and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the
City of Menifee makes the following Findings:
Section 1: Plot Plan Findings of Approval
Finding 1 - The proposed design and location of the Plot Plan is consistent with the
adopted General Plan and any applicable specific plan.
On October 1, 2008, the City of Menifee incorporated. On December 18,
2013, the City Council adopted a comprehensive General Plan for the
City, including Goals and Policies for safe and responsible growth and
development within the community. On November 4, 2015, the City
Council adopted Ordinance No. 2015-180, establishing the Economic
IS/MND for Mapes and Sherman Commerce Center PLN22-0015
June 14, 2023
Development Corridor (EDC) chapter of the Development Code; the
EDC designation is intended to provide economic vitality and flexibility in
land use options to promote economic development along major
corridors.
Since 2013, the General Plan Land Use designation of the Project site
has been Economic Development Corridor — Northern Gateway (EDC-
NG) and the land uses allowed have been the same as well. The
General Plan Land Use and Zoning designation of the site is Economic
Development Corridor — Northern Gateway (EDC-NG). The Northern
Gateway is envisioned as an employment center at the City's northern
gateway that focuses on providing opportunity for business park
development and more traditional industrial (less office) than envisioned
for other EDC areas. Industrial and related uses including
warehousing/distribution, assembly and light manufacturing, repair
facilities, and business parks, including corporate offices are
encouraged, while employee -intensive uses, including research and
development, technology centers, "clean" industry, and supporting hotel
and ancillary retail uses are also permitted.
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 in close proximity (approximately 1/4 mile) to
the 1-215 freeway Ethanac Road interchange. The location is well
suited for industrial development to promote easily accessible routes
for employees and delivery personnel and the location helps
concentrate activity and development near the major transit corridors
of the city as opposed to the rural areas or traveling through
residential areas.
• ED-1.2: Diversify the local economy and create a balance of
employment opportunities across skill and education levels, wages
and salaries, and industries and occupations.
The proposed project will expand the local economy and provide
increased employment opportunities for local residents.
• CD-3.12: Utilize differing but complementary forms of architectural
styles and designs that incorporate representative characteristics of a
given area.
The proposed project adheres to the City's Zoning Code, Design
Guidelines, and Good Neighbor Policies. The applicant has worked
with the city to ensure that the project provides quality architecture
that helps establish a sense of place. This is done by providing a
variety of architectural elements, paying attention to massing and
Page 2 of 5
IS/MND for Mapes and Sherman Commerce Center PLN22-0015
June 14, 2023
articulation, a wide selection of materials and colors, windows, door
and entries and landscaping that complements the building design.
• CD-3.14 Provide variations in color, texture, materials, articulation,
and architectural treatments. Avoid long expanses of blank,
monotonous walls or fences.
The architecture of the Project incorporates varied colors, recesses,
material changes, varied roof lines, wall plane changes, accent
materials, and other architectural treatments that break up wall areas
to avoid any long expanses of blank, monotonous walls. Screen walls
have also been designed to incorporate architectural elements from
the building for compatibility. Additionally, densely landscaped
parkways are proposed to reduce the visual height of the walls from
the public right of way and to provide a visually pleasing street scene.
For these reasons, the Plot Plan is consistent with the City's General Plan
objectives, policies, and programs.
Finding 2 - The proposed project meets all applicable standards for development and
provisions of this title.
The Plot Plan is for the site and architectural review, to allow for the
construction of one 277,578 square foot concreate tilt -up building on
13.34 gross acres. The proposed Project meets all applicable standards
of development and operation of the City's Zoning Code (Title 9),
including but not limited to, parking requirements, setbacks, landscape
coverage, floor area ratio (FAR) and height requirements of the EDC-NG
zone. Moreover, the project was reviewed against and meets all the
regulations in the Citywide Design Guidelines, including the Industrial
Good Neighbor Policies.
Furthermore, the surrounding zoning designations within the City of
Menifee are also EDC-NG to the south and west. As detailed above, the
EDC-NG is intended to be an industrial business park, consisting of
industrial related uses including warehousing/distribution, assembly and
light manufacturing, repair facilities, and business park uses. Therefore,
the proposed design and location of the Plot Plan meets all applicable
standards of development and operation of the City's Zoning Code,
including any applicable specific use regulations.
Finding 3 - The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the proposed project will
not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons
residing or working in the neighborhood of such use or to the general
welfare of the City.
The Project has been reviewed by a variety of Departments to ensure
compliance with applicable regulations, including, but not limited to City of
Menifee Building and Safety, Engineering, Public Works, and Community
Development, Riverside County Fire, and Riverside County
Page 3 of 5
IS/MND for Mapes and Sherman Commerce Center PLN22-0015
June 14, 2023
Environmental Health. These Departments have also provided conditions
of approval as appropriate to ensure compliance with applicable
regulations.
