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:
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 is within Menifee Valley Specific Plan (SP No. 158). The
Specific Plan provides land use and zoning for the property as well as
design guidelines. The Specific Plan designates this property for
commercial land uses, including hotels, restaurants and commercial
Home2Suites — PP and CUP
June 12, 2024
offices. The Project is consistent with the Specific Plan and General Plan
land use designations.
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 in close proximity to Newport Road and
Antelope Road, each of which are designated as Urban Arterial and
Major Roadways, respectively, per the General Plan Circulation Element.
The location is well suited for the proposed development 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. Furthermore, the Project site is in close proximity to a
freeway off -ramp.
ED-1.1: Focus economic development efforts on the primary objective of
increasing the number of jobs that pay above -average wages and
salaries; and,
ED-1.2: Diversify the local economy and create a balance of employment
opportunities across skill and education levels, wages and salaries, and
industries and occupations.
The proposed hotel use will provide a fiscal and economic benefit to the
City while also providing a much -needed land use and source of
employment.
CD-3.10: Employ design strategies and building materials that evoke a
sense of quality and permanence; and,
CD-3.12: Utilize differing but complementary forms of architectural styles
and designs that incorporate representative characteristics of a given
area; and,
CD-3.14: Provide variations in color, texture, materials, articulation, and
architectural treatments. Avoid long expanses of blank, monotonous
walls or fences.
The building is designed to meet the City of Menifee Design Guidelines
such as building form, roof form, massing and articulation, materials and
colors, windows, door and entries. The proposed building is the latest
franchise design model of (Hilton) "Home2Suites" and consists of
modern architectural elements including, but not limited to, vertical metal
siding, El Dorado simulated cladding stone, and a smooth exterior stucco
finish. The roof lines are broken up to reduce the overall mass of the
building and the four-sided tower elements provide additional depth and
Page 2 of 6
Home2Suites — PP and CUP
June 12, 2024
relief. All roof -top mechanical equipment is screened behind the parapet
wall and will not be visible from the adjacent right-of-way.
The proposed design and location of the PP is consistent with the
adopted General Plan and SP No. 158.
Finding 2 - The proposed project meets all applicable standards for development and
provisions of this title.
The Project site is zoned SP No. 158, Planning Area 2-7, which refers
back to the Riverside County Ordinance No. 348 - Scenic Highway
Commercial (C-P-S) zoning classification. The proposed use is allowed
within the Specific Plan with the approval of a PP. The Project is
consistent with the Specific Plan zoning requirements with the approval of
a CUP for the increase in height. Outside the aforementioned CUP (as
further described in Sections 2 below), the Project meets all applicable
development standards such as, setbacks, lot coverage, landscaping
requirements, and design criteria established in the Specific Plan and the
development code.
Surrounding properties are zoned SP No. 158, PA 2-7 (Commercial) to
the north, SP No. 158, Planning Area 2-6 (Very High Residential Density,
14-20 du/ac) to the south and east, SP No. 158, PA 2-8 (Medium High
Residential Density, 5-8 du/ac) to the northeast and 1-215 to the west.
The proposed land use is compatible with the surrounding land uses.
With the approval of a CUP (for increased height), the proposed design
and location of the Project meets all applicable standards of development
and operation of the Specific Plan and development code.
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.
The Project is compatible with the surrounding land uses, General Plan
land use designations, and zoning classifications and is adequately sized,
shaped, designed and located to accommodate the proposed uses. As
noted above in Findings 1 and 2, the Project includes uses that are
compatible and serve surrounding residents and future businesses.
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 Marshal, and Riverside County Environmental Health. These
departments have also provided conditions of approval as appropriate to
ensure compliance with applicable regulations.

