findings for TTM No. 38132 (PLN21-0274) in accordance with Title 7, Article
2, Chapter 7.20.090 "Findings for Approval for Tentative Maps" of the City of
Menifee Subdivision Code:
Menifee N SPA - TTM No. 38132
March 13, 2024
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.
The Project site has a General Plan Land Use Designation of SP 260.
Specifically, TTM No. 38132 is located in PA 9 of SP 260 which, under a
concurrent amendment, is proposed to establish density of 5.8 dwelling units
per acre, establish a minimum lot size to 4,300 square feet, update the
acreage to 29.4 acres, and allow up to 170 dwelling units. The intent of the
designation established in SP 260 is residential development at 5.8 dwelling
units per acre density. TTM No. 38132 is proposed at a density of 5.7
dwelling units per acre which is consistent with the SP 260 Land Use
designations and with the surrounding community.
The Project is consistent with the following City of Menifee General Plan
policy:
• Policy LU-4.1: Ensure that land use decisions within the March Air
Reserve Base and Perris Valley Airport areas of influence are consistent
with applicable Airport Land Use Compatibility Plans. Comply with State
law regarding projects subject to review by the Riverside County Airport
Land Use Commission.
TTM No. 38132 was routed for review to the Riverside County Airport
Land Use Commission and has been conditioned per the Airport Land
Use Compatibility Plan. Various conditions include building heights,
basin drainage timeframes, directional/hooded lighting and a notice (and
recorded as deed notice) to all prospective buyers and tenants of any
future residents that their property is located in an Airport Land Use
Compatibility Zone.
• Policy LU-1.6 Coordinate land use, infrastructure, and transportation
planning and analysis with regional, county, and other local agencies to
further regional and subregional goals for jobs -housing balance.
TTM No. 38132 is conditioned to improve Palomar Road and Junipero
Road along the project frontage which will increase the accessibility for
residents within the project to the future community park in Planning
Area 10 of SP-260 directly to the east.
• Policy C-1.1 Require roadways to: Comply with federal, state and local
design and safety standards.
TTM No. 38132 proposes improvements for roadways, including
Palomar Road, Junipero Road, and internal tract streets, which are
consistent with the City's General Plan and the City's Public Works and
Engineering Department Standard Details.

Menifee N SPA - TTM No. 38132
March 13, 2024
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.
TTM No. 38132 will include enhanced landscaping at the entries off
Palomar Road and Junipero Road. The conceptual landscape plan
includes the entire tract to provide a consistent and unique landscape
plan for the entire community. Monument signage is proposed for both
entries into the community along with the inclusion of a tot lot near the
center of the Project.
Finding 2 - Consistency with the Zoning Code. The Tentative Tract Map is consistent
with the zone designation map.
TTM No. 38132 is zoned SP 260, PA 9 and proposes to subdivide the
Project area into 169 single-family lots. Additional lots are proposed for tot
lots, water quality basins, and internal roads. The minimum lot size required
is 4,300 square feet. PA 9 of SP 260 was originally approved for 7,200
square foot lots (minimum), 106 dwelling units at 3.5 dwelling units per acre.
Concurrent with this application and under a separate resolution, the
Planning Commission considered Specific Plan Amendment No. 5 to modify
PA 9 to allow for establish a minimum lot size of 4,300 square feet (from
7,200 square feet), establish a density of 5.8 dwelling units per acre (from
3.5), establish development standards consistent with the proposed density
and unit count, and establish a maximum of 170 allowed dwelling units (from
106 to 170). TTM No. 38132 is being concurrently processed with TTM No.
38133 which proposes to reduce the number of allowed units by 64. Due to
Senate Bill 330 (SB330), the increase in units to PA 9 and TTM 31832 is
required to be consistent with SB330.
Staff has reviewed and conditioned the subdivision for consistency with
subdivision ordinance and amended requirements for lot sizes and
dimensions, streets, domestic water, fire protection, sewage disposal, and
other applicable requirements. The subdivision is consistent with the City of
Menifee Development Code and the Subdivision Ordinance requirements of
SP-260, PA 9 and the City of Menifee Municipal Code.
