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: 67
Menifee Mayor and City Council
March 1, 2023
Page
603 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

Menifee Mayor and City Council

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.

3.8 FLOOD INSURANCE RATE MAPS (FIRM)
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.

4.0 HAZARD PROFILES
Earthquake, Probability = 2

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.

2020 5.5
On June 3, 2020, a magnitude 5.5 earthquake struck about 13 miles from Ridgecrest, and 10 miles south of Searles Valley, in the Mojave Desert.
2020 5.8
After a foreshock with a magnitude of 4.6 two days earlier, on June 24, a magnitude 5.8 earthquake struck about 12 miles southeast of Lone Pine, in Inyo County.
2020 4.5 A magnitude 4.5 earthquake struck in Los Angeles, about 10 miles east of the Los Angeles Civic Center, late at night on September 18. 2020 4.9 A swarm of hundreds of small earthquakes south of the Salton Sea caused thousands of local people to feel “strong” shaking. 2021 6.0
Several dozen earthquakes struck Little Antelope Valley. The largest, a 6.0 magnitude, occurred along the eastern edge of the Sierra Nevada, a major physiographic boundary along the California-Nevada border.

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-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

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-7.8: 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 M i
tigation 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 the 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.

2022 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP)

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 land 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:
• A
udie 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 P l
an 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 crucial 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.

ity 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.

P
reparedness 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, the 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.

P
ublic 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! Fut
ure 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 C
ontinued 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.

•Goal 1 – Safe & Attractive Community: Provide a full range of services that meet the highest professional and accredited standards of public safety by protecting life, maintaining order, and safeguarding property within our community. •Goal 2 – Livable & Economically Prosperous Community: Develop mechanisms to foster a robust economy, solid educational opportunities, and jobs. •Goal 3 – Responsive & Transparent Community Government: Foster efficient multi-modal communication to inform and educate our community to develop a clear sense of place and establish our unique identity.
•Goal 4 – Accessible & Interconnected Community: Create and maintain functionally appropriate, sustainable, accessible, and high-quality infrastructure and facilities.

The implementation plan lists the projects identified to meet the goals and objectives established by the Mayor and City Council in the Plan. This document has continued to evolve as new projects are introduced, and projects are reprioritized based on available resources, staffing, capital, Item Title: 12.2

Public Safety Projects (Implementation Plan Section 1)
During this reporting period, the City completed a comprehensive public safety services assessment and established the Menifee Police Department (PD). Since its inception, the Menifee PD has opened a Police substation in Sun City, established the Menifee Homeless Task Force, assumed responsibility for the City’s Code Enforcement Division, and implemented numerous program enhancements and ordinance updates. Since the May 2022 update, the PD has completed the implementation of the Illegal Dumping Enforcement Program to ensure that the City is able to deter and address illegal dumping activity. The review of the City’s graffiti abatement, noise, foreclosed property registration, massage business, and weed abatement ordinances is underway and scheduled for completion by the end of the fiscal year. Additionally, an evaluation of the location and need for commercial truck routes in alignment with the City’s General Plan Circulation Element is in progress. After completing this evaluation, City staff will prepare an ordinance establishing commercial truck routes for City Council consideration. The PD is acquiring the necessary equipment and training staff to integrate commercial truck route enforcement as part of the City’s traffic enforcement program.

The development of a disaster recovery and safety master plan was added to the implementation list in May 2022, with the goal of becoming one of the safest cities in the county. While the City has made strides in addressing elements of the disaster recovery and safety master plan, achieving the goal of becoming one of the nation’s safest cities will require the development and implementation of a comprehensive plan that covers all aspects of public safety. This effort will take more time than can be accomplished in a single year. As such, the development of the Safety Master Plan has been incorporated as a core element of the new Strategic Plan (2023- 2028).

To further strengthen public safety a fire ladder truck was put into service in August 2021, and the new paramedic unit was put into service at Fire Station #7 located in Sun City in September 2022.

