This Project is designed as a complete, all-inclusive solution to ensure reliable performance, smooth implementation, and consistent network security over the long term. It would replace outdated firewall equipment at City facilities where upgrades are needed. The Project includes the following:
• Hardware: Acquisition of firewall appliances.
• Security & Support: Security bundles for all units, along with premium technical support to ensure continuous operation and access to the latest threat intelligence. • Professional Implementation: To guarantee a seamless transition and optimal configuration, the contract includes professional implementation services and expert project management.

By bundling these requirements into a single five-year agreement for a one-time cost, the City locks in costs for the entire term, ensuring budget certainty. This investment provides a stable, long-term security posture that will remain fully supported through June 2031.

Pursuant to the City of Menifee Code of Ordinances Title 3.12.130(19), the acquisition of information technology equipment and services is exempt from standard bidding requirements, as selection is instead based on specific evaluation criteria to ensure the best value for the City.

Despite this exemption, City staff proactively solicited quotes from three different vendors utilizing cooperative purchasing agreements to demonstrate financial responsibility and ensure the City received the most competitive pricing. These results are summarized in Table 1 below.

TABLE 1 – FIREWALL QUOTES

Palo Alto $397,575.60 N/A
SHI $532,218.79 OMNIA #2024056-02
Following this evaluation, MNJ Technologies was selected for providing the lowest solicitation of $299,508.70 through the OMNIA No. 01-148 Cooperative Agreement. This proactive solicitation confirms that the selected solution offers the best value while maintaining the City's commitment to due diligence in its procurement.

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Short-list Extensions and Agreement Amendments for On- Call Services for the Public Works Engineering and Capital Improvement Program Divisions for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 MEETING DATE: June 3, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Kristen Jensen, Financial Analyst
REVIEWED BY: Nick Fidler, Public Works Director
APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Approve the extension of the On-Call Short Lists for the Public Works Engineering and Capital Improvement Program divisions through June 30, 2027; and

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute amendments to Master Agreements for Professional On-Call Services with the qualified firms established on the approved On-Call Short Lists for the Public Works Engineering and Capital Improvement Program Divisions, extending all agreements through June 30, 2027, and increasing the not-to-exceed amount for agreements as needed for Fiscal Year 2026/2027; and

3. Authorize the Finance Department to issue purchase orders on an as-needed basis in the aggregate of the not-to-exceed amount of the amended agreements.

DISCUSSION
Background
The Public Works Land Development Engineering (Engineering) Division is responsible for processing and approving developer submittals for private residential, commercial, and industrial developments. Processing of submittals often requires that multiple plan checks and field inspections be performed to comprehensively review all aspects of a project’s proposed onsite and offsite improvements and engineering studies.

The Public Works Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Division is responsible for the planning, design, and implementation of public infrastructure improvement projects throughout the City. CIP projects require the support of technical and specialized professional services to move a project through all phases from concept to construction completion. These services include, but are not Item Title: 10.16

limited to, environmental assessments, design services, labor compliance, right-of-way acquisition, grant management and materials testing. CIP is currently implementing 59 projects in various active phases of planning, design, construction, and close-out with currently approved budgets totaling over $114M for capital improvement projects.

Both divisions rely on support from professional service firms to provide technical review and expert assistance for delivering safe, compliant, and well-planned projects. In 2022, the Engineering and CIP divisions administered separate formal Request for Qualification (RFQ) processes to establish approved short-lists of qualified firms in various categories of on-call professional services. As a result of the RFQ solicitations, short-lists were approved by City Council for Engineering on August 17, 2022, and for CIP on September 21, 2022. The approved short-lists are included as attachments to this report and were established for use through the end of Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/2026.

In an effort to streamline processes and ensure the highest and best use of available resources, City Council also approved the use of a multi-year Master Agreement for Professional On-Call Services (Agreement) on June 21, 2023, to be utilized by both Engineering and CIP divisions with pre-qualified professional service firms. The Agreement was previously approved as to form by the City Council and the City Attorney’s Office and contain provisions stating that the continuance of the Agreement is contingent on the allocation of funding in the City’s annual budget and allow for termination without breach if no funding or insufficient funding is allocated for the Agreement each year. The Agreement also contains provisions to prevent unlawful awards of contracts and purchase orders.

Due to the volume and complexity of Engineering and CIP projects and given the time required to effectively establish new short-lists for on-call services, staff is requesting to extend the currently approved short-lists for both Engineering and CIP for 12 months through June 30, 2027.

Approval of this request would allow continuity of project support with on-call firms currently assigned to support ongoing project tasks. Approval would also allow staff the time required to properly notice and prepare new RFQs for each division, solicit, evaluate responses, and ultimately establish new short-lists for on-call services for each division effective July 1, 2027.

This extension request would also allow staff to assess additional on-call service needs to included in a future RFQ and align work planning for future on-call professional service budget needs with the FY 2027/2028 and 2028/2029 biennial budget development process.

Master Agreement Amendments
Term Extensions
Engineering previously issued 16 on-call Agreements and CIP issued 19 Agreements for pre- qualified firms included on the respective division’s approved on-call short-list. The terms for all Agreements issued are currently set to expire on June 30, 2026. In concert with the requested extension of the short-lists themselves, staff is proposing that all approved short-list firms’ Agreements also be amended to reflect a term ending date of June 30, 2027.

Compensation Adjustments
Staff evaluated all existing Agreements to determine if the current compensation not-to-exceed (NTE) amount of each Agreement was expected to be sufficient to support anticipated work through FY 2026/2027. Evaluations included estimating needs upon the type of service to be provided, the historical use of each service, and the anticipated future need for services required based on the types of project tasks expected through June 30, 2027. Based on those reviews, additional amendments to total Agreement NTE compensation amounts are being requested for seven on-call firms supporting the Engineering Division. All other Engineering Agreements, and all CIP related Agreements, are expected to have sufficient capacity to provide services within their current NTE amounts.

A summary of firms, type of service(s) provided, proposed term extension, and any proposed adjustments to NTE amounts for on-call services Agreements are provided in Table No. 1 for Engineering and Table No. 2 for CIP, below. It is important to note that amounts shown in the Full Term NTE Amount column in both tables represent the proposed NTE compensation amount for the full four-year of term of each Agreement.

Effective January 1, 2026, new State requirements approved through Assembly Bill 339 (AB339) established that local agencies are required to notify union representatives at least 45 days in advance of issuing a request for proposals, request for quotes, or renewing or extending an existing contract for services that fall within the scope of work of represented employees.

AB339 also establishes notification exemptions for certain public works contracts and agreements related to the provision of architecture or engineering related service. In an effort to ensure full compliance with AB339 and in the spirit of transparency, notification of all on-call service Agreement amendments requested through this agenda item were provided to the employee association representatives by the Human Resources Department on April 8, 2026. The 45-day notification period was met as of May 23, 2026.

Sample Agreement amendment forms were prepared, reviewed by the City Attorney’s office, and provided to the employee association as part of the AB339 notification package. Upon approval of this item, those same forms, attached as Sample A Template for term extensions only and Sample B Template for term extensions with compensation adjustments, would be used to amend the Engineering and CIP Agreements discussed above.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no additional fiscal impact associated with item. Funding for the Engineering Division’s proposed Agreement Amendments is included in the previously approved FY 2026/2027 Operating Budget and costs associated with work performed under the Agreements would be offset by developer fees and deposits collected for each specific project and type of review.

Funding for the CIP Division’s proposed Agreement Amendments would be supported by specific project budgets established through the approved FY 2025-2030 Capital Improvement Program document for all fiscal years.

It is important to note that purchase orders would only be issued for services under the amended Agreements after confirmation of budget availability and for amounts within the NTE amounts approved through this item by the City Council.

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Agreement Amendment with Flock Safety Group, Inc. for Pan- Tilt-Zoom Cameras
MEETING DATE: June 3, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Christine Booker, Budgets & Grants Analyst REVIEWED BY: David Gutierrez, Police Chief
APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Master Services Agreement with Flock Group, Inc. dba Flock Safety Services for four additional cameras and implementation services, increasing the total compensation amount by $60,600 through Fiscal Year 2027/2028; and

2. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to approve the two optional one-year renewal terms for Fiscal Years 2028/2029 and 2029/2030 in an amount not-to-exceed $20,000 per year.

DISCUSSION
The Menifee Police Department is seeking to amend the existing service contract with Flock Safety to add four live-view cameras equipped with full pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) capabilities. The requested live view cameras are solar powered and wirelessly connected, allowing for flexible deployment and mobility as service demands and enforcement priorities evolve. Additionally, the cameras can be mounted in a variety of locations, providing increased versatility and expanded functionality within the City’s existing Flock camera network. The proposed camera locations would be strategically selected based on crime trends and collision data to maximize operational effectiveness and enhance public safety efforts throughout the City.

The Menifee Police Department originally entered into a Service Contract with Flock Group, Inc. in January 2021. The initial agreement and subsequent amendments established a network of twenty-five flock falcon cameras, and four live view cameras. While the requested cameras would be accessible to appropriate Police Department staff, their greatest value would be as a resource for the Real-Time Information Center. When a call for service occurs near one of these locations, staff would be able to view the cameras in real time and relay critical information to responding Item Title: 10.17

units as events unfold, thereby enhancing both officer and community safety. In addition, the cameras would support investigative efforts through a 30-day data retention period. The system would be used strictly for legitimate law enforcement purposes, and cameras would not be placed in areas where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy.

The proposed amendment includes a one-time implementation service fee of $600 and a recurring annual fee of $20,000 per year for the remainder of the three-year contract term, totaling in an additional investment of $60,600. The cost structure includes a heavily discounted one-time implementation fee and a locked-in annual rate for the duration of the agreement.

Per City Council’s previous action, the original agreement includes two optional one-year renewal terms. This amendment establishes a fixed annual rate of $20,000 for each of those renewal periods, covering Fiscal Years 2028/29 and 2029/30. Establishing this pricing now provides the City with cost certainty and secures a total extension cost of $40,000 for the optional two-year period. Should the renewal options be exercised, the associated annual costs would be included in the proposed budgets for the applicable fiscal years.

STRATEGIC PLAN OBJECTIVE
Safe and Vibrant Community

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact for this amendment is $60,600 over the remaining contract term. This brings the total contract value for the service period to $423,100. Table 1 below reflects the total per fiscal year.

Budgeted Amount
FY2023/24 $72,500 $0 $72,500
FY2024/25 $72,500 $0 $72,500
FY2025/26 $72,500 $20,600 $93,100
FY2026/27 $72,500 $20,000 $92,500
FY2027/28 $72,500 $20,000 $92,500
TOTAL $362,500 $60,600 $423,100

The initial implementation fee ($600) and the first year of additional service ($20,000) are accounted for in the current fiscal cycle under Software/Subscriptions within the IT Fund (1110- MPD-651353). FY 2026/27 term is included in the previously adopted budget and the subsequent fiscal year (FY 2027/28), will be budgeted accordingly during the next biennial cycle.

The future fiscal impact for this item includes $40,000 in annual service fees for the optional two- year extension. This pricing represents the City's cost should it choose to exercise the two-year renewal for FY 2028/29 and FY 2029/30. If these options are utilized, the $20,000 annual fee will be incorporated into the proposed budgets for those respective years.

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Public Improvement Agreement and Bonds for Tract Map 36658, Cimarron Ridge, by Pulte Home Company, LLC.

MEETING DATE: June 3, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Amanda Backlund, Associate Engineer
REVIEWED BY: Nick Fidler, Public Works Director
APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Public Improvement Agreement to guarantee completion of the required improvements associated with Tentative Tract Map 36658, Cimarron Ridge, by Pulte Home Company, LLC, located on Valley Boulevard between McCall Boulevard and Chambers Avenue.

DISCUSSION
Tract Map 36658 (TM 36658), also known as Cimarron Ridge (Project), was approved by the City Council on October 21, 2015, and consists of the subdivision of approximately 240.3 gross acres into 756 single-family residential lots and 111 lots for park, landscape, monument sign, drainage, and storm drain purposes.

On January 22, 2025, the City Council approved the third amendment to the Development Agreement, which requires the Pulte Home Company, LLC, a Michigan Limited Liability Company (Developer), to construct an approximately 730-foot segment of Valley Boulevard between Chambers Avenue and McCall Boulevard, commonly referred to as the “Missing Link,” by December 31, 2025. The improvements include an interim roadway configuration matching the existing roadway section south of McCall Boulevard, consisting of a 32-foot-wide roadway with 8- inch asphalt concrete berms on both sides. Sidewalks are not included as part of the interim improvements. In addition, the Developer has proposed roadway striping and associated traffic signage to extend connectivity from the Missing Link improvements north to Thornton Avenue.

Pursuant to the third amendment to the Development Agreement, the City was responsible for acquiring the right-of-way necessary to complete the Valley Boulevard roadway connection between Chambers Avenue and McCall Boulevard. To facilitate the improvement, the City implemented the Valley Boulevard Widening and Missing Links Project (CIP Project No. 22-02), which addresses the roadway gap north of the intersection of Valley Boulevard and McCall Item Title: 10.18

Boulevard. In accordance with the Development Agreement with the Developer, the City acquired approximately 92,051 square feet of vacant land (APN 335-080-013) from McCall Senior 37, LLC through a right-of-way acquisition authorized by the City Council on November 9, 2025. The acquisition establishes roadway connectivity between Chambers Avenue and McCall Boulevard and allows the Developer to complete the required roadway and frontage improvements.

The third amendment also provides that if delays occur in acquiring the required right-of-way, the completion deadline for the roadway improvements may be extended by the City for a reasonable period of time. Additional delays associated with the Project included coordination between the Developer and Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) for installation of waterline utilities within the improvement area. In addition, the adjacent parcel formerly owned by McCall Senior 37, LLC was acquired by the Menifee Union School District in April 2026, and a temporary construction easement is currently being processed between the School District and the Developer.

The Developer is now requesting approval of a Public Improvement Agreement (Agreement) and bonds as required by the third amendment to the Development Agreement. The Agreement requires that improvement bonds be posted to guarantee the completion of the required improvements within 12 months from the City Council approval date of the Agreement.

Staff have reviewed the Developer’s request and determined that the Agreement meets the requirements of the Valley Boulevard Improvements. A summary of the bond being posted to guarantee the required improvements is shown in Table 1 below.

Total $270,000 $270,000

STRATEGIC PLAN OBJECTIVE
Safe and Vibrant Community

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action. The Developer has paid all necessary fees associated with review of the Agreement and bonds. Upon completion of the improvements, and subsequent acceptance by the City, ongoing maintenance costs for the improvements would be supported through future fiscal year budgets in maintenance Community Facilities District 2017-1 Annexation 22, Zone 22.

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Notice of Completion and Acceptance of the Parks and Facility Multi-Use Building Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Project No. 22-11

TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Nancy Rodriguez, Management Analyst II
REVIEWED BY: Mariana Mitchell, Community Services Director APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Accept the improvements for the Parks and Facility Multi-Use Building Project CIP No. 22-11 located at 28349 Bradley Road; and

2. Authorize the City Clerk to file a Notice of Completion with the Riverside County Recorder’s Office.

DISCUSSION
The Community Services Department, Parks, and Facilities Division is comprised of 18 full-time staff members and several part-time employees, as listed below. •Parks and Landscape Maintenance Manager (1)
•Parks/Landscape Field Supervisor (1)
•Facilities Field Supervisor (1)
•Senior Park/Landscape Maintenance Worker (2)
•Senior Facilities Maintenance Worker (1)
•Facilities Maintenance Worker I/II (1)
•Park/Landscape Maintenance Worker I/II (9)
•Park Ranger (2)
•PT Maintenance Attendants
The team currently maintains 14 facilities, 22 parks, and more than 7,000,000 square feet of right- of-way landscaping. As these maintenance roles work primarily in the field without dedicated office space, and as the team has more than doubled over the past six years, to accommodate needs of a growing Citywide parks system and new City facilities, the need to provide a locker Item Title: 10.21

room facility has become paramount. Locker rooms provides secure storage for personal belongings, space to store PPE and other specialized gear, uniform exchanges, while also meeting OSHA safety requirements. Lastly, locker rooms provide space to store, change into, and swap out city issued uniforms such as shirts, pants, boots, jackets, hats, and etc.

CIP Project No. 22-11 Parks and Facility Multi-Use Trailers Project (Project) was approved for the purchase of a prefabricated building to be located in the Fire Station 7 lot. Having access to the locker rooms would provide staff with a place to change before and after their shift as well as store their personal items and working tools.

On February 18, 2026, the City executed an agreement with CO Brothers LLC for the installation of water, sewer, and electrical utilities to two 10’x30’ modular locker room trailers previously purchased by the City for a total not exceeding $98,360. No change orders were necessary for this project. The final construction cost for the project was $98,360.

Filing a Notice of Completion (NOC) protects the City from future claims against the project by providing proper notification to each contractor, subcontractor, and material supplier that the project has been completed. The payment bond (Labor and Materials Bond) and performance bond will be released 30 days following the date of the NOC recordation, provided no stop notices are filed preventing said releases.

STRATEGIC PLAN OBJECTIVE
Regular City Business

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the acceptance of the improvements related to the project. All costs to complete the project were supported within the previously approved CIP budget.

Appeal No. PLN26-0056
Foothill Arch, LLC filed an appeal on the Planning Commission’s approval on April 8, 2026, of TPM No. 39000 (PLN26-0037), PP No. PLN 24-0118, and CUP No. PLN25-0112. The appeal asserts that components of the Project (as outlined below), including the traffic and environmental analysis, were not adequately analyzed/addressed.

Summary of Appeal Issues and Responses
Traffic Analysis
The Appellant contends that the Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) understates potential traffic impacts by relying on trip generation assumptions that do not fully reflect the intensity of the proposed restaurant and drive-through uses. The Appellant further argues that higher trip generation estimates were identified but not fully incorporated into the operational analysis, resulting in an incomplete evaluation of traffic circulation, roadway operations, and potential impacts. Additionally, the appeal asserts that the City did not adequately evaluate whether a traffic signal is warranted at the proposed Newport Road driveway, thereby raising concerns related to public safety and access operations.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Concerns
The Appellant also argues that the IS/MND does not adequately analyze safety and environmental impacts associated with the Project. Specifically, the appeal asserts that higher restaurant-related traffic volumes could result in increased traffic conflicts, congestion, and vehicle emissions, potentially resulting in impacts greater than those identified in the IS/MND. Based on these concerns, the Appellant contends that the IS/MND is not supported by substantial evidence and therefore does not comply with the requirements of CEQA.

Combined Response to the Two Concerns Above
The approved TIA adequately evaluates the potential transportation impacts associated with the proposed mixed-use Project and was prepared consistently with accepted traffic engineering methodologies, City TIA Guidelines, and applicable industry standards. The trip generation forecast was calculated using land use assumptions appropriate for a neighborhood commercial center consisting of retail, restaurant, and daycare uses. The analysis also conservatively excluded internal trip capture between the proposed uses and surrounding residential neighborhoods, which would reasonably reduce external vehicle trips.

The TIA evaluated site circulation, driveway operations, intersection performance, and multimodal transportation conditions in accordance with established methodologies. The analysis concluded that the Project would not create significant traffic impacts requiring additional roadway improvements beyond those identified in the study.

With respect to the proposed Newport Road driveway, the driveway is designed as a right-in/right- out access point. Traffic signals are not typically installed at right-in/right-out driveways, and a signal warrant analysis is therefore not applicable under standard roadway design and access management practices. Similar access configurations currently exist along Newport Road and operate under comparable conditions.

The IS/MND also adequately analyzed air quality and greenhouse gas impacts based on the trip generation assumptions contained within the approved TIA. Staff and the City’s consultants determined that the alternative trip generation assumptions provided by the Appellant represent a substantially more conservative scenario than is typically applied to integrated commercial centers and do not account for internal capture characteristics commonly associated with mixed-use retail developments.

Foothill Arch LLC Original Comment Letter – Summary and Responses

1. Expansion of Traffic Study to Analyze Newport Road Driveway and Traffic Distribution The Appellant requested additional analysis regarding the interaction between the proposed Project driveway and the adjacent Archibald’s driveway along Newport Road. Based on the proposed circulation design and existing roadway configuration, staff and the City’s traffic consultant determined it is unlikely that a measurable volume of vehicles would utilize the proposed Project site to access eastbound Newport Road movements already available from the adjacent Archibald’s driveway. The circulation assumptions utilized in the TIA are therefore considered reasonable and supported by accepted engineering judgment.

2. Re-evaluation of Drive-Through Stacking Capacity
Although a specific coffee tenant has not been identified, the Project provides approximately 18 vehicle stacking spaces within the proposed drive-through lane. This exceeds typical operational requirements for comparable drive-through coffee retailers, including Starbucks, Dutch Bros, and Better Buzz. Additional on-site circulation space is also available to accommodate temporary peak demand conditions without affecting the public right-of-way.

3. Analysis of Trip Generation Assumptions
The alternative trip generation assumptions submitted by the Appellant would not materially change the conclusions of the TIA. The approved TIA utilizes conservative assumptions and does not include reductions associated with internal trip capture between complementary commercial uses. Furthermore, cumulative traffic projections incorporated into the analysis already reflect substantial future growth within the surrounding roadway network.

4. Air Quality Analysis
The Project’s Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas analyses were prepared using the trip generation assumptions contained within the approved TIA. Because the underlying trip generation assumptions remain appropriate and supported by the traffic analysis, revisions to the air quality analysis are not warranted. The City’s environmental consultant also concluded that cumulative traffic assumptions incorporated into the model already conservatively account for future traffic conditions.

5. Traffic Simulation Analysis Along Newport Road
The Appellant requested preparation of a traffic simulation analysis for Newport Road between Calle Pompeii and Menifee Road. The City’s traffic consultant concluded that the Item Title: 11.1

Highway Capacity Manual methodology utilized within the TIA provides a conservative analysis of driveway operations because it does not fully account for signal progression and traffic platooning effects created by nearby signalized intersections.

