NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Menifee hereby makes the following Findings:
Section 1: Consistency with the General Plan. The project is consistent with the
General Plan Land Use Map, and applicable General Plan objectives, policies, and programs:
Consistency with General Plan
The General Plan land use of the subject site is the Menifee Village
Specific Plan No. 158 (SP #158). More specifically, the site is located
within Planning Area 2-2 of the Specific Plan. Planning Area 2-2 is
designated as Sports Park which allows a variety of active recreational
uses. The proposed Project would consist of a wireless communications
facility concealed as a 70’ clock tower that will be attached to the existing
multi-purpose building and a 715 square foot lease area to be located at
an existing sports park. The City’s Wireless Communications Facilities
code allows for stand alone wireless communication facilities in all
recreational and Open Space zones when concealed or disguised.
In addition, the project is consistent with the following City of Menifee
General Plan policies:

Appeal No. 2019-051 – “Conditional Use Permit No. 2018-078”
Page 3 of 6
Utilities and Infrastructure
• LU-3.2 Work with utility providers to increase service capacity as
demand increases.
The project proposes a wireless communication facility that will be
concealed as a 70’ clock tower. The addition of this wireless
communication facility will aide in closing an existing coverage gap
that the carrier is currently experiencing.
Project Design
• CD-3.3 Minimize visual impacts of public and private facilities and
support structures through sensitive site design and construction. This
includes, but is not limited to: appropriate placement of facilities; undergrounding, where possible; and aesthetic design (e.g., cell tower
stealthing).
The project proposes a stealth wireless communication facility that will
be concealed as a 70’ clock tower and attached to the existing multi-
purpose building on-site. The proposed location of the tower interior to
the site and attached to the existing main building minimizes the
potential visual impacts of the tower. The proposed clock tower also
includes quality architectural features consistent with the existing
building on-site.
Building Design
• CD-3.11 Provide special building-form elements, such as towers
and archways, and other building massing elements to help
distinguish activity nodes and establish landmarks within the community
The proposed project includes a wireless communication facility that
will be concealed as a clock tower which will, by default, also act as a
landmark for the community.
Consistency with the 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, and the project area is developed/disturbed.
The project would be subject to the payment of fees consistent with
Riverside County Ordinance No. 810.2 as adopted by the City of Menifee.
Therefore, the project would not conflict with the provisions of the adopted
DocuSign Envelope ID: A5ECF6CF-1D9C-45A1-8CDE-CFF7F5729199
Appeal No. 2019-051 – “Conditional Use Permit No. 2018-078”
Page 4 of 6
HCP, Natural Conservation Community Plan, or other approved local,
regional, or State conservation plan and the impact is considered less
than significant.
Therefore, the project is consistent with the General Plan, and applicable
General Plan objectives, policies, and programs.
Section 2: Consistency with the Zoning Code. The project is consistent with the zone designation Map, and applicable development standards within the zone
designation:
The zoning classification of the project site is Specific Plan as the subject
site is located within Planning Area 2-2 of SP #158. As mentioned above,
Planning Area 2-2 is designated as Sports Park which allows a variety of
active recreational uses. The proposed Project would consist of a
wireless communications facility concealed as a 70’ clock tower that will
be attached to the existing main building at the subject site. The Project
also proposes a 715 square foot lease area that will enclose the
supporting equipment for the facility. The Project is proposed at an
existing sports park within the City. Chapter 9.08 of the City’s Municipal
Code, Siting of Wireless Communications Facilities, allows for stand
alone wireless communication facilities in all recreational and Open
Space zones when concealed or disguised. The proposed project is
consistent with all applicable development standards and regulations
found within SP #158 and Chapter 9.08.
The zoning of parcels surrounding the subject site includes the Menifee
Village Specific Plan to the north, east and west and the One-Family
Dwellings zone to the south. The proposed project, a wireless
communications facility concealed as a clock tower, is compatible with the
surrounding zoning.
Section 3: Surrounding Uses. Approval of the application will not create conditions
materially detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare or injurious to or incompatible with other properties or land uses in the
project vicinity.
The use is compatible with and provides adequate buffering from
adjacent uses. The proposed wireless communication facility would be
located at an existing 26.87 acre sports park that is surrounded by
existing residences and vacant land to the north, south and east of the
site. The existing Bell Mountain Middle School and Mount San Jacinto
Community College are located directly to the west of the subject site.
Although there are existing residences in the vicinity of the proposed
project, the nearest residence is located more than 500 feet away from
the proposed facility’s location. In addition, the facility would be fully
concealed as a clock tower with antennas located inside the tower
structure and associated ground equipment fully screened by a walled
enclosure. The exterior of the clock tower has been designed in such a
manner where the tower will be consistent with the architecture of the
existing main building.