The addition of the new paramedic unit is helping to provide better citywide coverage and reduce emergency response times. Fire Department staff are also working to develop a Fire Services Strategic Plan that will establish a long-term strategy to support fire services. Phase I of the Plan will be presented by the end of the fiscal year. Additional phases of the Plan will be integrated into the City’s comprehensive Safety Master Plan. Once complete, this Plan will help guide the distribution of fire stations, personnel, and equipment to support fire services based upon the City’s population, demand for services, and available resources and infrastructure.

Land Use Projects (Implementation Plan Section 2)
During the course of the last five years, the City has undertaken a wide range of community and economic development initiatives to help the City to build a robust economy, create educational opportunities, and foster job growth. These efforts have included the creation of a comprehensive economic development strategy establishing a blueprint for the diversification of the City’s economy. Staff in the Economic Development Department have also created a foreign direct investment strategy and are on track to have the foreign affairs program in place by the end of this fiscal year. Once established, this program will help encourage foreign investment and assist local businesses to navigate the complexities of exporting goods. Since the last update provided in May 2022, the Explore Menifee campaign was launched with social media content, videos, and a visitor’s guide scheduled for release this spring. These efforts are designed to help develop the Item Title: 12.2

City’s tourism industry. During this reporting period, the City’s Development Impact Fees (DIF) were updated, and a comprehensive development code update has been completed. Each of these multiyear efforts are important elements required to build a strong economic base and provide the resources needed to support the City’s infrastructure and essential services.

In October 2022, the City Council Sphere of Influence Ad Hoc Committee was established.

Working together with the County of Riverside, the Winchester-Homeland Municipal Advisory Council (MAC), and other regional partners, this Committee has been tasked with identifying ways to address the impacts of growth and development in the unincorporated areas of Riverside County (i.e., physical and service infrastructure). Additionally, the City Council Parks Ad Hoc Committee was established in August 2022. Working in collaboration with City staff and Valley- Wide Recreation and Park District (Valley-Wide) the committee will seek ways to better serve the needs of Menifee residents as they relate to parks and recreational facilities and gain a greater understanding of the issues associated with any potential annexation/detachment process. The combined efforts of these two committees will continue into the next five-year Strategic Planning period, helping to address the regional infrastructure and services needed to serve City residents and businesses.

Since the Plan was adopted, the City has continued to add unique recreation amenities as parks are developed. This is exemplified with the addition of the Gale Webb Action Sports Park in November 2022 featuring a bicycle pump track and obstacle course and the addition of the agrarian-themed all-inclusive playground with a zip line currently under construction at Remington Park. The Parks Master Plan update scheduled for completion in the spring of this year will guide the City in determining the need for and placement of parks, trails, and recreational facilities moving forward.

Facilities Projects (Implementation Plan Section 3)
Since the Plan was adopted in 2018, the City has made investments in a range of facilities-related projects designed to better serve the community. These investments include the renovation of the police substation located on Bradley Road and the replacement of the Quail Valley Fire Station #5. Scheduled for completion in December 2023, the new Fire Station will be a state-of-the-art facility able to support more personnel and equipment.

Assessments of the current and future operational space needs for City Hall, the Police Station, and the Public Works MOC were completed in August 2022. These assessments provide an analysis of the maximum space requirements anticipated for each of these facilities based upon the City’s growth projections for the next two decades, considered in relation to the size of the City-owned properties capable of supporting the specified City services. Given the projected cost and complexity of these facility development projects, careful consideration will need to be given to the timing of each project. City staff are in the process of completing a comprehensive analysis of financing options available to support the City’s public facility infrastructure needs. This analysis will be used to help prioritize projects included within the CIP in relation to current and future needs, considered in combination with available resources.

