Agenda packet, first session — Menifee City Council, February 21, 2024 (part 3 of 10)

RCM GEO-2: Prior to the issuance of grading and/or building permits, the Applicant shall provide evidence to the City for review and app roval that proposed structures, features, and facilities to be constructed on the Project site have been designed and will be constructed in conf ormance with applicable provisions of the most current edition of the California Building Code in effect at the time of development applic ation submittal and that the Final Geotechnical Assessment’s recommendations conform to the most current California Building Code. Additionally, the Applicant shall provide evidence to the City that the recommendations cited in the project -specific Final Geotechnical Assessment are incorporated into project plans and/or implemented as deemed appropriate by the City. The Final Geotechnical Assessment recommendations may inc lude, but are not limited to, removal of existing vegetation, utilities, and any other surface and subsurface improvements that would n ot remain in place for use with the structures constructed on the Project site. Remedial earthwork, overexcavation, and ground improvement shall occur to depths specified in the Final Geotechnical Assessment to provide a sufficient layer of engineered fill or densified soil beneath str uctural footings/foundations, as well as proper surface drainage devices and erosion control. Retaining wall parameters shall be in accordance with the Final Geotechnical Assessment to protect against lateral spreading and on -site landslides. Construction of concrete structures in contact with subgrade soils determined to be corrosive shall include measures to protect concrete, steel, and other metals. Verification t esting must be performed upon completion of ground improvements to confirm that the compressible soils have been sufficiently densified. The structural engineer must determine the ultimate thickness and reinforcement of the building flood slabs based on the imposed slab loadin g. The recommendations of the Final Geotechnical Assessment shall be implemented to the satisfac tion of the City’s Building and Safety Director or designee.

RCM GEO-3: Prior to the start of construction, all field personnel shall be briefed regarding the types of fossils that could be found in the Project area and the procedures to follow should paleontological resources be encountered. This training shall be accomplished at the pre -grade kickoff meeting or morning tailboard meeting and shall be conducted by the Project Paleontologist or his/her representative. Specifically, the training shall provide a description of the fossil resources that may be encountered in the Project area, outline steps to follow in the event that a fossil discovery is made, and provide contact information for the Project Paleontologist and on -site monitor(s). The training shall be developed by the P roject Paleontologist and may be conducted concurrently with other environmental training (cultural and natural resources awareness training, safety training, etc.).

Prior to the start of construction, at the pre-
grade kickoff meeting or morning tailboard
meeting.

Project Paleontologist / City of Menifee
RCM GEO-4: Prior to the commencement of ground-disturbing activities, a qualified professional paleontologist shall be retained to prepare and implement a Paleontological Resource Impact Mitigation Program (PRIMP) for the Project. Initially, full -time monitoring is recommended for grading and excavation activities 4 feet below ground surface that will disturb previously undisturbed Quaternary older alluvium (Qof). D ue to soil development and previous agricultural disturbances, monitoring shall not be required in Project areas where construction acti vities disturb native sediments at depths less than 4 feet below ground surface. Spot -checking may occur in previously undisturbed young alluvia l deposits (Qya) in order to determine if Project activities are impacting the underlying highly sensitive Pleistocene units. Monitoring shall not be required in Project areas underlain by geologic units with no paleontological resource potential (i.e., the granodiorite to tonalite, Kdvg).

Monitoring shall entail the visual inspection of excavated or graded areas and trench sidewalls. In the event that a paleonto logical resource is discovered, the monitor shall have the authority to divert temporarily the construction equipment around the find until it is assessed for scientific significance and collected. In areas of high sensitivity, monitoring efforts can be reduced or eliminated at the d iscretion of the Project Paleontologist if no fossil resources are encountered after 50 percent of the excavations are completed.

Prior to the commencement of any ground-
disturbing construction activities.

Project Paleontologist / City of Menifee
RCM GEO-5: Upon completion of fieldwork, all significant fossils collected shall be prepared in a properly equipped paleontology laborat ory to a point ready for curation. Preparation shall include the careful removal of excess matrix from fossil materials and stabilizing and repair ing specimens, as necessary. Following laboratory work, all fossil specimens shall be identified to the lowest taxonomic level, cataloged, analyzed, and delivered to the Western Science Center for permanent curation and storage. The cost of curation is assessed by the repository and is the responsibility of the Project owner.

At the conclusion of laboratory work and museum curation, a final report shall be prepared describing the results of the pale ontological mitigation monitoring efforts associated with the Project. The report shall include a summary of the field and laboratory methods, an overview of the Project area geology and paleontology, a list of taxa recovered (if any), an analysis of fossils recovered (if any) and their scientific significance, and recommendations. If the monitoring efforts produced fossils, then a copy of the report shall also be submitted to the Wes tern Science Center.

Draft EIR Mitigation Measures (MM) and Regularly Compliance Measures (RCM) Timing Responsible Party / Approving Agency Date Completed and Initials consistent with the California Temporary Traffic Control Handbook (CATTCH) (previously known as the California Joint Utility Traffic Control Manual). At a minimum, the CTMP shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
• Provisions for temporary traffic control to improve traffic flow on public roadways and ensure the safe access into and out o f the site (e.g., warning signs, lights and devices, and flag personnel); • Prohibiting construction-related vehicles from parking on public streets; • Providing safety precautions for pedestrians, equestrians, and bicyclists through such measures as alternate routing and protection barriers; • Obtaining the required permits for truck haul routes from the City of Menifee and/or the California Department of Transportat ion (Caltrans);
• Maintaining unobstructed emergency access to the project site and adjacent areas during all phases of construction. Flag personnel shall be trained to assist in emergency response by restricting or controlling the movement of traffic that could interfere with emerg ency vehicle access.

MM TRA-1: Prior to issuance of building permit/occupancy permits, the Project Applicant shall prepare a Transportation Demand Managemen t (TDM) strategy report for review and approval by the City Traffic/Transportation Manager. The TDM strategy shall include measures to reduce Project vehicle miles traveled (VMT), including but not limited to:
• Construction of an additional 44.8 miles of sidewalks. CAPCOA transportation measure “T -18: Provide Pedestrian Network Improvement” was deemed applicable to estimate the VMT reduction due to Project pedestrian features. Based on CAPCOA estimates, the pedest rian features have a potential to reduce 6.4 percent of the Project VMT, which is the cap or maximum for the measure. • Construction of interconnecting Class I, Class II, and Class III bike lanes throughout the interior and perimeter of the Proj ect site). Specific Plan uses would also provide appropriate bicycle facilities (i.e., racks and lockers) as required by the latest California Gr een Building Standards (CALGreen Code 5.106.4 Bicycle Parking).
o CAPCOA transportation measure “T -19A: Construct or Improve Bike Facility” was deemed applicable to estimate the VMT reduction due to Project bicycle features. Based on CAPCOA estimates, the Project bicycle design features have a potential to reduce 0.5 percent of the Project VMT for all the bicycle facilities combined. o CAPCOA transportation measure “T-10: Provide End-of-Trip Bicycle Facilities” was deemed applicable to estimate the VMT reduction due to end-of-trip bike facilities. A total of six facilities were assumed:
▪ One facility in Planning Area 6 for the proposed school site; ▪ One facility each for the Business Park uses in Planning Areas 10, 11, and 12; and ▪ Two facilities in Planning Area 13 for Commercial uses (both sides of Malaga Road). Based on CAPCOA estimates, the Project end- of-trip bicycle facilities at all six locations have a combined potential to reduce 0.4 percent of the Project VMT. • Provide Electric Vehicle Parking and EV Charging Infrastructure. CAPCOA transportation measure “T -14: Provide Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure” was deemed applicable to estimate VMT reduction via reduced GHG emissions. Based on CAPCOA estimates, provision of EV charging infrastructure has a potential to achieve a maximum VMT reduction of up to 11.9 percent, dependent on the number of EV charging stations the Project may provide (in addition to CALGreen requirements). • Unbundle Residential Parking Costs from Property Costs. CAPCOA transportation measure “T -16: Unbundle Residential Parking Costs from Property Cost” was deemed applicable to estimate VMT reduction by charging for additional residential parking space. Based on CAPCOA estimates, fee implementation of additional parking space has a potential to achieve a maximum of up to 15.7 percent VMT redu ction for the Project’s multifamily uses.
• Although proposed Project design features such as pedestrian and bicycle improvements have the potential to reduce the Projec t vehicle VMT and act as VMT mitigation measures, the Project cannot mitigate VMT impacts to a less than significant level; therefore, the Project would conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, subdivision (b).

3 Section 1: The amendment is consistent with the intent of the vision, goals and policies of the General Plan as a whole.

The General Plan land use designation of the site is SP 301, however, this GPA is being concurrently processed with a SPA to remove the Project site from the SP 301 and Specific Plan application to include the Project site within a new Specific Plan (MVSP). The GPA proposes to change the General Plan land use map to include the MVSP land use designation and remove the portion of SP 301 proposed to be removed under SPA No. PLN 21-0221.

The intent of the Specific Plan General Plan land use designation is to recognize areas where a Specific plan is in place and to provide policies, standards and criteria for the development or redevelopment of these areas.

The MVSP provides the policies, standards and criteria for development of the area.

The proposed MVSP is consistent with the General Plan. The Specific Plan provides land uses, development standards and design guidelines that implement the goals and policies of the General Plan. Roadways, trails, bike lanes, and enhanced landscape corridors have been incorporated into the Specific Plan consistent with the General Plan.

The areas surrounding the Project site consist of a mix of land uses, including industrial, residential, and public/quasi-public facilities. The area is dominated by Southern California Edison’s (SCE) Valley Power Station, one of the largest in the SCE portfolio and the SCE service station, which is a facilities and operations maintenance facility. The Project site is bounded on the north by State Route 74 (SR-74) and the west by Menifee Road, both identified in the City’s General Plan as designated truck routes. Directly south is the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad tracks (BNSFRR), SCE transmission facilities, and Matthews Road (a dirt road designated only as a paper street). Directly to the east is Briggs Road. Nearby single-family residential uses include the Heritage Lake residential community to the south on the opposite side of the BNSFRR and other residential subdivisions under the jurisdictional authority of unincorporated Riverside County to the east.

Vacant land planned for commercial and industrial uses is located to the north across SR-74. At the southeastern corner of the SR-74/Briggs Road intersection is Heritage High School, with the high school property directly abutting the Project site boundary on the high school site’s west and south sides.

Business park and commercial planning areas are adjacent to Menifee Road and SR-74 or internal to the site, away from existing residential uses and buffered from the residence to the south via berming and landscape buffering. The Project is compatible with surrounding land uses.

In addition, the Project is consistent with the following City of Menifee General Plan policies:

3 •LU-2.1 Promote infill development that complements existing neighborhoods and surrounding areas. Infill development and future growth in Menifee is strongly encouraged to locate within EDC areas to preserve the rural character of rural, estate, and small estate residential uses.

The proposed Project is located within an urbanized area, surrounded by SR-74, Menifee Road, BNSFRR rail lines, and Briggs Road. The areas surrounding the Project site consist of a mix of land uses, including industrial, residential, and public/quasi-public facilities. The proposed Project will promote infill development and complement these existing and proposed adjacent land uses.
•Policy C-1.1 Require roadways to: Comply with federal, state and local design and safety standards.

