MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR
Wow, Fiscal Year 2023/2024 was another busy and accomplished year for the City of Menifee's Community Development Department (CDD)! We are excited to provide a snapshot of the permit and program activity demonstrating our robust efforts over the past year to both manage growth and facilitate investment. The CDD is responsible for ensuring new construction is consistent with local and state regulations, and takes the lead in plan review and permitting, as well as the implementation of grant programs that assist our residents.
Over the past year, we celebrated many milestones. The most significant was in October 2023, as the City celebrated its 15th birthday with all 110,034 of our residents (U.S. Department of Finance 2023).
Our Planning Division oversaw the approval of the Menifee Valley Specific Plan, a multi-year master planned development that will provide over 1,700 homes, a community park, fire station, and industrial and commercial uses in the northeast area of the City.
The Building Division facilitated the completion of several commercial projects and welcomed new businesses such as Ike's Love and Sandwiches, Daiso, Popeye's, Chick-Fil-A and Lady M Bistro.
The Housing and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) staff Cheryl Kitzerow, AICP
approved and funded three loans in the 1st Time Homebuyer Program, Community Development Director allowing three families to experience owning their first home.
In conjunction with the City's annual theme "City of Innovation: Building for the Future", the City kicked off the creation of the Menifee Innovation District Specific Plan located south of Scott Road adjacent to Interstate-215.
The Innovation District will aim to diversify the City's local economy while addressing job creation for the region.
And those are just a few highlights. Enjoy more details in the report and remember the CDD works diligently to ensure balanced and well-designed new developments. We continue to strive to meet the needs of residents, businesses, visitors, and developers alike to ensure that together we are creating a HEALTHY, VIBRANT, and CONNECTED COMMUNITY for everyone.
