RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Conduct a Public Hearing; and
2. Adopt a Resolution approving Plot Plan No. PLN19-0065 subject to the Conditions of
Approval, and based upon the findings and conclusions incorporated in the staff report.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Plot Plan No. PLN19-0065 proposes to demolish an existing 5,381 square foot building (Church)
and parking lot and construct a new 3,312 square foot building (Kingdom Hall) along with a new
parking lot (67 parking spaces) and 32,346 square foot on-site landscape area. No preschool
activities are being proposed.
LOCATION
The project site is located south of Sun City Boulevard, north of Potomac Drive, east of Murrieta
Road and west of Bradley Road at 29101 Del Monte Drive, City of Menifee, County of Riverside,
California (APN: 338-024-033). The site is bound by developed single-family residential parcels
with the exception of a vacant undeveloped lot owned by the neighboring religious facility to the
northwest of the project site.

GENERAL PLAN/ZONE
General Plan
The General Plan land use designation for the subject parcel and the adjacent parcels is 2.1-5
du/ac Residential (2.1-5R). The intent of this land use designation is for single-family detached
and attached residences with a density range of 2 to 5 dwelling units per acre. The subject site
and the adjacent site to the northwest were approved as religious institutions under the County of
Riverside prior to City incorporation. The project is consistent with the General Plan land use
designation and compatible with surrounding General Plan land uses.

Zoning
The project site was zoned R-2 (Multiple Family Dwellings) when the City deemed the project
application complete. The R-2 Zone allows for “Churches” with the approval of a Plot Plan. The
zoning of the site was changed to LDR-2 (Low Density Residential) when the City conducted
substantial updates to the zoning map and zoning ordinance in January 2020. A “Religious
Institution” is allowed under the LDR-2 Zone with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP).
The approval of a Major Plot Plan under the prior zoning code or a Major Conditional Use Permit
under the present zoning code requires Planning Commission approval. The surrounding zoning
classifications are the same as the subject site under the prior zoning code (R-2) and under the
current zoning code (LDR-2). The surrounding “uses” are primarily single-family residential with
the exception of the adjacent properties to the northwest of the project site which is a vacant lot
owned by a separate church. The use is consistent with the zoning map. The current zoning map
can be found below.

DISCUSSION
Background
The existing building was constructed in 1964 shortly after residential construction began in the
community of Sun City in 1962 by Del E. Webb Corporation. The existing building was permitted
(building permit no. BZ120165) and constructed by First Baptist Church near the end of 1964.
From 1967-1970, a Jewish faith group, Temple Beth Shalom acquired the property and
constructed a small addition to the existing building and performed minor interior alterations. In
1986, a Plot Plan was approved (Plot Plan No. 8510) and construction began on a 1,500 square
foot addition to the existing synagogue which included a new social hall and storage room. By
2013, building permits were issued for minor tenant improvement work under the supervision of
the new property owners (KHJW), with a long-term goal of improving the newly acquired site
substantially.

Site Plan
The majority of the existing 1.43-acre site has been improved. The site contains a 5,381 square
foot building near the center of the site with an impervious parking area of 50,963 square feet
located primarily to the south of the existing building. The proposed building and parking area will
contain a similar footprint and orientation than the existing parking lot and building but will be
reduced in size. The proposed building will be 3,312 square feet (2,069 less than the existing
building) and the proposed parking area will be 26,770 (24,193 less than the existing parking
area) with 32,346 square feet of proposed landscape area.
The proposed building is setback 23 feet from the front property line with a large portion of the
building approximately 40 feet from the front property line. The remaining building setbacks are
as follows: 95.5 feet from the rear property line, 20 feet from the northerly interior side property
line and approximately 275 feet from the southerly interior side property line.
Based on the building square footage and size of the auditorium, a total of 53 parking spaces are
required, however, 67 are being proposed. The following parking spaces are being proposed: 58
standard (9’ x 18’) parking spaces, four (4) Clean Air Vehicle parking spaces, three (3) ADA
parking spaces and two (2) Electric Vehicle parking spaces. A decorative bicycle rack supporting
at least three (3) bicycles is being proposed to the left of the primary entrance.

