RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution calling an election to annex territory, including PLN 22-0199, located south of Newport Road and west of Winter Hawk Road, into City of Menifee Community Facilities District No. 2017-1 (Maintenance Services) ("CFD No. 2017-1" or "CFD"), and to levy a special tax in that land; and

3. Adopt a resolution declaring results of special landowner election; and
4. Introduce an ordinance, amending the Ordinance No. 2017-231 and levying and apportioning the special tax in CFD 2017-1.
DISCUSSION
On January 18, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 23-1273, declaring its intent to annex territory to CFD No. 2017-1 and commence the annexation proceedings for the territory to be annexed, also known as Annexation No. 19. The next step in the annexation proceedings is to hold a public hearing on March 1, 2023, to conduct an election for the landowners and to declare the results of that election.
The area within Annexation No. 19 is included in PLN 22-0199 and is approximately 0.96 gross acres of a vacant property within the City. The property is located south of Newport Road just west of Winter Hawk Road, as shown in the attached project location map.

Per the request of DMSD Cajun Eats, LLC (“Owner”), the City will establish a rate and method of apportionment and authorize the levy of special taxes on the taxable property within Annexation Area No. 19 to pay for those services. Annexation Area No. 19 would have a maximum annual tax of $2,995 per acre. The maximum annual tax rate is proposed to escalate each year at the greater of Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 2%. DMSD Cajun Eats, LLC has agreed to initiate and conduct the CFD annexation proceedings pursuant to the Mello-Roos Act of 1982.
The Owner submitted a "Consent and Waiver" form on file in the City Clerk's Office to:
•hold the election and declare election results; and
•consent to the shortening of election time requirements; and •waive analysis and arguments; and
•waive all notice requirements relating to the conduct of the election immediately following the public hearing.
A copy of the boundary map entitled "Annexation Map No. 19, Community Facilities District No. 2017-1 (Maintenance Services)" was recorded on January 24, 2023, in Book 90 of Maps of Assessment and Community Facilities Districts at Page 46, in the office of the Riverside County Recorder. Annexing the parcel into CFD No. 2017-1 would cover the costs of maintenance of certain public improvements associated with the development.
STRATEGIC PLAN OBJECTIVE
Responsive and Transparent Community Government
FISCAL IMPACT
The individual property owners in the CFD would be responsible for annual payments of special taxes. It is estimated, upon full completion of the tract development that there would be an annual collection of Special Tax revenues of approximately $2,875 to be used to pay for maintenance costs.
On June 1 of each year, every taxable unit for which a building permit has been issued within the boundaries of the CFD, would be subject to the special tax for the ensuing Fiscal Year. If the anticipated costs of maintaining the facilities in any given Fiscal Year, prior to buildout of the project, exceeds the special tax revenues available from parcels for which building permits have been issued, then the special tax may also be applied to property within recorded final subdivision maps, as well as other undeveloped property within the boundaries of the CFD.
All costs associated with annexation into the CFD have been borne by the Developer. By annexing into the CFD, the costs of maintaining improvements located within the development would be financed through special taxes levied on the parcels within CFD No. 2017-1 and not through the City’s General Fund.

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: 2022 City of Menifee Local Hazard Mitigation Plan MEETING DATE: March 1, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Vanessa Barrera, Emergency Management Analyst REVIEWED BY: Jonathan Nicks, Deputy City Manager
APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution adopting the 2022 City of Menifee Local Hazard Mitigation Plan.
DISCUSSION
In 2021, the City of Menifee began the process of formally updating its 2015 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (Plan). Through this extensive process, the City formed a Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee consisting of City department representatives. The Committee was tasked with conducting a risk assessment that identified and profiled hazards that pose a risk to the City of Menifee including earthquakes, floods, power outages, transportation concerns and wildfire/urban fires. Following the development of the Plan, the public was given formal notice and invited to participate and review the content of the Plan.
The overall goal of the Plan is to, 1) protect life, property, and environment; 2) provide public awareness; 3) protect the continuity of government; and 4) improve emergency management, preparedness, collaboration, and outreach. The Plan was prepared with guidance from the Riverside County Emergency Management Department, the California Office of Emergency Services, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). After the extensive review process, on December 19, 2022, FEMA gave tentative approval of the Plan. Upon City Council approval, FEMA will provide their final letter of approval. The completion of the Plan will allow the City to continue to apply for FEMA mitigation grants. The Plan will be reviewed yearly and formally updated through FEMA every five years (2027).

2022 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP)
1.0 Executive Summary
The City of Menifee Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) helps to ensure the city is less vulnerable to future hazard events. This plan was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), as amended by Section 322 of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 and the 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 201 – Mitigation Planning, to be eligible for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Pre-Disaster Mitigation and Hazard Mitigation Grant programs.
Hazard Mitigation, along with preparedness, response, and recovery are the four phases of emergency management. Hazard m itigation is the only phase of emergency management specifically dedicated to breaking the cycle of damage, reconstruction, and repeated damage.
The City of Menifee followed a planning process prescribed by FEMA, which began with the formation of a Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC) in February 2021. The committee is comprised of the Menifee Police Department, City Departments, CAL FIRE, and Riverside County Fire. As the City was not on the Riverside County’s plan update cycle, the City of Menifee embarked on doing an update of the 2015 LHMP. Updating the 2015 plan, gives the C ity a better chance of being eligible for FEMA mitigation grants once the plan is approved. Riverside County will update its plan and the city will join next cycle to increase collaboration with other cities by sharing technical expertise and increase resources from the County. At that time, the city will also dive into reviewing all natural hazards that is affecting or may affect the city.
Through this process, t he HMPC conducted a risk assessment that identified and profiled hazards that pose a risk to the City of Menifee, assessed the City’s vulnerability to these hazards, and examined the capabilities in place to mitigate them. The public was given formal notice of the City’s Hazard Mitigation planning and invited its residents and stakeholders to participate. Based on t he planning process, the city is vulnerable to several hazards that are identified, profiled, and analyzed in this plan. Earthquakes, floods, power outages, transportation concerns and Wildfire/Urban Fires are among the hazards that can have a significant impact on the city. However, with careful planning and collaboration among publ ic agencies, stakeholders, and citizens, it is possible to mi nimize losses that can occur from disasters. Based on the risk assessment, the HMPC identified goals and objectives for reducing the City’s vulnerability to hazards. The overall goal of the plan as a whole is to 1) Protect life, property, and environment; 2) Provide public awareness; 3) Protect the continuity of government; and 4) Improve emergency management, preparedness, collaboration, and outreach.
Following the completion of the plan, t he LHMP was submitted to the Riverside County Emergency Management Department (EMD) for review. The City also submitted the LHMP to California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) for review as well as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for approval. Upon approval, the City will insert the signed resolution into the LHMP.

1.3 Official Record of Documentation
This section provides a general and comprehensive view of the Disaster Act of 2000. This includes a review of the federal requirements, City adoption and supporting documentation.
1.4 Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 Requirements
The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000), commonly known as the 2000 Stafford Act Amendment, was approved by Congress on October 10, 2000. On October 30, 2000, the President signed the bill into law, creating public Law 106- 390. The legislation reinforces the importance of mitigation planning and emphasizes planning for disasters before they occur. As such, this Act establishes a pre-disaster hazard mitigation program and new requirements for the nation post-disaster Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP).
The Act specifically addresses mitigation planning at the state and local levels. It identifies new requirements that allow HMGP funds to be used for planning activities and increases the amount of HMGP funds available to states that have developed a comprehensive, enhanced mitigation plan prior to a disaster. States and communities must have an approved mitigation plan in place prior to r eceiving post-disaster HMGP funds. Local and tribal mitigation plans must demonstrate that their proposed mitigation measures are based on a sound planning process that accounts for the risk to and the capabilities of the individual communities.
State governments have certain responsibilities for implementing the Act. DMA 2000 is intended to facilitate cooperation between state and local authorities, prompting them to work together. It encourages and rewards local and state pre- disaster planning and promotes Item Title: 12.1

sustainability as a strategy for disaster resistance. This enhanced planning network will better enable local and state governments to articulate accurate needs for mitigation, resulting in faster allocation of funding and more effective risk reduction projects.
To implement the DMA 2000 planning requirements, FEMA prepared an Interim Final Rule, published in the Federal Register on February 26, 2002, which establishes planning and funding criteria for states and local communities. Normally, FEMA publishes a proposed rule for public comment before publishing a final rule. This process can result in a lengthy comment and response period, during which the proposed rule is not legally effective or enforceable.
Because certain types of Stafford Act assistance are conditioned on having an approved mitigation plan, FEMA wanted to publish an effective rule providing the DMA 2000 planning requirements in order to position State and local governments to receive these mitigation funds as soon as possible.
1.5 DMA 2000 Requirements – Prerequisites
Adoption by the Local Governing Body
REQUIREMENT
§201.6(C)(5)
The local hazard mitigation plan shall include documentation that the plan has been formally adopted by the governing body of the jurisdiction requesting approval of the plan (e.g., City Council, County Commissioner, and Tribal Council).
EXPLANATION
Adoption by the local governing body demonstrates the jurisdiction’s commitment to fulfilling the mitigation goals and objectives outlined in the plan. Adoption legitimizes the plan and authorizes responsible agencies to execute their responsibilities. For final approval by FEMA, the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan must include a copy of the local governing body’s resolution, adopting the Plan.
ELEMENT A. Has the plan been formally adopted by the local governing body? B. Is a copy of the signed plan adoption resolution included?
Adoption by the local governing body and supporting documentation The City of Menifee Local Hazard Mitigation Plan meets the requirements of Section 409 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act of 1988 (Stafford Act) and Section 322 of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000). This includes complying with the requirement that the plan be adopted by the City of Menifee Council. The City of Menifee Local Hazard Mitigation Plan has been prepared by the City of Menifee HMPC and will be adopted by the City of Menifee Council via resolution.