The City has also made significant investments in assessing and upgrading antiquated information technology systems and equipment to improve efficiency while also protecting against cybersecurity threats. This includes the completion of the City’s Information Technology (IT) Item Title: 12.2

Infrastructure Projects (Implementation Plan Section 4) During the course of the last five years, the City has allocated 86% of the City’s capital budget, totaling $98 million, to transportation-related infrastructure projects. This includes but is not limited to the following projects:
•Pavement Management Program Update - Completed
•Scott Road/Interstate 215 Interchange Improvements (CIP 14-03) - Completed •Holland Road Overpass (CIP 13-03) – In Progress
•Bradley Bridge Over Salt Creek (CIP 13-04) – In Progress •Evaluation of Streetlights in the City’s Rural Areas – Phase I Quail Valley Area (CIP 23- 08) - In Progress
As part of the Welcome Mat Program, City staff have continued to seek grant opportunities that will provide for landscape and site improvements around the City’s freeway interchanges. This effort will continue into the next five-year planning period with staff working to incorporate streetscape beautification as a core component of all major roadway improvement projects around the City’s main corridors. Additionally, the development of the Citywide Signage and Wayfinding Program is well underway. Once complete, staff will begin to integrate signage enhancements as part of the City’s CIP in conjunction with other streetscape beautification efforts.

Completion of a Specific Plan for the Southern Gateway will continue into the next five-year planning period. This will be an essential element in guiding land use in this important economic development corridor.

Understanding the need for, and importance of having access to reliable internet service, the City is in the process of developing a Smart Cities & Broadband Master Plan scheduled for completion by the end of the fiscal year. The Plan will identify the need within the city for expanded broadband services and show that our community can financially support additional service providers to encourage service expansion throughout the city.

Community Outreach Projects (Implementation Plan Section 5) During the course of the last five years, the City has made significant investments in improving transparency and providing better access to information about City operations and public records.

With the establishment of the Communications Division, the City has enhanced public education and outreach through electronic and print publications (e.g. quarterly Menifee Matters magazine, homeowners association newsletters, and increasing the City’s social media presence) in addition to holding regular Chat with the City Manager town hall meetings.

The City’s website has been enhanced to provide greater public access to information. These improvements include the addition of an online records lookup system, the establishment of an online permitting portal, and the integration of the Menifee Open platform providing residents with easy access to information on the City’s financial and strategic planning performance.

In February, the City launched Menifee TV, the City’s public, educational, and governmental (PEG) television channel enhancing the City’s ability to share information with the community in a timely and transparent manner. Programming can be accessed through the City’s website and using Spectrum and Frontier cable service. City staff are continuing to work with Mediacom to have Menifee TV added to their cable channel line-up. To support the channel and expand access to local programming, the City entered into a joint use agreement in May 2022, with Mount San Jacinto Community College District (MSJC) to share PEG channel programming. The joint-use agreement between the City and MSJC expands community access to the City’s public meetings with the live broadcast of the City Council, Planning Commission, Parks, Recreation and Trails Commission, and Senior Advisory Committee meetings on MSJC’s educational channel.

Additionally, City staff are working with MSJC to finalize an agreement that will provide for the joint use of facilities including MSJC’s new 5,000-seat football stadium, to support community events and programming.

Workforce Development Projects (Implementation Plan Section 6) To keep pace with the population growth and enhance municipal services in our community, the City has significantly increased the number of personnel serving the community in all departments since 2018. The Menifee University Program including, Menifee Leads, Menifee Mentors, Menifee Wellness, and Menifee Learns was established to support the professional growth and development needs of the City’s workforce. In April 2022, the City launched a Leadership Academy as part of the Menifee University Program. To help ensure that the City is able to attract and retain top talent to better serve the needs of the community, a classification and compensation study in addition to an employee survey is scheduled for completion by the end of the fiscal year.

Next Steps
City staff will continue to work towards completion of the tasks remaining on the 2018-2023 Plan through the end of the fiscal year. Those items that will carry forward into the next five-year planning period are identified in the attached summary and have been incorporated into the 2023- 2028 Strategic Plan.

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Adoption of the 2023-2028 Strategic Plan
MEETING DATE: March 1, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Rebekah Kramer, Assistant to the City Manager REVIEWED BY: Rochelle Clayton, Assistant City Manager
APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Review, discuss and adopt the City of Menifee’s 2023-2028 Strategic Plan.

DISCUSSION
Background
The Strategic Plan establishes the City’s vision for the future and sets a roadmap for meeting current and future needs. The City is now in the final year of the 2018-2023 Strategic Plan and as such, it is important that as an organization we are proactive in establishing the goals and objectives that will carry the City forward into the next five-year period. To ensure that the use of resources align with the City’s goals and objectives, the new Plan will need to be adopted prior to developing the budget for the upcoming fiscal year (July 1, 2023-June 30, 2024).