6. Analysis of Archibald’s Site Driveways
The TIA analyzed the operational characteristics of adjacent driveways, including the Archibald’s driveway along Menifee Road. While unsignalized right-in/right-out driveways along major arterials may experience delay during peak periods, these conditions are common along heavily traveled commercial corridors and do not, by themselves, indicate unsafe operations or significant impacts.

7. Signal Warrant Analysis
The driveway operational analysis was updated to reflect a single northbound right-turn lane configuration at the Newport Road driveway. Although delay values increased modestly, the overall conclusions of the analysis remained unchanged. Because the driveway is restricted to right-in/right-out operations, a signal warrant analysis is not considered applicable or appropriate.

Responses to RK Engineering Peer Review
Comment #1 – Trip Generation Methodology
RK Engineering asserted that the TIA underestimated Project traffic by applying generalized retail trip generation assumptions instead of evaluating individual restaurant and drive-through uses separately.

Staff and the City’s traffic consultant concluded that the alternative trip generation analysis provided by RK Engineering substantially overestimates Project traffic because it treats each land use as a stand-alone operation and does not account for internal trip capture typically associated with integrated neighborhood commercial centers. The approved methodology is consistent with accepted industry practice and reflects reasonable planning assumptions for this type of development.

Comment #2 – Trip Distribution and U-Turn Assumptions
RK Engineering questioned the Project’s trip distribution assumptions and the use of a future U- turn movement at Laguna Vista Road/Newport Road.

The Project trip distribution assumptions were reviewed and approved during the TIA scoping process and are supported by professional engineering judgment based on the surrounding transportation network. The future U-turn movement was included because the associated roadway improvements are tied to cumulative development assumptions included in the analysis. Staff also determined that a separate queuing analysis was not necessary because all Project driveways operate as right-in/right-out access points and are not anticipated to create queuing impacts within the public right-of-way.

Comment #3 – Newport Road Driveway Operations
RK Engineering asserted that the Newport Road driveway would operate at LOS F and that queuing impacts could affect internal site circulation.

Staff and the City’s traffic consultant acknowledge that unsignalized commercial driveways along heavily traveled arterials may experience periods of increased delay during peak traffic conditions.

However, this condition is common along Newport Road and does not constitute a significant transportation impact under applicable standards. The Project driveway is located in close proximity to signalized intersections that create periodic traffic gaps, which are expected to improve actual operating conditions beyond what is reflected in the conservative HCM methodology. Staff further concluded that the Project site contains sufficient on-site circulation and stacking capacity to avoid impacts to the public right-of-way.

Based on the evidence contained in the administrative record, including the TIA, IS/MND, peer review materials, consultant responses, and staff analysis, staff concludes that the appellant has not provided substantial evidence demonstrating that the Project’s environmental review or traffic analysis is inadequate under CEQA or City standards. Accordingly, staff recommends denial of the appeal and affirmation of the Planning Commission’s approval.

Environmental Determination
The Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PC26-681 adopting an IS/MND on April 8, 2026 determining that the Project will have no significant effect on the environment with incorporation of standard conditions of approval and mitigation measures (as listed in the IS/MND). A Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan (MMRP) was prepared and identifies all mitigation measures that will be required for the Project. Following the Project’s approval, a Notice of Determination (NOD) was filed with the Riverside County Clerk’s office on April 10, 2026 The IS/MND, as well as all its technical appendices, can be accessed for review on the City website:

Menifee Boardwalk – IS/MND
June 3, 2026
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Menifee, California makes the following findings as established by the CEQA:

Finding 1.The City Council finds on the basis of the evidence presented and the whole record before it, including the Draft IS/MND, which is attached hereto as Exhibit “A”, and any comments received, that there is no substantial evidence that the Project, as mitigated, will have a significant effect on the environment.

Finding 2. Consistency with Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP)

The City of Menifee has two active conservation plans within the City’s boundary, the Western Riverside County 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 MSHCP, Natural Conservation Community Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state conservation plan and the impact is considered less than significant.

Finding 3.The City Council finds the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) which is attached hereto as an appendix to Exhibit “B” and incorporated herein by reference, will assure compliance during project implementation.

Finding 4.The City Council finds the adoption of the IS/MND reflects the City Council’s independent judgment and analysis.

Finding 5.The IS/MND, all documents referenced in the MND, and the record of proceedings on which the City Council’s decision is based, are located at City of Menifee City Hall at 29844 Haun Road, Menifee, CA 92586 and the custodian of record of proceedings is the City of Menifee City Clerk.

Finding 6.The City Council adopts an IS/MND for the Project including, but not limited to, the MMRP as attached to the IS/MND.

Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 1 1 Introduction 1.1 California Environmental Quality Act Compliance The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) applies to proposed projects initiated by, funded by, or requiring discretionary approvals from state or local government agencies. An application for the proposed Menifee Boardwalk Project (the “Project”) has been submitted to the City of Menifee for discretionary review. CEQA Guidelines Section 15367 states that a “Lead Agency” is “the public agency which has the principal responsibility for carrying out or approving a project.” Therefore, the City of Menifee (the “City”) is the lead agency responsible for compliance with CEQA for the proposed Project. The City, as Lead Agency, has determined that proposed Project constitutes a project as defined by CEQA (California Public Resources Code [PRC], Section 21000 et seq.) and the preparation of an Initial Study is required. Based on the nature and scope of the proposed Project and the evaluation contained in the IS Environmental Checklist (contained herein), the City, as the lead agency, concluded that a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) is the proper level of environmental documentation for the proposed Project. This Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) evaluates potential environmental effects resulting from construction, implementation, and operation of the proposed Project. Based on the analysis provided within this IS/MND, the City has concluded that impacts caused by the proposed Project are either less than significant or significant but able to be reduced to less-than-significant levels with incorporation of appropriate mitigation measures included herein. This conclusion is supported by CEQA Guidelines Section 15070, which states that an MND can be prepared when “(a) the initial study shows that there is not substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before the agency, that the project may have a significant effect on the environment, or (b) the initial study identifies potentially significant effects, but (1) revisions in the project plans or proposals made by, or agreed to by the applicant, before a proposed mitigated negative declaration and initial study are released for public review would avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur; and (2) there is no substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before the agency, that the project as revised may have a significant effect on the environment.” This IS/MND is intended as an informational document and is ultimately required to be adopted by the decision makers prior to Project approval by the City. The City will prepare a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15074(d), which requires that a lead or responsible agency adopt a mitigation monitoring plan when approving or carrying out a project when an MND identifies measures to mitigate or avoid significant environmental effects. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program will be submitted with the Final IS/MND.

8. Surrounding land uses and setting: The City is located in the western portion of Riverside County, approximately 30 miles southeast of the City of Riverside. The Project Site and the surrounding vicinity are located within the Menifee Village Specific Plan (MVSP) Zone in the central-eastern portion of the City. The primary land uses within the MVSP are single-family residences and supporting development, including commercial, open space/park/recreation, and institutional land uses. Specific land uses in the surrounding vicinity include: North: parcels located across Newport Road developed with one- and two-story single-family residences and the Menifee Lakes Country Club 18-hole golf course. East: commercial development, including retail and restaurant land uses. South: parcels developed with one- and two-story single-family residences and Callie Kirkpatrick Elementary School. West: parcels developed with one- and two-story single-family residences. As shown in Figure 2-2, Project Site Aerial (provided at the end of Section 2), the Project Site is vacant and undeveloped. The Site is generally flat with elevations ranging from 1,433 to 1,437 feet above mean seal level. Surface drainage sheet flows from south to north toward Newport Road. The subsurface materials at the Site consist of topsoil underlain by dense, stiff, Quaternary alluvial deposits to depths of at least 30 feet below the ground surface. Vegetation on the Site consists of moderate amounts of annual weeds/grasses. 9. Description of Project: The Project is the construction and operation of a 38,560-square-foot commercial development and associated surface parking. The Project includes a request for approval of a Major Plot Plan (No. PLN24-0118), a Tentative Map (No. 39000), minor conditional use permit (No. PLN25-0112), and a Sign Program (No. PLN24-0148).

The Building 5 area would provide space for one childcare tenant and would include a 12,500 outdoor play yard. Building 5 would have a maximum height of 26 feet. Architectural Design The Project’s buildings would feature a modern architectural style characterized by clean lines, varied rooflines, and a balanced combination of materials and textures to create visual interest consistent with the architectural style components of the Menifee Village Specific Plan. Building facades would incorporate a mix of stucco finishes and horizontal siding accents with natural tones, complemented by stone veneer cladding at key entry points. Storefront systems would utilize large windows with aluminum framing to maximize natural light within tenant spaces and provide transparency to enhance visual connectivity between the interior and exterior. Design features such as projected metal canopies, accent trim, and enhanced corner treatments would be utilized to emphasize entry locations and add to the overall architectural character. The roof design includes a combination of flat and low-pitched parapet roofs with projecting canopies to provide shade and articulation along tenant entrances. Variations in wall planes, material transitions, and parapet heights are proposed to enhance depth and break up building massing in order to contribute to a more dynamic and pedestrian-friendly street presence. All roof-mounted mechanical equipment would be screened from the ground elevation view by architectural elements such as parapets. Landscaping The Project would provide a total of 37,954 square feet (0.87-acre) of onsite landscaped area (approximately 25 percent of the Project Site area) along the Site perimeter and throughout the parking areas, and 9,465 square feet of total offsite/public right-of-way landscaped area. Project landscaping would include a total of 145 trees, including 56 perimeter trees, 70 parking lot trees, and 19 street trees. Stormwater The Project would construct an underground detention basin for stormwater runoff. Surface runoff would sheet flow through concrete gutters to a network of grated inlets, which would drain to a proposed underground detention basin to store and treat runoff prior to discharge to an existing 60-inch public storm drain line in Newport Road. To provide runoff treatment, a Modular Wetland System (MWS) unit would be connected immediately downstream of the underground Item Title: 11.1

Access and Parking Primary vehicular access to the Site would be provided via one right-turn in/right-turn out only, unsignalized driveway along Newport Road (Project Driveway No. 1) with secondary access via one existing shared right-turn in/right-turn out only, unsignalized driveway along Menifee Road (Project Driveway No. 2) and reciprocal access easement along the southern boundary of the adjacent parcel to the east.1 Pedestrian access would be provided adjacent to the Site via existing sidewalks along the south side of Newport Road and the west side of Menifee Road. Bicycle access would be provided via the existing bike land along the west side of Menifee Road and along adjacent roadways and sidewalks accordingly. The Project would provide a total of 278 vehicle parking spaces, including 18 ADA van spaces. Vehicular parking spaces would also provide raceways for charging of electric vehicles in 55 spaces, 12 of which would be installed with charging stations, including four charging stations designated for ADA van spaces. The Project would also provide 16 bicycle racks and five bicycle lockers. Sign Program and Lighting The Project includes the Menifee Boardwalk Sign Program (Sign Program), which was designed to meet the intent of the Menifee Village Specific Plan. The Project’s Sign Program establishes comprehensive standards for property signage, ensuring consistent design, tenant identification, and effective wayfinding for both pedestrians and vehicles accessing amenities within the Project. Specifications within the Sign Program allow for the inclusion of tenant signage, building address signage, and regulatory signage. The Project also proposes the installation of a freestanding monument sign at the entrance to the Project Site from Newport Road. Prohibited signs include outdoor advertising (e.g., sandwich boards, flags, inflatables, etc.); temporary wall signs; window decorations; paper/cardboard/stickers/decals placed at the storefronts; signs which appear similar to traffic signs or signals; signs displaying indecent or unlawful activities; signs blocking ingress/egress or attached to items in the common area (e.g., standpipes, posts, etc.); advertising affixed to vehicles; roof signs/signs that project above the roofline; and any banner, pre-manufactured franchise signs, freestanding signs, or moving/flashing signs except as otherwise provided within the Sign Program. All signs visible through the windows of the premises would be subject to City codes, including painted, hanging or neon signs. The Sign Program requires that all signage proposed and allowed under the Sign Program to be consistent with the City of Menifee Municipal Code (MMC) Chapter 9.220 Sign Regulations, and their installation to comply with all applicable City building and electrical codes.

Aesthetics Greenhouse Gas Emissions Public Services Agriculture & Forestry Resources Hazards & Hazardous Materials Recreation Air Quality Hydrology / Water Quality Transportation Biological Resources Land Use / Planning Tribal Cultural Resources Cultural Resources Mineral Resources Utilities / Service Systems Energy Noise Wildfire Geology / Soils Population / Housing Mandatory Findings of Significance DETERMINATION (To be completed by the Lead Agency) On the basis of this initial evaluation: I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions on the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. I find the proposed project MAY have a “potentially significant impact” or “potentially significant unless mitigated” impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required.

Initial Study Checklist
Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 14 EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS 1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis). 2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as onsite, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. 3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less that significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4) "Negative Declaration: Less than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of a mitigation measure has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to "Less than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from "Earlier Analysis," as described in (5) below, may be cross referenced). 5) Earlier analysis must be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR, or negative declaration. Section 15063 (c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following: a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant With Mitigation Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project. 6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated 7) Supporting Information Sources: A sources list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8) This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project’s environmental effects in whichever format is selected. 9) The explanation of each issue should identify: a) The significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and b) The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance.

3.1 Aesthetics Potentially Significant Impact
Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated Less than Significant Impact No Impact Except as provided in Public Resources Code Section 21099, would the project: a. Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? b. Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? c. Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of public views of the site and its surroundings? (Public views are those that are experienced from publicly accessible vantage point). If the project is in an urbanized area, would the project conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality?

d. Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? a) Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? Less than Significant Impact. A scenic vista is a view from a public place, such as a roadway or designated scenic viewing spot, that is expansive and considered important to the community. It can be obtained from an elevated position (such as from the top of a hillside) or it can be seen from a roadway with a longer-range view of the landscape. An adverse effect would occur if a proposed project would block or otherwise damage the scenic vista upon implementation. According to the General Plan Community Design Element, the City’s image is largely determined by the quality of its long, straight corridors, which give motorists views of commercial areas, neighborhoods, the mountains, and adjoining hillside development. Newport Road is identified as Enhanced Landscape Corridors, which should receive special landscaping treatment to create a unique sense of identity and provide visual interest.2 As such, the Project is subject to applicable General Plan Policies CD-4.1 through CD-4.3 for Enhanced Landscape Corridors, which ensure unification of streetscape elements such as coordinated streetlights, landscaping, and signage; 2 City of Menifee, General Plan, Community Design Element, 2013, pages 1-2.

Initial Study Checklist
Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 16 allow for safer walkability and bicycling; and require special considerations at intersections and crosswalks. The planning standards established for the PA 2-11: Neighborhood Commercial Zone by the Menifee Village Specific Plan require commercial developments to include heavy landscaping and buffering along major streets; unifying elements such as paving patterns, entry features, signage, landscaping, and an architectural theme to visually tie commercial centers together and provide a unique appearance apart from other commercial centers; and the use of plant materials to screen parking areas and accessory structures from views of passing motorists and soften building edges and humanize commercial developments. The Project’s design, including its compliance with applicable requirements and standards for landscape and unifying elements established for the Site by the Menifee Village Specific Plan would be reviewed and approved by the City during the development review process prior to the issuance of a building permit. The City would have the ability to add conditions related to aesthetics to ensure compatibility with policies established for Newport Road as an Enhanced Landscape Corridor. As a result, the Project would not have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista and impacts would be less than significant. Mitigation Measures None required. b) Would the project substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? No Impact. There are no officially designated state scenic highways in the City. One highway, I-215, which runs north/south through the City approximately 0.8-mile west of the Project Site, has been identified as eligible for designation as a Riverside County scenic highway.3 However, due to distance and intervening development/landscaping, the Project Site is not visible from I-215 in the vicinity of the Site and the Project’s one-story buildings would not be distinguishable from the surrounding development from a distance. In addition, the Project Site does not contain scenic resources and would be required by the design guidelines established for the Menifee Village Specific Plan to screen views of parking areas and accessory structures from passing motorists. Accordingly, the Project would not have the potential to damage scenic resources within a scenic highway, including a state scenic highway. Therefore, no impact would occur. Mitigation Measures None required. 3 City of Menifee, General Plan, Community Design Element, 2013, Exhibit C-8: Scenic Highways.

Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 17 c) Would the project, in non-urbanized areas, substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of public views of the site and its surroundings? (Public views are those that are experienced from publicly accessible vantage point). If the project is in an urbanized area, would the project conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality? Less than Significant Impact. For purposes of CEQA, an “urbanized area” is defined by PRC Section 21071 as an incorporated city with a population of at least 100,000 persons (or a population of at least 100,000 persons when combined with not more than two contiguous incorporated cities) or an unincorporated area completely surrounded by incorporated cities and with a total population of more than 100,000 persons. The Project Site is located in the City of Menifee, which has a population of approximately 107,120 in 2022.4 Therefore, the following discussion focuses on whether the Project would conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality. The Project would develop commercial land uses consistent with the allowed uses established for the underlying land use designation and zoning, including the Menifee Village Specific Plan. The Project’s design, including all features and related to aesthetics such as landscaping, architectural elements, height, massing, materials, color palette, screening, paving elements, signage, and lighting are subject to the design guidelines established for the PA 2-11: Neighborhood Commercial Zone by the Menifee Village Specific Plan. The Project would include 10-foot landscape buffers between the Project and the residential development adjacent to the west as well as between the Project and the Callie Kirkpatrick Elementary School adjacent to the south. All roof-mounted equipment would be screened from view from the ground and accessory features such as trash collection bins would be enclosed within structures comprised of materials and colors compatible with the proposed commercial buildings. The proposed buildings would be articulated and finished with accents of varying material types and colors to enhance visual interest. Project lighting has been designed to match the decorative design of nearby commercial development to create a unifying appearance for the area. The Project’s design, including its compliance with applicable zooming requirements and standards would be reviewed and approved by the City during the development review process prior to the issuance of a building permit. The City would have the ability to add conditions related to aesthetics to ensure compatibility with policies established for the Site. As a result, the Project would not conflict with regulations governing the scenic quality of the City and impacts would be less than significant. Mitigation Measures None required. 4 California Department of Finance, source for SCAG’s 2023 Local Profiles Report Dataset, https://hub.scag.ca.gov/search?tags=local%2520profile.

Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 18 d) Would the project create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? Less than Significant Impact. The Project has prepared a photometric study (previously shown in Figure 2-4 in Section 2, Project Details) showing the location, quantity, type, and luminance of all fixtures proposed for the Project Site. According to the photometric plan, the Project would install pole-mounted security lights throughout the proposed parking areas and decorative wall-mounted sconces on building exteriors. All lighting consists of down-cast light-emitting diode (LED) fixtures with capabilities for precise determination of illuminated area. All exterior lighting associated with the Project would be required to comply with the requirements and prohibitions of Chapter 6.01 of the MMC to minimize light pollution into the night sky and onto adjacent properties. Accordingly, parking lot and exterior lights would be downward facing, shielded, and limited in brightness to prevent spillover onto adjacent properties while providing sufficient illumination to comply with safety requirements. As shown in the Project’s Photometric Study, there would be no light spillover beyond the boundaries of the Site. In addition, the landscape perimeter of the Project Site and surrounding properties would reduce light from vehicle headlights. Project building materials include concrete, metal, and glass. All metal components, including canopies and flashing, and glass would be of non-reflective finishes. In addition, as with sources of light, perimeter landscaping would shield any glare originating from the Project Site from offsite viewers. Based on the above, the Project would not create a new source of substantial light or glare. As such, impacts would be less than significant. Mitigation Measures None required. CUMULATIVE IMPACTS Visual Character/Quality The geographic scope for cumulative impacts to aesthetics and visual resources is limited to the Project viewshed, which primarily consists of immediately surrounding areas. Because the Project is not highly visible from public viewpoints or scenic vistas, would be constructed according to local policies regulating scenic quality, and is proposed for an area that currently contains similar development, it would not result in significant impacts to the visual environment. Although the proposed development intensity on the Project Site would be greater than existing conditions, the Project would be compatible in design and scale with the adjacent commercial land use. Proposed building design would be in conformance with the City’s standards for development on commercially-zoned sites. Similarly, cumulative projects would be required to comply with the MMC, General Plan, and other regulations governing scenic quality. The Project and cumulative projects would be subject to the City’s design review guidelines, which are intended to ensure Item Title: 11.1

Therefore, with adherence to design review guidelines and regulations governing scenic quality, the Project would not result in a cumulatively significant impact to aesthetics or scenic resources. Therefore, the proposed Project, in combination with the past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future projects, would result in less-than-significant cumulative impacts to aesthetics and visual resources. Light/Glare Build-out of cumulative development would contribute to the overall level of light and glare in the Project area. However, as with the Project, cumulative projects are distributed throughout an urbanized area with a high degree of existing nighttime illumination and additional glow from these projects is anticipated in the Menifee General Plan. Furthermore, all cumulative projects would be subject to the same requirements as the Project where exterior lighting and glare effects are possible, and this would be analyzed in a site-specific, separate environmental analysis for each project to determine impacts to light and glare and to mitigate them if they arise. As such, the Project’s contribution to cumulative impacts related to light and glare would be cumulatively less than significant.

No Impact. The Project would construct and operate a neighborhood-serving commercial development on a site that is zoned for neighborhood commercial uses and is surrounded by sites zoned for and developed with residential neighborhoods and other neighborhood-serving public services and commercial uses. Neither the Project Site nor the surrounding area are zoned for forest land, timberland, or Timberland Production. Therefore, the Project would not conflict with existing zoning or cause the rezoning of such land uses and no impact would occur. Mitigation Measures None required. d) Would the project result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? No Impact. The Project Site is currently undeveloped and contains only moderate amounts of annual weeds/grasses. No forest lands exist within the Project Site or vicinity; therefore, the Project would not result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest uses. No impact would occur. Mitigation Measures None required. e) Would the project involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest use?

