Tentative Tract Map No. PLN 24-0136 - Cypress Sands Project

The City of Menifee is advancing the Cypress Sands Project, a residential development proposing to subdivide 8.15 adjusted gross acres into a single lot for a row townhome community of 132 units, accompanied by a recreational open area and 295 parking spaces. Site preparation and grading are scheduled from February to July 2026, with building construction occurring from June 2026 through February 2027. The project is subject to strict environmental and cultural resource protections under the Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act, and Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan. All ground-disturbing activities require compliance with the 2019 California Building Code, ASTM D1557 soil compaction standards of 85–90% maximum dry density, and proof rolling with 15-ton equipment. Construction equipment must meet USEPA Tier 4 Final emissions standards, and cultural resource protections include mandatory tribal monitoring by the Pechanga Band of Indians and Soboba Band Luiseno Indians, cultural sensitivity training for all workers, immediate work stoppage if human remains or artifacts are discovered, and confidential reburial protocols exempt from public records disclosure. The developer is responsible for the curation of all recovered artifacts in compliance with 36 CFR 79 and must maintain a 50-foot safety zone around test pits adhering to OSHA standards. The City of Menifee’s Community Development Department will oversee inspection and acceptance at the project site in Menifee, CA, with final approval contingent upon code compliance and mitigation measures. No formal contract value, pricing structure, or federal acquisition regulations are specified, and submissions are directed to the City of Menifee or the State Clearinghouse, though no official deadline or proposal format is outlined.