Finding 3 - The tentative map does not propose to divide land which is subject to a
contract entered into pursuant to the California Conservation Act of
1965, or the land is subject to a Land Conservation Act contract but the
resulting parcels following division of the land will be of an adequate
size to sustain their agricultural use:
The proposed The TTM No. 38132 project site is not under a contract
entered into pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act of 1965.
Finding 4 - The site is physically suitable for the type of development and the
proposed land use of the development.
Page 3 of 6
Menifee N SPA - TTM No. 38132
March 13, 2024
TTM No. 38132 is bounded by an existing tract map to the west, Rural
Residential (one acre minimum) lots to the north, vacant land (future
community park, PA 10 of SP 260) to the east, and vacant land to the south
(zoned High Density Residential, PA 11 of SP 260). With the potential for
inconsistent land use to the north, specifically the existing Rural Residential
lots to the north, TTM No. 38132 has proposed larger lots, up to 11,801
square feet, along the boundary acting as a buffer between the two land
uses. Therefore, the site is considered physically suitable for the type of
development and the proposed land use of the site.
TTM No. 38132 has been reviewed by the different Departments to ensure
compliance with applicable regulations, including, but not limited to City of
Menifee Community Development Department, Engineering and Public
Works Department, and Office of the Fire Marshal. These Departments have
also provided conditions of approval as appropriate to ensure compliance
with applicable regulations.
Finding 6 - The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements, with
conditions of approval, are either:
1. Not likely to cause significant environmental damage or
substantially and avoidable injure fish or wildlife of their habitat; or
2. Subject to an environmental impact report under which a finding
has been made pursuant to Public Resources Code Section
21081(a)(3) that specific economic, social, or other considerations
make infeasible mitigation measures or project alternatives
identified in the environmental impact report.
TTM No. 38132 will not result in conditions detrimental to the public health,
safety, or general welfare as designed and conditioned. An Addendum to SP
260 FEIR was prepared for TTM No. 38132, and no significant impacts were
identified with incorporation of standard conditions of approval and mitigation
measures (as listed in the FEIR Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program). TTM No. 38132 has been reviewed and conditioned by the City of
Menifee Community Development Department, Engineering Department,
and Office of the Fire Marshal to ensure that it will not create conditions
materially detrimental to the surrounding uses.
Consistency with Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP)
The City of Menifee has two active conservation plans within the City's
boundary, the Western Riverside County MSHCP, and the Stephen's
Kangaroo Rat Habitat Conservation Plan (SKR-HCP). TTM No. 38132 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
(SKR) (Dipodomys stephensi) Fee Area. The proposed Project is located
within the boundaries of the Western Riverside County MSHCP; however,
the Project is not located within a Criteria Cell or Cell Group. The Project will
be subject to the payment of fees consistent with Menifee Municipal Code
Chapter 17.03 as adopted by the City of Menifee. Therefore, TTM No. 38132
will not conflict with the provisions of the adopted HCP, Natural
Conservation Community Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state
conservation plan and the impact is considered less than significant.

Menifee N SPA - TTM No. 38132
March 13, 2024
Finding 6 - The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements are not
likely to cause serious public health problems.
The public health, safety and general welfare are protected through project
design, conditions of approval, and mitigation measures. TTM No. 38132 is
surrounded by existing single-family residences to the north and west along
with vacant residential land to the south, and vacant land to the east (future
community park).
TTM No. 38132 has been reviewed and conditioned by the City of Menifee
Community Development, Engineering, and Police Departments, and Office
of the Fire Marshal, to ensure that it will not create conditions materially
detrimental to the surrounding uses, nor will be detrimental to the public
health, safety and general welfare or incompatible with other properties or
land uses in the Project vicinity.
Finding 7 - The design of the subdivision provides for future passive or natural
heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision to the extent
feasible.
The Project will be designed with passive or natural heating opportunities.
