The GP EIR determined that projected net increases in water demand resulting from buildout would be adequately accommodated by existing and planned water supplies. The Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) anticipated increasing its supplies by 88,300 acre-feet per year, while the GP would result in an increase of only 16,800 acre -feet per year. The GP EIR found that regional water supply would remain sufficient to support full buildout, and therefore, impacts would be less than significant.

The GP EIR found that the region’s water treatment capacity would be sufficient to meet the increased demand from buildout. EMWD’s existing and planned facilities, including the Perris II Desalter and the expansion of the Perris Water Filtration Plant, would provide almost 900 million gallons per day of treatment capacity. The GP EIR concluded that these improvements would accommodate future needs, and impacts would be less than significant.

The GP EIR determined that the existing and planned wastewater treatment capacity provided by EMWD would be sufficient to accommodate projected increases in wastewater generation associated with buildout of the GP. No additional capacity beyond what was already planned would be required. Therefore, the GP EIR found that impacts would be less than significant.

The GP EIR found that implementation of the GP would not conflict with the wastewater discharge requirements of the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). Development under the GP would be subject to compliance with the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit or, for certain industrial uses, individual permits that include necessary discharge requirements. As a result, the GP EIR determined that impacts would be less than significant.

The GP EIR determined that stormwater runoff associated with buildout would be accommodated by proposed drainage infrastructure improvements. These include planned facilities identified in the Homeland- Romoland Area Drainage Plan, the Romoland Master Drainage Plan, and new City storm drains. Therefore, the GP EIR found that impacts related to stormwater infrastructure would be less than significant.

The GP EIR found that solid waste generated from buildout could be adequately accommodated by existing regional landfill capacity. The GP would not result in the need for new or expanded landfill facilities. As such, the GP EIR determined that impacts to solid waste services would be less than significant.

The GP EIR found that electricity and natural gas utilities have sufficient capacity to meet the projected demand associated with buildout. No new energy infrastructure or additional supply sources would be required. The GP EIR concluded that energy impacts would be less than significant.

Summary of Impacts Identified in the SP EIR
The SP EIR discussed impacts related to utilities and service systems under Section 4.21, Utilities and Service Systems, pages 97 through 105.

The SP EIR determined that payment of applicable fees and compliance with District and County requirements would ensure that adequate infrastructure are provided. Therefore, impacts related to system capacity and construction of new or expanded utility facilities were determined to be less than significant.

The SP EIR found that adequate water supplies would be available to serve the Specific Plan, with implementation of required off-site and on-site reclaimed water system improvements. As such, water supply impacts were determined to be less than significant.

The SP EIR concluded that the payment of fees to EMWD would support the expansion of wastewater treatment capacity and prevent negative financial impacts to the District. Additionally, implementation of the Water and Sewer Plan Development Standards of the SP would further reduce impacts. Based on these considerations, the SP EIR determined that wastewater-related impacts would be less than significant.

The SP EIR also evaluated solid waste service capacity, noting that development under the SP was estimated to generate approximately 83.8 tons of refuse daily, based on projected population growth. To address this, the SP EIR incorporated Mitigation Measur es D.8.1 and D.8.2, requiring coordination with the County Waste Management District, notification of local haulers regarding County Resolution No. 90 -402, and design considerations such as trash compactors and recycling collection points. With implementation of these Mitigation Measures and compliance with applicable regulations, including the County Solid Waste Management Plan and the Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989, the SP EIR determined that impacts related to solid waste infrastructure and regulations would be less than significant.

Project-Specific Impacts
a) Require or result in the construction of new or expanded water, wastewater treatment or storm water drainage, electric power, natural gas, or telecommunications facilities, the construction or relocation of which could cause significant environmental effects? No New Impact. This topic was evaluated in the GP EIR and was determined to be less than significant.

Water
As described in the GP EIR, the Project site is located within the service area of the EMWD, which provides potable water, recycled water, and wastewater services to an area of approximately 555 square miles in western Riverside County. EMWD’s water system includes 2,421 miles of transmission and distribution water mains, 4 operating regional water reclamation facilities, and 2 water filtration facilities (Water Systems Consulting, Inc., 2021).

Potable water service for the proposed Project would be provided via the installation on -site eight-inch water line located within the proposed Project’s internal private roadways. The on-site system would connect to an existing eight -inch public water line located in Palomar Road . The new on- site water system would convey water supplies to the proposed building and landscaping through plumbing/landscaping fixtures that are compliant with the CAL Green Plumbing Code for efficient use of water and that are consistent with GP goals and policies. Installation of the new water distribution lines would only serve the proposed Project and would not provide new water supplies to any off-site areas. The construction activities related to the on- site water infrastructure that would be needed to serve the proposed Project are included as part of the proposed Project and would not result in any physical environmental effects beyond those identified throughout this document. For example, analysis of construction emissions from excavation and installation of the water infrastructure is included in Section 5.3, Air Quality, and Section 5.8, Greenhouse Gas Emissions.