3 •HE-2.4 Parks and Recreation. Enhance neighborhood livability and sustainability by providing parks and open spaces, planting trees, greening parkways, and maintaining a continuous pattern of paths that encourage an active, healthy lifestyle.

As described above, the Project provides parks and open spaces, including expanded parkways, trees and a pattern of pathways that encourage an active healthy lifestyle.
•HE-2.5 Public Facilities and Infrastructure. Provide quality community facilities, infrastructure, traffic management, public safety, and other services to promote and improve the livability, safety, and vitality of residential neighborhoods.

The Project incorporates quality community facilities, including parks, is conditioned to install infrastructure including sewer, water, roadways, and will promote and improve the livability, safety and vitality of the proposed residential neighborhoods and surrounding existing neighborhoods.
•OSC-1.2: Require a minimum of five acres of public open space to be provided for every 1,000 City residents.

Menifee Municipal Code (MMC) requires 5 acres of parkland for every 1,000 residents. The overall Specific Plan proposes 1,718 dwelling units with an estimate of 5,220 residents1 (using 3.12 person per single- family residential household and 2.48 persons per multi-family household)2. Based on the proposed residents, 26.1 acres of parkland would be required. The proposed Specific Plan proposes 29.8 acres of public parkland (Planning Areas 7A, 8A, and 8B) on the project site.

Consistency with Housing Element.

The Project would maintain the maximum residential unit count of 1,718 that was previously approved for the Project site under SP 301. Implementation of the Project would not conflict with the City’s ability to meet the affordable housing requirements. Accordingly, the Project would not conflict with the Housing Element, and impacts would be less than significant.

Section 2:The amendment prescribes reasonable controls and standards for affected land uses to ensure compatibility and integrity of those uses with other established uses.
1 87.2 percent of residential development is single-family; 12.8 percent of residential development is multi-family (per the MVSP)

87.2% * 1,718 =1,498 single-family units; 12.8% * 1,718 = 220 multi-family units

3.12 persons per unit * 1,498 units = 4,674 persons (single-family households); 2.48 persons per unit * 220 units = 546 persons (multi-family households)
4,674 + 546 = 5,220 persons

3 The Project is specifically intended to meet the finding to prescribe reasonable controls and standards for affected land uses and to ensure compatibility and integrity of those uses with other established uses. As discussed above in detail, the Project address land use compatibility via the development standards and allowable uses contained in the proposed MVSP. The Project is compatible with other established uses in the area.

Section 3:The amendment provides for the protection of the health, safety and/or general welfare of the community.

The Project would facilitate the development of a Specific Plan that includes a mix of land uses, including industrial, residential, commercial, and public/quasi-public facilities. The residential uses proposed are similar to existing development surrounding the Project site. Commercial uses proposed within the Project are located adjacent to SR-74 away from existing and planned residences and a buffer is established between the industrial park component of the Project and existing and proposed residential uses.

The Project is compatible with the surrounding land uses, general plan land use designations and zoning classifications. The Project incorporates quality design, trails, parks, landscaping and other improvements which will enhance the area upon construction. The proposed Project is in conformity with and will promote public convenience, general welfare and good land use practice.

The associated entitlements have been reviewed and conditioned by the City of Menifee Community Development Department, Engineering Department and Office of the Fire Marshal to ensure that it will not create conditions materially detrimental to the surrounding uses. Conditions of approval include substantial landscaping, park and other amenities to support the proposed residential component, roadway improvements consistent with the General Plan, expanded sidewalks and a network of bike lanes to encourage non-vehicular travel, fire infrastructure, and drainage improvements that will benefit the project site and surrounding areas.

In addition, environmental impacts resulting from the implementation of the Project have been analyzed in an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The EIR determined that potential impacts would all be less than significant with the necessary mitigation incorporated, except for significant and unavoidable impacts to Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas, Land Use and Planning and Transportation.

A Statement of Overriding Considerations (SOOC) is included for the EIR stating that the impacts of the project are acceptable and outweighed by the benefits of the Project. Except for the environmental categories of air quality, greenhouse gas, land use and planning and transportation, the proposed entitlements are not anticipated to create conditions materially detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare or injurious to or incompatible with other properties or land uses in the project vicinity.

The General Plan land use designation of the site is SP 301; however, the proposed subdivision is being concurrently processed with a SPA to remove the Project site from the SP 301 and Specific Plan application to include the Project site within a new Specific Plan (MVSP). In addition, the Project is being processed concurrently with a GPA to change the General Plan land use map to include the MVSP land use designation and remove the portion of SP 301 proposed to be removed under SPA No. PLN 21- 0221.

The TTM proposes a large-lot subdivision map for conveyance purposes and would establish lots conforming to the Planning Area boundaries as proposed by the MVSP. The TTM also include mass grading of the Project site consistent with the MVSP.

A majority of backbone roadway dedications would occur as part of the large-lot subdivision. The proposed TTM would establish a subdivision of 11 lots proposed for 577.8 acres of residential, school, recreation, conservation, public facility civic node, business park, and commercial uses and internal public roadways. The proposed land uses and roadways shown on the tentative map are consistent with the Specific Plan land uses and circulation element.

Directly south are the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) rail corridor, SCE transmission facilities, and Matthews Road (a dirt road designated only as a paper street). Directly to the east is Briggs Road.

Nearby single-family residential uses include the Heritage Lake residential community to the south on the opposite side of the BNSFRR and other residential subdivisions under the jurisdictional authority of unincorporated Riverside County to the east. Vacant land planned for commercial and industrial uses is located to the north across SR-74. At the southeastern corner of the SR-74/Briggs Road intersection is Heritage High School, with the high school property directly abutting the Project site boundary on the high school site’s west and south sides.

Business park and commercial planning areas are adjacent to Menifee Road and State Route 74 or internal to the site, away from existing residential uses and buffered from the residence to the south via berming and landscape buffering. The Project is compatible with surrounding land uses.

In addition, the TTM is consistent with the following City of Menifee General Plan policies:
•Policy LU-1.1: Concentrate growth in strategic locations to help preserve rural areas, create place and identity, provide infrastructure efficiently, and foster the use of transit options.

The TTM creates parcels that are consistent with the Specific Plan Planning Areas. The Specific Plan places appropriate uses within an area designated Specific Plan per the General Plan. Growth has been concentrated in this strategic location to help preserve rural areas.

Through the land use plan, development standards, and the design guidelines, the Specific Plan will create a unique place and develop its own identity. The Land Use Plan, Circulation Plan, Grading Plan, and Phasing Plan of the Specific Plan will ensure that that development will provide infrastructure efficiently. A combination of pathways, paseos, walkways, or similar pedestrian accesses are provided that connect the individual Planning Areas in the Specific Plan to commercial areas and recreation areas.

The TTM implements and is consistent with Land Use Plan, Circulation Plan, Grading Plan, and Phasing Plan of the Specific Plan. •Policy LU-1.5: Support development and land use patterns, where appropriate, that reduce reliance on the automobile and capitalize on Item Title: 10.5

multimodal transportation opportunities.

The TTM is consistent with the Specific Plan which provides pedestrian connections, trails, and bike lanes to facilitate multimodal transportation. The Project was designed to promote walkability. In addition, a pedestrian connection was added from the residential portion to the future potential transit stop at the southwest corner of the Project site adjacent to the existing rail lines. In addition, the Project site provides paths of travel to encourage walking of future residents to the future commercial uses and the existing sports park within the Heritage Lake community to the south across the BNSFRR rail lines.
•LU-1.7 Ensure neighborhood amenities and public facilities (natural open space areas, parks, libraries, schools, trails, etc.) are distributed equitably throughout the City.

The proposed Project provides planning areas which allow for and anticipate these types of amenities and public facilities, such as a K-5 school, green spaces, recreational amenities, and agri-commerical uses such as a community farm. The parks and paseos are distributed strategically through the Project area so that recreational amenities are nearby residents.
•LU-2.1 Promote infill development that complements existing neighborhoods and surrounding areas. Infill development and future growth in Menifee is strongly encouraged to locate within EDC areas to preserve the rural character of rural, estate, and small estate residential uses.

The proposed project is located within an urbanized area, surrounded by SR-74, Menifee Road, RCTC rail lines, and Briggs Road. The areas surrounding the Project site consist of a mix of land uses, including industrial, residential, commercial and public/quasi-public facilities. The proposed Project will promote infill development and complements these existing and proposed adjacent land uses. •Policy C-1.1 Require roadways to: Comply with federal, state and local design and safety standards.

The TTM proposes improvements for roadways, including but not limited to, Menifee Road, Briggs Road, McCall Boulevard, SR-74, McLaughlin Road and Matthews Road/Case Road, which are
consistent with the City’s General Plan and the City’s Public Works and Engineering Department Standard Details.
•Policy C-2.2 Provide off-street multipurpose trails and on-street bike lanes as our primary paths of citywide travel and explore the shared use of low speed roadways for connectivity wherever it is safe to do so.

The Project provides bike lanes and trails consistent with the General Plan.
•OSC-1.2: Require a minimum of five acres of public open space to be provided for every 1,000 City residents.

MMC requires 5 acres of parkland for every 1,000 residents. The overall Specific Plan proposes 1,718 dwelling units with an estimate of 5,220 residents 1 (using 3.12 person per single-family residential household and 2.48 persons per multi-family household) 2. Based on the proposed residents, 26.1 acres of parkland would be required.

The proposed Specific Plan proposes 29.8 acres of public parkland (Planning Areas 7A, 8A, and 8B) on the project site.

Consistency with Housing Element. The TTM is a subdivision for conveyance purposes and includes no building permits, including those for residential construction which are to be issued without further entitlement approvals. The TTM subdivides the Project area into lots that conform to the Planning Areas of the MVSP. Consistency of the MVSP with the Housing Element is a finding included in the resolution adopting the Specific Plan.

Section 2:The Tentative Map does not propose to divide land which is subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the California Conservation Act of 1965, or the land is subject to a Land Conservation Act contract but the resulting parcels following division of the land will be of an adequate size to sustain their agricultural use:

The Tentative Map does not propose to divide land which is subject to a contract entered into pursuant to the California Land Conservation Act of 1965.

Section 3:The site is physically suitable for the type of development and the proposed land use of the development.

The proposed Project includes the proposal for a TTM; the subject site is relatively flat and does not contain steep slopes or other features that would be incompatible with the proposed development except for Granite Hill located within Planning Area 7B of the Specific Plan, which the Project proposes to avoid. The surrounding area is also relatively flat. The Project site has a natural drainage pattern which flows east to west, as elevation 1 87.2 percent of residential development is single-family; 12.8 percent of residential development is multi-family (per the MVSP)

87.2% * 1,718 =1,498 single-family units; 12.8% * 1,718 = 220 multi-family units

slightly decreases from east to west. The Project proposes to preserve the existing drainage pattern. Therefore, the site is physically suitable for the type of development and the proposed land use of the site.

The Project has been reviewed by various Departments to ensure compliance with applicable regulations, including, but not limited to City of Menifee Community Development Department, Engineering Department, Police Department, and Office of the Fire Marshal. These Departments have provided conditions of approval as appropriate to ensure compliance with applicable regulations.