The Project will be consistent with the Development Code and the
requirements of California Code of Regulations of Title 24, including
requirements for energy efficiency, thermal insulation, and solar panels.
Finding 8 - The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements will not
conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access
through or use of property within the proposed subdivision, or the
design of the alternate easements which are substantially equivalent to
those previously acquired by the public will be provided.
The subdivision makes provisions for all existing and future easements for all
utilities and public use purposes. Therefore, no conflicts with easements will
occur with the design of the subdivision.
Finding 9 - 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).
TTM No. 38132 will fulfill Quimby obligations though the payment of fees as
determined by the Community Services Department. Fees are required for
consistency with the Quimby Act. Additionally, SP 260 was approved with
the requirements for a Community Park in PA 10 directly to the east. While
various tract maps have been approved and built within the Specific Plan
and the removal of the areas of the Specific Plan outside of City boundaries,
the City has conditioned TTM No. 38132 to enter into a Park Development
Agreement prior to recordation of the final map to ensure timely construction
and completion of the community park.

this condition of approval. Upon verification, the Planning Division
shall clear this condition.
c. In addition, the Project Archaeologist, in consultation with the
Consulting Tribe(s), the contractor, and the City, shall develop a
Cultural Resources Management Plan (CRMP) in consultation
pursuant to the definition in AB52 to address the details, timing
and responsibility of all archaeological and cultural activities that
will occur on the project site. A consulting tribe is defined as a
tribe that initiated the AB 52 tribal consultation process for the
Project, has not opted out of the AB52 consultation process, and
has completed AB 52 consultation with the City as provided for in
Cal Pub Res Code Section 21080.3.2(b)(1) of A1352. Details in the

monitoring site grading/earthmoving activities which exceeds 5 feet
in depth in native sedimentary.
b. The project paleontologist retained shall review the approved
Tentative Tract Map and shall conduct any pre -construction work
necessary to render appropriate monitoring and mitigation
requirements as appropriate. These requirements shall be
documented by the project paleontologist in a Paleontological
Resource Impact Mitigation Program (PRIMP). This PRIMP shall be
submitted to the Planning Division for review and approval prior to
issuance of a Grading Permit.
c. 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:
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.
ii. Paleontological monitoring of earthmoving activities will be
conducted on an as -needed basis by the project
paleontologist during all earthmoving activities that may
Page 15 of 64
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.
iii. If the project paleontologist finds fossil remains, earthmoving
activities will be diverted temporarily around the fossil site
until the remains have been evaluated and recovered.
Earthmoving will be allowed to proceed through the site when
the project paleontologist determines the fossils have been
recovered and/or the site mitigated to the extent necessary.
iv. If fossil remains are encountered by earthmoving activities
when the project paleontologist is not onsite, these activities
will be diverted around the fossil site and the project
paleontologist called to the site immediately to recover the
remains.
v. If fossil remains are encountered, fossiliferous rock will be
recovered from the fossil site and processed to allow for the
recovery of smaller fossil remains. Test samples may be
recovered from other sampling sites in the rock unit if
appropriate.
vi. Any recovered fossil remains will be prepared to the point of
identification and identified to the lowest taxonomic level
possible by knowledgeable paleontologists. The remains
then will be curated (assigned and labeled with museum*
repository fossil specimen numbers and corresponding fossil
site numbers, as appropriate; places in specimen trays and,
if necessary, vials with 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.
Page 16 of 64
vii. The City of Menifee must be consulted on the
repository/museum to receive the fossil material prior to being
curated.
viii. A qualified paleontologist shall prepare a report of findings
made during all site grading activity with an appended
itemized list of fossil specimens recovered during grading (if
any). This report shall be submitted to the Planning Division
for review and approval prior to building final inspection as
described elsewhere in these conditions.
ix. All reports shall be signed by the project paleontologist and
all other professionals responsible for the report's content
(e.g. Professional Geologist, Professional Engineer, etc.), as
appropriate. Two wet -signed original copies of the report shall
be submitted directly to the Planning Division along with a
copy of this condition, deposit -based fee and the grading plan
for appropriate case processing and tracking.
