2. Consistency with the Zoning Code
The SPA proposes to transfer lots from PA-4 to PA-5, as well as the relocation of the park. The total number of units and the density will not change as part of this amendment. Therefore, the proposed SPA remains consistent with the zoning code.
3. Surrounding Uses. Approval of the application will not 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.
Existing uses to the north and east include single-family residential, to the south and west is vacant land.
The proposed amendment will continue to allow for the development of singlefamily dwellings at the same density as previously approved and similar to existing development to the east and west. The Project is compatible with the surrounding land uses, General Plan Land Use designations and Zoning classifications. The Project incorporates quality design and landscaping which will enhance the area.
4. Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Processing and approval of the permit application are in compliance with the requirements of CEQA.
Environmental impacts resulting from the Project have been analyzed in an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (SCH) No. 2014051029 adopted October 21, 2015, which determined impacts including, but not limited to biological resources, cultural resources, and noise would all be less than significant. However, the EIR did determine that potentially significant impacts to air quality and traffic could occur. Mitigation measures were included to reduce the impacts to air quality and traffic as feasible, but potentially significant impacts may still occur and a Statement of Overriding Considerations was included for the EIR and this project as pursuant to Resolution No. PC15-222.
Per CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, this Addendum has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of CEQA. The analysis presented in the Addendum substantiates that the FEIR for the Specific Plan is sufficient to satisfy CEQA requirements for the approval of the proposed Project. That is, implementation and operation of the proposed Project described in the Addendum would not result in any new or substantially more severe environmental impacts than were previously considered and addressed in the Final EIR (FEIR). Further, the Project would implement all applicable mitigation measures presented in the FEIR. As such, potential environmental impacts of the Project are considered to be adequately and appropriately addressed by analysis presented in the FEIR.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
Building upon traditions that were established during the City of Menifee’s formative years, the Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan is a proposal for the development of a master-planned community that will contain a variety of innovative housing types and functional open spaces. Growth through master-planned communities is a trend that began with the development of Sun City in the early 1960s by Del Webb, followed by the development of the master-planned community of Menifee Lakes in 1989. Today, a total of 18 specific plans guide development in and around the city, mainly along Newport Road and areas east of Interstate 215 (I-215). Since the newly incorporated City of Menifee comprises Sun City, Quail Valley, and portions of Romoland, the inherent land uses and community characteristics of these neighborhoods are now part of the fabric of the city.
The Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan is a comprehensive plan for the development of a new community that will be composed of traditional residential neighborhoods combined with parks, functional open space areas, a multipurpose trail system, and road improvements. A variety of housing styles are proposed to provide a range of opportunities to residents with diverse lifestyle and economic circumstances; the variety of residential product types is intended to appeal to potential homebuyers with the emphasis on active, growing families, including first-time homebuyers and move-up buyers. Residential densities within Cimarron Ridge range from 2.7 to
3.9 dwelling units per acre (du/ac), which is consistent with the underlying General Plan land use designation of Medium Density Residential (MDR: 2.1-5 du/ac).
The Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan is designed with an unmitigated commitment to bring to life a master-planned community that will offer a distinctively superior level of living to its residents.
The commitment is to create a “sense of place” that will welcome a wide variety of the city’s population while ideally serving their most sought-after lifestyle needs.
This commitment will be realized through the creation of a remarkable approximate 10.4-gross acre sports park, which is conceptually planned to boast multiple baseball fields, two soccer fields, open spaces, a picnic pavilion, dog park, off-street parking, and children’s play areas.
Meandering walking trails throughout the Specific Plan area will connect neighborhoods, undoubtedly bringing families together and establishing new friendships. Neighborhood streets are uniquely U-shaped, naturally keeping traffic speeds at a minimum and eliminating cutthrough traffic, thus making Cimarron Ridge a haven of safe streets on which kids can play.
Thanks to a lushly landscaped Promenade street, residents will return home each day knowing they live in a truly special place.
A segmentation of home sites with 5,000-, 5,500-, 6,500-, and 10,000-square-foot lots will create neighborhoods that appeal to a wide population. Though these neighborhoods may be distinctly different in home size, they will be embraced as one within the master plan.

Thanks to the seamless connection of these multiple, sought-after characteristics, Cimarron Ridge will grow to symbolize the term “sense of place” in a most admirable way.
The Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan amendment proposes to make changes to the previously established Planning Area 4, Planning Area 5, and Planning Area 6. The Project proposes transferring 49 dwelling units from Planning Area 4 to Planning Area 5 and transferring the 10- acre park from Planning Area 5 to Planning Area 4, which does not result in any density changes.
These changes to the Planning Areas will resulting in the following:
Planning Area 4 will consist of 81 dwelling units and include a 10.4-gross acre sports park, consisting of active and passive uses for the community with on-site parking (Cimarron Ridge Proposed Specific Plan Amendment exhibit, pg. 4).
Planning Area 5 will consist of 151 dwelling units, a 1.5-acre recreation area, pickleball courts, gated with Planning Area 6, age-qualified community (Cimarron Ridge Planning Area 5 and Planning Area 6 proposed conceptual grading and gated entries exhibit, pg. 6).
The Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan was approved by the City of Menifee City Council in July 2015.
1.2 Purpose of the Specific Plan
The Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan is a comprehensive document that will guide the future development of the proposed community. The document sets forth a comprehensive set of plans, development standards, design guidelines, and implementation programs that have been designed to produce a Project that is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan.
A specific plan is defined by Government Code Section 65450 et seq. as a tool 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. To an extent, the range of issues contained in a specific plan is left to the discretion of the decision-making body.
However, all specific plans must comply with Sections 65450 - 65457 of the Government Code.
These provisions require that a specific plan be consistent with the adopted general plan of the jurisdiction within which it is located. In turn, all subsequent subdivision and parcel maps, all development, all public works projects, and zoning ordinances within an area covered by a specific plan must be consistent with the specific plan.
The purpose of the Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan Amendment is to amend the Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan, dated 2015, to relocate the approximate 10.4-gross acre multipurpose park within Planning Area 4 and to create a gated, age-specific neighborhood within Planning Area 5 and Planning Area 6.

1.3 Authority and Scope
The Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan is established through the authority granted to the City of Menifee by the California Government Code, Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 3, Sections 65450 through 65457 which sets forth the minimum requirements and review procedures for specific plans as follows:
“A specific plan shall include a text and diagram or diagrams which specify all of the following in detail:
The distribution, location, and extent of the uses of land, including open space, within the area covered by the plan.
The proposed distribution, location, and extent and intensity of major components of public and private transportation, sewage, water, drainage, solid waste disposal, energy, and other essential facilities proposed to be located within the area and needed to support the land uses described in the plan.
Standards and criteria by which improvements will proceed, and standards for the conservation, development, and utilization of natural resources, where applicable.
A program of implementation measures including regulations, programs, public works projects, and financing measures necessary to carry out paragraphs (1), (2), and (3).
The specific plan shall include a statement of the relationship of the specific plan to the general plan.”
In addition, the specific plan may address other subjects that, in the judgment of the planning agency, are necessary or desirable for implementation of the general plan. State law permits a specific plan to be prepared, adopted, or amended in the same manner as a general plan, except that a specific plan may be adopted by resolution or by ordinance, and may be amended as often as is deemed necessary by the legislative body and must be consistent with a city’s general plan.
A Planning Commission hearing and City Council hearing are required, and specific plans must be adopted by the City Council.
It is the intent of the city to adopt the Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan by ordinance as a regulatory zoning document.
1.4 Specific Plan Organization
The Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan has been prepared in a collaborative effort by a multidisciplinary design team, and is organized as follows:
Chapter 1: Introduction. Establishes the purpose, intent, authority and scope of the Specific Plan.

2.0 PLANNING CONTEXT
AND EXISTING CONDITIONS
2.1 Planning Context
The City of Menifee is one of California’s newest incorporated communities, having incorporated in October 2008. The city is centrally located in southwestern Riverside County approximately 30 miles southeast of the City of Riverside. The city encompasses approximately 50 square miles with an overall population of 77,519 persons (as of the 2010 Census). As shown in Figure 2.0-1, Regional Location Map, the city is bordered to the north by the City of Perris, to the south by the City of Murrieta, to the west by the Cities of Canyon Lake and Lake Elsinore, and to the east by unincorporated County territory.
The City of Menifee offers a variety of distinctive living environments defined by topography, history, and rural-suburban settings. Early development of the City of Menifee began with Sun City in the early 1960s as a master-planned retirement community that was envisioned by Del Webb. The Menifee area began to grow further in 1989 with the development of the masterplanned community of Menifee Lakes and continues to be one of the fastest-growing communities in California. Quail Valley is a semi-rural residential community in the northwestern portion of the city, and Romoland is a residential and commercial community located in the northeastern section of the city. Bell Mountain and other areas south of Garbani Road offer residents a more rural setting. Paloma Valley encompasses master-planned communities in Menifee.
Until 2009, Menifee was a census-designated place in the County of Riverside. On June 3, 2008, the residents of the communities encompassing the City of Menifee voted to incorporate Menifee into becoming Riverside County's twenty-sixth city. The new City of Menifee was officially established on October 1, 2008.
2.2 Project Location
As illustrated in Figure 2.0-2, Project Location Map, Cimarron Ridge is located in the northwest portion of the city approximately 2 miles west of I-215, which provides local and regional access to the Project area. The site is located south of McLaughlin Road, north of Chambers Avenue, east of Goetz Road, and west of Byers Road and Valley Boulevard.

2.3 Project Background
2.3.1 Tentative Tract Maps
The Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan Project site was originally approved and graded for development under three separate tentative tract maps (TTMs); TTM No. 25316, approved April 28, 1992; TTM No. 25745, approved December 14, 1993; and TTM No. 30552, approved May 4, 2004. The three TTMs were formally approved for 835 lots by the County of Riverside with accompanying conditions of approval. However, each TTM and its respective conditions of approval have expired. A new TTM (TTM 36658) was approved for 756 residential lots. The TTM is being recorded into Seven Final Maps as seen in Figure 2.0-3.
The overall land use concept proposed for Cimarron Ridge is described in greater detail in Chapter 3.1, Land Use Plan.

2.4 Existing Conditions
In 2007, preliminary construction activities took place on the existing Project site. As can be seen in Figure 2.0-2, Project Location Map, the site was graded and some of the building pads and street sections can be seen in the aerial image. All of the previous entitlements and construction activities were performed under the direction of the previous applicant/owner.
The previous owner proposed the Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan in order to establish a new land use plan composed of traditional residential neighborhoods with parks, functional open spaces, trails, and road improvements that meet or exceed new City, County and state requirements within a specific plan framework.
Under TTM 36658 and associated grading and improvement plans, construction activities continue. Previously, the Project site was characterized as a mass graded site containing elevated home pads, graded roads, and detention basins. As shown in the photographs below, the site was previously covered in non-native grasses and weeds.

2.5 Existing General Plan Land Uses and Zoning
On December 20, 2013, the City of Menifee City Council approved the City’s General Plan and supporting environmental impact report (EIR). Adoption of the General Plan freed the city from operating under the Riverside County Integrated Project, which was the General Plan in place before the city incorporated in 2008. The General Plan land use designation of the site is 2.1-5 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) Residential (2.1-5R), as shown in Figure 2.0-4, Existing General Plan Land Use Designation. As discussed in greater detail in Chapter 3.1, Land Use Plan, the Item Title: 10.4

proposed Land Use Plan for Cimarron Ridge is consistent with the underlying General Plan land use designation.
The city has adopted the Riverside County Zoning Map until the City updates the zoning to reflect the recently adopted General Plan. As shown in Figure 2.0-5, Existing Zoning Designation, the existing zoning of the site is predominantly Low Density Residential-2 (LDR-2).
2.6 Surrounding Land Uses
As shown in Figure 2.0-6, Surrounding Land Uses, the site is bordered by vacant land and rural residential areas to the north. Single-family residential subdivisions are located to the northwest of the site. South of these single-family homes, along the western border of the site, land uses consist of vacant land followed by rural residential homes and ranch-style properties along Sotelo Road. To the south of the Project site is vacant land. Single-family residential subdivisions are located immediately adjacent to the southeast of the site and are followed by rural residential to the northeast of the Project site.
2.7 Circulation and Site Accessibility
Existing roads located near the site include Ethanac Road to the north, which ultimately connects to I-215. Other existing roads currently serving the site include Goetz Road, which traverses the western portion of the site. Valley Boulevard is located to the southeast of the site and terminates near Thornton Avenue. Chambers Avenue and Thornton Avenue are located to the east of the site and terminate at Valley Boulevard. Rouse Road is also located east of the site and terminates near Byers Road. Troy Lane and Byers Road are located to the east of the site and are currently unpaved dirt roads. McLaughlin Road, to the north, is also an unpaved dirt road. Planned circulation for the Project is discussed in greater detail in Chapter 3.2, Circulation Plan.

