December 6, 2023
WHEREAS, on December 6, 2023, the City Council held a duly noticed public
hearing on the Project, considered all public testimony as well as all materials in the staff
report and accompanying documents for ZCA No. PLN21-0201 and MJMOD No.
PLN21-0199, which hearing was publicly noticed by a publication in the Press
Enterprise, a newspaper of general circulation, an agenda posting, on -site posting,
notice to property owners within 300 feet of the Project boundaries, and to persons
requesting public notice.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Menifee resolves as follows:
Section 1: The City Council hereby makes the findings listed below for MJMOD No.
PLN21-0199 in accordance with Title 9, Article 2, Chapter 9.30.120(C)(2)(b) and
declares that a major modification shall be processed in the same manner and subject to
the same standards as the original application.
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. 31194 was originally approved by the County of Riverside prior
to the City's incorporation; at the time the project was approved, the
zoning of the site was R-1 — One Family Dwellings, R-4 — Planned
Residential and R-5 — Open Area Combined Development. The Planned
Development Overlay was established by the City in January 2020 to
identify planned development projects ("County Projects") approved by
the City (shortly after incorporation) or the County of Riverside prior to the
City's incorporation and in most cases, the projects contain special
development standards specific to the planned development project. The
Project is identified as a Planned Development by Title 9 of the MCC. The
zoning of the site is currently PDO-5 or PD-5.
The General Plan land use designation for the subject parcels is 2.1-5
du/ac Residential (2.1-5R) and Rural Residential — 5 Acre Minimum
(RR5). Surrounding properties to the north and to the east have a similar
designation, while the properties to the south are designated Rural
Residential '/2 Acre Minimum and 1 Acre Minimum and the properties to
the west are designated Rural Residential — 1 Acre Minimum and Public
Facilities (PF). The intent of the Project's land use designation is for
single-family detached and attached residences with a density range of 2
to 5 dwelling units per acre. The proposed overall density of TTM No.
31194 is 2.69 dwelling units per acre and the proposed density within
Phase 4 is 2.72 dwelling units per acre. The proposed Project would add
79 additional residential lots for a total of 240 compared to the 161
residential lots of the previously approved project. This would increase
the overall number of proposed dwelling units over the entire TTM No.
31194 site (including Phases 1 to 3) from 486 to 552 dwelling units within
the same development footprint.

Resolution MJMOD for TTM No. 31194
December 6, 2023
The proposed Project is consistent with the existing General Plan land
use designation of 2.1-5R as said use is intended to support the
surrounding residential land uses. Furthermore, staff has reviewed and
conditioned the proposed Project for consistency with subdivision
ordinance requirements including, but not limited to, streets, domestic
water, fire protection, sewage disposal, and other applicable
requirements. The subdivision is consistent with the Subdivision
Ordinance requirements.
In addition, the project is consistent with the following City of Menifee
General Plan Policies:
• LU-1.1 Concentrate growth in strategic locations to help preserve
rural areas, create place and identity, provide infrastructure
efficiently, and foster the use of transit options.
The proposed Project is located within an area that is zoned for
residential uses, with existing single-family residential homes to the
north, south, east, and west. The Project would construct
infrastructure and roadways (including a community trail) that would
connect the existing school to the west of the site to other networks
further east. The Project is consistent with this policy as it lends to
the concentration of growth in strategic locations and preserves
rural areas within the City.
• Policy LU-1.5: Support development and land use patterns, where
appropriate, that reduce reliance on the automobile and capitalize
on multimodal transportation opportunities.
The Project proposes site -adjacent roadway improvements
consistent with City of Menifee General Plan cross sections.
Sidewalk and trail improvements developed by the project will be
utilized by pedestrians. Thus, the Project is consistent with this
policy.
• Policy LU-1.7 Ensure neighborhood amenities and public facilities
(natural open space areas, parks, libraries, schools, trails, etc.) are
distributed equitably throughout the City.
The subdivision preserves natural open space, particularly within
the northwesterly portions of the site. The Project also proposes a
community park and a recreation center for use by its residents and
the public. Thus, the Project is consistent with this policy.
• Policy LU-3.4 Require that approval of new development be
contingent upon the project's ability to secure appropriate
infrastructure services.
The subdivision includes Conditions of Approval which require
appropriate infrastructure. In addition, the subdivision has been
reviewed and conditioned for consistency with the requirements for
Page 3 of 9
Resolution MJMOD for TTM No. 31194
December 6, 2023
domestic water, fire protection, sewage disposal, fencing, and
electrical communication facilities.
• Policy C-1.1 Require roadways to: Comply with federal, state and
local design and safety standards.
The Project proposes improvements for roadways, including
Wickerd Road, 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 signs at the primary project entrance, street
signs, coordinated street trees, landscaping throughout the project
site, and streetlamps.
Policy CD-3.1: Preserve positive characteristics and unique features
of a site during the design and development of a new project, the
relationship to scale and character of adjacent uses should be
considered.
As previously stated, the Project proposes to preserve over 41-
acres of natural open space near the northeasterly corner of the
Project site. As such, the Project preserves unique features within
the site.
• Policy C-2.2 Provide off-street multipurpose trails and on -street bike
lanes as our primary paths of citywide travel and explore the shared
use of low -speed roadways for connectivity wherever it is safe to do
so.
The Project will provide an off-street walking trail and sidewalk
improvements throughout the project site and along Wickerd Road
consistent with this policy.
• Policy CD-3.19 Design walls and fences that are well integrated in
style with adjacent structures and terrain and utilize landscaping and
vegetation materials to soften their appearance.
The Project includes landscaping, as well as street trees, which will
soften the appearance of the perimeter and site interior walls. An
increased building setback along the northern side of Wickerd Road
is being proposed as well. The walls that will be visible to the public
will be constructed of decorative masonry block and pilasters which
will be well integrated with the adjacent tracts to the northwest and
northeast which also contain decorative masonry block walls.

Resolution MJMOD for TTM No. 31194
December 6, 2023
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 TTM does not propose to divide land which is subject to 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 proposed density of the Project is consistent with the General plan
and zoning of the subject site with approval of the modifications to the
PDO. The majority of the site is relatively flat with exception of the natural
hillside in the northeast corner that is to be preserved in its natural state.
The Project will provide the necessary drainage, sewer and roadway
infrastructure to the project site and to the greater area. There is an
existing middle school to the west of the site and single family residential
on larger lots in all directions. Single-family residential with similar density
to the proposed Project can be found to the northeast and northwest of
the site. Therefore, given the relatively flat topography of the overall
subject site, preservation of the natural hillside in the northeast corner of
the site and the nature of the development that surrounds the Project, the
site is physically suitable for this type of development and the proposed
density of the development.
Furthermore, the Project has been reviewed by various Departments to
ensure compliance with applicable regulations, including, but not limited
to City of Menifee Building and Safety Division, Engineering Department,
and Office of the Fire Marshal. These Departments have provided
Conditions of Approval as appropriate to ensure compliance with
applicable regulations.
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 or their habitat;
or
2. Subject to an EIR 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 EIR.
Pursuant to CEQA, an EIR for the approved Project was certified by the
County on April 10, 2007. The Certified EIR addressed potential impacts
to the physical environment that would or may occur from implementation
of the approved Project. In the EIR, it was found that with implementation
of mitigation measures, the proposed project would not result in any
Page 5 of 9
Resolution MJMOD for TTM No. 31194
December 6, 2023
significant impacts related to biological resources such as plant and
animal species or their habitat. A Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Plan (MMRP) was prepared and identifies all mitigation measures that will
be required for the project.
The City, as the lead agency under CEQA, has prepared an Addendum to
the Certified EIR to consider environmental impacts associated with
proposed Major Modification and Change of Zone, which would entail
changes to Phase 4 of approved TTM No. 31194 and changes to the
approved zoning code.
Biological reports were conducted to determine sensitive plant and animal
species onsite and applicable mitigation measures included in the EIR
were included for their protection. The EIR also includes additional
reports to determine consistency with the Western Riverside County
Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (WR-MSHCP) such as
riparian/riverine areas, vernal pools, narrow endemic plant species,
burrowing owl, and fairy shrimp. Review and mitigation coordination
occurred with the applicable state and federal wildlife agencies.
The WR-MSHCP does not identify any covered or special -status fish
species as potentially occurring on the Project site. Further, no fish or
hydrogeomorphic features (e.g., perennial creeks, ponds, lakes,
reservoirs) that would provide suitable habitat for fish were observed on
or within the vicinity of the Project site. Therefore, no fish are expected to
occur and are presumed absent from the Project site. In addition, the EIR
discusses amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, and invertebrates. Any
significant impacts associated with biological resources has been
mitigated to less than significant. In addition, standard conditions of
approval pertaining to burrowing owl, nesting birds, Stephen's kangaroo
rat and cultural resources still apply in this case and shall be addressed
as part of standard monitoring in the conditions of approval. As such, the
subdivision will not cause environmental damage or injure fish, wildlife, or
their habitat. Furthermore, jurisdictional permits were obtained by the
project applicant from the appropriate wildlife agencies.
Furthermore, the EIR includes a finding made pursuant to California
Public Resources Code Section 21081 (a)(3) that specific economic,
social, or other considerations make infeasible mitigation measures or
Project alternatives identified in the EIR.
Finding 5 - The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements are not
likely to cause serious public health problems.
The Project will not result in conditions detrimental to the public health,
safety, or general welfare as designed and conditioned. The Project site
is surrounded by single-family residences to the north, east, and west.
Page 6 of 9
Resolution MJMOD for TTIVI No. 31194
December 6, 2023
The Project has been reviewed and conditioned by the City of Menifee
Community Development Department, Engineering Department, Police
Department, and Office of the Fire Marshal to ensure it will not create
conditions materially detrimental to the surrounding uses. In addition,
environmental impacts resulting from the Project have been analyzed in
an EIR and appropriate mitigation measures have been put in place.
Therefore, the proposed subdivision is not anticipated to create conditions
materially detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare or
injurious to or incompatible with other properties or land uses in the
project vicinity.
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
such as solar amenities. Energy efficiency/energy conservation attributes
of the Project would be complemented by increasingly stringent state and
federal regulatory actions addressing enhanced building/utilities energy
efficiencies mandated under California Building Codes (e.g., California
Code of Regulations Title 24, including requirements for energy
efficiency, thermal insulation, and solar panels and California Green
Building Standards Code). Compliance itself with applicable Title 24
standards would ensure that the Project energy demands would not be
inefficient, wasteful, or otherwise unnecessary.
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 to avoid any conflict.
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 subdivision will fulfill Quimby obligations though a combination of the
construction of on -site park space and payment of fees as determined by
the Parks Recreation and Trails Commission (PRTC) and the Community
Services Department. An existing Quimby Agreement is in place for the
approved Project. The developer was required to provide a total of 7.5-
acres of parkland to meet their Quimby obligation under prior City
ordinance. The developer was proposing 5.35-acres of total parkland
across three parks; the developer would pay the city in -lieu fees for the
balance of the Quimby requirement of 2.15-acres at $76,133.00 per acre
(total $163,685.95).
Page 7 of 9
Resolution MJMOD for TTM No. 31194
December 6, 2023
The proposed Project went before the PRTC on February 2, 2023 to
amend the Quimby Agreement due to the proposed changes within
Phase 4. Per the amendment to the Quimby Agreement, the developer
will dedicate a 3-acre public park and a 0.61-acre private recreational
amenity in this area and receive 3.38 acres of credit towards Quimby
fees. The balance of the required park land is 0.32 acres and will be
handled through the payment of in -lieu fees as determined in MMC
Section 7.75.070. The subdivision is consistent with the City's parkland
dedication requirements (per the Quimby Act).

Addendum to the Golden Meadows Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) has been
completed for the Project in accordance with the CEQA, State and local CEQA
guidelines and pursuant to a separate Resolution, finds that the facts presented within

16. Jurisdictional Waters. PDB# 3087 - Jurisdictional delineation; prepared by L & L
Environmental, Inc. 7/28/04; received 8/30/04. A total of 0.86 acres are of federal
jurisdiction and 0.67 acres are of state jurisdiction.
Updated March 2022. The jurisdictional areas identified on the property include
18,814 sq. ft. (0.43 acre) of ephemeral unvegetated CDFW state waters/streambed
(which is also MSHCP Riverine habitat) and 40,451 sq. ft. (0.93 acres) of CDFW
state wetland (which is also MSHCP Riparian habitat). Construction of the proposed
project will impact 9,541 sq. ft. (0.22 acre) of CDFW state water/streambed (which is
also MSHCP Riverine habitat) and 5,702 sq. ft. (0.13 acre) of CDFW state wetland
(which is also MSHCP Riparian habitat). The survey also identified 4,397 sq. ft.
(0.10 acre) of USACE Waters of the U.S., none of which is USACE federal wetland.
The development plan indicates impacts to 1,301 sq. ft. (0.03 acre) of USACE
Waters of the U.S. Remaining jurisdictional areas on the site will be incorporated
into a Compatible Use Area. Regulatory permits from the USACE, Regional Water
Quality Control Board, and CDFW will be required for impacts to jurisdictional areas.

19. Slope Stability Report No. 675. County Slope Stability Report (SSR) No. 675 was
prepared for this project (TR31194) by Leighton and Associates and is entitled:
"Preliminary Geotechnical Evaluation, Proposed Residential Development, Evans
Road and Garbani Road, Menifee Area, Riverside County, California", dated June
27, 2002. In addition, Leighton and Associates submitted the following documents for
this project:
Golden Meadows TTM31194 9
MJMOD & ZCA COAs
a) "Geotechnical Review of Rough Grading Plans, Tract 31194, Menifee, County of
Riverside, California", dated January 30, 2004.
b) "Geotechnical Review Update, Tentative Tract No. 31194, Menifee Area, County
of Riverside, California", dated November 2, 2004.
c) "Preliminary Rock Rippability Investigation, Tract 31194, Menifee, Riverside
County, California", dated November 11, 2004.
d) "Response to County of Riverside Review Comments, Tentative Tract Map No.
31194, Menifee Area, County of Riverside, California", dated February 8, 2005.
These documents are herein incorporated as a part of SSR No. 675.
SSR No. 675 concluded:
a) The proposed 110 foot 2:1 cut slopes are anticipated to be grossly stable from
static and pseudostatic cases.
b) Oversize rock is expected to be generated as a part of site grading. It is
anticipated that the proposed fills are not generally deep enough to
accommodate a significant volume of oversize rock burial below the required
depth of 10 feet below finish grade.
c) The potential for rockfall due to either erosion or seismic ground shaking is
significant along the steep, south and west -sloping hillsides on the eastern
portion of the site.
d) No active or inactive fault traces are known to traverse the site and no evidence
of onsite faulting was observed during this investigation.
e) The potential for liquefaction due to the design earthquake event to affect
structures at this site is low.
f) The potential total seismic densification of the onsite dry to damp alluvial soils
due to the design earthquake event may be on the order of .5 inch. The potential
differential seismic densification may be on the order of .5 inch in 40 feet
laterally.
g) The nearest known active fault and source of the design earthquake is
considered to be the Elsinore Fault Zone, which is located approximately 6.6
miles south of the subject site.
SSR No. 675 recommended:
a) Cut slopes should be observed during grading for unfavorable conditions, which
may require remediation.
b) Nonstructural areas, such as the proposed park, may be overexcavated and
used for burial of oversized rock. Oversized rock should be placed at least 3 feet
below finish grade in nonstructural areas.
c) The potential hazard from individual rocks should be assessed during grading.
Where possible, rockfall hazards should be removed during grading. In the
event that potentially unstable rock cannot be removed, remedial measures
such as catchment areas, rock fences, or setbacks may be required.

purposes. Final approved of SSR No. 675 is hereby granted for planning purposes.
Engineering and other Uniform Building Code parameters where not included as a
part of this review or approval and this approval is not intended, and should not be
misconstrued as approval for grading permit. Additional fieldwork, analysis and
reporting may be required as part of the grading plan application process.
Engineering and other building code parameters will be reviewed and additional
comments and/or conditions may be imposed by the Building and Safety Department
upon application for grading and/or building permits.
20. Design Guidelines. The land divider shall comply with the Citywide Design
Standards and Guidelines, originally adopted on April 15, 2020, and any subsequent
updates.
21. Reclaimed Water. The permittee shall install purple pipes and connect to a
reclaimed water supply for landscape watering purposes when secondary or
reclaimed water is made available to the site as required by Eastern Municipal Water
District.
22. Lighting Hooded/Directed. Any outside lighting shall be hooded and directed so as
not to shine directly upon adjoining property or public rights -of -way.
23. Off Highway Vehicle Use. No off -highway vehicle use shall be allowed on any
parcel or open space area located within the boundaries of this land division map.
24. Human Remains. If human remains are encountered, State Health and Safety Code
Section 7050.5 states that no further disturbance shall occur until the Riverside
County Coroner has made the necessary findings as to origin. Further, pursuant to
Public Resource Code Section 5097.98(b) remains shall be left in place and free
from disturbance until a final decision as to the treatment and disposition has been
made. If the Riverside County Coroner determines the remains to be Native
American, the Native American Heritage Commission shall be contacted within the
period specified by law (24 hours). Subsequently, the Native American Heritage
Commission shall identify the "most likely descendant." The most likely descendant
shall then make recommendations and engage in consultation concerning the
treatment of the remains as provided in Public Resources Code Section 5097.98.
25. Non -Disclosure of Location Reburials. It is understood by all parties that unless
otherwise required by law, the site of any reburial of Native American human remains
or associated grave goods shall not be disclosed and shall not be governed by public
disclosure requirements of the California Public Records Act. The Coroner, pursuant
to the specific exemption set forth in California Government Code 6254 (r)., parties,
and Lead Agencies, will be asked to withhold public disclosure information related to
such reburial, pursuant to the specific exemption set forth in California Government
Code 6254 (r).
26. 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,
Golden Meadows TTM31194 11
MJMOD & ZCA COAs
but may include fewer artifacts if the area of the find is determined to be of
significance due to its sacred or cultural importance as determined in consultation
with the Native American Tribe(s).
a) All ground disturbance activities within 100 feet of the discovered cultural
resources shall be halted until a meeting is convened between the developer,
the archaeologist, the tribal representative(s) and the Community Development
Director to discuss the significance of the find.
b) At the meeting, the significance of the discoveries shall be discussed and after
consultation with the tribal representative(s) and the archaeologist, a decision
shall be made, with the concurrence of the Community Development Director,
as to the appropriate mitigation (documentation, recovery, avoidance, etc.) for
the cultural resources.
c) Grading of further ground disturbance shall not resume within the area of the
discovery until an agreement has been reached by all parties as to the
appropriate mitigation. Work shall be allowed to continue outside of the buffer
area and will be monitored by additional Tribal monitors if needed.
d) Treatment and avoidance of the newly discovered resources shall be consistent
with the Cultural Resources Management Plan and Monitoring Agreements
entered into with the appropriate tribes. This may include avoidance of the
cultural resources through project design, in -place preservation of cultural
resources located in native soils and/or re -burial on the Project property so they
are not subject to further disturbance in perpetuity as identified in Non -
Disclosure of Reburial Condition.
e) If the find is determined to be significant and avoidance of the site has not been
achieved, a Phase III data recovery plan shall be prepared by the project
archeologist, in consultation with the Tribe, and shall be submitted to the City for
their review and approval prior to implementation of the said plan.
f) Pursuant to Calif. Pub. Res. Code § 21083.2(b) avoidance is the preferred
method of preservation for archaeological resources and cultural resources. If
the landowner and the Tribe(s) cannot agree on the significance or the
mitigation for the archaeological or cultural resources, these issues will be
presented to the City Community Development Director for decision. The City
Community Development Director shall make the determination based on the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act with respect to
archaeological 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."
27. 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:
Golden Meadows TTM31194 12
MJMOD & ZCA COAs
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.

encountered. Earthmoving activities may be diverted to other areas of the site.
b) The applicant shall retain a qualified paleontologist approved by the County of
Riverside.
c) The paleontologist shall determine the significance of the encountered fossil
remains.
d) 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
Golden Meadows TTM31194 13
MJMOD & ZCA COAs
reduce monitoring once he/she determines the probability of encountering any
additional fossils has dropped below an acceptable level.
e) 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.
f) Any recovered fossil remains will be prepared to the point of identification and
identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible by knowledgeable
paleontologists. The remains then will be curated (assigned and labeled with
museum* repository fossil specimen numbers and corresponding fossil site
numbers, as appropriate; places in specimen trays and, if necessary, vials with
completed specimen data cards) and catalogued, an associated specimen data
and corresponding geologic and geographic site data will be archived (specimen
and site numbers and corresponding data entered into appropriate museum
repository catalogs and computerized data bases) at the museum repository by
a laboratory technician. The remains will then be accessioned into the museum*
repository fossil collection, where they will be permanently stored, maintained,
and, along with associated specimen and site data, made available for future
study by qualified scientific investigators.
*The City of Menifee must be consulted on the repository/museum to receive the fossil
material prior to being curated.

45. Stephens' Kangaroo Rat (SKR) Fees. Prior to the issuance of a grading permit,
the land divider/permit holder shall comply with the provisions of Riverside County
Ordinance No. 663, which generally requires the payment of the appropriate fee set
forth in that ordinance. The amount of the fee required to be paid may vary
depending upon a variety of factors, including the type of development application
submitted and the applicability of any fee reduction or exemption provisions
contained in Riverside County Ordinance No. 663. Said fee shall be calculated on
the approved development project which is anticipated to be 206.8 acres (gross) in
accordance with the TENTATIVE MAP. If the development is subsequently revised,
this acreage amount may be modified in order to reflect the revised development
project acreage amount. In the event Riverside County Ordinance No. 663 is
rescinded, this condition will no longer be applicable. However, should Riverside
County Ordinance No. 663 be rescinded and superseded by a subsequent mitigation
fee ordinance, payment of the appropriate fee set forth in that ordinance shall be
required.
46. Nesting Bird Survey. Birds and their nests are protected by the Migratory Bird
Treaty Act (MBTA) and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Codes.
Since the project supports suitable nesting bird habitat, removal of vegetation or any
other potential nesting bird habitat disturbances, shall be conducted outside of the
avian nesting season (February 1st through August 31st). If habitat must be cleared
during the nesting season, a preconstruction nesting bird survey shall be conducted.
The preconstruction nesting bird survey must be conducted by a biologist who holds
a current MOU with the County of Riverside. Surveys shall cover all potential nesting
habitat areas that could be disturbed by each phase of construction. Surveys shall
also include areas within 500 feet of the boundaries of the active construction areas.
The biologist shall prepare and submit a report, documenting the results of the
survey, to the City of Menifee Community Development Department for review and
approval. If nesting activity is observed, appropriate avoidance measures shall be
adopted to avoid any potential impacts to nesting birds.
47. Fee Balance. Prior to issuance of grading permits, the Community Development
Department shall determine if the deposit based fees are in a negative balance. If so,
any outstanding fees shall be paid by the applicant/developer.
48. Grading Plan Review. The Community Development Department shall review the
grading plan for consistency with the approved tentative map and the conditions of
approval for the tentative map.

51. Burrowing Owl Preconstruction Survey. Pursuant to Objective 6 and Objective 7
of the Species Account for the Burrowing Owl included in the Western Riverside
County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan, within 30 days prior to the
issuance of a grading permit, a pre -construction presence/absence survey for the
burrowing owl shall be conducted by a qualified biologist and the results of this
presence/absence survey shall be provided in writing to the City of Menifee
Community Development Department. If it is determined that the project site is
occupied by the Burrowing Owl, take of "active" nests shall be avoided pursuant to
the MSHCP and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. However, when the Burrowing Owl is
present, relocation outside of the nesting season (March 1 through August 31) by a
qualified biologist shall be required. The City shall be consulted to determine
appropriate type of relocation (active or passive) and translocation sites. Occupation
of this species on the project site may result in the need to revise grading plans so
that take of "active" nests is avoided or alternatively, a grading permit may be issued
once the species has been actively relocated.
If the grading permit is not obtained within 30 days of the survey a new survey shall
be required.
If construction and/or disturbance of the site is suspended for a period of days (30)
days or more, a new survey shall be required.
52. Fugitive Dust Control. The permittee shall implement fugitive dust control
measures in accordance with Southern California Air Quality Management District
(SCAQMD) Rule 403. The permittee shall include in construction contracts the
control measures required under Rule 403 at the time of development, including the
following:
a) Use watering to control dust generation during demolition of structures or break-
up of pavement. The construction area and vicinity (500-foot radius) must be
swept (preferably with water weepers) and watered at least twice daily. Site
wetting must occur often enough to maintain a ten (10) percent surface soil
moisture content throughout all earth moving activities. All unpaved demolition
and construction areas shall be wetted at least twice daily during excavation and
construction, and temporary dust covers shall be used to reduce dust emissions
and meet SCAQMD District Rule 403. Wetting could reduce fugitive dust by as
much as fifty percent (50%).
b) Water active grading/excavation sites and unpaved surfaces at least three (3)
times daily;
c) All paved roads, parking and staging areas must be watered at least once every
two (2) hours of active operations
d) Site access points must be swept/washed within thirty (30) minutes of visible dirt
deposition;
e) Sweep daily (with water sweepers) all paved parking areas and staging areas;
f) Onsite stockpiles of debris, dirt or dusty material must be covered or watered at
least twice daily;

MJMOD & ZCA COAs
g) Cover stockpiles with tarps or apply non -toxic chemical soil binders;
h) All haul trucks hauling soil, sand and other loose materials must either be
covered or maintain two feet of freeboard;
i) All inactive disturbed surface areas must be watered on a daily basis when there
is evidence of wind drive fugitive dust;
j) Install wind breaks at the windward sides of construction areas;
k) Operations on any unpaved surfaces must be suspended when winds exceed
twenty-five (25) mph;
1) Suspend excavation and grading activity when winds (instantaneous gusts)
exceed fifteen (15) miles per hour over a thirty (30) minute period or more, so as
to prevent excessive amounts of dust; m. All haul trucks must have a capacity of
no less than twelve and three-quarter (12.75) cubic yards;
m) All loads shall be secured by trimming, watering or other appropriate means to
prevent spillage and dust;
n) Traffic speeds on unpaved roads must be limited to fifteen (15) miles per hour;
o) Provide daily clean-up of mud and dirt carried onto paved streets from the site;
p) Install wheel washers for all exiting trucks, or wash off the tires or tracks of all
trucks and equipment leaving the site;
q) All materials transported off -site shall be either sufficiently watered or securely
covered to prevent excessive amount of dust;
r) Operations on any unpaved surfaces must be suspended during first and
second stage smog alerts; and,
s) An information sign shall be posted at the entrance to each construction site that
identifies the permitted construction hours and provides a telephone number to
call and receive information about the construction project or to report
complaints regarding excessive fugitive dust generation. Any reasonable
complaints shall be rectified within twenty-four (24) hours of their receipt.
53. Paleontologist Required. This site is mapped in the County's General Plan as
having a high potential for paleontological resources (fossils). 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
Golden Meadows TTM31194 19
MJMOD & ZCA COAs
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 Planning
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 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)lf 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.

fossil site and processed to allow for the recovery of smaller fossil remains. Test
samples may be recovered from other sampling sites in the rock unit if
appropriate.
f) Any recovered fossil remains will be prepared to the point of identification and
identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible by knowledgeable
paleontologists. The remains then will be curated (assigned and labeled with
museum* repository fossil specimen numbers and corresponding fossil site
numbers, as appropriate; places in specimen trays and, if necessary, vials with
completed specimen data cards) and catalogued, an associated specimen data
and corresponding geologic and geographic site data will be archived (specimen
and site numbers and corresponding data entered into appropriate museum
repository catalogs and computerized data bases) at the museum repository by

DRAINAGE
General Conditions
141. MAP FLOOD HAZARD REPORT. Tract 31194 is a proposal to subdivide 205-acres
into residential lots, open space lots, five detention basins and a park, in the
Winchester/Antelope Valley area. The project is located north of Scott Road, east of
Murrieta Road, south of Garbani Road, and west of Bradley Road.
Golden Meadows TTM31194 42
MJMOD & ZCA COAs
The project site is subject to several small watersheds to the southwest and
northeast. Inlet facilities have been proposed to collect the flows from these
watersheds. There is one major watercourse that traverses the property from south
to north. Approximately 16 acres of the proposed developed site drains to the
southeast. The rest drains to the northwest. There are five detention basins
proposed.