38. Pre -Grading Meeting. The qualified archaeologist shall attend the pre -
grading meeting with the contractors to explain and coordinate the
requirements of the monitoring program, including a cultural sensitivity
training component.
39. Burrowing Owl Pre -Construction Survey. The Project Developer shall
retain a qualified biologist to conduct a pre -construction survey for
Burrowing Owl within 30 days prior to the start of construction. The results
of the single one -day survey would be submitted to the City prior to
obtaining a grading permit. If Burrowing Owl are not detected during the
pre -construction survey, no further mitigation is required. If Burrowing Owl
are detected during the pre -construction survey, the Project applicant and
a qualified consulting biologist will be required to prepare and submit for
approval a Burrowing Owl relocation program.
40. Nesting Bird Pre -Construction Survey. Prior to vegetation clearance, the
Project applicant shall retain a qualified biologist to conduct a pre -
construction nesting bird survey in accordance with the following:
a. The final walkover survey shall be conducted no more than three (3)
days prior to the initiation of clearance/construction work;
b. If pre -construction surveys indicate that bird nests are not present
or are inactive, or if potential habitat is unoccupied, no further
mitigation is required;
c. If active nesting birds are found during the surveys, a species -
specific no -disturbance buffer zone shall be established by a
Page 17 of 64
qualified biologist around active nests until a qualified biologist
determines that all young have fledged (i.e., no longer reliant upon
the nest).
d. It is recommended that close coordination between the developer of
the site, the City of Menifee, the project engineer, and the consulting
qualified biologist to consider vegetation clearance outside of the
normal bird nesting season (usually February 1 — August 31) to
avoid impacts to nesting birds which would potentially violate the
federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. It should be noted that bird nesting
season is increasingly less -definitive for some year-round resident
species such as hummingbirds and raptors. Further, ground -
dwelling birds such as burrowing owls, can be affected nearly any
time of the year if present. It is therefore advisable to conduct a
preconstruction bird survey no matter the time of year.
e. Removal of vegetation necessitates installation of appropriate Storm
Water Pollution Prevention Plan "SWPPP" measures, particularly if
development subsequent to grading is not undertaken immediately,
therefore careful timing of the project schedule and implementation
measures is necessary to avoid water quality impacts.

obtain all required ROW, easements and / or permissions to perform offsite
grading, from all affected landowners.
115. 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 6-hour/100-
year frequency storm event. Detention basin(s) and outlet(s) sizing will ensure that this
storm event does not produce higher peak discharge in the "after" condition than in the
"before" condition. For the 100-year event, an AMC II shall be used together with a
constant loss rate.
Low Loss rates will be determined using the following.
a. Undeveloped Condition --> LOW LOSS = 90%
b. Developed Condition --> LOW LOSS = .9 - (.8x%IMPERVIOUS)
C. Basin Site --> LOW LOSS = 10%
Page 37 of 64
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. 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 the City should be provided for any flood
control facilities to be owned and maintained by the City. Any facilities proposed to be
owned by the District, should be provided with a viable maintenance mechanism
acceptable to the City and the District. For the City this would be the citywide CFD.
Facilities to remain private shall be maintained by; other private entities approved by
the City or by homeowners associations.
Nearly all flows from the development will discharge into the RCFC&WCD
MDP Line A-3 Storm Drain which will be extended, by the District along
sections of project frontage. It is believed that This MPD storm drain is
designed to convey the developed flows from most of TTM 38132
development. Upon written confirmation from RCFC&WCD that this is accurate
and the District confirms acceptance of the increased developed flows, no
peak flow mitigation for this area shall is required for discharge into this MDP
storm drain and shall supersede the above condition requirements. In the
instance of MDP Line A-3 not being designed to convey the developed flows
from this development, the project shall be responsible for peak flow mitigation
for this area, as detailed in the condition above.
