Summary

Staff presented the city's 2025 annual progress report, noting a RHNA allocation of 6,609 units for 2021'2029, approximately 1,031 units approved in 2025, and a capital improvement program exceeding $1 billion; the commission voted to receive and file the report for City Council.

Brandon, a planning staff member filling in for Kimberly Luna, presented Menifee's general plan and housing element annual progress report for 2025 and recommended the commission receive and file the report so staff may forward it to the City Council on March 5.

Brandon told commissioners that state law requires jurisdictions to submit an annual progress report to the Office of Planning and Research and the Department of Housing and Community Development. He said Menifee's Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for the 6th planning cycle (2021'2029) is 6,609 units, broken down by income categories, and that staff approved roughly 1,031 units to be constructed in 2025. "One of the main highlights includes the adoption of the five‑year capital improvement program, which includes more than $1 billion in funding for 134 capital improvement projects," Brandon said.

Staff also reported housing programs and accomplishments: an annual senior home‑repair program assisted eight households this year, and a Habitat for Humanity program assisted 29 households, according to the report. Permitting activity in 2025 included issuance of permits and finalizations across single‑family, ADU and some multifamily projects; the report documents RHNA progress and program status in appendices.

With no questions from commissioners, the planning commission received and filed the report; staff will present the APR to the City Council on March 5.