Access and Circulation
The project site is located west of Interstate 215, south of McCall Boulevard, north of Newport
Road and east of Murrieta Road at 29101 Del Monte Drive. The site has approximately 320 lineal
feet of street frontage along Del Monte Drive and has two (2) 30-foot-wide dual access driveways
approximately 130 feet apart, along with 24-foot-wide drive aisles on-site. Del Monte Drive is
classified as a General Local road designation per the City’s General Plan, with a typical 60-foot
right-of-way width. No additional street dedication will be required as the site is at the ultimate
right-of-way width.
Architecture
Sun City was developed in the early 1960’s as a low-profile Ranch Style Community with a
curvilinear street layout and a 55-plus age restriction on its residents, much is still the same today.
The proposed Kingdom Hall building is compatible with the theme of the existing community,
including the single-level design with a shake roof (or asphalt shingles), stucco siding, stone
veneer, and a rustic trim with earthen color tones. The front elevation (southern elevation)
contains the primary entrance while facing the proposed parking lot. A portico is located over the
main entrance, with stone support columns and a stone veneer wainscot below the front windows.

Two (2) enclosures are being proposed; one (1) 14-foot by 16-foot masonry block trash enclosure
with a decorative cap and stone veneer pilasters and one (1) 13-foot by 28-foot mechanical
equipment enclosure with matching decorative block, cap and veneer finish. Both enclosures will
have landscape vines on the exterior at 10 feet on center and an overhead decorative trellis. The
proposed building materials and colors are consistent with the surrounding residential properties
and adjacent church.

Signage
The site will be allowed a maximum of three (3) wall signs (1 per building face, max. 3) at a ratio
of one (1) lineal foot of building frontage per one (1) square foot of wall signage. Wall signage will
be approved under a separate permit, but the approved locations are shown on the elevation
drawings.
A four (4) foot high, 32 square foot monument sign is being proposed between the building and
the front property line and will be setback approximately nine (9) feet from the right-of-way,
allowing for an adequate line-of-sight when exiting or entering the property. The monument sign
will be constructed of similar colors and materials as the rest of the project site. A decorative stone
veneer cap will be used to tie in the architecture of the main building.
Landscaping and Screening
The project site will include 32,346 sq. ft. of proposed landscaped area. This equates to
approximately 59 percent of the project area (10 percent is required by the City’s Landscape
Ordinance). A variety of planting fingers and landscape diamonds will be used throughout the
parking area to allow for shade trees and to soften the visual appearance. Due to the irregular
shaped lot, a large flat landscaped area (approximately 16,000 square feet) behind and to the
southwest of the primary building will be covered with ground mulch and planted with a
combination of evergreen trees and drought-tolerant shrubs. The site contains a bio-swale
between the building and the right-of-way that will gather onsite runoff and serve as a filter before
it is routed and ultimately collected by the public storm drain.
A combination of low shrubs and trees will be used within a proposed 10-foot landscape buffer
along the entire site boundary to partially screen the new parking area and building from adjacent
properties. A five (5) foot high masonry block wall exists along the southwestern (rear yard) and

southeastern (interior side yard) property lines and will be painted to match the proposed building
and enclosures. A six (6) inch mow curb will be used along the northern property line (to indicate
property boundary) along with evergreen trees to screen the proposed building from the adjacent
vacant neighboring church property and the right-of-way.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The project is determined to be Categorically Exempt under Section(s) 15302, “Replacement or
Reconstruction” (Class 2) and 15332, “In-Fill Development Projects” (Class 32) under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and CEQA Guidelines. Section 15302,
“Replacement or Reconstruction” consists of replacement or reconstruction of existing structures
and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced
and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced, as is the
case of the proposed project. Section 15332, “In-Fill Development Projects” also applies as the
project site is surrounded by “urban uses” and is consistent with the General Plan Policies and
zoning designation. Furthermore, the project has been reviewed and it was determined it will not
have an adverse effect related to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. In addition, the
proposed development is within the boundaries of the City of Menifee and is less than five (5)
acres. The project has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species, because