Section 4:The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements, with conditions of approval, are either:

1.Not likely to cause significant environmental damage or substantially and avoidable injure fish or wildlife or their habitat; or

2.Subject to an environmental impact report under which a finding has been made pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081(a)(3) that specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the environmental impact report.

Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared for the Project. In the EIR, it was found that with implementation of mitigation measures, the proposed project would not result in any significant impacts related to biological resources such as plant and animal species or their habitat. A Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan (MMRP) was prepared and identifies all mitigation measures that will be required for the project.

Biological reports were conducted to determine sensitive plant and animal species onsite and applicable mitigation measures were included in the EIR for their protection. The EIR also includes additional reports to determine consistency with the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (WR-MSHCP) and to analyze impacts to riparian/riverine areas, vernal pools, narrow endemic plant species, burrowing owl, and fairy shrimp. Review and mitigation coordination occurred with the applicable state and federal wildlife agencies.

The WR-MSHCP does not identify any covered or special-status fish species as potentially occurring on the Project site. Further, no fish or hydrogeomorphic features (e.g., perennial creeks, ponds, lakes, reservoirs) that would provide suitable habitat for fish were observed on or within the vicinity of the Project site. Therefore, no fish are expected to occur and are presumed absent from the Project site.

In addition, the EIR discusses amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, and invertebrates. Any significant impacts associated with biological resources have been mitigated to a less than significant level. In addition, standard conditions of approval pertaining to burrowing owl, nesting birds, and Stephen’s kangaroo rat and WR-MSHCP fees still apply in this case and Item Title: 10.5

shall be addressed as part of standard condition of approval compliance process. As such, the subdivision will not cause environmental damage or injure fish, wildlife, or their habitat.

The MVSP EIR (State Clearinghouse No. 2022030233) has been completed for the Project and certified by the City Council pursuant to a separate Resolution. The TTM at issue is consistent with the EIR, which the City Council has considered as part of its proceedings. The EIR includes a finding made pursuant to California Public Resources Code Section 21081 (a)(3) that specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible mitigation measures or Project alternatives identified in the EIR.

Section 5:The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems.

The proposed subdivision will include mass grading of the project site. The Project has been reviewed and conditioned by the City of Menifee Community Development Department, Engineering Department, Police Department, and Office of the Fire Marshal to ensure that it will not create conditions materially detrimental to the surrounding uses. In addition, environmental impacts resulting from the implementation of the Project and associated subdivision and mass grading have been analyzed in the MVSP EIR.

The EIR determined potential impacts would be less than significant with the necessary mitigation incorporated, except for significant and unavoidable impacts related to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, land use and planning, and transportation. A Statement of Overriding Considerations (SOOC) is included for the EIR stating that the impacts of the project are acceptable and outweighed by the benefits of the project.

With the exception of these environmental categories, the proposed entitlements are not anticipated to create conditions materially detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare or injurious to or incompatible with other properties or land uses in the Project vicinity.

Section 6:The design of the subdivision provides for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision to the extent feasible.

This TTM would create eleven separate parcels for construction of the uses allowed under the MVSP (Specific Plan No. PLN 21-0217). The Project will be designed with passive or natural heating opportunities such as solar amenities. Energy efficiency/energy conservation attributes of the Project would be complemented by increasingly stringent state and federal regulatory actions addressing enhanced building/utilities energy efficiencies mandated under California Building Codes (e.g., California Code of Regulations Title 24, including requirements for energy efficiency, thermal insulation, and solar panels and California Green Building Standards Code). Compliance itself with applicable Title 24 standards would ensure that the Project energy demands would not be inefficient, wasteful, or otherwise unnecessary.

Section 7:The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision, or the design of the alternate easements which are substantially equivalent to those previously acquired by the public will be provided.

The subdivision makes provisions for all existing and future easements for all utilities and public use purposes to avoid any conflict.

Section 8:The subdivision is consistent with the City’s parkland dedication requirements (per the Quimby Act), as applicable, in accordance with Chapter 7.75 (Parkland Dedication and Fees)
The TTM is an implementing map of SP No. PLN 21-0217. MMC requires 5 acres of parkland for every 1,000 residents. The overall Specific Plan proposes 1,718 dwelling units with an estimate of 5,220 residents (using

3.12 person per single-family residential household and 2.48 persons per multi-family household). Based on the proposed residents, 26.1 acres of parkland would be required. The proposed Specific Plan proposes 29.8 acres of public parkland (Planning Areas 7A, 8A, and 8B) on the project site.

The Specific Plan, therefore, exceeds the parkland requirement by 3.7 acres. The proposed map accommodates the parkland within its boundaries as required by the Specific Plan. The TTM has been conditioned to dedicate the parks as required by the Specific Plan.

Therefore, the proposed Project is consistent with the Quimby Act.

Section 9: CEQA Compliance. The MVSP EIR (SCH# 2022030233) has been completed for the Project and certified by the City Council pursuant to a separate Resolution. The TTM at issue is consistent with the EIR, which the City Council has considered as part of its proceedings. The EIR includes a finding made pursuant to Cal.

Pub. Res. Code Section 21081 (a)(3) that specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible mitigation measures or Project alternatives identified in the EIR.

Section 10: Approval of the Tentative Tract Map. The City Council finds that the facts present within the public record and within this Resolution provide the basis to approve TTM No. PLN 22-0033 subject to the Conditions of Approval as set forth in the attached “Exhibit A” and as shown on the attached TTM exhibits (Exhibit “B”) (provided in this Resolution.

9 area of the find is determined to be of significance due to its sacred or cultural importance as determined in consultation with the Native American Tribe(s).

All ground disturbance activities within 100 feet of the discovered cultural resources shall be halted until a meeting is convened between the developer, the archaeologist, the tribal representative(s), and the Community Development Director to discuss the significance of the find.

At the meeting, the significance of the discoveries shall be discussed and after consultation with the tribal representative(s) and the archaeologist, a decision shall be made, with the concurrence of the Community Development Director, as to the appropriate mitigation (documentation, recovery, avoidance, etc.) for the cultural resources.

Grading or further ground disturbance shall not resume within the area of the discovery until an agreement has been reached by all parties as to the appropriate mitigation. Work shall be allowed to continue outside of the buffer area and will be monitored by additional Tribal monitors if needed.

Treatment and avoidance of the newly discovered resources shall be consistent with the Cultural Resources Management Plan (CRMP) and Monitoring Agreements entered into with the appropriate tribes. This may include avoidance of the cultural resources through project design, in-place preservation of cultural resources located in native soils and/or reburial on the Project property so they are not subject to further disturbance in perpetuity as identified in Non-Disclosure of Reburial Condition.

If the find is determined to be significant and avoidance of the site has not been achieved, a Phase III data recovery plan shall be prepared by the Project archeologist, in consultation with the Tribe, and shall be submitted to the City for review and approval prior to implementation of the said plan.

Pursuant to Calif. Pub. Res. Code § 21083.2(b) avoidance is the preferred method of preservation for archaeological resources and cultural resources.

9 40.Paleontologist Required. Prior to the commencement of ground-disturbing activities, a qualified professional paleontologist shall be retained to prepare and implement a Paleontological Resource Impact Mitigation Program (PRIMP) for the Project. Initially, full- time monitoring is recommended for grading and excavation activities 4 feet below ground surface that will disturb previously undisturbed Quaternary older alluvium (Qof) and very old fan deposits (Qvof). Due to soil development and previous agricultural disturbances, monitoring shall not be required in Project areas where construction activities disturb native sediments at depths less than 4 feet below ground surface. Spot-checking may occur in previously undisturbed young alluvial deposits (Qya) in order to determine if Project activities are impacting the underlying highly sensitive Pleistocene units.

Monitoring shall not be required in Project areas underlain by geologic units with no paleontological resource potential (i.e., the granodiorite to tonalite, Kdvg).

Monitoring shall entail the visual inspection of excavated or graded areas and trench sidewalls. In the event that a paleontological resource is discovered, the monitor shall have the authority to divert temporarily the construction equipment around the find until it is assessed for scientific significance and collected. In areas of high sensitivity, monitoring efforts can be reduced or eliminated at the discretion of the Project Paleontologist if no fossil resources are encountered after 50 percent of the excavations are completed.

BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES

41.Burrowing Owl Pre-Construction Survey. A qualified biologist shall conduct a pre- construction presence/absence survey for burrowing owls within 30 days prior to site disturbance. Proof of this pre-construction survey shall be provided for approval to the City of Menifee Community Development Department, prior to issuance of any grading permits.

If burrowing owls are documented on site, the owls shall be relocated/excluded from the site outside of the breeding season following accepted protocols, as specified in MSHCP Section 6.3.2.

42.Nesting Bird Pre-Construction Survey. Prior to issuance of any grading permits, the City of Menifee Community Development Department shall confirm that the construction plans indicate that vegetation, including suitable nesting habitat for birds, shall be removed outside the bird nesting season (nesting bird season is February 15 through August 31).

If vegetation cannot be removed outside the bird nesting season (February 15 through August 31), nesting bird surveys shall be conducted within 3 days prior to project ground disturbance or vegetation removal to ensure that nesting birds protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and California Fish and Game Code are not disturbed by construction-related activities (i.e., brush clearing and noise). If nesting birds are documented on or in the immediate vicinity (within approximately 300 feet) of the project site, no construction or clearing shall be conducted within an appropriate avoidance buffer surrounding the active nest(s), as determined by a qualified biologist, until the project biologist determines that the young have fledged or the nest is no longer active.

MENIFEE VALLEY RANCH ES. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

ES. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The MENIFEE VALLEY RANCH Specific Plan No. 301 is located in the northeast portion of the City of Menifee, south of SR-74, east of Menifee Road, north of Simpson Road and west of Briggs Road.

This fourth Amendment to the M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH Specific Plan No. 301 removes the area located north of Matthews Road reducing the total number of residential development to 2,689 residential units within a 942-acre community in 21 residential planning areas, as shown on Figure ES-i, Land Use Plan - Proposed Specific Plan 301, Amendment 4. Table ES-1, Summary of Changes, shows the changes made by this Specific Plan Amendment No. 4 (SPA No. 4) to each amended planning area.

A. PROJECT HISTORY
MENIFEE RANCH Specific Plan No. 301 was adopted by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors on April 29, 1997. The original approved Menifee Ranch Specific Plan provided for the development of 482 residential units on 153 acres.

On November 5, 2002, the Riverside County Board of Supervisors approved Amendment No. 1 to Specific Plan 301 and certified EIR No. 423. Amendment No. 1 renamed the specific plan M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH, and amended the adopted Specific Plan No. 301 by adding 1,395.3 acres of property to the north, south, and east of the 153-acre site and provided for the development of 4,063 residential units. However, the project that was approved that day was slightly different from what was considered in the Draft EIR and Traffic Study that was circulated for public review. In the Public Review Draft EIR No. 423 and associated traffic study, the land use plan included three separate commercial sites totaling 32.8 acres (Planning Areas 3, 4, and 41). Subsequent to public review and prior to certification of EIR 423, Riverside County directed several changes to the Land Use Plan. As part of the certification of EIR No. 423, the County made the determination that the Land Use Plan changes did not warrant recirculation of EIR 423 for public review, and that an updated traffic study was not required. Additionally, and as noted above, as part of the County’s approval of SP 301A1, a total of 4.8 acres was added to Planning Area 41, increasing the size of Planning Area 41 from 11.6 acres to 16.4 acres.