Furthermore, as described in Section 5.10, Land Use and Planning, and Section 5.14, Population and Housing, the proposed Project is consistent with land uses anticipated for the area by the GP and would not induce substantial unplanned population. Thus, it is not anticipated that implementation of the proposed Project would require construction of new or expanded water facilities and no additional water supplies would be needed to accommodate the proposed Project beyond what is anticipated by EMWD, as described in more detail below under impact 5.19 b). Therefore, the proposed Project would not result in the construction of new water facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the constructi on of which could cause significant environmental effects, and impacts would be less than significant.

Wastewater
As described in the GP EIR, EMWD provides wastewater treatment and recycled water services throughout its service area, which includes the Project site.

Development of the proposed Project would include the installation of eight-inch sewer lines within the internal private roadways, which would connect to an existing 15 -inch sewer main located along the western Item Title: 11.1

boundary of the Project site. The construction activities related to installation of the on -site sewer infrastructure that would serve the proposed Project is included as part of the proposed Project and would not result in any physical environmental effects beyond those identified throughout this document. For example, analysis of construction emissions for excavation and installat ion of the sewer infrastructure is included in Section 5.3, Air Quality, and 5.8, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and noise volumes from these activities are evaluated in Section 5.13, Noise . As the proposed Project includes facilities to serve the proposed development, it would not result in the need for construction of other new wastewater facilities or expansions, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects.

As described above, the proposed Project is consistent with the land use and growth assumptions of the GP and would not induce substantial unplanned population growth. Therefore, implementation of the proposed Project is not anticipated to require the construction of new or expanded wastewater treatment facilities beyond those already planned by EMWD. As a result, the proposed Project would not require the construction of new wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities that could res ult in significant environmental impacts. Impacts would be less than significant.

Stormwater
As discussed above in Section 5.10, Hydrology and Water Quality, due to the appropriate sizing of the on- site drainage features, as demonstrated in the Project’s Hydrology Report (Appendix F), and as ensured through the Project permitting process, operation of the proposed Project would not substantially increase stormwater runoff, and the proposed Project would not require or result in the construction of new off -site storm water drainage facilities or expansion of existing off-site facilities.

Electric Power
The proposed Project would connect to the existing Southern California Edison electrical distribution facilities that are adjacent to the Project site and would not require the construction of new electrical facilities.

Adequate industrial electricity supplies are presently available to meet the incremental increase in demand attributed to the Project. Provision of electricity to the Project site is not anticipated to require or result in the construction of new facilities or the expansion of existing facilities, the construction or relocation of which would cause significant environmental impacts to electricity.

Natural Gas
The proposed Project would not connect to existing natural gas infrastructure. Therefore, the proposed Project would result in no new impacts related to construction of new or expanded utilities that could result in significant environmental effects.
b) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project and reasonably foreseeable future development during normal, dry, and multiple dry years? No New Impact. This topic was evaluated in the GP EIR and was determined to be less than significant.

As described above, the proposed Project would be serviced by EMWD. EMWD’s Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) is a tool that provides a summary of anticipated water supplies and demands for the next 20 years for the region that EMWD services including most of the City of Menifee, other cities, and unincorporated areas in Riverside County (Water Systems Consulting, Inc., 2021). EMWD has a diverse portfolio of local and imported water supplies to deliver treated water to its customers. Local supplies include recycled water, potable groundwater, and desalinated groundwater. Imported water supplies are received from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.

Water use projections for 2025 -2045 are provided in the EMWD 2020 UWMP. Projected demands are based on planned development and land use of the service area. According to the 2020 UWMP, total water Item Title: 11.1

supply in 2025 is projected to be 145,930 acre-feet (AF) and would increase to 187,100 AF by 2045 (Water Systems Consulting, Inc., 2021) . Furthermore, estimated water supply and demand for EMWD is projected to be balanced during normal, single dry, and multiple dry years through 2045. The Water Service Reliability and Drought Risk Assessment Section of the UWMP also concludes that under dry and multiple dry year scenarios, stored groundwater and imported water from Metropolitan would be able to meet increased demands.

The proposed Project is consistent with the GP land use designation, which would be classified as residential use under the sectors analyzed within the UWMP. Therefore, water demands have been accounted for within the 2020 UWMP and t he water supplies are sufficient to meet demand within the City ’s service area, including the p roposed Project’s demand. In addition, the proposed Project would minimize water use by inclusion of low -flow plumbing and irrigation fixtures, pursuant to the California Title 24 requirements.

Therefore, the water supply would meet the water demand of the proposed Project during normal, dry, and multiple dry years and no new or substantially greater impacts would occur with implementation of the proposed Project beyond what was previously evaluated, identified, and disclosed in the GP EIR and the SP EIR.
c) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project’s projected demand in addition to the provider’s existing commitments?
No New Impact. This topic was evaluated in the GP EIR and was determined to be less than significant.

As described above, the proposed Project would be serviced by EMWD for wastewater services and is within the subservice area of the Perris Valley Regional Wastewater Reclamation Facility (RWRF). Sewage from the northern portion of the City of Menifee is conveyed to the Perris Valley RWRF, which has a treatment capacity of 22 million gallons per day (gpd), with a typical daily flow of 15.5 million gpd (EMWD, 2021).