116. Site Drainage - Positive drainage of the site shall be provided, and water shall not be
allowed to pond behind or flow over cut and fill slopes. Where water is collected and
discharged in a common area, protection of the native soils shall be provided by
planting erosion resistant vegetation, as the native soils are susceptible to erosion by
running water. All cut and fill slopes shall have a maximum 2:1 (H:V) grade, 2 horizontal
to 1 vertical.
117. Alteration of Drainage Patterns — Prior to grading permit issuance or approval of
improvement plans, the final engineering plans submitted by the applicant shall
address the following: The project drainage system shall be designed to accept and
properly convey all on- and off -site drainage flowing on or through the site. The project
drainage system design shall protect downstream properties from any damage caused
by alteration of drainage patterns such as concentration or diversion of flow.
Concentrated drainage on commercial lots shall be diverted through parkway drains
under sidewalks.
118. 100 Year Storm- The 100-year storm flow shall be contained within the street top of
curb.
119. 100 Year Drainage Facilities -All drainage facilities shall be designed to accommodate
100-year storm flows as approved by the City of Menifee Public Works / Engineering
Department.
Page 38 of 64
120. 100 Year Design Criteria - In final engineering and prior to grading permit issuance,
subsurface storage systems shall be designed with emergency overflow inlets to
mitigate flows in excess of the 100-year storm event in a controlled manner to the
satisfaction of the Public Works / Engineering Department.
121. 100 Year Sump Outlet -Drainage facilities outletting sump conditions shall be designed
to convey the tributary 100-year storm flows. Additional emergency escape shall also
be provided.
122. Coordinate Drainage Design: Development of this property shall be coordinated with
the development of adjacent properties to ensure that watercourses remain
unobstructed, and stormwaters are not diverted from one watershed to another. This
may require the construction of temporary drainage facilities or offsite construction and
grading. A drainage easement shall be obtained from the affected property owners for
the release of concentrated or diverted storm flows. A copy of the recorded drainage
easement shall be submitted to the PW Engineering Department for review.
123. Comingling of Flows. Site restrictions may require the comingling of onsite and offsite
flows. A treatment device approved by the City of Menifee Public Works Director shall
be utilized to pretreat the flows before entering HOA facilities. The WQMP will need to
show these catch basin inserts. This comingling of flows and the easement shall also
be clarified in the CC&Rs for the project. If site restrains and existing conditions require
said comingling, it will be the obligation of the HOA to accept this water and maintain
the system, as well as performing maintenance on the associated filter inserts. The
developer shall provide a storm drain and flowage easement, or other applicable
document approved by the city of Menifee, providing the right of the city to drain onto
the private property.
124. Interceptor Drain Criteria/Guidelines: The criteria for maintenance access of
terrace/interceptor is as follows: flows between 1-5 cfs shall have a 5-foot wide access
road, flows between 6-10 cfs shall be a minimum 6-foot rectangular channel.
Terrace/interceptor drains are unacceptable for flows greater than 10 cfs. Flows greater
than 10 cfs shall be brought to the street. These guidelines may be modified by the City
Engineer/PW Director. The proposed drainage ditch within Lot 172, along the northern
tract boundary, shall be designed as shown in Section "F-F" on the TTM, or as
otherwise approved by the City Engineer/PW Director.

ENVIRONMENTAL CLEANUP PROGRAM (ECP)
As part of the services offered to contract cities, the Department of Environmental Health
Environmental Cleanup Programs (ECP) conducts environmental reviews on planning projects to
ensure that existing site conditions will not negatively affect human health or the environment.
The objective of the environmental reviews is to determine if there are potential sources of
environmental and/or human exposures associated with the project, identify the significance of
potential adverse effects from the contaminants, and evaluate the adequacy of mitigation measures
for minimizing exposures and potential adverse effects from existing contamination and/or
hazardous substance handling. For this project, the City of Menifee is taking on the responsibility to
review these aspects of the project.
If previously unidentified contamination or the presence of a naturally occurring hazardous
material is discovered at the site, assessment, investigation, and/or cleanup may be required.