3.0 COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT PLAN
3.0.1 Project Wide Planning Standards
This chapter presents plans and standards that will govern the major aspects of the future development of Cimarron Ridge. It begins with the land use plan, and subsequently describes major development components (i.e., circulation, water, sewer, drainage grading, and Project phasing). Planning standards that apply specifically to individual Planning Areas will be discussed in Chapter 4.0, Development Standards. Chapter 5.0, Design Guidelines discusses architectural and landscape design guidelines that will govern the design character of the community.
3.0.2 Planning Approach
Many important issues were thoroughly examined and considered during the preparation of this Specific Plan, including engineering feasibility, market conditions, economic viability, consistency with the General Plan, and local community goals. In addition, creative approaches in the utilization of land to accomplish a more efficient, aesthetic, and desirable development were also considered. As a result of that process, specific goals and objectives for the Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan were established.
The vision for Cimarron Ridge is to bring to life a master-planned community that will offer a distinctively superior level of living to its residents by offering a diversity of housing opportunities within walking distance to parks, permanent open space, and pedestrian-friendly trails. The commitment is to create a “sense of place” that will welcome a wide variety of the City’s population while ideally serving their most sought-after lifestyle needs. This commitment will be realized through the creation of a remarkable 10.4-gross acre multipurpose sports park, which is conceptually planned to boast multiple baseball fields, soccer field, open spaces, dog park, offstreet parking, a picnic pavilion, and children’s play areas and inclusive playground equipment.
Meandering walking trails throughout the Specific Plan area will connect neighborhoods, undoubtedly bringing families together and establishing new friendships. Neighborhood streets are uniquely U-shaped, comfortably keeping traffic speeds at a minimum and eliminating cutthrough traffic, thus making Cimarron Ridge a haven of safe streets on which kids can play.
Thanks to a lushly landscaped Promenade street, residents will return home each day knowing they live in a truly special place.
The vision for Cimarron Ridge will be achieved through application of the following objectives:
Quality of Life - Design Cimarron Ridge with an array of recreational amenities such as active and passive parks and pedestrian-friendly trails to ensure a high quality of life for residents and visitors.
Balance - Design Cimarron Ridge to provide a balanced mix of residential product types at appropriate densities with active and passive recreational opportunities that will complement the surrounding neighborhoods and create a viable community.

Community Design -Establish a strong community identity through the integration of design and architectural standards in the Specific Plan that will contain a rich pattern of landscaping, streetscaping, signage, and architecture to create attractive, walkable, and distinctive neighborhoods with a strong sense of place.
Recreation - Provide areas for active and passive recreation that will be accessible by an integrated trail and sidewalk system.
Housing Opportunities - Provide a mix of housing types that can accommodate a broad range of the market spectrum, including first-time homebuyers, move-up buyers, growing families, young professionals, and active adults and seniors.
Diversity - Establish development standards that will ensure a diversity of housing types with a variety of floor plans to meet the varying needs of multigenerational families.

3.1 LAND USE PLAN
3.4.1 Introduction
The approximately 240-acre Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan features a traditional neighborhood lifestyle with various housing types that are within easy walking distance to recreational amenities. Pedestrian connectivity is provided through a system of pedestrian trails, sidewalks, and bicycle lanes that link residential neighborhoods to one another, to parks, and to other recreational amenities. A major component of Cimarron Ridge will be an approximately 10.4- gross acre multipurpose neighborhood sports park that is planned for a wide range of activities including soccer, baseball and other field sports, dog park, picnic areas, inclusive playground equipment, and tot lots as well as informal open space and recreational areas.
3.4.2 Community Design/Implementing the Vision
Cimarron Ridge is designed with walkable neighborhoods that are supported by active and passive recreational opportunities. Each neighborhood is connected by a network of trails and pathways that encourage walking and biking throughout the community.
The design for Cimarron Ridge as a walkable community is physically realized in its Land Use Plan, which implements traditional neighborhood design techniques at both the community and neighborhood levels. Within the community, residents will be able to use an integrated system of pedestrian trails, sidewalks, and bike lanes to access parks and recreational amenities. Streets within Cimarron Ridge are planned to function as a “promenade” and will feature lush community-based landscaping, helping define the sense of arrival in Cimarron Ridge. Meandering sidewalks and trails throughout the community will connect neighborhoods, undoubtedly bringing families together and establishing new friendships. Cimarron Ridge is envisioned as a place where residents can visit with neighbors while walking along shaded pathways and trails throughout the community.
As shown in Figure 3.1-1, Conceptual Development Plan, Cimarron Ridge is designed with smaller Planning Areas which in turn produce smaller neighborhood units. The purpose of the smaller neighborhoods is to reinforce social interaction among residents and to facilitate aesthetic differentiations between neighborhoods. In terms of spatial planning, the neighborhood Planning Areas are approximately 0.25 miles in length, allowing for shorter local streets. The advantages of shorter neighborhood streets include slower-moving vehicles, greater safety for children playing in front yards, and stronger interaction between neighbors.
The Land Use Plan for Cimarron Ridge is also designed with a local street network best described as “U-shaped loop streets" within each neighborhood. This road pattern ensures that very little through-traffic will traverse local streets, thereby allowing streets to function like cul-de-sacs but with more neighborhood connectivity. By keeping the streets U-shaped and shorter in length, Cimarron Ridge alleviates high speed vehicle travel and pass-through drivers.

The Land Use Plan is further designed with a collection of individual Planning Areas. Each Planning Area will offer unique characteristics, but will be integrated into the broader, cohesive community. Collectively, the various Planning Areas are interconnected through complementary architectural and landscape themes, a network of community trails, and common recreational amenities strategically positioned throughout the community.
3.4.3 Proposed Land Uses
The Land Use Plan as shown in Figure 3.1-2, Land Use Plan depicts the overall land use pattern within Cimarron Ridge. Table 3.0-A, Land Use Summary provides a summary of the proposed land uses.

3.4.4 Residential Land Uses
Residential Planning Areas account for 92.9 percent of the total land uses for Cimarron Ridge.
These neighborhoods are discussed in greater detail in Chapter 4.0, Development Standards. The different residential land uses, densities, and lot sizes contained within the Cimarron Ridge community are described below.
Medium Density Residential, MDR (2-5 du/ac)
A total of 756 homes are planned on 223.4 acres of land at an average density of 3.1 du/ac.
Medium Density Residential (MDR) land uses are proposed for Planning Areas 1A, 2, 3, 4A, 5A, 6 and 7A.1 The MDR land use classification includes conventional single-family detached homes on minimum lot sizes varying between 5,000, 5,500, 6,500 and 10,000 square feet. Garages are generally front loaded and, where possible, are varied from the front yard setback of the living space to provide visual interest along the street scene. Varying front yard setbacks within the same structure allow architectural features to be closer to the street to create a varied street scene. Private yard space is concentrated on the side and rear of the home.
It is important to distinguish that Figure 3.1-2, Land Use Plan contains the “proposed” land use concept for the overall Specific Plan. After the Specific Plan is adopted by the City Council, the General Plan land use designations for the site will match the Land Use Plan as shown in Figure
3.1-2.
Figure 3.1-1, Conceptual Development Plan reflects the potential buildout of Cimarron Ridge.
The Conceptual Development Plan differs from the Land Use Plan in that it distinguishes individual Planning Areas by four minimum lot sizes, proposed as follows:
5,000 square feet (Planning Areas 1A, 3, 4A and 5A) – referred to as the Grassland District 5,500 square feet (Planning Area 6) – referred to as the Inland District 6,500 square feet (Planning Area 7A) – referred to as the Southland District 10,000 square feet (Planning Area 2) – referred to as the Woodland District The district names correspond with the landscape districts that are discussed in greater detail in Chapter 5.1, Landscape Design Guidelines. In general, the landscape districts were selected to distinguish the individual Planning Areas from one another by accenting the landscape through tree variations commonly seen in inland, grassland, southland, and woodland planting communities of California.
It is important to mention that while the Conceptual Development Plan depicts minimum lot sizes varying between 5,000, 5,500, 6,500 and 10,000 square feet, the “average” lot size within each district is actually much larger. As conceptually lotted in Figure 3.1-1, the average lot size for the 1 Total includes Medium Density Residential (MDR) land use only.

3.0-11
Grassland District would be 7,062 square feet, the average lot size for the Inland District would be 7,867 square feet, and the average lot size for the Southland District would be 9,118 square feet. Therefore, even though the Conceptual Development Plan is illustrative in nature, and the final placement of lots will be determined during the TTM process, preliminary lotting studies indicate that average lot sizes will be much larger than the minimum lot size standards.
The Conceptual Development Plan was included to illustrate land use combinations that will be implemented under the provisions of this Specific Plan. As such, the Conceptual Development Plan is illustrative in nature and the final alignments of streets and the placement of lots will be determined during the TTM process. However, with regard to individual Planning Areas, Chapter
4.0, Development Standards contains specific development standards and zoning criteria that would apply to each individual Planning Area based on the minimum lot sizes shown in Figure
3.1-1.
Therefore, while the underlying land use classification for each Planning Area will be MDR, Chapter 4.0, Development Standards contains specific zoning standards for each Planning Area that will implement the Conceptual Development Plan as shown in Figure 3.1-1. This will ensure that the planning objectives of the Specific Plan can be met while also ensuring that the overall Land Use Plan will contain a variety of residential product types with varying lot configurations.
3.4.5 Open Space and Recreational Land Uses
An important element of Cimarron Ridge is the provision of recreation and open spaces to enhance the quality of living for residents of the community. As illustrated in Figure 3.1-2, Land Use Plan, Cimarron Ridge includes a network of parks, pocket parks, natural open space areas, and water quality basins. Individual components of the open space system are discussed and graphically depicted on the following pages. Concept plans of the open space and recreation areas are provided to present initial designs that could be included in future design proposals.
Open Space Recreation
As shown in Figure 3.1-2, Land Use
Plan, a major component of the
Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan will be
the placement of four parks and one
natural open space area totaling
16.9 acres that are strategically and
evenly distributed throughout the
site. The placement of each park was
chosen to maximize its accessibility.
As conceptually shown in Figure
3.1-1, every home would be located
within one-half mile of a park. This will ensure that all future residents will be within a Item Title: 10.4

comfortable walking distance to a park (assuming a walking ability of 3 miles per hour, it would take approximately 10 minutes to walk one-half mile).
The central section of the site
features an approximately 10.4-gross
acre multipurpose sports park
planned in Planning Area 4A.. In
Planning Area 5A there will be a 1.5-
acre recreation center and 1.2-acre
pickleball area. As shown in Figure
3.1-3, Conceptual Park Layout,
careful thought and consideration
has been given to the initial design
concepts of the multipurpose park to
include a range of activities such as
soccer, baseball and sport fields,
walking trails, dining areas, a dog
park, inclusive playground equipment, tot lots as well as informal open space areas and recreational areas. A meandering sidewalk is also planned to connect various areas of the park.
The primary park will be further enhanced through the integration of various landscape and hardscape elements to create a highly sought-after recreational facility. With that in mind, the multipurpose park has been designed to meet the needs of the entire region, as well as the future residents and visitors of Cimarron Ridge. The park will be accessible from Goetz Road and will be open to all community members, as well as the general public.
A 1.2-acre pickleball facility is located in Planning Area 5B. This facility will be private. The surrounding court area will be landscaped with trees and turf and walkways throughout. South of the courts is a small area for social gatherings and a dog park for residents. The courts and surrounding area will be fenced. On-street parking will be utilized. See Figure 3.1-4.
A 1.5-acre recreation center is
located in Planning Area 5B. The
private recreation center will be used
by residents of Planning Areas 5B
and 6. The recreation center will
include on-site parking, lap pool with
seating niche, restrooms, meeting
room, turf event area, outdoor dining
area, BBQ, and produce garden. See
Figure 3.1-5.

The Quimby Act permits local jurisdictions to require dedication of land, payment of fees, or both, to provide up to 5 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents in new developments. The City of Menifee General Plan utilizes a standard of 5 acres of parkland per 1,000 persons (City of Menifee General Plan, Open Space and Recreation Element, Policy 1.2). In addition, the city adopted Ordinance No. 2014-160 which amended the City’s Municipal Code by adding Chapter 9.45 to require the dedication of land or the payment of fees in-lieu-thereof for park and recreational purposes as a condition of approval for residential developments. As shown below in Table 3.0-C, State Quimby Required Parkland and Proposed Parkland, the13.8 acres of combined park space in Planning Areas 1B, 4B, and 5B will fulfill the State Quimby Act requirements. Using a population factor of 2.85 average population per unit, Cimarron Ridge would generate approximately 2,154 residents. Applying the State Quimby Act and General Plan requirements of 5 acres per 1,000 persons, Cimarron Ridge would be required to set aside 10.77 acres of park area. The Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan contains 13.3 acres of combined park area. It is not anticipated that payment in-lieu-of pursuant to City Municipal Code Section 9.45 to offset the difference in required parkland is needed with the Specific Plan Amendment.
Table 3.0-C, State Quimby Required Parkland and Proposed Parkland Total Number of Units Average Population per Unit Assessment Factor (Acre/Resident) Required Quimby Acres Total Parkland Proposed 756 2.851 5/1000 10.77 13.3
1 The population factor of 2.85 persons per household was provided by City staff. The calculation to determine the Required Quimby Acres is as follows: (756 dwelling units) x (2.85 average population/unit) x (0.005 Assessment Factor) = 10.77 acres of Parkland Required for Dedication.
Water Quality Basin
As shown in Figure 3.1-1, Conceptual Development Plan, four water quality basins totaling 11.5 acres are planned for in Planning Areas 1A, 4A, 5A, and 6. Water quality basins are an allowable land use in the residential land use category and are calculated on the Land Use Plan and in the land use tables above as having an underlying land use designation of MDR. Therefore, the water quality basins are counted within the total acreage for the MDR land use category.
The four water quality basins serve as detention basins during large storm events and facilitate drainage across the community. Furthermore, each basin will be located along the perimeter of the community and will serve as a buffer to perimeter roadways and off-site land uses. In concert with the surrounding homes, each basin will have its own special landscape treatment to convey unique design and character. The basins are not expected to provide any active recreational or park amenities, but they will serve as an open space amenity for the community. A conceptual basin concept is depicted in Figure 3.1-7. As shown, the basins are envisioned to contain a special landscape treatment that will reinforce the community landscape theme and serve as an open space amenity.

As shown in Figure 3.1-2, Land Use Plan, approximately 3.1 acres in Planning Area 7B are designed as natural open space, which is designated as Open Space Conservation on the Land Use Plan. This area consists of steep slopes and will serve to provide support and banking to the adjacent lots and roads and function as a view shed of the natural environment. It is important to note that while the land use category is Open Space Conservation, the designation is not intended to imply that this area serves as a habitat conservation area. Rather, for the purposes of this Specific Plan, the 3.1 acres is not counted toward developable area, and will remain in its natural habitat.

