CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Strategic Plan Update
MEETING DATE: July 16, 2025
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Jennifer Jackson, Sr. Management Analyst
REVIEWED BY: Rebekah Kramer, Deputy City Manager
APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Adopt the City of Menifee’s updated 2023-2028 Strategic Plan; and

2. Receive and file an update on the implementation of the Strategic Plan for the period extending from January 1 to June 30, 2025.

DISCUSSION
The City’s five-year Strategic Plan establishes the City’s vision for the future and sets a roadmap for meeting current and future needs. The 2023-2028 Strategic Plan (Plan) was adopted during the City Council meeting on March 1, 2023. This Plan includes the following five overarching Strategic Priorities:

1.Connectivity and Mobility – Enhance accessibility and link the community with sustainable infrastructure to meet the City’s needs.

2.Unique Identity - Engage in thoughtful and collaborative planning with stakeholders to develop a distinct sense of place that leverages the community's historic and scenic assets and makes the City a highly attractive and desired destination for residents, businesses, and visitors.

3.Community Engagement and Social Infrastructure – Create opportunities to bring people together and enhance communication to amplify accessibility, increase awareness, and proactively deliver information to maintain quality of life and build a strong community.

4.Thriving Economy – Encourage intentional smart growth and support the City’s business community so that residents have access to businesses, housing, employment, and well-paying jobs.

5.Safe and Vibrant Community – Provide exceptional public safety and maintain the City's attractive look and feel so that Menifee is one of the safest cities where residents and visitors are secure in their neighborhoods and surrounding spaces.

The objectives outlined in the Plan are designed to support the vision for the future and fulfill the City’s strategic priorities and goals. Performance measures are established to monitor progress.

Based on the Plan, specific capital and operational projects are prioritized and included within the City’s Operating and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budgets.

The Plan was reviewed during the March 5, 2025 City Council workshop, with adjustments considered to meet the needs of the City’s growing community and continue to support the overarching strategic priorities established in the Plan. The identified modifications are summarized below and have been integrated into the updated 2023-2028 Plan. 2023-2028 Strategic Plan Updates
Connectivity and Mobility
The objective to create a traffic mitigation plan to reduce congestion on Menifee’s streets and roadways was revised to focus on the implementation of traffic mitigation plans aimed at reducing congestion throughout the city. This modification provides a more clearly defined deliverable with the implementation of existing plans already in place, including the Complete Streets Plan (CSP), the General Plan (GP), and the Active Transportation Plan (ATP).
The objective for the development of a transit mobility plan to identify transportation options within the City was modified to reference the implementation of multimodal transit mobility plans to identify “last mile” opportunities to connect residents to public transportation options within the City. The term “last mile” refers to closing gaps in transportation that occur in growing communities like the City of Menifee. By focusing resources on “last mile” projects, the City will be better positioned to ensure that commuters are able to travel safely and efficiently to their destinations without encountering missing infrastructure.
While staff actively pursue available grant funding that aligns with the City’s operational needs and strategic priorities, the award of grant funding is outside of the City’s control.

It is also important to note that many grants are issued cyclically on a biennial basis rather than annually. As such, the objective to increase grant funding for capital projects year- over-year was updated to state that the City will actively identify and pursue grant funding opportunities for capital projects.

Community Engagement and Social Infrastructure
An objective was added for the development of a "Youth in Government Program" by January 2026 to educate students on municipal governance, encourage civic participation, and provide mentorship and career development opportunities for Menifee’s youth. In October 2023, after consideration of the feasibility of conducting a statistically validated biennial residential satisfaction survey, the City Council elected not to move forward with Item Title: 10.5

initiating this performance measure. In place of conducting a comprehensive residential satisfaction survey, staff will gather community feedback through various plan development initiatives, such as the Placemaking, Unique Identity and Tourism Master Plan.

Thriving Economy
The creation of an Incubator Feasibility Plan and the acquisition of a facility for a Business Incubator Program have been placed on hold pending further evaluation of business development needs and facility priorities.

The Implementation Plan tracks the progress made in executing the goals and objectives established by the Mayor and City Council in the Plan. Implementation Plan updates are provided biannually, with the last update provided on February 5, 2025, for the six-month period extending from July 1 through December 31, 2024. This report summarizes the goals and objectives initiated and/or completed during the last six months of the five-year planning period extending from January 1 through June 30, 2025.