On June 7, 2006, the Riverside County Board of Supervisors adopted Amendment No. 2 to the MENIFEE VALLEY RANCH Specific Plan No. 301. Amendment No. 2 amended M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH by replacing the golf course/clubhouse and associated residential uses with open space/recreation (includes a community clubhouse) and active adult housing in Planning Areas 11 and 12. Amendment No. 2 also re-designated the community commercial uses in Planning Area 3 along State Route 74 and Malaga Road to very high density residential uses. Amendment No. 2 increased the approved number of residential units from 4,063 to 4,352.

MENIFEE VALLEY RANCH ES. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Specific Plan No. 301, Amendment No. 4
ES-3

Additionally, Amendment No. 2 to SP 301 was found to be exempt from the provisions of CEQA and no technical studies, including traffic, were required.

In April 2008, the Riverside County Board of Supervisors approved Substantial Conformance No. 1 to Amendment No. 2 of the M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH Specific Plan No. 301. Substantial Conformance No. 1 adjusted planning area boundaries, acreages, and densities within Planning Areas 14, 18 through 20, 22A, 22C, 24, 25, 27C, 32, 39B, and 41 to accommodate development as proposed by Tentative Tract Map No. 34406. Substantial Conformance No. 1 increased the approved number of residential units from 4,352 to 4,359. The County of Riverside made the determination that No Further Environmental Documentation Is Required.

On October 1, 2008, the City of Menifee was incorporated and M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH fell within the jurisdiction of the City of Menifee. The Menifee Valley Ranch Specific Plan is separated into two communities by Matthews Road and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railroad tracks, with the northern 594- acres known as Minor Ranch, and the southern 954.3 acres known as Heritage Lake consisting of the planned development of 1,718 dwelling units north of Matthews Road an d 2,689 dwelling units south of Matthews Road as part of Heritage Lake.

On December 19, 2018, the City of Menifee City Council approved Specific Plan Amendment No. 3 (SPA No. 3) which focused primarily on the Heritage Lake portion of SP 301. Amendment #3 modified the Specific Plan by splitting Planning Area 41 into two Planning Areas (41A and 41B) and modified the Land Use Designation of PA 41 from Commercial to Medium-High Density Residential (41A) and Open Space – Recreation (41B) to accommodate Tentative Tract Map No. 37136. TM 37136 was approved for 80 single family homes in PA 41A and a 1.1- acre Private Recreation Center/Swimming Pool in PA 41B. Additionally, SPA No. 3 made other, non-substantive changes throughout the document to reflect the approvals of other Tract Maps and development of other neighborhoods within the Specific Plan which had occurred since approval of Substantial Conformance No.1 to Specific Plan Amendment #2, in April, 2008. The addition of 80 units in PA 41A together with the revised unit counts related to the approved Tract Maps resulted in an overall increase of 48 units to the Specific Plan resulting in an increase from 4,359 to 4,407 dwelling units.

B.SUMMARY OF CHANGES
Proposed Amendment No. 4 is required to accommodate modifications to the Land Use Plan for approved M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH Specific Plan No. 301, Amendment No. 3. Specifically, Amendment No. 4 entails the removal of the northern portion of the approved MENIFEE VALLEY RANCH Specific Plan No. 301(“SP301”) located north of Matthews Road, and the addition of the newly removed area to the proposed Menifee Valley Specific Plan, currently in the entitlement process in the City of Menifee, County of Riverside, State of California. Splitting away this northern section and incorporating it into the new Specific Plan will reflect the reality of how the land is actually used in the area and allow the developer and the City the opportunity to plan a modern project for the area. At present, Matthews Road acts as a distinct barrier between two very different areas: south of Matthews Road is already developed per SP301, but the specific plan areas above Matthews Road have remained almost entirely vacant. As the areas above and below Matthews Road are effectively two distinct projects, it makes sense to separate them.

The approved SP301 provides for a mix of development across 1,548.3 acres, including 4,407 dwelling units on lot sizes ranging from 4,500, 5,000, 6,000, 7,200, 8,000, and 9,000 square feet translating into a mix of Medium Density Residential, Medium High Density Residential, Medium High Density Triplex Item Title: 10.5

Planning Areas 14, 18 to 21, 39B, 41, 41A, 41B, and portions of Planning Areas 24, 25, and 31 have yet to be developed. These Planning Areas will provide for a 22 acre community park, 15 acres of greenbelt and 16 acres of commercial uses.

In summary, the changes as a result of Amendment No. 4 are listed below and are statistically summarized in Table ES-1, Summary of Changes:

● Removal of Planning Areas 1, 2, 3, 4A, 4B, 5A, 5B, 6, 7A, 7B, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12A, 12B, and 13.
● The total number of Medium Density residential on 7,200 s.f. lots will decrease from 320.3 acres and 1,205 dwelling units to 239.8 acres and 902 dwelling units. ● The total number of Medium Density Residential on 6,000 s.f. lots will decrease from 206.4 acres and 919 dwelling units to 151.3 acres and 663 dwelling units. ● Medium High Density (Active Adult) residential lots on 5,000 s.f. lots will decrease from 157.9 acres and 744 dwelling units to 0 acres and 0 dwelling units. ● Medium High Density (Active Adult) residential Triplex lots will decrease from 23.7 acres and 123 dwelling units to 0 acres and 0 dwelling units. ● Very High Multi-Family residential lots will decrease from 16.2 acres and 292 dwelling units to 0 acres and 0 dwelling units.
● Park acreage will decrease from 75.4 acres to 39.6 acres. ● High School acres will decrease from 59.8 acres to 0 acres. ● Open Space/Greenbelts & Detention Areas will decrease from 70.1 acres to 43.6 acres.

Due to the above listed adjustments, the modifications in Planning Area 1 through 13 will result in a decrease to the total project acreage from 1548.3 acres to 942.0 and the total dwelling unit count from 4,407 dwelling units to 2,689 (see Table II-1, L
and Use Summary, and Table III.A-1, Detailed
Land Use Summary).

The above-mentioned changes require that revisions be made to previously-approved M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH Specific Plan No. 301, Amendment No. 3. As the entire northern portion is being removed, the only graphical revision reflected in this document is to the Land Use Plan to show the area no longer included within this plan that will be reflected in the new Menifee Valley Specific Plan (Figure ES-I, Land Use Plan - Proposed Specific Plan 301, Amendment 4 and Figure III.A-1A, Land Use Plan – Color.

MENIFEE VALLEY RANCH I. INTRODUCTION
Specific Plan No. 301, Amendment No. 4
I-1

I. INTRODUCTION
A. DOCUMENT PURPOSE
Authorized by California Government Code §65450 et seq., a Specific Plan is used for the systematic implementation of the General Plan for all or part of the area covered by the general plan. It effectively establishes a link between implementing policies of the general plan and the individual development proposals in a defined area. As such, this document provides the City of Menifee with policies and regulations to ensure efficient, orderly development of the subject property in accordance with the City’s adopted General Plan.

The project site encompasses a total of 1,548.3 acres, located within the City of Menifee, California.

The Menifee Valley Ranch Specific Plan is separated into two communities by Matthews Road and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railroad tracks, with the northern 594 acres known as Minor Ranch, and the southern 954.3 acres known as Heritage Lake. M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH (previously known as Menifee Ranch) Specific Plan No. 301, Amendment No. 4 establishes a land use plan for the M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH planned community and effectively separates the areas above and below Matthews Road by removing the area north of Matthews Road from the M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH Specific Plan.

Menifee Ranch Specific Plan No. 301 was adopted by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors on April 29, 1997. Amendment No. 1 amended adopted Specific Plan No. 301 by adding 1,395.3 acres of property to the north, south, and east of the 153-acre site. M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH Specific Plan No. 301, Amendment No.1 encompassed the entire 1,548.3-acre project site, and was adopted by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors on December 23, 2002. On June 7, 2006, Amendment No. 2 was adopted and amended Specific Plan No. 301 by replacing the golf course/clubhouse and associated residential uses with open space/recreation (includes a community clubhouse) and active adult housing. Amendment No. 2 also re-designated community commercial uses along State Route 74 and Malaga Road with very high density residential uses. Adopted by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors on April 30, 2008, Substantial Conformance No. 1 adjusted planning area boundaries, acreages, unit counts and densities within Planning Areas 14, 18 through 20, 22A, 22C, 24, 25, 27C, 32, 39B, and 41 to accommodate development as proposed by Tentative Tract Map No. 34406. On December 19, 2018, the City of Menifee City Council approved Specific Plan Amendment No. 3which focused primarily on the Heritage Lake portion of SP 301. Amendment No. 3 modified the Specific Plan by splitting Planning Area 41 into two Planning Areas (41A and 41B) and modified the Land Use Designation of PA 41 from Commercial to Medium-High Density Residential (41A) and Open Space – Recreation (41B) to accommodate Tentative Tract Map No. 37136. TM 37136 was approved for 80 single family homes in PA 41A and a 1.1- acre Private Recreation Center/Swimming Pool in PA 41B. Additionally, SPA No. 3 made other, non-substantive changes throughout the document to reflect the approvals of other Tract Maps and development of other neighborhoods within the Specific Plan which had occurred since approval of Substantial Conformance No.1 to Specific Plan Amendment #2, in April, 2008. The addition of 80 units in PA 41A together with the revised unit counts related to the approved Tract Maps resulted in an overall increase of 48 units to the Specific Plan resulting in an increase from 4,359 to 4,407 dwelling units.

II. SUMMARY
A. PROJECT SITE LOCATION
The 942.3-acre MENIFEE VALLEY RANCH project (previously known as Menifee Ranch) is located in the City of Menifee in the southwestern portion of Riverside County, approximately 21 miles southeast of the City of Riverside, 14 miles north of the City of Temecula, two miles east of the City of Perris, and four miles west of the City of Hemet (see Figure II-1, Regional Map ). The site is situated in the City of Menifee, east of Interstate 215 and south of State Route 74, between the communities of Homeland and Romoland (see Figure II-2, Vicinity Map). The property is bounded to t
he west by Menifee Road, to the east by Briggs Road, to the north by Matthews Road and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad, and to the south by Simpson Road, and is traversed by McCall Boulevard.

B. PROJECT BACKGROUND
The original Menifee Ranch Specific Plan No. 301 was adopted by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors on April 29, 1997. The adopted plan included a mix of residential and non-residential land uses on a 153-acre project site. At build-out, a maximum of 482 single-family detached homes were to be constructed on 104.2 acres. The remaining acreage was designated for non-residential uses, including a commercial/day-care facility, a middle school, parks, parkway greenbelts, and major roads. On December 23, 2002, Amendment No. 1 to Specific Plan No. 301 was adopted by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors and added 1,395.3 acres of property to the north, south, and east of the 153-acre site. On June 7, 2006, Amendment No. 2 was adopted by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors and amended Specific Plan No. 301 by replacing the golf course/clubhouse and associated residential uses with open space/recreation (includes a community clubhouse) and active adult housing. Amendment No. 2 also re-designated community commercial uses along State Route 74 and Malaga Road with very high density residential uses.