3.4.6 Trail Network
An important element of Cimarron Ridge is the provision of an interconnecting trail network that will serve residents and the surrounding communities. The trail system will provide opportunities for pedestrian travel and recreation, as well as increase public access to useable open space and recreational spaces. The trail network includes a 10-foot- wide multipurpose trail along Valley Boulevard and Goetz Road that will facilitate access and connect individual neighborhoods to the proposed 10.4-gross acre sports park. Other components of the trail system include an enhanced sidewalk along Byers Road, a 6-foot-wide Class II bicycle lane along McLaughlin Road, Valley Boulevard, Goetz Road, U Street, and Thornton Avenue, a 5-foot-wide Class II bicycle lane along Byers Road, and numerous sidewalks planned throughout the community. The bicycle trails and sidewalks are intended to provide pedestrian connections to individual Planning Areas and to individual lots within each Planning Area. Finally, streets planned for Cimarron Ridge are designed to feature distinctive community-based landscaping, sidewalks, and trails that reinforce pedestrian- friendly circulation. The community’s trail system is described in greater detail in Chapter 3.2, Circulation Plan.
The Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan will also provide connectivity to the off-site Southern California Edison (SCE) Multipurpose Trail to the north of the site. The SCE Multipurpose Trail is a naturally maintained trail that runs adjacent to McLaughlin Boulevard. The SCE Multipurpose Trail provides hiking, biking, and equestrian uses. The SCE Multipurpose Trail is discussed in more detail in Chapter 3.2, Circulation Plan.
3.4.7 Street Network
Cimarron Ridge consists of approximately 65 acres of infrastructure, which includes the backbone street network. The circulation routes range from 56-foot-wide local streets to 128-foot-wide arterial roadways. Local streets are not shown in Figure 3.1-2, Land Use Plan as the final alignments of all internal streets will be determined during the tract map and grading stage. The community’s circulation system is discussed in more detail in Chapter 3.2, Circulation Plan. However, as conceptually shown in Figure 3.1-1, Conceptual Development Plan, a major feature of the Land Use Plan for Cimarron Ridge will be the local street network that will feature “U- shaped loop streets" within each neighborhood. This road pattern ensures that very little through-traffic will traverse local streets, thereby allowing streets to function like cul-de-sacs but with more neighborhood connectivity. By keeping the local residential street U-shaped and shorter in length, Cimarron Ridge alleviates high speed vehicle travel and pass-through drivers. In addition, U Street, and Thornton Avenue are proposed as Promenade streets. Promenade streets are a central feature of Cimarron Ridge. They are designed to feature rich community-based streetscapes, helping define the sense of arrival in Cimarron Ridge, and to complement the urban design fabric while also contributing to the overall site character. The community’s circulation system is discussed in more detail in Chapter 3.2, CirculationPlan.

3.4.8 Development Standards
In order to ensure the orderly development of the residential and recreational uses proposed for the Specific Plan, zoning standards have been created for each Planning Area. These area-specific standards are discussed in detail in Chapter 4, Development Standards. In addition to these specific descriptions, Project-wide development standards have been prepared to complement the unique conditions within each Planning Area. These general standards are as follows:
1) The total Specific Plan shall be developed with up to 756 dwelling units on approximately 240 acres, as illustrated on the Land Use Plan (Figure 3.1-2, Land Use Plan). General uses permitted will include residential, parks, recreation, open space and circulation as delineated on the Land Use Plan, and in Chapter 4, Development Standards. 2) Each Planning Area contains a target number of dwelling units based on adjusted gross density. During the site plan and TTM stage of the development process, the final number of dwelling units for a particular Planning Area may differ from those identified in the Specific Plan, so long as the density falls within the range specified by the land use designation. Furthermore, the actual amount of units may be less than, but shall not be more than, the noted number of dwelling units for each Planning Area as illustrated on the Land Use Plan (Figure 3.1-2).
3) Common areas identified in the Specific Plan shall be owned and maintained as follows:
a) A permanent master maintenance organization shall be established for the Specific Plan area, to assume ownership and maintenance responsibility for all common recreation, open space, circulation systems and landscaped areas. The organization may be public or private. A merger with an area-wide or regional organization will satisfy this standard provided that such organization is legally and financially capable of assuming the responsibilities for ownership and maintenance. If the organization is a private association, then neighborhood associations may be established for each residential development, as needed, and such associations may assume ownership and maintenance responsibilities for neighborhood common areas.
b) Unless otherwise provided for in these standards, 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 determined prior to or concurrent with recordation of any final subdivision map.

3.2 CIRCULATION PLAN
3.2.1 Introduction
The Circulation Plan for Cimarron Ridge reinforces the concept of traditional neighborhood design. The Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan proposes a circulation system comprising roads, pedestrian pathways, and trails to provide for efficient and effective access to and through the site. The Circulation Plan is designed to provide optimal circulation efficiency as well as safety for guests and residents. A description of the proposed Circulation Plan is described below.
3.2.2 Project Access
As described in Chapter 2.0, Planning Context and Existing Conditions existing roads located near the site include Ethanac Road to the north, which ultimately connects to I-215. Other existing roads currently serving the site include Goetz Road which traverses the western portion of the site. Valley Boulevard is located to the southeast of the site and terminates near Thornton Avenue.
Chambers Avenue and Thornton Avenue are located to the east of the site and terminate at Valley Boulevard. Rouse Road is also located east of the site and terminates near Byers Road. Troy Lane and Byers Road are located to the east of the site and are currently unpaved dirt roads.
McLaughlin Road, to the north, is also an unpaved dirt road.
As shown in Figure 3.2-1, General Plan Roadway Network, Cimarron Ridge is located approximately 2 miles west of I-215, which is the major thoroughfare in this portion of the County, linking Menifee to northern Riverside County and San Diego County. A system of connected expressways, arterial highways, and collector roads are planned to serve the Project area and augment I-215 in moving through traffic to and from other communities. Planned expressways near the Project site include Ethanac Road, which is located 0.5 miles to the north.
Valley Boulevard is planned as an arterial road traversing the site. Planned major roads that would serve the site include Goetz Road and Rouse Road (which are both planned to terminate at Valley Boulevard). Planned secondary roads that would serve the site include McLaughlin Road, Murrieta Road, and Chambers Avenue to the east. Byers Road is located immediately to the east of the site and is a designated collector road to facilitate access to Ethanac Road and other roads that facilitate traffic.
Primary access to the Project site will be from Valley Boulevard and Goetz Road. Secondary access to the site will be via McLaughlin Road to the north and Thornton Avenue to the south. A number of interior circulation roads will facilitate access to the interior of the Project site.

3.2.3 Vehicular Network
The vehicular network system proposed for Cimarron Ridge establishes a design hierarchy where local streets serving the individual neighborhoods feed into collector streets that will form the backbone system through the site. The Circulation Plan includes several roadway sizes and classifications, as described in more detail below.
The local roads planned for PA 5A and PA 6 will be private roadways but will be built to the appropriate classification standards set forth in The Circulation Plan below.
Valley Boulevard
As shown in Figure 3.2-1, General Plan Roadway Network, Valley Boulevard is designated in the Menifee General Plan as an arterial roadway (four lanes, divided). As of the writing of this Specific Plan, this roadway is currently improved between Chambers Avenue and Thornton Avenue as a two-lane roadway with a sidewalk and landscaped buffer on the eastern side of the street (see Photo 3.2-1 below). The section of Valley Boulevard north of Thornton Avenue is unimproved and undeveloped.
Photo 3.2-1. View of Valley Boulevard looking northwest toward the intersection of Valley Boulevard and Thornton Avenue
As shown in Figure 3.2-2, Proposed Circulation Plan, Valley Boulevard will be constructed as a part of the Project from the intersection of Thornton Avenue to the intersection of McLaughlin Road. When completed, Valley Boulevard will provide improved access for the existing surrounding communities from the southern portion of the Project area to the northern area. As shown in Figure 3.2-3, Roadway Cross Sections and in the picture below, Valley Boulevard is Item Title: 10.4

planned as a 128-foot-wide right-of-way with four travel lanes and a raised median to separate oncoming traffic. Valley Boulevard is also enhanced with a striped 6-foot-wide Class II bike lane on each side of the roadway. The Class II bike lane is designed for bike use only and would prohibit parking along both sides of the street. Along the western side of Valley Boulevard, a 26- foot-wide parkway is proposed to accommodate a planned 10-foot-wide multipurpose trail and a 5-foot-wide sidewalk that would be separated from the roadway by a landscaped parkway.
Along the eastern side of Valley Boulevard, a 20-foot-wide parkway is proposed with a planned 5-foot-wide meandering sidewalk that will be separated from the roadway by a landscaped parkway.
Goetz Road
As shown in Figure 3.2-1, Goetz Road is designated in the Menifee General Plan as a major roadway (four lanes, divided). As of the writing of this Specific Plan, the roadway is currently improved as a two-lane roadway without any curbs, gutters, or sidewalks. A picture of Goetz Road is shown below.
A General Plan Amendment is currently being processed for a technical correction to rectify mapping errors which resulted in inaccurate depictions of the alignment of Goetz Road.
Specifically, Exhibit C-3 Roadway Network of the General Plan recognizes two alignments for Goetz Road at the intersection with Valley Boulevard: 1) the existing, built alignment of Goetz Road that would merge with Valley Boulevard, and 2) the realignment of Goetz Road that would include a controlled intersection with Valley Boulevard. Figure 3.2-1, General Plan Roadway Network illustrates the existing General Plan roadway network shown in the General Plan, including both alignments for Goetz Road. The technical correction will change the General Plan roadway network to match what is shown on Figure 3.2-2, ProposedCirculation Plan.

Multipurpose Trails
As shown in Figure 3.2-4, Non-Vehicular Circulation Plan, a 10-foot-wide multipurpose trail is proposed along the eastern side of Goetz Avenue and along the western side of Valley Boulevard. Goetz Road is shown in the General Plan Open Space Element as a designated Regional Trail. The multipurpose trail system along Goetz Road and Valley Boulevard will provide connectivity within the much larger surrounding community and lead to the 10.4-gross acre sports park, encouraging pedestrians and bicyclists to travel from surrounding areas.
As shown in Figure 3.2-3, Roadway Cross Sections and in the picture below, the proposed multipurpose trail system accommodates all modes of non-motorized transportation and features an earthen path with landscaping on both sides. The pathway will consist of decomposed natural granite blended with a soil stabilizer. Access to the multipurpose trail along Goetz Road will be provided by Thornton Avenue and U Street, while access to the multipurpose trail along Valley Boulevard will be provided by Thornton Avenue and Goetz Road.
An Example of a Multipurpose Trail
The multipurpose trail will provide pedestrian connections to McLaughlin Boulevard. The multipurpose trail also will provide connections to the off-site SCE trail north of McLaughlin Boulevard. Lastly, the multipurpose trail will provide pedestrian connectivity to the Promenade streets along Thornton Avenue and U Street. Promenade streets are pedestrian and bicycle oriented and feature a Class II bike lane on both sides of the right-of-way, meandering sidewalks, and a rich streetscape.

Class II Bike Lane
As shown in Figure 3.2-4, Non-Vehicular Circulation Plan, a striped Class II bike lane is proposed along both sides of Valley
Boulevard, Goetz Road, U Street, and
Thornton Avenue, and along the southern side
of McLaughlin Road. The Class II bike lane will
provide a 6-foot-wide striped lane for oneway bike travel. Except for along Byers Road, the Class II bike lane is designed for bike use
only and would prohibit parking along both
sides of the street. Along Byers Road, the Class
II bike lane is 5 feet wide and would
accommodate parallel parking along the
shoulder. The Class II bike lane is designed to
help link residents of individual
neighborhoods to the proposed multipurpose
trail system and to the planned 10.4-gross
acre sports park along Goetz Road and Valley Boulevard in the center of the community.
Sidewalks
As shown in Figure 3.2-4, Non-Vehicular
Circulation Plan, sidewalks are proposed
within the right-of-way of streets and roads in
Cimarron Ridge. Sidewalks serve to provide
pedestrian connections between the
individual Planning Areas and individual lots
within each Planning Area. As shown in
Figure 3.2-3, Roadway Cross Sections,
various sidewalk widths are proposed within
the different street sections, and sidewalks
are proposed on both sides of the right-ofway for all streets. In addition, an enhanced sidewalk is featured along the west side of Byers Road. The enhanced sidewalk is 3 feet wider to provide optimal pedestrian linkage to the 10.4-gross acre sports park.
Sidewalks are intended to provide safe and efficient travel for pedestrians and bicyclists and facilitate connectivity to the larger roadways and trail systems within the community. By using various combinations of sidewalks, Class II bike lanes, and multipurpose trails, users will be connected to all recreational areas in Cimarron Ridge and to off-site recreational areas immediately outside of the community.

