Trumble and Watson Warehouse - Plot Plan No. PLN22-0190

Plot Plan No. PLN22-0190 involves the development of the Trumble and Watson Warehouse on a 17.19-acre site located near the southeast corner of Watson Road and Trumble Road in Menifee, California. The project consists of a 328,227 square foot speculative warehouse building, which includes 15,000 square feet of office space and 33 dock-high doors. Site improvements include 422 total parking spaces, comprising 126 trailer spaces and 296 automobile spaces, with access provided by two driveways off Trumble Road. Additional scope includes 96,975 square feet of landscaping, on-site walls, fencing, infrastructure, and the construction of frontage and associated roadway improvements. The project was approved by the City of Menifee on July 15, 2026, following a Mitigated Negative Declaration under the California Environmental Quality Act. Comprehensive technical assessments have been completed, including a geotechnical report for seismic and foundation design, a preliminary hydrology study, and a water quality management plan. Environmental compliance is managed through a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program focusing on biological resources, dust control, and nesting bird surveys. Traffic analysis indicates the project is within a low VMT area, though the California Public Utilities Commission has recommended safety evaluations for the Watson Road at-grade highway-rail crossing. Construction must adhere to strict geotechnical inspection standards, requiring written acceptance from consultants for all fill materials.
