Commission approves chair appointments and Quimby fee assessments for two Menifee housing projects
Summary
The commission unanimously approved minutes and consent items, reappointed David Faust as chair and Laz Peterson as vice chair, and approved Quimby parkland dedication fee assessments for the Haven and Oakstone developments (fees roughly $360,000 and $223,500 respectively).
At its meeting the Parks, Recreation and Trails Commission voted unanimously on a set of routine and land‑use items, including minutes, consent calendar, leadership appointments and two Quimby in‑lieu fee calculations for new housing developments.
Appointments and routine actions: Commissioners approved the Dec. 4 meeting minutes and the consent calendar by voice vote. A motion to reappoint David Faust as chair and Laz Peterson as vice chair for the coming year passed unanimously.
Quimby parkland dedication fees: • Haven development (TM38766): Staff reported the subdivision includes 67 single‑family units plus 67 accessory dwelling units. Using the city formula and applying a 50% credit for an HOA‑maintained community center with pool, staff calculated a parkland dedication requirement of about 1.2 acres and an in‑lieu fee of approximately $360,000 based on an appraised value of $300,000 per acre. The Commission moved to approve the calculation and certify the fees; the motion passed unanimously.
• Oakstone (formerly Menifee Vista, Tract 38128): Staff reported 96 single‑family units on ~30 acres with an HOA‑maintained 1.25‑acre park eligible for a 50% credit, leaving roughly 0.8 acres to be paid in lieu at the same $300,000/acre appraisal for a fee of $223,500. Commissioners moved to approve the calculation and unanimously adopted the Quimby assessment.
Votes and records: The transcript records voice votes for each motion; no roll‑call tallies were read aloud. No commissioner registered opposition on the record.
Notes: Staff stated the Quimby calculations rely on municipal code Chapter 7.75 (parkland dedication and fees) as the legal framework. The Commission’s approvals were procedural findings that the proposed credits and in‑lieu fees meet the code calculations, not land‑use entitlements for the subdivisions themselves.