2022 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP)
1.7 Background and Introduction
The DMA 2000 emphasizes greater interaction between State and local hazard identification, mitigation planning and other mitigation activities. In addition, both the State and Federal Governments have a continuing interest in streamlining the mitigation planning, implementation and project funding process.
1.8 Purpose and Authority of the Plan
Hazard mitigation is any action that reduces the effects of future disasters. It has been demonstrated that hazard mitigation is most effective when based on an inclusive, comprehensive, long-term plan that is developed before a disaster occurs. The City of Menifee Local Hazard Mitigation Pl an’s purpose is to fulfill the F ederal DMA, which calls for all communities to prepare mitigation plans. The plan includes resources and information to assist City residents, public and private sector organizations, and others interested in participating in planning for hazards. The plan provides a list of mitigation activities that may assist the city in reducing risk and preventing loss from future hazard events. Hazard mitigation, along with preparedness, response, and recovery are the four phases of emergency management.
Hazard mitigation is the only phase of emergency management specifically dedicated to breaking the cycle of damage, reconstruction, and repeated damage. The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000), Section 322 (a- d) requires that local governments, as a condition of receiving federal disaster mitigation funds, have a mitigation plan that describes the process for identifying hazards, risks and vulnerabilities, identify and prioritize mitigation action, encourage the development of local mitigation and provide technical support in those efforts.
This mitigation plan serves to meet those requirements.
1.9 Plan Description
The City of Menifee Local Hazard Mitigation Plan consists of the following information:
Community Profile
This section provides details of our community to provide sufficient background on the hazard profiles and risk assessments that are presented in subsequent sections. This description includes regional setting, history, government, and also includes information regarding the climate, population, demographics, and economy.
Vulnerability Assessment
Through this process the planning committee identified and gathered corresponding data on all potential hazards that present a danger to the City of Menifee. The information gathered includes historical data on natural hazard events that have occurred in and near the City and what impact these events has on residents and their property.
Risk Assessment
This section utilizes the information gathered through the vulnerability assessment process to determine what assets in the community will be affected by the hazard event.
The inventory of assets includes people, housing units, critical facilities, infrastructure, hazardous materials facilities, and commercial facilities. This data was compiled by assessing the potential impacts from each hazard using past events. The information in this section provides the city with information that outlines the full range of hazards the city may face and potential social impacts, damages and economic losses.

This section identifies mitigation actions/measures and implementation strategies for the city. Additionally, this section provides a comprehensive strategy for addressing mitigation priorities. The mitigation measures include preventive actions, property protection techniques, struc tural projects, natural resource protection strategies, emergency services and public education and awareness activities.
2.0 Planning Process
This section describes the process in which the plan was developed. The City of Menifee met with Riverside County Emergency Management Department (EMD) and California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) on February 4, 2021 to discuss what was going to be needed to update of the City’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. Following the discussion, city staff began the planning process and timeline for the update. Additionally, below are the dates of when local government reviewed.
On February 16, 2021, the city requested City Department heads to provide a representative from each department for the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC).
On March 11 , 2021, the HMPC met and discussed the importance of the plan, historical background of the 2015 plan, identified the hazards affecting the city as well as the internal and external participation need for the development of the plan. All of the items discussed lead to the revised LHMP which was ready for input by stakeholders, agencies and public.
On August 24, 2021, staff provided the updated plan and requested additional information from the HMPC, and the plan was revised thereafter.
On September 29, 2021, staff provided a formal notice for the public/stakeholders to comment via a press release. The feedback period was open until October 31 st.
On November 10, 2021, the LHMP was reviewed by Riverside County Emergency Management Department.
On February 7, 2022, Cal OES reviewed the plan and asked additional information to which the city made the changes. Following that, Cal OES sent the plan formally to FEMA for review.
On April 20, 2022, FEMA reviewed the plan and requested minor revisions from the city. The city met with Cal OES and discussed the requests.
On October 24, 2022 the City and FEMA had a meeting regarding the plan and reviewed the changes that were made as well as discussed additional clarification.
On November 23, 2022, the plan was resubmitted to FEMA for final approval of the plan.

Representatives from the City of Menifee Departments, Riverside County Fire, CAL FIRE and Menifee Police Department formed the Hazard Mitigation Planning C ommittee (HMPC). The HMPC contributed to identifying possible hazards, discussed their impact on the city , developed public outreach strategies and evaluated the draft Plan for public review. City staff participated in ranking and probability of the identified hazards.
2.3 Community Participation
The City of Menifee gave a “Notice of Hazard Mitigation Planning” via the processes below.
The community was also invited to participate in informational meetings during the input period.
The Input period was open from October 1, 2021 to October 31, 2021. During the input period, minor input was received from the residents, stakeholders, etc. The input that was received consisted of adding additional map links for larger view as well as adding additional information on the conclusion section. The feedback received was added to the plan before it was submitted to the State for review. Although the input was low, there were multiple residents that were interested in learning more about the process during the Employee Preparedness Workshop and CERT Meeting. The city will leave the plan on the website and will continue to take into consideration any suggestions or comments received.
• City Press Release: Details on the plan was sent via a press release. • City Website : Plan was posted under the City’s Emergency Management page on September 24, 2021.
• Southwest Emergency Managers Meeting: The City distributed the LHMP to members of the Southwest Emergency Managers group on October 7, 2021. Some participating member s include, neighboring cities, utility organizations, and school districts.

2.7 History
The area was originally inhabited by the Luiseño people, specifically the Pechanga band. In the 18th century, the area fell under Spanish rule and was ceded by Mexico to the United States in 1850 as a result of the Mexican American War. Farming, which began in the mid-19th century was concentrated in the Menifee area. Mining began in the early 1880s with the discovery of a significant quartz lode by miner Luther Menifee Wilson, from which Menifee derived its name.
Early development of the Menifee area began with Sun City in the early 1960s as the concept of an active retirement community envisioned by Del Webb, a building contractor from Phoenix, Arizona. Webb als o developed Sun City, Arizona under the same concept. Sun City is a centrally located neighborhood within Menifee with a mix of residential and commercial activity.
The Menifee area later grew during the late 1980s and into the early 1990s as a master-planned community. There has been substantial growth in Menifee with new home construction with large lakes, and fine amenities, attracting many residents from the Inland Empire and Los Angeles to live. On June 3, 2008, the residents of the communities encompassing the Menifee area voted to incorporate together to form Riverside County’s 26 th City. The City of Menifee
was officially established on October 1, 2008.
2.8 Government
The City of Menifee is a General Law City that operates under t he Council-Manager form of city government. Since incorporation in 2008, the city has been governed by a five -member Council. Beginning in 2012, the voters elected City Council members by District for four -year terms, with a mayor elected “at-large” for a two-year term. The City Council holds regular public meetings on the first and third Wednesday of each month.
2.9 Climate
The City of Menifee area climate is described as Mediterranean, with hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters. Menifee enjoys plent y of sunshine throughout the year, with an average of 263 sunshine days and only 35 days with measurable precipitation annually. The period of April through November is warm to hot and dry with average high temperatures of 83° -101°F and lows of 32°- 50°F, though in the summer, temperatures can easily reach above 100° F, and occasionally above 105°. The period of November through March is when the area receives much of its precipitation.
3.0 Population/Demographics
Situated in the heart of southern Riverside County along Interstate 215, Menifee is a vibrant, new city of more than 100,000 residents who enjoy a pleasant year -round climate, abundant recreational offerings, reasonably priced housing, and convenient proximity to some of Southern California’s premiere attractions and employment centers. As the 3rd fastest growing City in the State, Menifee has is expected to grow 10% within the next two years, reaching 116,525 residents. Within its 50 square miles, Menifee’s business, retail, and entertainment outlets are starting to shape the community’s character and this growing economic base is also contributing favorably to the city’s strong financial position. Menifee’s growing family -oriented population values the city’s ongoing commitment to public safety, community events, and smart growth for the future. All of these elements are working together to support the city’s strategic vision to make Menifee one of the state’s most promising new cities.