3.3 Air Quality Potentially Significant Impact
Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated Less than Significant Impact No Impact Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management district or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations. Would the project: a. Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? b. Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard? c. Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? d. Result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people? The following analysis of impacts to air quality that could potentially occur as a result of construction or operation of the Project is primarily based on the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) modeling results for the Project’s construction and operational activities. The results of the CalEEMod emissions modeling are attached to this IS/MND as Appendix B. The Project is located within the City of Menifee in the portion of Riverside County that lies within the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB). The Project area is under the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The SCAB is a 6,600-square-mile coastal plain bounded by the Pacific Ocean to the southwest and the San Gabriel, San Bernardino, and San Jacinto Mountains to the north and east. The Basin includes the non-desert portions of Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties, and all of Orange County. Air Quality Standards and Attainment In May 2022, the SCAQMD completed the 2022 Draft AQMP. The 2022 Draft AQMP is focused on attaining the 2015 8-hour ozone standard (70 parts per billion [ppb]) for the South Coast Air Basin and Coachella Valley. The Draft 2022 AQMP builds upon measures already in place from previous AQMPs. It also includes a variety of additional strategies such as regulation, accelerated deployment of available cleaner technologies (e.g., zero emission technologies, when cost-effective and feasible, and low NOx technologies in other applications), best management practices, co-benefits from existing programs (e.g., Item Title: 11.1

The 2022 AQMP was adopted December 2, 2022, by the SCAQMD Governing Board. The 2022 AQMP was approved and adopted by CARB on January 26, 2023. The 2022 AQMP strategy includes the following:11 • Wide adoption of zero emissions technologies anywhere available; • Low NOx technologies where zero emissions aren’t feasible; • Federal Action; • Zero emissions technologies for residential and industrial sources such as water and space heaters in buildings and homes regionwide; and • Incentive funding in environmental justice areas. a) Would the project conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? Less than Significant Impact. CEQA requires a discussion of any inconsistencies between a project and applicable General Plans and Regional Plans (CEQA Guidelines Section 15125). The regional plan that applies to the proposed Project includes the SCAQMD Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP). Therefore, this section discusses any potential inconsistencies of the Project with the AQMP. The purpose of this discussion is to set forth the issues regarding consistency with the assumptions and objectives of the AQMP and discuss whether the Project would interfere with the region’s ability to comply with federal and state air quality standards. If the decision-makers determine that a project is inconsistent, the lead agency may consider project modifications or inclusion of mitigation to eliminate the inconsistency. The SCAQMD CEQA Handbook states that "New or amended General Plan Elements (including land use zoning and density amendments), Specific Plans, and significant projects must be analyzed for consistency with the AQMP." Strict consistency with all aspects of the plan is usually not required. A proposed project should be considered to be consistent with the AQMP if it furthers one or more policies and does not obstruct other policies. The SCAQMD CEQA Handbook identifies two key indicators of consistency: (1) Whether a project will result in an increase in the frequency or severity of existing air quality violations or cause or contribute to new violations, or delay timely attainment of air quality standards or the interim emission reductions specified in the AQMP. (2) Whether a project will exceed the assumptions in the AQMP in 2022 or increments based on the year of project buildout and phase. 11 South Coast Air Quality Management District, 2022 Air Quality Management Plan, 2022 AQMP Infographic, http://www.aqmd.gov/home/air-quality/clean-air-plans/air-quality-mgt-plan/2022-aqmp-infographic, accessed October 2025.

Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 26 Both of these criteria are evaluated in below. Criteria 1 – Increase in the Frequency or Severity of Violations Based on the air quality modeling analysis contained in this section, short-term construction impacts will not result in significant impacts based on the SCAQMD regional and local thresholds of significance. This section also found that, long-term operations will not result in significant impacts based on the SCAQMD local and regional thresholds of significance. Therefore, the Project is not projected to contribute to the exceedance of any air pollutant concentration standards and is found to be consistent with the AQMP under the first criterion. Criteria 2 – Exceed Assumptions in the AQMP? Consistency with the AQMP assumptions is determined by performing an analysis of a project against the assumptions in the AQMP. The purpose of this criterion is to ensure that the analyses conducted for a project are based on the same forecasts as the AQMP. The 2020-2045 Regional Transportation/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS) prepared by SCAG includes chapters on: the challenges in a changing region, creating a plan for our future, and the road to greater mobility and sustainable growth. These chapters currently respond directly to federal and state requirements placed on SCAG. Local governments are required to use these as the basis of their plans for purposes of consistency with applicable regional plans under CEQA. For the Project, the City of Menifee General Plan Vision 2030 defines the assumptions that are represented in the AQMP. The Project’s General Plan Land Use Designation is Specific Plan (SP)—Menifee Village. The Project Site is zoned MVSP Zone PA 2-11: Neighborhood Commercial and is subject to the land use/development and planning standards established in the Menifee Village Specific Plan, which relies on County of Riverside Ordinance No. 348 as implemented by MMC Section 9.155.020. Permitted uses under the MVSP Zone PA 2-11 are established in the County of Riverside Ordinance No. 348, Section 17.27. As established therein, commercial, health service facilities, and child day care center land uses are permitted uses at the Project Site. Therefore, the Project’s proposed commercial land uses, which include retail, restaurant, medical office, and day care tenants would be consistent with the permitted land uses for the Site. Therefore, the Project is consistent with the City’s existing land use and zoning designations. The Project is projected to generate approximately 87 new jobs.12 This direct increase in employment at the Project Site would not be a substantial increase in the City, representing 0.5 percent of the existing (2019) employment and 0.6 percent of the projected employment growth over the planning period. See Section 3.14, Population and Housing, for more details. The Project 12 Calculated as follows: 38,560 square-foot commercial development / 447 employees per square foot of retail/service space = 86.3 employees rounded up to 87.

Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 27 is not anticipated to exceed the AQMP assumptions for the Site and is found to be consistent with the AQMP under the second criterion. Based on the above, the Project will not result in an inconsistency with the SCAQMD AQMP. Therefore, the associated impact would be less than significant. Mitigation Measures None required. b) Would the project result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard? Less than Significant Impact. Air pollution is largely a cumulative impact. The nonattainment status of regional pollutants is a result of past and present development, and SCAQMD develops and implements plans for future attainment of ambient air quality standards. Based on these considerations, project-level thresholds of significance for criteria pollutants are relevant in the determination of whether a project’s individual emissions would have a cumulatively significant impact on air quality. Criteria Pollutants The criteria pollutants consist of: ozone, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, lead, and particulate matter. These pollutants can harm your health and the environment, and cause property damage. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) calls these pollutants “criteria” air pollutants because it regulates them by developing human health-based and/or environmentally-based criteria for setting permissible levels. The following provides descriptions of each of the criteria pollutants. Nitrogen Dioxides Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) is the generic term for a group of highly reactive gases which contain nitrogen and oxygen. While most NOx are colorless and odorless, concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) can often be seen as a reddish-brown layer over many urban areas. NOx form when fuel is burned at high temperatures, as in a combustion process. The primary manmade sources of NOx are motor vehicles, electric utilities, and other industrial, commercial, and residential sources that burn fuel. NOx react with other pollutants to form, ground-level ozone, nitrate particles, acid aerosols, as well as NO2, which cause respiratory problems. NOx and the pollutants formed from NOx can be transported over long distances, following the patterns of prevailing winds. Therefore, controlling NOx is often most effective if done from a regional perspective, rather than focusing on the nearest sources.

Initial Study Checklist
Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 28 Ozone Ozone (O3) is not usually emitted directly into the air but at ground-level is created by a chemical reaction between NOx and volatile organic compounds (VOC) in the presence of sunlight. Motor vehicle exhaust, industrial emissions, gasoline vapors, chemical solvents as well as natural sources emit NOx and VOC that help form ozone. Ground-level ozone is the primary constituent of smog. Sunlight and hot weather cause ground-level ozone to form with the greatest concentrations usually occurring downwind from urban areas. Ozone is subsequently considered a regional pollutant. Ground-level ozone is a respiratory irritant and an oxidant that increases susceptibility to respiratory infections and can cause substantial damage to vegetation and other materials. Because NOx and VOC are ozone precursors, the health effects associated with ozone are also indirect health effects associated with significant levels of NOx and VOC emissions. Carbon Monoxide Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless gas that is formed when carbon in fuel is not burned completely. It is a component of motor vehicle exhaust, which contributes about 56 percent of all CO emissions nationwide. In cities, 85 to 95 percent of all CO emissions may come from motor vehicle exhaust. Other sources of CO emissions include industrial processes (such as metals processing and chemical manufacturing), residential wood burning, and natural sources such as forest fires. Woodstoves, gas stoves, cigarette smoke, and unvented gas and kerosene space heaters are indoor sources of CO. The highest levels of CO in the outside air typically occur during the colder months of the year when inversion conditions are more frequent. The air pollution becomes trapped near the ground beneath a layer of warm air. CO is described as having only a local influence because it dissipates quickly. Since CO concentrations are strongly associated with motor vehicle emissions, high CO concentrations generally occur in the immediate vicinity of roadways with high traffic volumes and traffic congestion, active parking lots, and in automobile tunnels. Areas adjacent to heavily traveled and congested intersections are particularly susceptible to high CO concentrations. CO is a public health concern because it combines readily with hemoglobin and thus reduces the amount of oxygen transported in the bloodstream. The health threat from lower levels of CO is most serious for those who suffer from heart disease such as angina, clogged arteries, or congestive heart failure. For a person with heart disease, a single exposure to CO at low levels may cause chest pain and reduce that person’s ability to exercise; repeated exposures may contribute to other cardiovascular effects. High levels of CO can affect even healthy people. People who breathe high levels of CO can develop vision problems, reduced ability to work or learn, reduced manual dexterity, and difficulty performing complex tasks. At extremely high levels, CO is poisonous and can cause death. Sulfur Dioxide Sulfur Oxide (SOx) gases (including sulfur dioxide [SO2]) are formed when fuel containing sulfur, such as coal and oil is burned, and from the refining of gasoline. SOx gases dissolve easily in water Item Title: 11.1

Lead Lead (Pb) is a metal found naturally in the environment as well as manufactured products. The major sources of lead emissions have historically been motor vehicles and industrial sources. Due to the phase out of leaded gasoline, metal processing is now the primary source of lead emissions to the air. High levels of lead in the air are typically only found near lead smelters, waste incinerators, utilities, and lead-acid battery manufacturers. Exposure of fetuses, infants, and children to low levels of lead can adversely affect the development and function of the central nervous system, leading to learning disorders, distractibility, inability to follow simple commands, and lower intelligence quotient. In adults, increased lead levels are associated with increased blood pressure. Particulate Matter Particulate matter (PM) is the term for a mixture of solid particles and liquid droplets found in the air. Particulate matter is made up of a number of components including acids (such as nitrates and sulfates), organic chemicals, metals, and soil or dust particles. The size of particles is directly linked to their potential for causing health problems. Particles that are less than 10 micrometers in diameter (PM10) are the particles that generally pass through the throat and nose and enter the lungs. Once inhaled, these particles can affect the heart and lungs and cause serious health effects. Particles that are less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter (PM2.5) have been designated as a subset of PM10 due to their increased negative health impacts and its ability to remain suspended in the air longer and travel further. Reactive Organic Gases Although not a criteria pollutant, reactive organic gases (ROGs), or VOCs, are defined as any compound of carbon—excluding carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, metallic carbides or carbonates, and ammonium carbonate—that participates in atmospheric photochemical reactions. Although there are slight differences in the definition of ROGs and VOCs, the two terms are often used interchangeably. Indoor sources of VOCs include paints, solvents, aerosol sprays, cleansers, tobacco smoke, etc. Outdoor sources of VOCs are from combustion and fuel evaporation. A reduction in VOC emissions reduces certain chemical reactions that contribute to the formulation of ozone. VOCs are transformed into organic aerosols in the atmosphere, which contribute to higher PM10 and lower visibility. Construction Emissions Assumptions for the phasing, duration, and required equipment for the construction of the Project were obtained from the Project Applicant. The construction activities for the Project are anticipated to include: site preparation and grading of approximately 6 acres; construction of Item Title: 11.1

The Project would provide approximately 37,954 square-feet of landscaping. Grading is to include approximately 95 cubic yards of import. The Project is anticipated to start construction no sooner than the 1st quarter of 2026 and be complete by 1st quarter 2027. The Project is anticipated to be operational in 2027. See Appendix B to this IS/MND for more details. Methodology The following provides a discussion of the methodology used to calculate regional construction air emissions and an analysis of the Project’s short-term construction emissions for the criteria pollutants. The construction-related regional air quality impacts have been analyzed for both criteria pollutants and GHGs. Emissions are estimated using the CalEEMod (Version 2022.1.1.30) software, which is a statewide land use emissions computer model designed to provide a uniform platform for government agencies, land use planners, and environmental professionals to quantify potential criteria pollutant and GHG emissions from a variety of land use projects. CalEEMod was developed in collaboration with the air districts of California. Regional data (e.g., emission factors, trip lengths, meteorology, source inventory, etc.) have been provided by the various California air districts to account for local requirements and conditions. The model is considered to be an accurate and comprehensive tool for quantifying air quality and GHG impacts from land use projects throughout California and is recommended by the SCAQMD.13 Daily regional emissions during construction are forecasted by assuming a conservative estimate of construction activities (i.e., assuming all construction occurs at the earliest feasible date) and applying the mobile source and fugitive dust emissions factors. The input values used in this analysis were adjusted to be project-specific for the construction schedule and the equipment used was based on CalEEMod defaults. The CalEEMod program uses the EMFAC2021 computer program to calculate the emission rates specific for the southwestern portion of Riverside County for construction-related employee vehicle trips and the OFFROAD2017 computer program to calculate emission rates for heavy truck operations. EMFAC2021 and OFFROAD2017 are computer programs generated by CARB that calculates composite emission rates for vehicles. Emission rates are reported by the program in grams per trip and grams per mile or grams per running hour. Daily truck trips and CalEEMod default trip length data were used to assess roadway emissions from vehicle exhaust. The maximum daily emissions are estimated values for the worst-case day and do not represent the emissions that would occur for every day of project construction. The maximum daily emissions are compared to the SCAQMD daily regional numeric indicators. 13 South Coast Air Quality Management District, California Emissions Estimator Model, http://www.aqmd.gov/caleemod/.

Initial Study Checklist
Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 31 Detailed construction equipment lists, construction scheduling, and emission calculations are provided in Appendix B to this IS/MND. The Project would be required to comply with existing SCAQMD rules for the reduction of fugitive dust emissions. SCAQMD Rule 403 establishes these procedures. Compliance with this rule is achieved through application of standard best management practices in construction and operation activities, such as application of water or chemical stabilizers to disturbed soils, managing haul road dust by application of water, covering haul vehicles, restricting vehicle speeds on unpaved roads to 15 miles per hour (mph), sweeping loose dirt from paved site access roadways, cessation of construction activity when winds exceed 25 mph and establishing a permanent, stabilizing ground cover on finished sites. SCAQMD’s Rule 403 minimum requirements require that the application of the best available dust control measures is used for all grading operations and include the application of water or other soil stabilizers in sufficient quantity to prevent the generation of visible dust plumes. Compliance with Rule 403 would require the use of water trucks during all phases where earth moving operations would occur. Compliance with Rule 403 has been included in the CalEEMod modeling for the Project. Per SCAQMD Rule 1113 as amended on June 3, 2011, the Project’s architectural coatings would be limited to an average of 50 grams per liter or less of VOCs for building coatings and 100 grams per liter or less of VOCs for traffic coatings. Compliance with Rule 1113 has been included in the CalEEMod modeling for the Project The phases of the construction activities which have been analyzed below for the Project are: (1) site preparation, (2) grading, (3) building construction, (4) paving, and (5) application of architectural coatings. The estimated maximum daily construction emissions are summarized below in Table 3.3-1, Construction-Related Pollutant Emissions. Details pertaining to the Project's construction timing and the type of equipment modeled for each construction phase are available in the CalEEMod output in Appendix B to this IS/MND. As shown in Table 3.3-1, none of the Project's emissions would exceed SCAQMD regional thresholds. Therefore, a less than significant regional air quality impact would occur from construction of the Project.

Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 32 Operational Emissions CalEEMod was also used to calculate emissions associated with operation of the Project. Operational activities associated with the Project would result in emissions of VOCs, NOx, SOx, CO, PM10, and PM2.5. Operational emissions would be expected from the following primary sources: • Area Source Emissions • Energy Source Emissions • Mobile Source Emissions Area Source Emissions Architectural Coatings Over a period of time the buildings that are part of the Project would generate emissions resulting from the evaporation of solvents contained in paints, varnishes, primers, and other surface coatings as part of Project maintenance. As discussed above, the Project’s CalEEMod emissions modeling assumes compliance with the low-VOC requirements of SCAQMD Rule 1113 (Architectural Coatings). Consumer Products Consumer products include, but are not limited to detergents, cleaning compounds, polishes, personal care products, and lawn and garden products. Many of these products contain organic compounds which when released in the atmosphere can react to form ozone and other photochemically reactive pollutants. Landscape Maintenance Equipment Landscape maintenance equipment would generate emissions from fuel combustion and evaporation of unburned fuel. Equipment in this category would include lawnmowers, shredders/grinders, blowers, trimmers, chain saws, and hedge trimmers used to maintain the landscaping of the Project. Energy Source Emissions Energy usage includes emissions from the combustion emissions associated with generation of electricity and natural gas used onsite. No changes were made to the default parameters. Mobile Source Emissions Vehicles Project mobile source air quality impacts are dependent on both overall daily vehicle trip generation and the effect of the Project on peak hour traffic volumes and traffic operations in the Item Title: 11.1

The Project’s operational air quality impacts are derived primarily from vehicle trips generated by the Project. The Project’s background traffic data calculated that the Project would generate 1,527 daily trips, including a 25 percent reduction for pass-by trips. The Project was modeled with a trip generation rate of 40.837696 trips/thousand square-feet (TSF) per day for the retail plaza (with the 25 percent pass-by reduction) and a trip generation rate of 35.7 trips/TSF per weekday (with the 25 percent pass-by reduction) for the day care center. The Saturday and Sunday trip generation rates for the day care center were left as CalEEMod defaults. Fugitive Dust Related to Vehicular Travel Vehicles traveling on paved roads would be a source of fugitive emissions due to the generation of road dust inclusive of tire wear particulates. Operational Emissions Summary The potential operations-related air emissions have been analyzed below for the criteria pollutants and cumulative impacts. The worst-case summer or winter criteria pollutant emissions created from the Project’s long-term operations have been calculated and are shown below in Table 3.3-3, Operational Pollutant Emissions. As shown in Table 3.3-3, emissions from operation of the Project would not exceed any SCAQMD threshold. Table 3.3-3, Operational Pollutant Emissions Activity Pollutant Emissions (pound/day) ROG NOx CO SO2 PM10 PM2.5 Maximum Daily Emissions 6.88 4.99 43.91 0.12 9.36 2.44 SCAQMD Thresholds 55 55 550 150 150 55 Exceeds Threshold? No No No No No No Source: CalEEMod Version 2022.1.1.30 output for the Project (see Appendix B of this IS/MND). The higher of either Summer or Winter is presented in this table. Conclusion Based on the results above, the Project would not result in a cumulatively considerable increase in emissions of nonattainment pollutants during either construction or operation. As such, impacts would be less than significant. Mitigation Measures None required.

Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 34 c) Would the project expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? Less than Significant Impact. The local air quality emissions from construction and operation were analyzed using the SCAQMD’s Mass Rate Localized Significant Threshold (LST) Look-up Tables and the methodology described in their Localized Significance Threshold Methodology guidance document. The LST methodology assists lead agencies in analyzing localized air quality impacts. The SCAQMD provides the LST lookup tables for one-, two-, and five-acre projects emitting CO, NOx, PM2.5, and/or PM10. The LST methodology and associated mass rates are not designed to evaluate localized impacts from mobile sources traveling over the roadways. The Look-up Tables were developed by the SCAQMD in order to readily determine if the daily emissions of CO, NOx, PM10, and PM2.5 from a project could result in a significant impact to the local air quality. Construction-Related Local Impacts Construction-related air emissions may have the potential to exceed the state and federal air quality standards in the Project vicinity, even though these pollutant emissions may not be significant enough to create a regional impact to the South Coast Air Basin. As the Project Site is 6.02 acres, and the largest available acreage to use in the LST Look-Up Tables is five acres,14 the onsite construction emissions for each construction phase were compared to the five-acre thresholds. The emission thresholds were calculated based on the Perris source receptor area (SRA) 24 and a disturbance value of five acres per day. According to LST Methodology, any receptor located closer than 25 meters (82 feet) shall be based on the 25-meter thresholds. The nearest sensitive receptors to the Project Site are the single-family detached residential dwelling units located adjacent to the western and southwestern boundary of the Site; the Callie Kirkpatrick Elementary School located adjacent to the southern boundary of the Site; and the single-family detached residential dwelling units located approximately 120 feet north of the Site, north of Newport Road; therefore, the SCAQMD Look-Up Tables for 25 meters was used. Table 3.3-4, Localized Construction Emissions, shows the onsite emissions from the CalEEMod model for the different construction phases and the LST emissions thresholds. As shown in Table 3.3-4, none of the analyzed criteria pollutants would exceed the local emissions thresholds at the nearest sensitive receptors. Therefore, a less than significant local air quality impact would occur from construction of the Project. 14 South Coast Air Quality Management District, CEQA Handbook, Localized Significance Thresholds, Table C-1: Thresholds for Construction and Operation with Gradual Conversion of NOX to NO2, https://www.aqmd.gov/docs/default-source/ceqa/handbook/localized-significance-thresholds/appendix-c-mass-rate-lst-look-up-tables.pdf?sfvrsn=8e641d61_2, accessed October 2025.