An update to the City’s Pavement Condition Index (PCI) as part of the Pavement Management Program (PMP) is underway, with the final PMP report and recommendations anticipated by the end of July. Additionally, several maintenance projects commenced in FY 2024/2025 to improve PCI in the most critical areas. This includes four resurfacing projects:

1. FY 24/25 Local AC Resurfacing: 10,000 cubic feet (1.9 centerline miles) – in Bidding phase

3. Mapes Road Resurfacing: 2,600 cubic feet (.25 centerline miles) - in Design phase

4. Antelope Road Resurfacing: approximately 6,600 cubic feet (1.25 centerline miles) for a total of 6.3 centerline miles – in Design phase
Unique Identity
The Placemaking, Unique Identity and Tourism Master Plan is underway with community engagement efforts including public meetings and City Council interviews completed in March 2025. To date, over 1,000 community responses have been collected, providing valuable insight to inform the study. The preliminary findings completed in late May will guide the next phase of the project including preparation of recommendations for consideration as part of the City's efforts to establish a unique identity and become a destination city.

Community Engagement and Social Infrastructure
Social Media & Community Alerts: The City continues to improve community awareness by encouraging residents to sign up for City alerts and follow the City on social media. During this reporting period, the City saw a 4.5 percent increase in social media followers, growing from 84,697 to 88,521. This data reflects the growth of our primary City of Menifee accounts, which include Facebook, Instagram, X (previously known as Twitter), LinkedIn, and Nextdoor. The City also maintains social media accounts for Menifee’s Police, Community Services, and Economic Development Departments. Subscriptions to the City website newsflash alerts increased by 2 percent from 2,429 to 2,480.

Menifee TV: The City’s Public Education Government (PEG) channel can be accessed on multiple cable providers: Spectrum (channel 1301), Frontier (channel 25), and Mediacom (channel 595). It is also available on the City’s website at cityofmenifee.us/Menifeetv. Menifee TV aims to deliver quality local programming, public meetings, and service announcements. During this reporting period, 39 original content videos were produced. This includes the creation of the “Menifee in the Works” series, highlighting Public Works Department operations and capital improvement program projects such as the Keller Road grading, stencil truck, street sweeping, and hot mix asphalt.

Website Enhancements: The City’s Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) website compliance consultant is working with staff in all departments to enhance the website, meet regulatory requirements, and ensure information about city operations and events is accessible to a broad audience. Given the complexity of the work required to meet ADA standards, the deadline for this objective was extended to June 30, 2025, allowing the consultant sufficient time to work with City Item Title: 10.5

staff to address the identified issues. The website remains fully functional while these improvements are being implemented.

Park Amenities/Recreation Program Enhancements: The City is devoted to developing unique park amenities, recreational facilities, and programming to serve the community's diverse needs in alignment with the Parks Master Plan. Several projects are currently underway to help meet those needs.

During this reporting period, the City acquired 19 parcels comprised of approximately 398 acres located on the east side of the City (commonly referred to as Menifee Hills) to be designated as open space for parks, trails and recreational purposes. This investment advances key Strategic Plan goals for the City related to placemaking, social infrastructure, and equitable access to recreational opportunities. It also directly supports the City’s adopted 2023 Parks Master Plan, which identifies open space preservation and land acquisition as essential strategies to meet long- term park and recreation needs. This land acquisition provides opportunities for eco-tourism and active recreational tourism, such as hiking and mountain biking.

Additionally, the design for a 1.94-acre passive park in Sun City – featuring a butterfly garden next to Faith Lutheran Church – has been finalized, and park construction is expected to begin in 2025. City staff are collaborating with Faith Lutheran Church and the grantor, the California Natural Resources Agency, to complete the property purchase and sale agreement. The City Council also approved an agreement with the Canyon Heights Homeowners Association in April for the dedication of 10.45 acres of land for use as a City-maintained park. With a grant award from the National Parks Service administered by the California State Parks Department as part of the Outdoor Legacy Recreation Program (OLRP), staff are now in the process of designing a nature-themed park including a multi-use field, playground and interactive nature trails in the Quail Valley area.

Progress continues at Central Park, with construction underway on the Central Park Amphitheater (CIP 19-15), as well as the Paloma Wash Pedestrian Bridge (CIP 20-13) and Civic Center Parking Lot (CIP 22-24). Upon completion, the culmination of these three projects will result in a vibrant new entertainment venue for the City.