3.1 Land Use/Economy
The Land Use Map, Exhibit LU-2 of the City of Menifee General Plan Land Use Element shows where residential, commercial, office, mixed use, industrial, public/quasi -public facilities, and open space uses are expected. It also illustrates the location of properties with approved specific plans. Approximately 49 percent of the City is designated as residential, 2 percent as non-residential, 7 percent as Economic Development Corridor (EDC), 25 percent specific plans and 17 percent other uses, which includes agriculture, open space, public/quasi -public facilities, public utilities corridors, rights of way and rail. The EDC designated land is intended primarily for commercial uses and allows for a mix of other uses. There are eighteen specific plans totaling 7,689 acres, with the majority being single-family residential communities. A few specific plans include a mi x of residential and non -residential uses. The city currently has approximately 35,675 dwelling units. Since the City of Menifee is a newly incorporated City, its sphere of influence (SOI) boundary is contiguous with the city boundary. The ambitious $70 to $470 million 5- Year CIP will serve as a roadmap to complete several significant transportation and traffic related improvement projects that include: traffic signals, road widenings, roadway gap closures, overpasses, and interchanges. Menifee has undergone tremendous growth over the last 10 to 15 years . The city has significant advantages that make it attractive for investment:
• The city is centrally located within Riverside County. • Available Land – the city has sizeable amounts of quality commercial and freeway visible land.
• Competitive Land Costs – compared to locations in San Diego, Orange and Los Angeles Counties, the cost of land is much more reasonable, offering lower overall development costs, and lower property tax expenditures.
• Easy Access to Markets/Suppliers/Customers – Menifee’s central location provides quick access to major transportation options, including trucking, rail, and air shipments. • Available Skilled Workforce – within Menifee, and in the surrounding communities • Educational Facilities to partner with for employment training includes Mt. San Jacinto College (Menifee campus), Brandman University, Grand Canyon University, University of California – Riverside, Azusa Pacific University and San Marcos California State University. These higher education resources provide employers’ access to student populations with a wide range of education, from business to high tech. • High-quality housing is plentiful and reasonably priced. • Strong and clear leadership from the City Council.

3.2 Risk Assessment
This section identifies the hazards that may affect the City of Menifee, profiles of the major hazards, assess the risk of such hazards, describe the City’s vulnerability, and estimate potential losses from the hazards.
3.3 DMA 2000 Requirements
The overall DMA 2000 requirements for the risk assessment are shown in the table below. The requirements mandate only natural disasters be addressed; however, the City of Menifee has also included the most significant human-caused hazards in this plan.
Risk Assessment – Overall
REQUIREMENT
§201.6(c)(2)
Local risk assessment must provide sufficient information to enable the jurisdiction to identify and prioritize appropriate mitigation actions to reduce losses from identified hazards. This includes detailed descriptions of all the hazards that could affect the jurisdiction along with an analysis of the jurisdiction’s vulnerability to those hazards.
Specific information about numbers and types of structures, potential dollar losses, and an overall description of land use trends in the jurisdiction must be included in this analysis.
EXPLANATION
The local risk assessment should identify what hazards are likely to affect the area.
The plan should describe the sources used to identify hazards, noting any data limitations, and provide an explanation for eliminating any hazards from consideration.
The process for identifying hazards could involve one or more of the following:
Reviewing reports, plans, flood ordinances, and land use regulations among others:
Talking to experts from federal, State, and local agencies and universities. Searching the Internet and newspapers; and
Interviewing long-time residents.
3.4 Identifying and Screening Hazards
The City of Menifee HMPC identified several hazards that are addressed in the plan. These hazards included th ree broad categories such as Natural, Technological and Man- Made Hazards such as described in the Riverside County 2018 Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (see graph in section 3.5 below). The hazards were identified among the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee as well as through public input and researching past disasters that have frequently occurred in Menifee.
3.5 Hazard Identification Ranking, Location, and Probability For the purpose of this year’s update, the City of Menifee will be focusing on the following five hazards listed below. The reasoning behind this rationale was that the City will be doing an more in-depth review during the update when the City jumps back into the County’s cycle. For Item Title: 12.1

2022 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP)
this update, the city focused on five known hazards that typically occur. These five hazards were ranked from one (1) to five (5), with one (1) being the most urgent. The ranking was done based on the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC) discussions on the typical areas of concern from previous incidents. Probability, health systems impact, and mitigation capabilities were all taken into consideration while reorganizing the hazard ranking as well. The probability information was taken from the 2018 County of Riverside Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. Based on their assessment, the probability of each hazard in Riverside County was determined by rating their occurrence level from 0 - 4, in which each level or number represented a specific descriptor. For example, improbable = (0), remote = (1), occasional = (2), probable = (3), and frequent = (4). Each descriptor was defined accordi ng to how often each hazard occurs in Riverside County.
• Level 0: Improbable means it is not likely to happen in more than ten years • Level 1: Remote means it happens once in ten years
• Level 2: Occasional means it happens once in five years • Level 3: Probable means it happens once every two years (biannual) • Level 4: Frequent means it happens at least once a year (annually)

3.6 Loss Estimation
The tables below show the estimated property values in Menifee and the surrounding unincorporated County areas of Menifee. These estimates may be used to understand relative risk from various hazards and potential losses. There are, however, uncertainties inherited in any loss estimation methodology, arising in part from incomplete knowledge concerning the different hazards, as well as the use of approximations and simplifications that are necessary for a comprehensive analysis. The 15 and 16 tables below were taken from the 2018 Riverside County Multi-Jurisdictional LHMP.

3.7 FLOODING
Probability = 3
Flooding Hazard Definition
Flooding is an overflow of excess water from a stream, river, lake or reservoir, a piped or channeled conveyance, or coastal body of water, onto adjacent floodplains. Flooding can also occur by the accumulation of water in a natural or man-made depression where there normally is none. Floodplains are lowlands, adjacent to water bodies that are subject to recurring floods.
Floods are natural events that are hazards only when people or property is affected. The amount of water in the floodplain is a functio n of the size and topography of the contributing watershed, the regional and local climate, and land use characteristics. Flooding in steep, mountainous areas is usually confined, strikes with less warning time, and has a short duration; while larger rive rs in flatter valley and lowland areas typically have longer, more predictable flooding sequences and affect a broader floodplain. Several portions of Menifee are subject to a 100-year flood, meaning that flood of that intensity might occur once in one hun dred years (1% chance of occurring in any given year).
Overview/Location
In the City of Menifee, the flood prone areas are:
1. Along the Salt Creek Channel which runs throughout the center of the city from east to west. The Salt Creek channel is a major regional flood control facility that receives stormwater discharge from the unincorporated areas of the County to the east of Menifee and discharges into Canyon Lake.
2. The areas along the Line A channel. Line A is another major regional storm drain facility that runs throughout the city from east to west. Although the Channel has been constructed to its ultimate conditions, there are areas on both sides of the channel that lack an adequate storm drain system to carry excess storm drain to the channel. Until these areas are improved, they will still be prone to flooding.
While conditions have
improved in the Romoland and Homeland areas, the northern boundary continues to be designated a Special Flood Hazard Area Zone (SFHA) and therefore subject to federal floodplain management regulations.
3. Quail Valley area along unimproved existing channels.
4. Rural areas East of Murrieta Road and South of Holland Road.
5. At the Upstream end of Paloma wash (East of the I-215 and south of Garbani Road)
6. Along the Evans Road Channel west of Murrieta Road and South of Garbani Craig Avenue.
City Response Efforts
Based on the flooding prone areas, the city coordinates internally with staff to properly respond to any issues that may arise. Below are some key efforts that are done.
• Department of Operations Center (DOC)
When rainstorm season approaches, the city establishes a Department of Operation (DOC) group consisting of the Public Information Officer, Menifee Police staff, Emergency Management Staff, and Public Works staff to adequately respond. Public Works staff place cones and flooding signs at typical flooding locations in advance and coordinate staff to be on standby. Should rainstorms occur, Menifee Police along with Public Works field staff, regular ly patrol the streets and close roads should they be inundated. Should any road closures occur, Public Works will place flooded signs.
Additionally, Emergency Management staff internally notifies key personnel while the Item Title: 12.1