Operations-Related Local Impacts Operations-related air emissions from onsite sources such as architectural coatings, landscaping equipment, onsite usage of natural gas appliances, as well as the operation of vehicles onsite may have the potential to exceed the state and federal air quality standards in the Project vicinity, even though these pollutant emissions may not be significant enough to create a regional impact to the South Coast Air Basin. Per SCAQMD staff, the Five-acre Look-Up Table, which is the largest site available, can be used as a conservative screening analysis for onsite operational emissions to determine whether more-detailed dispersion modeling would be necessary. As with construction emissions, operation-related emissions were analyzed based on the Perris Valley SRA 24. The Project would commercially subdivide the 6.02-acre Site into five lots: Parcel 1 would be 0.83-acre; Parcel 2 would be 1.59 acres; Parcel 3 would be 0.47-acre; Parcel 4 would be 1.52 acres; and Parcel 5 would be 1.62 acres. The buildings with drive-thru service, where vehicle idling could occur, are located on Parcel 2 and Parcel 3 (totaling 2.06 acres); however, to be conservative the onsite operational emissions from the entire 6-acre Site were reported, and compared against the thresholds for a five-acre Project Site. Table 3.3-5, Local Operational Emissions, shows the onsite emissions from the CalEEMod model that includes natural gas usage, landscape maintenance equipment, and vehicles operating onsite, as well as the calculated emissions thresholds. Per LST methodology, mobile emissions include only onsite sources which equate to approximately 10 percent of the Project-related new mobile sources.15 As shown in Table 3.3-5, the on-going operations of the Project would not exceed SCAQMD local operational thresholds of significance. Therefore, the on- 15 The project site is approximately 0.15 miles in length at its longest point; therefore, the on-site mobile source emissions represent approximately 1/37th of the shortest CalEEMod default distance of 5.6 miles. Therefore, to be conservative, 1/10th the distance (dividing the mobile source emissions by 10) was used to represent the portion of the overall mobile source emissions that would occur on-site.

Health Effects of Toxic Air Contaminants A substance is considered toxic if it has the potential to cause adverse health effects in humans, including increasing the risk of cancer upon exposure or acute (immediate) and/or chronic (cumulative) non-cancer health effects. A toxic substance released into the air is considered a toxic air contaminant (TAC). Adverse health effects associated with exposure to TACs may include carcinogenic (i.e., cancer-causing) and noncarcinogenic effects. Noncarcinogenic effects typically affect one or more target organ systems and may be experienced on either short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic) exposure to a given TAC. TACs are identified by federal and state agencies based on a review of available scientific evidence. In the State of California, TACs are identified through a two-step process that was established in 1983 under the Toxic Air Contaminant Identification and Control Act. This two-step process of risk identification and risk management and reduction was designed to protect residents from the health effects of toxic substances in the air. In addition, the California Air Toxics “Hot Spots” Information and Assessment Act, Assembly Bill (AB) 2588, was enacted by the legislature in 1987 to address public concern over the release of TACs into the atmosphere. Construction Project construction would result in emissions of diesel particulate matter from heavy construction equipment and trucks accessing the Site. Diesel particulate matter is characterized as a TAC by the State of California. The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment has identified carcinogenic and chronic noncarcinogenic effects from long-term exposure but has not identified health effects due to short-term exposure to diesel exhaust. According to the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, health risk assessments, which determine the exposure of sensitive receptors to toxic emissions, should be based on a 30-year exposure period for the maximally exposed individual resident; however, such assessments should be limited to the period/duration of activities associated with a project.

Initial Study Checklist
Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 37 would take place over an approximately 12-14-month period and thus would represent a small fraction of the recommended exposure duration. Due to this relatively short period of exposure and minimal particulate emissions on site, TACs generated during construction would not be expected to result in concentrations causing significant health risks. Thus, no impacts would occur in this regard. Naturally Occurring Asbestos Asbestos is a term used for several types of naturally occurring fibrous minerals that are a human health hazard when airborne. Asbestos is classified as a known human carcinogen by state, federal, and international agencies and was identified as a TAC by CARB in 1986. Asbestos can be released from serpentinite and ultramafic rocks when the rock is broken or crushed. At the point of release, the asbestos fibers may become airborne, causing air quality and human health hazards. These rocks have been commonly used for unpaved gravel roads, landscaping, fill projects, and other improvement projects in some localities. Asbestos may be released into the atmosphere due to vehicular traffic on unpaved roads, during grading for development projects, and at quarry operations. All of these activities may have the effect of releasing potentially harmful asbestos into the air. Natural weathering and erosion processes can act on asbestos bearing rock and make it easier for asbestos fibers to become airborne if such rock is disturbed. According to the Department of Conservation Division of Mines and Geology,16 serpentinite and ultramafic rocks are not known to occur within the Project area. Thus, no impacts would occur in this regard. Operation Regarding health effects related to criteria pollutant emissions, the applicable significance thresholds are established for regional compliance with the state and federal ambient air quality standards, which are intended to protect public health from both acute and long-term health impacts, depending on the potential effects of the pollutant. Because regional and local emissions of criteria pollutants during operation of the Project would be below the applicable thresholds, it would not contribute to long-term health impacts related to nonattainment of the ambient air quality standards. Therefore, significant adverse acute health impacts as a result of operation of Project operation are not anticipated. Health Impacts of Carbon Monoxide CO is the pollutant of major concern along roadways because the most notable source of CO is motor vehicles. For this reason, CO concentrations are usually indicative of the local air quality generated by a roadway network and are used as an indicator of potential local air quality impacts. Local air quality impacts can be assessed by comparing future without and with a project’s CO levels to the state and federal CO standards which were presented above. To determine if the 16 Department of Conservation Division of Mines and Geology, A General Location Guide for Ultramafic Rocks in California – Areas More Likely to Contain Naturally Occurring Asbestos Report, August 2000, https://ww3.arb.ca.gov/toxics/asbestos/ofr_2000-019.pdf, accessed September 3, 2025.

Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 38 project could cause emission levels in excess of the CO standards discussed above, a sensitivity analysis is typically conducted to determine the potential for CO “hot spots” at a number of intersections in the general vicinity. Because of reduced speeds and vehicle queuing, “hot spots” potentially can occur at high traffic volume intersections with a Level of Service E or worse. The analysis prepared for CO attainment in the South Coast Air Basin by the SCAQMD can be used to assist in evaluating the potential for CO exceedances in the South Coast Air Basin. CO attainment was thoroughly analyzed as part of the SCAQMD's 2003 Air Quality Management Plan and the 1992 Federal Attainment Plan for Carbon Monoxide (1992 CO Plan). As part of the 1992 CO Plan, CO modeling was performed and a hot spot analysis conducted for four busy intersections in Los Angeles at the peak morning and afternoon time periods. The analysis found that even the busiest intersection, with a Level of Service E during the morning peak hour and Level of Service F during the afternoon peak hour and a daily traffic volume of approximately 100,000 vehicles per day, did not have a violation of CO standards. The Project’s background traffic data calculated that the Project would generate a maximum of approximately 1,527 net daily vehicle trips. For the Year 2027 Cumulative Plus Project PM Peak Hour Scenario, the road segment of Newport Road east of Antelope Road would have a daily traffic volume of 80,451 vehicles. The 1992 CO Plan showed that an intersection which has a daily traffic volume of approximately 100,000 vehicles per day would not violate the CO standard. Therefore, as the road segment with the highest traffic volume falls far short of 100,000 vehicles per day, no CO “hot spot” modeling was performed and no significant long-term air quality impact is anticipated to local air quality with the on-going operations of the Project. Mitigation Measures None required. d) Would the project result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people? Less than Significant Impact. The occurrence and severity of potential odor impacts depend on numerous factors. The nature, frequency, and intensity of the source; wind speed and direction; and the sensitivity of receiving location each contribute to the intensity of the impact. Although offensive odors seldom cause physical harm, they can be annoying, cause distress among the public, and generate citizen complaints. Construction Emissions Potential sources that may emit odors during construction activities associated with the Project include the application of materials such as asphalt pavement. The objectionable odors that may be produced during the construction process are of short-term in nature and the odor emissions are expected cease upon the drying or hardening of the odor producing materials. Due to the short-term nature and limited amounts of odor producing materials being utilized, no significant Item Title: 11.1

Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 39 impact related to odors would occur during construction of the Project. Diesel exhaust and VOCs would be emitted during construction of the Project, which are objectionable to some; however, emissions would disperse rapidly from the Site and therefore would not reach an objectionable level at the nearest sensitive receptors. Operational Emissions The SCAQMD recommends that odor impacts be addressed in a qualitative manner. Such an analysis shall determine whether the Project would result in excessive nuisance odors, as defined under the California Code of Regulations and Section 41700 of the California Health and Safety Code, and thus would constitute a public nuisance related to air quality. Land uses typically considered associated with odors include wastewater treatment facilities, waste-disposal facilities, or agricultural operations. The Project does not contain land uses typically associated with emitting objectionable odors. Mitigation Measures None required. CUMULATIVE IMPACTS Air pollution from the Project may combine with other cumulative projects (past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future) to violate criteria pollutant standards if the existing background sources cause nonattainment conditions. Air districts manage attainment of the criteria pollutant standards by adopting rules, regulations, and attainment plans, which comprise a multifaceted programmatic approach to such attainment. The greatest cumulative impact on the quality of regional air cell will be the incremental addition of pollutants mainly from increased traffic volumes from residential, commercial, and industrial development and the use of heavy equipment and trucks associated with the construction of these projects. Air quality will be temporarily degraded during construction activities that occur separately or simultaneously. However, in accordance with the SCAQMD methodology, projects that do not exceed the SCAQMD criteria or can be mitigated to less than criteria levels are not significant and do not add to the overall cumulative impact. This applies to TACs as well, as the SCAQMD does not have any cumulative TAC thresholds; therefore, projects that do not exceed the SCAQMD TAC threshold criteria or can be mitigated to less than criteria levels are not significant and do not add to the overall cumulative impact. A significant impact may occur if a project would add a cumulatively considerable contribution of a federal or state non-attainment pollutant. Project operations would generate emissions of NOx, ROG, CO, PM10, and PM2.5, which would not exceed the SCAQMD regional or local thresholds and would not be expected to result in ground level concentrations that exceed the NAAQS or CAAQS. The Project would not be a source of significant TACs and would not cause significant cancer or non-cancer-related health risks. Since the Project would not introduce any substantial stationary sources of emissions, CO is the benchmark pollutant for assessing Item Title: 11.1

Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 42 The following analysis of impacts to biological resources that could potentially occur as a result of construction or operation of the Project is based, in part, on the Project’s Biological Resources Assessment (Biological Assessment) prepared for the Project by South Environmental in October 2025, attached to this IS/MND as Appendix C.17 The Biological Assessment includes an assessment of the potential for special-status plants and animals to occur on the Project Site and surrounding 500 feet (study area) based on a literature review and a field site survey and an analysis of the potential for the Project to impact biological resources according to CEQA. The Site is within the Western Riverside County (WRC) Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) and therefore includes a consistency analysis with the MSHCP requirements. Plants A total of 21 plant species were identified in the study area. Three are native to this region and 18 are non-native due to the disturbed regions throughout the study area.

The Project Site is dominated by non-native grassland with compacted soil, and the study area is dominated by commercial/ residential developments and agricultural activities. As shown in Figure 3.4-1, Plant Communities and Land Cover, presented at the end of this section (Checklist Section 3.4) and Table 3.4-2, Summary of Plant Communities on the Study Area and Project Site, the study area contains one plant community (Non-native Grassland) and one cover type (Developed / Ornamental Landscape). Non-native Grassland plant community occurs on 7.02-acres of the study area including 5.77-acres of the Project Site. This vegetation community is characterized by a dominance of non-native, ruderal grasses and forbs including tumbleweed, wild oat, black mustard, great brome, compact brome, and red brome. This community occurs throughout almost the entire Project Site. Developed/ Ornamental Landscape cover type occurs on 44.01-acres of the study area and 0.55-acres of the Project Site. This cover type contains commercial/ residential developments, paved parking lots, and roadways. The vegetation in these areas is dominated by non-native, ornamental species such as southern magnolia, Buddhist pine, Peruvian peppertree, and Mexican fan palm. This cover type is found within the parking lot on the Project Site and throughout the study area surrounding the Project Site.

Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. The Biological Assessment included a general habitat assessment to document existing biological conditions and determine the potential for special status plant and wildlife species to occur within the Project Site. Prior to conducting a field survey, literature reviews and records searches were conducted to determine which special status biological resources have the potential to occur on or within the general vicinity of the Site. The Project Site is located within the boundaries of the WRC MSHCP and, accordingly, an MSHCP consistency analysis was also conducted. Special Status Plant Species No special-status plant species were found on the Project Site and the Site is highly disturbed and unable to support special-status plants in the future. Therefore, the Project would have no impact on special-status plant species. Special Status Wildlife No special status wildlife species were observed at the Site or in the study area and most special-status wildlife would be absent from the Site due to lack of native habitats. Although no other special-status wildlife has the potential to occur, burrowing owls are typically found in areas of disturbance that are relatively flat with low-lying vegetation and small mammal burrows. The Site is not within a WRC MSHCP burrowing owl survey area, and a habitat assessment of the Site found that the it lacked burrows of the size required for use by burrowing owls and that the vegetation (grasses and forbs) were taller than would be necessary for use by burrowing owls. Although no burrowing owls, potential burrows, or signs of burrowing owls were observed during the survey, the potential for burrows to be there in the future is high. To ensure there are no impacts to burrowing owls and as required by the WRC MSHCP, mitigation measure BIO-1 requires pre-construction surveys for burrowing owls within 30 days prior to ground disturbance to avoid take of burrowing owls or burrowing owl nests. As such, impacts to special status wildlife would be less than significant with mitigation.

Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 45 Nesting Birds While common birds are not designated as special status species, destruction of their eggs, nests, and nestling is prohibited by federal and state law. The vegetation present on the Project Site provides potential nesting habitat for common resident birds and as described in the setting above, several inactive bird nests noted in the trees and shrubs onsite during the survey conducted as part of the Biological Review. Because of the disturbed nature of the site and the limited areas of natural habitat, only common species are expected to nest at the Project Site. Nesting birds are protected under Sections 3503, 3503.5, and 3513 of the California Fish and Game Code and under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA). Construction activities have the potential to harm protected birds either through direct contact with birds or their eggs, or through elevated noise levels in the surrounding area. Construction activities may also negatively affect breeding or reproduction of birds on or adjacent to the Project Site and therefore, the Project has the potential to result in significant impacts to nesting birds and mitigation measure BIO-2 would be required. Mitigation measure BIO-2 requires pre-construction surveys for evidence of nesting birds and the establishment of avoidance buffers should nests be identified. Therefore, impacts to nesting birds would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated. Mitigation Measures BIO-1 Burrowing Owl Pre-Construction Survey. Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall perform a preconstruction survey that shall be conducted within 30 days prior to ground disturbance to avoid direct take of burrowing owls. If the results of the survey indicate that no burrowing owls are present onsite, then the Project may move forward with grading, upon Planning Department approval. If burrowing owls are found to be present or nesting onsite during the preconstruction survey, then the following recommendations must be adhered to: Exclusion and relocation activities may not occur during the breeding season, which is defined as March 1 through August 31, with the following exception: From March 1 through March 15 and from August 1 through August 31 exclusion and relocation activities may take place if it is proven to the Lead Agency and/or appropriate agencies (if any) that egg laying or chick rearing is not taking place. This determination must be made by a qualified biologist. BIO-2 Pre-Construction Nesting Bird and Raptor Survey. If possible, ground disturbing activities and vegetation removal shall be timed to occur between September 1–January 31, which is outside the bird and raptor nesting season. If ground disturbing activities or vegetation removal (including tree trimming) are scheduled between February 1–August 31, which is the bird nesting season, a preconstruction survey for nesting birds shall be conducted within 72 hours prior to construction activities. The survey shall be conducted by a qualified biologist with prior experience conducting nesting bird surveys for construction projects. The study area shall include the affected area and suitable habitat within a 500-foot buffer, or a buffer size determined by the qualified biologist based on level of proposed disturbance and access.

If active nests are found, the biologist shall map the location and document the species and nesting stage. A no-work buffer shall be established around the active nest as determined by the qualified biologist and based on the species’ sensitivity to disturbance and the type and duration of the disturbance. No construction activities shall occur within the no-work buffer until the biologist has determined the nest is no longer active. b) Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or US Fish and Wildlife Service? No Impact. The Project would be constructed on 5.77-acres of disturbed non-native grassland habitat and on 0.55-acre of developed areas. No native habitat or Sensitive Natural Communities occur on the Project Site.18 Habitat for burrowing owl was determined to be absent from the Site due to lack of burrows and tall vegetation and no other sensitive species would occur here because the Site lacks suitable habitat. Because the Project would avoid impacts to native plant communities, habitat for special-status species, and sensitive natural communities, the Project would not have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the CDFW or USFWS and no impacts would occur. Mitigation Measures None required. c) Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on state or federally protected wetlands (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? No Impact. No evidence of state or federally protected waters or wetlands exist or were mapped on or immediately adjacent to the Project Site according to the USFWS’s, National Wetland Inventory’s Wetland Mapper.19 During the reconnaissance survey conducted in preparation of the Biological Assessment, the study area was inspected for the presence of potential jurisdictional features such as wetlands, streams, lakes, and other water features. The survey was conducted by observing the landscape across the study area and looking for the presence of water and topographic depressions that are associated with dense vegetation. Based on the literature review and results of the reconnaissance survey, the Biological Assessment concluded that there are no hydrology features on the study area.20 Therefore, the Project would have no impact to state or federally protected waters or wetlands and no impact would occur. 18 South Environmental, Biological Resources Assessment, Menifee Boardwalk Project, City of Menifee, Riverside County, California, October 2025, page 21. 19 U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, National Wetlands Inventory, Wetlands Mapper, https://fwsprimary.wim.usgs.gov/wetlands/apps/wetlands-mapper/, accessed October 2025. 20 South Environmental, Biological Resources Assessment, Menifee Boardwalk Project, City of Menifee, Riverside County, California, October 2025, page 14.

Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 47 Mitigation Measures None required. d) Would the project interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? No Impact. During the reconnaissance survey, the Project Site and surrounding 500-ft study area were assessed for their potential use as a wildlife corridor or habitat linkage. The level of disturbance of the site and surrounding areas by way of development including roads, house and commercial structures, fences, and lighting were noted as they pertain to the connectivity of the site to high-quality habitat. The study area was assessed for the presence of a corridor of linkage of habitat that connects the site to adjacent high-quality habitat. Included in this assessment of a corridor were stream areas or those with unique natural feature (e.g., rock outcrops) which wildlife are known to frequently use as habitat linkages. The Project Site is dominated by invasive grasses that undergo routine fuel modification, which is not a wildlife movement area because it lacks cover and native habitat. There are no unique features like waterways, thickets, or rocky areas present. The surrounding study area is also entirely developed with commercial and residential developments that would deter most wildlife. The Site is within the Sun City/Menifee Area Plan for the WRC MSHCP. The closest MSHCP Conserved Public Quasi-Public (PQP) Conserved Land is within Salt Creek Channel approximately 1.15-miles to the west. These spaces could serve as wildlife corridors for special-status wildlife and contain habitat for native wildlife in the region, but this area is separated from the Project Site by dense urban development. Therefore, the Project Site would not be considered a wildlife movement area or corridor. In addition, the Project Site is not within any Area Plan Subunits, Criteria Cells, or Cores and Linkages (i.e., wildlife migration corridors) that are established in the MSHCP for the Sun City/Menifee Area Plan.21 Based on the above, the Project would not interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites, and no impacts would occur. Mitigation Measures None required. 21 South Environmental, Biological Resources Assessment, Menifee Boardwalk Project, City of Menifee, Riverside County, California, October 2025, pages 14—15.

Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 48 e) Would the project conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance? No Impact. The Riverside County Code of Ordinances protects native trees on private and public property that are at an elevation of over 5,000 feet and are at least 30 feet and are not less than 12 inches in diameter when measured 4.5 feet above the ground. In addition, the City’s Open Space and Conservation Element discusses protection of different plant communities and native tree species primarily in relation to the MSHCP. The trees on the Project Site are not special-status species or conservation species recognized in the MSHCP (e.g., covered, narrow endemic).22 Accordingly, the Project would not conflict with local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources and no impact would occur. Mitigation Measures None required. f) Would the project conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation. As previously discussed, the Project Site is located within the boundaries of the MSC MSHCP and, therefore, an MSHCP consistency analysis under Section 6.0 of the MSHCP based on the specific attributes of the Site is required. According to the Western Riverside County MSHCP mapper of the Regional Conservation Authority 2025, the Project Site has the following attributes: • The Project is within the Sun City/Menifee Area Plan; • The Project Site is not within an Area Plan Subunit; • The Project Site is not within a Criteria Cell or Cellgroup; • The Project Site is not within an amphibian or mammal survey area; • The Project Site is not within a mammal survey area; • The Project Site is not within a narrow endemic plant survey area; • The Project Site is not within a criteria species survey area; • The Project Site is not within the burrowing owl survey area; • The Project Site is not within a Delhi Sands Flower-loving Fly survey area; • The Project Site is not within any Regional Conservation Authority Conserved Lands; • There are no riparian or riverine features on the Project Site; • There are no vernal pools on the Project Site; • There are no riparian birds on the Project Site; • There are no fairy shrimps on the Project Site; • An analysis of the urban/wildlands interface is also required by the MSHCP. 22 South Environmental, Biological Resources Assessment, Menifee Boardwalk Project, City of Menifee, Riverside County, California, October 2025, page 14.

