Policy C-1.1 Require roadways to: Comply with federal, state and
local design and safety standards.
The Tentative Tract Map proposes improvements for roadways,
including but not limited to, Valley Boulevard, Chambers Avenue and
Connie Way which are consistent with the City’s General Plan and the
City’s Public Works and Engineering Department Standard Details.
Policy C-2.2 Provide off-street multipurpose trails and on-street bike
lanes as our primary paths of citywide travel and explore the shared
use of low speed roadways for connectivity wherever it is safe to do
so.
The Tentative Tract Map will provide a multipurpose trail and Class II
Bike Land along Valley Boulevard consistent with this policy,
CD-3.17 Encourage the use of creative landscape design to create
visual interest and reduce conflicts between different land uses.
The project includes a large landscape area along its Valley
Boulevard frontage, decorate signage and corner treatments at

project entrances and will install a landscaped median in Valley
Boulevard, creating visual interest in the immediate area.
CD-6.1 Recognize the importance of street trees in the aesthetic
appeal of residential neighborhoods and require the planting of street
trees throughout the City.
The project will include street trees along all street frontages and will
also install and landscaped median in Valley Boulevard.
Policy OSC-2.1 Develop recreational trails for hiking biking, and
equestrian use throughout the city, making them, to the extent
feasible, accessible to people of different neighborhoods, ages, and
abilities.
A multi-use community trail is being provided along Valley Boulevard
that will connect to future trails required of the Cimarron Ridge
Specific Plan.
Consistency with Housing Element.
The Project site is identified in the City’s Housing Element as a Housing
Opportunity Site for residential with a density range of 2.1-5 dwelling units
per acre. This density is anticipated to provide housing capable of
supporting moderate and above-moderate income housing. The proposed
project has a density of 2.5 dwelling units per acre and falls within the 2.1-5
density range identified in the Housing Element. The project is therefore
consistent with the Housing Element.
Consistency with Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan
(MSHCP)
The City of Menifee has two (2) active conservation plans within the City’s
boundary, the Western Riverside County MSHCP, and the Stephens’
Kangaroo Rat Habitat Conservation Plan (SKR-HCP). The subject site is
within the jurisdiction of the SKR-HCP and the Western Riverside County
MSHCP. The project site is located inside the Stephen’s Kangaroo Rat
(Dipodomys stephensi) (SKR) Fee Area. The proposed project is located
within the boundaries of the Western Riverside County Multiple Species
Habitat Conservation Plan; however, the project is not located with a
Criteria Cell or Cell Group. The project will be subject to the payment of
fees for a residential project consistent with Riverside County Ordinance
No. 810.2 as adopted by the City of Menifee. Therefore, the project will not
conflict with the provisions of the adopted HCP, Natural Conservation
Community Plan, or other approved local, regional, or State conservation
plan and the impact is considered less than significant.

For these reasons, the Project is consistent with the City’s General Plan
Land Use Map and General Plan objectives, policies, and programs.
Section 2: The tentative map does not propose to divide land which is subject to a
contract entered into pursuant to the California Conservation Act of 1965,
or the land is subject to a Land Conservation Act contract but the
resulting parcels following division of the land will be of an adequate size
to sustain their agricultural use:
The proposed project site is not under a contract under the Williamson
Act.
Section 3: The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of
development proposed by the tentative map:
The proposed project is for a tentative tract map; the subject site is
relatively flat and does not contain steep slopes, water courses or other
features that would be incompatible with the proposed development. The
site is bounded by residential developments to the east and vacant land
designated and zoned for residential purposes to the north, south, and
west. The surrounding area is also relatively flat. Therefore, the site is
considered physically suitable for the type of development and the
proposed land use of the site.
Section 4: The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements, with
conditions of approval, are either:
1. Nor likely to cause significant environmental damage or
substantially and avoidable injure fish or wildlife of their
habitat; or
2. Subject to an environmental impact report under which a
finding has been made pursuant to Public Resources Code
Section 21081(a)(3) that specific economic, social, or other
considerations make infeasible mitigation measures or project
alternatives identified in the environmental impact report.
An Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) was prepared for the
project. In the IS/MND, it was found that with implementation of mitigation
measures, the proposed project would not result in any significant
impacts. A Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan (MMRP) was
prepared and identifies all mitigation measures that will be required for
the project.
Section 5: The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements are not likely
to cause serious public health problems.
The Project will not result in conditions detrimental to the public health,
safety, or general welfare as designed and conditioned. The project site is
surrounded by vacant and fallow grounds to the north, south and west