Thus, the remaining daily capacity of the Perris Valley RWRF is approximately 6.5 million gpd. Based on the residential wastewater generation rate of 55 gallons per capita per day identified in Table 5.17-2 of the City of Menifee GP EIR, and the estimated population of 526 residents generated by the proposed Project (refer to Section 5.14, Population and Housing ), the proposed Project is anticipated to generate approximately 28,930 gpd of wastewater. Therefore, wastewater generated by the proposed Project would represent a fraction of the excess treatment capacity available at Perris Valley RWRF and there would be available capacity to accommodate the wastewater demand generated by the proposed Project.

As such, the proposed Project would not require new or expanded wastewater treatment facilities and no new or substantially greater impacts would occur with implementation of the proposed Project beyond what was previously evaluated, identified, and disclosed in the GP EIR and the SP EIR. d) Generate solid waste in excess of State or local standards, or in excess of the capacity of local infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment of solid waste reduction goals? No New Impact. This topic was evaluated in the GP EIR and was determined to be less than significant.

The proposed Project would generate solid waste during construction activities as well as during operation.

The City of Menifee contracts with Waste Management, Inc. to transport trash to the El Sobrante Landfill and the Badlands Landfill, described below.
• The El Sobrante Landfill is permitted to accept 16,054 tons per day of solid waste , operates six days a week, and is permitted to operate through 2051. In March 2025, the landfill had a peak disposal tonnage of 72,591 tons per week (12,099 tons per day) (CalRecycle, 2025a) . Thus, additional capacity is available for 3,956 tons of daily solid waste. • The Badlands Sanitary Landfill is permitted to accept 5,000 tons per day of solid waste, operates six days a week, and is permitted to operate through 2059. In 2023, the landfill had a n average Item Title: 11.1

daily tonnage of 2,848 tons (CalRecycle, 2025b). Thus, additional capacity is available for 2,152 tons of daily solid waste.

Assuming a conservative estimate based on average disposal tonnage, the two landfills have a combined additional capacity of 6,108 tons per day of solid waste.

Construction
The proposed Project does not involve demolition of existing structures; however, construction of the proposed Project would generate solid waste for landfill disposal from construction packaging and discarded materials. Utilizing a construction waste factor of 4.39 pounds per square foot (United State Environmental Protection Agency, 2009, p. 9), construction of the proposed Project would generate approximately 1,290 tons of waste during construction from packaging and discarded materials ([587,599 × 4.39 lbs/SF] ÷ 2,000 lbs/ton = 1,290 tons). However, Section 5.408.1 of the 2022 California Green Building Standards Code requires construction activities to recycle or reuse a minimum of 65 percent of the nonhazardous construction waste. Therefore, construction activities would generate approximately 451 tons of solid waste to be disposed of at the landfills . As described in Appendix A, Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas, and Energy Report, construction of the proposed Project is estimated to span 26 months, which would equate to approximately 0.58 tons of solid waste per day. As described above, the two landfills have a combined additional capacity of 6,108 tons per day of solid waste. Therefore, waste generated by construction of the Project would be accommodated for and impacts would be less than significant.

Operation
Solid waste generation rates included in the City of Menifee GP EIR states that for single family housing land uses the generation rate is 10 pounds per day per unit, or approximately 1.83 tons per year per unit. Thus, the proposed 192 single family residential units would generate approximately 351 tons of solid waste per year or 0.96 tons per day. However, at least 75 percent of the solid waste is required by AB 341 to be recycled, which would reduce the volume of landfilled solid waste to approximately 87.75 tons per year or

0.24 tons per day. As described above, the two landfills have a combined additional capacity of 6,108 tons per day of solid waste. Thus, the facilities would be able to accommodate the addition of 0.24 tons per day from operation of the proposed Project and impacts related to landfill capacity would be less than significant. Based on the foregoing analysis, no new or substantially greater impacts would occur with implementation of the proposed Project beyond what was previously evaluated, identified, and disclosed in the GP EIR and the SP EIR.
e) Comply with federal, State, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste? No New Impact. This topic was evaluated in the GP EIR and was determined to be less than significant.

As described previously, the proposed Project would generate an increased amount of solid waste. All solid waste-generating activities within the City are subject to the requirements set forth in Section 5.408.1 of the California Green Building Standards Code that requires demolition and construction activities to recycle or reuse a minimum of 65 percent of the nonhazardous construction and demolitio n waste, and AB 341 that requires diversion of a minimum of 75 percent of operational solid waste.

The proposed Project would comply with all standards related to solid waste diversion, reduction, and recycling during Project construction and operation, which would be verified through the City development permitting process. Therefore, the Project would not result in significant impacts related to compliance with solid waste regulations and no new or substantially greater impacts would occur with implementation of the proposed Project beyond what was previously evaluated, identified, and disclosed in the GP EIR and the SP EIR.

Conclusion
Regarding the issue area of utilities and service systems, the following findings can be made:
15183 Findings

1. No peculiar impacts to the Project or its site have been identified.

2. There are no significant effects that were not analyzed as part of the GP EIR.

3. There are no potentially significant off-site and/or cumulative impacts which were not discussed by the GP EIR.

4. No substantial new information has been identified which results in an impact which is more severe than anticipated by the GP EIR.

5. No Mitigation Measures related to utilities and service systems are contained within the GP EIR.

Additionally, no Mitigation Measures would be required because Project specific impacts would be less than significant.
15182 Findings
Based on the foregoing information, none of the conditions identified in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or M itigation Measures exist regarding utilities and service systems .

