Section 1. With regard to TTM No. 36658 (TR 2013-208), the Planning Commission
hereby makes the following findings:
1. Consistency with the General Plan. The Tentative Tract Map is consistent with
the General Plan Land Use Map and applicable General Plan objectives,
policies, and programs.
The General Plan land use designation for the subject parcel is 2.1-5 Dwelling
Units/Acre Residential (2.1-5R). This designation is intended for single-family
detached residences at a density between 2 to 5 dwelling units per acre.
Properties to the north are designated Public Utility Corridor (PUC) and
Economic Development Corridor (EDC). Properties to the east are designated
2.1 to 5 Dwelling Units per Acre Residential (2.1-5R) and 5.1 to 8 Dwelling Units
per Acre Residential (5.1-8R). Properties to the south are designated as 2.1 to 5
Cimarron Ridge - MJMOD
February 28, 2024
Dwelling Units per Acre Residential (2.1-5R). Properties to the west are within
the City of Perris and designated Single -Family Residential 20,000 (R-20,000)
and Single -Family Residential 6,000 (R-6,000) which are compatible with those
proposed for the site.
The Project proposes to subdivide and develop 756 single-family residences on
240.3 acres for a density of 3.1 dwelling units per acre. Therefore, the proposed
TTM is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of 2.1-5R.

Cimarron Ridge - MJMOD
February 28, 2024
N-1.15 Employ noise mitigation practices and materials, as
necessary, when designing future streets and highways, and
when improvements occur along existing road segments.
Mitigation measures should emphasize the establishment of
natural buffers or setbacks between the arterial roadways
and adjoining noise -sensitive areas.
2. Consistency with the Zoning Code.
As previously stated, the MJMOD transfers lots from PA-4 to PA-5, as well as the
relocation of the park. The lots as proposed meet all of the standards required by
the Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan.
3. Surrounding Uses. Approval of the application will not create conditions
materially detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare or injurious
to or incompatible with other properties or land uses in the project vicinity.
Existing uses to the north and east include single-family residential, to the south
and west is vacant land. The proposed Project would allow for the development
of single-family dwellings similar to existing development to the east and west.
The Project is compatible with the surrounding land uses, general plan land use
designations and zoning classifications. The Project incorporates quality design
and landscaping which will enhance the area. Furthermore, the Project has been
reviewed by the City of Menifee Community Development, Engineering, and
Police Departments, and the Office of the Fire Marshal, as well as applicable
external agencies and departments to ensure that the Project meets all
applicable development standards. The Project complies with the Development
Code standards of Title 9, including but not limited to, lot width, lot depth and lot
area in the Specific Plan MDR zone. All necessary on and off -site improvements
will be required as Conditions of Approval.
4. Compliance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Processing and
approval of the permit application are in compliance with the requirements of
CEQA.
Environmental impacts resulting from the Project have been analyzed in an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (SCH) No. 2014051029 adopted October 21,
2015, which determined impacts including, but not limited to biological resources,
cultural resources, and noise would all be less than significant. However, the
EIR did determine that potentially significant impacts to air quality and traffic
could occur. Mitigation measures were included to reduce the impacts to air
quality and traffic as feasible, but potentially significant impacts may still occur
and a Statement of Overriding Considerations was included for the
Environmental Impact Report and this project as pursuant to Resolution No. PC
15-222.
Per CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, this Addendum has been prepared in
accordance with the provisions of CEQA. The analysis presented in the
Addendum substantiates that the Final EIR (FEIR) for the Specific Plan is
sufficient to satisfy CEQA requirements for the approval of the proposed Project.
That is, implementation and operation of the proposed Project described in the
Addendum would not result in any new or substantially more severe
environmental impacts than were previously considered and addressed in the
Cimarron Ridge - MJMOD
February 28, 2024
FEIR. Further, the Project would implement all applicable mitigation measures
presented in the FEIR. As such, potential environmental impacts of the Project
are considered to be adequately and appropriately addressed by analysis
presented in the FEIR.
The City of Menifee has two active conservation plans within the City's boundary,
the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan
(MSHCP), and the Stephens' Kangaroo Rat Habitat Conservation Plan (SKR-
HCP). The subject site is within the jurisdiction of the SKR-HCP and the Western
Riverside County MSHCP. The Project site is located inside the Stephen's
Kangaroo Rat (Dipodomys stephensi) (SKR) Fee Area. The proposed Project is
located within the boundaries of the Western Riverside County MSHCP, however
the Project is not located with a Criteria Cell or Cell Group. The Project will be
subject to the payment of fees for a residential project consistent with Resolution
No. 22-1264 as adopted by the City of Menifee. Therefore, the Project will not
conflict with the provisions of the adopted MSHCP, Natural Conservation
Community Plan, or other approved local, regional, or State conservation plan
and the impact is considered less than significant.
Section 2. The Planning Commission of the City of Menifee recommends that the City
Council approve MJMOD to TTM No. 36658 subject to the Conditions of Approval
identified as Exhibit "A" and as shown on Exhibit "B".

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 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. 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
Page 7 of 18
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."
16. Cultural Resources Disposition. In the event that Native American
cultural resources are discovered during the course of ground disturbing
activities (inadvertent discoveries), the following procedures shall be
carried out for final disposition of the discoveries:
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 Planning Division:
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,

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, items of Native
American Cultural Patrimony, burial goods and Native American human
remains. Results concerning finds of any inadvertent discoveries shall be
included in the Phase IV monitoring report.
17. Inadvertent Paleontological Find. In the event that fossils or fossil -
bearing deposits are discovered during construction, excavations within
Page 8 of 18
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
Planning Division 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 Planning Division
for review and approval and the Project proponent shall implement the
approval plan.