with single-family residences to the east.
The Project has been reviewed and conditioned by the City of Menifee
Planning, Engineering, Police, and Fire Departments to ensure that it will
not create conditions materially detrimental to the surrounding uses. In
addition, environmental impacts resulting from the Project have been
analyzed in an Initial Study/ Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND).
The IS/MND determined that potential impacts, would all be less than
significant with the necessary mitigation incorporated. Therefore, the
proposed subdivision is not anticipated to create conditions materially
detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare or injurious to
or incompatible with other properties or land uses in the project vicinity.
Section 6: The design of the subdivision provides for future passive or natural
heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision to the extent feasible.
The project will be designed with passive or natural heating opportunities
such as drought tolerant landscaping on-site, and solar amenities. The
project will be consistent with the development code and the
requirements of California Code of Regulations of Title 24. No plot plan is
yet available for this project.
Section 7: The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements will not
conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through
or use of property within the proposed subdivision, or the design of the
alternate easements which are substantially equivalent to those
previously acquired by the public will be provided.
The subdivision makes provisions for all existing and future easements for
all utilities and public use purposes.
Section 8: The subdivision is consistent with the City’s parkland dedication
requirements (per the Quimby Act) as applicable, in accordance with
Chapter 7.75 (Parkland Dedication and fees).
The proposed subdivision will fulfill Quimby obligations though the
payment of fees as determined by the Community Services Department.
Fees are required for consistency with the Quimby Act.
Section 9: The design and location of each lot in the subdivision, and the subdivision
as a whole, are consistent with any applicable regulations adopted by the
State Board of Forestry and Fire Protection pursuant to Sections 4290
and 4291 of the Public Resources Code.
The southwest portion of the site is located within a State Responsbility
Area (SRA) and in a High Fire Severity Zone. The project has been
conditioned to meet all applicable regulations adopted by the State Board
of Forestry and Fire Protection pursuant to Sections 4290 and 4291 of the
Public Resources Code.

ARCHEOLOGY/PALEONTOLOGY
18. Human Remains. If human remains are encountered, State Health and
Safety Code Section 7050.5 states that no further disturbance shall occur until
the Riverside County Coroner has made the necessary findings as to origin.
Further, pursuant to Public Resource Code Section 5097.98(b) remains shall
be left in place and free from disturbance until a final decision as to the
treatment and disposition has been made. If the Riverside County Coroner
determines the remains to be Native American, the Native American Heritage
Commission shall be contacted within the period specified by law (24 hours).
Subsequently, the Native American Heritage Commission shall identify the
"most likely descendant." The most likely descendant shall then make
recommendations and engage in consultation concerning the treatment of the
remains as provided in Public Resources Code Section 5097.98.
19. Inadvertent Archeological Find. If during ground disturbance activities,
unique cultural resources are discovered that were not assessed by the
archaeological report(s) and/or environmental assessment conducted prior to
project approval, the following procedures shall be followed. Unique cultural
resources are defined, for this condition only, as being multiple artifacts in
close association with each other, but may include fewer artifacts if the area of
the find is determined to be of significance due to its sacred or cultural
importance as determined in consultation with the Native American Tribe(s).
i. All ground disturbance activities within 100 feet of the discovered cultural
resources shall be halted until a meeting is convened between the
developer, the archaeologist, the tribal representative(s) and the
Community Development Director to discuss the significance of the find.
ii. At the meeting, the significance of the discoveries shall be discussed and
after consultation with the tribal representative(s) and the archaeologist, a
decision shall be made, with the concurrence of the Community
Development Director, as to the appropriate mitigation (documentation,
recovery, avoidance, etc.) for the cultural resources.
iii. Grading of further ground disturbance shall not resume within the area of
the discovery until an agreement has been reached by all parties as to the
appropriate mitigation. Work shall be allowed to continue outside of the
buffer area and will be monitored by additional Tribal monitors if needed.
iv. Treatment and avoidance of the newly discovered resources shall be
consistent with the Cultural Resources Management Plan and Monitoring
Agreements entered into with the appropriate tribes. This may include
avoidance of the cultural resources through project design, in-place
preservation of cultural resources located in native soils and/or re-burial on
the Project property so they are not subject to further disturbance in
perpetuity as identified in Non-Disclosure of Reburial Condition.
v. If the find is determined to be significant and avoidance of the site has not
been achieved, a Phase III data recovery plan shall be prepared by the
project archeologist, in consultation with the Tribe, and shall be submitted

