Environmental Information: On March 18, 2026, a Notice of Availability of the Draft EIR was published in The Press Enterprise and made available to Responsible and Trustee Agencies, surrounding property owners within 500 feet of the project site, and on 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 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 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, the City is not required to respond to comments on the FEIR.

The Draft EIR and FEIR will be submitted to the Planning Commission for requested certification and action on the Project.

Be advised that as a result of public hearings and comment, the Planning Commission may amend, in whole or in part, the proposed project.
