General Plan Amendment - Open Space

General Plan Amendment LR25-0148 is a citywide initiative by the City of Menifee, California, to update the Open Space and Conservation Element of its General Plan. This amendment is conducted in response to the requirements of SB 1425 and focuses on strengthening climate resilience, environmental equity, and long-term ecological health. The scope of work involves adding targeted policies to existing sections of the Element and introducing a new Climate Resiliency section specifically designed to address emerging climate-related challenges. The project is managed by Senior Planner Fernando Herrera and is classified under NAICS code 925120. Because the amendment involves policy updates and does not result in physical improvements or direct changes to the environment, it has been determined exempt from CEQA requirements under sections 15060(c)(2) and 15601(b)(3). The notice was posted on June 9, 2026, as a special notice for the City of Menifee.