to the City for their review and approval prior to implementation of said
plan.
vi. Pursuant to Calif. Pub. Res. Code § 21083.2(b) avoidance is the preferred
method of preservation for archaeological resources and cultural
resources. If the landowner and the Tribe(s) cannot agree on the
significance or the mitigation for the archaeological or cultural resources,
these issues will be presented to the City Community Development Director
for decision. The City Community Development Director shall make the
determination based on the provisions of the California Environmental
Quality Act with respect to archaeological resources, recommendations of
the project archeologist and shall take into account the cultural and
religious principles and practices of the Tribe. Notwithstanding any other
rights available under the law, the decision of the City Community
Development Director shall be appealable to the City Planning Commission
and/or City Council.”
20. Cultural Resources Disposition. In the event that Native American cultural
resources are discovered during the course of grading (inadvertent
discoveries), the following procedures shall be carried out for final disposition
of the discoveries:
a) One or more of the following treatments, in order of preference, shall be
employed with the tribes. Evidence of such shall be provided to the City of
Menifee Community Development Department:
i. Preservation-In-Place of the cultural resources, if feasible. Preservation
in place means avoiding the resources, leaving them in the place where
they were found with no development affecting the integrity of the
resources.
ii. Reburial of the resources on the Project property. The measures for
reburial shall include, at least, the following: Measures and provisions
to protect the future reburial area from any future impacts in perpetuity.
Reburial shall not occur until all legally required cataloging and basic
recordation have been completed, with an exception that sacred items,
burial goods and Native American human remains are excluded. Any
reburial process shall be culturally appropriate. Listing of contents and
location of the reburial shall be included in the confidential Phase IV
report. The Phase IV Report shall be filed with the City under a
confidential cover and not subject to Public Records Request.
iii. If preservation in place or reburial is not feasible then the resources
shall be curated in a culturally appropriate manner at a Riverside
County curation facility that meets State Resources Department Office
of Historic Preservation Guidelines for the Curation of Archaeological
Resources ensuring access and use pursuant to the Guidelines. The
collection and associated records shall be transferred, including title,
and are to be accompanied by payment of the fees necessary for

remains are encountered. Earthmoving activities may be diverted to
other areas of the site.
2) The applicant shall retain a qualified paleontologist approved by the
County of Riverside.
3) The paleontologist shall determine the significance of the encountered
fossil remains.
4) Paleontological monitoring of earthmoving activities will continue
thereafter on an as-needed basis by the paleontologist during all
earthmoving activities that may expose sensitive strata. Earthmoving
activities in areas of the project area where previously undisturbed
strata will be buried but not otherwise disturbed will not be monitored.
The supervising paleontologist will have the authority to reduce
monitoring once he/she determines the probability of encountering any
additional fossils has dropped below an acceptable level.
5) If fossil remains are encountered by earthmoving activities when the
paleontologist is not onsite, these activities will be diverted around the
fossil site and the paleontologist called to the site immediately to
recover the remains.
6) Any recovered fossil remains will be prepared to the point of
identification and identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible by
knowledgeable paleontologists. The remains then will be curated
(assigned and labeled with museum* repository fossil specimen
numbers and corresponding fossil site numbers, as appropriate; places

BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
49. Burrowing Owl. Pursuant to Objective 6 and Objective 7 of the Species
Account for the Burrowing Owl included in the Western Riverside County
Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan, within 30 days prior to the
issuance of a grading permit, a pre-construction presence/absence survey for
the burrowing owl shall be conducted by a qualified biologist and the results of
this presence/absence survey shall be provided in writing to the City of
Menifee Community Development Department. As long as there are fewer
than 3 pairs of burrowing owls on or adjacent to the Site, passive or active
relocation of the burrowing owls will occur prior to ground-disturbing activities
onsite and follow standard protocols. If 3 or more pairs of burrowing owls are
detected on or adjacent to the Site, the City and County will be contacted
immediately to discuss appropriate actions. If construction must occur during
the avian breeding season, pre-construction surveys shall be performed by a
qualified biologist within 10 calendar days prior to the start of work to
determine the presence or absence of nesting birds within 300 feet (500 feet
for special-status species and raptors) of the impact area. If nesting birds are
detected, the City, County, and Wildlife Agencies shall be contacted to discuss
the potential impact minimization measures to be implemented. If construction
and/or disturbance of the site is suspended for a period of days (30) days or
more, a new survey shall be required.
If the 30-day pre-construction burrowing owl survey finds burrowing owls on
the site, the project biologist shall notify CDFW and USFWS within two
business days of discovering the occupied burrows, and shall subsequently
prepare a Burrowing Owl Protection and Relocation Plan for review and
approval by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), U.S. Fish