there is an existing church building and parking currently on the property. Lastly, the site is
adequately served by all the necessary utilities and public services.
CEQA Guidelines state that historical resources (buildings, structures, or archeological
resources) are considered part of the environment and are subject to review under CEQA. A
historical analysis was performed between September and November 2018 by CRM TECH, to
determine the level of historical significance for the existing building due to the age of construction
(1964, 57 years old). After performing a detailed document search and conducting interviews with
the Sun City Civic Association and Menifee Valley Historical Association, CRM TECH made the
determination that the demolition of the building would not constitute “a substantial adverse
change in the significance of a historical resource.” Concluding that the existing building does not
meet CEQA’s definition of a historic resource.
FINDINGS
Findings for the Plot Plan are included in the attached Resolution.
PUBLIC NOTICE
The proposed project was noticed on February 12, 2021 for the February 24, 2021 Planning
Commission hearing. A public notice was published within The Press Enterprise. Notices were
also mailed to property owners within a 300-foot radius of the project site and posted on the
project site. All relevant public agencies were also notified of the public hearing.

RESOLUTION PC21-____
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MENIFEE, CALIFORNIA APPROVING PLOT PLAN NO. PLN19-0065,
KINGDOM HALL LOCATED SOUTH OF SUN CITY BOULEVARD,
NORTH OF POTOMAC DRIVE, EAST OF MURRIETA ROAD AND
WEST OF BRADLEY ROAD (APN: 338-024-033)
WHEREAS, on November 14, 2019, the applicant, Joe VanHaaster, on behalf
of Newport Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses, filed a formal application with the City
of Menifee for the approval of Plot Plan PLN19-0065 to demolish an existing 5,381
square foot building (Church) and parking lot and construct a new 3,312 square foot
building (Kingdom Hall) along with a new parking lot (67 parking spaces) and 32,346
square foot on-site landscape area; and,
WHEREAS, on February 24, 2021, the Planning Commission of the City of
Menifee held a public hearing on the Project, considered all public testimony as
well as all materials in the staff report and accompanying documents for Plot Plan
No. PLN19-0065, 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 on-site posting; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the
City of Menifee makes the following Findings:
Section 1: The proposed project is consistent with the adopted General Plan and any
applicable specific plan.
Consistency with General Plan
The General Plan land use designation for the subject parcel and the adjacent parcels is
2.1-5 du/ac Residential (2.1-5R). The intent of this land use designation is for single-
family detached and attached residences with a density range of 2 to 5 dwelling units per
acre. The subject site was developed and became an integral component of the
Community of Sun City during its original construction. The subject site and the adjacent
site to the northwest were approved as religious institutions under the County of
Riverside prior to city incorporation. The project is consistent with the General Plan land
use designation and compatible with surrounding general plan land uses.
In addition, the project is consistent with the following City of Menifee General Plan
policies:
General Land Use Policies
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.
LU-1.7: Ensure neighborhood amenities and public facilities (natural open
space areas, parks, libraries, schools, trails, etc.) are distributed equitably
throughout the city.
Item Title:9.1 “Kingdom Hall”Reconstruction -Plot Plan No.PLN19-0065
Item Page Number:13
Plot Plan No. PLN19-0065
February 24, 2021
The project site was originally developed in 1964, shortly after residential and
commercial development began (by Del Webb) in what is present day Community of
Sun City. The religious facility was strategically constructed so that the neighboring
residential property owners had a place to gather and worship without use of a motor
vehicle. The project site, along with the adjacent property (Church of Christ of the Valley)
serves as a destination place that allows residents of Sun City (and the City of Menifee
at large) a place to gather, socialize and recreate while remaining within the comfort of
their community.
Project Design/ Community Design Features
CD-3.5 Design parking lots and structures to be functionally and visually
integrated and connected; off-street parking lots should not dominate the street
scene.
CD-3.8: Design retention/detention basins to be visually attractive and well
integrated with any associated project and with adjacent land uses.
CD-6.3 Require property owners to maintain the existing landscape on
developed nonresidential sites and replace unhealthy or dead landscaping.
A perimeter landscape buffer with evergreen trees and low shrubs is being proposed
around the entire site and perimeter walls exist along the rear and eastern interior side
yard to visually screen the proposed building and parking areas. The project site will
include 32,346 sq. ft. of proposed landscaped area, which equates to greater than 50
percent of the project area or an increase in approximately 267% over the existing
square footage of landscaped area. A variety of planting fingers and landscape
diamonds will be used throughout the parking area to allow for shade trees and to soften
the visual appearance. Due to the irregular shaped lot, a large flat landscaped area
(approximately 16,000 square feet) behind and to the southwest of the primary building
will be covered with ground mulch and planted with a combination of evergreen trees
and drought-tolerant shrubs. The site contains a bio-swale between the building and the
right-of-way that will gather onsite runoff and serve as a filter before it is routed and
ultimately collected by the public storm drain. The site design and use of landscaping
and landscape buffers well exceeds what is existing and what the city code requires.
CD-3.12: Utilize differing but complementary forms of architectural styles and
designs that incorporate representative characteristics of a given area.
CD-3.14 Provide variations in color, texture, materials, articulation, and
architectural treatments. Avoid long expanses of blank, monotonous walls or
fences.
The proposed Kingdom Hall architecture is compatible with the theme of the existing
community, including the single-level design with a shake roof (or asphalt shingles),
stucco siding, stone veneer, and a rustic trim with earthen color tones. A portico is
located over the main entrance, with stone support columns and a stone veneer
wainscot below the front windows. Furthermore, two (2) enclosures are being proposed;
one (1) masonry block trash enclosure with a decorative cap and stone veneer pilasters
and one (1) mechanical equipment enclosure with matching decorative block, cap and
veneer finish. Both enclosures will have landscape vines on the exterior at 10 feet on

