RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution calling an election to annex territory, including Plot Plan No. (PLN) 23- 0126, Burger King, located on the northeast corner of Bradley Road and McCall Boulevard, into Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2017-1 Maintenance Services and to levy a special tax on that land; and
2. Adopt a resolution declaring the results of the special landowner election; and
3. Introduce an ordinance, amending Ordinance No. 2017-231 and levying and apportioning the special tax in CFD 2017-1.
DISCUSSION
On August 19, 2026, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 26-1764, declaring its intent to annex territory to CFD No. 2017-1 and commence the annexation proceedings for the territory to be annexed, also known as Annexation No. 41. The next steps in the annexation proceedings are to hold a public hearing on October 7, 2026, to conduct an election for the landowners and to declare the results of that election. Notice of the public hearing was published in the Press Enterprise and mailed to the property owner in accordance with the Mello-Roos Act.
The area within Annexation No. 41 is included in PLN 23-0126 and is approximately 0.57 gross acres of commercial vacant lot within the City. The property is located on the northeast corner of Bradley Road and McCall Boulevard, as shown in the attached Project Location Map. The proposed maintenance services would include items such as landscaping, lighting, streets, and drainage.
Per the request of Fortune Land Development, LLC (Owner), the City would establish a rate and City of Menifee Staff Report

method of apportionment and authorize the levy of special taxes on the taxable property within Annexation No. 41 to pay for those services.
Annexation No. 41 would have a maximum annual tax of $30,227 per acre and would be included in CFD No. 2017-1 as “Tax Zone 41.” This tax rate includes a Maximum Special Tax A of $16,586 per acre per year for maintenance services of public facilities and a Maximum Special Tax B (Contingent Tax B) of $13,641 per acre per year. The maximum annual tax rate is proposed to escalate each year at the greater of Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 2%. The attached CFD Maintenance Site Plan Exhibit illustrates which services would be maintained by the CFD.
The Owner submitted Consent and Waiver forms on file in the City Clerk’s Office to:
• hold the election and declare election results; and
• consent to the shortening of election time requirements; and • waive analysis and arguments; and
• waive all notice requirements relating to the conduct of the election immediately following the public hearing.
A copy of the boundary map entitled “Annexation Map No. 41, Community Facilities District No. 2017-1 (Maintenance Services)” was recorded on August 27, 2026, in Book 99 of Maps of Assessment and Community Facilities Districts at Page 85, in the office of Riverside County Recorder. Annexing the parcel into CDF No. 2017-1 would cover the costs of maintenance of public improvements associated with the development.
STRATEGIC PLAN OBJECTIVE
Thriving Economy
FISCAL IMPACT
The individual property owners in the CFD would be responsible for annual payments of special taxes. Upon full completion of the tract development, there would be an annual collection of Special Tax revenues of approximately $9,454 not including Contingent Tax B, to be used to pay for maintenance costs.
On June 1 of each year, every taxable unit for which a building permit has been issued within the boundaries of the CFD would be subject to the special tax for the ensuing Fiscal Year. If the anticipated costs of maintaining the facilities in any given Fiscal Year, prior to buildout of the project, exceeds the special tax revenues available from parcels for which building permits have been issued, the special tax may also be applied to property within recorded final subdivision maps, as well as other undeveloped property within the boundaries of the CFD.
All costs associated with annexation into the CFD have been borne by the Owners. By annexing into the CFD, the costs of maintaining improvements located within the development would be financed through special taxes levied on the parcels within CFD No. 2017-1 and not through the City’s General Fund.