On April 30, 2008, Substantial Conformance No. 1 to Amendment No. 2 was adopted by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors and adjusted Planning Area boundaries, acreages, and densities within Planning Areas 14, 18 through 20, 22A, 22C, 24, 25, 27C, 32, 39B, and 41 to accommodate development proposed by Tentative Tract Map No. 34406. Substantial Conformance No. 1 decreased the acreage and total number of dwelling units devoted to Medium Density Residential land uses and increased the acreage and total number of dwelling units devoted to Medium High Density Residential land uses. Additionally, Substantial Conformance No. 1 decreased the acreage devoted to commercial, school, greenbelt, and circulation land uses. These changes did not affect the Specific Plan total acreage or maximum number of dwelling units, which remained at 1,548.3 acres and 4,359 units respectively.

On December 19, 2019, Amendment No. 3 to the Menifee Valley Ranch Specific Plan was adopted by the City of Menifee City Council which amended Planning Area 41 from 15.4 acres of commercial land use to become two new Planning Areas, Planning Areas 41A and 41 B. Planning Item Title: 10.5

Area 41A is 13.9 acres of Medium-High Density Residential land use and 80 dwelling units.

Planning Area 41B is designated as Private Recreation Center use and comprises 1.1 acres.

Amendment No. 3 amended the Planning Area boundaries, acreages, and/or maximum dwelling units for Planning Areas 15, 16, 17, 21, 22A, 22B, 23, 27A, 27B, 27D, 27E, 27F, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34A, 34B, 35, 36, 37, 38, 40, 42A, 42B, 42C, and 42E. Planning Area 42D was removed and the remaining acreage was allocated to Planning Areas 29 and 30. The acreage devoted to Major Roadways throughout SP 301 A-3 was increased by 1.0 acre, from 92.2 to 93.2 acres. The total acres for Specific P lan Amendment No. 3 remain ed unchanged at 1,548.3 acres, while the total dwelling units are increased by 48, from 4,359 to 4,407. Although there are 80 dwelling units proposed in Planning Area 41A, the total dwelling units for Amendment No. 3 was only increased by 48 due to the approved Tract Maps and unit changes in the Planning Areas previously mentioned.

C. PROJECT SUMMARY
The proposed MENIFEE VALLEY RANCH project is envisioned as a master planned community, integrating residential, educational, recreational, and open space uses. The M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH Specific Plan assures that the proposed project will be developed in a coordinated manner.

Infrastructure and public services, both on-site and off-site, are planned to accommodate the buildout requirements of M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH, ensuring that the County's standards for orderly growth are implemented. Design guidelines and development standards contained within the Specific Plan create a cohesive community identity, while providing flexibility to accommodate future market demands.

MENIFEE VALLEY RANCH Specific Plan Amendment No. 4 will amend the boundary to remove the area north of Matthews Road from the M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH Specific Plan. The newly removed area will be incorporated into the proposed Menifee Valley Specific Plan. The Menifee Valley Specific Plan is processing concurrently with the proposed M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH Specific Plan Amendment No. 4.

The new Menifee Valley Specific Plan will identify allowable land uses, development standards, and backbone infrastructure in order to guide future development of the Specific Plan area. To date, no development has occurred within the Project boundary except for Heritage High School located at the southwest corner of Briggs Road and SR-74. The Heritage High School site was included in SP301 as Planning Area 8. Because Planning Area 8 is now fully developed, it will not be included within the newly proposed Menifee Valley Specific Plan.

A majority of the areas south of Matthews Road have developed in accordance with the M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH Specific Plan, its amendments and substantial conformance approvals. M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH Specific Plan Amendment No. 3 identified for 2,689 units to be developed south of Matthews Road, along with two K-8 schools, approximately 130 acres of open space, parks, and amenities, and approximately 16 acres of commercial. To date, a total of 2,689 dwelling units have been approved for development south of Matthews Road with 2,166 units developed. Two schools (Mesa View Elementary and Ethan A. Chase Middle School) have been constructed along with 96 acres of open space, parks and amenities. The only areas that remain undeveloped south of Matthews Road are Planning Areas 14, 18 to 21, 39B, 41, 41A, 41B, and portions of Planning Areas 24, 25, and 31 have yet to be developed. These Planning Areas provide for a 22 acre community park, 15 acres of greenbelt, and almost 16 acres of commercial uses.

Amendment No. 4 will remove Planning Areas 1, 2, 3, 4A, 4B, 5A, 5B, 6, 7A, 7B, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12A, 12B, and 13; decrease the total number of Medium Density residential on 7,200 s.f. lots from 320.3 acres and 1,205 dwelling units to 239.8 acres and 902 dwelling units; the total number of Medium Density Residential on 6,000 s.f. lots fro m 206.4 acres and 919 dwelling units to 151.3 acres and 663 dwelling units; Medium High Density (Active Adult) residential lots on 5,000 s.f. lots from 157.9 acres and 744 Item Title: 10.5

dwelling units to 0 acres and 0 dwelling units; Medium High Density (Active Adult) residential Triplex lots from 23.7 acres and 123 dwelling units to 0 acres and 0 dwelling units; Very High Multi-Family residential lots will decrease from 16.2 acres and 292 dwelling units to 0 acres and 0 dwelling units; and decrease Park acreage from 75.2 acres to 39.6.0 acres; High School acreage from 59.8 acres to 0 acres; and Open Space/Greenbelts & Detention Areas decrease from 70.1 acres to 43.6 acres.

In all, the overall project acreage will decrease from 1,548.3 to 942.0 acres and the total dwelling unit count from 4,407 to 2,689.

Roadways to be improved as part of proposed project include Menifee Road, Simpson Road, Briggs Road, McCall Boulevard, Lindenberger Road, and Grand Avenue.

The MENIFEE VALLEY RANCH project is phased in a logical sequence, in response to market demands.

A total of four development phases are planned through project build-out. The proposed school facilities will be constructed to meet the needs of the Romoland School District and Perris Union High School District which serve the project site. Development of the on-site parks will occur concurrently with residential development according to the Public Facilities Plan section of the Specific Plan.

MENIFEE VALLEY RANCH II. SUMMARY
Specific Plan No. 301, Amendment No. 4
II-9

E. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING

1. REGIONAL SETTING
The project site is located in the City of Menifee in Riverside County. The City of Menifee and surrounding areas are bounded by the Santa Ana Mountains to the west and the San Jacinto Mountains to the east. The southern end of the City of Menifee opens into the Murrieta Valley which is enclosed by the Santa Margarita and Agua Tibia Mountains. The Santa Ana Mountains physically separate western Riverside County from Orange County and the Pacific coast, with a limited number of roads traversing the mountains.

2. SURROUNDING LAND USES AND DEVELOPMENT
The project lies in an urbanizing area of the City of Menifee in western Riverside County, southeast of the City of Perris and west of unincorporated Riverside County. The project area is surrounded by widely dispersed residential, agricultural and office land uses. Although much of the land surrounding the property remains vacant, several adopted specific plans exist in the vicinity of the project. These specific plans include Menifee North (SP No. 260), Menifee Village (SP No. 158), Menifee East (SP No. 247), and Winchester Hills (SP No. 293).

Regionally based commercial and office uses, including grocery stores, banks, restaurants and employment centers are planned within a two-mile radius, as evidenced by Specific Plans such as the Menifee North Specific Plan, the Winchester Hills Specific Plan, the Menifee East Specific Plan, and the Menifee Village Specific Plan. Residents of M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH will benefit from living within close proximity to these multi-functional centers. M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH residents have access to the existing commercial centers located approximately two miles west of the community on McCall Boulevard and approximately two miles southwest of the community on Newport Road.

3. PHYSICAL SITE CONDITIONS
The Specific Plan area is generally flat and portions of the site south of Matthews Road have been graded and developed (see Figure II-3, Aerial Photo ). Most of the development has primarily occurred in the Heritage Lake portion of the Specific Plan including single-family homes, Heritage Lake Park, neighborhood parks, Mesa View Elementary School, Ethan A. Chase Middle School, and greenbelts. Roads needed to serve the community, such as McCall Boulevard and Heritage Lake Drive, have been constructed. Although small areas of the Specific Plan have been altered by cultivation, drainage of the northern portion of the site trends generally toward the west while drainage of the southern portion is toward the south. All on-site flows at the Heritage Lake portion of the Specific Plan drain southerly through the lake and/or drainage detention areas and ultimately to the southern portion of the community at the intersection of Lindenberger Road and Simpson Road.

Matthews Road crosses the northern portion of the community in a northwest to southeast direction, adjacent to the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad tracks.

4. REGIONAL CIRCULATION
Southwestern Riverside County is served principally by four freeways. Major east-west circulation is provided by the Riverside Freeway (SR-91) and the Moreno Valley Freeway (SR-60). These freeways connect the area to Los Angeles and Orange Counties to the west and Palm Springs to the east. Major north-south circulation is provided by the Corona Freeway (I-15) and the Escondido Freeway (I-215). These freeways connect the project area to Escondido and San Diego to the south and Riverside and San Bernardino to the north.

MENIFEE VALLEY RANCH is located approximately two miles east of the I-215. On- and off-ramps that will provide access to the project from the I-215 exist at SH-74, Bonnie Drive, Ethanac Road, McCall Boulevard, and Newport Road. SR-79 (Winchester Road) is an important north-south regional transportation link, located two and one-half miles east of the project site.

5. PLANNING CONTEXT
City of Menifee Incorporation
On April 30, 2008, Substantial Conformance #1 to Amendment No. 2 to SP 301 was approved by the County of Riverside. On October 1, 2008, the City of Menifee was incorporated as a new city within Riverside County and encompasses the M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH Specific Plan area. The M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH Specific Plan area was subject to the provisions and policies of the County General Plan and the Sun City/Menifee Valley Area Plan, but is now subject to the provisions and policies of the City of Menifee’s General Plan and Municipal Code. On December 19, 2018, the City of Menifee adopted the MENIFEE VALLEY RANCH Specific Plan No. 301, Amendment No. 3.