Initial Study Checklist
Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 49 Based on the above, the Project Site is not within any Area Plan Subunits, Criteria Cells/Cellgroups, survey areas, or conserved lands, and no hydrological features or associated species are found on the Site. As such, no consistency analysis with regard to such attributes is required for the Project or the Site. Furthermore, as discussed in response to Checklist Question 3.4(a), as required by mitigation measure BIO-1, the Project would conduct a burrowing owl survey within 30 days prior to ground disturbance to avoid take of burrowing owls or burrowing owl nests. Mitigation measure BIO-1 would ensure that the Project would not impact species or habitats protected by the MSC MSHCP. Pursuant to the attributes listed above, the Project is required to conduct an analysis of the urban/wildlands interface. The entire Project Site consists of non-native ruderal vegetation and is disturbed by fuel modification, and study areas surrounding the Site are developed on all sides with commercial business and residential homes. There are no wildlands or native plant communities on the Site or vicinity, and only developed areas surround the Site, while non-native, disturbed plants occur on the Site. As such, the Project would not interfere with the urban wildlands interface.23 Based on the above, the Project would not conflict with the provisions of Section 6.0 of the MSC MSHCP. Accordingly, the Project would not conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan and impacts would be less than significant with mitigation. Mitigation Measures See mitigation measure BIO-1 under Checklist Question 3.4(a) above. CUMULATIVE IMPACTS Cumulative impacts assessed are dependent on not only the site itself, but in the surrounding areas, both past and present. As the city continues to develop and build, habitat fragmentation from increased activities continually diminishes biological resources and their respective habitats. Areas that were once home to dense foliage and woodland, are built upon and used for development and infrastructure. The Project Site is situated in an urbanized area of Menifee and is surrounded by residential and commercial development. The Project Site is currently vacant and undeveloped. No riparian habitat, sensitive communities, or wildlife corridors/nurseries exist on the Project Site and the Site does not provide suitable habitat for special status plant or wildlife species. Accordingly, the Project does not have the potential to contribute to a cumulative impact to such resources. Although the Project could impact burrowing owls and nesting birds, mitigation measures have been identified to reduce these impacts to less than significant. Additionally, the Project would comply with the MBTA and the California Fish and Game Code to protect nesting birds, the Riverside County Code of 23 South Environmental, Biological Resources Assessment, Menifee Boardwalk Project, City of Menifee, Riverside County, California, October 2025, page 16.

Through implementation of the mitigation measures and adherence with federal, state, and local regulations, Project impacts during construction at cumulative project locations are expected to be less than significant. Therefore, impacts related to sensitive habitats and biological resources would not be cumulatively considerable.

3.5 Cultural Resources Potentially Significant Impact
Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated Less than Significant Impact No Impact Would the project: a. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource pursuant to § 15064.5? b. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to § 15064.5? c. Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of dedicated cemeteries? The following analysis of the potential cultural resources impacts of the Project is based on the information and conclusions contained within the Phase I Cultural Resource Technical Report (Cultural Report) prepared for the Project by South Environmental in October 2025.24 The Cultural Report was completed in compliance with CEQA, including PRC Section 5024.1, Title 14 California Code of Regulations (CCR) Section 15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines, and PRC Sections 21083.2 and 21084.1 and includes the results of a California Historical Resources Information Center (CHRIS) records search of the Project Site and a 0.5-mile radius; background research from available sources; a California Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Sacred Lands File (SLF) search; and an intensive pedestrian survey of the Project Site by a qualified archaeologist. The Cultural Report is attached to this IS/MND as Appendix D. California Historical Resources Information System Records Search On August 20, 2025, South Environmental requested a cultural resources records search of the Project Site plus a 0.5-mile search radius from the South Coastal Information Center (SCIC), which houses cultural resources records for Riverside County. This search included their collections of mapped prehistoric and historic archaeological resources and historic built-environment resources, State of California Department of Parks and Recreation Series 523 forms (DPR forms), technical reports, archival resources, and ethnographic references. Additional consulted sources include historical maps of the study area, the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR), the lists of California State Historical Landmarks, California Points of Historical Interest, and the Archaeological Resources Directory list. The SCIC records search results indicate that no previously recorded resources overlap the Project Site. One previously recorded historic-age cultural resource (P-33-029119) was identified within the 0.5-mile 24 South Environmental, Phase I Cultural Resource Technical Report, City of Menifee, Riverside County, California, October 2025.

P-33-029119, located approximately 0.2-mile to the northeast, an historical resource identified as two concrete well pump platforms/foundations, has an eligibility code of 6Z: ineligible for the National Register, the California Register, or local designation.25 The SCIC records search also identified a total of 13 previously conducted cultural resource studies within the search area, including one study (RI-01171) which intersects the Project Site and one study (RI-04375) located adjacent to the Site. None of the archaeological or historical resources identified as part of the RI-01171 or RI-04375 studies are located within the Project Site.26 Historical Map and Aerial Photograph Review A review of historical topographic maps and aerial photographs was conducted to better understand the Project Site's history and any past disturbances. The earliest maps from 1901 through 1943 depict major roads in the area including Newport and Menifee Roads, but no details within the Project Site. Closer scale maps from the 1950s indicate the presence of a blue line intermittent stream paralleling the northern side of Newport Road. A 2012 map is the first to depict streets other than Newport Road and Menifee Road, however, there are no structures depicted within the Project Site. A 2015 map marks a school directly southwest of the Project Site as the closest structure to the Site. A 2018 map includes the unnamed lakes north and south of the Project Site amongst the Menifee Lakes residential community. According to aerial photographs, between 1938 and 1961, the Project Site is northeast of a homestead but does not appear to be cultivated. From 1967 to 1985, the Project Site appears to be used for agricultural purposes with Newport Road to the north and Murrieta Road to the east. In 1996, the Menifee Lakes residential community is under development and Newport Road appears to have been widened with a center median. In 2005, cement pads are laid in the southwest corner of Newport and Murrieta Road. In 2016 the retail development immediately east of the Project Site is under construction and is complete by 2018. No changes appear within the Project Site between 2016 and 2022. No developments occur within the Project Site from 1938 to the present. Native American Coordination A Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Sacred Lands File search was requested by South Environmental on August 20, 2025. The NAHC responded to the request on August 26, 2025, and reported positive results. The NAHC also provided a list of Native American tribes to contact for additional information or knowledge they may have regarding the presence of cultural resources that may be impacted by the Project. Separately, the City of Menifee conducted government-to-government tribal consultation per AB 52 of 2014, as amended. The Pechanga Band of Indians responded requesting further consultation on the plan stating that the Project Site is within “the Tribe’s aboriginal territory” which the Tribe considers a culturally sensitive area. 25 South Environmental, Phase I Cultural Resource Technical Report, City of Menifee, Riverside County, California, October 2025, Table 2: Previously Recorded Cultural Resources Within 0.5-Mile of the Project Site, page 23. 26 South Environmental, Phase I Cultural Resource Technical Report, City of Menifee, Riverside County, California, October 2025, pages 22—23.

Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 54 Pedestrian Survey On August 29, 2025, South Environmental conducted an intensive-level cultural resources survey of the Project Site. Fieldwork included taking field notes, photography, and examination of close-scale field maps. The Project Site was surveyed in east-west oriented transects approximately 10 to 15 meters apart starting in the northeastern corner of the Site. No buildings, foundations, or utilities were observed during the survey other than the recently asphalted parking lot; no prehistoric or historic archaeological resources were identified within the Project Site as a result of the pedestrian survey.27 a) Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource pursuant to § 15064.5? Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. The Site has not been determined to be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, or California Register of Historic Resources and, based on a review of historic aerial photographs and historic maps, most of the Project Site has never been developed. Based on a CHRIS record search by the SCIC and a pedestrian survey of the Site, no historical resources were identified within the Project Site. Based on the absence of recorded prehistoric or historic archaeological resources within 0.5-mile of the Project Site as well as the negative findings of the survey, the Project Site is considered to possess low sensitivity for subsurface cultural resources. However, the NAHC responded with a positive SLF search and the Pechanga Band of Mission Indians stated that the Site is within their traditional territory and, therefore, within a culturally sensitive area. Because no development has occurred at the Site, the possibility exists that deeper lying, previously unknown historical resources exist that ground-disturbing activities during construction could encounter. Mitigation measures CUL-1 and CUL-2 would be required to ensure appropriate protection and treatment of cultural resources that may qualify as historical resources in the event of their inadvertent discovery during ground-disturbance at the Site. Protection and treatment efforts recommended are consistent with applicable state and local regulatory requirements and recommendations, including CEQA statutes, CRHR evaluation criteria, AB 52, Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5, General Plan Open Space and Conservation Element Policies OCS-5.1 and OCS-5.3 through OCS-5.6, and MMC Section 4.2020 definitions, including Riverside County Ordinance No. 578 pertaining to Historic Preservation District, which have been adopted and implemented to prevent and reduce effects on cultural resources, including those which may qualify as historical resources. Therefore, impacts with regards to cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an historical resource pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5 would be less than significant with mitigation. Mitigation Measures CUL-1 Unanticipated Discovery of Cultural Resources.

No further excavation or disturbance of the site or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent remains shall occur until the County Coroner has determined, within two working days of notification of the discovery, the appropriate treatment and disposition of the human remains. If the remains are determined to be Native American, the Coroner shall notify the NAHC in Sacramento within 24 hours. In accordance with California PRC, Section 5097.98, the NAHC must immediately notify those persons it believes to be the Most Likely Descendant (MLD) from the deceased Native American. The MLD shall complete their inspection within 48 hours of being granted access to the Site. The MLD would then determine, in consultation with the property owner, the disposition of the human remains. b) Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to § 15064.5? Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. No cultural resources, including potential archaeological resources, were identified within the Project Site as a result of the CHRIS records search or pedestrian survey by a qualified archaeologist. Ground visibility was good (70-90 percent) during the survey. Additionally, the only resource recorded within 0.5-mile was associated with historic period agriculture. Based on the absence of recorded prehistoric or historic archaeological resources within 0.5-mile of the Project Site as well as the negative findings of the survey, the Project Site is considered to possess low sensitivity for subsurface cultural resources. However, the NAHC responded with a positive SLF search and the Pechanga Band of Mission Indians stated that the Site is within their traditional territory and, therefore, within a culturally sensitive area. Because no development has occurred at the Site, the possibility exists that deeper lying, previously unknown archaeological resources exist that ground-disturbing activities during construction could encounter. Mitigation measures CUL-1 and CUL-2 would be required to ensure appropriate protection and treatment of cultural resources, including archaeological resources, in the event of their inadvertent discovery during ground-disturbance at the Site. Protection and treatment efforts recommended are consistent with applicable state and local regulatory requirements and recommendations, including CEQA statutes, CRHR evaluation criteria, AB 52, Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5, and General Plan Open Space and Conservation Element Policies OCS-5.1 and OCS-5.3 through OCS-5.6, which have been adopted and implemented to prevent and reduce effects on cultural resources, including those Item Title: 11.1

Therefore, impacts with regards to cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5 would be less than significant with mitigation. Mitigation Measures See mitigation measures CUL-1 and CUL-2 under Checklist Question 3.5(a) above. c) Would the project disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of dedicated cemeteries? Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. There are no known human remains within the Project Site. While no formal cemeteries, other places of human internment, or burial grounds sites are known to occur within the immediate Project Site area, there is always a possibility that human remains could be encountered during construction. To reduce potential impacts related to the disturbance of human remains that may be inadvertently discovered during construction, mitigation measure CUL-2 would be implemented. As outlined in mitigation measure CUL-2, if human remains are found, the State of California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 requires that the County Coroner be notified immediately and no further disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has determined origin and disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. If the human remains are determined to date to the Pre-contact Period, the Coroner will notify the NAHC, which will determine and notify a most likely descendant (MLD). The MLD has 48 hours from being granted site access to make recommendations for the disposition of the remains. If the MLD does not make recommendations within 48 hours, the landowner shall reinter the remains in an area of the property secure from subsequent disturbance. Therefore, with implementation mitigation measure CUL-2, impacts would be reduced to a less-than-significant level. Mitigation Measures See mitigation measure CUL-2 under Checklist Question 3.5(a) above. CUMULATIVE IMPACTS As discussed above, the Project would not result in a significant impact to cultural resources. The Project Site does not contain any known cultural resources and mitigation measures have been included to prevent impacts to such resources in the event that unknown resources are accidentally encountered. It is unknown whether or not any of the properties on which the related projects are located contain cultural resources. Any related project sites that contain historical, archaeological, or human remains would be required to comply with state regulations similar to those that would be required for the Project. Nonetheless, as there are no known cultural resources on the Project Site (see analysis above), there is no potential for the Project to contribute to a cumulative impact. Overall, based on the above, cumulative impacts associated with archaeological resources, tribal cultural resources, and human remains would be less than significant.

Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated Less than Significant Impact No Impact Would the project: a. Result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project construction or operation?

b. Conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency? The following analysis of energy impacts that could potentially occur as a result of construction or operation of the Project is based, in part, on the CalEEMod modeling prepared for the Project’s Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas analyses and the Operational Transportation Energy Worksheets (Energy Worksheets). The CalEEMod modeling outputs and Energy Worksheets are included as Appendix B and Appendix E to this IS/MND, respectively. a) Would the project result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project construction or operation? Less than Significant Impact. Construction Petroleum-based fuels, such as gasoline and diesel, would be the primary sources of energy for the Project’s construction activities. This is because construction activities, including the construction of new buildings and facilities, typically do not involve the consumption of natural gas. In addition, most of the electric-powered construction equipment would be hand tools (e.g., power drills, table saws, compressors) and lighting, which would be turned off when not in use to avoid unnecessary consumption. Overall, the use of electricity during construction would be temporary and is typically a fraction of the electrical demand during operation, which, as detailed below, would be well within the supply capabilities of the provider. Petroleum-based fuels would be required to power off-road construction vehicles and equipment on the Project Site, construction worker travel to and from the Project Site, and vehicles used to deliver materials to the Site.

Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 58 Consumption of transportation fuel during construction would be temporary in nature, and construction equipment used would be typical of similar-sized construction projects in the region. Construction activities would utilize fuel-efficient equipment consistent with state and federal regulations and the contractor would be required to comply with the California Air Resource Board (CARB)’s In-Use Off-Road Diesel Fueled Fleets Regulation that restricts the idling of heavy-duty diesel motor vehicles and governs the accelerated retrofitting, repowering, or replacement of heavy-duty diesel on- and off-road equipment. In addition, per applicable regulatory requirements, the Project would comply with construction waste management practices to divert construction and demolition debris. These practices would result in efficient use of transportation-energy necessary to construct the Project. Furthermore, construction schedules and processes are already designed to be efficient in order to avoid excess monetary costs. For example, equipment and fuel are not typically used wastefully due to the added expense associated with renting the equipment, maintaining it, and fueling it. Operation Electricity and Natural Gas During operation of the Project, electricity and natural gas would be consumed for multiple purposes, including, but not limited to, HVAC, refrigeration, water heating, lighting, and the use of electronics, equipment, and appliances. According to the Project’s CalEEMod modeling (see Appendix B), the Project would have an electrical demand of 438,415 kilowatt-hours (or 0.44 gigawatt-hours [GWh]) per year and a natural gas demand of 394 cubic feet per year28 (or 1.1 cubic feet [cf] per day). Electricity would be provided to the Project Site by Southern California Edison (SCE), which projects that its total sales in 2027 (the Project’s operational year) will be 83,735 gigawatt-hours (GWh).29 Natural gas would be provided to the Project Site by Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas), which projects that natural gas consumption within the planning area will be approximately 2,219 million cf per day in 2027.30 As such, the Project’s demands for electricity and natural gas would represent negligible portions of the energy consumption SCE and SoCalGas anticipate and have planned supplies for within their service areas. The Project would be required to comply with all standards set in California Building Code (CBC) Title 24, which would minimize the wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources during operation. California’s Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen; Title 24, Part 11) requires implementation of energy efficient light fixtures and building materials into the 28 Note that CalEEMod reports the natural gas consumption as 409,074 British thermal units (Btu) per year. In 2023, the United States annual average heat content of natural gas delivered to end-use sectors averaged 1,038 Btu per cubic foot. 409,074 Btu per year / 1,038 Btu per cubic foot (cf) = 394 cf per year.

Furthermore, the 2022 Building Energy Efficiency Standards of the California Energy Code (CBC Title 24, Part 6) requires newly constructed buildings to meet energy performance standards set by the Energy Commission. These standards are specifically crafted for new buildings to result in energy efficient performance so that the buildings do not result in wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy. The standards are updated every three years and each iteration is more energy efficient than the previous standards. Furthermore, the Project would continue to reduce its use of nonrenewable energy resources as the electricity generated by renewable resources provided by SCE continues to increase to comply with state requirements through Senate Bill 100 (SB 100), which requires electricity providers to increase procurement from eligible renewable energy resources to 60 percent by 2030 and 100 percent by 2045. Petroleum-Based Fuels Transportation-related energy in the form of gasoline and diesel fuel would also be consumed during Project operations related to water usage, solid waste disposal, and vehicle trips to and from the Project Site by employees and visitors. According to the Project’s CalEEMod modeling (see Appendix B of this document), the Project would result in 4,640,967 annual VMT. According to CARB’s On-Road Emissions Factor (EMFAC) model, in Riverside County, diesel-powered vehicles will account for 13.86 percent of all on-road VMT and will have an average fuel efficiency weighted for percentage of miles traveled of 9 miles per gallon (mpg) in 2027, while gasoline-powered vehicles will account for 74.37 percent of on-road VMT with a fuel efficiency of 23 mpg; electric-powered vehicles, fuel-cell-electric-powered vehicles, natural-gas-powered vehicles, and plug-in hybrid vehicles will account for the remaining on-road VMT.31 Accordingly, using the same percentages of VMT and average fuel economy projected by EMFAC, operation of the Project would consume approximately 71,471 gallons of diesel fuel and 150,065 gallons of gasoline per year.32 According to CARB’s EMFAC model, on-road vehicles in Riverside County will consume approximately 299 million gallons of diesel and approximately 542 million gallons of gasoline in 2027.33 Accordingly, fuel consumption by visitors and employees during operation of the Project would represent a negligible portion of fuel consumed in the County. Over the lifetime of the Project, the fuel efficiency of vehicles is expected to increase as a result of numerous regulations in place that require and encourage increased fuel efficiency, such as efforts to accelerate the number of plug-in hybrids and zero-emissions vehicles in California, and increasingly stringent emissions standards. As a result, the amount of petroleum consumed as a 31 California Air Resources Board, EMFAC2025 on-road vehicle emissions factor model (Modeling input: Riverside County; Fleet Aggregate; Annual; 2027).

Additionally, as detailed in response to Checklist Question 3.17(a), the Project would not conflict with circulation system plans pertaining to alternative modes of transportation. Summary Based on the above, although the Project would increase energy use at the Project Site, the electrical, natural gas, and petroleum-based fuel demands would be a small fraction of projected demands within the service area of suppliers and, due to efficiency increases, are expected to diminish over time (particularly with respect to petroleum). As such, the Project would not result in the wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy during construction or operation and impacts would be less than significant. Mitigation Measures None required. b) Would the project conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency? Less than Significant Impact. State regulations for energy efficiency are contained within California’s Building Energy Efficiency Standards and CALGreen, both of which are set forth in CCR Title 24. California’s Building Energy Efficiency Standards were established in 1978 and serve to enhance and regulate California’s building standards. These standards include regulations for residential and non-residential buildings constructed in California to reduce energy demand and consumption. The Building Energy Efficiency Standards are updated every 3 years to incorporate and consider new energy efficiency technologies and methodologies. CALGreen institutes mandatory minimum environmental performance standards for all ground-up, new construction of commercial, low-rise residential, and state-owned buildings, as well as schools and hospitals. The new 2022 standards became effect on January 1, 2023. As enforced through Title 8 of the MMP, the Project would be required to meet Building Energy Efficiency Standards and CALGreen standards to reduce energy demand and increase energy efficiency. At the regional/local level, the Project would also be subject to the policies set forth in SCAG’s Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). SCAG’s Connect SoCal 2024 is the most recent update to their RTP/SCS. Connect SoCal is a regional growth-management strategy that targets per-capita GHG reduction from passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks in the Southern California region pursuant to Senate Bill (SB) 375. With regard to individual developments, such as the Project, Connect SoCal’s goal is to create human-centered communities (i.e., “15-Minute Communities”) to increase mobility options and reduce travel distances. The strategies and policies set forth in Connect SoCal include supporting local jurisdictions and private developers to redevelop underutilized properties and increasing access Item Title: 11.1

The Project would develop an unutilized site with neighborhood-serving commercial land uses within an existing residential community adjacent to other commercial amenities. The Site’s location adjacent to existing transit and bicycle facilities would serve to reduce per-employee VMT and associated fuel consumption within the region, consistent with the goals of Connect SoCal. The Project would include bike racks in support of multimodal transportation, as well as electric-vehicle charging stations and solar panels in support of reduced-emissions and renewable energy sources. Based on the above, the Project would implement features and systems designed to reduce the consumption of energy and has been located consistent with policies designed to reduce VMT. Therefore, the Project would not conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency. Impact would be less than significant. Mitigation Measures None required. CUMULATIVE IMPACTS Cumulative development would increase demand for energy resources within the state and across the county. However, new iterations of the California Building Energy Efficiency Standards and CALGreen would require increasingly more efficient appliances and building materials that reduce energy consumption in new development. As described above, the Project would be constructed in accordance with the California Building Energy Efficiency Standards and CALGreen. The Project’s electricity and natural gas consumption would a negligible percent of the anticipated and planned for consumption within the SCE and SoCalGas service areas. Cumulative projects would also be required by the City, as applicable, to conform to current federal, state, and local energy conservation standards, including the California Energy Code Building Energy Efficiency Standards (24 CCR Part 6), the CALGreen Code (24 CCR Part 11), and SB 743. Therefore, the energy demand and use associated with the Project and cumulative projects would not substantially contribute to a cumulative impact on existing or proposed energy supplies or resources, and would not cause a significant cumulative impact on energy resources. Future development would be subject to the Title 24 standards in place at the time of construction. It is speculative whether other projects would conflict with a state or local plan for renewable energy. However, future projects would be subject to CEQA and would evaluate whether they would conflict with applicable plans. The Project would not conflict with applicable plans for renewable energy because it would be required to conform to current federal, state, and local energy conservation standards, including the California Energy Code Building Energy Efficiency Standards (24 CCR Part 6), the CALGreen Code (24 CCR Part 11), and SB 743. Because the Project would be consistent with the underlying land use designation of the Project Site, the Project’s development and employee growth has been anticipated in planning projections for the region (SCAG’s Connect SoCal) and would not represent new energy demands Item Title: 11.1

Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 64 The following analysis of impacts related to geology and soils that could potentially occur as a result of construction or operation of the Project is based, in part, on the Project’s Preliminary Geotechnical Interpretive Report (Geotechnical Report) prepared by Earth Strata Geotechnical Services, Inc., in May 2023. The Geotechnical Report 34 is included as Appendix F to this IS/MND and its findings, conclusions, and recommendations are incorporated by reference herein. Work conducted pursuant to the Project’s Geotechnical Report included a field exploration consisting of five exploratory borings to a maximum depth of 30 feet below the ground surface, laboratory testing of soil samples collected during advancement of the soil borings in order to determine pertinent physical and chemical soil properties, and an engineering analysis of the Project. The Project’s Paleo Assessment was written in accordance with the guidelines set forth by the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology and included a review of existing geologic maps and primary literature regarding fossiliferous geologic units within the Project Site vicinity and region, as well as a search of pertinent local and regional museum repository records for paleontological localities within and nearby the Project area. a) Would the project directly or indirectly cause substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving: i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42? No Impact. The California Geological Survey establishes regulatory zones, called Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zones, surrounding the surface trace of active faults in California. These zones identify areas where a potential surface fault rupture could prove hazardous for buildings used for human occupancy. For the purposes of the Alquist-Priolo Act, an “active” fault is one that has ruptured in the last 11,000 years (or a Holocene-active fault). The Project Site is not within a state-designated Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone for surface fault rupture hazards35 and no Holocene-active or pre-Holocene faults with the potential for surface fault rupture are known to pass directly beneath the Site. As such, the Geotechnical Report determined that the potential for surface rupture due to faulting occurring beneath the Site during the design life of the Project is very low to remote.36 In addition, the Project would not involve mining operations or deep excavation that could create unstable seismic conditions or stresses in the Earth’s crust. Accordingly, the Project would not exacerbate existing fault rupture conditions. Therefore, the Project would not 34 Earth Strata Geotechnical Services, Inc., Preliminary Geotechnical Interpretive Report, Proposed Commercial Development, Assessor’s Parcel Number 364-030-016, Located South of Newport Road and West of Menifee Road, City of Menifee, Riverside County, California, Project No. 234941-10A, May 11, 2023. 35 California Department of Conservation, California Earthquake Hazards Zone Application map, https://maps.conservation.ca.gov/cgs/EQZApp/app/, accessed September 2025. 36 Earth Strata Geotechnical Services, Inc., Preliminary Geotechnical Interpretive Report, Proposed Commercial Development, Assessor’s Parcel Number 364-030-016, Located South of Newport Road and West of Menifee Road, City of Menifee, Riverside County, California, Project No. 234941-10A, May 11, 2023, page 6.