Item Page Number: 20
Menifee Mayor and City Council
March 1, 2023
Page
556 of 677
2022 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP)
Public Information Officer notifies the public. This team effort by multiple departments helps streamline response efforts.
• Master Drainage Plan (MDP)
The City of Menifee has developed a Master Drainage Plan in order to protect lives and private property. The MDP identifies flood prone areas and recommends CIP projects to confine flood levels by the County’s Flood Control District Standard.
Salt Creek Drainage Basin
The Salt Creek Drainage Basin occupies the southernmost part of the San Jacinto River Basin, reaching into the hills south of Hemet, and encompassing the southern part of Hemet, the communities of Green Acres and Winchester, and nearly all of the City of Menifee. Salt Creek bisects the Menifee area and has a large impact on zoning, development, and flood- hazard management. The lowlands around Salt Creek experienced numerous floods over the past century, due in part to the flatness of the valleys and the constricted entrance to the hills at the western edge of the city . The potential for Salt Creek to flood surrounding properties in the Menifee area has been reduced in recent years by the development of flood control measures that include channelization and land use restriction, much of which have occurred concurrently with the progress of development. Nevertheless, because many of the road crossings are not designed to convey major storm flows, Salt Creek remains problematic. The Salt Creek channel discharges into the Railroad Canyon Reservoir, at the corporate boundary between the Cities of Menifee and Canyon Lake.
Quail Valley Drainage Basin
The community of Quail Valley occupies a small drainage basin that is a tributary to Railroad Canyon. Flooding problems on the floor of Quail Valley are due in part to the original layout of the streets and homes in the 1950s, which consists of a grid pattern superimposed on the natural topography resulting in an irregular drainage network. This has led to localized problems due to blocked or diverted drainages compounded by the lack of structures to control the runoff.
Ethanac Wash Drainage Basin
This watershed includes the southwestern flank of the rugged Lakewood Mountains, in addition to the communities of Romoland and Homeland. The drai nage network begins in the Juniper Flats area within the highest part of the mountains and includes numerous steep- sided channels that are generally dry except during storms or where springs are present. Upon reaching the alluvial fan surface, the drainage channels become increasingly less well defined, and the runoff eventually coalesces into sheet flow across the valley floor. Runoff crossing the Romoland portion of Menifee, impeded by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BN & SF) railroad tracks and the 215 freeway eventually reaches the San Jacinto River. The impediments cause ponding of the water upstream of these structures.
Flooding History
In February 2010, winter storms caused extensive flooding within Menifee. The storms flooded the Ethanac area east of the 215- freeway, and the floodwaters rose within one foot of overtopping the freeway. The Salt Creek crossings at Bradley Road, Murrieta Road, and Newport Road were closed several times due to flooding. On February 11, 2010 Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger requested a major disaster declaration due to severe winter storms, record breaking snow, flooding, and debris and mud flows during the peri od of January 17 to Item Title: 12.1

2022 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP)
February 6, 2010. The Governor requested a declaration for Public Assistance including direct Federal assistance for eight counties, including Riverside County. On March 8, 2010, President Obama declared a major disaster existed in the State of California.
In January 2017, there was a severe winter rainstorm that prompted ten projects throughout the city. Some of the locations include North Canyon Drive, Lamprey St., Lindenberger Cresta, and Menifee Valley. These projects included road damage, concrete curb damage and more.
The city later submitted for FEMA reimbursement and worked with numerous contractors on the repairs.
Conclusion
The probability rating for this hazard is 3 . There is a high probability that flooding can occur every year. Flooding can cause cascading hazards such as landslides, dam failure, pipeline hazards, road closures, traffic incidents , power outages, hazardous materials incidents, sanitary sewer overflows, civil unrest, diseases, and insect infestations. Given the prone flooding prone areas, residents who live in the area are more vulnerable and may need resources when rainstorms occur . Given the previous historical damages, the City may need to setup shelters while impact. Additionally, there may be economic loss and recovery following the flooding incident.

NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM (NFIP) CID# 060176
Prior to incorporation, the Menifee area participated in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) as part of Riverside County, who has been a NFIP partner since 1980. Because the County of Riverside is a participating member of the NFIP, flood insurance is available to any property owner in the unincorporated area of the Menifee General Plan. Property owners are required to purchase flood insurance as a condition of securing financing to buy, build, or improve structures in a Special Hazard Flood Zone. The City of Menifee is a member of the NFIP, and as a result, Menifee residents will be able to renew their policies. No repetitive loss properties have been reported as of 9/20/21.
3.9 Flooding Strategy
This section describes the City’s strategy to utilize our resources to achieve our goals of reducing losses from future hazard events. This strategy identifies who is responsible for which actions, what funding mechanisms (e.g., grant funds, capital budget, or in-kind donations) and resources that is available or will be pursued, and w hen the actions are to be completed. To view funding and other mitigation projects, please see 6.0 Mitigation Projects.

Earthquake Hazard Definition
An earthquake is the shaking and vibration at the surface of the earth resulting from underground movement along a fault plane, and less frequently from volcanic activity.
Earthquakes occur when forces underground cause the fault to rupture and suddenly slip. This occurs when the stress built up at the fault exceeds the strength of rock resisting the movement.
Two of the most common methods to describe an earthquake are by intensity and magnitude.
Magnitude and Intensity measure different characteristics of earthquakes. Magnitude measures the energy released at the source of the earthquake. Magnitude is determined from measurements on seismographs. Intensity measures the strength of shaking produced by the earthquake at a certain location. Intensity is determined from effects on people, structures, and natural environment.
Intensity
The intensity is a number (written as a Roman numeral) describing the severity of an earthquake in terms of its effects on the earth’s surface and on humans and their structures.
Several scales exist, but the one most commonly used in the United Stated is the Modified Mercalli (MM) scale. There are several intensities for an earthquake, depending on where you are, unlike the magnitude, which is one number for each earthquake.
Magnitude
Magnitude is a measure of the size of the earthquake and energy released at the source of the earthquake, where the fault slip has occurred. Magnitude is determined from measurements on seismographs which record the ground motion from the earthquake.
Magnitude scales, like the Richter (local) magnitude and moment magnitude, measure the size of the earthquake at its source. Thus, they do not depend on where the measurement of the earthquake is made. Earthquakes below magnitude M2.5 are generally not felt by people.

Conclusion
The probability rating for this hazard is 2 . The City of Menifee could be affected by large earthquakes occurring in many parts of the Southern California region. However, the degree to which the earthquakes are felt, the location of the epicenter as well as the time of day could have a profound effect on the number of deaths and casualties as well as critical facilities, buildings, bridges, highways, and roads; sewer, water and natural gas pipelines and private property located in the Cit y. Further, an earthquake occurring in or near Menifee could result in disruption of normal government and community services and activities and could be aggravated by collateral damage such as fires, flooding, hazardous material spills, utility disruptions, landslides, transportation emergencies and possible dam failure. Depending on the location, community facilities, business, and resident’s home are vulnerable to earthquakes. Given the historical earthquakes listed, residents will be affected as well due to the magnitude of the impact. Individuals will need additional resources, incident notifications and updates as well as an impact to quickly recover from the event and return to normal daily activities.

4.3 Wildfire/Urban Fire, Probability: 4
Wildfire/Urban Fire Hazard Definition
A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire in an area of combustible vegetation that occurs in the countryside or a wilderness area. Other names such as brush fire, forest fire, grass fire and vegetation fire may be used to describe the same phenomenon depending on the type of vegetation being burned. A wildfire differs from other fires by its extensive size, the speed at which it can spread out from its original source, its potential to change direction unexpectedly, and its ability to jump gaps such as roads, rivers, and fire breaks. Wildfires are characterized in terms of the cause of ignition, their physical properties such as speed of propagation, the combustible material present, and the effect of weather on the fire.
4.4 Overview/Location
Based on geographical makeup and climatic conditions, the City of Menifee is located in one of the most active wildfire counties (Riverside County). Typically, from June unt il October, Menifee and unincorporated surrounding areas face a serious threat of wildfires. Dry seasons and flammable brush contribute to this serious threat, as well as high temperatures, low humidity, high winds, and below average rainfall. Many of the areas in the hills are subject to a moderate to high risk of wildfires . The table below lists some of the more significant Wildfires in and near the City of Menifee, from 2016 to early 2021. The information below was obtained from the CAL FIRE Website

Conclusion
The probability rating for this hazard is a 4, based on the County’s 2018 Multi -Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan . Due to the natural topography, terrain, volatile fuel types and climate conditions, wil dfire in and near Menifee will continue to be an ongoing threat. The potential for large and damaging fires to Menifee is present throughout the year and may include city facility damages, other structure damages, injuries, community displacement, financial losses and more. During the months with the Santa Ana Winds, the potential for a large and damaging wildfire is increased significantly. The City utilizes our Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to include various teams from Fire, Police, local CERT & Community Action teams, city staff, and volunteers to coordinate action as needed in the event of a wildfire.
Mitigation efforts include aggressive weed abatement program, public education & workshops on wildfire defense, enhance firefighting apparatus & equipment, fire inspections of established businesses, and update and implement new building codes for development community. All city facilities, businesses and residents are vulnerable to wildfires. The historical events provide a glimpse of what may go wrong. As the City contracts with Cal Fire, there are discussion in place should a wildfire occur in the nearby future within Menifee limits.