A. DEVELOPMENT PLANS AND STANDARDS

1. PLANNING OBJECTIVES
MENIFEE VALLEY RANCH Specific Plan No. 301 (previously known as MENIFEE RANCH), Amendment No. 4 has been prepared within the framework of a detailed and comprehensive multi- disciplinary planning program. Issues that have been thoroughly examined and considered include: City of Menifee General Plan goals and objectives, local community goals, market acceptance, economic viability, engineering feasibility, and development phasing, together with a sensitive design approach relative to environmental conditions. In order to ensure the functional integrity, environmental compatibility, and positive aesthetic effect of the Specific Plan, specific planning goals and objectives were established and subsequently supported with extensive analysis. With these specific planning goals in mind, this Specific Plan:
● Provides for a long-range comprehensive planning approach to development which cannot be accomplished on a parcel-by-parcel basis.
● Furnishes a plan for development that is sensitive to the environment as well as aesthetically pleasing, and is one that provides for noise suppression, protection of health and safety, and the promotion of the neighborhoods, community, and region. ● Considers topographic, geologic, hydrologic, and environmental opportunities and constraints to create a design that essentially conforms to the condition of the land by maintaining and using basic landforms where practical.
● Ensures a well-balanced community by incorporating residential, educational, recreational, park, and open space uses into a master-planned development. ● Implements housing type diversity by providing a variety of detached single family and active adult residential lots in traditional subdivision layouts and attached multi-family housing that will be marketable within the evolving economic profile of the City of Menifee.
● Establishes a project-wide circulation system that meets regional and local transportation needs and accommodates a variety of transportation modes. ● Encourages mobility options by providing an extensive network of sidewalks and/or bicycle paths within expanded landscaped parkways adjacent to all major project roads. ● Provides a system of public and community facilities, including a lake, two K-8 school sites, a Private Recreation Center, three neighborhood parks, one community park, and a private swim club/lake parking facility to support development in an efficient and timely manner as well as meet the needs of project residents and residents of surrounding communities.
● Establishes schools and parks within walking distance of residential neighborhoods. ● Reinforces the community identity of the project through control of project design elements such as architecture, landscaping, color, paving, walls, fencing, signage, and entry treatments.

2. SPECIFIC LAND USE PLAN
a. Project Description
Upon completion, the MENIFEE VALLEY RANCH, Specific Plan Amendment No. 4, project will consist of a high quality residential community, primarily composed of residential, educational, recreational, park, and open space land uses on 942.3 acres as depicted in Figures III.A-1a and IIIA-1b, Land Use Plan. When fully developed, a maximum of 2,689 dwelling units will be built in M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH. Various residential product types will be designed to meet the needs of the housing market of the City of Menifee and the Inland Empire. These residences include a range of lot sizes shown on Figures III.A-1a and IIIA-1b, Specific Plan Land Use Plan . While the overall project density is 2.9 dwelling units per acre, the density of the residential planning areas will range between 3.0 to 5.8 dwelling units per acre for an overall residential density of 4.2 dwelling units per acre.

Non-residential uses will consist of two K-8 schools, and recreational amenities, which will three neighborhood parks and one community park, a Private Recreation Center, a private swim club/lake parking facility, open space, paseos, greenbelts and a lake. Additional uses will include drainage detention areas, roadway paseos and major roads. These uses will directly support the residential neighborhoods, and will provide the essential amenities and public facilities needed to achieve a well-balanced plan.

Specific information on each of the planning areas within M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH is provided in Table III.A-1, Detailed Land Use Summary , within Section III.B, Planning Area Development Standards, and in Figures III.B-7 through III.B-24, Planning Areas 14 to 42E.

b. Land Use Plan Development Standards
To ensure the orderly and sensitive development of the land uses proposed for M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH, special mitigation measures have been created for the diverse conditions within each planning area. These standards, specific to each planning area, are thoroughly discussed in Section III.B., Planning Area Development Standards.

In addition to the planning area standards, project-wide development standards also have been prepared that will assist in effectively implementing the proposed development. These project-wide development standards are:

The total Specific Plan area shall be developed with a maximum of 2,689 dwelling units on 942.3 acres, as illustrated on Figures III.A-1A and IIIA-1B, Specific Land Use Plan . General permitted uses will include residential, parks, swim club/lake parking facility, schools, open space, , greenbelts/lake, detention areas, roadway paseos, and major roads as delineated on the Specific Land Use Plan and on the individual planning area figures (Figures III.B-1 through III.B-24). A maximum number of dwelling units is specified for each residential planning area. The proposed number of dwelling units contained in an implementing subdivision application may exceed the maximum units specified in any one planning area by not more than ten percent without an amendment to this plan, provided that an equal or greater number was unused in a previously or concurrently approved application within another planning area. In no case shall the total number of dwelling units exceed 2,689.

If a transfer of dwelling units is proposed between planning areas, the Master Developer or his Assignee shall be responsible for providing the City with a Development Transfer Status Report at the time that implementing subdivisions are submitted. This report will specify the entitlement and development status of each planning area including the following information:
a) Specific Plan Planning Area allocation of dwelling units. b) Number of dwelling units entitled under an Implementing Subdivision by Planning Area.
c) Number of dwelling units transferred to or from each Planning Area that is already entitled or proposed to be entitled with an implementing subdivision.

The “Development Transfer Status Report” must demonstrate that the total number of dwelling units for the project will not exceed 2,689 and that the total number of dwelling units to be entitled within any particular planning area will not exceed its Specific Plan allocation by more than ten percent.

Dwelling units may not be transferred out of a Planning Area unless an implementing subdivision is approved (previously or concurrently) for that Planning Area. The Development Transfer Status Report shall assume that all Planning Areas for which an implementing subdivision has not been filed or approved will develop with the number of dwelling units allocated by the Specific Plan.

The City shall not approve any transfer of dwelling units between Planning Areas unless the Developer submits the Development Transfer Status Report with the Item Title: 10.5

4. OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION PLAN
a. Open Space and Recreation Plan Description
An important element of the M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH Specific Plan Amendment is the Open Space and Recreation Plan. The plan provides a variety of recreational opportunities which all residents of the M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH community may enjoy. The project proposes areas for active and passive recreational opportunities, including a Private Recreation Center, three neighborhood parks, one community park, a lake, with private swim club/lake parking facility, detention areas, landscaped greenbelts, paseos and open space. In all, 167.9 acres (or 18 percent) of the project site have been set aside for open space and recreational uses.

The overall Open Space and Recreation Plan concept is illustrated on Figure III.A-9, Open Space and Recreation Plan . The elements and acreage of the program are further identified in Table III.A-3, Open Space and Recreation Plan Summary . Descriptions of each of the open space and recreation elements for MENIFEE VALLEY RANCH follow.

(1) Community and Neighborhood Parks

Typically, the City requires 5.0 acres of parkland for each 1,000 residents to satisfy Quimby Act standards, as expressed in Chapter 9.55 of the City’s Municipal Code.

The required parkland for M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH is calculated as follows. Using a population factor (which is derived from Resolution No. 16-514) of 3.164 persons per single-family dwelling unit for the 2,689 dwelling units proposed for M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH would generate a population of 8,505
residents. At 5.0 acres of
parkland per 1,000 residents, M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH would be required to provide

42.5 acres of active use park land. M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH provide a total of 39.6 acres of public parkland, consisting of 24.9 acres of community parks and 14.7 acres of neighborhood park uses. At the discretion of the school district(s), recreation facilities adjacent to parks also may be available for community use during non- school hours, which would increase the amount of recreational facilities available to project residents.

In addition to these required areas, the project also provides another 123.4 acres of land devoted to a Private Recreation Center, a lake, open space, detention areas, greenbelts and roadway paseos, and private swim club/lake parking facility, all of which provide active and passive recreational opportunities.

Three neighborhood parks and one community park totaling 39.6 acres are planned for Planning Areas 21, 22B, 26, and 37. The parks offer a variety of active and passive recreational opportunities. For Planning Area 21, a 20.1-acre community park feature is provided adjacent to the K-8 school in Planning Area 22A and greenbelt buffer zones. For Planning Area 22B, a 4.8-acre park is provided, adjacent to the K-8 school in Planning Area 22A. For Planning Area 26, a 7.6-acre park is provided, adjacent to the K-8 school in Planning Area 33. For Planning Area 37, a 7.1-acre park is provided along with a 4.4-acre detention area, and is adjacent to the open space easement in Planning Area 38. Lastly, for Planning Area 41B, a 1.1-acre Private Recreation Center is provided.

Preliminary designs have been prepared for each park based on Valleywide Recreation and Park District criteria and input. Each park has been designed to maximize the efficiency of organized sport league management by focusing, as feasible, on a particular sport. Specific specialty sports provided for in the parks may include soccer/football fields, baseball/softball fields, and roller hockey. Basketball or volleyball leagues would be best accommodated on the middle school or high school sites due to the typically large number of courts available. All the parks are discussed in detail in Section IV, Design Guidelines.

Exact amenities for the parks will be determined by Valleywide Recreation and Park District, City of Menifee or other similar public or private entity at the time subdivision maps are proposed. The parks should include facilities such as:
● Sand volleyball courts
● Picnic Facilities
● Basketball courts
● On-site parking
● Tot lots
● Night sports lighting (community sports park only)
● Restrooms (community sports park only)
● Shade tree plantings and rolling turf areas
Either the Master Developer will built the parks according to the phasing program identified in Table III.A-5, Public Facilities Phasing , in lieu of paying park fees, or the Master Developer will pay the required park fees to Valleywide Recreation and Item Title: 10.5

Park District, the City of Menifee, or other public entity will build the parks.

(2) Open Space
A total of 123.4 acres is proposed as open space within M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH.

Open space areas are classified as open space, open space/meadows, greenbelts/lake, detention areas, and roadway paseos.

a) Open Space - Planning Area 38, totaling 4.9 acres, are planned to be left in natural open space. Planning Area 38 encompasses the gas line easement in the southwest corner of MENIFEE VALLEY RANCH, which traverses Planning Area 38.

G
reenbelts/Lake - Planning Areas 22C, 27A, 27C-F, 39A, 39B, 42A-C, and 42E will comprise a total of 76.1 acres of lake and greenbelts. A 22.6- acre lake will be located within Planning Area 27A. The lake will be centrally located to the residential neighborhoods within the southern portion of M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH, and will provide an attractive visual, recreational and environmental element for the community. Parkland surrounding the lake will provide for picnicking, public gathering, and other passive recreational opportunities. The pedestrian path surrounding the lake will connect to the greenbelt system and to the pedestrian path system serving the residential neighborhoods. The greenbelts will link with the parks in Planning Areas 21, 22B and 37. The lake and greenbelt system will serve a dual use as a centralized amenity and as a flood retention and detention area.

b) Drainage and Detention Areas - The 11.5-acre Neighborhood Park located in Planning Area 37 will also include a 4.4-acre detention area.

c) Roadway Paseos - Expanded parkways will provide generous landscape setbacks and pedestrian walkways along community roadways. Approximately 38.0 acres of parkways are planned for the M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH community. The acreage of the parkways has been excluded in the acreage of the planning areas that are adjacent to the roadways. These areas, when they occur, are referred to as Landscape Development Zones (LDZ's) within Section IV, Design Guidelines.

d) Non-Vehicular Circulation - MENIFEE VALLEY RANCH will include an integrated system of off-street pedestrian paths that will encourage non-vehicular circulation throughout the Specific Plan area. The paths will provide pedestrian connections between the residential portions of the project and the on-site schools, the community park, the neighborhood parks, the lake, and the various greenbelts. In addition, 8’ wide Class II bike lanes are planned on McCall Boulevard, Briggs Road, Heritage Lake Drive, Grand Avenue East and Grand Avenue West, and Lindenberger Road. The off-street pedestrian trails and Class II bike lanes are depicted on Figure IV-9B, Non-Vehicular Circulation Plan.

b. Open Space and Recreation Plan Development Standards (1) All property within the M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH Specific Plan Amendment area is located within the City of Menifee and Valleywide Recreation and Park District.