and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and the Regional Conservation Authority
(RCA) prior to initiating any ground-disturbing activities (including disking and
mowing, among others).
50. Raptors and Nesting Bird Protection. To avoid impacting nesting birds, one
of the following must be implemented:
Conduct grading activities from July 1 through January 31st, when raptors are
not likely to be nesting on the site; OR
Seven days prior to the onset of construction activities during the raptor
nesting season (February 1 to June 30), a qualified biologist shall survey
within 500 feet of the project impact area for the presence of any active raptor
nests (common or special status). Any nest found during survey efforts shall
be mapped on the construction plans. If no active nests are found, no further
mitigation would be required. Results of the surveys shall be provided to the
CDFW. If nesting activity is present at any raptor nest site, the active site shall
be protected until nesting activity has ended to ensure compliance with
Section 3503.5 of the California Fish and Game Code. To protect any nest
site, the following restrictions to construction activities are required until nests
are no longer active as determined by a qualified biologist: (1) clearing limits
shall be established within a 500-foot buffer around any occupied nest, unless
otherwise determined by a qualified biologist, and (2) access and surveying
shall be restricted within 300 feet of any occupied nest, unless otherwise
determined by a qualified biologist. Any encroachment into the buffer area
around the known nest shall only be allowed if the biologist determines that
the proposed activity will not disturb the nest occupants. Construction can
proceed when the qualified biologist has determined that fledglings have left
the nest. If an active nest is observed during the non-nesting season, the nest
site shall be monitored by a qualified biologist, and when the raptor is away
from the nest, the biologist will flush any raptor to open space areas. A
qualified biologist, or construction personnel under the direction of the
qualified biologist, shall then remove the nest site so raptors cannot return to a
nest.
If construction is to occur during the MBTA nesting cycle (February 15-
September 15) than a nesting bird survey should be conducted by a qualified
biologist. Disturbance that causes nest abandonment and/or loss of
reproductive effort (e.g., killing or abandonment of eggs or young) may be
considered take and is potentially punishable by fines or imprisonment. Active
bird nests should be mapped utilizing a hand-held global positioning system
(GPS) and a 300’ buffer will be flagged around the nest (500’ buffer for raptor
nests). Construction should not be permitted within the buffer areas while the
nest continues to be active (eggs, chicks, etc.).
51. Environmental Permits. In order to prevent unauthorized impacts to
jurisdictional features or riparian/riverine areas, the following permits shall be
issued and/or reports approved (or exemptions issued) by the respective
resource agency, and any associated conditions of approval shall be agreed
upon, prior to the initiation of any ground disturbing activities associated with
the proposed development:

52. In Lieu Payment. The applicant shall pay a one-time fee for 2.19 acres for
riparian and riverine habitats in-lieu fee program off-site reestablishment
through Riverpark Mitigation Bank, or any other approved in-lieu fee program
at time of rough grading permit issuance will be acquired for mitigation of the
impacts at a minimum ratio of 2:1 or greater if required by another agency. If
reestablishment credits are not available then 3.0 acres for riparian and
riverine habitats in-lieu fee program off-site enhancement credits through
Riverpark Mitigation Bank, or any other approved in-lieu fee program at time of
rough grading permit issuance will be acquired for mitigation of the impacts if
required by another agency. Notification to California Department of Fish and
Wildlife, California Regional Water Quality Control Board, and U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers is required regarding which type of in-lieu fee credits
(reestablishment or enhancement) are being utilized. Mitigation for the impacts
will be at a minimum 3:1 ratio for riverine or whatever is required1 by California
Department of Fish and Wildlife, California Regional Water Quality Control
Board, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Should sufficient in-lieu fee credits not be available for purchase at the time
the project is implemented, or should other agencies not approve in-lieu fee
credit purchase, then the Developer must prepare and submit for review and
approval a Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (HMMP) for a site-specific
restoration project at a minimum 3:1 mitigation to impact ratio. The plan must
meet County of Riverside requirements, as well as requirements of other
resource and wildlife agencies. Appropriate guarantees for the restoration
project must be in place (e.g., letter of credit, bond, etc.) prior to issuance of a
grading permit.
The Restoration Plan and Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Program (HMMP)
will be reviewed and approved by the Regional Conservation Authority (RCA)
and Wildlife Agencies prior to project implementation (any vegetation removal,
staging equipment on site, ground disturbance, etc.).
53. Landscaping. Project-related landscaping shall not include exotic plan
species that may be invasive to native habitats. Invasive exotic plant species
not to be used include those listed on the California Invasive Plant Council’s
Invasive Plant Inventory and Table 6-2: Plants that should be avoided adjacent
to the MSHCP Conservation Area,” found in Section 6.1.4 of the MSHCP.
54. Best Management Practices. Best Management Practices and the SWPPP
shall specifically include mandatory measures to prevent any movement of
water, soils, or any material from the site into offsite areas.