On August 17, 2022, the City engaged BerryDunn to facilitate the development of the next Strategic Plan. The BerryDunn team worked with City staff to complete an environmental scan of internal and external forces impacting the organization while also engaging the community in the process. Community engagement and outreach has included a wide range of stakeholder interviews and focus group meetings, in-person and virtual community forums, as well as online community and employee surveys. The City has also contracted with FlashVote to conduct a statistically validated community survey to identify the issues and priorities important to Menifee residents. Information about the Menifee’s strategic planning process was shared through a centralized social pinpoint page posted on the City’s website and promoted through text messages, email notifications, social media, and publications (i.e., Menifee Matters, homeowners association newsletters, and community events). The information gathered from each of these sources was presented during a four-hour workshop held with the Mayor and City Council on January 10, 2023.

Based upon the information received during the Workshop on January 10, the BerryDunn team worked closely with City staff to prepare a draft Plan for review and consideration during a second Council workshop held on February 15, 2023. After receiving input from the Mayor and City Council during the February 15th workshop the Plan was further refined and is now presented for final adoption. The refinements made to the draft Plan are summarized below and shown by redline in Attachment 1.
•Objective D under the Community Engagement and Social Infrastructure strategic priority was revised to address the need for both cultural and recreational facilities in alignment with the Parks Master Plan scheduled for completion in May 2023. •The performance measure associated with the creation of an incentive program to fast- track the development process was revised to clarify that the program will be geared towards targeted industries.
•Objective E under the Safe and Vibrant Community strategic priority was refined to state that the community preparedness plan will be developed in collaboration with the City’s community partners to ensure the safety of Menifee’s neighborhoods, businesses, and vulnerable places.
•Objective G under the Safe and Vibrant Community strategic priority was modified to reference the beautification of the streetscapes in the City’s main corridors and gateways. •The performance measure associated with the City’s Pavement Condition Index (PCI) was revised to specify that the PCI will be maintained at an average rating of 70 through June 2028.

The 2023-2028 Plan includes updates to the City’s Mission and Vision Statements and establishes the guiding principles, strategic priorities, and objectives for the coming five-year period. Performance measures designed to monitor progress towards the established goals and objectives are also included.

Mission and Vision Statements
A mission statement describes the organization’s purpose or reason for existing. Based upon the input received from the Mayor and City Council, the City’s Mission Statement was restructured and enhanced to include transparency as an essential element in fulfilling the City’s purpose. •Mission Statement: The City of Menifee provides essential services through teamwork, leadership, and transparency to improve the quality of life of our community.

A vision statement defines an organization’s aspirations and desired future state. This should be a concise, forward looking, inspirational, statement aimed at improving the City. Incorporating the feedback provided by the Mayor and City Council the City’s vision statement has been refined as shown below.
•Vision Statement: Menifee is a premier, safe, thriving, and inclusive city that offers vibrant neighborhoods and panoramic scenic vistas with a rich history, flourishing arts, cultural amenities, and diverse recreation opportunities that make Menifee a desired place to live, work, play, and stay.

We know our community has big dreams for Menifee and we want to see them come true. Menifee’s citywide Strategic Plan lays a foundation for this progress, defines our shared vision for the future and focuses City resources on five key strategic priorities: Unique Identity, Community Engagement and Social Infrastructure, Thriving Economy, Safe and Vibrant Community, and Connectivity and Mobility. These priorities, and their supporting goals and objectives, came from considerable community input and feedback. These priorities drive us toward meaningful outcomes and big steps forward on the road to reaching our collective long-term vision.

What does a strategic plan do?
Charts the Course
The Strategic Plan’s five-year timeline allows for thoughtful sequencing of initiatives. The alignment with the City’s annual budget process creates a stronger connection
between finances and operations. With the Strategic Plan as a guide, other City plans and initiatives will be built to align. In addition to priorities, goals and objectives, this plan includes performance measures for
government transparency, accountability, and
ongoing improvement.