center and an overhead decorative trellis. All proposed structures will utilize
complementary colors, materials, and architectural features and, therefore, will be
functionally and visually integrated.
Community Design Features - Lighting
CD-6.4 Require that lighting and fixtures be integrated with the design and
layout of a project and that they provide a desirable level of security and
illumination.
CD-6.5 Limit light leakage and spillage that may interfere with the
operations of the Palomar Observatory.
Adequate onsite lighting will be provided for security and visibility. The project has been
conditioned for all lighting fixtures to comply with Ordinance No. 2009-24, “Dark Sky
Ordinance”, which will have the effect of limiting leakage and spillage of light.
Section 2:Consistency with the Zoning Code.
The project site was zoned R-2 (Multiple Family Dwellings) when the city deemed the
project application complete, and therefore the project was analyzed under City-adopted
Ordinance No. 348. The R-2 Zone allows for “Churches” with the approval of a Plot Plan.
The existing building was originally approved with building permits (BZ120165) in 1964
and subsequentially with a Plot Plan for a substantial addition (Plot Plan No. 8510) under
the County of Riverside in 1986. The project is consistent with the development
standards, including but not limited to, parking and landscape regulations of all
applicable ordinances and codes at the time the application was deemed complete.
The zoning of the project site (and surrounding sites) was changed to LDR-2 (Low
Density Residential) when the city approved updates to the zoning map and zoning
ordinance in January 2020. A “Religious Institution” is allowed under the LDR-2 Zone,
with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The approval of a Major Plot Plan
under the prior zoning code or a Major Conditional Use Permit under the present zoning
code requires Planning Commission approval. The surrounding zoning classifications
are the same as the subject site under the prior zoning code (R-2) and under the current
zoning code (LDR-2). The surrounding uses are single-family residential with the
exception of the adjacent properties to the northwest of the project site which is a vacant
lot owned by a separate church.
The project is compatible with the surrounding land uses, General Plan land use
designations, and zoning classifications subject to Planning Commission approval. The
project incorporates architecture and landscaping which will enhance the area.
Therefore, the project would not create conditions materially detrimental to the public
health, safety and general welfare or injurious to or incompatible with other properties or
land uses in the project vicinity.
Section 3:Compliance with CEQA. Processing and approval of the permit application
are in compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act.
Item Title:9.1 “Kingdom Hall”Reconstruction -Plot Plan No.PLN19-0065

