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 20, 2024, the City of Menifee and the City of Perris entered into a Professional Services Agreement (Agreement) with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. to prepare a Master Circulation Plan Study (Study). This Study aims to design a roadway network that meets the circulation needs of all residents, employees, and visitors to the City of Menifee (Geneal 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 would facilitate the development of a circulation plan for the entirety of the EDC- NG, covering approximately 401 acres. Upon full build-out, 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 has required additional time. To accommodate this, Amendment No.1 was administratively approved on January 2, 2025, extending the term of services through
