Section 1: The City of Menifee's Planning Commission hereby makes the following
findings for TTM No. 38766 (PLN23-0246) in accordance with Title 7, Article
2, Chapter 7.20.090 "Findings for Approval for Tentative Maps" of the City of
Menifee Subdivision Code:
TTM No. 38766
October 9, 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 (MMC).
The Project site has a General Plan Land Use Designation of 2.1-5 du/ac.
The intent of the designation established in the General Plan is residential
development within the 2.1 to 5 du/ac density range. The Project is
proposed at a density of 3.67 du/ac which is consistent with the General
Plan land use designations and with the surrounding community.
The Project is consistent with the following City of Menifee General Plan
policy:
• LU-1.2 Provide a spectrum of housing types and price ranges that match
the jobs in the city and make it possible for people to live and work in
Menifee and maintain a high quality of life.
The subdivision proposes two housing product types to help reduce the
housing costs. The Project will include a main house and an ADU on
each lot which will add an additional housing type within the City.
• Policy C-1.1 Require roadways to: Comply with federal, state and local
design and safety standards.
The TTM proposes improvements for roadways, including Garbani Road,
Evans 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. Additionally, the internal tract streets will
be privately maintained.
• 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.
The Project will include enhancements at the entry off Evans Road
including decorative pavers, landscaped median, entry identification sign
along with dedicated amenities for the residents of the tract including a
recreation center, linear paseo and dog park. The conceptual landscape
plan includes the entire tract to provide a consistent and unique
landscape plan for the entire community.
Consistency with the Zoning Code. The Tentative Tract Map is consistent
with the zone designation map.
The Project site is zoned Low Density Residential (LDR-2). The TTM
proposes to subdivide the Project area into 67 single-family lots with an
additional 67 ADUs which is a permitted use within this zone. Additional lots
are proposed for open space areas, amenities, and internal roads.
Staff has reviewed and conditioned the subdivision for consistency with
subdivision ordinance requirements streets, domestic water, fire protection,
Page 2 of 6
TTM No. 38766
October 9, 2024
sewage disposal, and other applicable requirements. The subdivision is
consistent with the development code and 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 proposed Project site is not under 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 site is bounded by residential developments to the north and east,
vacant land to the west and the existing Menifee Valley Middle School and
Menifee Union Scholl District Corporate Yard. The site is relatively flat and is
suitable for a tract development and is compatible with surrounding land
uses. Additionally, the site has been designed to be physically suitable to
accommodate the development with the proposed number of lots as well as
all other proposed improvements. Therefore, the site is considered
physically suitable for the type of development and the proposed land use of
the site.
The Project has been reviewed by the development Departments to ensure
compliance with applicable regulations, including, but not limited to City of
Menifee Community Development, Engineering and Public Works, and the
Office of the Fire Marshal. These Departments have also 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 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.
The TTM will not result in conditions detrimental to the public health, safety,
or general welfare as designed and conditioned. A memorandum and
technical studies were prepared pursuant to Section 15183 ("Projects
Consistent with a Community Plan or Zoning") which concludes that further
environmental analysis is not necessary as the Project is consistent with the
General Plan and Zoning Code and was previously analyzed in the General
Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR), therefore the City of Menifee has
determined that no further environmental analysis is required and the Project
Page 3 of 6
TTM No. 38766
October 9, 2024
is not likely to cause significant environmental damage and will avoid injuries
to fish or wildlife and their habitat.
The map has been reviewed and conditioned by the City of Menifee
Community Development and Engineering Departments, and the Office of
the Fire Marshal to ensure that it will not create conditions materially
detrimental to the surrounding uses.
Finding 5 - 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). The subject site is
within the jurisdiction of the SKR-HCP and the Western Riverside County
MSHCP. The Project site is located inside the SKR-HCP (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 biology report prepared for
this Project notes the Project's consistency with the findings of the MSHCP.
The Project will be subject to the payment of fees consistent with MMC
Chapter 17.03 as adopted by the City of Menifee. Therefore, the Project 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.
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. The Project site is surrounded by existing
single-family residences to the north and east along with vacant residential
land to the west, and the Menifee Valley Middle School and Menifee Union
School District Corporate Yard to the south.
The Project has been reviewed and conditioned by the City of Menifee
Community Development, Engineering, and Police Departments, and the
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.
Page 4 of 6
TTM No. 38766
October 9, 2024
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).
The proposed subdivision will fulfill Quimby obligations though the payment
of fees determined by the Community Services Department. Fees or
dedication of park land are required for consistency with the Quimby Act.

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

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."
19. Cultural Resources Disposition. In the event that Native American
cultural resources are discovered during the course of ground disturbing
Page 8 of 59
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.

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, items of Native

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

b. The developer/permit holder shall submit a fully executed copy of
the contract to the Planning Division to ensure compliance with
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 AB52. Details in the
Plan shall include-
d. Project grading and development scheduling;
The Project archeologist and the Consulting Tribes(s) shall

disturbance activities to allow recovery of cultural resources, in
coordination with the Project Archaeologist.
31 Paleontologist Required. This site is mapped as having a high potential
for paleontological resources (fossils) at shallow depth. Therefore, PRIOR
TO ISSUANCE OF GRADING PERMITS:
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:
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
Page 14 of 59
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 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 15 of 59
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.
32 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.
33. 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.
34. 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 16 of 59
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.

123. 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
Page 39 of 59
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.
