RECOMMENDED ACTION
1.

DISCUSSION
The City of Menifee is currently processing multiple land use development applications for the proposed industrial development within the Economic Development Corridor – Northern Gateway (“EDC-NG”), west of the I-215. On March 27, 2024, the City of Menifee and the City of Perris entered into a Professional Services Agreement (“Agreement”) to prepare a Master Circulation Plan Study (“Study”). This Study aims to design a roadway network that meets the circulation needs of residents, employees, and visitors to the City of Menifee (General Plan Goal C-1), and to promote development patterns that unify neighborhoods and work with neighboring jurisdictions to provide compatible roadway linkages at the City limits (General Plan Policy C-1.4) The traffic study will facilitate the development of a circulation plan for the entirety of the EDC- NG, covering approximately 401 acres. Upon full buildout, the site has a potential to accommodate roughly 7.64 million square feet of industrial development. Additionally, there is also a potential truck corridor located north of the Southern California Edison (SCE) transmission corridor, bordering the SCE right-of-way between Wheat Street and Barnett Road.
The completion of the Study by Kimley-Horn has required additional time; to accommodate this, Amendment No. 1 was approved administratively on January 2, 2025, extending the term of services through February 28, 2025. A draft of the Study is under staff review and additional time beyond the current extended term is needed to finalize the components of the Study. The