3.3 PUBLIC FACILITIES PLAN
3.3.1 Introduction
Conceptual infrastructure facility and service plans have been developed for the Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan to provide water and sewer services to the community and to identify the utility service companies servicing the Project area. These system plans are conceptual, based on preliminary service layouts and evaluations, and may be subject to modifications due to more precise engineering studies.
3.3.2 Water System
The Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) provides water and wastewater service to the Cimarron Ridge Project area. Domestic water provided by the EMWD is served with a blend of the California State Water Project and Colorado River waters, imported and supplied to the EMWD by the Metropolitan Water District (MWD).
The conceptual water system plan has been developed to service the Cimarron Ridge community, as shown on Figure 3.3-1, Water Distribution Plan. Adequate water service can be provided for the proposed Project using existing and planned facilities. As shown on Figure 3.3-1, the site will be serviced by the 1627 and 1798 water pressure service zones; additionally, the community’s domestic water plan includes water lines that will be located in the planned rightsof-way varying in maximum diameter from 8 inches, 12 inches, and 18 inches.
As also shown on Figure 3.3-1, existing 12-inch water lines are located north of the site along McLaughlin Road and Valley Boulevard and to the east of the site along Thornton Avenue.
The conceptual water plan proposes to construct an 18-inch pipeline along the length of Valley Boulevard in order to provide connectivity from the Goetz Road booster station to the Ridgewater Road booster station and provide the primary source of water supply to the site. In addition, a 12-inch pipeline is proposed to extend from Thornton Avenue westerly across the site to Goetz Road, and then northerly along Goetz Road to complete the loop. However, prior to the proposed 12-inch pipeline reaching Goetz Road, it will branch out and extend southerly along an internal roadway to the southeast corner of the site. Finally, 8-inch pipelines are proposed to branch out from the planned 12-inch and 18-inch pipelines and the existing 12-inch pipeline to the north of the site to service individual neighborhoods.
In order to provide a reliable source of water for firefighting purposes, potable water is also delivered to all fire hydrants and fire sprinkler systems utilizing the potable water system. Thus, piping facilities for potable water are designed to accommodate both the domestic demand and the firefighting demand.

3.3.3 Sewer Facilities
The EMWD provides wastewater/sanitary sewer service to the Project area. The conceptual wastewater/sewer system plan is depicted in Figure 3.3-2, Sewer Network Plan.
As shown in Figure 3.3-2, existing 10-inch and 12-inch sewer lines are located along McLaughlin Road and an 8-inch line is located along Thornton Avenue. The Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan proposes the construction of an interior system of sewer lines along planned residential streets of the Cimarron Ridge community to service individual Planning Areas. Specifically, 8-inch lines are proposed along residential streets and cul-de-sacs and a 10-inch line is proposed along a portion of Byers Road to connect to the existing 10-inch sewer line along McLaughlin Boulevard.
3.3.4 Drainage Facilities
Preliminary hydrology studies, water quality studies, and on-site and off-site hydrology analysis conducted for the Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan indicate the need for the Cimarron Ridge Project to detain on-site the increased stormwater runoff that would result from Project development.
The existing site is vacant and was previously rough graded per the previously approved TTMs.
Therefore, in its current state, the site generates limited volumes of runoff. However, in its developed state, the Project will include extensive areas of impermeable surfaces from which rain will run off; this “additional” runoff (difference between existing and future) is the responsibility of the Project to detain on-site.
To capture, convey and detain this on-site runoff, a system of on-site detention facilities have been designed, located, and sized to accommodate the projected stormwater volumes. The Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan proposes a series of water quality basins and detention basins that have been integrated into the Land Use Plan (see Figure 3.1-2) and are planned to be situated at the low portion of each sub-area.
The conceptual Drainage Plan as illustrated on Figure 3.3-2 shows the planned storm drains, water quality basins, and detention basins.
As shown in Figure 3.3-2, Planning Areas 1 and 2 both drain to the east to the proposed water quality/detention basin located in Planning Area 1. This basin will then outlet to an existing 72- inch storm drain east of the site. The off-site area to the south of the site is collected along the southerly side of Planning Areas 1 and 2 and conveyed through the Project and then off-site by way of a proposed off-site 51-inch storm drain that will convey storm flow to an existing 51-inch storm drain. The Project, through the use of the three proposed desilting basins along the south side of Planning Areas 1 and 2, will mitigate the flow through routing and controlling the discharge so that it does not exceed the existing design capacity. Planning Areas 3 and 4 will drain to a proposed water quality/detention basin located in the middle of the site in Planning Area 4.
This basin will then outlet to an existing 90-inch storm drain located east of the Project boundary.
Planning Areas 5, 6, 7 and 8 will drain to a proposed water quality/detention basin located in Item Title: 10.4

Planning Area 6 and discharge to Line A-14 of the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District’s Romoland Master Drainage Plan.
The Romoland Master Drainage Plan includes a regional storm drain improvement system referred to as “Line A” in the plan. Line A and its subsidiary storm drain lines consist of a series of open channel and closed conduit systems running in a general east–west direction and out flowing into the San Jacinto River watershed system. According to the City of Menifee General Plan EIR, the system has capacity of 5,250 cubic feet per second and discharges into the San Jacinto River.

3.4 GRADING PLAN
3.4.1 Introduction
The Conceptual Grading Plan for the Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan has been prepared in conjunction with the land use and circulation plans to provide building pads that are safe from flooding or inundation. The grading concept is responsive to the physical character, location and type of land use, as well as the visual and environmental qualities of the site. The conceptual grading plan proposed for Cimarron Ridge is discussed in more detail below.
3.4.2 Existing Site Conditions
As described in Chapter 2.0, Planning Context and Existing Conditions, the site was previously mass graded and contains several elevated home pads, graded roads, and detention basins. The preliminary grading activities took place in 2007 and the site is currently being graded under TTM 36685 and the subsequent recorded maps, grading, and improvement plans.
As shown in Figure 3.4-1, Existing Topography Map 2007, the highest elevation is at 1,660 feet above mean sea level and the lowest elevation is at 1,456 feet above mean sea level. A portion of the site along the western perimeter contains steep slopes with elevations that range from approximately 1,560 feet to 1,640 feet, a difference of 80 feet.
3.4.3 Proposed Grading
The primary purpose of grading is to construct developable building lots, provide support and banking to roads, drainage and water quality features, and to provide access to the individual Planning Areas.
The conceptual Grading Plan is shown in Figure 3.4-2, Proposed Grading Plan. All cut and fill will be balanced on-site and will not require import or export of materials. Approximately 999,775 cubic yards of material will be moved overall (total estimated cut and fill) to achieve the cut and fill balance. This quantity may vary as final grading plans are developed. Balance of cut and fill in each phase; and within each Planning Area is the goal, however, in some cases a limited amount of off-phase grading may occur for borrow and stock piling sites.
This Grading Plan is conceptual in nature and therefore, as each development phase or Planning Area is submitted, a phase-specific Grading plan shall be submitted to the City for review and approval. Grading may occur in phases as development applications are processed. Specific phasing for each of the Planning Areas is discussed in Chapter 3.5, Phasing Plan.
3.4.4 Development Standards
1) All grading shall be in substantial conformance with the conceptual Grading Plan and shall implement any grading-related mitigation measures outlined in the EIR prepared for the Project.

Second Reading and Adoption of the Ordinances for the Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan and Development Agreement Amendments
Menifee Mayor and City Council April 3, 2024 Page 129 of 1410
3.0-52
2) Prior to any development within any Planning Area, an overall preliminary grading plan for the Planning Area in process shall be submitted to the Community Development Department and Public Works Engineering Department for approval. The grading plan for each such Planning Area shall be used as a guideline for subsequent detailed grading plans for individual stages of development within that Planning Area and shall include:
(i) techniques employed to prevent erosion and sedimentation during and after the grading process; (ii) approximate time frames for grading and (iii) any necessary planning phase-specific water quality management plan (WQMP) resulting from changes that impact the overall WQMP approved for the development. Each Project-specific WQMP shall be reviewed and approved by theCity.
3) All cut and/or fill or individual combinations thereof shall meet the minimum requirements of the California Building Code or governing code at the time of application submittal.
4) All grading activity shall conform to the recommendations of the preliminary soils report and subsequent reports prepared in conjunction with the grading plans. 5) The applicant shall be responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of all planting and irrigation systems until those operations become the responsibility of other parties. 6) When consistent with an approved Grading Plan, grading shall be permitted outside of the immediate area of development as follows:
a) Borrow sites are permitted on consenting off-site property and in areas scheduled for future development.
b) Excess cut from a given phase may be placed as engineered fill in a future development area or disposed of on consenting off-site property. 7) Grading work on the entire site shall be balanced on-site whenever possible. 8) The site is to comply with the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) best management practices for erosion and sedimentation control. 9) The site is to comply with the latest adopted WQMP guidelines for new developments as required by the latest MS4 Permit for the City of Menifee. 10)A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) must be developed and implemented concurrent with commencement of grading activities. A copy must be provided to the Public Works Engineering Department prior to issuance of a grading permit.

3.5 PHASING PLAN
3.5.1 Introduction
The Phasing Plan has been designed to best utilize existing and planned infrastructure for an orderly and cost-effective approach to buildout. Development will occur in response to market demands and in accordance with the installation of necessary roads, wet infrastructure, and associated sites as outlined in this chapter. Accordingly, because the Phasing Plan is considered to be flexible, changes to the Phasing Plan will be considered minor provided that the Community Development Director determines that infrastructure is available to serve that phase, and that any mitigation measures linked to that phase, location, or level of development are implemented, as outlined in Chapter 6.0, Administration, Implementation and Maintenance.
3.5.2 Conceptual Phasing Plan
As depicted in Figure 3.5-1, Phasing Plan, Cimarron Ridge is designed for development in seven phases. Table 3.5-1, Conceptual Phasing Schedule identifies the approximate number and estimated timing of units to be constructed during each phase. In conjunction with the development of proposed homes, the orderly extension and construction of roadways, public utilities, and infrastructure will also occur.

Buildout of Planning Areas 1-7 shall follow the Phasing Plan shown in Figure 3.5-1.
This conceptual development phasing represents the best estimate of the applicant. The exact phasing and timing in which the roads and other infrastructure are constructed may be dependent on the processing of off-site improvement permits and extension of off-site improvements. Additionally, the exact order in which internal streets and other infrastructure are constructed is dependent on the location of each Planning Area and its estimated timing, subsequently the Planning Areas can be constructed in any order as well as concurrently.
Therefore, the proposed conceptual phasing schedule may be amended in conjunction with approval of tentative maps and site plans without requiring an amendment to the Specific Plan as outlined in Chapter 6.1, Administration and Implementation Plan.
3.5.3 Development Standards
1) The phasing sequence described herein is conceptual. Therefore, at the time of development, if it is determined that the market demand warrants certain Planning Areas to be developed out of the expected sequence, it will be permissible provided that the required infrastructure and services are available at the time of development.

4.0 DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
4.1 Introduction
The primary implementation guidance tool for Cimarron Ridge is this Specific Plan, which establishes the character of the development through the definition of permitted land uses, required infrastructure, development regulations, and design guidelines. The standards and regulations contained in this section, and the Design Guidelines contained in Chapter 5, provide the framework upon which all subsequent implementation planning decisions are based, and criteria for determining consistency of site-specific design with the Specific Planobjectives.
It is the purpose of this chapter to serve as the development regulations for Cimarron Ridge.
When the Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan and associated change of zone are adopted by ordinance, these regulations and standards will supersede the corresponding Zoning Ordinance of the City.
Where the Specific Plan is silent on a development issue, regulation or procedure, or where reference is made to a specific ordinance section, the applicable section(s) of the City Zoning Ordinance shall prevail. Where design guidelines or development standards of the Specific Plan do not agree with the City ordinances, this Specific Plan shall apply.
4.2 Residential Development Standards
Medium Density Residential (MDR) land uses are proposed for Planning Areas 1A, 2, 3, 4A, and 7A. Planning Areas 5A and 6 will be single-family age-restricted developments. There will be a total of 756 homes on 240 acres of land at an average density of 3.1 du/ac. The envisioned housing types would be conventional single-family detached homes with attached garages. The homes will have a variety of floor plans and architectural elevations. Planning Areas 5A and 6 will be single family age restricted developments.
4.2.1 Medium Density Residential (MDR)
MDR is the principal land use proposed for Cimarron Ridge and is the only residential land use classification. The MDR designation is used for the purposes of maintaining consistency with the General Plan Land Use Map. However, as illustrated in Figure 3.1-1, Conceptual Development Plan, the residential planning areas are distinguished in this Specific Plan by minimum lot size.
The four minimum lot sizes proposed are:
5,000 square foot minimum (Planning Areas 1A, 3, 4A and 5A) – Grassland District 5,500 square foot minimum (Planning Area 6) – Inland District 6,500 square foot minimum (Planning Area 7A) – Southland District 10,000 square foot minimum (Planning Area 2) – Woodland District To ensure a logical, orderly, and sensitive development of land uses proposed for Cimarron Ridge, special development criteria and standards have been created for each lot size to address setbacks, pad sizes, lot coverage and encroachments. Figures 4.1-1 through 4.1-4 illustrate these Item Title: 10.4

concepts and provide information regarding placement of residences within the community.
Each figure contains a detail of the typical lot, with a corresponding table that lists specific development standards for that lot size. It is important to note that the illustrations represent possible development patterns based on the detached residential products envisioned for the Cimarron Ridge community; however, other designs that conform to the development standards may also be used.
Finally, while this Specific Plan distinguishes between minimum required lot sizes, the underlying land use designation for each Planning Area regardless of lot size is MDR, as shown in Figure 3.1-2, Land Use Plan. Water quality basins that are shown on the Land Use Plan also have an underlying land use designation of MDR. Therefore, the development standards related to the basins are also discussed here.
Principal Permitted Uses – Medium Density Residential (MDR) Uses include those listed below when developed in compliance with the purpose and intent of this Specific Plan.
One-family dwellings
Parks
Flood control basins, retention basins and related facilities Swimming pools
Temporary real estate tract offices located within a subdivision to be used for and during the original sale of the subdivision
Any use that is not specifically listed herein may be considered a principal permitted use or a conditionally permitted use provided that the Community Development Director finds that the proposed use is substantially the same in character and intensity as those listed in this Specific Plan
Accessory Permitted Uses – Medium Density Residential (MDR) Utility facilities
Private recreation facilities
Recreation centers
Swimming pools and spas
Tot lots
Other accessory uses as determined by the Community Development Director to be substantially compatible with a principal permitted residential use The development standards for MDR designated areas are listed in Figures 4.1-1 through 4.1-4.