Mitigation Measures None required. ii) Strong seismic ground shaking? Less than Significant Impact. Although no faults are known to cross the Project Site, the Site is located in the seismically active Southern California region, which generally experiences moderate to strong ground shaking in the event of an earthquake on any of the many active faults in the region. The closest known active fault to the Project Site is the Elsinore Fault, which is located approximately 8 miles to the southwest and has a maximum modal magnitude of 7.27.37 In addition, numerous active faults, including buried thrust faults without surface traces, cross-cross the Southern California region and could result in moderate to significant ground shaking. Accordingly, the Site could be subjected to strong ground shaking in the event of an earthquake. However, this hazard is common in Southern California and the effects of ground shaking can be mitigated if the proposed structures are designed and constructed in conformance with current building codes and engineering practices. State and local code requirements ensure that buildings are designed and constructed in a manner that, although the buildings may sustain damage during a major earthquake, would reduce the substantial risk that buildings would collapse. Specifically, the state and City mandate compliance with numerous rules related to seismic safety, including the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act, Seismic Safety Act, Seismic Hazards Mapping Act, the City’s General Plan Safety Element, and the Menifee Building Code. Pursuant to those laws, the Project must demonstrate compliance with the applicable provisions of these safety requirements before permits can be issued for construction. The Menifee Building Code incorporates current seismic design provisions of the 2022 California Building Code, with City amendments, to minimize seismic impacts. The 2022 California Building Code incorporates the latest seismic design standards for structural loads and materials, as well as provisions from the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program to mitigate losses from an earthquake and maximize earthquake safety. To ensure compliance with applicable state and local standards and requirements, Section 7.90.070 of the MMC requires preparation of geotechnical reports for review and approval by the City Engineer/Public Works Director. The Project’s Geotechnical Report (Appendix F) calculated site-specific seismic design criteria based on peak ground 37 Earth Strata Geotechnical Services, Inc., Preliminary Geotechnical Interpretive Report, Proposed Commercial Development, Assessor’s Parcel Number 364-030-016, Located South of Newport Road and West of Menifee Road, City of Menifee, Riverside County, California, Project No. 234941-10A, May 11, 2023, page 6.

With incorporation of the site- and project-specific recommendations, the Geotechnical Report concluded that the Project Site is suitable for development of the Project and the Project would not have adverse geotechnical effects on the surrounding developments.38 Consistent with Section 7.90.070 of the MMC, incorporation of the recommendations contained within the Geotechnical Report would be ensured through their establishment as conditions of the Project’s grading permit. Given the nature of the proposed commercial uses, completion of the Project would not cause seismic ground shaking to occur. The Project would not involve mining operations, deep excavations into the earth, or borings of large areas and thus would not exacerbate potential onsite seismic conditions. As a result, the Project would not directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving strong seismic ground shaking, and impacts would be less than significant. Mitigation Measures None required. iii) Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? Less than Significant Impact. Different types of ground failure that could occur as a consequence of severe ground shaking include landslides, ground lurching, shallow ground rupture and liquefaction/lateral spreading. The probability of occurrence of each type of ground failure depends on the severity of the earthquake, distance from faults, topography, the state of the subsurface materials, and groundwater conditions. Based on the subsurface exploration of the Site and laboratory testing of the subsurface materials, the Geotechnical Report determined that these secondary effects of seismic activity are considered unlikely for the Project Site. Specifically with regard to liquefaction, the Geotechnical Report determined that the Project would be supported by compacted fill and competent old alluvium and that the depth to groundwater (greater than 50 feet below the ground surface) is relatively deep beneath the Site. As such, the potential for seismically induced liquefaction and lateral spreading beneath the proposed structures was concluded to be very low to remote.39 In addition, development of the Project would occur in compliance with regulatory requirements for site- and project-specific seismic design, including the California Building Code and the MMC, and is required to be constructed in accordance with the 38 Earth Strata Geotechnical Services, Inc., Preliminary Geotechnical Interpretive Report, Proposed Commercial Development, Assessor’s Parcel Number 364-030-016, Located South of Newport Road and West of Menifee Road, City of Menifee, Riverside County, California, Project No. 234941-10A, May 11, 2023, pages 6 and 11. 39 Earth Strata Geotechnical Services, Inc., Preliminary Geotechnical Interpretive Report, Proposed Commercial Development, Assessor’s Parcel Number 364-030-016, Located South of Newport Road and West of Menifee Road, City of Menifee, Riverside County, California, Project No. 234941-10A, May 11, 2023, page 12.

Landslide debris was not observed during subsurface exploration and no ancient landslides have been mapped or are known to exist on or in the vicinity of the Site. Geologic mapping and review of aerial imagery conducted during preparation of the Geotechnical Report did not reveal geomorphic expressions indicative of landsliding.40 Therefore, the Project would not directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving landslides, and impacts would be less than significant. Mitigation Measures None required. b) Would the project result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? Less than Significant Impact. Construction activities would temporarily expose soils to wind and water erosion, which in turn could result in sedimentation of downstream drainages. However, as discussed in detail in response to Checklist Question 3.10(a), pursuant to National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Construction General Permit adopted by the State Water Resource Control Board (SWRCB), the Project would be required to prepare a site-specific Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) outlining the Project’s BMPs to prevent the discharge of pollutants in stormwater runoff during construction. The SWPPP would set forth BMPs for stormwater and non-stormwater discharges to minimize erosion. BMPs can include physical barriers such as sandbags and straw wattles at storm drain inlets; limitations on work periods during storm events; stabilized construction entrance/exit; protection of stockpiled materials; and a variety of other measures that can substantially reduce the potential for erosion and sedimentation. Compliance with NPDES Construction General Permit requirements and SWPPP protocols would be ensured as part of the standard grading plan check prior to the issuance of grading or building permits pursuant to MMC Section 7.90.050.

Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 68 also requires the Project to incorporate an erosion control plan into the grading plan. Additionally, as discussed in Section 3.9, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, all hazardous materials required for construction would be used and stored in designated construction staging areas within the boundaries of the Project Site and their transport, use, and storage would be conducted in accordance with all applicable state and federal laws. As also discussed in detail in response to Checklist Question 3.10(a), the Santa Ana Region Area-Wide Urban Runoff Management Program (MS4) Permit also requires projects to implement low-impact development (LID) features during operation in order to reduce urban runoff pollution to the “maximum extent practicable.” In addition to preventing the discharge of pollution, LID features also prevent erosion and siltation. The Project’s LID features include temporary retention and treatment of surface runoff prior to discharge to the existing storm drain in Newport Road. As the majority of the Project Site would be covered in impervious surfaces and no areas of exposed soil would be permitted at the Site, the proposed treatment system would have no contact with eroded soils or sediment prior to discharge into the public storm drain system. In addition, all miscellaneous areas of pervious surfaces (e.g., landscaping) would be contained and secured with plantings or other ground cover, which would prevent areas of exposed soil. Surface drainage at the Site currently sheet flows over the Site’s weeds/grasses and soil toward Newport Road. Therefore, the Project’s developed conditions would decrease the potential for erosion on or in the vicinity of the Site. Based on the above, the Project would not result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil, and impacts would be less than significant. Mitigation Measures None required. c) Would the project be located on a geologic unit that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse? Less than Significant Impact. As detailed above in response to Checklist Question 3.7(a), the geologic units at the Project Site are not considered susceptible to liquefaction/lateral spread or landslides. In addition, no conditions that could contribute to soil instability effects, such as steep slopes susceptible to landslides and/or free faces susceptible to lateral spread, are known to exist in the surrounding vicinity of the Site. Subsidence is the gradual settling or sudden collapse (i.e., compaction) of the soil surface due to the removal of subsurface materials, most often groundwater, oil, natural gas, or mineral resources. Soils that are particularly subject to subsidence include those with high silt or clay content. The Project Site is not located within an area of known ground subsidence and no large-scale extraction of subsurface materials is occurring at or in the vicinity of the Site. The Geotechnical Report concluded that subsidence is expected to be negligible to approximately Item Title: 11.1

0.01-foot.41 In addition, the Project would not require and does not propose the direct withdraw or extraction of subsurface materials, the removal of which could cause subsidence. Collapsible soils are generally dry, low density, silty soils with high void space or air gaps between the soil grains that compact and collapse when saturated with water. Soil collapse can occur just by the weight of the soil itself or the weight of a structure, such as a foundation. The results of laboratory testing conducted on the soil beneath the Project Site indicated that the topsoil at the Site is slightly moist and loose, while the underlying alluvium is slightly moist to moist, medium dense to very dense. Accordingly, the Project’s Geotechnical Report includes site- and project-specific recommendations for ground preparation of fill areas intended to diminish the potential for hydro-consolidation (collapse), slope instability, and/or settlement. Specifically, the Geotechnical Report recommends remedial grading extend beyond the perimeter of proposed structures a horizontal distance equal to the depth of the excavation or a minimum of five feet, whichever is greater, resulting in removal depths varying from three to five feet below existing grade in building areas and two to three feet below existing grade in parking lot areas.42 Furthermore, surface runoff from the Project would be collected in a network of grated inlets and directed to a temporary underground detention basin prior to discharge into the storm drain network, thereby preventing the saturation of the soil beneath the Site or adjacent properties. Based on the above, the Project would not be located on an unstable geologic unit that would result in onsite liquefaction, lateral spread, landslide, or subsidence, and the onsite potential for collapse would be addressed through adherence to the site- and project-specific development recommendations contained within the Project’s Geotechnical Report. In addition, the Project would not result an unstable soil conditions off-site; temporary excavations, including those located in proximity to existing structures on adjacent properties, would be supported with sloping or shoring measures to ensure stable excavations and lateral support of existing buildings, and retaining wall design and drainage would achieve the support required based on anticipated soil pressures and forces. The Project would not involve excavation of a hillside and does not propose the ongoing withdraw or extraction of subsurface materials. As such, the Project would not cause off-site conditions related to unstable soil. Furthermore, development of the Project would occur in compliance with regulatory requirements for construction site management and geologic conditions, including the California Building Code and the MMC, and would be required to implement the recommendations of the site- and project-specific Geotechnical Report. Compliance with building codes and implementation of the recommendations of the Geotechnical Report would be ensured through the City’s review and approval of Project grading plans prior to the issuance of construction and grading permits. 41 Earth Strata Geotechnical Services, Inc., Preliminary Geotechnical Interpretive Report, Proposed Commercial Development, Assessor’s Parcel Number 364-030-016, Located South of Newport Road and West of Menifee Road, City of Menifee, Riverside County, California, Project No. 234941-10A, May 11, 2023, page 9. 42 Earth Strata Geotechnical Services, Inc., Preliminary Geotechnical Interpretive Report, Proposed Commercial Development, Assessor’s Parcel Number 364-030-016, Located South of Newport Road and West of Menifee Road, City of Menifee, Riverside County, California, Project No. 234941-10A, May 11, 2023, page 7.

Mitigation Measures None required. d) Would the project be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial direct or indirect risks to life or property? Less than Significant Impact. Expansive soils are soils that expand when water is added and shrink when dry. According to the Project’s Geotechnical Report, the onsite soils exhibit an expansions potential of Very Low.43 Site- and project-specific recommendations for footings and building floor slabs were outlined in the Geotechnical Report according to this potential. With incorporation of the site- and project-specific recommendations, the Geotechnical Report concluded that the Project Site is suitable for development of the Project and the Project would not have adverse geotechnical effects on the surrounding developments.44 Consistent with Section 7.90.070 of the MMC, incorporation of the recommendations contained within the Geotechnical Report would be ensured through their establishment as conditions of the Project’s grading permit. As such, impacts related to expansive soil would be less than significant. Mitigation Measures None required. e) Would the project have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative waste water disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of waste water? No Impact. The Project would be served by the existing City sewer system, and no septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal system would be required. As a result, no impacts would occur. Mitigation Measures None required. 43 Earth Strata Geotechnical Services, Inc., Preliminary Geotechnical Interpretive Report, Proposed Commercial Development, Assessor’s Parcel Number 364-030-016, Located South of Newport Road and West of Menifee Road, City of Menifee, Riverside County, California, Project No. 234941-10A, May 11, 2023, page 15. 44 Earth Strata Geotechnical Services, Inc., Preliminary Geotechnical Interpretive Report, Proposed Commercial Development, Assessor’s Parcel Number 364-030-016, Located South of Newport Road and West of Menifee Road, City of Menifee, Riverside County, California, Project No. 234941-10A, May 11, 2023, pages 6 and 11.

Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 71 f) Would the project directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature? Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. A unique geologic feature is a rare, distinct, or scientifically valuable natural landform or formation, such as caves, lava fields, or exposed structural characteristic like rock outcrops, folds, and faults that could provide scientific understanding of the geologic history of the area or region. The Project Site is generally flat and covered in annual weeds/grasses. No unique geologic features described above exist on or in the vicinity of the Site. However, according to the City’s General Plan, the Project Site is located in an area with high paleologic sensitivity.45 The Project Site is underlain by Quaternary old alluvial fan deposits. Previously discovered paleontological resources within the region’s Quaternary deposits (specifically from the Pleistocene Epoch of the Quaternary Period) have included mammoths, mastodons, ground sloths, dire wolves, short-faced bears, saber-toothed cats, horses, camels, and bison.46 Ground-disturbing activities within previously undisturbed sediments with high paleologic sensitivity could result in significant impacts to paleontological resources within those sediments. Accordingly, General Plan Implementation Action OSC-38 states that paleontological monitoring is required in areas identified as likely to contain paleontological resources, such as areas mapped as having high paleontological sensitivity. Therefore, mitigation measure GEO-1 requiring paleontological monitoring of ground-disturbing activities and proper treatment consistent with regulatory standards is required for the Project. Impacts to paleontological resources would be less than significant with mitigation. Mitigation Measures GEO-1 Qualified Professional Paleontologist. Prior to excavation, the Project Applicant shall retain a Qualified Professional Paleontologist, as defined by the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology (2010), who shall direct all mitigation measures related to paleontological resources. Paleontological Worker Environmental Awareness Program. Prior to the star of construction, the Qualified Professional Paleontologist or their designee shall conduct a Paleontological Worker Awareness Program (WEAP) training for construction personnel regarding the appearance of fossils and the procedures for notifying paleontological staff should construction personnel discover fossils. Paleontological Monitoring and Salvage. Full-time paleontological monitoring shall be conducted during ground-disturbing construction activities within previously undisturbed sediments assigned high paleontological sensitivity. Paleontological monitoring shall be conducted by a paleontological monitor with experience with collections and salvage of 45 City of Menifee, General Plan, Open Space and Conservation Element, Exhibit OSC-4: Paleologic Resource Sensitivity, August 6, 2013. 46 City of Menifee, General Plan, Open Space and Conservation Background Documents & Definitions, page 8.

The Qualified Professional Paleontologist may recommend that monitoring be reduced in frequency or ceased entirely based on geologic observations, such as the recognition that sediments disturbed by Project activities consist of disturbed and/or non-fossil-bearing fill sediments. Such decisions shall be subject to the review and approval of the City. In the event of a fossil discovery by the paleontological monitor or construction personnel, all construction activity within 50 feet of the find shall cease, and the Qualified Professional Paleontologist shall evaluate the find. If it is determined that the find is scientifically significant, the following shall be completed: Fossil Salvage. The paleontological monitor shall salvage (excavate and recover) the find to protect it from damage/destruction. Typically, fossils can be safely salvaged quickly by a single paleontological monitor with minimal disruption to construction activities. In some cases, larger fossils (such as complete skeletons or large mammal fossils) require more extensive excavation and longer salvage periods. Bulk matrix sampling may be necessary to recover small invertebrates or microvertebrates from within paleontologically sensitive deposits. After the find is salvaged, construction activity may resume. Fossil Preparation and Curation. Fossils shall be identified to the lowest (most-specific) possible taxonomic level, prepared to a curation-ready condition, and curated in a scientific institution with a permanent paleontological collection along with all pertinent field notes, photos, data, and maps. Fossils of undetermined significance at the time of collection may also warrant curation at the discretion of the Qualified Professional Paleontologist. Final Paleontological Mitigation Report. Upon completion of ground-disturbing activities (or laboratory preparation and curation of fossils, if necessary), the Qualified Professional Paleontologist shall prepare a final report describing the results of the paleontological monitoring efforts. The report shall include a summary of the field and laboratory methods employed; an overview of Site geology; and, if fossils were discovered, analysis of the fossils, including physical description, taxonomic identification, and scientific significance. The report shall be submitted to the City and, if fossil curation occurred, the designated scientific institution. CUMULATIVE IMPACTS Potential cumulative impacts on geology and soils could result from projects that combine to exacerbate geologic hazards, including seismically-induced ground failure or unstable geologic conditions. However, most, if not all, geology and soil hazards associated with development projects would be site-specific and are typically reduced to less-than-significant levels with adherence to building code requirements, such that they do not combine to become cumulatively considerable.

Incorporation of engineering design standards and requirements, implementation of required construction practices, and implementation of the recommendations in the Geotechnical Report would ensure that the potential for geological impacts resulting from the Project would be less than significant. Because geologic hazards are site-specific and not cumulative in nature, the Project would not result in a cumulatively considerable impact related to geologic hazards. Potential cumulative impacts to paleontological resources could occur if development of the Project and related projects throughout the City and region disturb or destroy such resource during ground-disturbing activities. As detailed above, the Project would incorporate mitigation measure GEO-1, which would ensure paleontological monitoring of ground-disturbing activities and proper treatment of any encountered paleontological resources in the event of their discovery consistent with applicable regulatory standards. The paleologic sensitivity of other development sites are not known; however, all development plans would be subject to review and approval of their jurisdiction and would be required to incorporate all mitigation measures and/or standard conditions of approval consistent with the requirements and standards of that jurisdiction. Within the City, development at sites within areas of high paleologic sensitivity would be required to conduct paleontological monitoring consistent with General Plan Implementation Action OSC-38. As such, impacts to paleontological resources would not be cumulatively significant.