There have not been (1) changes related to development of the Project site that involve new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; (2) substantial changes with resp ect to the circumstances under which development of the Project site is undertaken that require major revisions of the certified EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; or (3) the availability of new information of substantial importance relating to significant effects or Mitigation Measures or alternatives that were not known and could not have been known when the certified SP EIR was certified as completed.

Because none of the conditions identified in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts, State CEQA Guidelines 15182 also does not require additional environmental review and the Project is within the scope of the SP EIR.

Summary of Impacts Identified in the GP EIR
The wildfire threshold questions listed above were not specifically addressed in the GP EIR as they were not a part of the CEQA Guidelines at the time the GP EIR was adopted. However, the GP EIR addressed wildland fire risks within Section 5.8, Hazards and Hazardous Materials.

The GP EIR found that a large portion of the City falls within Moderate, High, and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ) as designated by CAL FIRE. The GP would designate development adjacent to open space areas, which could pose wildfire risks. The GP EIR determined that the required use of fire - resistant building materials, implementation of fuel modification zones, and vegetation management around structures would reduce potential wildfire impacts. New development in wildland and urban -wildland interface areas would be required to comply with existing regulations, including the California Fire Code Item Title: 11.1

and California Building Code fire -resistant construction standards. The GP EIR concluded that compliance with these regulations would reduce wildfire risks to less-than-significant levels.

Summary of Impacts Identified in the SP EIR
The Menifee North Specific Plan Amendment No. 5, Addendum to EIR No. 329 discussed impacts related to wildfire under Section 4.22, Wildfire, pages 106 through 108.

The SP EIR was prepared prior to the inclusion of wildfire -specific thresholds in the CEQA Guidelines Appendix G checklist and did not directly analyze wildfire impacts. As such, the SP EIR did not evaluate potential impacts related to the installation or maintenance of infrastructure that could exacerbate wildfire risk or result in temporary or ongoing environmental effects, nor did it analyze the Project’s potential to impair an adopted emergency response or evacuation plan. Additionally, the SP EIR did n ot address the potential for post-fire slope instability or changes in drainage patterns.

Although wildfire-specific thresholds were not analyzed, the SP EIR included sufficient information regarding general hazards and land use compatibility to allow, through reasonable diligence, an understanding of how the SP would relate to fire risk, emergency access, and site design. As such, while not explicitly evaluated under current CEQA wildfire criteria, relevant considerations were available within the SP EIR to inform the public of potential hazard-related effects. The Menifee North Specific Plan Amendment No. 5, Addendum to SP EIR, determined that impacts would be less than significant with compliance to existing regulations.

Project-Specific Impacts
a) Substantially impair an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? Not Previously Analyzed in the Prior EIR. This topic was not evaluated in the GP EIR.

According to the Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps recommended by CAL FIRE on March 24, 2025, the Project site is not located within a State Responsibility Area (SRA) or near an area identified as a V HFHSZ (CAL FIRE, 2025). The Project site is, however, listed within a Local Responsibility Area (LRA), meaning the primary responsibility for preventing and suppressing wildfires is with the local agency. Additionally, as stated in Section 5.9, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, the proposed Project would not physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan. The proposed Project does not include any characteristics (e.g., permanent road closures or long -term blocking of road access) that would substantially impair or otherwise conflict with an emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan.

Further, the proposed Project would not obstruct or alter any transportation routes that could be used as evacuation routes during emergency events.

The proposed Project would provide adequate emergency access to the site via two new driveways along Palomar Road, which would connect to a 24 - to 28-foot-wide internal access way that would ensure two - way vehicle travel and emergency vehicle movements . Project driveways and internal access would be consistent with the City’s permitting procedures to meet the City’s design standards, stated in the Menifee Development Code Section 9.160.050, to ensure adequate emergency access and evacuation. The proposed Project would also be required to provide fire suppression facilities (e.g., hydrants and sprinklers). The Office of the Fire Marshal and/or Community Development Department would review the development plans as part of the permitting procedures to ensure adequate emergency access pursuant to the requirements in Section 503 of the California Fire Code (Title 24, California Code of Regulations, Part 9). As a result, the proposed Project would not impair an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan .

Therefore, impacts would be less than significant and no new or substantially greater impacts would occur with implementation of the proposed Project beyond what was previously evaluated, identified, and disclosed in the GP EIR and the SP EIR.

b) Due to slope, prevailing winds, and other factors, exacerbate wildfire risks, and thereby expose project occupants to, pollution concentrations from a wildfire or the uncontrolled spread of a wildfire?
Not Previously Analyzed in the Prior EIR. This topic was not evaluated in the GP EIR.

As described in the previous response, the Project site is not within or near an SRA or a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone ( VHFHSZ). The Project site is surrounded by residential land uses to the north and west, commercial to the south, and vacant and undeveloped land to the east. Therefore, the Project site and adjacent areas are predominately developed and do not contain factors that could exacerbate wildfire risks. The proposed Project would also be required to comply with the 2022 California Fire Cod e, 2022 California Building Code, and City of Menifee Municipal Code Chapter 8.20, Fire Code. The City of Menifee Fire Code provides building standards for access roads, building clearances and other fire -related requirements such as fire apparatus, construction materials and methods, and automatic sprinkler systems.