A. The project paleontologist shall participate in a pre-construction project
meeting with development staff and construction operations to ensure an
understanding of any mitigation measures required during construction, as
applicable.
B. Paleontological monitoring of earthmoving activities will be conducted on an
as-needed basis by the project paleontologist during all earthmoving activities
that may expose sensitive strata. Earthmoving activities in areas of the project
area where previously undisturbed strata will be buried but not otherwise
disturbed will not be monitored. The project paleontologist or his/her assign will
have the authority to reduce monitoring once he/she determines the probability
of encountering fossils has dropped below an acceptable level.
C. If the project paleontologist finds fossil remains, earthmoving activities will
be diverted temporarily around the fossil site until the remains have been
evaluated and recovered. Earthmoving will be allowed to proceed through the
site when the project paleontologist determines the fossils have been
recovered and/or the site mitigated to the extent necessary.
D. If fossil remains are encountered by earthmoving activities when the project
paleontologist is not onsite, these activities will be diverted around the fossil
site and the project paleontologist called to the site immediately to recover the
remains.
E. If fossil remains are encountered, fossiliferous rock will be recovered from
the fossil site and processed to allow for the recovery of smaller fossil remains.
Test samples may be recovered from other sampling sites in the rock unit if
appropriate.
F. Any recovered fossil remains will be prepared to the point of identification
and identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible by knowledgeable
paleontologists. The remains then will be curated (assigned and labeled with
museum* repository fossil specimen numbers and corresponding fossil site
numbers, as appropriate; places in specimen trays and, if necessary, vials with
completed specimen data cards) and catalogued, an associated specimen data
and corresponding geologic and geographic site data will be archived
(specimen and site numbers and corresponding data entered into appropriate
museum repository catalogs and computerized data bases) at the museum
repository by a laboratory technician. The remains will then be accessioned
into the museum* repository fossil collection, where they will be permanently
stored, maintained, and, along with associated specimen and site data, made
available for future study by qualified scientific investigators.
* The City of Menifee must be consulted on the repository/museum to receive
the fossil material prior to being curated.
G. A qualified paleontologist shall prepare a report of findings made during all
site grading activity with an appended itemized list of fossil specimens
recovered during grading (if any). This report shall be submitted to the

Works / Engineering Department) Conditions of Approval for this project which shall be
satisfied at no cost to the City or any other Government Agency. All questions regarding
the intent of the following conditions shall be referred to the Public Works / Engineering
Department, Land Development Section. The Developer / Property Owner shall use the
standards and design criteria stated in the following conditions and shall comply with all
applicable City of Menifee standards and ordinances. Should a conflict arise between City
of Menifee standards and design criteria, and any other standards and design criteria,
those of the City of Menifee shall prevail.
A. GENERAL
96. Subdivision Map Act. The Developer / Property Owner shall comply with the
State of California Subdivision Map Act.
97. Project Description, Tentative Tract Map (TTM) 36911 and Lot Line
Adjustment. The proposed Tentative Tract Map 36911 is a subdivision of 26.95
acres of land into 68 Single Family Residential units and ten Open Space Lots,
three of which are to be developed into three dual purpose Water
Quality/Detention Basins (OS 69, 73 and 74). The property owner and applicant,
Recreational Land Investments, Inc. (RLI), is proposing to include in the TTM
boundaries, a 0.69-acre of land currently owned by the neighboring developer,
Cimarron Ridge, LLC. This 0.69-acre land, identified as OS 69 in the proposed
TTM 36911, is to be developed into one of the three proposed dual basins. The
property owner is endeavoring to acquire the 0.69 acre land from Cimarron
Ridge, LLC once it is created as a separate lot through a Lot Line Adjustment
(LLA No. 18-003) process. The proposed LLA involves existing parcels owned
by RLI and Cimarron Ridge, LLC. The proposed LLA process is currently under
review by the City and therefore has not been approved or recorded. Prior to
final map recordation for TTM36911, the LLA adjustment must be approved and
recorded creating the 0.69 acre land.
98. Mylars. All improvement plans and grading plans shall be drawn on twenty-four
(24) inch by thirty-six (36) inch Mylar and signed by a registered civil engineer
and/or other registered/licensed professional as required.
99. Plan Check Submittal Process. Improvement plans and grading plans shall be
submitted with necessary supporting documentation and technical studies
(hydrology, hydraulics, traffic impact analysis, geotechnical studies, etc.) to the
PW Engineering Department for review and approval. All submittals shall be
signed, and date stamped by the Engineer of Record. The plans must receive
PW approval prior to final map recordation; or issuance of any construction
permit, grading permit, or building permits as applicable or as determined by the
PW Director. All submittals shall include a completed City Fee or Deposit Based
Worksheet and the appropriate plan check fees paid. For any improvements
proposed to be owned and maintained by the Riverside County Flood Control
District (RCFC), improvement plans must receive District technical approval, or
substantial completion clearance letter issued by the District, prior to final map
recordation or as determined by the District.