5.0 DESIGN GUIDELINES
5.0.1 Introduction
The following Design Guidelines are intended to provide a general framework for the physical design of the Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan. The purpose of these Design Guidelines is to establish planning and architectural themes and to promote aesthetic quality along with community diversity.
These guidelines are intended to provide criteria for design, while allowing flexibility for architects, landscape architects, developers, builders and others involved in the design of community elements. Variation and customization within the context of the guidelines by a builder is encouraged to achieve individually distinctive neighborhoods complemented by recreational amenities and neighborhood linkages. To that end, these guidelines establish a design framework to help the City of Menifee staff, decision makers, citizens, design professionals, and developers understand and implement this Project. The pictures presented in this section are intended to convey the general design purpose of the Design Guidelines and are not intended to require the specific design style depicted. Thus, these guidelines identify actions or outcomes that are encouraged but not mandatory.
The following Design Guidelines are divided into two chapters: 5.1 Landscape Design Guidelines and 5.2 Architectural Design Guidelines.

5.1 LANDSCAPE DESIGN
GUIDELINES
5.1.1 Purpose
The Landscape Design Guidelines for Cimarron Ridge are intended to establish thematic and visual elements within the community. As illustrated in Figure 5.1-1, Landscape Theme Plan, careful attention has been given to set the overall character of the Cimarron Ridge community through a unified theme of plant materials and inert landscape materials. Within this unified theme are planned subtle differences in the landscape elements for smaller sub-communities that create individual neighborhood units.
As described in greater detail below, these Landscape Design Guidelines are composed of seven major thematic landscape elements. Thematic elements are generally considered major Project improvements that occur at the community or neighborhood level, and which assist in establishing the overall design theme for Cimarron Ridge. The thematic elements include:
Community Theme Concept
Plant Palette
Streetscapes
Entry Monumentation
Open Space and Recreation
Walls and Fences
Lighting
These thematic landscape elements occur throughout the community and unite Cimarron Ridge under a common design theme. General design guidelines and design criteria for the community landscape elements are described throughout this chapter.
The Landscape Design Guidelines will also comply with the landscaping requirements stated in the Cimarron Ridge Fire Protection Plan approved in July 2023.
Finally, these Landscape Design Guidelines are provided as a resource to those involved in the design and implementation of this Specific Plan, and—illustrative in nature—are meant to be flexible and respond to changes in taste and environmental concerns over time.5.1.2 Community Theme Concept As illustrated in Figure 5.1-1, Landscape Theme Plan, these Landscape Design Guidelines divide Cimarron Ridge into four landscape districts, each possessing a slight distinct landscape character while still maintaining uniformity and consistency to the overall landscape theme vision of the community. The four landscape districts follow the four planning area categories that are used throughout this Specific Plan (i.e., 5,000, 5,500, 6,500, and 10,000 square foot minimum lot sizes). The rationale for having the four landscape districts is to provide diversity Item Title: 10.4

within the community and to distinguish the individual Planning Areas from one another by accenting the landscape through tree variations commonly seen in inland, grassland, southland and woodland planting communities of California. While building neighborhood identity through district tree accenting will be an important feature in the development, the identity of the Project will be defined by important features found consistently throughout all of the designed open spaces. Ornamental grasses in mass groupings, native and drought-tolerant plant material, and unique accent plant variety plantings will positively characterize the landscape at Cimarron Ridge. These Landscape Design Guidelines will ensure that a cohesive landscape fabric will be created to unify the overall community at all levels of development. The landscape plant palette, which is discussed in greater detail below (see Figure 5.1-2 Landscape Plant Palette), lists the recommended species to be used in the specific areas described in the Landscape Guidelines.
As described below, each landscape district is accented by trees commonly found in the California regions that the district is named after. The recommended trees for each district are to be planted in the street rights-of-way within each planning area. The selected plant species are all suitable for this climate and region and are on the County of Riverside California Friendly Plant List. The four landscape districts are as follows:
Inland District – Lemon bottlebrush, Brisbane box, and mimosa trees are commonly found in the inland areas of Southern California and will be used to accent the Inland District. These trees are known to be dramatic during blooming periods, free forming in growth, and extremely colorful. They also have a soft dry appearance that creates a delicate focal point.
Grassland District – Western sycamore, African sumac and cork oak are commonly found in the grassland areas adjacent to foothills and rivers throughout California and will be used to accent the Grassland District. These trees are considered to be more sculptural in appearance and have an organic form to their shape. In the landscape, these trees create subtle focal points which help identify the importance of the place. These trees will give the streetscape a unique identity.
Southland District – Strawberry trees, Southern magnolia trees and golden rain trees are traditionally found in urban landscapes of traditional Southland basins and will be used in the Southland District. Unique to these trees is the ornamental appearance, formal shape that the tree grows into, and the symmetrical structure that the trees take. These trees take on an elegant presentation and easily draw focal attention when they are the within the streetscapes.
Woodland District – London plane, American sweet gum and coast live oak are commonly found in larger areas that provide enough open space for them to tower over smaller plant material. These trees are considered to be more monumental in appearance and have more of a structural formal shape. In the landscape, these trees create foundational focal points which help carry a larger scale appearance. These trees will provide the district streetscape with a classical large tree street appearance.

5.1.3 Plant Palette
It is the intent of these Landscape Design Guidelines to provide flexibility and diversity in plant material selection, while maintaining a selected palette to give greater unity and thematic identity to the community.
The plant material lists have been selected for their appropriateness to the Project theme, climactic conditions, soil, and concern for maintenance. The selected plant palette is particularly suitable to the area; they tolerate a wide temperature range, have low water consumption requirements, and withstand local wind conditions.
These Landscape Design Guidelines have been developed pursuant to City Ordinance No. 2009- 061. The selected plant species are on the County of Riverside California Friendly Plant List.
Wherever possible, overall plant materials shall have compatible drought-resistant characteristics. Irrigation programming can then be designed to minimize water application for the entire landscape setting.
Plant material guidelines provide guidance as to the proper plant materials for community setting such as entries, streetscapes, and open space areas. The landscaping plan for Cimarron Ridge calls for a
compatible plant
palette of trees, shrubs,
grasses, groundcovers
and accents and a
specialized treatment
application for each
community element
(i.e. defined trees
within the landscape
district). Figure 5.1-2,
Landscape Plant
Palette provides a list
of the recommended
plant materials within
the Cimarron Ridge
community.

5.1.4 Landscape Design Standards
These Landscape Design Guidelines are intended to establish thematic and visual elements within the community. Careful attention has been given to set the overall character of Cimarron Ridge through a unified theme of plant materials and inert landscape materials. These Landscape Design Guidelines are provided as a resource to those involved in the design and implementation of this Specific Plan, and- illustrative in nature- are meant to be flexible and respond to changes in taste and environmental concerns over time. The following Design Standards set forth general criteria for landscaping at the community-wide level and are intended to ensure that a cohesive landscape fabric will be created to unify the overall community at all levels of development. The plant palette (Figure 5.1-2) lists the recommended species to be used in the specific areas described in the landscape design guidelines.
A. General Standards
Final landscape plans prepared for implementing projects shall either be consistent with the City’s Landscape Standards as adopted by Ordinance No. 2015-167 or with this Specific Plan.
All landscaping should utilize the approved trees, shrubs, and groundcovers listed in the plant palette in Figure 5.1-2, Landscape Plant Palette.
The planting of native and drought-tolerant species in conjunction with water-efficient and drip irrigation systems is highly encouraged throughout the Project.
Automated, high efficiency irrigation systems such as bubbler irrigation and low-angle, low-flow spay heads should be installed to reduce the amount of water devoted to landscaped areas.
The use of large or inefficient turf areas in landscaping should be reduced wherever possible by incorporating water-conserving native groundcovers, shrubs, or trees.
Plants with similar water requirements should be grouped together, a technique known as hydrozoning.
B. Streetscapes and Entry Monumentation
Landscaping along major roadways and entries should be consistent, formalized, and composed of signature plantings from the plant palette to create attractive and cohesive community identity.
Large evergreen trees and deciduous trees should be planted in a formal pattern no greater than 30 feet apart.
Informal groupings of ornamental trees, shrubs, and vines should be planted between sidewalks and walls to soften their appearance.
Flowering trees, shrubs, and ornamental grasses are encouraged at entries and key intersections to add color and interest.

Menifee Mayor and City Council April 3, 2024 Page 156 of 1410
5.0-10
C. Parks and Open Space Areas
Park areas should be landscaped with small, informal groups of trees, shrubs and groundcovers to provide shade.
D. Residential Landscape
The landscape character should vary from neighborhood to neighborhood. Each neighborhood may use its own distinguishing ornamental/flowering tree species from the plant palette in Figure 5.1-2, Landscape Plant Palette.
Residential Front Yards
Front yard landscaping is required for all homes and will be reviewed under a separate minor plot plan application.
Groundcovers, inert natural materials, and/or native grasses are encouraged in front yards to limit the amount of turf planted.
Accent shrubs that highlight the front entry are encouraged.
Walls that are visible from the street should be softened with informal shrub plantings.
Residential Front Yards At Open End of a Cul-de-sac
As shown in the picture below, in situations where there is no structure at the toe of the cul-de-sac, and the rear yard from the adjacent street is visible, the residential front yard landscaping closest to the open end of the cul-de-sac should be enhanced with a combination of mid to high shrubs and trees to screen walls and enhance the view at the end of the cul-de-sac.

5.0-11
E. Lighting
Lighting should be designed to define vehicular and pedestrian circulation patterns, distinguish community entries and activity areas, and ensure safe pedestrian movement.
Lighting fixtures should be compatible with the architectural styles of surrounding building while also being consistent throughout the community.
Lighting fixtures are required on either side of the garages and above or next to the front door.
Primary monuments that are located at major entry areas into the community should be creatively lit to provide a sense of arrival to the community.
To preserve views of the nighttime sky, lighting elements should minimize glare, spillover, and light pollution. Outdoor lighting should be directed downward.
5.1.5 Streetscapes
As described above, a unified street planting program will be used throughout the community to reinforce the landscape character and the landscape districts of Cimarron Ridge. Streetscapes throughout the community should be planted with a combination of street trees, shrubs, and groundcovers. Streetscapes are intended to create a high quality, visually pleasing experience at the pedestrian and vehicular level. In addition, streetscapes serve functional purposes, including buffering uses, noise attenuation, and screening undesirable views from public view.
As shown in Figure 3.2-3, Roadway Cross Sections, several types of streetscapes are proposed for Cimarron Ridge. A hierarchy of streetscapes is provided with distinctive landscapes.
Landscape elements include medians, parkways, and rights-of-way.
Section A – Typical Local Streets
As shown in Figure 3.2-3, Roadway Cross Sections, and in the picture below, local streets contain a 5-foot-wide landscaped parkway with a 5-foot-wide concrete sidewalk adjacent to the curb along both sides of the roadway. The homeowner will be responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the landscape parkway adjacent to the residence. Landscaping for the parkway will be selected by the builders from the approved landscape palette. Figure 5.1-2, Landscape Plant Palette provides a complete list of plant materials appropriate to the landscape parkway and landscape district.

The landscaped buffer adjacent to the property line should contain medium- to high-growing flowering shrubs to screen the wall.
The median in the center of the street should be planted with flowering accent trees evenly spaced down the center of the median and low-growing flowering groundcovers. Inert materials such as cobble, rock riprap, and decomposed granite may also be used in the medians to reduce water use, create interest, and introduce dramatic texture. Figure 5.1-2, Landscape Plant Palette provides a complete list of plant materials appropriate to the landscape parkway and landscape district.
5.1.6 Entry Monumentation
A hierarchy of entry monumentation is planned within Cimarron Ridge to create a sense of identity for the overall community and for its individual neighborhoods. It is the purpose of these entry monuments to identify the Project, reinforce the general landscape theme, establish the character of the community, and provide a prominent reminder of the quality and distinctiveness of Cimarron Ridge. The hierarchy of entry monumentation consists of primary monuments, secondary monuments, neighborhood monuments, and park monuments. Conceptual renderings and site-specific locations of the various entry monuments follow.
All entry monuments are composed of a thematic blend of built features, landscape features, signage and specialty lighting that provide strong landmarks and reinforce the distinctiveness of Cimarron Ridge. Monument signage should be designed to be compatible with the character of the community but flexible enough to respond to the individual contexts. Logos, type styles, and color schemes should be consistent throughout the Planning Area. Monument signs should vary in size and detail in a manner that reflects their relative importance within the signagehierarchy.
Primary Entry Monumentation
Primary entries provide strong landmarks that reinforce the major entries into the community, while also establishing a unique and tasteful landscape theme for Cimarron Ridge. As shown in Figure 5.1-3, Primary Entry Monumentation, primary entry monuments are located at three prominent intersections in Cimarron Ridge: Valley Boulevard and McLaughlin Road; Valley Boulevard and Goetz Road (entrance to the age-restricted Planning Areas 5 and 6); and Thornton Avenue and Valley Boulevard. Figure 5.1-3 provides conceptual illustrations of the elements and details that should be incorporated into primary monuments.
As shown in Figure 5.1-3, primary monuments are located along both sides of the street rightof-way. On the western side of the right-of-way, primary monuments will consist of an approximately 7-foot-high stone veneer pilaster with an attached low uniform stone veneer wall.