4.5 POWER OUTAGE, Probability = 4
Power Outage Hazard Definition
Power outage refers to a regional or municipal area being without electrical power for a period of time exceeding 15 minutes. Power outages may have one or more of the following causes:
severe weather, mechanical failure, operator error or intentional act.
Overview/Location
As Menifee continues to experience both population growth and weather cycles that contribute to a heavy demand for power, climate change may also increase Menifee’s vulnerability to energy shortage hazards. Predicted increases in heat waves as well as increasingly severe winter rainstorms will put ever great strain on the areas system. A power failure can range in magnitude and impact from a relatively modest power outage to a catastrophic regional blackout. Power outages may affect a specific area of the City of Menifee or the entire City.
History
Most recently on April 24, 2013 the City of Menifee experienced a power outage due to the result of vandalism and copper wire theft.
1 SoCal Edison had shut down power for two hours
to replace copper wiring that was stolen from a substation. If not repaired shortly after the discovery the impact could have been transformers blowing up on the poles, all the way to homeowner equipment being damaged. On September 3, 2012 a privately owned senior community within the City boundary experienced a power outage for 36 hours. 2The community
had an i ssue with its electrical panel. The temperature rose to 100° and residents, many of whom were elderly, were left with no air conditioning and medical device batteries were draining. Menifee Sun City Concern, a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the need of elderly Menifee residents was opened as a cool center.
Conclusion
The probability rating for this hazard is a 4 , which means that it is highly likely and there is a near 100% chance that it will occur within the next year. Power outages could cause cascading hazards such as transportation incidents, civil unrest and disease. Given the information listed, the vulnerability for Menifee is high. Residents, especially in the senior community have a impact depending on how long the outage occurs. Ot her business and city facilities may also be impacted thus leaving the City with a difficult time to return to normal operations.

4.6 TRANSPORTATION HAZARD, Probability = 5
Transportation Hazard Definition
Transportation hazards are incidents involving air, rail, or highway transport of goods or passenger travel resulting in property damage, death, or serious injury. The incidents can be caused by transportation of hazardous materials, earthquake, hazardous weather, or other hazardous conditions affecting the uninterrupted flow of transportation and/or public safety.
Overview/Location
State Highways
Interstate 215 (I-215) traverses Menifee in a north-south direction. This freeway is used to transport hazardous materials, posing a potential for spills. Interchanges are at SR - 74, Ethanac Road, McCall Boulevard, Newport Road, and Scott Road. State Route 74 travels east-west through the community of Romoland before it merges with I -215 for three miles (northward) before splitting in Perris. Vehicles carrying hazardous materials are required to have placards that indicate at a glance the chemicals being carried, and whether or not they are corrosive, flammable, or explosive. The California Highway Patrol is in charge of spills that occur in or along freeways, with Caltrans, and local sheriff and fire departments responsible for providing additional enforcement and routing assistance.
Railways
Although railroad tracks extend across a portion of the city, currently there is no railroad traffic on these tracks. Therefore, train derailments, with the potential for hazardous materials releases appear to not pose a current concern. If the railroad tracks are rehabilitated in the future and used for freight traffic, including the transport of hazardous materials, this section would need to be revised.
Airports
The Ontario International Airport, about 44 m iles to the northwest, connects with all major airports and has direct service to many North American cities. In addition, there are several major air freight carriers at Ontario. Four smaller airports also operate in Menifee’s vicinity. Perris Valley Airport has one runway and is used for general aviation and extensive skydiving. A nearby county-owned Hemet-Ryan Airport also has general aviation facilities. French Valley Airport is a county -owned public -use airport on Highway 70 in Murrieta. March Air Force Military Airfield is north of Menifee. The flight operations present a potential risk for air crashes. The risk is greatest for aircraft approaching the airfield directly over the city and finally Skylark Field Airport in Lake Elsinore is a private airport used for general aviation and skydiving.
History
There are no known records of vehicle, railway or air transportation incident events with this hazard. There are four registered transporters of hazardous materials in the Menifee area.
Kargo Transportation, Sollars Trucking, Condos Trucking, Visions West.
Conclusion
The probability rating for this hazard is 5 . Transportation incidents could cause cascading effects such as power outages, pipeline ruptures or hazardous materials incidents, death and/or illness due to exposure and structure damages. These leave the City and its’ residents Item Title: 12.1

in a vulnerable place depending on the time it takes to mitigate the hazard. Shelters or other resources may be needed to the public and affected residents.
4.7 DMA 2000 Requirements
The DMA 2000 requirement for planning a hazard mitigation strategy is shown below.
DMA 2000 Requirements - Mitigation Strategy
REQUIREMENT
§201.6(c)(3)
The plan shall include a mitigation strategy that provides the jurisdiction’s blueprint for reducing the potential losses identified in the risk assessment, based on existing authorities, policies, programs and resources, and its ability to expand on and improve these existing tools.
EXPLANATION
The community’s hazard reduction goals, as reflected in the plan, along with their corresponding objectives, guide the development and implementation of mitigation measures. This section should describe what these goals are and how they were developed. The goals could be developed early in the planning process and refined based on the risk assessment findings or developed entirely after the risk assessment is completed. They should also be compatible with the goals of the community as expressed in other community plan documents (such as the General Plan).
Although the Interim Federal Regulations language does not require a description of objectives, communities are highly encouraged to include a description of the objectives developed to achieve the goals so tha t reviewers understand the connection between goals, objectives, and activities.
The goals and objectives should:
• Be based on the findings of the local and State risk assessments; and • Represent a long- term vision for hazard reduction or enhancement of mitigation capabilities.
4.8 Capability Assessment
Although not required by DMA 2000, a highly recommended component of the Mitigation Strategy is a local capability assessment. A capability assessment has two components; an inventory of an agency’s mission, programs, and policies; and an analysis of its capacity to carry them out. The capability assessment is a review of the City’s resources in order to identify, review, and analyze what the city is currently doing to reduce losses and identify the framework that is in place or should be in place for the implementation of new mitigation actions. The assessment involves four parts; (1) a review of the City’s legal and regulatory capability, including ordinances, codes, and plans to address hazard mitigation activities; (2) A review of the administrative and technical ability of Menifee’s staff and personnel resources; (3) A review of the fiscal capability of Menifee to provide the financial resources to implement the mitigation strategy; and (4) a summary review of the activities of each administrative division within the City that supports hazard mitigation activities, and details any previous mitigation activities undertaken by these entities. The legal and regulatory hazard mitigation capability of the City of Menifee is shown below. The table includes a review of existing ordinances, codes and plan that affect the built environment in Menifee.

5.2 Mitigation Goals
The following summary of goals and strategies serve to mitigate the hazards that may affect the City of Menifee. Although this update does not focus on extensive descriptions on multiple hazards due to the city making major updates once it jumps back into the County’s cycle, below are mitigation goals that we incorporated in the safety element of the City’s General Plan and identified by the section, Safety (S) .
As mentioned in Section 1.0. t he overall goal of the plan as a whole is to 1) Protect life, property, and environment; 2) Prov ide public awareness; 3) Protect the continuity of government; and 4) Improve emergency management, preparedness, collaboration, and outreach. These core goals were considered during the process.
5.3 Hazard: Earthquake
Topographically, the Menifee area encompasses numerous rugged and moderately steep hills and mountains surrounded by a series of broad, nearly flat-bottomed valleys.
Goal S 1: A community that is minimally impacted by seismic shaking and earthquake- induced or other geologic hazards.
Policies
S-1.1 Require all new building and structures to be designed and built to be seismically resistant in accordance with the most recent California Building Code adopted by the City.
S-1.2 Encourage owners of old or potentially hazardous buildings, i ncluding pre-1952 wood-frame structures, concrete tilt -ups, pre- 1971 reinforced masonry, soft - story, and multi-family residential buildings, to assess the seismic vulnerability of their structures and conduct seismic retrofitting as necessary to improve th e building’s resistance to seismic shaking.
S-1.3 Encourage the City’s utility service providers to identify sections of their distribution networks that are old and/or located in areas susceptible to earthquake-induced ground deformation, and to repair, replace, or strengthen the sections as necessary.
5.4 Hazard: Landslide
Goal S 2: A community that has used engineering solutions to reduce or eliminate the potential for injury, loss of life, property damage, and economic and social Item Title: 12.1