The Project incorporates quality architecture and landscaping which will
enhance the area. Environmental impacts resulting from the Project have
been analyzed in an IS/MND. The IS/MND determined that potential
impacts, would all be less than significant with the necessary mitigation
incorporated. Therefore, the Project 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 2: Compliance with CEQA. Processing and approval of the permit
application are in compliance with the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act.
The City of Menifee Community Development Department has determined the above
project will not have a significant effect on the environment with incorporation of
standard conditions of approval and mitigation measures (as listed in the IS/MND and
MMRP) and has recommended adoption of the IS/MND. The twenty -day public review
period for the IS/MND occurred from May 15, 2023, to June 5, 2023.
NOW THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of Menifee hereby approves
the following:
1. That the Planning Commission determine that the "Findings" set out above are
true and correct.
2. That the Planning Commission determine that the IS/MND has been completed
for the Project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, State
and local CEQA guidelines.
3. That the Planning Commission, pursuant to a separate resolution, finds that the
facts presented within the public record provide the basis to approve the IS/MND
which has been completed for the project.
4. That the Planning Commission finds that the facts presented within the public
record and within the resolution provide the basis to approve Plot Plan No.
PLN22-0015 and that the Planning Commission approve said entitlements.
5. The documents and materials that constitute the record of proceedings on which
this resolution has been based are located at the Community Development
Department — Planning Division, 29844 Haun Road, Menifee, CA 92586. This
information is provided in compliance with Public Resources Code section

PALEONTOLOGY
34. Paleontologist Required. This site is mapped as having a high potential for
paleontological resources (fossils) at shallow depth. Therefore, PRIOR TO
ISSUANCE OF GRADING PERMITS:
The permittee shall retain a qualified paleontologist approved by the City of Menifee
to create and implement a project -specific plan for monitoring site
grading/earthmoving activities (project paleontologist).
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:
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
Page 14 of 61
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.
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 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.

78. Site Drainage - Positive drainage of the site shall be provided, and water shall not be
allowed to pond behind or flow over cut and fill slopes. Where water is collected and
discharged in a common area, protection of the native soils shall be provided by
planting erosion resistant vegetation, as the native soils are susceptible to erosion by
running water. All cut and fill slopes shall have a maximum 2:1 (H:V) grade, 2 horizontal
to 1 vertical.
79. Alteration of Drainage Patterns — Prior to grading permit issuance or approval of
improvement plans, the final engineering plans submitted by the applicant shall
address the following: The project drainage system shall be designed to accept and
properly convey all on- and off -site drainage flowing on or through the site. The project
drainage system design shall protect downstream properties from any damage caused
by alteration of drainage patterns such as concentration or diversion of flow.
Concentrated drainage shall be diverted through parkway drains under sidewalks.
80. Coordinate Drainage Design - Development of this property shall be coordinated with
the development of adjacent properties to ensure that watercourses remain
unobstructed, and stormwaters are not diverted from one watershed to another. This
may require the construction of temporary drainage facilities or offsite construction and
grading. A drainage easement shall be obtained from the affected property owners for
the release of concentrated or diverted storm flows. A copy of the recorded drainage
easement shall be submitted to the Public Works / Engineering Department for review.
81. 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.
82. Trash Racks — Trash Racks shall be installed at all inlet structures that collect runoff
from open areas with potential for large, floatable debris.
83. Perpetuate Drainage Patterns - The property's street and building pad grading shall
be designed in a manner that perpetuates the existing natural drainage patterns
with respect to tributary drainage areas, outlet points and outlet conditions. Otherwise,
a drainage easement shall be obtained from the affected property owners for the
release of concentrated or diverted storm flows. A copy of the recorded drainage
easement shall be submitted to the City for review and approval.
Page 27 of 61
84. Perpetual Drainage Patterns (Easements) - Grading shall be designed in a manner
that perpetuates the existing natural drainage patterns and conditions with respect to
tributary drainage areas and outlet points. Where these conditions are not preserved,
necessary drainage easements shall be obtained from all affected property owners for
the release onto their properties of concentrated or diverted storm flows. A copy of the
recorded drainage easement shall be submitted to the Public Works / Engineering
Department for review.
85. Protection of Downstream Properties - The developer / property owner shall protect
downstream properties from damages that can be caused by alteration of natural

by constructing adequate drainage facilities including enlarging existing facilities and
securing necessary drainage easements.
86. Easement for MDP Line B - The proposed development is located within the bounds
of the Homeland / Romoland Area Drainage Plan of the Riverside County Flood Control
and Water Conservation District (Flood Control District). The Flood Control District's
current Area Drainage Plan includes Line B along the project's southern property line.