A decorative themed community identification sign is proposed within the pilaster. On the eastern side of the right-of-way, primary monuments will consist of a slightly smaller, but wider, stone veneer pilaster with a community identification sign. Formal planting materials for primary monuments should consist of flowering accent shrubs, groundcover plantings, and native grasses consistent with the landscape plant palette in Figure 5.1-2, Landscape PlantPalette.
Secondary Entry Monumentation
As shown in Figure 5.1-4, Secondary Entry Monumentation, secondary monuments are proposed for two prominent intersections within the community: at the intersection of McLaughlin Road and a planned internal roadway, and at the intersection of Goetz Road and Thornton Avenue. Figure 5.1-4 provides conceptual illustrations of the elements and details that should be incorporated into secondary monuments.
As shown in Figure 5.1-4, secondary monuments are designed to have a less dramatic impact than primary monuments but still reinforce the community thematic features. As with primary monuments, secondary monuments are located on both sides of the right-of-way. Secondary monuments will consist of an approximately 6-foot-high stone veneer pilaster with a decorative themed community identification sign and a low uniform stone veneer theme wall. Formal planting materials for secondary monuments should consist of flowering accent shrubs, groundcover plantings, and native grasses consistent with the landscape plant palette in Figure
5.1-2, Landscape Plant Palette.
Neighborhood Entry Monuments
As shown in Figure 5.1-5A and Figure 5.1B, Neighborhood Entry Monumentation neighborhood monuments are located at four points within the community. Neighborhood monuments are situated along prominent roads that provide access to individual neighborhoods. Figures 5.1-5A and 5.1-5B provide conceptual illustrations of the elements and details that should be incorporated into neighborhood monuments.
Neighborhood monuments are similar to primary and secondary monuments, but on a smaller scale. As shown in Figures
5.1-5A and 5.1-5B, two
styles of neighborhood
monumentation are
proposed. Figure 5.1-5A

As shown in Figure 5.1-5C, Gated Neighborhood Entry for Planning Areas 2, 5A & 6, gated entry monuments are located at entrances to Planning Area 2 and the adult living Planning Areas 5A and 6. Figure 5.1-5C provides conceptual illustrations of the elements and details that should be incorporated into gated entry monuments.
As shown in Figures 5.1-5C gated entry monuments are unmanned and feature a stone veneer pilaster on each side of the drive aisle with a decorative themed community identification sign. A stone veneer pilaster in the center median separates incoming and outgoing traffic. An electric gate restricts access to incoming traffic. Formal planting materials for gated neighborhood monumentation should consist of up-lighting, flowering accent shrubs, groundcover plantings, and native grasses consistent with the landscape plant palette in Figure 5.1-2, Landscape Plant Palette.
Park Monumentation
A key component of the Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan will be a 10.4-gross acre multipurpose sports park that will be accessible from White Quartz Way and will be available to the entire city, as well as to the future residents and visitors of Cimarron Ridge. Careful thought and consideration has been given to the design of the park monumentation to highlight this key feature of the community. Figure 5.1-6A Park Monumentation provides conceptual illustrations of the elements and details that should be incorporated into the primary park monumentation.
As shown in Figure 5.1-6A, the primary park monument is proposed on both sides of the driveway entrance. The western side of the entry would consist of an approximately 7-foot-high stone veneer pilaster with an attached low uniform theme wall. A decorative themed community identification sign is proposed within the pilaster and along the theme wall. The eastern side of the entry would consist of an approximately 6-foot-high stone veneer pilaster. Figure 5.1-6B, Secondary Entry Park Monumentation illustrates the elements and details that should be incorporated into the secondary entry monument to the 10.4-gross acre sports park. The secondary park entry consists of the same materials and color schemes as the primary park entry.
The secondary park entry consists of a 4-foot-high low uniform theme wall and decorative themed community identification sign. Formal planting materials for both park monuments should consist of flowering accent shrubs, groundcover plantings, and native grasses consistent with the landscape plant palette in Figure 5.1-2, Landscape Plant Palette.

5.1.7 Open Space and Recreational Land Uses
An important element of Cimarron Ridge is the provision of recreation and open spaces to enhance the quality of living for residents of the community and those around it. As illustrated in Figure 3.1-1, Conceptual Development Plan, Cimarron Ridge includes a network of community parks, pocket parks, natural open space areas, and water quality basins. Individual components of the open space system are discussed and graphically depicted on the following pages. Concept plans of the open space and recreation areas are provided to present initial designs that could be included in future design proposals.
Multipurpose Park
The central section of the site features an approximately 10.4-gross acre multipurpose sports park that is planned in Planning Area 4B. As shown in Figure 5.1-7A, Conceptual Park Layout careful thought and consideration has been given to the initial design concepts to include a range of activities such as soccer, baseball and sport fields, walking trails, dining areas, dog park, and tot lots as well as informal open space areas and recreational areas. A meandering sidewalk is also planned to connect various areas of the park. The park will be further enhanced through the integration of various landscape and hardscape elements to create a highly sought-after recreational facility. All of the buildings and structural elements will utilize the same stone and other similar materials as the monuments that are described above. These materials will be incorporated into the design elements but will not be required for an entire façade. The multipurpose park will be
accessible from White
Quartz Way and will be
available to the entire city,
as well as to the future
residents and visitors of
Cimarron Ridge.

Water Quality Basin
As shown in Figure 3.1-1, Conceptual Development Plan four water quality basins totaling
11.5 acres are planned for in Planning Areas 1A, 4A, 5A, and 6. The basins serve as detention basins during storm events and facilitate drainage across the community. Furthermore, each basin will be located along the perimeter of the community and will serve as a buffer to perimeter roadways and off-site land uses. In concert with the surrounding homes, each basin will have its own special landscape
treatment to convey unique
design and character. The
basins are not expected to
provide any active recreational
or park amenities, but they will
serve as an open space amenity
for the community. A
conceptual basin concept is
depicted in Figure 5.1-9. As
shown, the basins are
envisioned to contain a special
landscape treatment that will
reinforce the community
landscape theme and serve as
an open space amenity.
Open Space Conservation
As shown in Figure 3.1-1, Conceptual Development Plan approximately 3.1 acres in Planning Area 7B are designed as natural open space which is designated as Open Space Conservation on the Land Use Plan. This area consists of steep slopes and will serve to provide support and banking to the adjacent lots and roads and function as a view shed of the natural environment. It is important to note that while the land use category is Open Space Conservation, the designation is not intended to imply that this area serves as a habitat conservation area. Rather, for the purposes of this Specific Plan, the 3.1 acres is not counted toward developable area, and will remain in its natural habitat.

5.1.8 Walls and Fences
As shown in Figure 5.1-12, Wall Plan, and Figure 5.1-13A, Conceptual Wall and Fence Details, six types of walls and fencing are proposed for the Cimarron Ridge community. Where possible, landscaping and berms are used to separate land uses in order to create a sense of openness. Where walls and fencing are necessary, they are intended to create a sense of community space, increase privacy and security, provide noise attenuation, and act as a buffer between residences and neighborhoods.
From a visual perspective, walls and fences also reinforce the architectural styles and the landscape themes of the community. The six types of walls and fencing proposed for Cimarron Ridge are described below.
Theme Wall
As shown in Figure 5.1-12, Wall Plan, theme walls are proposed along several roadways within the community to ensure the privacy of adjacent residences. Specifically, these walls will be located along McLaughlin Road, and may be along portions of Byers Road, both sides of Valley Boulevard, both sides of Goetz Road (except for the area outside of the Project limits), and along both sides of Thornton Avenue (except for that area outside the Project limits). Theme walls are used to provide an added identity for the community. As shown in Figure 5.1-13A Conceptual Wall and Fence Details, theme walls shall consist of a 6-foot-high stone block wall set within pilasters. However, portions of Valley Boulevard and Goetz Road shall consist of an 8- foot wall per the Noise Impact Analysis prepared for the Project by Kunzman Associates (January 31, 2014). The developer may select which stone textures will be used; however, walls facing a public view should be a split face block. In all cases, the colors should be earth tone. Pilasters should occur at intervals appropriate to the wall run and at least every 100 feet along long spans. At locations where the wall changes direction, pilasters should be enhanced with a stone veneer finish and shall feature a brick cap (see Figure 5.1.13A,). At all other locations, decorative block is acceptable. Standard walls and pilasters shall feature a cap of decorative block, concrete, or stone (see Figure 5.1.13A).
Community Wall
As shown in Figure 5.1-12, Wall Plan, community walls are provided along rear yard residential property boundaries abutting the eastern and southern perimeters of the community.
Community walls may also be located at certain interfaces of residential rear yards to interior streets, open space, or parks. As shown in Figure 5.1-13A, Conceptual Wall and Fence Details, community walls shall consist of a 6-foot-high block wall set within pilasters. In instances where the wall faces a public view, it should be a split face block. Pilasters should occur at all property line changes, with intervals appropriate to the wall run and at least every 150 feet along long spans. Pilasters may be constructed of split face block. The walls and pilasters shall feature a cap of decorative block, concrete, or stone.

Menifee Mayor and City Council April 3, 2024 Page 189 of 1410
5.0-43
Combination Fence and Wall
As shown in Figure 5.1-12, Wall Plan, a combination wall and fence is proposed in certain instances where a residential neighborhood abuts an open space area, where views of open spaces and hilly terrain are afforded.
As shown in Figure 5.1-13A, Conceptual Wall and Fence Details the combination wall should be composed of a block wall foundation with vertical portions of tubular steel panels. Pilasters may be constructed of decorative block. Pilasters should occur at all property line changes, with intervals appropriate to the wall run and at least every 100 feet along long spans. The combination wall is intended to be used where partial privacy is needed, but views add to the aesthetic value.
Open View Fence
The design intent of open view fences are to provide security while allowing visual permeability.
Open view fences are not shown on Figure 5.1-12, but they could be located in areas where view opportunities exist and where the visual protection from common areas is ensured. As shown in Figure 5.1-13A, the view fence would be constructed of tubular steel panels or other appropriate materials and shall meet the minimum height requirements.
Trail Fence
The design intent of trail fencing is to highlight trail amenities in Cimarron Ridge (see Figure 3.2- 4, Non-Vehicular Circulation Plan). Trail fences are not shown on Figure 5.1-12, but at the city’s discretion, they may be located alongside the 10-foot-wide multipurpose trail along Valley Boulevard and Goetz Road and alongside walking trails within the 10.4-gross acre sports park.
As shown in Figure 5.1-13A, the trail fence would consist of a two-rail vinyl fence.
Neighborhood Fence
The intent of neighborhood fences are to provide privacy and sense of ownership. Neighborhood fences and walls should be designed as an integral component and extension of the building design, and surrounding landscape of that neighborhood. Two types of neighborhood fences are applicable for Cimarron Ridge: return walls and interior side/rear yard fences.
Return Walls. Return walls are walls that face the public right-of-way, and that are visible from the street. A return wall is best set back from the front property line and should be constructed of materials, colors, and textures that are similar and harmonious with the architecture of the respective dwelling. Return walls are shown in Figure 5.1-13B and shall be constructed of split face block.

Interior side/rear yard fences. Interior side yard/rear yard fences are located along the side and rear property lines and are not visible from the street. These interior fences should be constructed of durable materials such as vinyl or block wall. Gates should be constructed of tubular steel or vinyl. In all cases, neighborhood fences should be constructed of materials, colors, and textures that are similar and harmonious with the architecture of the respective dwelling.
Interior side/rear yard fences are shown in Figure 5.1- 13B.

5.2 ARCHITECTURAL
DESIGN GUIDELINES
5.2.1 Purpose
The purpose of the Architectural Design Guidelines is to promote product quality and community diversity by encouraging builders to expand and explore the range of detailing within the selected architectural styles without sacrificing quality control over the design process.
In all cases, this philosophy is intended to capture a historic context or period of architecture, yet keep in mind the constraints put on production home-building.
Seven separate and distinct architectural styles have been selected for the palette in Cimarron Ridge. Each style is presented on the following pages in the form of a photo collage and a brief description of the main elements that delineate each style. Accordingly, these Architectural Design Guidelines are provided as a resource to those involved in the design and implementation of this Specific Plan, are illustrative in nature, and are meant to be flexible to respond to the changes in taste over time. Most importantly, the images presented in this document are meant to spur builders and their architects to take pride in the quality of their architecture.
These Architectural Design Guidelines are consistent with the Riverside County - Countywide Design Standards and Guidelines unless otherwise specified. Where these Architectural Design Guidelines are silent, future development projects shall comply with applicable provisions of the Countywide Design Standards and Guidelines.
5.2.2 Architectural Styles
The structures in Cimarron Ridge shall be rich, traditional styles, which complement the region in which the site is located and reinforce the diversity of the street scene. As described throughout this Specific Plan, permitting a variety of architectural styles is pivotal to creating a high-quality community. Cimarron Ridge features seven architectural styles that adhere to the overall community theme of a traditional neighborhood lifestyle supported by various housing types that are within easy walking distance to recreational amenities. In developing the architectural character for the community, the following approved styles may be used:
Tuscan
Andalusian
Provence
Spanish
Cottage
Villa
Monterey

All seven architectural styles are acceptable for single-family detached housing developments.
However, the list is not meant to be an exclusive list of architectural styles. The Community Development Director may approve other acceptable and compatible styles as described in Chapter 6.1 Administration and Implementation Plan.
The above list of compatible architectural styles, discussed below, is intended to provide a wide range of architectural variation, appealing to variety of potential homebuyers and creating visually interesting street scenes. Each architectural style can be applied to the four different lot sizes proposed for Cimarron Ridge (i.e., 5,000, 5,500, 6,500, and 10,000 square feet).
The seven architectural styles are discussed below.
Tuscan
Tuscan architecture recreates the Italian hilltown experience. Villas, built on ridge lines high above the sea, meander seamlessly between indoors and outside. Fully integrated designs, inspired by authentic historic forms, create compositions that emphasize the home as a retreat and sanctuary. The careful orchestration of details conveys simple elegance. Earthen tones and texture define Tuscan architecture. Wood, stone and brick combine to create a warm palette that responds to natural light. Tuscan architecture presents an image of simple grandeur. Vast stones and noble square forms; deep, heavy, projecting cornices; varied terracotta tile roofs; narrow arches; and bright stucco all combine to create structures that neither time nor weather could destroy. As shown in Table 5.2-A and Figure 5.2-1, below, elements common to the Tuscan style include:

Andalusian
Andalusian style is the country adaptation of the southern region of Spain. These homes were built by the custodians of large vineyards. Andalusia has long been a getaway for Spanish nobility, but it remains native land to families who have cultivated the area for generations. As a result, rustic homes and graceful villas are interspersed throughout this charming area. Andalusian style is organic in nature, reflecting the region's agrarian roots. Warmth is expressed through widespread use of natural materials such as wood, brick, and stucco. Rich textures in the wall treatments enhance this glow. The Andalusian houses have been added onto over the centuries so most of them have concrete-tiled roof lines of varying heights and go in diverse directions.
Ironwork, shutters, and accenting vine-covered walls also express Andalusian style. Look for mottled, uneven colors, and old-world, time-worn finishes in warm golden tones. As shown in Table 5.2-B and Figure 5.2-2, below, elements common to the Andalusian style include:

Provence
Inspired by its namesake region, full of roman hill towns in central France, this style speaks to simple forms and lifestyles assembled with earthborn materials. The overall impression of these hill town assemblages spilling down sparsely wooded foothills is key to understanding their organic roots. Light stone and stucco walls are capped by barrel tile roofs with signature “genuoa” eaves—tiles used to terminate the roof into the walls. Timber structure and hearty, accentpainted shutters, and the use of board & batten siding round out the popular renovationist style.
As shown in Table 5.2- C and Figure 5.2-3, below, elements common to the Provence style include:

Spanish
Inspired by architecture from the coastal regions of Spain where intense sunlight bathes everything and from the low-slung haciendas of the plains, the Spanish style emerged as a response to a wonderful climate. Long rectangular and cruciform massings intersect and pinwheel quadrantally out from a high, offset center. The style features long verandas, lowpitched red tile roofs, little or no overhanging eaves, and stucco siding and arches, especially above doors, porch entries, and main windows. Other defining characteristics include an asymmetrical shape with cross gables and side wings, spiral columns and pilasters, courtyards, carve stonework or cat ornaments and patterned tile accents. As shown in Table 5.2-D and Figure 5.2-4, below, elements common to the Spanish style include:

Cottage
The term “Cottage” covers a broad range of stylistic ideals which includes Cape Cod, Bungalow, and European Romantic styles such as French, English, and Italian interpretations. The common thread tends to be the impression of a small, informal residence constructed of humble materials.
The use of indigenous resources such as stone and heavy timber, clad in wood or plaster, all finished in weathered sienna tones, ground the style’s unassuming presence. High- or lowpitched roofs with flat tiles, tall narrow window openings, and extensive use of shutters complete the style’s charm. The windows are occasionally rounded at the top with shutters echoing their shape. While the use of porches is common, they are not required to complete the composition.
As shown in Table 5.2-E and Figure 5.2-5, below, elements common to the Cottage style include:

Villa
This style pays homage to larger, more formal styles found throughout Italy that were occupied by the region’s elite. Palladian architectural principles dominate while placing emphasis on symmetry, proportion, and orderly arrangements of columns, pilasters, and lintels, as well as the use of semicircular arches, which can dominate the building profile. Key visual components of this style include low-pitched, frequently hipped roofs, large projecting eaves supported by corbels, imposing cornice structures, tall first floor windows, and angled bay windows. As shown in Table 5.2-F and Figure 5.2-6, below, elements common to the Villa style include:

Monterey
In the early part of the eighteenth century, Californians sought to define an indigenous style of architecture by fusing local Spanish influences with Colonial designs from the east coast. Their search eventually led to the emergence of the Monterey style. This style was developed in Monterey, California, and can be traced back to as early as the mid-nineteenth century. A modified version of this style was revived from about 1920 to 1960, combining Spanish Colonial architecture with some elements of early New England colonial architecture. This Monterey Revival represents one of California's few native architectural styles. As shown in Table 5.2-G and Figure 5.2-7, below, elements common to the Monterey style include:

5.2.3 Architectural Elements
This section discusses general attributes that are common to each of the seven architectural styles, yet it is the way that they are adapted and modified to suit a particular style that creates a richness of diversity in a master-planned community. Variety in residential housing types and building forms provides diversity and visual interest to the neighborhood street scene. Building massing, scale, and proportions of the elements such as roofs, walls, windows, doors, etc., lend balance and style. Below are requirements intended to achieve this balance.
A. Massing and Scale
Building mass and scale are two of the primary design components used to establish appealing communities and personable neighborhoods. Controlling the mass of the building through design articulation of the building facades, rooflines, and vertical and horizontal planes effectively reduces the visual mass of a building. Mass and scale are important design considerations during the development of street-friendly and pedestrian-scale architecture. Attention to front yard setbacks, building types, and architectural styles helps provide variation in the mass and scale of buildings. The following massing and scale criteria are intended to develop variation in appearance and sense of individuality for each home.
The size and scale of the building should be proportionate to the size of the lot and the building’s setting.
Combinations of one- and two-story forms are encouraged where feasible.
Roof lines should be varied where appropriate from building to building in terms of massing, color, and roof selection.
Homes designed with entries, windows, front porches, and living areas placed near the street, with garages set back greater than the front yard living area, are encouraged.
The addition of balconies or porches is encouraged to improve the scale and massing of two-story single-family homes.
Details, such as porches, doorways and windows, should be in proportion to the overall massing of the building.
B. Materials
The use of building materials and colors plays a key role in developing community character and ambiance. The character and personality of a neighborhood is significantly affected by the composition of the materials and colors of the homes within it. Consideration must be given to selecting a variety of complementary color and material palettes along any given street. The selected architectural styles for Cimarron Ridge allow for a variety of colors and materials.
Specifically, building materials within Cimarron Ridge should conform to the following requirements:

Roof
Clay, concrete, or an approved composite (appropriate in thickness and appearance) roof tile. Flat, one piece “S” or traditional barrel shapes.
Exterior Walls
Stucco.
Stone, brick and wood siding as wall materials or accent.
Doors
Stained or painted. Authentic styles to structure.
Windows
Vinyl or aluminum.
Accent Materials
Masonry Trim: Pre-cast stone, smooth cut stone, and brick used as a base. To be used at entrances and prominent corners depending on the architectural theme.
Wood Trim: Painted at walls, gates, doors, windows, eaves, balconies, out lookers and pickets. Significant in scale (i.e., 3x material and appropriate to building character).
Ironwork: Ornamental metalwork at gates, window grilles, balcony rails and fencing where appropriate. Significant in scale and shape while detailed authentically.
Foam pop-outs and accent materials.
C. Colors
Building colors are an important element when used to achieve a true representation of a specific architectural style. Colors should be authentic as possible when compared to the traditional color palette of a selected style. Consideration may also be given to colors available in the contemporary market that are complementary to the overall community theme and the individual structure’s specific architectural style.
Specifically, color materials within Cimarron Ridge should conform to the following requirements:
Roof and Materials
Natural colors to emulate the appropriate historic-authentic style (i.e., concrete).
Walls
Deep to light value “earth” and natural toned colors.
Accents
Traditional and historical colors that complement the palette of main house.

D. Porches and Balconies
The incorporation of front porches is not required but is encouraged. Front and rear balconies are also encouraged for both aesthetic and practical reasons. Porches and balconies integrate indoor and outdoor living spaces, allow for elevated garden locations that provide light and air to the interior, and provide shelter. Porches and balconies break up large wall masses and reduce the scale of the house at the street and sidewalk edge. Along ambiance streets, front porches add an element of personal scale and ambiance, where neighbors can socialize with one another.
Porches and balconies in Cimarron Ridge should conform to the following standards:
The use of front porches with a usable width of at least 5 to 6 feet is encouraged along residential streets.
A porch railing should be included in some instances to define the space and add architectural detail to the porch and front elevation of the house; however, a railing is only needed with certain architectural styles.
E. Garages
To achieve an attractive street scene, particular attention should be given to the design, placement, and orientation of garages in all residential neighborhoods. While maintaining an awareness of the contemporary market and the targeted market segment, an effort should be given to minimize the impact of the garage on the residential neighborhood. Depending upon lot size, this can be accomplished through a variety of methods including:
Side loaded or swing-in loaded garage orientations.
Garage setbacks greater than the front yard living area setback.
Tandem garages.
Garage door design considerations that include recessed doors, creative panel designs, windows and color.
Where provided, garage door windows should correspond to the window forms of the house.
Figure 5.2-8 is a compilation and sampling of images that take advantage of a reduced setback to the living area while maintaining a 20-foot garage face setback. As shown in the images below, the reduced setback to the architecture allows the architecture to come forward while the garage is recessed. This accentuates the architecture and reduces the impact of the garage face to the street scene. This is a vital element of the Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan Street scene and will set the tone for the massing and design of the community.

F. Rear and Side Articulation/Façade Treatment
The design consideration and treatment of the rear and side facades of residential buildings, particularly those facing onto spaces visible to the public, has become recognized as an important element in the success of a community’s visual character and environment. Where such conditions occur, the builder should enhance the rear and side facades of homes backing onto publicly visible areas to improve the community appearance. Enhancement considerations include:
Foam window trim or shutters where not publicly visible.
Rear balconies or porches.
Other design details and amenities, as appropriate to the architectural style.
G. Floor Plans and Elevations
Each Planning Area shall be required to have a minimum number of different floor plans, different front elevations, and different rear elevations, with different color schemes as identified below:
Planning Areas with 50 to 99 units: There shall be 3 floor plans and 3 elevations.
Planning Areas with 100 or more units: There shall be 4 floor plans and 4 elevations.
There shall be 3 different color schemes per elevation.
Reverse floor plans should be included where possible to add variety to the street scene.
H. Single Story Elements
The introduction of single-story elements is encouraged in Planning Area 2 to add variety to the street scene and help establish pedestrian scale. Where appropriate to the architectural style, single-story elements should include:
Porch.
Porte-cochere.
Pop-out gable element (enclosed or open).

Specific Plan Substantial Conformance
A Substantial Conformance application may be approved by the Community Development Director with input from relevant departments. Substantial conformance allows for the administrative approval and interpretation of minor modifications to the Specific Plan text, graphics, and/or project design that do not change the meaning or intent of the Specific Plan.
Through the review and approval process, a project may be found in substantial conformance with the provisions of this Specific Plan and may be approved, conditionally approved, or denied by the Community Development Director under the circumstances listed below. The Community Development Director shall also have the discretion to refer any such request for substantial conformance to the Planning Commission for interpretation and action:
Simple edits or clarifications to text, graphics or figures that do not change the meaning or intent of the Specific Plan.
Revisions in the configuration, orientation, and size of building footprints, parking areas, recreational amenities, drainage areas, and landscape areas.
Shifts in internal road alignments, widths, streetscape amenities, and access points that would not substantially alter the land use or circulation system set forth in this Specific Plan.
Changes to the locations and sizes of infrastructure systems, including drainage, grading, water, and wastewater plans that would not substantially alter the plans set forth in this Specific Plan, provided the changes can be supported by technical studies reviewed and approved by the city.
Modifications of design elements such as paving treatment, colors, architectural details, signs, landscaping, fencing, lighting, and entry treatments as long as the Community Development Director finds the change to be compatible with previous developments/approvals.
Changes to the Phasing Plan provided that the Community Development Director determines that infrastructure is available and constructed to serve that phase and that any mitigation measures linked to that phase, location, or level of development are implemented.
A new type of land use that is not specifically discussed in this Specific Plan but that is similar in character and intensity to those listed in the Specific Plan.
Shifts in the number of dwelling units between Planning Areas that do not increase the overall number of dwelling units or increase the density above 5.0 dwelling units an acre for any individual Planning Area.
6.1.4 Implementation and Approval Process
Approval of the Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan indicates acceptance by the City of Menifee City Council of a general framework of development for the approximately 240-acre Project site. Part Item Title: 10.4
Second Reading and Adoption of the Ordinances for the Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan and Development Agreement Amendments
Menifee Mayor and City Council April 3, 2024 Page 220 of 1410
6.0-5
of that framework establishes specific development standards that constitute the zoning regulations for the Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan. It is further anticipated that this Specific Plan will be implemented through a series of final tract maps, and site plans which shall be reviewed and approved by the Planning Department/Community Development Director and the appropriate hearing body to ensure consistency with this Specific Plan.
Pre-Application Conference
A pre-application conference with the Community Development Director or their designee should be held before an application for a proposed project in the Specific Plan can be filed and accepted for processing. Representatives from the various City departments may be invited to attend the conference to provide input at the discretion of the Community Development Director.
Multiple meetings may require the submittal of a deposit to cover staff time.
Subdivision Maps and Final Maps
Subdivision maps are employed to implement a specific plan by subdividing land into smaller parcels. The City of Menifee adopted Riverside County Ordinance No. 460, which includes a comprehensive list of required information for subdivision maps.
The subdivision map process for Cimarron Ridge may involve the preparation of a Tentative Parcel Map (TPM) and a Tentative Tract Map (TTM). The intent of the TPM is for financing and land conveyance purposes only; no infrastructure improvements, building and/or grading permits shall be issued for lots within the TPM. The individual planning areas will require a TTM showing each planning area, internal lots, and street layout. The TTM may be prepared by the developer and/or the builder. In the absence of a specific builder, the master developer may choose to prepare the site plan and TTM to accommodate a specific size of homesite. Additionally, the owner may choose to file a conveyance or financing map and receive tentative map approval and record a final conveyance map.
During the site plan and TTM stage of the development process, the final number of dwelling units for a particular Planning Area may differ from those identified in the Specific Plan, so long as the density falls within the range specified by the land use designation. Furthermore, an individual site plan or TTM may fall outside of the specified density range, so long as the total density for a particular Planning Area falls within the range specified by the land use designation.
However, the overall number of dwelling units may not increase and the density for an individual planning area may not exceed 5.0 dwelling units an acre.
After a subdivision map or a site plan receives its tentative approval, the applicant is given a period of time to provide the final improvement plans for streets, utilities, grading, landscaping and all final conditions of approval prior to commencing construction.

Administrative Review and Plot Plans
Applications that comply with the provisions of the Specific Plan and do not require the approval of a public use permit or conditional use permit may be approved or conditionally approved by the Community Development Director through approval of a plot plan. For the purposes of this Specific Plan, all of the “Principal Permitted Uses” and “Accessory Permitted Uses” identified in Chapter 4.0, Development Standards are considered permitted uses that would require the approval of a plot plan.
Plot plans are similar to subdivision maps, in that a plot plan also implements a specific plan; however, a plot plan provides a detailed description of how each parcel will be developed. During the plot plan review, the Community Development Director, or his or her designee, shall review applications for compliance with the development standards listed in Chapter 4.0 of this Specific Plan. Applications that comply with the provisions of the Specific Plan and do not require the approval of a public use or conditional use permit may be approved or conditionally approved by the Community Development Director through approval of a plot plan. The plot plan process shall be the same as that outlined in Section 18.30 of the Zoning Code.
The following additional applications may not be identified as “Principal Permitted Uses” or “Accessory Permitted Uses” in Chapter 4.0, Development Standards, but they are considered ancillary to the inherent land uses. The following applications may be submitted in conjunction with the plot plan application, and may be approved or conditionally approved by the Community Development Director through approval of said plot plan:
Park design and architecture.
Landscape plans and selected landscape materials for all open space areas.
Entry monumentation.
Private property landscape plans and selected landscape materials.
Public Use Permits
Uses requiring the approval of a public use permit shall be the same as those listed in Section
18.29 of the Zoning Code. In addition, uses requiring a public use permit shall be subject to the filing, required findings, notification, hearing and appeal procedures identified in Section 18.29 of the Zoning Code. There are no uses currently proposed in the Specific Plan that would require a public use permit.
Conditional Use Permits
Conditional use permits allow the city to consider special uses that are not allowed as a matter of right within a zoning district, thereby providing flexibility within a Zoning Ordinance.

Consideration of a conditional use permit is a discretionary action. Uses requiring a conditional use permit shall be the same as those listed in Section 18.28 of the Zoning Code. In addition, uses requiring a conditional use permit shall be subject to the filing, required findings, notification, hearing and appeal procedures identified in Section 18.28. There are no uses currently proposed in the Specific Plan that would require a conditional use permit.
Architectural Review
The Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan provides builders and developers with flexibility with respect to architectural styles and being able to incorporate a wide range of complementary building designs and architectural styles. To ensure the creation of a high-quality development that exhibits cohesive community character and complementary building design, all applications for a plot plan, public use permit, or conditional use permit shall be subject to the architectural review process.
An application for architectural review shall be filed with the Planning Division in a manner prescribed by the Community Development Director, including, but not limited to, plans, elevations, and materials and color boards. The Community Development Director or designee will review all development applications and ensure the proposed Project meets the intent of the development standards and design guidelines.
The decision of the Community Development Director or designee shall be final and effective 14 days after a written determination has been made unless, within said time, a written appeal to the Planning Commission is filed by the applicant, property owners subject to the architectural review, or by any member of the City Council or Planning Commission. Appeals shall be undertaken in compliance with the procedures outlined in the Zoning Code.
All applications for a plot plan, conditional use permit, or public use permit shall be required to have a minimum number of different floor plans, different front elevations, and different rear elevations for each Planning Area as identified below:
Planning Areas with 50 to 99 units: There shall be 3 floor plans and 3 elevations.
Planning Areas with 100 or more units: There shall be 4 floor plans and 4 elevations.
There shall be 3 different color schemes per elevation.
Reverse floor plans should be included where possible to add variety to the street scene.
The Community Development Director may refer any item to the Planning Commission at their discretion.

6.2 FINANCING PLAN
6.2.1 Introduction
Various techniques are available for financing the required improvements for the Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan. A detailed financing plan should be prepared in order to successfully implement the improvements and programs proposed by the Specific Plan. Along with establishing specific goals and policies, the financing plan should analyze a series of methods to finance infrastructure and other improvements, recommend preferred alternatives, and develop a process for enacting financing methods.
The appropriate mechanism for each particular improvement shall be tied to the phasing, established conditions of approval, and site plan/design review approval. The following is a summary of possible methods that could be used to finance Specific Plan improvements. There may be other sources available to finance improvement projects, such as government grants, or various types of bonds not listed below.
6.2.2 Financing Plan
The developer, or guest builder, shall be responsible for financing construction of the infrastructure improvements required to support the Project, such as perimeter and internal streets, water lines, sewers, and storm drains. All necessary infrastructure improvements shall be developed in conjunction with the approved phasing plan. The financing of construction, operation, and maintenance of public improvements and facilities will include funding through a combination of financing mechanisms. However, the developer or builder shall be ultimately responsible for all fair share costs associated with implementing the Project, including but not limited to the costs of providing infrastructure and complying with mitigation measures, conditions of approval, and other requirements of the Project.
Financing may involve a combination of impact fees and exacting, special assessment districts, landscaping and lighting districts, and other mechanisms agreed to by the developer and the city as noted below. Developer- or builder-funded improvements may be subject to a reimbursement agreement or credits against fees pursuant to provisions of a development agreement or conditions of approval. The city and developer or builder will cooperate to ensure that the public facilities are built in accordance with all requirements of the Specific Plan and EIR. A development agreement and conditions of approval may be used to facilitate this process.
6.2.3 Developer Funding
In many cases, certain on-site facilities are tied directly to individual projects. In these cases, it is reasonable to expect the developer, guest builder, or property owner to pay the entire cost of the facility in order to secure development rights. On-site local streets, utility connections from main trunk lines, and drainage facilities are good examples of facilities that are normally required concurrent with development of an individual parcel funded by the developer or guest builder.

Menifee Mayor and City Council April 3, 2024 Page 224 of 1410
6.0-9
6.2.4 Special Assessment Districts
A special assessment district is a type of benefit district that requires a vote by the property owners to encompass a defined and limited geographic area. The city or other agencies may form a special assessment district under one of several different statutory acts to construct public improvements such as streets, storm drains, sidewalks, streetlights, sewers, parks, and other similar capital facilities. The special assessment districts can issue bonds to finance those improvements and levy a special assessment to pay debt service on those bonds.
A special assessment district may fund improvements within the entire Specific Plan area or smaller areas in the Specific Plan where special improvements are constructed that directly benefit only certain property owners. Special assessment districts may only be used to pay for projects that are of specific and direct benefit to the property owner being assessed. The amount of the assessment must directly relate to the amount of benefit received by the property owner.
6.2.5 Landscaping and Lighting Districts
Landscaping and lighting districts (LLD) may be used for maintenance and servicing of landscaping and lighting through annual assessments on benefiting properties. LLDs may also provide for maintenance of appurtenant features, including curbs, gutters, walls, sidewalks or paving, and irrigation or drainage facilities.
6.2.6 Community Facilities Districts and Mello-Roos
The Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 allows the creation of special districts authorized to levy a special tax and issue tax exempt bonds to finance public facilities and services. A community facilities district may be initiated by the legislative body or by property owner petition and must be approved by a 2/3 majority of property owners or registered voters (if there are more than 12 registered voters living in the area). Because there is no requirement to show special benefit, Mello-Roos levies may be used to fund improvements of general benefit, such as fire and police facilities, libraries, and parks, as well as improvements that benefit specific properties. The provision also allows the reallocation of cost burdens to alleviate untenable burdens on specific properties.
6.2.7 Other Funding Sources
Other sources may be available to finance improvement projects, such as government grants, private developer coalitions, or various types of bonds not listed above.

6.3 MAINTENANCE PLAN
6.3.1 Introduction
Maintenance of open space areas, recreational facilities, and major roadway landscaping, among other areas, is of utmost importance to the performance and appearance of Cimarron Ridge.
Therefore, a comprehensive maintenance plan will be established for standards as well as guidance for the upkeep and governance of public common areas within the Specific Plan.
6.3.2 Apportionment of Costs for Maintenance of Common Areas In order to ensure timely commencement and sufficient funding for maintenance of public facilities and common areas, the Specific Plan will annex into an existing maintenance organization, or into an active management organization such as a community-wide maintenance district or a neighborhood homeowners association (HOA). This maintenance district will be empowered to apportion costs for shared public facilities and common area maintenance within the Specific Plan and/or respective phase of the Specific Plan.
Further, prior to final map approval, the developer will provide a master maintenance authority with enumerated responsibilities.
6.3.3 Master Area Maintenance
Common areas such as pocket parks, neighborhood parks, water quality basins, open space areas and landscaped areas are identified in the Specific Plan as being available for the benefit of all residents of the Specific Plan area and to the public. Such common areas shall be maintained either by a public/private entity such as a landscaping and lighting district, or by an association which includes as its participating owners all property within the Specific Plan, and the responsible agency shall assume maintenance responsibility for such area. The publicly accessible 10.4-gross acre sports park shall be maintained by a public agency or public maintenance organization and not an HOA.
6.3.4 Specific Facilities Maintenance
In residential areas of the Project, smaller associations may be formed to assume ownership and maintenance responsibility for common areas and facilities that benefit only the residents in those areas. Private open space areas and private roadways are examples of facilities that could come under the jurisdiction of a neighborhood HOA.
6.3.5 Project Roadways and Roadway Landscaping
The site is currently within the boundaries of the Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District 89-1C (L&LMD 89-1) and County Service Area (CSA) 145. However, the Project will detach from L&LMD 89-1C and may annex into a new citywide maintenance community facilities district CFD in lieu of the L&LMD to provide maintenance services to certain approved public improvements.

All public Project roadways will be designed and constructed to standards stated in this Specific Plan and will, therefore, be entered into the city system of roads for operation and maintenance as approved by the City Council. Any private roads or accesses will be maintained by an association or other public/private entity, as described above.
Roadway landscaping within the right-of-way (such as the enhanced parkways), landscaping within the raised medians, and any hardscaping outside of any roadway right-of-way shall be maintained by a public/private entity or other master association.
6.3.6 Private Area Maintenance
Front yard areas that are open to the street shall be maintained by the homeowner.

• Policy CD-1.3: Strengthen the identity of individual
neighborhoods/communities with entry monuments, flags, street signs, and/or special tree streets, landscaping, and lighting.

Section 4: The DA will not create conditions materially detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare within the City.
The DA will not result in conditions detrimental to public health, safety, or general welfare.

Conditions of approval include requiring park and other amenities to support the proposed residential component, roadway improvements consistent with the General Plan that will benefit the project site and surrounding areas.

Section 5: Orderly Development. The DA would not adversely affect the orderly development of property and surrounding area, or the preservation of property values.
The proposed DA would assist with and would not interfere with the Specific Plan and implementing maps/land use entitlements. The timing of infrastructure, including parks, was carefully considered and coordinated consistent with the original DA. Therefore, the DA would not adversely affect the orderly development of the surrounding area. The proposed DA would not alter the land uses as proposed in the Specific Plan. The proposed DA would not conflict with surrounding existing and planned land uses and would not have the potential to adversely affect property values. The proposed DA would assist with the implementation of the Specific Plan, which includes improvements to surrounding roads and the construction of parks. The improvements associated with the Specific Plan implementation are anticipated to enhance and improve the surrounding area and not adversely affect property values.
Section 6: Encourage Development. The DA would promote and encourage the development of the proposed project by providing a greater degree of requisite certainty.

The DA includes a MJMOD to a previously approved subdivision as described in the staff report. The changes are consistent with the Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan and supported by the General Plan.
Section 8: California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Compliance.

The City has prepared this Addendum to the Cimarron Ridge Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to analyze the potential impacts associated with the proposed Project and satisfy the requirements of CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, Addendum to an EIR or Negative Declaration.
The analysis presented in the Addendum substantiates that the Final EIR (FEIR) for the Specific Plan is sufficient to satisfy CEQA requirements for the approval of the proposed Project.

SUBJECT: Gale Webb Action Sports Park Restrooms Project MEETING DATE: April 3, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Jenny McConville, Management Analyst
REVIEWED BY: Nick Fidler, Public Works Director
APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Approve the purchase of a prefabricated restroom building from CXT, Inc. in the amount of $91,801 for the Gale Webb Action Sports Park Restrooms Project, Capital Improvement Program No. 24-09; and
2. Approve and authorize this purchase utilizing the Sourcewell Cooperative Purchase Contract No. 081721-CXT pursuant to Menifee Municipal Code Section 3.12.070(6); and
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the required documents and the Finance Department to issue the corresponding purchase orders.
DISCUSSION
The City’s Community Services Department evaluates the needs at all City parks and makes project recommendations in coordination with the Capital Improvement Program (“CIP”).
Currently, the Gale Webb Action Sports Park does not have permanent restroom facilities. In evaluating Gale Webb Action Sports Park, considerations included the availability of space to place a free-standing restroom building and the need to accommodate for increased usage of park amenities. The Gale Webb Action Sports Park Restrooms project, CIP No. 24-09 (“Project”) is identified as a priority one project in the current CIP and would consist of installing a prefabricated restroom building.
Due to the absence of a sewer main system nearby, staff and the design Consultant, Kimley-Horn (“Consultant”), reviewed options to extend a sewer main along Garbani Road. Three options to extend a sewer main were presented as follows:
1. Extend sewer main from an existing manhole located 820 feet to the east of the Project site. This option would result in a shallow sewer main system with a cover less than 4 feet Item Title: 10.5 Gale Webb Action Sports Park Restrooms Project Item Page Number: 1