A. DEVELOPMENT PLANS AND STANDARDS MENIFEE VALLEY RANCH Specific Plan No. 301, Amendment No. 4
III.A-32

5. DRAINAGE PLAN
a. Drainage Plan Description
The MENIFEE VALLEY RANCH Specific Plan Amendment project site lies within the boundaries of the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (RCFCD), and is subject to drainage fees. The RCFCD fee drainage areas that encompass the site include the:

Homeland/Romoland Area Drainage Plan, Salt Creek Channel Area Drainage Plan, and the proposed Winchester/West Winchester Area Drainage Plan, as shown on Figure III.A-10, Regional Drainage Plan.

(1) Existing Conditions
Drainage for the site flows toward the south. The site accepts drainage from the area to the west and northeast. The undeveloped runoff (Q) coming into this portion of the site enters in a sheet flow manner. Beyond the westerly boundary of the project, the flows continue to travel westerly toward the I-215 freeway. Approximately 2,000 feet downstream of Menifee Road at proposed Line “A” there exists a small train trestle under which the runoff must flow. Existing runoff projected for this area are approximately 4,510 cfs.

(2) Proposed Improvements
The project’s drainage plan solutions will differ somewhat from RCFCD’s proposed Master Drainage Plan. Once approved, these changes will be reflected in the amended Area Drainage Plan. The site will drain into a large lake, serving as a retention/detention basin. Water elevations in the lake will be controlled by the use of a low-flow outlet channel that will drain from the lake southerly to the intersection of Simpson Road and Lindenberger Road.

Current RCFCD regulations require that the rate of storm runoff to adjacent properties not be increased as a result of development. As development occurs, the construction of roadways, parking facilities and structures increases the amount of impervious surfaces within the project preventing rainfall from natural percolation into native soils. By conveying flows in roadbeds and pipelines, the time of conveyance of the flow is shortened as compared to flow in natural watercourses. The result of these two occurrences is an increase in the rate of the storm runoff that discharges at the project limits. This difference in the rate of runoff must therefore be managed on-site through the use of detention basins which will be designed to accept the increased flow and discharge only the rate of flow prior to development at all locations discharging from the project. The drainage system is designed to utilize the natural drainage patterns and courses to the maximum extent possible, while providing required erosion control and 100-year flood protection. The open space system for the project has been designed to provide detention areas that will be used to reduce run-off resulting from development of the site to pre-development levels where drainage leaves the project site. The plan has been designed to minimize drainage diversions. No diversion or alteration of drainage patterns is contemplated in conjunction with project development. The proposed on-site lake will provide both retention and detention, with an additional retention basin found adjacent to the project boundaries at Briggs Road, south of Highway 74. The construction cost of this additional basin would be covered by the Item Title: 10.5

overall CFD, with the maintenance provided by the Riverside County Flood Control District.

The final size and location of all the required drainage systems will ultimately be determined at the tract map stage of development, per the requirements of the City of Menifee and RCFCD. The pipe sizes noted on Figure III.A-11, Master Drainage Plan are based upon a preliminary hydrologic analysis and are therefore preliminary and for use in development planning only. The southeast corner of the project site is located within a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Zone A flood hazard designation, which denotes areas of 100-year flood, base food elevations and flood hazard factors not determined. Other than this natural flooding condition, there are no dams, rivers, creeks or washes which directly affect the M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH site.

b. Drainage Plan Development Standards
(1) Drainage and flood control facilities and improvements, including any necessary channelization, shall be provided in accordance with RCFCD and City of Menifee requirements. (2) Facilities 39” or larger in diameter to be constructed in road rights-of-way and drainage easements will be maintained by the RCFCD or the Riverside County Transportation.

Facilities 36” and smaller to minimum size 18” to be constructed in road rights-of-way and drainage easements will be maintained by the City of Menifee. Local drainage devices not located in roadway right-of-ways will be maintained by a Master Homeowners’ Association, the City of Menifee, Valley Wide Recreation and Park District, or the RCFCD. Maintenance responsibilities for local drainage facilities will be determined upon filing of individual tract maps. (3) All projects proposing construction activities including: clearing, grading, or excavation that results in the disturbance of at least five acres of total land area, or activity which is part of a larger common plan of development of five acres or greater shall obtain the appropriate NPDES construction permit and pay the appropriate fees. All development within the Specific Plan boundaries shall be subject to future requirements adopted by the City to implement the NPDES program. Mitigation measures may include, but not be limited to: on-site retention; covered storage of all outside storage facilities; vegetated swales; monitoring programs; etc.

A. DEVELOPMENT PLANS AND STANDARDS MENIFEE VALLEY RANCH Specific Plan No. 301, Amendment No. 4
III.A-36

6. WATER, RECLAIMED WATER, AND SEWER PLANS
MENIFEE VALLEY RANCH is within the Eastern Municipal Water District’s (EMWD) service area for water, reclaimed water, and sewer.
a. Water Plan Description
EMWD will be the primary provider of domestic water through build-out of M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH. The existing domestic waterlines, shown on Figure III.A-12, Master Water Plan, are owned and operated in accordance with EMWD’s Regional Facilities Plan dated 1990.

The project falls within the 1627 Pressure Zone established by EMWD. The 1627 Perris Valley Pressure Zone is served by the Menifee Village reservoir, which consists of a five-million gallon tank located west of Menifee Road at Simpson Road. The Menifee Village reservoir will be able to provide primary both domestic and fire protection service throughout this zone.

Several existing EMWD water lines are present within and adjacent to the project site, as shown on Figure III.A-12, Master Water Plan. Existing EMWD water lines include: 30", 27", and 12" mains in Menifee Road; a 27" main in Lindenberger Road; 27" and 24" mains in Simpson Road; a 12" main in McCall Boulevard; and 12" mains in Briggs Road.

The proposed on-site lines, shown on Figure III.A-12, Master Water Plan , include: a 12" main in Grand Avenue at Briggs Road which connects to a 12" main through the southern portions of Heritake Lake Drive and Heritage Lake Drive to the existing 27" main in the western half of Grand Avenue, and realignment of the 12" main in McCall Boulevard. The average annual domestic water demand for the proposed project is estimated to be approximately 2,401,380 gallons per day (mgd). b. Reclaimed Water Plan Description
The Perris Valley Regional Water Reclamation Facility (P.V.R.W.R.F.), located east of I-215 in the community of Romoland, is the closest existing source of reclaimed water to the subject site.

Existing reclaimed water lines, shown on Figure III.A-12, Master Water Plan , include: a 48" line from Matthews Road (off site) to Briggs Road, then south to Grand Avenue. The line in Matthews Road is currently used to transport reclaimed water from various treatment facilities in the area to EMWD ponds. The water in this line has already been tertiary treated. EMWD’s current policy for the requirement of using reclaimed water on-site is that any project with a golf course, would require reclaimed water for the irrigation system. Pipelines will need to be built from existing pipelines to the irrigation areas. The amount of recycled water available to the subject property will be determined as the project nears development and prior to service. Estimates of potential irrigation demands will be used to size the needed pipelines to plan for the supply of recycled water. The design and construction of off-site and on-site reclaimed water system improvements will be necessary in order to accomplish the delivery of reclaimed water to the project. The actual sizes and location of these lines will be determined at the tract map stage of development in conjunction with EMWD’s requirements.

III. SPECIFIC PLAN
A. DEVELOPMENT PLANS AND STANDARDS MENIFEE VALLEY RANCH Specific Plan No. 301, Amendment No. 4
III.A-38

c. Sewer Plan Description
On- and off-site improvements are necessary prior to providing adequate service to the project site.

MENIFEE VALLEY RANCH is located within the Winchester Regional Water Reclamation Facility (WRWRF) waste watershed area. Sewage generated from the project site will be conveyed to the upgraded Perris Valley Regional Water Reclamation Facility. In order to provide for interceptor sewers from the project site to the Perris Valley Regional Treatment Plant, construction of off-site gravity trunk lines will be required. These lines will extend from the southerly property boundary within Grand Avenue, then head south along Lindenberger Road, before turning east in Simpson Road and eventually connecting to the Winchester Lift Station located at the corner of Simpson and Ventina Roads.

The proposed M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH project would generate an estimated average daily wastewater flow of 1,366,595 gallons per day (gpd) at build-out, Summary of Estimated Wastewater Flows. Existing sewer lines, shown on Figure III.A-13, Master Sewer Plan , include: two 20" forc e mains in Grand Avenue (off site), Briggs Road, and eastern Matthews Road; a 24" gravity main in Matthews Road; a 15" gravity main in McLaughlin Road: and 12" gravity mains in Briggs Road and McLaughlin Road (off site).

The proposed wastewater collection facilities which will serve the project area are shown on Figure III.A-13, Master Sewer Plan . The proposed sewer mains include: an 18" gravity main in Lindenberger Road; 12" gravity main in Heritage Lake Drive; a 15" gravity main in Grand Avenue East at Briggs Road which connects to a 15" gravity main in Heritage Lake Drive; and realignment of the 15" gravity main in McLaughlin Road.

d. Water and Sewer Plan Development Standards
(1) All water, reclaimed water, and sewer lines shall be placed underground, and shall be designed per the Eastern Municipal Water District’s (EMWD’s) standards and standard specifications.
(2) The infrastructure system will be installed to the requirements of the EMWD. Water and sewerage disposal facilities shall be installed in accordance with the requirements and specifications of the State Department of Health Services and the Riverside County Health Department.
(3) The developer of the project shall submit information which describes estimates of the project's reclaimed water demand, and landscape/irrigation conceptual plans to the EMWD for evaluation. At the time of the District' evaluation, a determination will be made regarding District requirements for reclaimed water use and system improvements by the subject project.

7. GRADING PLAN
a. Grading Plan Description
The grading plan for MENIFEE VALLEY RANCH, shown on Figure III.A-14, Conceptual Grading Plan, is tailored to the existing topography of the project site. The existing terrain is comparatively level over most of the site ranging from a low elevation of approximately 1,443 feet above mean sea level (msl) to a high elevation of 1,510 feet above msl. It is intended that proposed site grading be sensitive to natural landforms.

According to an earthwork quantity study conducted by the project engineer, grading is expected to balance on-site. Based on the Conceptual Grading Plan, approximately 0.4 million cubic yards of material will be moved to accommodate development of the site. This quantity may vary as final grading plans are developed. The Conceptual Grading Plan has been designed to accommodate drainage and a street system that meets County of Riverside standards for acceptable infrastructure gradients.

b. Grading Plan Development Standards
(1) All grading activities shall conform to City of Menifee standards, shall be in substantial conformance with the overall Figure III.A-14, Conceptual Grading Plan.