Engagement Opportunities: The City recognizes the importance of providing engagement opportunities for residents to enhance their understanding and participation in City planning and community events. During this reporting period, the City held the Spring 2025 Citizen’s Academy, an eight-week course designed to provide residents and business owners with an opportunity to meet with City leaders and learn about City operations and services. The City also held numerous community workshops and community forums, including:
The Innovation District (Southern Gateway) Design Charrette Visioning Workshop (1/14/25)
Two joint City Council and Parks Recreation and Trials (PRTC) workshops to discuss the design of a new community center planned for the property on La Piedra Road adjacent to the Menifee Public Library (2/13 and 4/29/25)

Thriving Economy
Business Development: The City of Menifee is conducting a comprehensive reassessment of its business incubator needs to ensure strategic alignment with current economic conditions, investment opportunities, and long-term return of investment. As part of this effort, we are updating the Menifee Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) to identify key industries, emerging market opportunities, and targeted economic drivers that can inform our approach to business incubation. This data-driven process will allow us to refine our strategies to better support entrepreneurship, attract investment, and enhance sustainable economic growth.

By aligning our initiatives with the evolving needs of the local business community, we aim to optimize resource allocation and maximize positive economic impact for Menifee.

The City has also engaged Urban 3, a consultant specializing in land value economics, to produce a report that will identify a "value per acre" analysis within the City. The results of this report will help identify the tools and incentives that may help to attract development. The Urban 3 study is currently underway, and it is anticipated that the preliminary results will be completed by August 2025.

Safe and Vibrant Community
In its 2025 Safest Cities report, the safety advisory group Safewise named Menifee as one of the safest cities in California (ranked #18) for the second year in a row. The report noted decreases in both property and violent crime in the City over the previous year. This achievement is the result of the City’s ongoing commitment to provide a safe and vibrant community.

Public Education/Training: A total of 408 people participated in the Menifee Life Savers training during this reporting period, with 1,745 people having participated in the program to date.

3 Results for the Community
We know our community has big dreams for Menifee and we want to see them come true. Menifee’s citywide Strategic Plan lays a foundation for this progress, deﬁnes our shared vision for the future and focuses City resources on ﬁve key strategic priorities: Unique Identity, Community Engagement and Social Infrastructure, Thriving Economy, Safe and Vibrant Community, and Connectivity and Mobility. These priorities, and their supporting goals and objectives, came from considerable community input and feedback. These priorities drive us toward meaningful outcomes and big steps forward on the road to reaching our collective long-term vision.

What does a strategic plan do?
Charts the Course
The Strategic Plan’s ﬁve-year timeline allows for thoughtful sequencing of initiatives. The alignment with the City’s annual budget process creates a stronger connection
between ﬁnances and operations. With the Strategic Plan as a guide, other City plans and initiatives will be built to align. In addition to priorities, goals and objectives, this plan includes performance measures for
government transparency, accountability, and
ongoing improvement.

property development rights while protecting environmentally sensitive land uses and species.

The proposed amendments to Title 5 (Business Regulations), Title 7 (Subdivisions), and Title 9 (Planning & Zoning) will provide reasonable property development rights while protecting environmentally sensitive land uses and species as the proposed amendment aligns local regulations with recent State laws while maintaining the City’s existing environmental standards and review processes. Updates improve clarity, flexibility, and usability without removing safeguards in zoning, development standards, and planning procedures. New provisions added per SB 450 expanding on SB 9, related to urban lot splits and two-unit developments, as well as provisions for SB 684 and SB 1123 for small lot subdivisions, include built-in exclusions for sensitive areas, ensuring that streamlined development does not override protections for critical habitats or conservation lands.

Section 4:The proposed amendments to Title 5 (Business Regulations), Title 7 (Subdivisions), and Title 9 (Planning & Zoning) ensures protection of the general health, safety, and welfare of the community.

The proposed amendments to Title 5 (Business Regulations), Title 7 (Subdivisions), and Title 9 (Planning & Zoning) ensure the protection of the general health, safety, and welfare of the community by updating local regulations to reflect current State laws, eliminating outdated provisions, and reinforcing clear, consistent development standards. The amendments enhance regulatory transparency, reduce ambiguity for applicants and staff, and support responsible land use practices.