disruption caused by geologic hazards such as slope instability, compressible, collapsible, expansive or corrosive soils, and subsidence due to groundwater withdrawal.
Policies
S-2.1 Require all new developments to mitigate the geologic hazards that have the potential to impact habitable structures and other improvements.
S-2.2 Monitor the losses caused by geologic hazard to existing development, and require studies to specifically address these issues, including the implementation of measures designed to mitigate these hazards, in all future developments in these areas.
S-2.3 Minimize grading and modifications to the natural topography to prevent the potential for man-induced slope failures.
S-2.4 Manage the groundwater resources in the area to prevent over -drafting of the aquifers, which in turn could result in regional subsidence.
5.5 Hazard: Flooding
Most flooding in Menifee is the result of flows along the San Jacinto River, Salt Creek, and several smaller drainages along the C ity’s boundaries (including Ethanac Wash, the creek through Quail Valley, Paloma Wash, and Warm Springs Creek). The City of Menifee is aware of these flood-prone areas and has planned to improve or replace some of the existing flood structures to reduce the flood hazards.
Goal S 3: A community that if minimally disrupted by flooding and inundation hazards.
Policies
S-3.1 Require that all new developments and redevelopments in areas susceptible to flooding (such as the 100 -year floodplain and areas known to the city to flood during intense or prolonged rainfall events) incorporate mitigation measures designed to mitigate flood hazards.
S-3.2 Reduce flood hazards in developed areas known to flood.
S-3.3 Use technology to identify flood-prone areas and to notify residents and motorist of impending flood hazards and evacuation procedures.
S-3.4 Develop floodplains as parks, nature trails, equestrian parks, golf courses, or other types of recreational facilities or joint -use facilities that can withstand periodic inundation wherever feasible.
S-3.5 Encourage neighboring jurisdictions to require development occurring adj acent to the City to consider the impact of flooding and flood control measures on properties within Menifee.
S-3.6: Coordinate with FEMA to ensure that flood mapping and flood risk information is current and available.
S-3.7: When feasible, locate new ess ential public facilities outside of flood risk areas, including, but not limited to, hospitals and health care facilities, emergency shelters, emergency command centers, and emergency communications facilities or identify other methods to minimize damage i f these facilities are located in flood hazard zones

facility, or the result of an accident along a section of the freeway or railroads that extend across the city.
S-5.3 Continue to support the operation of programs and recycling centers that accept hazardous substances, such as paint, paint thinner, used waste oil, etc.
S-5.4 Ensure that all facilities that handle hazardous materials comply with federal and state laws pertaining to the management of hazardous wastes and materials.
S-5.5 Require facilities that handle hazardous materials to implement mitigation measures that reduce the risks associated with hazardous material production, storage, and disposal.
S-5.6 Require all new industrial development projects and significant rehabilitation or expansion projects to reduce industrial truck idling by enforcing California’s five (5) minute maximum law, requiring warehouse and distribution facilities to provide adequate on-site truck parking, and requiring refrigerated warehouses to provide generators for refrigerated trucks. Require air pollution point sources to be located at safe distances from sensitive sites such as homes and schools.
5.8 Disaster Preparedness, Response, and Recovery
A disaster is a sudden and dramatic emergency. When a disaster occurs, the threatened community strives to; 1) protect its residents to the extent possible; 2) care for victims; and 3) restore basic services as soon as possible. To do this, a community needs to respond quickly and dynamically, and as effectively as possible. This requires preparation at all levels, from the Federal government (for large-scale disasters) down to individual neighborhoods, families and businesses. Planning issues pertaining to emergency response, disaster preparedness, and disaster recovery require an assessment of the hazards, identification of functions and resources to handle both short -term and long -term response, and development of recovery procedures. Planning can help speed the response to an emergency, while ensuring that the response is appropriate to the situation. Some level of preparedness, however basic, can be very useful to facilitate the safety and recovery of people who live and work in the City of Menifee.
Goal S 6: A City that responds and recovers in an effective and timely manner from natural disasters such as flooding, fire, and earthquakes, and as a result is not impacted by civil unrest that may occur following a natural disaster.
Policies
S-6.1 Continuously review, update and implement emergency preparedness, response and recovery plans that make the best use of the City and County -specific emergency management resources available.
S-6.2 Ensure to the fullest possible extent that, in the event of a major disaster, critical, dependent care and high-occupancy facilities remain functional.
S-6.3 Work with the Riverside County Airport Land use Commission to strengthen the City’s disaster preparedness, response and recovery program in accordance with the Airport Land Use Plans for March Air Reserve Base and Perris Valley Airport.
S-6.4 Locate new essential or critical facilities away from areas susceptible to impacts or damage from a natural disaster.
S-6.5 Promote strengthening of planned and existing critical facilities and lifelines, the retrofit and rehabilitation of existing weak structures, and the relocations of Item Title: 12.1

certain critical facilities as necessary to adequately meet the needs of Me nifee’s residents and workforce.
5.9 Climate Adaptation and Resiliency
Senate Bill 379 requires all cities to include climate adaptation and resiliency strategies to their General Plan Safety Element. The goal and policies below are based on the City’s Climate Vulnerability Assessment prepared in 2021 as part of the City’s Safety Element Update, which identifies the exposure risks; sensitive structures, functions, and populations; potential impacts and risks; and the City’s adaptive capabilities.
Goal S- 7: A community that has protected its sensitive structures, functions, and populations from the risks associated with climate change.
Policies
S-7.1: Continue to require environmental analysis for proposed projects which may produce harmful levels of greenhouse gas.
S-7.2: Ensure that the City’s water supply is protected against drought conditions intensified by climate change.
S-7.3: Coordinate with energy providers to ensure reliable energy availability for the City’s residents.
S-7.4: Promote alternative forms of energy production such as solar or wind power.
S-7.5: Promote the use of climate ready architecture designed to maintain adequate indoor climate with minimal energy use.
S-7.6 Continue to monitor potential climate risks occurring within the City.
S-7.7: The City shall maintain consistent outreach to notify the community of extreme weather hazards such as extreme heat, severe rain events, and potential wildfire risk.
S-7.8: The City shall communicate the location and availabili ty of shelters in cases of hazardous climate conditions such as wildfire, severe rain events, and extreme temperatures.
S-7.9: Promote drought resistant landscaping to continue reducing water consumption and potential fuel sources.
6.0 Police Services
In November 2018, the Menifee City Council voted to create their own police department. Being a young city, which incorporated in 2008, this was a bold step on the City Council’s part.
Menifee is one of the fastest growing and vibrant cities in America and it only made sense to have local control of their own police department. On July 1, 2020, the Menifee Police Department officially entered service with over 60 officers and 17 professional staff.
Goal S-8: A community that provides high-quality police services
Policies
S-8.1: Utilize technology and IT infrastructure such as mobile platforms allowing for connectivity at remote work sites in the event of displacement.

6.1 Mitigation Projects
The following table identifies a portion of mitigation projects that are ongoing, in progress and/or within a specific time frame as well as t he resources and funding needed. Priorities in the projects include some that were carried from the previous plan as well as an addition of Capital Improvement Projects which will help mitigate some concerned areas. These projects will serve as top priority in the City’s mitigation efforts to reduce incidents such as flooding and traffic circulation hazards. As Menifee matures, amenities are built, and new residents join the community. While the population grows, so does the need to increase our response times in emergency situations thus the projects below would assist in the process. These projects are prioritized based on a combination of need, funding availability and readiness to begin.