Line B is currently proposed as an earthen trap channel; however, it would be changed
to an underground box culvert along the site boundary given the proposed site
configuration. The Flood Control District requires an easement be recorded on the
southern portion of the property for the future box culvert. The easement would
additionally prohibit placement or maintenance of buildings, planter boxes, stockpiling
or earth fill, or other structures (except walls and fences). The Flood Control District is
reviewing alternate alignments for Line B, including a revision to a north/south
alignment along Sherman Road. If this alternate alignment is approved by the District,
the easement along the project's southern boundary will not be required.

Study and has generally concurred with its findings. The developer / property owner
shall be responsible for all improvements and mitigations, required or identified in the
approved traffic study and according to these Conditions of Approval, such as but not
limited to right-of-way frontage improvements, traffic signal construction or
modification, and fair share fees. All required improvements and mitigation measures
identified in the study shall be included in all improvement plans for review and approval
by the Public Works Department. Improvements identified in the Traffic Study are the
absolute minimums recommended by the consultant traffic engineer. The Public Works
Director / City Engineer may require traffic or street improvements beyond those
identified in said study to address public safety and welfare, or to construct
improvements eligible for DIF credits or reimbursement that front the project, as
determined by the Public Works Director / City Engineer.
95. Reconstruction or Resurfacing of Frontage Roads — The Public Works Director /
City Engineer may consider reconstruction or resurfacing of Mapes Road and Sherman
Road paving fronting the development to meet existing conditions, provided the road is
found to meet the minimum City standards for pavement conditions at the time of
project construction. If it is determined during project construction that the existing road
is found to be substandard, then the Public Works Director / City Engineer will require
the developer / property owner to provide full reconstruction as provided for in these
conditions of approval. The existing pavement shall be confirmed with as -built plans or
cored during project construction to confirm the structural section, and any findings
shall be incorporated into project design. The Public Works Director / City Engineer
shall have the final approval for all road conditions.
96. Street Improvements — Street improvements shall conform to all applicable City
Design Standards and Specifications, the City General Plan, and all other relevant
laws, rules and regulations governing street construction in the City.
97. Soils and Pavement Design - Street pavement structural designs shall comply with
the recommendations in the City approved project soils and pavement investigation
report, and must meet minimum City standards and specifications, as approved by the
Public Works Director / City Engineer. R-Value testing of representative soils are
required for pavement design calculations and structural sections that are to be shown
on the construction plans. Subsequent R-Value testing shall be performed for final
pavement section design and approval after grading is complete and wet utilities
installed and backfilled.
98. Driveways - Final driveway geometrics may be modified in final engineering as
approved by the Public Works Director / City Engineer. Driveways shall meet current
standard radii on all existing and proposed commercial drive approaches used as
access to the proposed development. The developer shall adhere to all City standards

Page 30 of 61
99. Paving or Paving Repairs — The applicant shall be responsible for obtaining the
paving inspections required by City of Menifee standards and ordinances. Paving
and/or paving repairs for utility street cuts shall be per City of Menifee Standards and
Specifications and as approved by the Public Works Director / City Engineer.
100. Signing and Striping — A signing and striping plan for Mapes Road and Sherman
Road is required for this project along the project frontage and off -site transitions to
existing striping. The applicant shall be responsible for any additional paving and/or
striping removal caused by the striping plan. The Signing and Striping Plan shall be
approved by the Public Works Director / City Engineer in accordance with City
ordinances, standards, and specifications, and with the latest edition of the CAMUTCD.
The Signing and striping plans shall be designed to restrict turning movements at
designated project entrances. A raised median will be required along Mapes Road.
101. Construction of Street and Wet Utility Improvements — The developer / property
owner shall design and construct the following improvements:
a. On -Site Improvements - Construct all street, storm, sewer, water, park, and
wall improvements to public agency engineering standards. Although the
streets will be private, all infrastructure improvements shall adhere to public
agency standards, unless otherwise approved by the Public Works Director /
City Engineer.
b. Frontage Improvements Mapes Road — The developer / property owner shall
construct Mapes Road to its ultimate half -width plus 12 feet past the centerline
to current City Standards along its entire project frontage as determined by the
Public Works Director / City Engineer. Mapes Road is classified as a Major 4
Lane Divided roadway with a raised median per the City's Circulation Element.
The required improvements shall include the construction of appropriate
pavement transitions from the new improvements to existing improvements
beyond the project frontage. The design of the transitions shall be in accordance
with the California Highway Design Manual, finalized during review of final
construction drawings, and approved by the Public Works Director / City
Engineer.
c. Mapes Raised Median — The developer / property owner shall construct a
raised median on Mapes Road along the project frontage as approved by the
Public Works Director / City Engineer. Mapes road currently has two west-
bound lanes within the City of Perris. The proposed improvements to Mapes
Road shall retain the two westbound lanes as required by the City of Menifee's
General Plan Circulation Element. The developer / project owner is not required
to relocate the existing curb and gutter on the north side of the Mapes Road,
provided they can provide an acceptable design to accommodate the required
lane geometrics.