Section 5: Compliance with CEQA. The proposed amendments to Title 5 (Business Regulations), Title 7 (Subdivisions), and Title 9 (Planning & Zoning) are in compliance with the requirements of CEQA.

The proposed amendments to Title 5 (Business Regulations), Title 7 (Subdivisions), and Title 9 (Planning & Zoning) have been assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in CEQA and the state CEQA Guidelines. Specifically, the proposed amendments have been determined to be exempt from further environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), “the Common Sense” exemption, because the proposed actions have no possibility of having a significant effect on the environment. The proposed amendments pertaining to ADUs are also statutorily exempt under Public Resources Code Section 21080.17 (exemption for local ordinances implementing state law related to ADUs).

Section 6:Adoption. The MMC Amendment, as set forth in Exhibit “A,” Exhibit “B,” and Exhibit “C” hereto, is hereby approved and adopted. Exhibit “A,” Exhibit “B,” and Exhibit “C” show the changes to the existing MMC with underlining of additions and strikeout of deletions.

9.140.010 Purpose

The purpose of this chapter is to establish business districts in the City that provide appropriate locations for commercial, office, industrial and economic development. These districts are consistent with and implement the City’s General Plan.

9.140.020 Description and Intent of Zone

The following descriptions identify the characteristic uses, intensity of uses, and level of development intended for each zone:

A. Economic Development Corridor Northern Gateway (EDC- NG). Envisioned as a business park area with more intensive industrial uses (less office) than envisioned for the Scott Road EDC area. Provides a buffer and transition between the commercial uses in Perris to the north and the residential uses in Menifee, south of McLaughlin Road.

B. Economic Development Corridor McCall Boulevard (EDC-MB). Envisioned as a mix of office, medical, and residential uses (assisted living, senior apartments, townhomes, etc.) that would be compatible with the Regional Medical Center and would provide health-related services in close proximity to Sun City residents.

C. Economic Development Corridor Community Core (EDC-CC). The Community Core is envisioned as the City’s primary activity center and gathering place. Civic and entertainment uses are envisioned here that are complemented with commercial retail uses and higher density housing options that encourage walkability and reduce the use of the automobile. This area is intended to function as the ceremonial “heart” or downtown of the City of Menifee and will serve as a transition from existing rural lots to more concentrated retail and office development moving east toward I-215.

D. Economic Development Corridor Newport Road (EDC-NR). The Newport Road Corridor is intended to provide neighborhood-oriented commercial uses that support the adjacent residential development to the north and south. Business park, office, or residential uses are envisioned along Bradley Road, to provide a buffer the commercial corridor and a logical transition to the adjacent single -family residential neighborhoods to the north.

E. Economic Development Corridor Southern Gateway (EDC -SG). Southern Gateway will feature a business park style of development consisting of light industrial and office uses, with commercial use opportunities. The objective is to allow development while preserving the rural character of the Southern Gateway area.

The requirements listed below apply to special types of landscaping. However, in any wildland -urban interface fire area, the Riverside County Fire Department/Cal Fire requirements shall prevail.

A. Residential landscape. See Section 9.195.050 (Additional Requirements for Residential Areas).

B. Substantial landscaping. All required landscaped areas and planters, unless utilized for other purposes such as Water Quality compliance with the governing jurisdiction, shall be landscaped with a mix of trees, shrubs, perennials, ornamental grasses, vines and ground cover to create a dense and layered design. A substantial quantity of plants shall be planted. Drought -tolerant plants shall be used within all landscaped areas to augment the aesthetic and decorative nature of the planted area. Drought - tolerant plants shall augment, but not completely substitute for, other floral arrangements unless specifically approved by the approval authority.

C. Decorative materials. Decorative materials such as mulch, decomposed granite, bark and drought - tolerant plants, as well as non-living inert material (rock, cobbles, decorative stone, etc.), may be used within any landscape area required by this chapter upon approval by the approval authority.

D. Project entry landscaping. Entries to projects (both residential and nonresidential) shall be designed as a special statement reflective of the character and scale of the project to establish identity for tenants, visitors and patrons. Irrigated, flowering accent plantings, decorative drought - tolerant annuals (to be replaced as needed for maintenance) and specimen trees shall be used to reinforce the entry statement.

E. Trees adjacent to building walls. With the exception of single-family housing developments, trees shall be planted in areas of public view adjacent to structures at a rate of one tree per 30 linear feet of building dimensions, particularly to interrupt expansive horizontal and vertical surfaces. Tree clusters may be used to satisfy specific design objectives.

