Environmental Information:
On March 18, 2026, a Notice of Availability of the Draft EIR was sent to Responsible and Trustee Agencies, and mailed to surrounding property owners and non-owner residents within 300 feet of the Project site, stating that copies of the Draft EIR were available for public review on the City’s website, at the City of Menifee City Hall, the Sun City Library, and the Menifee Library. The public review period was for the state-mandated 45 days, from March 18, 2026 through May 1, 2026. Analysis presented in the Draft EIR indicated that the proposed Project would have certain significant and unavoidable greenhouse gas and transportation impacts. The Draft EIR also presented mitigation measures, which will reduce project-specific and cumulative impacts. All other environmental effects evaluated in the Draft EIR are considered less than significant or can be successfully mitigated below the applicable significance thresholds.
The Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) responds to the comments and includes text revisions to the Draft EIR in response to input received on the Draft EIR. Unlike the Draft EIR, comments on the FEIR are not required to be responded to by the City. If written comments are received, they will be provided to the City Council as part of the staff report for the Project. The Draft EIR and FEIR will be submitted to the City Council for requested certification and action on the Project. The Project site is not included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 (California Department of Toxic Substances Control list of various hazardous sites).
The FEIR is available on the City of Menifee Community Development Department website:
https://cityofmenifee.us/325/Environmental-Notices-Documents. A hard copy of the FEIR can be viewed at Menifee City Hall – 29844 Haun Road, Menifee, CA 92586.