Compliance with these requirements would be verified by the City prior to the issuance of building permits for the proposed Project consistent, with GP Policy S- 4.9 and Policy S -4.1. As such, the proposed Project would not exacerbate wildfire risks as compared to existing conditions because it is representative of existing development in the area. Thus, impacts related to factors that would expose project occupants to pollutant concentrations from a wildfi re or the uncontrolled spread of a wildfire would not occur. Based on the foregoing analysis, no new or substantially greater impacts would occur with implementation of the proposed Project beyond what was previously evaluated, identified, and disclosed in the GP EIR and the SP EIR. c) Require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure (such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines, or other utilities) that may exacerbate fire risk or that may result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment? Not Previously Analyzed in the Prior EIR. This topic was not evaluated in the GP EIR.

As described in the previous responses, the Project site is not within or near an SRA or a VHFHSZ and is located within a predominantly developed setting. The proposed Project does not require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure (including roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines, or other utilities) that would exacerbate fire risk or that would result in impacts to the environmen t.

Although the proposed Project includes new driveways within the Project site, the proposed Project does not include any changes to public or private roadways that would exacerbate fire risk or that would result in impacts to the environment. Although utility improvements, including domestic water, sanitary sewer, and storm drain lines proposed as part of the proposed Project would be extended throughout the Project site, these utility improvements would be underground and would not exacerbate fire risk. Project design and implementation of utility improvements would be reviewed and approved by the City as part of the Project approval process to ensure the proposed Project is compliant with all applicable design standards and regulations. Therefore, the proposed Project would not include infrastructure (such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines, or other utilities), that would exacerbate fire risk or that would result in impacts to the environment . Based on the foregoing analysis, no new or substantially greater impacts would occur with implementation of the proposed Project beyond what was previously evaluated, identified, and disclosed in the GP EIR and the SP EIR.
d) Expose people or structures to significant risks, including downslope or downstream flooding or landslides, as a result of runoff, post-fire slope instability, or drainage changes? Not Previously Analyzed in the Prior EIR. This topic was not evaluated in the GP EIR.

As described in the previous responses, the Project site is not within or near an SRA or VHFHSZ. As discussed in Section 5.10, Hydrology and Water Quality , the proposed Project would not result in increased impacts related to flooding or drainage changes. Also as discussed in Section 5. 7, Geology and Soils , the Project Item Title: 11.1

site is relatively flat and is not susceptible to landslides. In addition, the Project site is located in a flat area that does not contain or is adjacent to large slopes, and the proposed Project would not generate large slopes. Furthermore, the proposed Project includes installation of on-site drainage improvements.

Therefore, the proposed Project would not result in impacts related to significant risks, including downslope or downstream flooding or landslides, as a result of runoff, post-fire slope instability, or drainage changes.

Based on the foregoing analysis, no new or substantially greater impacts would occur with implementation of the proposed Project beyond what was previously evaluated, identified, and disclosed in the GP EIR and the SP EIR.

Conclusion
Regarding the issue area of wildfire, the following findings can be made:
15183 Findings

1. No peculiar impacts to the Project or its site have been identified.

2. There are no significant effects that were not analyzed as part of the GP EIR.

3. There are no potentially significant off-site and/or cumulative impacts which were not discussed by the GP EIR.

4. No substantial new information has been identified which results in an impact which is more severe than anticipated by the GP EIR.

5. No Mitigation Measures related to wildfire are contained within the GP EIR. Additionally, no Mitigation Measures would be required because Project specific impacts would be less than significant. 15182 Findings
Based on the foregoing information, none of the conditions identified in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 that would trigger the need to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or other environmental document to evaluate Project impacts or Mitigation Measures exist regarding wildfire. There have not been (1) changes related to development of the Project site that involve new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which development of the Project site is undertaken that require major revisions of the certified EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects; or ( 3) the availability of new information of substantial importance relating to significant effects or Mitigation Measures or alternatives that were not known and could not have been known when the certified SP EIR was certified as completed.

The Project site has a General Plan Land Use and Zoning designation of Specific Plan (SP); and more specifically, the project is located within Planning Areas (PA) 7A and 7B of the Menifee North Specific Plan (SP No. 260). According to the SP, the combination of the two planning areas has a target residential density of 172 total dwelling units or 6.32 dwelling units per acre (Medium or Medium- High Density).

Pursuant to MMC Section 9.180 and California Government Code Section 65915, the Project seeks to utilize California’s State Density Bonus Law (DBL) by including affordable housing units. As part of the proposed Project’s commitment to affordable housing, nine units (5% of the base density) would be reserved for very low-income households, qualifying the proposed Project for benefits under DBL. These benefits could include a 20% density bonus, development standard waivers or reductions, one concession/incentive, and the use of State Density Bonus parking ratios as permitted under the City of Menifee Development Code Chapter 9.180.

The Project proposes to subdivide the 27.35-acre (27.14 net acres) site into 192 single-family residential lots, resulting in an overall proposed density of 7.07 dwelling units per acre, utilizing a 12% density bonus.