F. Screening of drive-through aisles.

I. Signs. Landscaping shall be provided at the base of the supporting structure of freestanding signs equal to the area of one face of the sign except as otherwise allowed by the Community Development Director. For example, 50 square feet of sign area requires 50 square feet of landscaped area. The Community Development Director may reduce this ratio during formal project review if found necessary and/or appropriate for the overall design of the proposed project. Such landscaping shall be appropriately irrigated and shall include floral arrangements that include drought - tolerant annuals and perennials that are designed to facilitate maintenance as well as to enhance aesthetic quality.

J. Buffering between uses . A landscape buffer shall only be used between land uses when residential uses are located next to non -residential uses or when necessary, as determined by the designated approving authority. A landscaping strip with a minimum width of 5 feet shall be installed adjacent to a screening wall, except that a minimum of 6 10 feet of landscaping (with trees) shall be provided between a parking lot and a screening wall.

K. Sound walls/masonry walls. Where setback and open space areas are screened from public view by walls or similar approved structures, landscaping shall be provided so that 50% of the wall will be covered by landscape material within three years. See Chapter 9.185 (Fences, Walls, and Screening).

L. Existing trees. Mature trees on the site in good health shall be preserved whenever possible. Credit for the preservation of existing trees shall be as specified in Section 9.100.030 .C (Credit for Tree Preservation).

M. Parking lot landscape. Parking lot landscape includes perimeter planters, planters abutting parking lots and drive aisles, tree planting for parking lot shade, and a combination of continuous planting strips, planting fingers and parking islands throughout the parking lot . All landscaped areas, including those with drought-tolerant plants, shall be irrigated. Landscape requirements applicable to all commercial, industrial, mixed -use and multi -family parking lots with five or more spaces are listed below. Se e Chapter 9.240 ( Motor Vehicle and Related Uses) for superseding standards , requirements and exceptions.

1. Maintenance. All landscaped areas, whether populated with drought-tolerant plants, other species or decorative materials such as mulch, decomposed granite, bark or other non-living inert materials (rock, cobble, decorative stone, etc.), shall be maintained in a clean, weed -free and disease -free manner as specified in this chapter and as reviewed, approved and installed (per City inspection) at all times.

2. Trees required. Trees are required to be planted at a rate of one tree for every four parking stalls.

At maturity, trees should reach a minimum height and spread of 40 feet so as to form a shade canopy over parking stalls. Smaller ornamental trees may not be used to satisfy this requirement.

Tree selections shall be approved by the Community Development Department.

3. Minimum landscape. A minimum of 10% of the total off-street parking area shall be landscaped with trees, shrubs and appropriate ground cover. The parking area shall be computed by adding the areas Item Title: 10.6

A. The City Council has found that prohibitions on marijuana cultivation and processing are necessary for the preservation and protection of the public health, safety and welfare for the city and its community. The City Council’s prohibition of such activities is within the authority conferred upon the City Council under state law. On October 9, 2015, the governor signed the Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act (MMRSA) into law. The MMRSA contains new statutory provisions that:
a. Allow local governments to enact ordinances expressing their intent to prohibit the cultivation of marijuana cannabis outdoors and their intent not to administer a conditional permit program pursuant to enact reasonable regulations to regulate the cultivation of marijuana within a single private residence or inside an accessory structure to a private residence that is fully enclosed and secure California Health and Safety Code Section 11362.777 for the cultivation of marijuana cannabis (California Health an d Safety Code Section 11362.7772(b)(1-3)).
b. Expressly provide that the MMRSA does not supersede or limit local authority of local law enforcement activity, enforcement of local ordinances or enforcement of local permit or licensing requirements regarding marijuana (California Business and Professions Code Section 1931526200(a)).
c. Expressly provide that the MMRSA does not limit the authority or remedies of a local government under any provision of law regarding marijuanacannabis , including but not limited to a local government's right to make and enforce within its limits all police regulations not in conflict with general laws (California Business and Professions Code Section 1931626200(a)).

B. The Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA) was approved by the voters on November 8, 2016 and took effect the day after the election. The AUMA decriminalized for state law purposes specified personal use and cultivation of non -medical cannabis marijuana and established a state regulatory and licensing program for non -medical marijuana cannabis commercial cultivation, Item Title: 10.6