The proposed raised median would include a break for full access to the
western driveway (Driveway #1 in the Traffic Study), with a relatively short
section of raised median at the western end of the project frontage. This median
would be designed to line up with the median constructed by the parcel to the
west. If the parcel to the west develops first, this project would build a median
along their entire frontage. If this project develops first, the developer / property
Page 31 of 61
owner of this project may pay an in -lieu of fee for the segment of median west
of Driveway #1 so that the median can be constructed in conjunction with
development of the parcel to the west.
The northern half of Mapes Road (north of centerline) is within the City of Perris.
As such, the developer is responsible to obtain approval and permits from the
City of Perris to perform traffic control and construct improvements north of
Mapes Road centerline. Perris' General Plan road section for Mapes Road
differs from the City of Menifee's Standards for requiring raised medians; in that
Perris only requires painted medians. The project proposes restricted turning
movements at the eastern driveway on Mapes Road (Driveway #2 in the Traffic
Study) which warrants raised medians per City of Menifee Standards to prevent
illegal turning movements. Developer shall endeavor to obtain approval and
necessary permits from the City of Perris to install raised medians on the north
side of the centerline and the required tie-in to existing pavement (typically 2'
min.) where applicable. If Perris is unable to allow the installation of raised curbs
within their jurisdiction due to constraints from their General Plan or City
Standards, then the developer will pay its fair share contribution to the City of
Menifee for the future construction of the raised median or construct a modified
median as approved by City Engineer / Public Works Director.
d. Frontage Improvements Sherman Road — The developer / property owner
shall construct Sherman Road to its ultimate half -width plus at least 12 feet past
the centerline to current City Standards along its entire project frontage as
determined by the Public Works Director / City Engineer. Sherman Road is
classified as an Industrial Collector roadway per the City's Circulation Element.
The required improvements shall include the construction of appropriate
pavement transitions from the new improvements to existing improvements
beyond the project frontage. The design of the transitions shall be in accordance
with the California Highway Design Manual, finalized during review of final
construction drawings, and approved by the Public Works Director / City
Engineer.
e. Sherman Road Painted Median — The developer / property owner shall
construct Sherman Road to include a painted median along the road centerline
and a northbound travel lane. To provide the necessary lanes, additional
pavement on the east side of Sherman Road will be required along with removal
of existing trees within the right-of-way that conflict with the proposed
pavements.
102. Cost participation through Payment of TUMF and DIF for Offsite Improvements -
The developer / property owner's TUMF and DIF payment obligations shall be
considered as cost participation for Project's required offsite improvements only when
the offsite improvements for which credits are claimed, are eligible TUMF and/or DIF
facilities at time of TUMF and DIF payments.
103. Future RBBD Payment — The City is in the process of creating a Road and Bridge
Benefit District for the area. The developer / property owner shall pay applicable fees
for roadway improvements contained in the- project -for an RBBD which are analyzed
Page 32 of 61
to be utilized by project traffic in the project Traffic Study prior to issuance of a building
permit created prior--ta-oc�raupany-of-the-building-not to exceed $15,000 (per gross
acre). (Added by the Planning Commission on June 14, 2023)
104. Area Drainage Plan (ADP) Fees — The proposed development is located within the
bounds of the Homeland / Romoland ADP of the Riverside County Flood Control and
Water Conservation District (Flood Control District), for which drainage fees have been
established by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors. Applicable ADP fees will be
due (in accordance with the Rules and Regulations for Administration of Area Drainage
Plans) prior to issuance of a grading permit. The fee will be based on the fee in effect
at the time of payment.
105. Easement for Flood Control District Line B — Prior to issuance of a Building Permit,
the developer / property owner shall record an easement in favor of Riverside County
Flood Control and Water Conservation District for future construction of Line B along
the southern boundary of the Warehouse parcels. The easement shall be submitted to
the Flood Control District for review and approval prior to recordation. The Flood
Control District is reviewing alternate alignments for Line B, including a revision to a
north/south alignment along Sherman Road. If this alternate alignment is approved by
the District prior to issuance of any building permit, the easement along the project's
southern boundary will not be required.
106. Fair Share Cost Participation for Off -site Improvements — The developer / property
owner shall pay fair share costs for off -site improvements as detailed in the Traffic
Study and identified below prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy. The fair share
cost estimates shall be based on conceptual exhibits prepared by the developer,
reviewed and approved by the Public Works Director / City Engineer. Fair share
payments are due prior to issuance of any certificate of occupancy. These fair shares
are determined as follows:
