owners and non -owner residents within 400 feet of the Project boundaries, notice to all
relevant agencies and to persons requesting notification; and
WHEREAS, all other legal prerequisites to the adoption of this resolution have
occurred.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of Menifee resolves
as follows:
Section 1: The City of Menifee's Planning Commission hereby makes the following
findings for TPM No. 38432 (PLN22-0114) 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
Motte Business Center
December 13, 2023
subdivision is consistent with the Development Code, General Plan,
any applicable specific plan, and the Menifee Municipal Code.
The Project site is designated Specific Plan ("SP"), according to the City
of Menifee General Plan. The proposed TPM would combine APNs 331-
150-036, 331-150-037, 331-150-039, 331-150-040, 331-150-041, 331-
150-042, 331-150-044, 331-150-045 into one parcel totaling 46.33 gross
acres and 43.94 net acres to accommodate the development of the site.
The majority of the Project site is vacant and undeveloped. Two of the
existing parcels contain a scaffold business, which is expected to vacate
the site by January 31, 2024. Street access to the site is provided via
Antelope Road and Dawson Road. These roadways would provide the
necessary fire access roads. The Project meets the requirements of the
Development Code, General Plan, and the Menifee North SP.
Furthermore, 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
Subdivision Ordinance requirements.
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 tentative map 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 Project includes the proposal for a tentative parcel map;
the subject site is relatively flat and does not contain steep slopes or other
features that would be incompatible with the proposed development. The
surrounding area is also relatively flat. The Project site has a natural
drainage pattern to the southwest. The Project proposes to preserve the
existing drainage pattern. Therefore, the site is physically suitable for the
type of development and the proposed land use of the site.
The Project has been reviewed by various Departments to ensure
compliance with applicable regulations, including, but not limited to City of
Menifee Community Development Department, Engineering and Public
Works Department, Police Department, and the 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;
Motte Business Center
December 13, 2023
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.
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), an
Environmental Impact Report ("EIR") was prepared for the Project. In the
EIR, it was found that with implementation of mitigation measures, the
proposed Project would not result in any 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.
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 have been
mitigated to less than significant. In addition, standard conditions of
approval pertaining to Stephens 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.
The Motte Business Center EIR (State Clearinghouse No. 2022120083)
has been completed for the Project and certified by the Planning
Commission pursuant to a separate resolution. The tentative parcel map
at issue is consistent with the EIR, which the Planning Commission has
considered as part of its proceedings.
Finding 5 - The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements are not
likely to cause serious public health problems.
The proposed subdivision is being proposed concurrently with PP No.
PLN22-0115. The Project has been reviewed and conditioned by the City
of Menifee Community Development, Engineering, and Police
Motte Business Center
December 13, 2023
Departments, as well as the Office of the Fire Marshal to ensure that it will
not create conditions materially detrimental to the surrounding uses. In
addition, environmental impacts resulting from the implementation of the
Project and associated subdivision have been analyzed in the EIR. The
EIR determined that potential impacts would all be less than significant
with the necessary mitigation incorporated, except for significant and
unavoidable impacts to Greenhouse Gas Emissions. A Statement of
Overriding Considerations ("SOOC") is included for the EIR stating that
the impacts of the project are outweighed by the benefits of the project.
With the exception of the environmental category (Greenhouse Gas
Emissions), the proposed entitlements are 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.
This tentative parcel map would create one parcel for construction of an
industrial building pursuant to PP No. PLN22-0115. 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.
Motte Business Center
December 13, 2023
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).
This Project is for the subdivision of a proposed industrial development
and does not include residential units. For this reason, no Quimby Act
fees or dedications are required.
Section 2: The City of Menifee's Planning Commission hereby makes the following
findings for PP No. PLN22-0115 in accordance with Title 9, Article 2, Chapter 9.80.70,
"Findings for Approval for Plot Plans" of the City of Menifee Comprehensive Development
Code:
Finding 1 - The proposed design and location of the Plot Plan is consistent with
the adopted General Plan and any applicable specific plan.
The Project site has a General Plan land use designation of SP which is
intended to recognize areas where an existing specific plan is in place
and to provide policies, standards and criteria for the development or
redevelopment of these areas. All development and design standards of
the Menifee North SP have been uniformly applied to the entirety of the
Project, and therefore the Project is consistent with the General Plan.
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 industrial Project is in close proximity (approximately
3/4 mile) to the 1-215 freeway interchange at Ethanac Road. 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.
• 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's infrastructure improvements include new roadways,
roadway widening, and intersection improvements such as traffic
signals and turn lanes, bike lanes, and sidewalks. All of these
improvements will help promote multimodal transportation
opportunities for employees and residents surrounding the Project
site.
• CD-3.12: Utilize differing but complementary forms of architectural
styles and designs that incorporate representative characteristics of a
given area.
Motte Business Center
December 13, 2023
The proposed industrial project utilizes industrial architecture which
focuses on efficiency for processing goods and products. The building
is designed to prioritize employee safety and functionality.
Nonetheless, the building is still designed to meet Menifee North SP
architectural guidelines as well as City of Menifee Design Guidelines
such as building form, roof form, massing and articulation, materials
and colors, windows, doors, and entries.
• 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 long expanses of blank, monotonous walls. Screen walls
have also been designed to incorporate architectural elements from
the building for compatibility. Additionally, densely landscaped berms
are proposed to reduce the visual height of the walls from the public
right of way and to provide a visually pleasing street scene.
Finding 2 - The proposed project meets all applicable standards for
development and provisions of this title.
Per section 9.80.020 "Applicability" of the Development code, new
construction of non-residential projects of more than 2,500 square feet of
floor area requires the processing of a PP. The PP is for the site and
architectural review, to allow for the construction of one 1,138,638 square
foot building.
The Project was reviewed against the City's Development Code and the
Menifee North Specific Plan. The design of the Project is consistent with
the development standards of the Development Code where not detailed
in the Specific Plan. Therefore, the proposed design and location of the
PP 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.
To ensure that the Project would not affect the general health, safety
and/or welfare of the community, an EIR was prepared to analyze
potential impacts to the surrounding persons residing or working in the
community. The EIR examined the Project including planning,
construction and operation and determined that potential impacts would
all be less than significant with the necessary mitigation incorporated,
except for significant and unavoidable impacts to Greenhouse Gas
Emissions. A SOOC is included for the EIR stating that the impacts of the
project are outweighed by the benefits of the project. With the exception
of these environmental categories (Greenhouse Gas Emissions) the
Motte Business Center
December 13, 2023
proposed entitlements are 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.
In addition, the Project incorporates quality architecture and landscaping
which will enhance the surrounding area. The Project has been reviewed
by a variety of Departments to ensure compliance with applicable
regulations, including, but not limited to City of Menifee Community
Development, Engineering and Public Works, Office of the Fire Marshall,
Police, Riverside County Environmental Health, Eastern Municipal Water
District, Riverside County Flood Control District, California Department of
Transportation, California Fish and Wildlife, and United States
Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. These Departments have
provided conditions of approval as appropriate to ensure compliance with
applicable regulations.
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 environmental review has
been completed for the Project in accordance with State and local laws, and
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 certify the Motte
Business Center FEIR, adopt the Findings of Fact and a SOOC, and MMRP,
which have been completed for the project.
4. That the Planning Commission finds that the facts presented within the public
record and within the Planning Commission resolution provide the basis to
approve TPM No. 38432 (PLN22-0114) and PP No. PLN22-0115, 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

Typical requirements include compliance with the provisions of the Building Code,
CalGreen Code, local municipal code, SCAQMD Rules, etc. Since Laws, Ordinances,
and Regulations (LORs) are neither Project specific nor a result of development of the
Project, they are not considered to be project design features or Mitigation Measures.
LOR-1 Prior to the issuance of grading permits, the City Engineer shall confirm that the
Grading Plan, Building Plans and Specifications require all construction contractors to
comply with South Coast Air Quality Management District's (SCAQMD's) Rules 402
and 403 to minimize construction emissions of dust and particulates. The measures
include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Portions of a construction site to remain inactive longer than a period of three
months will be seeded and watered until grass cover is grown or otherwise
stabilized.
Page 6 of 61
• All on -site roads will be paved as soon as feasible or watered periodically or
chemically stabilized.
• All material transported off -site will be either sufficiently watered or securely
covered to prevent excessive amounts of dust.
• The area disturbed by clearing, grading, earthmoving, or excavation operations
will be minimized at all times.
• Where vehicles leave a construction site and enter adjacent public streets, the
streets will be swept daily or washed down at the end of the workday to remove
soil tracked onto the paved surface.
LOR-2 Pursuant to SCAQMD Rule 1113, the Project Applicant shall require by contract
specifications that the interior and exterior architectural coatings (paint and primer
including parking lot paint) products used would have a volatile organic compound
rating of 50 grams per liter or less.
LOR-3 Require diesel powered construction equipment to turn off when not in use per
Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 2449.

Efficiency Standards for Nonresidential Buildings (California Code of Regulations
[CCR], Title 24, Part 6). These standards are updated, nominally every three years, to
incorporate improved energy efficiency technologies and methods. The Building
Official, or designee shall ensure compliance prior to the issuance of each building
permit. The Title 24 Energy Efficiency Standards (Section 110.10) require buildings to
be designed to have 15 percent of the roof area "solar ready" that will structurally
accommodate later installation of rooftop solar panels. If future building operators
pursue providing additional rooftop solar panels, they will submit plans for solar panels
prior to occupancy.
LOR-6 The Project shall be designed in accordance with the applicable California
Green Building Standards (CALGreen) Code (24 CCR, Part 11). The Building Official,
or designee shall ensure compliance prior to the issuance of each building permit.
These requirements include, but are not limited to:
• Design buildings to be water efficient. Install water -efficient fixtures in
accordance with Section 5.303 (nonresidential) of the California Green Building
Standards Code Part 11.
• Recycle and/or salvage for reuse a minimum of 65 percent of the nonhazardous
construction and demolition waste in accordance with Section 5.408.1
(nonresidential) of the California Green Building Standards Code Part 11.

LOR-7 The Project tenants shall comply with the SCAQMD Indirect Source Rule (Rule
2305). This rule is expected to reduce NOX and PM10 emissions during construction
and operation. Emission reductions resulting from this rule were not included in the
Project analysis. Compliance with Rule 2305 is enforced by the SCAQMD through their
reporting process and is required for all warehouse projects greater than 100,000
square feet.
LOR-8 Trees shall be installed in automobile parking areas to provide 50 percent shade
cover of parking areas within fifteen years in accordance with Menifee MC
(Development Code) section 9.195.040 of the City's Development Code. Trees shall
be planted that are capable of meeting this requirement.

report(s) and/or environmental assessment conducted prior to project approval, the
following procedures shall be followed. Unique cultural resources are defined, for this
condition only, as being multiple artifacts in close association with each other, but may
include fewer artifacts if the area of the find is determined to be of significance due to
its sacred or cultural importance as determined in consultation with the Native American
Tribe(s).
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

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
Page 12 of 61
and Native American human remains. Results concerning finds of any
inadvertent discoveries shall be included in the Phase IV monitoring
report.
30. Inadvertent Paleontological Find. In the event that fossils or fossil -bearing deposits
are discovered during construction, excavations within fifty (50) feet of the find shall be
temporarily halted or diverted. The contractor shall notify a qualified paleontologist to
examine the discovery. The paleontologist shall document the discovery as needed in
accordance with Society of Vertebrate Paleontology standards, evaluate the potential
resource, and assess the significance of the find under the criteria set forth in CEQA
Guidelines Section 15064.5. The paleontologist shall notify the Community
Development Department to determine procedures that would be followed before
construction is allowed to resume at the location of the find. If in consultation with the
paleontologist, the Project proponent determines that avoidance is not feasible, the
paleontologist shall prepare an excavation plan for mitigating the effect of the Project
on the qualities that make the resource important. The plan shall be submitted to the
Community Development Department for review and approval and the Project
proponent shall implement the approval plan.

improvements will be required in one construction phase prior to any issuance of occupancies,
unless otherwise approved by the City Engineer / Public Works Director. If the developer
chooses to phase the subdivision map, the phasing of the public improvements will be
considered, and the applicable conditions will be updated.
It is understood that the tentative parcel map must correctly show acceptable centerline
elevations, all existing easements, traveled ways, cross sections, and drainage courses with
appropriate drainage flows. Any omission or unacceptability may require the map to be
resubmitted for further consideration. If there is a conflict between what is shown on the
tentative parcel map and these conditions, these conditions will supersede what is shown on
the tentative parcel map and any attachments to the tentative parcel map, including the site
plan and other plans or exhibits. All questions regarding the true meaning of these conditions
shall be referred to the Public Works / Engineering Department. Engineering Design
exceptions to City design standards and policies must be specifically requested in
writing and approved by City Engineer/PW Director. Any design exceptions shown on

eminent domain to obtain right of way, in accordance with all laws and regulations and
only after good faith efforts have been undertaken in negotiating the acquisition of
property. It shall be the responsibility of the developer / property owner to coordinate
their project timing with the eminent domain process as right of way acquisition is
required prior to plan approval.
132 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 should be shown on the exhibit and calculations supporting the
size of the basin shall be submitted to the District and the City for review. 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 for review
and approval. For design purposes, the proposed detention basin shall be sized using
the 1 -hour/1 00-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 II 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
Page 36 of 61
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.