Prior to City incorporation, the project was reviewed by the Riverside County Flood
Control and Water Conservation District, who provided the following opinion:
A HEC-RAS analysis for the major watercourse running south to north was received
on March 14, 2006. 4:1 side slopes, maintenance roads and rip -rap protection where
velocities are greater than 6 fps are shown on grading plans received on April 10,
2006. The offsite hydrology and flow rates may be construed as final. The HEC-RAS
hydraulic analysis for the main channel was only reviewed at the proof -of -concept
level of detail. Final hydraulics will need to be submitted with the final engineering
plans. Preliminary sizing for the proposed basins have been submitted in an
addendum to the Hydrology Study for TR 31194 that was received on April 18, 2006.
The proposed footprints appear to be sufficient for increased runoff and water quality
mitigation. A "Drainage Exhibit" for Tentative Tract 31194 was received on April 18,
2006. It shall be noted that the grading plans and drainage exhibit mentioned above
show design elements that vary from the Amended No. 2 exhibit circulated by the
County Planning Department. The new exhibits display alternate storm drain
alignments, additional grading and revised lot numbering resulting from the
eliminations of lots.
The following issues shall be resolved during final engineering:
a) The main channel bisecting the site shall be designed in substantial
conformance with the design concept depicted on the April 10, 2006 grading
plans and April 18, 2006 drainage exhibit.
b) The development proposes to convey the main watercourse in a storm drain
underneath the proposed side slopes for the central detention basin (Basin A-
1). Embankment proposed over storm drain shall have a top width equal to
the required easement or put another way, the District policy of no side
slopes in storm drain easements must be respected.
c) The down drains serving the 60 to 100-foot tall cut slopes behind the
northeastern tier of lots present a significant design challenge. Safely
engineering these down drains may require measures including but not
limited to velocity reduction rings, use of pressure pipe, cut-off collars, thrust
blocks and slope anchors. These down drains would be the responsibility of
the HOA.
142. 10 Year Curb / 100 Year Row. The 10 year storm flow shall be contained within the
curb and the 100 year storm flow shall be contained within the street right of way.
When either of these criteria is exceeded, additional drainage facilities shall be
installed. All lots shall be graded to drain to the adjacent street or an adequate outlet.
Golden Meadows TTM31194 43
MJMOD & ZCA COAs
143. 100 Year Sump Outlet. Drainage facilities out letting sump conditions shall be
designed to convey the tributary 100 year storm flows. Additional emergency escape
shall also be provided.
144. Perpetuate Drainage Patterns (Easement). The property's street and lot grading
shall be designed in a manner that perpetuates the existing natural drainage patterns
with respect to tributary drainage area, 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 City Public Works / Engineering Department for
review.
145. Major Flood Control Facilities. Major flood control facilities are being proposed.
These shall be designed and constructed to City and / or Flood Control District
standards including those related to alignment and access to both inlets and outlets.
The applicant shall consult the City and / or Flood Control District early in the design
process regarding materials, hydraulic design and transfer of rights of way.
146. Map Greenbelt Facility Maintenance. The developer has proposed an onsite green
belt channel to convey storm flows. This channel shall be designed to convey the
approved tributary flowrate. The proposed greenbelt facilities would be an amenity
serving the development. The Flood Control District has indicated that it would be
willing to maintain the lines and grade and structural aspects of the channel but
cannot be responsible for the landscaping. Maintenance expenses for the greenbelt
park drainage system are expected to be high. The City and the District must ensure
that the public is not unduly burdened for future costs. Prior to the issuance of any
grading permit, the developer shall enter into an agreement with the City and the
Flood Control District to guarantee the perpetual maintenance of the drainage
facilities proposed by the developer. Said agreement shall be acceptable to the
Flood Control District and City. The maintenance mechanism may include
participation in a City administered maintenance district that can assess special
taxes sufficient to pay for the maintenance of the greenbelt, a Property Owners
Association or a combination of both acceptable to both the City and the Flood
Control District.
147. Map Greenbelt Channel Design Criteria. The developer has proposed
incorporating a greenbelt or 'soft -bottom' channel into the project. The following
criteria shall be used to design the channel: If velocities are erosive (i.e. greater than
6 fps) revetment for side slopes shall be proposed and 15-foot maintenance roads
shall be shown on both sides of the conveyance area. Where soft bottoms and
revetted side slopes are proposed, provisions for maintenance of the buried portion
of the revetment shall be incorporated into the channel design and also into any
required environmental mitigation/conservation plan. The channel design shall be
developed using hydraulic runs that consider both the maximum depth and the
maximum velocity. The following criteria shall be used for selecting Manning's n
value, unless substantiation for other values is submitted: When determining the
maximum depth: for vegetated/habitat low flow channel n = 0.10, for non -mowed
channel outside of low -flow section n = 0.04, for mowed non -irrigated channel
outside of low -flow section n = 0.030. When determining the maximum velocity: for
vegetated/habitat low flow channel n = 0.10, for the rest of the channel n = 0.025. If
flows are non -erosive (i.e. less than 6 fps) then the side slopes may not need to be
Golden Meadows TTM31194 44
MJMOD & ZCA COAs
treated with revetment., and if they are to be landscaped, and not steeper than 4H to
1 V, and 15-foot maintenance roads are provided on both sides of the conveyance
area. The Manning's n values given above shall be used to show that these flows are
non -erosive, and to determine the maximum depth of water.