(2) Grading shall conform to City of Menifee regulations. If City requirements conflict with the project’s Conceptual Grading Plan, the City regulations shall take precedence. (3) Prior to any development within any planning area of the Specific Plan, an overall Conceptual Grading Plan for the planning area in process may be requested for Community Development Department approval. The Grading Plan for each planning area should be used as a guideline for subsequent detailed grading plans for individual stages of development within that planning area, and shall include: techniques employed to prevent erosion and sedimentation as well as eliminate source pollutants during and after the grading process; approximate time frames for grading; identification of areas which may be graded during high probability rain months (January through March); and preliminary pad and roadway elevations. Grading work shall be balanced on- site whenever possible.
(4) All streets shall have a gradient not to exceed 15 percent. (5) Prior to initial grading activities, a detailed soils report and geotechnical study shall be prepared to analyze on-site soil conditions and slope stability and shall include appropriate measures to control erosion and dust.

Slopes steeper than 2:1 or exceeding ten feet (10') in vertical height are allowed provided they are recommended to be safe in a slope stability report prepared by a soils engineer or an engineering geologist. The slope stability report shall also contain recommendations for landscaping and erosion control. Where cut and fill slopes are created higher than three feet (3'), detailed landscaping and irrigation plans shall be submitted to the Community Development Department prior to Grading Plan approval. The plans shall be reviewed for type and density of ground cover, shrubs and trees. (6) The applicant shall be responsible for maintenance and upkeep of all planting and irrigation systems until those operations are the responsibilities of other parties. (7) Grading work shall be balanced on-site whenever possible.

(8) Potential brow ditches, terrace drains or other minor swales, determined necessary by the City of Menifee at future stages of project review, shall be lined with natural erosion control materials or concrete.
(9) Graded land that is undeveloped shall be maintained and planted with interim landscaping within ninety (90) days of completion of grading, unless building permits are obtained. (10) Unless otherwise approved by the City, all cut and fill slopes shall be constructed at inclinations of no steeper than two (2) horizontal feet to one (1) vertical foot. The Grading Plan will reflect a contouring intended to control slope erosion. (11) A grading permit shall be obtained from the City of Menifee prior to grading. (12) If any historic or prehistoric remains are discovered during grading, a qualified archaeologist shall be consulted to ascertain their significance. (13) Soil stabilizers shall be used to control dust as required by South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 403.
(14) Pursuant to requirements of the State Water Resources Control Board, a State-wide general National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) construction permit will apply to construction activities associated with the proposed project. Construction activities include cleaning, grading, or excavation that results in the disturbance of at least five acres of total land area or activity which is part of a larger common plan of development of five acres or greater. Therefore, the developer or builder for M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH shall be required to obtain the appropriate State NPDES permits prior to commencing grading activities.

8. PUBLIC FACILITY SITES AND PROJECT PHASING PLAN
a. Project Phasing Plan Description
MENIFEE VALLEY RANCH is to be developed in four (4) phases over an approximate 10-year to 15- year period, in response to market demands and according to a logical and orderly extension of roadways, public utilities, and infrastructure. The development phasing is illustrated on Figure III.A- 15, Conceptual Phasing Plan, and Table III.A-4, Project Phasing Plan.

b. Schools and Parks Phasing
To ensure timely development of public facilities, a Conceptual Phasing Plan has been prepared for the proposed park and school sites. Public facility construction shall be phased as provided by Table III.A-5, Public Facilities Phasing.

c. Sewer and Water Phasing
An agreement with the Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) shall be made in writing which states that the provision of services to any implementing project shall be available prior to the recordation of any tract maps.

d. Transportation Phasing
The project phasing shall ensure that the following provisions are met:

(1) Traffic impact reports shall be required with submittal of tentative tract maps or plot plans as required by the City of Menifee. The required format for each traffic impact study report will be determined by the City. The required format will include evaluation of peak hour conditions at intersections significantly impacted by each phase of development. (2) If an impacted intersection is estimated to exceed City service level standards, then appropriate link and intersection improvements shall be required to be presented for City staff review.
(3) The improvements needed to maintain the City service level standards will be required to be in place prior to occupancy of the relevant development phase. Because off-site improvements are generally needed to serve area-wide growth, an area-wide fee program should be established to implement General Plan roadway improvements. Without a district or fee program available, the proposed project is responsible for providing the off-site improvements necessary for adequate circulation at each project phase.

9. LANDSCAPING PLAN
a. Landscaping Plan Descriptions
The landscaping plan provides a general description and development standards for the landscaping concept for M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH. A more detailed description of the landscaping concept is provided in Section IV, Design Guidelines. The Landscaping Plan, illustrated on Figure IV-1, Conceptual Landscape Plan, will establish an overall theme that will help to create a strong sense of community.

The design concept for M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH will incorporate a California Ranch landscape theme. Characteristic elements of this theme include: generous landscape common areas and strong, rich landscape materials such as river rock, boulder outcrops, clusters and groves of trees, wood materials, earth tone colors, and a diversity of material.

The community entries and theme intersections will provide a continuity that establishes the MENIFEE VALLEY RANCH area and boundaries. Entry monumentation will provide initial definition for the site at key access points. Once within the M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH community, monumentation will continue to be used at all key intersections. The entries and intersections will be developed in a hierarchical format that reinforces a sense of place within the community. Primary community entries will lead to secondary community entries which in turn lead to neighborhood entries. Neighborhood entries will provide initial identification for each residential planning area.

Individual neighborhoods and residential development enclaves will be distinguished by varied planting themes that will serve to complement and reinforce the overall project theme. Special treatments, including land use transition areas, will be provided between certain planning areas, as identified in Section III.B, Planning Area Development Standards.

Landscaping also serves as a buffer between land uses. Community walls and fences a major visual element that helps unify the appearance of the community.

Roadway streetscapes are critical to maintaining a cohesive community theme. Streetscapes will be used to identify the hierarchy of the community’s roadway system.

b. Landscaping Plan Development Standards
(1) All detailed landscaping programs for planning areas and roadways shall be prepared by a qualified and licensed landscape architect for review by City staff and applicable decision-making agencies.
(2) Project entries shall be designed with landscaping and architectural treatments that project a high quality image for the community development. (3) The landscaping design for the project site shall include trees, shrubs, and ground cover compatible with existing natural vegetation where feasible. (4) Special treatment areas shall be designed to provide definition to certain planning areas, as identified in Section III.B, Planning Area Development Standards.

(5) Major entrance roads into M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH shall have entry monumentation and landscaped shoulders to define the project's design concept. The introductory Item Title: 10.5

landscape theme shall include elements such as tree clustering to reinforce the project theme and character.
(6) Planted raised medians (according to Engineering Standard Details and City Ordinance No. 461) may be established within any roadway right-of-way as long as access and safety criteria can be met as approved by the City Engineer (7) Prior to approval of any final subdivision map, improvement plans for the respective landscaped areas shall be submitted to the City Community Development Department for approval. The improvement plans shall include but not be limited to the following:
 Final Grading Plan
 Irrigation Plans certified by a landscape architect
 A Landscaping Plan with seed mixes for mulching and staking methods; locations, types, size and quantity of plants
 Fence Treatment Plans
 Special Treatment/Buffer Area Treatment Plans
(8) The applicant and/or master developer shall be responsible for maintenance and upkeep of all slope planting, common landscaped areas, and irrigation systems until such time as these operations are the responsibility of other parties. (9) At the time of recordation of any final subdivision which contains a common open space area, the applicant and/or developer shall convey such areas to the appropriate maintenance agency.
(10) The landscaping plan shall reflect the following water conservation methods, whenever feasible: landscape with plants that require minimal amounts of water, group plants of similar water use to reduce over-irrigation of low water using plants; use mulch extensively, because mulch applied on top of soil will improve the water holding capacity of the soil by reducing evaporation and soil compaction; and install efficient irrigation systems that minimize runoff and evaporation and maximize the water that will reach the plant roots. Drip irrigation, soil moisture sensors, and automatic irrigation systems are a few methods of increasing irrigation efficiency. (11) The project applicant and/or developer shall comply with the planting, irrigation, implementation, and model home requirements set forth by City Municipal Code Section 9.86 and 15.04.
(12) The irrigation system in common open space areas shall be designed to accommodate future use of reclaimed water when made available by the water district.

10. COMPREHENSIVE MAINTENANCE PLAN
Successful operation of maintenance districts and associations is important in maintaining quality in a project area. It is anticipated that maintenance responsibilities for public roadways will be maintained by the County through the Transportation Department. Other common project facilities may be divided among a Master Homeowners' Association, Neighborhood Associations, Valleywide Park and Recreation District, City of Menifee and/or similar maintenance mechanisms.

decisions regarding maintenance entities shall be made at a future stage of project design review and in concert with County agencies. For a summary of maintenance responsibilities see Table III.A-6, Maintenance Plan.

Master Homeowners' Association
A Master Homeowner's Association is neither anticipated nor required, but is an accepted mechanism for maintenance if desired by the builder or developer. Common areas identified in the Specific Plan may be owned and maintained by a permanent public or private master maintenance organization, to assume ownership and maintenance responsibility for all common recreation, open space, private circulation systems and landscape areas. Areas of responsibility may include open space, project signage, private recreation facilities, and landscape areas located along the project roadways.

b. Residential Neighborhood Associations
In certain residential areas of the project, smaller associations may be formed to assume maintenance responsibility for common areas and facilities that benefit only residents in those areas. Potential private recreation centers, common open space areas and potential private roadways exemplify facilities that may come under the jurisdiction of a neighborhood association.

c. Project Roadways
All public project roadways and private streets will be designed and constructed to standards acceptable to the City of Menifee. Parkway greenbelts (otherwise referred to as LDZ's) will be maintained either by a Valleywide Park and Recreation District, a Master Homeowner's Association, City of Menifee or other maintenance entity.

d. Schools
It is anticipated that maintenance responsibilities for the two school sites will be overseen by the Romoland School District and Perris Union High School District.

If the organization is a private association then neighborhood associations shall be established for each residential development, where required, and such associations may assume ownership and maintenance responsibility for neighborhood common areas. b) Unless otherwise provided for, common areas shall be conveyed to the maintenance organization as implementing development is approved or any subdivision is
recorded.
c) The maintenance organization shall be established prior to or concurrent with the recordation of the first land division, or issuance of any building permits for any approved development permit (use permit, plot plan, etc.).

B. PLANNING AREA DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS MENIFEE VALLEY RANCH Specific Plan No. 301, Amendment No. 4
III.B-1

B. PLANNING AREA DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
Development standards and zoning regulations for M ENIFEE VALLEY RANCH have been established at three levels: Development Plans and Standards , which were addressed in Section III.A; Design Guidelines, which are provided in Section IV; and Planning Area Development Standards , to which this section is devoted.

Planning areas were formed on the basis of logical, separate units of development. Criteria considered in this process included the following: uniformity of use as it pertains to zoning, relationship to adjoining product, and relationship to surrounding topography.

The planning area graphics for this section were derived from Figures III.A-1A and III.A-1B, Specific Land Use Plan. Table III.B-1, Planning Area Land Use Summary, describes the specific uses planned for each planning area. The site plans depicted herein are only conceptual in nature.

Although development may conform closely to some elements of the illustrative plans provided in Section IV, Design Guidelines, it is anticipated that actual lotting will not be determined until the tract map stage.

A Specific Plan Zoning Ordinance was prepared and submitted separately from this Specific Plan document. The zoning provisions within that ordinance establish use restrictions for each planning area. The zoning provisions should be used in conjunction with the planning standards for each respective planning area.