Appeal No. 2019-051 – “Conditional Use Permit No. 2018-078”
Page 5 of 6
The City Municipal Code states that facilities shall not be situated
between the primary building on a parcel and any public or private street
adjoining the parcel, so as to avoid creating a negative visual impact.
The tower is proposed to be attached to the rear of the existing main
building, over 400 feet away from the site’s street frontage and directly
behind the main building at the site so that it appears to be an attached
clock tower. As such, the facility will not be situated between the primary
building and Menifee Road.
The applicant shall obtain all required Building Permits from the City’s
Building and Safety Department. The proposed Project has been
reviewed and conditioned as necessary by the City of Menifee
Engineering, Building and Safety, and Fire Prevention Departments and
Riverside County Information Technology (RCIT) Department, and
Department Environmental Health. Therefore, the Project will 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 vicinity.
Section 4: Compliance with CEQA. Processing and approval of the permit
application are in compliance with the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act.
The proposed conditional use permit for a new wireless communications
facility has been determined to be Categorically Exempt (“New
Construction or Conversion of Small Structures”) under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and CEQA Guidelines, Section 15303.
This section consists of an exemption for the construction and location of
limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures; installation of small
new equipment and facilities in small structures; and the conversion of
existing small structures from one use to another where only minor
modifications are made in the exterior of the structure. More specifically,
subsection (c) of Categorical Exemption 15303 exempts a store, motel,
office, restaurant or similar structure not involving the use of significant
amounts of hazardous substances, and not exceeding 2500 square feet
in floor area. In urbanized areas, the exemption also applies to up to four
(4) such commercial buildings not exceeding 10,000 square feet in floor
area on sites zoned for such use if not involving the use of significant
amounts of hazardous substances where all necessary public services
and facilities are available and the surrounding area is not
environmentally sensitive. The proposed project is an application for the
addition of a new stealth wireless communication facility, concealed as a
clock tower, which will be attached to the existing multi-purpose building
located at the subject site. The proposed clock tower is a structure similar
to a store, motel, office or restaurant, the project does not involve
significant amounts of hazardous substances and does not exceed 2,500
square feet in floor area as the project only includes roughly 1,115 square
feet of floor area (clock tower and lease area combined). Therefore, the
project is exempt per Section 15303, “New Construction or Conversion of
Small Structures,” of the CEQA Guidelines.

30. Rules for Construction Activities. The applicant shall adhere to the Best
Available Control Measures (BACMs). SCAQMD Rules that are currently
applicable during construction activity for the project include, but are not limited to:
Rule 1113 (Architectural Coatings); Rule 431.2 (Low Sulfur Fuel); Rule 403
(Fugitive Dust); and Rule 1186 / 1186.1 (Street Sweepers). The specific Rule 403
regulatory requirements that are applicable to the project are as follows:
a. All clearing, grading, earth-moving, or excavation activities shall cease when
winds exceed 25 mph per SCAQMD guidelines in order to limit fugitive dust
emissions.
b. The contractor shall ensure that all disturbed unpaved roads and disturbed
areas within the project are watered at least three times daily during dry
weather. Watering, with complete coverage of disturbed areas, shall occur at
least three times a day, preferably in the midmorning, afternoon, and after work
is done for the day. Implementation of this measure is estimated to reduce
PM10 and PM2.5 fugitive dust emissions by approximately 61%.
c. The contractor shall ensure that traffic speeds on unpaved roads and project
site areas are reduced to 15 miles per hour or less to reduce PM10 and PM2.5
fugitive dust haul road emissions by approximately 44%.
31. Airport Influence Area. The project site is located within an Airport Influence Area.
Therefore, the following conditions apply (Per General Plan Implementation Action
LU-23):
a. The following uses shall be prohibited:
DocuSign Envelope ID: A5ECF6CF-1D9C-45A1-8CDE-CFF7F5729199
i. Any use which would direct a steady light or flashing light of red, white,
green or amber colors associated with airport operations toward an
aircraft engaged in an initial straight climb following takeoff or toward
an aircraft engaged in a straight final approach toward a landing at an
airport, other than an FAA-approved navigational signal light or visual
approach slope indicator.
ii. Any use which would cause sunlight to be reflected towards an aircraft
engaged in an initial straight climb following takeoff or towards an
aircraft engaged in a straight final approach towards a landing at an