148. Map Increased Runoff. The development of this site will adversely impact
downstream property owners by increasing the rate and volume of flood flows. To
mitigate this impact, the developer has proposed a detention basin. Although final
design of the basin will not be required until the improvement plan stage of this
development, the applicant's engineer has submitted a preliminary hydrology and
hydraulics study that indicates that the general size, shape, and location of the
proposed basin are sufficient to mitigate the impacts of the development. In final
engineering, the developer shall provide updated copies of this preliminary hydrology
and hydraulics study for review and approval by the Public Works / Engineering
Department.
149. Map Increased Runoff Criteria. The development of this site would increase peak
flow rates on downstream properties. Mitigation shall be required to offset such
impacts. An increased runoff basin shall be shown on the exhibit and calculations
supporting the size of the basin shall be submitted to the City and the District for
review and approval. The entire area of proposed development will be routed
through a detention facility(s) to mitigate increased runoff. All 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 and the
Flood Control District for review and approval by both agencies.
Storms to be studied will include the 1-hour, 3-hour, 6-hour and 24-hour duration
events for the 2-year, 5-year and 10-year return frequencies. Detention basin(s) and
outlet(s) sizing will ensure that none of these storm events has a higher peak
discharge in the post -development condition than in the pre -development condition.
For the 2-year and 5-year events the loss rate will be determined using an AMC I
condition. For the 10-year event AMC II will be used. Constant loss rates shall be
used for the 1-hour, 3-hour and 6-hour events. A variable loss rate shall be used for
the 24-hour events.
Low Loss rates will be determined using the following: 1. Undeveloped Condition -->
LOW LOSS = 90% 2. Developed Condition --> LOW LOSS = .9 -
(.8x%IMPERVIOUS) 3. Basin Site --> LOW LOSS = 10%
Where possible and feasible the on -site flows should be mitigated before combining
with off -site flows to minimize the size of the detention facility required. If it is
necessary to combine off -site and on -site 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 (off -site plus on -
site), and the second for the area to be developed alone (on -site). It must be clearly
demonstrated that there is no increase in peak flow rates under either condition (total
tributary area or on -site alone), for each of the return period / duration combinations
required to be evaluated. A single plot showing the pre -developed, post -developed
Golden Meadows TTM31194 45
MJMOD & ZCA COAs
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. Embankment shall be avoided in all cases unless site
constraints or topography make embankment unavoidable in the judgment of the City
and the Flood Control District.
Mitigation basins should 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.
A viable maintenance mechanism, acceptable to both the City and the Flood Control
District, should be provided for detention facilities. Generally, this would mean a City
administered CSA or landscape district, or commercial property owners association.
Residential homeowner's associations are discouraged.

dated June 28, 2006 that evaluated the classification of Garbani Road between
Wickerd Road and Bradley Road. Further supplemental information was provided as
part of the major modification (PLN21-0199) project by Urban Crossroads titled
"Golden Meadows (TTM NO. 31194) Fair Share Assessment" dated June 10, 2022
"Golden Meadows Response to Comments Fair Share Assessment" dated June 10,
2022 that evaluated this projects fair share contributions and increased traffic counts.
This project is responsible for contributing fair share costs/improvements determined
in the provided traffic impact analysis addendum. Through analysis of Wickerd Road
traffic counts, it was determined that Wickerd Road improvements shall be improved
as a modified collector roadway. Wickerd Road will be required to have a street
name change to separate from current existing Wickerd Road alignment. The Public
Works / Engineering Department reviewed the studies and have agreed with its
findings.
186. TS/CONDITIONS 2. Prior to City incorporation, the County of Riverside
Transportation Department has reviewed the traffic study that was submitted for this
project. The study has been prepared in accordance with County approved
guidelines in place at that time. The County at that time generally concurred with the
findings relative to traffic impacts as indicated below (italicized):
The County Comprehensive General Plan circulation policies require a minimum of
Level of Service V, except that Level of Service V may be allowed in community
development areas at intersections of any combination of secondary highways,
major highways, arterials, urban arterials, expressways or state highways and ramp
intersections.
The study indicates that it is possible to achieve adequate levels of service for the
following intersections based on the traffic study assumptions.