boundary of the development and collected into storm drains and connect to
existing lines located on Valley Blvd. Onsite drainage which will generally flow in
a west to east direction and will be conveyed through a combination of surface
flow and curb and gutter to three proposed onsite dual Water Quality and
Detention basins: Basin 1, near the southeast corner of the tract, Basin 2, in the
middle of the tract at its easterly boundary, and Basin 3, near the northwest
corner of the development. The basins will serve a both water quality and
detention basins. Flows from these basins will outlet to a proposed storm drain
system that will connect to existing Flood Control District storm drain facilities,
and City drainage facilities located in the adjacent Tract 22483 development east
of the Project.
149. Water Quality/Detention Dual Basin Designs. Basin designs shall incorporate
discernable boundary distinctions and limits to distinguish components that are
for water quality purposes and components that are for flood control or detention
purposes. If the basins are to be maintained by more than one entity such as the
City, Flood Control or HOA, the designs shall be reviewed and approved by the
Public Works Engineering Department prior to approval of any plans. The
designs shall include acceptable maintenance access for responsible
maintaining entities.
150. BMP – Energy Dissipators. Energy Dissipators, such as rip-rap shall be
installed at the outlet of a storm drain system that discharges runoff flows into a
natural channel or an unmaintained facility. The dissipators shall be designed to
minimize the amount of erosion downstream of the storm drain outlet. This
condition shall also apply to proposed bio-retention basin inlets.
151. Increased Runoff. The development of this site will adversely impact
downstream property owners by increasing the rate and volume of flood flows.
To mitigate this impact, the Developer / Property Owner has proposed three dual
WQ/Detention basins. Final design of these basins will be required at the
improvement plan approval stage of this development. The preliminary hydrology
and hydraulics study submitted provided the general size, shape, and location of
the proposed dual basins to mitigate the impacts of increased runoff. In final
engineering and prior to approval of a grading plan or storm drain plans, the
developer shall submit a final drainage study to finalize basin designs. The final
study shall be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer. All
recommendations in the approved study to mitigate impacts of increased runoff
shall be implemented, and any redesigns shall be the responsibility of the
developer.

project specific WQMP prepared in accordance with the latest WQMP guidelines
approved by the Regional Water Quality Control Board.
157. Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP). In compliance with Santa Ana
Region Regional Water Quality Control Board Orders, and beginning January 1,
2005, projects determined as priority development projects seeking discretionary
approval by the governing body, will be required to comply with the Water
Quality Management Plan requirement for Urban Runoff (WQMP). The WQMP
addresses post-development water quality impacts from new development and
redevelopment projects. This project is within the Santa Ana River (SAR)
watershed, therefore the WQMP requirements for the SAR will apply. The
Regional Board approved WQMP guidelines and templates to assist the
Developer / Property Owner in preparing the necessary WQMP are available on-
line at http://rcflood.org/npdes/ under Watershed Protection web page. To
comply with the requirement for a WQMP, the Developer / Property Owner must
submit a "Project Specific" WQMP in compliance with the latest WQMP
guidelines approved by the Regional Board. This report is intended to a) identify
potential post-project pollutants and hydrologic impacts associated with the
development; b) identify proposed mitigation measures (BMPs) for identified
impacts including site design, source control and treatment control post-
development BMPs; and c) identify sustainable funding and maintenance
mechanisms for the aforementioned BMPs. To comply with this requirement the
Developer / Property Owner has submitted a PRELIMINARY Project Specific
WQMP, prepared by Adkan Engineers and dated January 2020. The City Public
Works / Engineering Department has reviewed and approved the PRELIMINARY
WQMP.
Prior to Grading Permit Issuance
158. Preliminary Project Specific Water Quality Management Plan (Prelim
WQMP) – A Preliminary Project Specific WQMP prepared by Adkan Engineers,
dated January 2015 and Revised February 2019, has been reviewed and
received preliminary approval for this development. The Prelim WQMP
addresses treatment of flows from the developed project condition by directing
the flows to three proposed dual Water Quality /Detention Basins for major
treatment prior to discharge. Prior to basin treatment, the development will
incorporate additional Low Impact Development (LID) techniques such as
treatment trains of BMPs that will provide pre-treatment prior to flows being
directed to the major dual basins. Although approved for concept, the Prelim
WQMP requires revisions that includes the following:
a) The provided DMA requires revision, it does not match the proposed TTM
site plan
b) The Section for Operation, Maintenance and Funding requires correction.
The project is proposing the dual basins to be City-CFD maintained (public),
while the WQMP indicates HOA ownership and maintenance.
c) The enclosed TTM site plan in the WQMP is outdated and not consistent with
the proposed TTM site plan to be considered for Planning Commission
approval.