6.3 Additional Development Update
The city has experienced significant growth and development since the adoption of the 2015 LHMP including residential and non-residential development. The development has primarily occurred near the City’s major arterial corridors, in areas designated for urban l and use in the General Plan Land Use Element. The development that has occurred is primarily located away from hazard prone areas such as flood zones, and high fire hazard areas. By locating development away from hazard prone areas, the city has minimized its overall vulnerability to natural hazards. Since the adoption of the City’s first General Plan was adopted in 2013 and since the adoption of the LHMP in 2015, the following major specific plans were approved for development:
• Audie Murphy Ranch Specific Plan (approved June, 2014) - The Audie Murphy Ranch Specific Plan is located along Newport Road in the western portion of the City. The specific plan is approximately 1,113 acres planned for both residential and nonresidential uses. The SP is entitled for a maximum of 2,157 dwelling units. Project nearly complete.
• Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan (approved November 4, 2015) - The Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan is in the northwestern portion of the City of Menifee and consists of 756 single-family residential units. Project yet to be developed. • Legado Specific Plan (approved June 17, 2020) - The Legado Specific plan is located on the east side of the I-215 north of McCall Boulevard in the northern central portion of the city. The specific plan is approximately 331 acres of land and is surrounded by existing residential developments. It is entitled for 216.9 acres of residential for a total 1,061 units. Project yet to be developed.
• Rockport Ranch Specific Plan (approved June 3, 2020) - The Rockport Ranch Specific Plan is located on eastern edge of the City south of Old Newport Road, a centrally located east west roadway. The specific plan’s land use includes 38 acres of residential accompanied by 20 acres of recreational trails and open space and is entitled for a maximum of 305 units. Project yet to be developed.
6.4 Plan Maintenance
Monitoring, Evaluating, and Updating the Plan
The Hazard Mitigation Plan is a living document that reflects the City’s ongoing hazard mitigation activities. The process of monitoring, evaluating, and updating the Plan will be critical to the effectiveness of hazard mitigation. The City of Menifee Emergency Management Division will be responsible for maintaining, evaluating, and updating the Plan during the 5-year cycle.
The City’s Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC) will play a cr ucial role in providing direction, input, and guidance. The City’s Emergency Management Analyst will lead the HMPC and will review and recommend for approval any Plan updates proposed by the HMPC. The plan will be reviewed annually and updated every five years. Recommendation for plan revisions will be based on the following criteria:
• Changes in federal or state laws.
• Accomplishment of Actions, Objectives and Goals.
• Advances in knowledge or understanding of hazards.
• Additional hazard events, including federally declared disasters. • Changes in the City’s risk to the identified and/or additional hazards. • Performance of mitigation projects during hazard events.

The HMPC will convene annually to review the progress made towards the p lan’s goals and objectives. The HMPC will review each goal and objective to determine their relevance to changing situations in the City, as well as changes in state or federal policy and laws to ensure that the plan is addressing current and expected conditions. The HMPC will also review the risk assessment section of the p lan to determine if this information should be updated or modified. The parties responsible for the various implementation actions will report on the status of their projects and will include which implementation processes worked well, any difficulties encountered, how coordination efforts were proceeding, and which strategies should be revised.
6.5 City Programs
The City of Menifee has multiple programs that focus on preparedness and education al outreach. Below are some of the events, programs, procedures, and policies in place as well as future goals.
Preparedness Programs
The City’s Community Emergency Response Team also known as CERT is a network of dedicated community volunteers that have been FEMA trained and can assist during an emergency. Within the program, the city also offers 20-hour CERT classes where residents can learn the basic skills that are important to know in a disaster when emergency services are not available. Additionally, the city hosts monthly meetings with residents to participate in community discussions with City Staff and first responders. When it comes to financial capabilities, t he City regularly applies for State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) grant funds and Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) funds in order to offer more resources to the public as well as expand on any emergency management related needs.
Public Engagement
The City of Menifee has multiple policies and procedures for outreach. Currently, the city is in the process of finalizing its Communications Manual. The Communications manual is intended to ensure the city is providing relevant, accurate, clear and consistent information to the public and effectively conveying the value of Menifee’s operations, programs and services . The city also has conducted Emergency Preparedness Workshops, National Night Out participation and other Community event presentations. Other forms of outreach are distributed via the City’s social media platforms, press releases, council meetings and more!
Future Goals
The City will continue to review its’ policies and procedures in order to expand its’ existing outreach capabilities. This will include, planning and organization of future trainings on the City’s communication outreach. Additionally, the city will explore funding opportunities for future public emergency management related events to increase preparedness efforts.
6.6 Continued Public Involvement/Conclusion
The City of Menifee is dedicated to involving the public in the continual reshaping and updating of the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. The HMPC members will review the plan to include City Department staff such as the Emergency Manager, City Engineer, GIS Consultant, Police etc.
Additionally, GIS staff will coordinate and explore future ways to view virtual platform reporting of debris prone areas, faults, etc. as funding becomes available. Copies of the Plan updates will be kept on the City’s website under the Emergency Management Page. The plan will also remain on the City’s main page to allow year-round feedback from the public or stakeholders.

2022 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP)
1.0 Executive Summary
The City of Menifee Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) helps to ensure the city is less vulnerable to future hazard events. This plan was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), as amended by Section 322 of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 and the 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 201 – Mitigation Planning, to be eligible for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Pre-Disaster Mitigation and Hazard Mitigation Grant programs.
Hazard Mitigation, along with preparedness, response, and recovery are the four phases of emergency management. Hazard mitigation is the only phase of emergency management specifically dedicated to breaking the cycle of damage, reconstruction, and repeated damage.
The City of Menifee followed a planning process prescribed by FEMA, which began with the formation of a Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC) in February 2021. The committee is comprised of the Menifee Police Department, City Departments, CAL FIRE, and Riverside County Fire. As the City was not on the Riverside County’s plan update cycle, the City of Menifee embarked on doing an update of the 2015 LHMP. Updating the 2015 plan, gives the C ity a better chance of being eligible for FEMA mitigation grants once the plan is approved. Riverside County will update its plan and the city will join next cycle to increase collaboration with other cities by sharing technical expertise and increase resources from the County. At that time, the city will also dive into reviewing all natural hazards that is affecting or may affect the city.
Through this process, the HMPC conducted a risk assessment that identified and profiled hazards that pose a risk to the City of Menifee, assessed the City’s vulnerability to these hazards, and examined the capabilities in place to mitigate them. The public was given formal notice of the City’s Hazard Mitigation planning and invited its residents and stakeholders to participate. Based on t he planning process, the city is vulnerable to several hazards that are identified, profiled, and analyzed in this plan. Earthquakes, floods, power outages, transportation concerns and Wildfire/Urban Fires are among the hazards that can have a significant impact on the city. However, with careful planning and collaboration among publ ic agencies, stakeholders, and citizens, it is possible to minimize losses that can occur from disasters. Based on the risk assessment, the HMPC identified goals and objectives for reducing the City’s vulnerability to hazards. The overall goal of the plan as a whole is to 1) Protect life, property, and environment; 2) Provide public awareness; 3) Protect the continuity of government; and 4) Improve emergency management, preparedness, collaboration, and outreach.
Following the completion of the plan, t he LHMP was submitted to the Riverside County Emergency Management Department (EMD) for review. The City also submitted the LHMP to California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) for review as well as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for approval. Upon approval, the City will insert the signed resolution into the LHMP.

1.3 O fficial Record of Documentation
This section provides a general and comprehensive view of the Disaster Act of 2000. This includes a review of the federal requirements, City adoption and supporting documentation. 1 .4 Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 Requirements
The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000), commonly known as the 2000 Stafford Act Amendment, was approved by Congress on October 10, 2000. On October 30, 2000, the President signed the bill into law, creating public Law 106- 390. The legislation reinforces the importance of mitigation planning and emphasizes planning for disasters before they occur. As such, this Act establishes a pre-disaster hazard mitigation program and new requirements for the nation post-disaster Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP).
T
he Act specifically addresses mitigation planning at the state and local levels. It identifies new requirements that allow HMGP funds to be used for planning activities and increases the amount of HMGP funds available to states that have developed a comprehensive, enhanced mitigation plan prior to a disaster. States and communities must have an approved mitigation plan in place prior to receiving post -disaster HMGP funds. Local and tribal mitigation plans must demonstrate that their proposed mitigation measures are based on a sound planning process that accounts for the risk to and the capabilities of the individual communities.
S
tate governments have certain responsibilities for implementing the Act. DMA 2000 is intended to facilitate cooperation between state and local authorities, prompting them to work together. It encourages and rewards local and state pre- disaster planning and promotes Item Title: 12.1

2022 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP)
sustainability as a strategy for disaster resistance. This enhanced planning network will better enable local and state governments to articulate accurate needs for mitigation, resulting in faster allocation of funding and more effective risk reduction projects.
To implement the DMA 2000 planning requirements, FEMA prepared an Interim Final Rule, published in the Federal Register on February 26, 2002, which establishes planning and funding criteria for states and local communities. Normally, FEMA publishes a proposed rule for public comment before publishing a final rule. This process can result in a lengthy comment and response period, during which the proposed rule is not legally effective or enforceable.
Because certain types of Stafford Act assistance are conditioned on having an approved mitigation plan, FEMA wanted to publish an effective rule providing the DMA 2000 planning requirements in order to position State and local governments to receive these mitigation funds as soon as possible.
1.5 DMA 2000 Requirements – Prerequisites
Adoption by the Local Governing Body
REQUIREMENT
§201.6(C)(5)
The local hazard mitigation plan shall include documentation that the plan has been formally adopted by the governing body of the jurisdiction requesting approval of the plan (e.g., City Council, County Commissioner, and Tribal Council).
EXPLANATION
Adoption by the local governing body demonstrates the jurisdiction’s commitment to fulfilling the mitigation goals and objectives outlined in the plan. Adoption legitimizes the plan and authorizes responsible agencies to execute their responsibilities. For final approval by FEMA, the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan must include a copy of the local governing body’s resolution, adopting the Plan.
ELEMENT A. Has the plan been formally adopted by the local governing body? B. Is a copy of the signed plan adoption resolution included?
Adoption by the local governing body and supporting documentation The City of Menifee Local Hazard Mitigation Plan meets the requirements of Section 409 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act of 1988 (Stafford Act) and Section 322 of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000). This includes complying with the requirement that the plan be adopted by the City of Menifee Council. The City of Menifee Local Hazard Mitigation Plan has been prepared by the City of Menifee HMPC and will be adopted by the City of Menifee Council via resolution.

