and
WHEREAS, the proposed Project was reviewed and has been determined to be
Categorically Exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Guidelines, Section 15332 ("Infill Development"); and
WHEREAS, on March 27, 2024, the Planning Commission of the City of Menifee
held a public hearing on the Project, considered all public testimony, which hearing was
publicly noticed by a publication in The Press Enterprise, a newspaper of general
circulation, an agenda posting, notice to property owners within 1,100 feet of the Project
boundaries, on -site posting at the project site, and to persons requesting public notice.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the
City of Menifee makes the following Findings:
Section 1: The City of Menifee Planning Commission hereby makes the following
findings in accordance with Title 9, Article 2, Chapter 9.80.070(B) — Plot Plan, Findings
for Approval Major Plot Plan.
Finding 1 - The proposed Project is consistent with the adopted General Plan
and any applicable specific plan.
The General Plan designation for the subject site is Economic
Development Corridor (EDC) Northern Gateway. The Northern Gateway
designation of the EDC is envisioned as an industrial park area with
more intensive industrial uses (less office) than envisioned for the Scott
Road EDC area. The area provides a buffer and transition between the
commercial/residential uses in the City of Perris to the north and the
residential uses in Menifee south of McLaughlin Road. Smaller industrial
buildings shall be oriented along primary street frontages and provide for
clear views of entrances. Heights and building sizes should be minimized
to transition between uses and intensities when adjacent to residential
uses. As such the proposed use is consistent with the General Plan. The
proposed development will also help to meet the following goals and
objectives of the General Plan:
United Carports
March 27, 2024
Goals
• LU-2: Thriving Economic Development Corridors that accommodate a
mix of nonresidential and residential uses that generate activity and
economic vitality in the City.
The proposed development will bring manufacturing and assembly
uses into the City which will help to diversify the City's economic base.
• ED-1: A diverse and robust local economy capable of providing
employment for all residents desiring to work in the City.
As previously stated, the proposed Project will bring an manufacturing
use to the City which will provide additional jobs and help to diversify
the economic base of the City.
• ED-3: A mix of land uses that generates a fiscal balance to support
and enhance the community's quality of life.
The proposed addition of an industrial user to the City will help to
diversify the City's economic base.
Objectives
• LU-2.1 Promote infill development that complements existing
neighborhoods and surrounding areas. Infill development and future
growth in Menifee is strongly encouraged to locate within EDC areas
to preserve the rural character of rural, estate, and small estate
residential uses.
The proposed Project will install an architecturally enhanced pre -
manufactured building on a currently vacant parcel that is surrounded
by a mix of industrial and public uses. The proposed use as previously
mentioned is industrial, which will complement the surrounding
industrial uses.
• CD-3.14 Provide variations in color, texture, materials, articulation,
and architectural treatments. Avoid long expanses of blank,
monotonous walls or fences.
The applicant has worked with the City to ensure that there is a
variety of architectural treatments which comply with the City's
architecture and design guidelines. The proposed building is a pre -
manufactured building which will be modified on the exterior and
provide metal accents, decorative lighting, and a variety of banding
treatments.
• CD-6.5 Limit light leakage and spillage that may interfere with the
operations of the Palomar Observatory.

NAHC. 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.
19. 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 section 7927.000,
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 7927.000.
20. 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, but may
include fewer artifacts if the area of the find is determined to be of significance due to
Page 8 of 52
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 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."
21. 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:
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
Page 9 of 52
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.
22. 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.
Prior to Issuance of Grading Permit
23. Processing Fees. Prior to issuance of grading permits, the Planning Division shall

OF GRADING PERMITS:
Page 11 of 52
a. The applicant 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 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:
i. 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 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
Page 12 of 52
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.
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.
27. Native American Monitoring (Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians and Pechanga
Band of Indians). Tribal monitor(s) from both tribes shall be required on -site during
all ground -disturbing activities, including grading, stockpiling of materials, engineered
fill, rock crushing, etc. The land divider/permit holder shall retain a qualified tribal
monitor(s) from the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians as well as the Pechanga Band of
Indians. Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the developer shall submit a copy of a
signed contract between the above -mentioned Tribes and the land divider/permit
holder for the monitoring of the project to the Community Development Department and
to the Engineering Department. The Native American Monitor(s) shall have the
authority to temporarily divert, redirect or halt the ground -disturbance activities to allow
recovery of cultural resources, in coordination with the Project Archaeologist.
28. Archeology Report - Phase III and IV. Prior to final inspection of the first building
permit associated with each phase of grading, the developer/permit holder shall prompt
the Project Archeologist to submit two (2) copies of the Phase II I Data Recovery report
(if conducted for the Project) and the Phase IV Cultural Resources Monitoring Report
that complies with the Community Development Department's requirements for such

Page 29 of 52
developer shall obtain all required ROW, easements and / or permissions to perform
offsite grading, from all affected landowners.
107. 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%
Where possible and feasible the onsite flows should be mitigated before combining
with offsite flows to minimize the size of the detention facility required. If it is
necessary to combine offsite and onsite flows into a detention facility two separate
conditions should be evaluated for each duration/return period/before-after
development combination studied; the first for the total tributary area (offsite plus
onsite), and the second for the area to be developed alone (onsite). It must be
clearly demonstrated that there is no increase in peak flow rates under either
condition (total tributary area or onsite alone), for each of the return period/duration
combinations required to be evaluated. A single plot showing the pre -developed,
post -developed and routed hydrographs for each storm considered, shall be
included with the submittal of the hydrology study.
No outlet pipe(s) will be less than 18" in diameter. Where necessary an orifice plate
may be used to restrict outflow rates. Appropriate trash racks shall be provided for
all outlets less than 48" in diameter.
The basin(s) and outlet structure(s) must be capable of passing the 100-year storm
without damage to the facility. Mitigation basins should be designed for joint use and
be incorporated into open space or park areas. Side slopes should be no steeper
than 4: 1 and depths should be minimized where public access is uncontrolled.

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 City for review and approval.
120. Perpetual Drainage Patterns (Easements). Grading shall be designed in a manner
that perpetuates the existing natural drainage patterns and conditions with respect to
tributary drainage areas and outlet points. Where these conditions are not preserved,
necessary drainage easements shall be obtained from all affected property owners for
the release onto their properties of concentrated or diverted storm flows. A copy of the
recorded drainage easement shall be submitted to the PW Engineering Department for
review.
121. Protection of Downstream Properties. The developer/property owner shall protect