MMC Section 9.180 and California Government Code Section 65915 allow for projects that are utilizing density bonus to also request unlimited waivers of development standards if those development standards have the effect of physically precluding the construction of a housing development that provides for 5% of the residential units as very low-income affordable units. The Project proposes 5% or nine of the residential units (of the base density of 172 units) as very low-income affordable and therefore can request development standard waivers.

The Project is consistent with the following City of Menifee General Plan policies:
LU-1.2 Provide a spectrum of housing types and price ranges that match the jobs in the city and make it possible for people to live and work in Menifee and maintain a high quality of life.

The subdivision proposes two housing product types within the two distinct communities. To help reduce the housing costs, the Project includes nine very-low-income units.
Policy HE 1.2 Support residential growth and infill in specific plan areas and along corridors where comprehensive neighborhood planning is completed, and adequate infrastructure is planned.

The Project includes infill development within a Specific Plan area.

The Project will be responsible for extending existing utility infrastructure to the Project site.

Policy HE 1.4 Provide development standards and incentives to facilitate a range of housing, such as single-family dwellings, apartments, senior housing, and other housing types in rural, suburban and urban settings.

The Project is a smaller lot subdivision, providing a unique lot size to the area. The Project includes nine affordable housing units at the very-low- income level.
Policy C-1.1 Require roadways to: Comply with federal, state and local design and safety standards.

The TTM proposes improvements for roadways, including Palomar Road, which are consistent with the City’s General Plan and the City’s Public Works and Engineering Department Standard Details. Additionally, the internal tract streets will be privately maintained.
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.

The Project will include enhancements at the entry off Palomar Road including decorative pavers, landscaped median, entry identification sign along with dedicated amenities for the residents of the tract including a recreation center, linear paseo and tot lot. The conceptual landscape plan includes the entire tract to provide a consistent and unique landscape plan for the entire community.

Finding 2 - The site is physically suitable for the type of development and the proposed land use of the development.

The site is bound by residential development to the north and west, vacant land to the east and commercial uses to the south. The site is relatively flat and is suitable for residential tract development, while also being compatible with surrounding land uses. Additionally, the site has been designed to be physically suitable to accommodate the development with the proposed number of lots as well as all other proposed improvements. Therefore, the site is considered physically suitable for the type of development and the proposed land use of the site.

The Project has been reviewed by the land development departments to ensure compliance with applicable regulations, including, but not limited to City of Menifee Community Development, Engineering and Public Works, and the Office of the Fire Marshal. These Departments have also provided conditions of approval as appropriate to ensure compliance with applicable regulations.

Finding 3 - The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat:

The City of Menifee has two active conservation plans within the City’s boundary, the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP), and the Stephen’s Kangaroo Rat Habitat Conservation Plan (SKR-HCP). The subject site is within the jurisdiction of the SKR-HCP and the Western Riverside County MSHCP. The Project site is located inside the SKR-HCP (Dipodomys stephensi) Fee Area. The proposed Project is located within the boundaries of the Western Riverside County MSHCP; however, the Project is not located within a Criteria Cell or Cell Group. The biology report prepared for this Project notes the Project’s consistency with the findings of the MSHCP. The Project will be subject to the payment of fees consistent with MMC Chapter 17.03 as adopted by the City of Menifee. Therefore, the Project will not conflict with the provisions of the adopted HCP, Natural Conservation Community Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state conservation plan and the impact is considered less than significant.

A memorandum and technical studies were prepared pursuant to Section 15183 (“Projects Consistent with a Community Plan or Zoning”) which concludes that further environmental analysis is not necessary as the Project is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Code and was previously analyzed in the General Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR), therefore the City of Menifee has determined that no further environmental analysis is required and the Project is not likely to cause significant environmental impacts and will avoid injuries to fish or wildlife and their habitat.

Finding 4 - The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems.

The public health, safety and general welfare are protected through Project design, conditions of approval. The site is bounded by residential developments to the north and west, vacant land to the east and commercial uses to the south.

The Project has been reviewed and conditioned by the City of Menifee Community Development, Engineering, and Police Departments, and the Office of the Fire Marshal to ensure that it will not create conditions materially detrimental to the surrounding uses, nor will be detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare or incompatible with other properties or land uses in the Project vicinity.

Finding 5 - The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision, or the design of the alternate easements which are substantially equivalent to those previously acquired by the public will be provided.

The subdivision makes provisions for all existing and future easements for all utilities and public use purposes. Therefore, no conflicts with easements will occur with the design of the subdivision. A substantial Item Title: 11.1

Section 2: The City of Menifee’s City Council hereby makes the following findings for PP No. PLN24-0254 in accordance with Title 9, Article 2, Chapter

9.80.070 “Findings for Approval” of the MMC:

Finding 1 - The proposed project is consistent with the adopted General Plan and any applicable specific plan.

The Project site has a General Plan Land Use and Zoning designation of Specific Plan (SP); and more specifically, the project is located within PA 7A and 7B of SP No. 260. According to the SP, the combination of the two planning areas has a target residential density of 172 total dwelling units or 6.32 dwelling units per acre (Medium or Medium-High Density).

