Section 1: The City of Menifee's Planning Commission hereby makes the following
findings for Tentative Tract Map No. 37450 (PLN21-0361) in accordance
with Title 7, Article 2, Chapter 7.20.090 "Findings for Approval for Tentative
Maps" of the City of Menifee Subdivision Code:
Finding 1 - The proposed subdivision and the design and improvements of the
subdivision is consistent with the Development Code, General Plan,
any applicable specific plan, and the Menifee Municipal Code.
TTM No. 37450 (PLN21-0361)
July 26, 2023
The project site has a General Plan Land Use Designation of 2.1-5 du/ac
and Rural Residential 5 acre minimum. The intent of the designation
established in the General Plan is residential development within the 2.1 to 5
dwelling units per acre density range. The intent of the Rural Residential 5
acre minimum designation is to have one home per every 5 acres however,
due to this designation only comprising of a small portion of the southwest
corner of the project, this area will remain as vacant open space and include
a mixture of HOA maintained landscaping and natural vegetation. The
project is proposed at a density of 3.87 dwelling units per acre which is
consistent with the General Plan land use designations and with the
surrounding community.
The Project is consistent with the following City of Menifee General Plan
policy:
• LU-1.8: Ensure new development is carefully designed to avoid or
incorporate natural features, including washes, creeks and hillsides.
The majority of the project site is designated as 2.1-5 du/acre in the
General plan and is intended for single family residential tract
developments, however a small, sloped portion of the southwest corner
is designated as Rural Residential 5 acre minimum intended for larger
rural residential properties with one residential unit per 5 acres. The
proposed development leaves this Rural Residential 5-acre minimum
portion of the project site as vacant natural open space and an HOA
maintained landscaped area to preserve the rural natural hillside feature.
• 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.
The subdivision is conditioned to improve Garbani Road and Sherman
Road along the project frontage which will increase the accessibility for
residents within the project to the future Grabani Road on/off ramps
planned on the 215 freeway.
• 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 Garbani Road, Sherman Road, and internal tract streets, which
are consistent with the City's General Plan and the City's Public Works
and Engineering Department Standard Details.
• Policy CD- 1.3 Strengthen the identity of individual
neighborhoods/communities with entry monuments, flags, street signs,
and/or special tree streets, landscaping, and lighting.
The project will include special street trees at the entries off Garbani
Road. The conceptual landscape plan includes the entire tract to provide
Page 2 of 6
TTM No. 37450 (PLN21-0361)
July 26, 2023
a consistent and unique landscape plan for the entire community.
Monument signage is proposed the first entrance off of Sherman Road.
Consistency with the Zoning Code. The Tentative Tract Map is consistent
with the zone designation map.
The Project site is zoned Low Density Residential-2 (LDR-2) and Rural
Residential 5 acre minimum (RR5). The Tentative Tract Map proposes to
subdivide the project area into 33 single family lots. Additional lots are
proposed for open space areas, and internal roads. The minimum lot size
required is 7,200 square feet.
Staff has reviewed and conditioned the subdivision for consistency with
subdivision ordinance requirements for lot sizes and dimensions, streets,
domestic water, fire protection, sewage disposal, and other applicable
requirements. The subdivision is consistent with the development code and
the Subdivision Ordinance requirements.
The project meets or exceeds all of the municipal code requirements such
as minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet, minimum lot width of 40 feet, and
minimum lot depth of 90 feet.
Finding 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 entered into pursuant to
the California Land Conservation Act of 1965.
Finding 3 - The site is physically suitable for the type of development and the
proposed land use of the development.
The site is bounded by residential developments to the north, vacant land to
the east and west and an existing single-family home to the south. The site
does contain a small slope on the southwest corner of the project site that
would be incompatible with the proposed development however, the
applicant has proposed to leave this lot as a natural open space and an
HOA maintained landscaped lot instead of proposing a single family home.
Additionally, the site has been designed to be physically suitable to
accommodate the development with the proposed number of lots as well as
all other proposed improvements. Therefore, the site is considered
physically suitable for the type of development and the proposed land use of
the site.
The Project has been reviewed by the different Departments to ensure
compliance with applicable regulations, including, but not limited to City of
Menifee Building and Safety, Engineering and Public Works, and Riverside
County Fire. These Departments have also provided conditions of approval
as appropriate to ensure compliance with applicable regulations.