The Project incorporates quality architecture and landscaping which will
enhance the area. Environmental impacts resulting from the Project have
been analyzed in an IS/ND. The IS/ND determined that potential impacts
would all be less than significant. Therefore, the Project 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.
Section 2: The City of Menifee Planning Commission hereby makes the following
findings in accordance with Title 9, Article 2, Chapter 9.40.070 — Conditional Use Permit,
Findings for Approval:
Finding 1 - The proposed design and location of the conditional use is consistent with
the adopted General Plan and any applicable specific plan.
The Project site is within SP No. 158. The Specific Plan provides land use
and zoning for the property as well as design guidelines. The Specific
Plan designates this property for commercial land uses, including hotels,
restaurants and commercial offices. The proposed land use is consistent
with the Specific Plan and the General Plan policies.
Finding 2 - The proposed design and location of the conditional use meets all
applicable standards of development and operation of this Title, including
any applicable specific use regulations.
The maximum height allowed per the Specific Plan is 35 feet, although,
the maximum height limit may be increased per Section 18.34 of
Ordinance No. 348 with the approval of a CUP (however, the maximum
building height may not exceed 75 feet). The current proposal includes a
maximum height of approximately 54'3" feet (to tallest appurtenance),
which is consistent with the maximum height of other 4-story hotels
recently approved by the City (Hampton — 52' and Fairfield — 55'). The
increased height has been mitigated by enhanced architecture and
variations in the roof plane for visual relief.
Finding 3 - That the proposed site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate
the conditional use in a manner that is compatible with existing and
planned uses in the vicinity.
Surrounding properties are zoned SP No. 158, PA 2-7 (Commercial) to
the north, SP No. 158, Planning Area 2-6 (Very High Residential Density,
14-20 du/ac) to the south and east, SP No. 158, PA 2-8 (Medium High
Residential Density, 5-8 du/ac) to the northeast and 1-215 to the west.
The existing commercial center to the north and the existing multi -family
buildings to the east are multiple story buildings and therefore serve as
compatible buffers. The proposed land use is compatible with the
surrounding land uses.

Home2Suites — PP and CUP
June 12, 2024
Finding 4 - The proposed design and location of the conditional use will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or general welfare, or materially
injurious to uses, properties or improvements in the vicinity.
The Project is compatible with the surrounding land uses, General Plan
land use designations, and zoning classifications and is adequately sized,
shaped, designed and located to accommodate the proposed uses. As
noted above in the Findings above, the Project includes a use that is
compatible and will serve surrounding residents and future businesses.
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 Marshal, and Riverside County Environmental Health. These
departments have also provided conditions of approval as appropriate to
ensure compliance with applicable regulations.
Section 3: Compliance with CEQA. Processing and approval of the permit
application are in compliance with the requirements of CEQA.
The City of Menifee Community Development Department has determined the above
Project will not have a significant effect on the environment with incorporation of
standard conditions of approval and has recommended adoption of the IS/ND. The 20-
day public review period for the IS/ND occurred from May 15, 2024 and June 3, 2024.
NOW THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of Menifee hereby approves
the following:

ARCHEOLOGY/ PALEONTOLOGY
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, 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).
i. 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.
ii 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.
iii 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.
iv 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
Home2Suites 7 of 59
the Project property so they are not subject to further disturbance in
perpetuity as identified in Non -Disclosure of Reburial Condition.
V. 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:
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
Home2Suites 8 of 59
Native American human remains. Results concerning finds of any
inadvertent discoveries shall be included in the Phase IV monitoring report.
28. Inadvertent Paleontological Find. Should fossil remains be encountered during
site development:
1) All site earthmoving shall be ceased in the area of where the fossil remains
are encountered. Earthmoving activities may be diverted to other areas of
the site.
2) The applicant shall retain a qualified paleontologist approved by the County
of Riverside.
3) The paleontologist shall determine the significance of the encountered
fossil remains.
4) 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 reduce monitoring once he/she
determines the probability of encountering any additional fossils has
dropped below an acceptable level
5) 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.
6) 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.

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.
6. 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 will then be curated (assigned and labeled
with museum repository fossil specimen numbers and corresponding fossil
site numbers, as appropriate; placed in specimen trays and, if necessary,
vials with completed specimen data cards) and catalogued, and 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 must be consulted on the
repository/museum to receive the fossil material prior to being curated.

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 I I shall be used together with a constant loss rate.
Low Loss rates will be determined using the following:
Home2Suites 31 of 59
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 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.

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.
49. 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.
50. 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

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 the City for review and approval.
54. 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.
55. Protection of Downstream Properties - The developer/property owner shall
protect downstream properties from damages that can be caused by alteration of
natural drainage patterns, i.e., concentration or diversion of flow. Protection shall

existing facilities and securing necessary drainage easements.
56. Drainage Runoff Emergency Escape. An emergency escape path shall be
provided for the stormwater runoff at all inlets for the proposed underground
facilities in the event that the inlets become blocked in any way. To prevent flood
damage to the proposed structures, all proposed structures in the vicinity of the
inlets and along the emergency escape path shall be protected from flooding by
either properly elevating the finished floor in relation to the inlets and flow path or
by making sure the structures are set back from the inlets to provide adequate flow
through area in the event the emergency escape of the stormwater runoff is
necessary.
57. Storm Drain Lines 36" and larger - All proposed storm drain lines greater
than 36" in diameter may be considered for ownership and maintenance by the
Flood Control District. The applicant shall enter into a cooperative agreement
with the Flood Control District regarding the terms of the design, construction
and operation of facilities proposed for ownership by the Flood Control District.