Plot Plan No. PLN19-0065
February 24, 2021
The project is determined to be Categorically Exempt under Section(s) 15302,
“Replacement or Reconstruction” (Class 2) and 15332, “In-Fill Development Projects”
(Class 32) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and CEQA
Guidelines. Section 15302, “Replacement or Reconstruction” consists of replacement or
reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located
on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose
and capacity as the structure replaced, as is the case of the proposed project. Section
15332, “In-Fill Development Projects” also applies as the project site is surrounded by
“urban uses” and is consistent with the General Plan Policies and zoning designation.
Furthermore, the project has been reviewed and it was determined it will not have an
adverse effect related to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. In addition, the
proposed development is within the boundaries of the City of Menifee and is less than
five (5) acres. The project has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened
species, because there is an existing church building and parking currently on the
property. Lastly, the site is adequately served by all the necessary utilities and public
services.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Planning Commission of the City of Menifee hereby
approves Plot Plan No. PLN19-0065 subject to the following:
1. The Findings set out above are true and correct.
2. Plot Plan No. PLN19-0065 is hereby approved subject to the Conditions of
Approval set forth in Exhibit “1” to this Resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this the 24th day of FEBRUARY, 2021.

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).
29.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
Item Title:9.1 “Kingdom Hall”Reconstruction -Plot Plan No.PLN19-0065

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. 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.”
30.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.
PALEONTOLOGICAL
31.Inadvertent Paleontological Find. Should fossil remains be encountered during
site development:
1) All site earthmoving shall be ceased in the area of where the fossil 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 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.

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: “Kingdom Hall” Reconstruction - 29101 Del Monte Drive - Plot Plan No. PLN19-0065
The Planning Commission will consider the following project at a public hearing:
Plot Plan No. PLN19-0065 proposes to demolish an existing 5,381 square foot building (Church) and parking lot
and construct a new 3,312 square foot building (Kingdom Hall) along with a new parking lot (67 parking spaces) and
32,346 square foot on-site landscape area. No preschool activities or study groups are being proposed.
Project Location:
The project site is located in a residential zone in the
Community of Sun City, south of Sun City Boulevard,
north of Potomac Drive, east of Murrieta Road and
west of Bradley Road at 29101 Del Monte Drive, City
of Menifee, County of Riverside, California (APN: 338-
024-033).
Project Data:
General Plan Land Use: 2.1-5 du/acre (2.1-5
Dwelling Units per Acre - Residential)
Zoning: Multiple Family Dwellings (R-2) (zoning
classification at the time project was deemed
complete)
Low Density Residential (LDR-2) (current zoning
classification)
Environmental Information: The project is determined to be Categorically Exempt under Section(s) 15302,
“Replacement or Reconstruction” (Class 2) and 15332, “In-Fill Development Projects” (Class 32) under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and CEQA Guidelines. Section 15302, “Replacement or
Reconstruction” consists of replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new
structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same
purpose and capacity as the structure replaced, as is the case of the proposed project. Section 15332, “In-Fill
Development Projects” also applies as the project site is surrounded by “urban uses” and is consistent with the
General Plan Policies and zoning designation. Furthermore, the project has been reviewed and it was
determined it will not have an adverse effect related to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.
Any person wishing to comment on the proposed project may do so in writing between the date of this
notice and the public hearing 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
Item Title:9.1 “Kingdom Hall”Reconstruction -Plot Plan No.PLN19-0065
Item Page Number:70
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.