TTM No. 37450 (PLN21-0361)
July 26, 2023
Finding 4 - The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements, with
conditions of approval, are either:
1. Not 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.
The Tentative Tract Map will not result in conditions detrimental to the public
health, safety, or general welfare as designed and conditioned. An initial
study and mitigated negative declaration was prepared for TTM 37450 and
no significant impacts were identified with incorporation of standard
conditions of approval and mitigation measures (as listed in the Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program). The map has been reviewed and
conditioned by the City of Menifee Community Development, Engineering,
Building and Safety and Fire Departments to ensure that it will not create
conditions materially detrimental to the surrounding uses.
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 Stephen's
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 MSHCP; however,
the Project is not located within a Criteria Cell or Cell Group. The project will
be subject to the payment of fees consistent with Menifee Municipal Code
Chapter 17.03 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.
Finding 5 - The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements are not
likely to cause serious public health problems.
The public health, safety and general welfare are protected through project
design, conditions of approval, and mitigation measures. The project site is
surrounded by existing single-family residences to the north and south along
with vacant residential land to the east, and commercial/mixed use vacant
land 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, nor will be
detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare or incompatible
with other properties or land uses in the project vicinity.

TTM No. 37450 (PLN21-0361)
July 26, 2023
Finding 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.
The project will be consistent with the development code and the
requirements of California Code of Regulations of Title 24, including
requirements for energy efficiency, thermal insulation, and solar panels.
Finding 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. Therefore, no conflicts with easements will
occur with the design of the subdivision.
Finding 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.
NOW, THEREFORE, The Planning Commission of the City of Menifee makes the
following findings:
1. That the Findings set out above are true and correct.
2. That the facts presented within the public record and within this resolution
provide a basis to approve Tentative Tract Map No. 37450 subject to the
Conditions of Approval set forth in Exhibit "A" to this Resolution.
3. Resolution Regarding Custodian of Record: The documents and materials
that constitute the record of proceedings on which this Resolution has been

remains.
iv. 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.
v. 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.
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
Page 9 of 77
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.

mitigation measures required during construction, as applicable.
Page 13 of 77
2) 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.
3) 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.
4) If fossil remains are encountered by earthmoving activities when the project
paleontologist is not on -site, these activities will be diverted around the fossil site and
the project paleontologist called to the site immediately to recover the remains.
5) If fossil remains are found, 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.
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 will then be curated (assigned and labeled with museum repository fossil
specimen numbers and corresponding fossil site numbers, as appropriate; placed in
specimen trays and, if necessary, vials with completed specimen data cards) and
catalogued, and 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 must be
consulted on the repository/museum to receive the fossil material prior to being
curated.
7) 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 City for review and approval prior to final
building inspection as described elsewhere in this condition set. 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 office of the City Community Development Department along with a copy of this
condition and the grading plan for appropriate case processing and tracking.

basins must have positive drainage; dead storage basins shall not be
acceptable.
A complete drainage study including, but not limited to, hydrologic and hydraulic
calculations for the proposed detention basin shall be submitted to the City for
review and approval. For design purposes, the proposed detention basin shall be
sized using the 6-hour/100-year frequency storm event. Detention basin(s) and
outlet(s) sizing will ensure that this storm event does not produce higher peak
discharge in the "after" condition than in the "before" condition. For the 100-year
event, an AMC 11 shall be used together with a constant loss rate.
Low Loss rates will be determined using the following:
i. Undeveloped Condition --> LOW LOSS = 90%
ii. Developed Condition --> LOW LOSS = .9 - (.8x%IMPERVIOUS)
iii. Basin Site --> LOW LOSS = 10%
Where possible and feasible the onsite flows should be mitigated before
combining with offsite flows to minimize the size of the detention facility
required. If it is necessary to combine offsite and onsite flows into a detention
facility two separate conditions should be evaluated for each duration/return
period/before-after development combination studied; the first for the total
tributary area (offsite plus onsite), and the second for the area to be
developed alone (onsite). It must be clearly demonstrated that there is no
increase in peak flow rates under either condition (total tributary area or
onsite alone), for each of the return period/duration combinations required to
be evaluated. A single plot showing the pre -developed, post -developed and
routed hydrographs for each storm considered, shall be included with the
submittal of the hydrology study.
No outlet pipe(s) will be less than 18" in diameter. Where necessary an orifice
plate may be used to restrict outflow rates. Appropriate trash racks shall be
provided for all outlets less than 48" in diameter.
The basin(s) and outlet structure(s) must be capable of passing the 100-year
storm without damage to the facility. Mitigation basins should be designed for
joint use and be incorporated into open space or park areas. Side slopes
should be no steeper than 4: 1 and depths should be minimized where public
access is uncontrolled.