Pursuant to MMC Section 9.180 and California Government Code Section 65915, the Project seeks to utilize California’s State DBL by including affordable housing units. As part of the proposed Project’s commitment to affordable housing, nine units (5% of the base density) would be reserved for very low-income households, qualifying the proposed Project for benefits under DBL. These benefits could include a 20% density bonus, development standard waivers or reductions, one concession/incentive, and the use of State Density Bonus parking ratios as permitted under the City of Menifee Development Code Chapter 9.180.

The Project applicant proposes to subdivide the 27.35-acre site into 192 single-family residential lots, resulting in an overall proposed density of

7.02 dwelling units per acre, utilizing 12% density bonus.

The proposed Project is consistent with the General Plan, Specific Plan and California Government Code Section 65915 and the California State Density Bonus Law.

Finding 2 - The proposed project meets all applicable standards for development and provisions of this Title.

iv. If fossil remains are encountered by earthmoving activities when the project paleontologist is not onsite, these activities will be diverted around the fossil site and the project paleontologist called to the site immediately to recover the remains.
v. If fossil remains are encountered, fossiliferous rock will be recovered from the fossil site and processed to allow for the recovery of smaller fossil remains. Test samples may be recovered from other sampling sites in the rock unit if appropriate.
vi. Any recovered fossil remains will be prepared to the point of identification and identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible by knowledgeable paleontologists. The remains then will be curated (assigned and labeled with museum* repository fossil specimen numbers and corresponding fossil site numbers, as appropriate; places in specimen trays and, if necessary, vials with completed specimen data cards) and catalogued, an associated specimen data and corresponding geologic and geographic site data will be archived (specimen and site numbers and
corresponding data entered into appropriate museum repository catalogs and computerized data bases) at the museum repository by a laboratory technician. The remains will then be accessioned into the museum* repository fossil collection, where they will be permanently stored, maintained, and, along with associated specimen and site data, made available for future study by qualified scientific investigators.
vii. The City of Menifee must be consulted on the repository/museum to receive the fossil material prior to being curated.
viii. A qualified paleontologist shall prepare a report of findings made during all site grading activity with an appended itemized list of fossil specimens recovered during grading (if any). This report shall be submitted to the Planning Division for review and approval prior to building final inspection as described elsewhere in these conditions.

38.Burrowing Owl Pre-Construction Survey. The Project Developer shall retain a qualified biologist to conduct a pre-construction survey for Burrowing Owl within 30 days prior to the start of construction. The results of the single one-day survey would be submitted to the City prior to obtaining a grading permit. If Burrowing Owl are not detected during the pre-construction survey, no further mitigation is required. If Burrowing Owl are detected during the pre-construction survey, the Project applicant and a qualified consulting biologist will be required to prepare and submit for approval a Burrowing Owl relocation program.

39. Nesting Bird Pre-Construction Survey. Prior to vegetation clearance, the Project applicant shall retain a qualified biologist to conduct a pre-construction nesting bird survey in accordance with the following:
a. The final walkover survey shall be conducted no more than three (3) days prior to the initiation of clearance/construction work; b. If pre-construction surveys indicate that bird nests are not present or are inactive, or if potential habitat is unoccupied, no further mitigation is required;
c. If active nesting birds are found during the surveys, a species-specific no-disturbance buffer zone shall be established by a qualified biologist around active nests until a qualified biologist determines that all young have fledged (i.e., no longer reliant upon the nest).
d. It is recommended that close coordination between the developer of the site, the City of Menifee, the project engineer, and the consulting qualified biologist to consider vegetation clearance outside of the normal bird nesting season (usually February 1 – August 31) to avoid impacts to nesting birds which would potentially violate the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. It should be noted that bird nesting season is increasingly less-definitive for some year-round resident species such as hummingbirds and raptors. Further, ground-dwelling birds such as burrowing owls, can be affected nearly any time of the year if present. It is therefore advisable to conduct a preconstruction bird survey no matter the time of year.
e. Removal of vegetation necessitates installation of appropriate Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan “SWPPP” measures, particularly if development subsequent to grading is not undertaken immediately, therefore careful timing of the project schedule and implementation measures is necessary to avoid water quality impacts.

The following are the Public Works / Engineering Department Conditions of Approval for this project which shall be satisfied at no cost to the City or any other Government Agency. All questions regarding the intent of the following conditions shall be referred to the Public Works Engineering Department, Land Development Section. The developer / property owner shall use the standards and design criteria stated in the following conditions and shall comply with all applicable City of Menifee standards and ordinances. Should a conflict arise between City of Menifee standards and design criteria, and any other standards and design criteria, those of the City of Menifee shall prevail.

Tentative Tract Map 39115 is a 192 residential lot subdivision with 2 open space park areas. The map is not phased; therefore, all public improvements will be required in one construction phase prior to any issuance of occupancies. If the developer chooses to phase the subdivision map, the phasing of the public improvements will be considered, and the applicable conditions will be updated.

It is understood that the tentative tract map must correctly show acceptable centerline elevations, all existing easements, traveled ways, cross sections, and drainage courses with appropriate drainage flows.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Review and discuss the City of Menifee’s fire protection, fire prevention, rescue and emergency medical services provided by Riverside County Fire Department/CAL FIRE through a Cooperative Agreement.