3.8 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Potentially Significant Impact Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated Less than Significant Impact No Impact Would the project: a. Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment? b. Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases? The following analysis of impacts related to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that could potentially occur as a result of construction or operation of the Project is primarily based on the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) modeling results for the Project’s construction and operational activities. The results of the CalEEMod emissions modeling are attached to this IS/MND as Appendix B. Global Climate Change California is a substantial contributor of global GHGs, emitting over 371.1 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MTCO2e) per year.47 Methane (CH4) is also an important GHG that potentially contributes to global climate change. GHGs are global in their effect, which is to increase the earth’s ability to absorb heat in the atmosphere. As primary GHGs have a long lifetime in the atmosphere, accumulate over time, and are generally well-mixed, their impact on the atmosphere is mostly independent of the point of emission. Every nation emits GHGs and as a result makes an incremental cumulative contribution to global climate change; therefore, global cooperation will be required to reduce the rate of GHG emissions enough to slow or stop the human-caused increase in average global temperatures and associated changes in climatic conditions. The impact of human activities on global climate change is apparent in the observational record. Air trapped by ice has been extracted from core samples taken from polar ice sheets to determine the global atmospheric variation of carbon dioxide (CO2), CH4, and nitrous dioxide (N2O) from before the start of industrialization (approximately 1750), to over 650,000 years ago. For that period, it was found that CO2 concentrations ranged from 180 to 300 parts per million (ppm). For the period from approximately 1750 to the present, global CO2 concentrations increased from a pre-industrialization period concentration of 280 to 379 ppm in 2005, with the 2005 value far exceeding the upper end of the pre-industrial period 47 California Air Resources Board, California Greenhouse Gas Emissions for 2000 to 2022, September 20, 2024 Item Title: 11.1

As of September 2024, the highest monthly average concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere was recorded at 426.5 ppm.48 Regulatory Framework Federal The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) constructed several emission trajectories of GHGs needed to stabilize global temperatures and climate change impacts. It concluded that stabilization of GHGs at 400 to 450 ppm carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e)49 concentration is required to keep global mean warming below two degrees Celsius, which in turn is assumed to be necessary to avoid dangerous climate change. State Various Statewide and local initiatives to reduce the State’s contribution to GHG emissions have raised awareness that, even though the various contributors to and consequences of global climate change are not yet fully understood, global climate change is under way, and there is a real potential for severe adverse environmental, social, and economic effects in the long term. Assembly Bill 32 (California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006) California passed the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32; California Health and Safety Code Division 25.5, Sections 38500 - 38599). AB 32 establishes regulatory, reporting, and market mechanisms to achieve quantifiable reductions in GHG emissions and establishes a cap on Statewide GHG emissions. AB 32 requires that statewide GHG emissions be reduced to 1990 levels by 2020. AB 32 specifies that regulations adopted in response to AB 1493 should be used to address GHG emissions from vehicles. However, AB 32 also includes language stating that if the AB 1493 regulations cannot be implemented, then the CARB should develop new regulations to control vehicle GHG emissions under the authorization of AB 32. Executive Order S-3-05 Executive Order S-3-05 set forth a series of target dates by which Statewide emissions of GHGs would be progressively reduced, as follows: • By 2010, reduce GHG emissions to 2000 levels; • By 2020, reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels; and • By 2050, reduce GHG emissions to 80 percent below 1990 levels. 48 Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Carbon Dioxide Concentration at Mauna Loa Observatory, https://keelingcurve.ucsd.edu/, accessed October 2025. 49 Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (CO2e) – A metric measure used to compare the emissions from various greenhouse gases based upon their global warming potential.

Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 76 Senate Bill 32 Signed into law on September 2016, SB 32 codifies the 2030 GHG reduction target in Executive Order B-30-15 (40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030). The bill authorizes CARB to adopt an interim GHG emissions level target to be achieved by 2030. CARB Scoping Plan On December 11, 2008, CARB adopted the Climate Change Scoping Plan (Scoping Plan), which functions as a roadmap to achieve GHG reductions in California required by AB 32 through subsequently enacted regulations. The Scoping Plan contains the main strategies California will implement to reduce GHG emissions by 174 million metric tons (MT), or approximately 30 percent, from the State’s projected 2020 emissions level of 596 million MTCO2e under a business as usual (BAU) scenario. This is a reduction of 42 million MTCO2e, or almost ten percent, from 2002 to 2004 average emissions, but requires the reductions in the face of population and economic growth through 2020. The Scoping Plan calculates 2020 BAU emissions as the emissions that would be expected to occur in the absence of any GHG reduction measures. The 2020 BAU emissions estimate was derived by projecting emissions from a past baseline year using growth factors specific to each of the different economic sectors (e.g., transportation, electrical power, commercial and residential, industrial, etc.). CARB used three-year average emissions, by sector, for 2002 to 2004 to forecast emissions to 2020. The measures described in the Scoping Plan are intended to reduce the projected 2020 BAU to 1990 levels, as required by AB 32. AB 32 requires CARB to update the Scoping Plan at least once every five years. CARB adopted the first major update to the Scoping Plan on May 22, 2014. The updated Scoping Plan identifies the actions California has already taken to reduce GHG emissions and focuses on areas where further reductions could be achieved to help meet the 2020 target established by AB 32. The Scoping Plan update also looks beyond 2020 toward the 2050 goal, established in Executive Order S-3-05, and observes that “a mid-term statewide emission limit will ensure that the State stays on course to meet our long-term goal.” On January 20, 2017, CARB released the proposed Second Update to the Scoping Plan, which identifies the State’s post-2020 reduction strategy. The Second Update was finalized in November 2017 and approved on December 14, 2017 and reflects the 2030 target of a 40 percent reduction below 1990 levels, set by Executive Order B-30-15 and codified by SB 32. The 2017 Scoping Plan Update establishes a new Statewide emissions limit of 260 million MTCO2e for the year 2030, which corresponds to a 40 percent decrease in 1990 levels by 2030. On December 15, 2022, CARB released the 2022 Scoping Plan for Achieving Carbon Neutrality (2022 Scoping Plan), which identifies the strategies achieving carbon neutrality by 2045 or earlier. The 2022 Scoping Plan contains the GHG reductions, technology, and clean energy mandated by statutes. The 2022 Scoping Plan was developed to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045 through a substantial reduction in fossil fuel dependence, while at the same time increasing deployment of efficient non-combustion technologies and distribution of clean energy. The plan would also reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) and would include mechanical CO2 capture and sequestration actions, as well as emissions and Item Title: 11.1

Under 2022 Scoping Plan, by 2045, California aims to cut GHG emissions by 85 percent below 1990 levels, reduce smog-forming air pollution by 71 percent, reduce the demand for liquid petroleum by 94 percent compared to current usage, improve health and welfare, and create millions of new jobs. This plan also builds upon current and previous environmental justice efforts to integrate environmental justice directly into the plan, to ensure that all communities can reap the benefits of this transformational plan. Specifically, this plan: • Identifies a path to keep California on track to meet its SB 32 GHG reduction target of at least 40 percent below 1990 emissions by 2030. • Identifies a technologically feasible, cost-effective path to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045 and a reduction in anthropogenic emissions by 85 percent below 1990 levels. • Focuses on strategies for reducing California’s dependency on petroleum to provide consumers with clean energy options that address climate change, improve air quality, and support economic growth and clean sector jobs. • Integrates equity and protecting California’s most impacted communities as driving principles throughout the document. • Incorporates the contribution of natural and working lands (NWL) to the State’s GHG emissions, as well as their role in achieving carbon neutrality. • Relies on the most up-to-date science, including the need to deploy all viable tools to address the existential threat that climate change presents, including carbon capture and sequestration, as well as direct air capture. • Evaluates the substantial health and economic benefits of taking action. • Identifies key implementation actions to ensure success. Local Regional Transportation Plan/ Sustainable Communities Strategy On September 3, 2020, the Regional Council of the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) formally adopted the Connect SoCal: 2020-2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (2020-2045 RTP/SCS). The SCS portion of the 2020-2045 RTP/SCS highlights strategies for the region to reach the regional target of reducing GHGs from autos and light-duty trucks by 8 percent per capita by 2020, and 19 percent by 2035 (compared to 2005 levels). Specially, these strategies are to: • Focus growth near destinations and mobility options; • Promote diverse housing choices; • Leverage technology innovations; • Support implementation of sustainability policies; and • Promote a green region. Furthermore, the 2020-2045 RTP/SCS discusses a variety of land use tools to help achieve the State-mandated reductions in GHG emissions through reduced per capita vehicle miles traveled (VMT).

Policy OSC-10.3: Participate in regional greenhouse gas emission reduction initiatives. Policy OSC-10.4: Consider impacts to climate change as a factor in evaluation of policies, strategies, and projects. Significance Thresholds Individual projects do not generate sufficient GHG emissions to influence climate change directly. However, physical changes caused by a project can contribute incrementally to significant cumulative effects, even if individual changes resulting from a project are limited. The issue of climate change typically involves an analysis of whether a project’s contribution towards an impact would be cumulatively considerable. “Cumulatively considerable” means the incremental effects of an individual project are significant when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, other current projects, and probable future projects (14 CCR 15064[h][1]). According to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5(b), projects can tier from a qualified GHG reduction plan, which allows for project-level evaluation of GHG emissions through the comparison of the project’s consistency with the GHG reduction policies included in a qualified GHG reduction plan. This approach is considered by the Association of Environmental Professionals in its white paper: Beyond 2020 and Newhall, to be the most defensible approach presently available under CEQA to determine the significance of a project’s GHG emissions.50 The SCAQMD formed a GHG CEQA Significance Threshold Working Group to work with SCAQMD staff on developing GHG CEQA significance thresholds until statewide significance thresholds or guidelines are established. In December 2008, the SCAQMD adopted an interim 10,000 metric tons of CO2 equivalent (MTCO2e) per year screening level threshold for stationary source/industrial projects for which the SCAQMD is the lead agency. From December 2008 to September 2010, the SCAQMD hosted working group meetings and revised the draft threshold proposal several times, although it did not officially provide these proposals in a subsequent document. The SCAQMD has continued to consider adoption of significance thresholds for residential and general land use development projects. The most recent proposal, issued in September 2010, uses the following tiered approach to evaluate potential GHG impacts from various uses:51 Tier 1 – Determine if CEQA categorical exemptions are applicable. If not, move to Tier 2. 50 Association of Environmental Professionals, Final White Paper Beyond 2020 and Newhall: A Field Guide to New CEQA Greenhouse Gas Thresholds and Climate Action Plan Targets for California, October 18, 2016, https://califaep.org/docs/AEP-2016_Final_White_Paper.pdf, accessed October 2025. 51 South Coast Air Quality Management District, Greenhouse Gases CEQA Significance Thresholds Working Group Meeting No. 15, September 28, 2010, http://www.aqmd.gov/docs/default-source/ceqa/handbook/greenhouse-gases-(ghg)-ceqa-significance-thresholds/year-2008-2009/ghg-meeting-15/ghg-meeting-15-main-presentation.pdf?sfvrsn=2, accessed October 2025 Item Title: 11.1

Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 80 Tier 2 – Consider whether or not the proposed project is consistent with a locally adopted GHG reduction plan that has gone through public hearing and CEQA review, that has an approved inventory, includes monitoring, etc. If not, move to Tier 3. Tier 3 – Consider whether the project generates GHG emissions in excess of screening thresholds for individual land uses. The 10,000 MTCO2e per year threshold for industrial uses would be recommended for use by all lead agencies. Under option 1, separate screening thresholds are proposed for residential projects (3,500 MTCO2e per year), commercial projects (1,400 MTCO2e per year), and mixed-use projects (3,000 MTCO2e per year). Under option 2, a single numerical screening threshold of 3,000 MTCO2e per year would be used for all non-industrial projects. If the project generates emissions in excess of the applicable screening threshold, move to Tier 4. Tier 4 – Consider whether the project generates GHG emissions in excess of applicable performance standards for the project service population (population plus employment). The efficiency targets were established based on the goal of AB 32 to reduce statewide GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. The 2020 efficiency targets are 4.8 MTCO2e per service population for project level analyses and 6.6 MTCO2e per service population for plan level analyses. If the project generates emissions in excess of the applicable efficiency targets, move to Tier 5. Tier 5 – Consider the implementation of CEQA mitigation including the purchase of GHG offsets to reduce the project efficiency target to Tier 4 levels. The SCAQMD’s draft threshold uses the Executive Order S-3-05 goal as the basis for the Tier 3 screening level. Achieving the Executive Order’s objective would contribute to worldwide efforts to cap carbon dioxide concentrations at 450 parts per million (ppm), thus stabilizing global climate. Specifically, the Tier 3 screening level for stationary sources is based on an emission capture rate of 90 percent for all new or modified projects. A 90 percent emission capture rate means that 90 percent of total emissions from all new or modified stationary source projects would be subject to a CEQA analysis, including a negative declaration, a mitigated negative declaration, or an environmental impact report, which includes analyzing feasible alternatives and imposing feasible mitigation measures. A GHG significance threshold based on a 90 percent emission capture rate may be more appropriate to address the long-term adverse impacts associated with global climate change because most projects will be required to implement GHG reduction measures. Further, a 90 percent emission capture rate sets the emission threshold low enough to capture a substantial fraction of future stationary source projects that will be constructed to accommodate future statewide population and economic growth, while setting the emission threshold high enough to exclude small projects that will in aggregate contribute a relatively small fraction of the cumulative statewide GHG emissions. This assertion is based on the fact that staff estimates that these GHG emissions would account for slightly less than one percent of future 2050 statewide GHG emissions target (85 MMTCO2eq/year). In addition, these small projects may be subject to future applicable GHG control regulations that would further reduce their overall future contribution to the statewide GHG inventory. Finally, these small sources are already subject to SCAQMD’s Best Available Control Technology Guidelines for criteria pollutants and are more likely to be single-permit facilities, so they are more likely to have few opportunities readily available to reduce GHG emissions from other parts of their facility.

Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 81 Because the Project consists of a retail development with a day care center, the recommended SCAQMD threshold to apply to the Project is the 3,000 MTCO2e per year for all projects. Per the SCAQMD guidance, construction emissions should be amortized over the operational life of the Project, which is assumed to be 30 years.52 This impact analysis, therefore, adds amortized construction emissions to the estimated annual operational emissions and then compares operational emissions to the proposed SCAQMD threshold of 3,000 MTCO2e per year. a) Would the project generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment? Quantification of the Project’s GHG Emissions The calculation of the amount of GHG emissions that would be attributable to the Project using recommended air quality models is described below. The primary purpose of quantifying the Project’s GHG emissions is to satisfy state CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.4(a), which calls for a good-faith effort to describe and calculate a project’s GHG emissions. The Project is anticipated to generate GHG emissions from area sources, energy usage, mobile sources, waste, water/wastewater, and construction equipment. CalEEMod Version 2022.1.1.30 was used to calculate the GHG emissions from the Project. The CalEEMod Annual Output for the Project’s operational opening year 2027 is available in Appendix B of this IS/MND. Each source of GHG emissions is described in greater detail below. Area Sources Area sources include emissions from consumer products, landscape equipment and architectural coatings. The Project would comply with SCAQMD Rule 1113 as amended on June 3, 2011. The Project’s architectural coatings would be limited to an average of 50 grams per liter or less of VOCs for building coatings and 100 grams per liter or less of VOCs for traffic coatings. The defaults were updated accordingly. Energy Usage Energy usage includes emissions from the generation of electricity and natural gas used on-site. No changes were made to the CalEEMod defaults. Mobile Sources Mobile sources include emissions from the additional vehicle miles generated from the Project. The emissions from the vehicle trips associated with the Project have been analyzed in the manner described above in Section 3.3, Air Quality, of this IS/MND. Emissions of GHGs associated with mobile sources from operation of the Project are based on the average daily trip generation rate, trip distance, the GHG emission factors for the mobile sources, and the global warming potential 52 South Coast Air Quality Management District, Draft Guidance Document – Interim CEQA Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Significance Threshold, October 2008.

The types of vehicles that would visit the Project Site include all vehicle types including automobiles, light-duty trucks, delivery trucks, and waste haul trucks. Modeling for the Project was conducted using the vehicle fleet mix for the Riverside County portion of the South Coast Air Basin as provided in EMFAC2021 and CalEEMod. Waste Waste includes the GHG emissions generated from the processing of waste from the Project as well as the GHG emissions from the waste once it is interred into a landfill. AB 341 requires that 75 percent of waste be diverted from landfills by 2020; however, to be conservative, no changes were made to the CalEEMod defaults and no reductions have been taken. Water/Wastewater Water includes the water used for the interior of the building as well as for landscaping and is based on the GHG emissions associated with the energy associated with supplying and treating water and wastewater. CALGreen standards require a 20 percent reduction in indoor water usage. To be conservative, no changes were made to the default water usage parameters and no reductions were taken. Construction The construction-related GHG emissions were also included in the analysis and were based on a 30-year amortization rate as recommended in the SCAQMD GHG Working Group meeting on November 19, 2009. The construction-related GHG emissions were calculated by CalEEMod. A summary of the results is shown below in Table 3.8-1, Project-Related GHG Emissions, and the CalEEMod outputs for the Project are provided in Appendix B of this IS/MND. As shown in Table 3.8-1, the Project’s emissions would be 1,791.91 MTCO2e per year. As the Project’s GHG emissions would be less than the 3,000 MTCO2e/year SCAQMD GHG emissions thresholds for all land uses, the Project would not generate GHG emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment. Impacts would be less than significant.

The City of Menifee does not currently have a Climate Action Plan; therefore, the Project has been compared to the goals of CARB’s Climate Change Scoping Plan (Scoping Plan), SCAG’s Connect SoCal, and Executive Order S-3-05/SB 32. CARB’s Scoping Plan CARB Board approved the Scoping Plan in December 2008. The Scoping Plan outlines the state’s strategy to achieve the 2020 GHG emissions limit. The Scoping Plan proposes a comprehensive set of actions designed to reduce overall GHG emissions in California, improve our environment, reduce our dependence on oil, diversify our energy sources, save energy, create new jobs, and enhance public health.53 The measures in the Scoping Plan have been in place since 2012. This Scoping Plan calls for an “ambitious but achievable” reduction in California’s GHG emissions, cutting approximately 30 percent from business-as-usual emission levels projected for 2020, or about 10 percent from today’s levels. On a per-capita basis, that means reducing annual emissions of 14 tons of carbon dioxide for every man, woman, and child in California down to about 10 tons per person by 2020. In addition, on May 22, 2014, CARB approved its first update to the AB 32 Scoping Plan (CARB’s First Update).54 CARB’s First Update lays the foundation for establishing a broad framework for continued emission reductions beyond 2020, on the path to 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050, and many of the emission reduction strategies recommended by CARB would serve to reduce the Project’s post-2020 emissions level to the extent required by applicable by law. In November 2017, CARB released the 2017 Scoping Plan.55 This Scoping Plan incorporates, coordinates, and leverages many existing and ongoing efforts and identifies new policies and actions to accomplish the state’s climate goals, and includes a description of a suite of specific actions to meet the state’s 2030 GHG limit. The 2017 Scoping Plan builds upon the successful framework established by the Initial Scoping Plan and First Update, while identifying new, technologically feasible, and cost-effective strategies to ensure that California meets its GHG reduction targets in a way that promotes and rewards innovation, continues to foster economic 53 California Air Resources Board, Climate Change Scoping Plan: A Framework for Change, May 2009, https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/sites/default/files/classic/cc/scopingplan/document/adopted_scoping_plan.pdf, accessed October 2025. 54 California Air Resources Board, First Update to the Climate Change Scoping Plan: Building on the Framework, May 2014, https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/sites/default/files/classic/cc/scopingplan/2013_update/first_update_climate_change_scoping_plan.pdf, accessed October 2025. 55 California Air Resources Board, California’s 2017 Climate Change Scoping Plan, November 2017, https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/sites/default/files/classic/cc/scopingplan/scoping_plan_2017.pdf, accessed October 2025.

The Plan includes policies to require direct GHG reductions at some of the state’s largest stationary sources and mobile sources. These policies include the use of lower GHG fuels, efficiency regulations, and the Cap-and Trade Program, which constrains and reduces emissions at covered sources. Independent studies confirm CARB’s determination that the state’s existing and proposed regulatory framework will put the state on a pathway to reduce its GHG emissions level to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030, and to 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050 if additional appropriate reduction measures are adopted. Even though these studies did not provide an exact regulatory and technological roadmap to achieve the 2030 and 2050 goals, they demonstrated that various combinations of policies could allow the statewide emissions level to remain very low through 2050, suggesting that the combination of new technologies and other regulations not analyzed in the studies would allow the state to meet the 2050 target. In November of 2022, the CARB released the 2022 Scoping Plan.56 The 2022 Scoping Plan lays out a path to achieve targets for carbon neutrality and reduce anthropogenic GHG emissions by 85 percent below 1990 levels no later than 2045, as directed by AB 1279. The actions and outcomes in the plan will achieve significant reductions in fossil fuel combustion by deploying clean technologies and fuels, further reductions in short-lived climate pollutants, support for sustainable development, increased action on natural and working lands to reduce emissions and sequester carbon, and the capture and storage of carbon. As the latest 2022 Scoping Plan builds upon previous versions, Project consistency with applicable strategies of the 2008, 2017, and 2022 Plan are assessed in 3.8-2, Project Consistency with CARB Scoping Plan Policies and Measures. As shown in Table 3.8-2, the Project would be consistent with the applicable strategies for reducing GHG emission included in CARB’s Scoping Plan.

Typically, a project would be consistent with Connect SoCal if the project does not exceed the underlying growth assumptions. The Project would generate approximately 87 new jobs (see Section 3.14, Population and Housing, of this IS/MND).57 This direct increase in employment at the Project Site would not be a substantial increase in the City, representing 0.5 percent of the existing (2019) employment and 0.6 percent of the projected employment growth over the planning period. Therefore, the Project would not exceed the underlying growth assumptions within Connect SoCal. Accordingly, based on the above, the Project would not conflict with implementation of the strategies identified in Connect SoCal that would reduce GHG emissions. Executive Order S-3-05 and SB 32 Executive Order S-3-05 establishes the following goals: GHG emissions should be reduced to 2000 levels by 2010, to 1990 levels by 2020, and to 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. SB 32 establishes a statewide GHG emissions reduction target whereby CARB, in adopting rules and regulations to achieve the maximum technologically feasible and cost-effective GHG emissions reductions, shall ensure that statewide GHG emissions are reduced to at least 40 percent below 1990 levels by December 31, 2030. Although there are no established protocols or thresholds of significance for that future year analysis, CARB forecasts that compliance with the current Scoping Plan puts the state on a trajectory of meeting these long-term GHG goals, although the specific path to compliance is unknown.58 CARB has expressed optimism with regard to both the 2030 and 2050 goals. It states in the First Update to the Climate Change Scoping Plan that “California is on track to meet the near-term 2020 GHG emissions limit and is well positioned to maintain and continue reductions beyond 2020 as required by AB 32.”59 With regard to the 2050 target for reducing GHG emissions to 80 percent below 1990 levels, the First Update to the Climate Change Scoping Plan states that the level of reduction is achievable in California.60 CARB believes that the state is on a trajectory to meet the 2030 and 2050 GHG reduction targets set forth in AB 32, SB 32, and Executive Order S-3-05. This is confirmed in the Second Update, which states the following:61 57 Calculated as follows: 38,560 square-foot commercial development / 447 employees per square foot of retail/service space = 86.3 employees rounded up to 87.

Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 90 The Proposed Plan builds upon the successful framework established by the Initial Scoping Plan and First Update, while also identifying new, technologically feasibility and cost-effective strategies to ensure that California meets its GHG reduction targets in a way that promotes and rewards innovation, continues to foster economic growth, and delivers improvements to the environment and public health, including in disadvantaged communities. The Proposed Plan is developed to be consistent with requirements set forth in AB 32, SB 32, and AB 197. The Project would not interfere with implementation of any of the above-described GHG reduction goals for 2030 or 2050 because the Project would not exceed the SCAQMD’s draft threshold of 3,000 MTCO2e per year for all land uses.62 This analysis provides support for the conclusion that the Project would not impede the state’s trajectory toward the above-described statewide GHG reduction goals for 2030 or 2050. City of Menifee General Plan Vision 2030 State policies to reduce GHG emissions associated with energy use, including the Renewables Portfolio Standard and Title 24 of the California Building Code, would reduce GHG emissions associated with the Project. Therefore, the Project would also be consistent with Goal OSC-10 of the City of Menifee General Plan Vision 2030, which supports GHG reduction efforts consistent with AB 32.63 Consequently, the Project would not conflict with the policies of the City of Menifee General Plan aimed at reducing GHG emissions. Conclusion As the Project's emissions would be less than SCAQMD’s recommended threshold and meet the threshold for compliance with Executive Order S-3-05, the Project's emissions would also comply with the goals of AB 32 and the Scoping Plan. Additionally, as the Project meets the current interim emissions targets/thresholds established by SCAQMD, the Project would also be on track to meet the reduction target of 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 mandated by SB-32. The Project’s consistency with the state’s Scoping Plan would assist in meeting each jurisdiction’s contribution to GHG emission reduction targets in California. With respect to future GHG targets under SB 32 and Executive Order S-3-05, CARB has also made clear its legal interpretation that it has the requisite authority to adopt whatever regulations are necessary, beyond the AB 32 horizon year of 2020, to meet the SB 32 40 percent reduction target by 2030 and the Executive Order S-3-05 80 percent reduction target by 2050. This legal interpretation by an expert agency provides evidence that future regulations will be adopted to continue the trajectory toward meeting these future GHG targets. The majority of the post 2020 reductions in GHG emissions are addressed via 62 South Coast Air Quality Management District, Draft Guidance Document – Interim CEQA Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Significance Threshold, October 2008. 63 City of Menifee General Plan Vision 2030, Open Space and Recreation Element.

Based on the above, the Project would not conflict with any applicable plan, policy or regulation of an agency adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of GHGs and impacts would be less than significant. Mitigation Measures None required. CUMULATIVE IMPACTS Although the Project is expected to emit GHGs, the emission of GHGs by a single project into the atmosphere is not itself necessarily an adverse environmental effect. Rather, it is the increased accumulation of GHG from more than one project and many sources in the atmosphere that may result in global climate change. Therefore, in the case of global climate change, the proximity of the Project to other GHG emission generating activities is not directly relevant to the determination of a cumulative impact because climate change is a global condition. According to CAPCOA, “GHG impacts are exclusively cumulative impacts; there are no non-cumulative GHG emission impacts from a climate change perspective.”64 The resultant consequences of that climate change can cause adverse environmental effects. A project’s GHG emissions typically would be very small in comparison to state or global GHG emissions and, consequently, they would, in isolation, have no significant direct impact on climate change. As discussed above, the Project would emit less than SCAQMD’s recommended threshold and would not conflict with the GHG emission reduction goals of the CARB Scoping Plan, Executive Order S-3-05 and SB 32, or the City of Menifee General Plan. Therefore, the Project’s incremental contribution to GHG emissions and their effects on climate change would not be cumulatively considerable and cumulative impacts would be less than significant. 64 California Air Pollution Control Officers Association, CEQA and Climate change: Evaluating and Addressing Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Projects Subject to the California Environmental Quality Act, 2008, https://opr.ca.gov/docs/june08-ceqa.pdf, accessed October 2025.

Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 93 a) Would the project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials? Less than Significant Impact. Construction Construction of the Project would involve the temporary use of potentially hazardous materials, including gasoline, diesel fuel, oil, lubricants, grease, welding gases (e.g., acetylene, oxygen, and argon), solvents, and paints. However, as previously discussed in detail in response to Checklist Question 3.7(b), the Project would be required to prepare a site-specific SWPPP outlining the Project’s BMPs to prevent the discharge of pollutants in stormwater runoff during construction. Any potentially hazardous materials would be used and stored in designated construction staging areas within the boundaries of the Project Site. Furthermore, the transport, use, and storage of hazardous materials during the construction of the Project would be conducted in accordance with all applicable state and federal laws, such as the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the California Hazardous Material Management Act, and California Code of Regulations Title 22. Because no buildings or structures currently exist on the Project Site, no special requirements for the handling, disposal, or abatement of asbestos or lead-based paint would be required. The use of potentially hazardous materials associated with standard construction activities for their intended purpose would not pose a significant risk to the public or environment. It is anticipated that the amounts of hazardous materials required for construction would be of typical amounts; however, if hazardous materials and/or petroleum products are stored on the Project Site above applicable regulatory thresholds, the applicable documents and plans would be submitted accordingly. These thresholds include those outlined in the Hazardous Material Business Plan rules (California Health and Safety Code, Division 20, Chapter 6.95, Article 1; 19 CCR, Division 2, Chapter 4) and Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan rules (40 CFR, Chapter 1, Subchapter D, Part 112). Appropriate plans would be prepared as required by regulation and submitted to the local Certified Unified Program Agency, which, for the Project Site, is the Riverside County Department of Environmental Health, Hazardous Materials Division, and kept onsite through construction of the Project. BMPs and spill prevention and response procedures required by these rules would be implemented. Hazardous wastes accumulated during Project construction may include unused or off-specification paint and primer, paint thinner, solvents, and vehicle- and equipment-maintenance-related materials, many of which can be recycled. Empty containers for such materials (e.g., drums and totes) may also be returned to vendors, if possible. Hazardous waste that cannot be recycled would be transported by a licensed hazardous waste hauler using a Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest and disposed of at an appropriately permitted facility. The transport and disposal of these substances is subject to applicable federal, state, and local health and safety laws and Item Title: 11.1

Operation The use and disposal of hazardous materials associated with operations of the Project would not differ substantially in type and quantity from other typical and nearby commercial developments (e.g., cleaning products, landscaping chemicals and fertilizers, grease and oil, and various other commercially available substances), none of which would be used, stored, or disposed of at the Site in manners that are currently considered environmental concerns. Use of these materials would be subject to compliance with existing regulations, standards, and guidelines established by the federal, state, and local agencies related to storage, use, and disposal of hazardous materials. As with construction, any hazardous materials and petroleum products stored onsite during operation in quantities that exceed regulatory threshold would be regulated by Hazardous Material Business Plan and Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure rules and regulations. The storage and disposal of hazardous wastes, if generated would be managed in accordance with DTSC hazardous waste regulations found in CCR Title 22, Division 4.5, and Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act regulations under 40 CFR Parts 239 through 282. Based on the above, with adherence to federal, state, and local regulations for the use, storage, and disposal of hazardous materials and wastes, the Project would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials during construction or operation. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant and no mitigation measures would be required. Mitigation Measures None required. b) Would the project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment? Less than Significant Impact. The Project could release hazardous materials into the environment during construction if spills of hazardous materials required for normal construction activities (vehicle fuels, paints, oils, and transmission fluids) occur or if contaminated soils and/or groundwater are encountered during excavation and proper erosion controls are not implemented. The Project could also release hazardous materials into the environment during operation if spills or emissions of hazardous materials required for normal operation (cleaning products, landscaping chemicals and fertilizers, grease and oil, and various other commercially available substances) occurs.

Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 95 Construction As detailed in response to Checklist Question 3.9(a), standard construction BMPs for the use and handling of hazardous materials required for construction would be implemented to avoid or reduce the potential for spills and releases pursuant to local, state, and federal regulations. There are no existing structures that could contain hazardous materials requiring specialized handling or disposal and, as detailed further in response to Checklist Questions 3.9(d), the Project is not expected to encounter contaminated soil or groundwater. In addition, given a depth to groundwater at the Site of over 50 feet below existing grade, construction would not be expected to encounter groundwater and would, accordingly, not have the potential to release hazardous materials into the groundwater table nor into the storm drain system through discharge of potentially contaminated dewatering water. Furthermore, as detailed in response to Checklist Question 3.7(b), construction would be subject to the regulations and requirements outlined in the SWPPP pursuant to the NPDES Construction General Permit, and in the erosion control plan pursuant to MMC Section 7.90.060. Operation As previously discussed, the use and disposal of hazardous materials associated with operation of the Project would not differ dramatically in type and quantity from typical and surrounding commercial developments and the use, storage, and disposal of these materials would be subject to compliance with existing regulations, standards, and guidelines established by the federal, state, and local agencies. Therefore, the Project would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment. The impact would be less than significant. Mitigation Measures None required. c) Would the project emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? Less than Significant Impact. There is one school located within one-quarter mile of the Project Site: the Callie Kirkpatrick Elementary School, adjacent to the Project Site’s southern boundary. In addition, the Project may include an onsite daycare. However, as detailed in response to Checklist Question 3.9(a), hazardous materials used and stored by the Project would be those commonly used and stored by commercial land uses. Furthermore, such hazardous materials would be use, stored, and disposed of in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations and requirements. Therefore, impacts associated with the Project’s use and storage of common industrial and commercial hazardous materials within one-quarter mile of a school would be less than significant.

No Impact. California Government Code Section 65962.5 requires various State agencies to compile lists of hazardous waste disposal facilities, unauthorized releases from underground storage tanks, contaminated drinking water wells, and solid waste facilities where there is known migration of hazardous waste, and submit such information to the Secretary for Environmental Protection on at least an annual basis. A search of the specific lists compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 was conducted. The Project Site was not listed on any such lists.65 Therefore, the Project would have no impact with regard to Government Code Section 65962.5. Mitigation Measures None required. e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working in the project area? No Impact. The nearest airport to the Project Site is the Perris Valley Airport located approximately 6 miles to the northwest; however, the Site is not located within the influence area of the Perris Valley Airport, including the boundaries of safety or noise contours. The Project Site is located within the Airport Influence Area of the March Inland Port Airport; however, the Site is located within the Compatibility Zone E, which corresponds to the zone of lowest intensity and restriction, and does not include restrictions for dwellings as development in Zone E has been determined to pose no hazards to flights.66 Prohibited land uses for Zone E consist of hazards to flights, which the Project does not propose and would not be require.67 In addition, the Project would comply with all applicable real estate disclosures.68 The Site is not located within any safety or noise contours for the March Inland Port Airport and, accordingly, the Project would not expose 65 California Environmental Protection Agency, Cortese List Data Resources, https://calepa.ca.gov/SiteCleanup/CorteseList/, accessed August 2025. 66 March Inland Port Airport Authority, Master Plan Update, February 2025, page 80. 67 Hazards to flight include physical (e.g., tall objects), visual, and electronic forms of interference with the safety of aircraft operations.

Mitigation Measures None required. f) Would the project impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. The City’s 2020 Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) identifies hazardous situations, phases of emergency management, and communication and warning systems available to effectively deal with emergency situations. The Project Site does not contain any critical facilities; however, both Newport Road and Menifee Road adjacent to the Site are designated as evacuation routes in the City’s Safety Element.69 Construction activities, including staging of equipment and supplies, would occur onsite; however, construction would occur offsite in public rights-of-way during connection of new onsite utilities to existing offsite facilities and installation of roadway improvements detailed in Section 3.17, Transportation, of this IS/MND. Mitigation measure TRA-2 provided in Section 3.17 requires the Project to prepare for review and approval by the City Traffic Engineer a Construction Traffic Management Plan (CTMP). The CTMP would outline the protocol for partial or full lane closures, including notification and coordination with emergency response providers and managers (e.g., police/sheriff, fire/rescue, etc.) in order to reduce vehicular delays on the City’s roadway network as a result of Project construction activities and avoid interference with emergency response or evacuation within the vicinity of the Site. Operation of the Project could impede vehicular response or evacuation through associated increases in roadway traffic. However, mitigation measure TRA-1 provided in Section 3.17, Transportation, of this IS/MND, requires payment of fair share contributions toward future intersection and roadway segment improvements to ensure that impacts associated with increased traffic on the City’s roadway network would not be significant. In addition, design, construction, and operation of these required improvements, as well as of improvements in the adjacent roadway for Site access and internal circulation, would be subject to review and approval of the City Traffic Engineer and would be reviewed for conformance with applicable design standards for width, clearance, load, slope/grade, and turning radii of the City Engineering Department and the Menifee Fire Department established for safe and efficient access and circulation of emergency vehicles. As such, operational traffic increases and proposed and required roadway improvements would avoid interfering with emergency response or evacuation. 69 City of Menifee, General Plan, Safety Element, 2013, Exhibit S-7: Critical Facilities and Exhibit S-9: Evacuation Routes.

As such, the Project would not impair an emergency response plan or evacuation plan and impacts would be less than significant with mitigation. Mitigation Measures See mitigation measures TRA-1 and TRA-2 in Section 2,17, Transportation, of this IS/MND. g) Would the project expose people or structures, either directly or indirectly, to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires? Less than Significant Impact. As mapped by the California Department of Forestry and Fire (CalFIRE), the Project Site is located outside of fire hazard severity zones.70 There are no wildlands located on or in the area surrounding the Project Site that would be susceptible to wildland fires. Furthermore, all components associated with the Project would be subject to the 2022 California Building Code and the California Fire Code, or the current edition at the time the Project is permitted and developed, as adopted and enforced by Chapter 8.20 of the MMC. These codes include provisions for building materials, vegetation clearance, and defensible space for fire prevention and life safety. The Project would contain automatic fire sprinkler systems and would ensure the minimum required fire flow and hydrants as part of plan check. Implementation of the fire protection and life safety features standardized in the California Building and Fire Codes, as enforced by the MMC, would limit the potential for the Project to expose the Project to risks associated with wildland fire. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant. Mitigation Measures None required. CUMULATIVE IMPACTS There are a variety of hazardous material and public health and safety issues that are relevant and applicable to cumulative development within the City; however, most hazardous material and safety-related risks are localized, generally affecting a specific site and immediate surrounding area, thus minimizing the potential for an impact to combine with another project to create a cumulative scenario. In addition, many potential impacts related to hazardous materials and public health and safety risks, including the routine use of potentially hazardous materials, the release of hazardous materials into the environment, interference with emergency response and evacuation plans, and risks from wildland fires, would be minimized due to compliance with federal, state, and local regulations, as well as building code 70 California Department of Forestry and Fire, Fire Hazard Severity Zones, https://osfm.fire.ca.gov/what-we-do/community-wildfire-preparedness-and-mitigation/fire-hazard-severity-zones, accessed September 2013.

These legal requirements and regulations would minimize the potential for health and safety risks. Cumulative projects would also be subject to these federal, state, and local regulations and building code standards related to hazardous materials and other public health and safety issues. In a manner similar to the proposed Project, adherence to these regulatory requirements and standards would reduce incremental impacts associated with public exposure to health and safety hazards in each of the affected project areas. Because cumulative projects would be fully regulated, thus reducing potential for public safety risks, cumulative impacts associated with exposure to hazards and hazardous materials would be less than significant. Through compliance with regulatory requirements, construction and operation of the proposed Project itself would not create significant human or environmental health or safety risks that could combine with other project impacts to create a significant and cumulatively considerable impact. For these reasons, the proposed Project would not result in cumulatively considerable impacts related to hazards and hazardous materials.

Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 101 The following analysis of impacts to hydrology and water quality that could potentially occur as a result of construction or operation of the Project is based, in part, on the Project Specific Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) prepared by G&A Consulting Engineers, Inc., in January 2024;71 and the Preliminary Hydrology Report (Hydrology Report) prepared by G&A Consulting Engineers, Inc., in June 2025.72 The WQMP and Hydrology Report are included as Appendix G and Appendix H to this IS/MND and their findings, conclusions, and recommendations are incorporated by reference herein. a) Would the project violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements or otherwise substantially degrade surface or ground water quality? Less than Significant Impact. Stormwater and non-stormwater discharges in California are regulated through federal NPDES permits, which are administered by the SWRCB, through their nine regional water quality control boards. The SWRCB adopted the Construction General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activities (Construction General Permit) on September 2, 2009 (Order No. 2009-0009-DWQ, General NPDES Permit No. CAS000002) and most recently reissued the permit on September 8, 2022 (Order Nos. 2010-0014-DWQ and 2022-0057-DWQ). In addition, the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (SARWQCB) controls the discharge of pollutants from stormwater and non-stormwater into the municipal storm sewer system through the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, the County of Riverside, and the Incorporated Cities of Riverside County Within the Santa Ana Region Area-Wide Urban Runoff Management Program (MS4) Permit (Order No. R8-2010-0033, NPDES Permit No. CAS618033). The City of Menifee is a Co-Permittee under the MS4 Permit and is subject to the waste discharge requirements therein. The MMC enforces the Construction General Permit and the MS4 Permit through Chapter 15.01, Storm Water/Urban Runoff, which codifies the City’s Stormwater and Urban Runoff Management and Discharge Control Ordinance. Chapter 15.01 of the MPMC is intended to assure consistency with the requirements of the Clean Water Act, Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act, applicable implementing regulations, and any existing or future municipal NPDES Permits through outlining conditions for adherence to Permit requirements and incorporation of BMPs for the control of pollutants during construction activities and by post-construction development (operations). Chapter 15.01 also provides the City with sufficient authority to implement and enforce the requirements of applicable pollutant control regulations; to control discharges to and from those portions of the MS4 over which it has jurisdiction; and to hold dischargers to the MS4 accountable for violating applicable pollutant control laws. 71 G&A Consulting Engineers, Inc., Project Specific Water Quality Management Plan, Project Title: Menifee Boardwalk Project, Development No: Tentative Parcel Map 39000 (PLN24-0147), Original Date Prepared: January 1, 2024; final Revision Date: June 8, 2025. 72 G&A Consulting Engineers, Inc., Preliminary Hydrology Report for Commercial/Retail Development, Menifee, California—APN: 364-030-016, June 7, 2025.

Initial Study Checklist
Menifee Boardwalk Project City of Menifee Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration March 2026 102 Construction During Project construction, particularly during the grading phase, stormwater runoff from precipitation events could contain eroded sediments from exposed and stockpiled soils that would be conveyed into municipal storm drain systems. In addition, onsite watering activities to reduce airborne dust could contribute to pollutant loading in runoff. Pollutant discharges relating to the storage, handling, use and disposal of chemicals, adhesives, coatings, lubricants, and fuel could also occur. However, because Project construction would involve ground disturbance in excess of one acre, grading and construction activities are required to obtain coverage under the NPDES Construction Stormwater General Permit. To demonstrate compliance with NPDES requirements, a Notice of Intent must be prepared and submitted to the SWRCB providing notification and intent to comply with the Construction General Permit. The NPDES Construction General Permit also requires: (1) a SWPPP be developed to outline the Project’s stormwater pollution prevention measures and control practices; (2) that non-stormwater discharges from the construction site are eliminated or reduced to the maximum extent practicable; and (3) routine inspections be conducted of all stormwater pollution prevention measures and control practices being used at the construction site, including pre- and post-storm event inspections. The Project would be required to verify compliance with NPDES Permit requirements by monitoring their effluent, maintaining records, and filing periodic reports. In addition, pursuant to MMC Section 7.90.050, the City requires demonstration of conformance with the NPDES Construction General Permit as part of the standard grading plan check and approval. Based on the depth to groundwater in the vicinity of the Project Site (over 50 below the ground surface), construction would not be expected to encounter groundwater. In addition, no active groundwater wells that would provide a direct conduit to groundwater are located at the Project Site. Furthermore, no open or active cases of hazardous wastes and substances sites, leaking underground storage tanks, solid waste disposal sites with waste constituents above hazardous waste levels, active cease and desist and corrective action orders, or hazardous waste facilities under corrective action are reported at the Project Site or within the surrounding one-mile area.73 As such, it is assumed that contaminated soils or other sources of pollution that, if exposed to stormwater during construction, could enter the groundwater table via percolation do not exist on or in the vicinity of the Project Site. As such, construction would not have the potential to encounter or introduce contaminants into the groundwater. Operation Impacts to surface water quality from land uses such as the Project can result from migration of pollutants such as oil and grease from parking areas or trash from improperly enclosed receptacles. Contaminants of concern associated with commercial developments include 73 California Environmental Protection Agency, Cortese List Data Resources, https://calepa.ca.gov/SiteCleanup/CorteseList/, accessed August 2025.

In addition, pursuant to Chapter 15.01 of the MMC, any discharge that would result in or contribute to a violation of an existing or future Municipal NPDES Permit is prohibited and violations are subject to liability. Chapter 15.01 also requires new development to control stormwater runoff through the use of BMPs to prevent deterioration of water quality. The Project proposes a biotreatment system that would retain and treat the Site’s surface water runoff prior to discharge to the public storm drain system. To provide runoff treatment, an MWS unit would be connected immediately downstream of an underground detention basin, which would provide storage for the two-year, five-year, 10-year, and 100-year storm volumes. A project-specific WQMP was prepared to review the Project against the requirements of the MS4 Permit and evaluate a selection of post-construction BMPs to reduce operational discharge of pollutants into the City’s stormwater conveyance systems (see Appendix G). The WQMP evaluated the Project’s proposed biotreatment system and found that LID principles and BMPs have been incorporated into the Project’s site design to fully address all drainage management area and that no alternative treatment measures would be required. The WQMP also concluded that because the Project would ultimately discharge to Lake Elsinore and the Site is identified on their co-permittee hydromodification sensitivity maps as an area not requiring mitigation, the Project’s biotreatment system would not create a hydrologic condition of concern. As shown in Table 3.10-1, Permanent and Operational Source Control Measures, the WQMP identified potential sources of runoff pollutants that could be generated by the Project and selected permanent structural and operational source control BMPs the Project would be required to incorporate and maintain.