Mr. Baeza,I have read the notice referenced above. I have noted that there appears to be "MinimalImpact" overall to the environment and local community.What I did not see is whether there would be restricted access from the East side to the Westside. For example, gated access community or not.I also did not see that there were any provisions to 'improve' the local environment. Much wasconcerning the possible negative impacts from said construction. Nothing about whatconstruction or design implementations will be incorporated to improve the environment.Is it not part of the local jurisdiction, not only to monitor what negative impacts might occurbut also what positive impacts such construction would provide. Although, I noted that due totraffic density, a traffic signal would be required at Chambers and Murrieta. Would it not beprudent to require that trees be planted, say one for every lot, therefore an additional 68 treeswould be benefiting the environment in all the ways that they do. Providing atmosphericbenefits, nesting places for migrating birds and of course scenic beautification. Thusimproving our local city in a way that it would make it far more attractive for futureprospective residents. A respect for nature and the human psyche.Maybe there are plans for the development in this manner. Forgive me if there are, entertain usall if there are not.Yours,George Neofytou

Dear Mr. Neofytou,
Thank you for your questions. I am the City Traffic Engineer and have reviewed your questions
and have prepared the response below:
The project will only be contributing fair share funds for the future construction of the traffic
signal at Murrieta/Chambers per the traffic impact analysis and conditions of approval. The
intersection will remain as all-way stop controlled until a traffic signal is constructed in the
future.
The intersection of Chambers/Grosse Pointe is operating as an all-way stop. This all-way stop
was approved by the City based on traffic operation safety issues at that time. There is no
plans to remove the all-way stop from this intersection.
Please let me know if you need any additional information.
Best Regards,
Rob Blough
City Traffic Engineer

RE: Appendix-G1-TTM-36911-TIA-Report-3-9-2020
Dear Board,
I am a resident living adjacent to the proposed Project site no. 36911
I have read most all of the Projects impacts, positive and negative, in the notices that were sent to me. I looked atwhat area would impact all residents in the surrounding area. That would be the G1 TTM Report (linked below). In
that report, I have found a glaring inconsistency with the Projects analysis report.
Review of the Exhibits and Recommendations are based on false data and the physical structure of a roadway that
does not exist. It is apparent, from the analysis, that not one person has physically been to the area to confirm thedata represented on the Exhibits to be true and accurate. The inconsistency lay with the roadway, Chambers
Avenue, between Murrieta Road and Connie Way. To further my point, I will be using references and abbreviationsthat are referenced in the document below, that can be accessed by copying the link provided.
The main analysis is the impact at intersections of the approach roads and access points to the Project site. It is clearthat the Exhibits, included in the report, either do not truly show the physical nature or take into account the
portion of roadway of Chambers Avenue between Murrieta Road and Connie Way.
The main focus is the traffic flow, type of traffic and it’s LOS on the immediate vicinity.
Existing conditions; 1.3.1, Existing Plus Project (E+P) Conditions; 1.3.2, EAP Conditions; 1.3.3 and Opening YearCumulative (2020) Conditions 1.3.4 etc., etc. Have all pointed to a LOS E PM peak hour issue only at intersection #3.
All the studies are based on the following:-
Section 3 Existing Conditions.
Exhibit 3.1 shows the approaches to the intersection #3 (Chambers and Murrieta) travelling along Chambers. Are a2U Eastbound and a 4U Westbound. In actual fact the Westbound point at the intersection is divided into 5 lanes. 2