2022 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP)
1.7 Background and Introduction
The DMA 2000 emphasizes greater interaction between State and local hazard identification, mitigation planning and other mitigation activities. In addition, both the State and Federal Governments have a continuing interest in streamlining the mitigation planning, implementation and project funding process.
1.8 Purpose and Authority of the Plan
Hazard mitigation is any action that reduces the effects of future disasters. It has been demonstrated that hazard mitigation is most effective when based on an inclusive, comprehensive, long-term plan that is developed before a disaster occurs. The City of Menifee Local Hazard Mitigation Pl an’s purpose is to fulfill the F ederal DMA, which calls for all communities to prepare mitigation plans. The plan includes resources and information to assist City residents, public and private sector organizations, and others interested in participating in planning for hazards. The plan provides a list of mitigation activities that may assist the city in reducing risk and preventing loss from future hazard events. Hazard mitigation, along with preparedness, response, and recovery are the four phases of emergency management.
Hazard mitigation is the only phase of emergency management specifically dedicated to breaking the cycle of damage, reconstruction, and repeated damage. The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000), Section 322 (a- d) requires that local governments, as a condition of receiving federal disaster mitigation funds, have a mitigation plan that describes the process for identifying hazards, risks and vulnerabilities, identify and prioritize mitigation action, encourage the development of local mitigation and provide technical support in those efforts.
This mitigation plan serves to meet those requirements.
1.9 Plan Description
The City of Menifee Local Hazard Mitigation Plan consists of the following information:
Community Profile
This section provides details of our community to provide sufficient background on the hazard profiles and risk assessments that are presented in subsequent sections. This description includes regional setting, history, government, and also includes information regarding the climate, population, demographics, and economy.
Vulnerability Assessment
Through this process the planning committee identified and gathered corresponding data on all potential hazards that present a danger to the City of Menifee. The information gathered includes historical data on natural hazard events that have occurred in and near the City and what impact these events has on residents and their property.
Risk Assessment
This section utilizes the information gathered through the vulnerability assessment process to determine what assets in the community will be affected by the hazard event.
The inventory of assets includes people, housing units, critical facilities, infrastructure, hazardous materials facilities, and commercial facilities. This data was compiled by assessing the potential impacts from each hazard using past events. The information in this section provides the city with information that outlines the full range of hazards the city may face and potential social impacts, damages and economic losses.

Mitigation Strategy
This section identifies mitigation actions/measures and implementation strategies for the city. Additionally, this section provides a comprehensive strategy for addressing mitigation priorities. The mitigation measures include preventive actions, property protection techniques, struc tural projects, natural resource protection strategies, emergency services and public education and awareness activities.
2.0 Planning Process
This section describes the process in which the plan was developed. The City of Menifee met with Riverside County Emergency Management Department (EMD) and California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) on February 4, 2021 to discuss what was going to be needed to update of the City’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. Following the discussion, city staff began the planning process and timeline for the update. Additionally, below are the dates of when local government reviewed.
On February 16, 2021, the city requested City Department heads to provide a representative from each department for the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC).
On March 11 , 2021, the HMPC met and discussed the importance of the plan, historical background of the 2015 plan, identified the hazards affecting the city as well as the internal and external participation need for the development of the plan. All of the items discussed lead to the revised LHMP which was ready for input by stakeholders, agencies and public.
On August 24, 2021, staff provided the updated plan and requested additional information from the HMPC, and the plan was revised thereafter.
On September 29, 2021, staff provided a formal notice for the public/stakeholders to comment via a press release. The feedback period was open until October 31 st.
On November 10, 2021, the LHMP was reviewed by Riverside County Emergency Management Department.
On February 7, 2022, Cal OES reviewed the plan and asked additional information to which the city made the changes. Following that, Cal OES sent the plan formally to FEMA for review.
On April 20, 2022, FEMA reviewed the plan and requested minor revisions from the city. The city met with Cal OES and discussed the requests.
On October 24, 2022 the City and FEMA had a meeting regarding the plan and reviewed the changes that were made as well as discussed additional clarification.
On November 23, 2022, the plan was resubmitted to FEMA for final approval of the plan.

2.7 History
The area was originally inhabited by the Luiseño people, specifically the Pechanga band. In the 18th century, the area fell under Spanish rule and was ceded by Mexico to the United States in 1850 as a result of the Mexican American War. Farming, which began in the mid-19th century was concentrated in the Menifee area. Mining began in the early 1880s with the discovery of a significant quartz lode by miner Luther Menifee Wilson, from which Menifee derived its name.
Early development of the Menifee area began with Sun City in the early 1960s as the concept of an active retirement community envisioned by Del Webb, a building contractor from Phoenix, Arizona. Webb als o developed Sun City, Arizona under the same concept. Sun City is a centrally located neighborhood within Menifee with a mix of residential and commercial activity.
The Menifee area later grew during the late 1980s and into the early 1990s as a master-planned community. There has been substantial growth in Menifee with new home construction with large lakes, and fine amenities, attracting many residents from the Inland Empire and Los Angeles to live. On June 3, 2008, the residents of the communities encompassing the Menifee area voted to incorporate together to form Riverside County’s 26 th City. The City of Menifee
was officially established on October 1, 2008.

3.2 Risk Assessment
This section identifies the hazards that may affect the City of Menifee, profiles of the major hazards, assess the risk of such hazards, describe the City’s vulnerability, and estimate potential losses from the hazards.
3.3 DMA 2000 Requirements
The overall DMA 2000 requirements for the risk assessment are shown in the table below. The requirements mandate only natural disasters be addressed; however, the City of Menifee has also included the most significant human-caused hazards in this plan.
Risk Assessment – Overall
REQUIREMENT
§201.6(c)(2)
Local risk assessment must provide sufficient information to enable the jurisdiction to identify and prioritize appropriate mitigation actions to reduce losses from identified hazards. This includes detailed descriptions of all the hazards that could affect the jurisdiction along with an analysis of the jurisdiction’s vulnerability to those hazards.
Specific information about numbers and types of structures, potential dollar losses, and an overall description of land use trends in the jurisdiction must be included in this analysis.
EXPLANATION
The local risk assessment should identify what hazards are likely to affect the area.
The plan should describe the sources used to identify hazards, noting any data limitations, and provide an explanation for eliminating any hazards from consideration.
The process for identifying hazards could involve one or more of the following:
Reviewing reports, plans, flood ordinances, and land use regulations among others:
Talking to experts from federal, State, and local agencies and universities. Searching the Internet and newspapers; and
Interviewing long-time residents.
3.4 Identifying and Screening Hazards
The City of Menifee HMPC identified several hazards that are addressed in the plan. These hazards included th ree broad categories such as Natural, Technological and Man- Made Hazards such as described in the Riverside County 2018 Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (see graph in section 3.5 below). The hazards were identified among the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee as well as through public input and researching past disasters that have frequently occurred in Menifee.
3.5 Hazard Identification Ranking, Location, and Probability For the purpose of this year’s update, the City of Menifee will be focusing on the following five hazards listed below. The reasoning behind this rationale was that the City will be doing an more in-depth review during the update when the City jumps back into the County’s cycle. For Item Title: 12.1

2022 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP)
this update, the city focused on five known hazards that typically occur. These five hazards were ranked from one (1) to five (5), with one (1) being the most urgent. The ranking was done based on the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC) discussions on the typical areas of concern from previous incidents. Probability, health systems impact, and mitigation capabilities were all taken into consideration while reorganizing the hazard ranking as well. The probability information was taken from the 2018 County of Riverside Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. Based on their assessment, the probability of each hazard in Riverside County was determined by rating their occurrence level from 0 - 4, in which each level or number represented a specific descriptor. For example, improbable = (0), remote = (1), occasional = (2), probable = (3), and frequent = (4). Each descriptor was defined accordi ng to how often each hazard occurs in Riverside County.
• Level 0: Improbable means it is not likely to happen in more than ten years • Level 1: Remote means it happens once in ten years
• Level 2: Occasional means it happens once in five years • Level 3: Probable means it happens once every two years (biannual) • Level 4: Frequent means it happens at least once a year (annually)