DISCUSSION
In response to a future agenda item request from the City Council on April 2, 2025, a review of the City of Menifee’s fire services was presented for discussion at the September 17, 2025, City Council meeting. The presentation included a review of the Cooperative Agreement between the City of Menifee and the County of Riverside (Cooperative Agreement) for fire protection and fire marshal services including costs, calls for service, City fire infrastructure investments, aid agreements, and assistance given/received under the Cooperative Agreement.

Lastly, staff presented information regarding fire service models and options for consideration including:
Continued discussion with Riverside County/CAL FIRE regarding the disproportionate level of fire services provided by the City of Menifee to neighboring communities and ways to spread contract costs more equitably between jurisdictions; and Consideration of alternatives to contracted fire services:
oMunicipal Fire Department
oFire Protection District
oJoint Powers Authority (JPA)
Citing concerns regarding the disproportionate level of services provided by Menifee to neighboring communities, the Council provided direction to staff to continue discussions with Item Title: 12.1

Riverside County/CAL FIRE in the effort to find a resolution. City staff were asked to provide an update after a period of 60 days. If it is determined that meaningful progress has not been made in addressing the equitable distribution of services between jurisdictions operating under the Cooperative Agreement City Council may seek to complete a feasibility study to evaluate alternative fire service delivery options.

Discussions with Riverside County/CAL FIRE
Following the September 17 City Council meeting, staff engaged in further dialog with the Riverside County/CAL FIRE executive management team. Discussions were held to address the disproportionate level of fire service provided by the City of Menifee as compared to surrounding communities under the existing service model. During these discussions, the leadership teams from both Riverside County and CAL FIRE affirmed their commitment to providing fire protection service equitably across Riverside County Fire Department’s service area.

Riverside County/CAL FIRE executive management issued a letter (Letter) on November 14, 2025, attached for review, in response to the concerns raised by the City Council at the September 17, 2025, meeting. The Letter specifically details the Standards of Coverage and Community Risk Assessment currently underway, offers additional data to provide greater context for the imbalance in Menifee’s fire response within and outside of the City, and provides updates on planned fire system improvements in Perris and Wildomar.

Standards of Coverage and Community Risk Assessment
Set for completion in the second quarter of 2026, the comprehensive Standards of Coverage and Community Risk Assessment, conducted by Citygate Associates, will provide data and recommendations on services, including (but not limited to) the following key areas of concern for the City:
Service delivery analysis (including population and development growth projections) Cost allocation methodologies for the entire County
Current station locations and future station consideration Distribution and deployment of apparatus/vehicles
Community expectations and performance goals
Review of historical system performance
The Assessment also includes stakeholder engagement with input from each city/agency receiving service under the Cooperative Agreement to gain a comprehensive understanding of the communities served and the operational, economic, and policy issues at hand.

Assistance Given/Received - Neighboring Cities
The Letter includes tables which offer additional data to provide context for the disproportionate response levels between Menifee and Perris in Fiscal Year (FY) 2023/24 and FY 2024/25. The first set of comparison tables illustrates a significant rebalancing of mutual aid response volume between the Cities of Perris and Menifee. In FY 2023/24, Menifee's fire department provided service to Perris for 462 more calls than Perris provided to Menifee. This disparity was substantially reduced in FY 2024/25, where Menifee responded to 148 more calls into Perris, a change attributed to the City of Perris purchasing a medic squad.

A second set of comparison tables indicates the gap in response hours between Menifee and Perris in FY 2023/24 (153.4 additional response hours in Perris) narrowed to 45.6 hours in FY 2024/25.

In addition, the Letter references the progress the City of Perris has made regarding plans for the new South Perris fire station no.105, which will be located at 2495 Murrieta Rd. The City has approved the design and acquired the land for the new station. At the November 18, 2025, Council meeting, the Perris City Council approved the fire station financing plan. At that same meeting, the Perris City Council also approved establishment of a temporary fire station in South Perris at 3012 Sawmill Drive to alleviate the call burden on the Menifee stations until construction of the permanent South Perris station is completed. Lastly, the Letter indicates that discussions with the City of Wildomar staff are ongoing regarding future planning for a station that will serve the east side of the City.

As a next step, there are several options that could be considered:
Option 1: Given continued progress made by the City of Perris’ to establish a new fire station to serve South Perris (relieving pressure on fire stations based in the City of Menifee), the ongoing discussions between Riverside County Fire and the City of Wildomar regarding future fire station planning, and the County’s Standards of Cover and Community Risk Assessment process that is underway, the City Council may want to consider deferring commencement of a feasibility study to evaluate alternative fire service delivery models until the Citygate Assessment is completed (summer of 2026). This study will provide additional information that can be used to inform next steps. Option 2: Alternatively, the City Council may consider concluding the mediation process between the City of Menifee and the City of Perris prior to considering the initiation of a feasibility study to evaluate alternative fire service delivery models. It is anticipated that the mediation process will conclude by February, allowing for a fire services discussion item to be brought back for City Council consideration in early 2026. Option 3: City staff is prepared to initiate a Request for Proposals (RFP) process for a fire services feasibility study at a future date, subject to the City Council’s direction.

STRATEGIC PLAN OBJECTIVE
Safe and Vibrant Community

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action. Upon request, City staff will initiate an RFP process bringing forward an agreement for completion of fire services feasibility study including the associated fiscal impact.