Eastbound, a Defacto Left Turn, a Straight ahead and a Defacto Right Turn Lanes. When you approach theintersection Eastbound and reach the Stop sign, you are faced with 3 lanes of oncoming traffic, Going straight aheadis a zig-zag across the intersection.
It also shows that the Chambers Ave. Westbound approach to Valley Blvd. is a 2U. That is also incorrect, it is a 4U.The small diagram to the left of the legend depicts the traffic flow correctly.
Exhibit 3.2 shows that Chambers Ave. is a Secondary 4 Lanes undivided roadway all the way through in its entirelength. This is false! So begins the incorrectness of the data. In order for all the studies and analyses to apply, thesection of roadway; Chambers Avenue between Murrieta Road and Connie Way, must be completed prior to theProject initiation.
Exhibit 3.6 shows that there is a Community Bike Lane Class II and/or Community Trail – Hiking, Biking & EquestrianOpportunity. This does not exist for the former! There can be no Class II bikeways etc., until the roadway is widenedto 4 Lanes. There are no sidewalks on either side of the street at present. This can be clearly seen on Exhibit 3.7
Exhibit 3.7 does not correctly show existing network. It purports to have a Class II route for NEV/Bike access lanes;between Murrieta Road and Connie Way along Chambers Avenue. Incorrect! Therefore the Section 3.6 analysis onthe impact on traffic flow and LOS is significantly flawed due to the roadway being only 2 Rural Lanes and not a4 Lane divided roadway.
Exhibit 3.9 shows traffic volumes with a proposed 4 Lane Eastbound approach on Chambers to Murrieta. How willthat be with only a 2U? Therefore Section 3.7 is incorrect, because it is based on Chambers Avenue being a 4 Laneundivided roadway as indicated in Exhibit 3.2.
Section 4 does not apply, for traffic volumes, because it is based on false data.
Section 5 clearly shows via Exhibits 5.1 and 5.2 that the intersection cannot function as a 2U and needs to beexpanded with the ‘what should be there already’ a 4 Lane undivided roadway, i.e. Chambers Avenue. So how canExhibit 5.3 and Table 5.1 apply?? Then Table 5.2 shows false data analysis. This all stems from the roadwayChambers Avenue between Murrieta Road and Connie Way NOT being completed as a 4 Lane undivided roadway.
Section 6 is incorrect due to the false data analysis. Refer to Exhibit 6.1 & 6.2 and Table 6.1 & 6.2.
Section 7 can no longer apply because Section 7.1 does not take into account the necessary extension of ChambersAvenue to 4 Lanes all the way through. Exhibit 7.1 and 7.2 are not accurate as projections. Exhibits 7.3 and 7.4 showwhere a traffic signal is proposed BUT left to the discretion of the City Traffic Engineer; Section 7.5.2. This is a biggrey area and should not be left up to discretion. The opportunity for misconduct could be potential issue. Section7.6 recommends a traffic signal and a left turn lane from eastbound to northbound at the #3 intersection.
Section 8 and Table 8.1 list improvements with an existing 4U in the analysis. There is no 4U!! There is a 2U.
The TUMF should be recalculated on the basis that there is a provision to expand Chambers Avenue to a 4 Laneundivided roadway to accommodate the intersection #3 upgrade.
In addition, it is documented that the area of Chambers avenue and Connie way is subject to sinkholes. Which wererepaired but now show that they are reappearing. The concern is that with the oncoming heavy nature of theconstruction traffic. This situation will be exacerbated and more road damage will occur. Please refer to the sinkholenorth of Chambers and Connie Way.

GEORGE P. NEOFYTOU

Manny –
It’ summer. It gets hotter earlier. To beat the heat, workers are (will be) leaving earlier to get to the
job. So, I updated the concerned time of construction traffic from 10:00pm to 6:00am to 10:00pm to
4:00am.
Thanks,
Thomas Hill

I am interested in the hearing. I live on 27417 Prominence Rd. which backs on ChambersAve., which is about a block east of Valley Blvd.
I am concerned about the noise made during construction, especially early in the morning andlate at night. My concern is if construction traffic occurs between 10:00pm and 4:00am. (Note:Construction traffic includes traffic to and from the job.)
I am also concerned what the deterrent is. Will the penalty be enough to deter traffic duringthese times in the future? (e.g. very painful or a slap on the wrist).
I am also concerned if the construction companies get a waiver to allow construction traffic tooperate outside Ordinance 847 requirements without a public hearing.
I can go to the hearing on July 22 and present this there, unless you can answer some of myconcerns.
Thanks,
Thomas Hill

Thanks for the reply.
Do “construction activities” include traffic to and from the site? If not, what about noisy trucks and heavy
machinery passing behind my house before 6:30am or 7:00am?

I’m just concerned about the construction traffic which includes deliveries. What if they’re not quiet? What’s
the incentive? Penalty?

Good Morning,
I spoke to the construction manager again and he advised that the penalties are the same as mentioned
before. The City could stop work on the project which is a significant penalty to a developer. Hope this
answers your question. Thanks, Manny
