Menifee Caliber Collision Project

Menifee Caliber Collision Project

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Project includes development of the one-story, approximately 18,717-square-foot Caliber Collision Paint and Auto Body Repair shop building with six bays on 2.39 gross acres. The Project would include 42,689 square feet of paved surface, and approximately 36,155 square feet of landscaping. Drainage and stormwater runoff would be retained from the current condition and would flow to the northwest direction off the Project site into the proposed biofiltration basin. See Figure 2: Site Plan. Construction Construction activities include removal of existing on-site fencing and vegetation, excavation, grading, paving, construction of the one-story, 18, 717-square-foot Caliber Collision Paint and Auto Body Repair shop building with six bays. Construction would also include parking areas and the installation of lighting, landscaping, and utility connections. During grading, on-site soils would be excavated and recompacted in accordance with the 2022 California Building Code to accommodate the proposed building and parking areas. Construction parking and staging would be on site. Construction hours would conform to City standards and be limited to 6:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday in accordance with City Municipal Code Section 8.01.010. During Project construction, it is possible there would be temporary lane closures and/or detours necessary along Zeiders Road. Project construction is anticipated to commence in early 2025 and be completed in the summer of 2025, resulting in a total construction duration of approximately 6 months. Facility and Site Design The Project would construct a one-story, 18,717-square-foot building to house the Caliber Collision Paint and Auto body Repair shop with six bays, on 2.39 acres of land. The total proposed building area would be approximately 18,717 square feet, total proposed paved area would be approximately 42,689 square feet, and the proposed landscape area would be 36,155 square feet. The Project would include landscaped areas in accordance with Chapter 9.195 (Landscape Standards) and Section 9.195.050 of the City's Municipal Code. Approximately 35 percent (36,155 square feet) of the Project site would be landscaped. Design elements of the proposed Project include landscaped setbacks and trees along the site frontage with shrubs throughout the parking lot area. Off-site landscape improvements of 1,378 square feet would also be included. Trees provided within the landscape plans include 17 large evergreen trees, 36 trees in the parking lot, 11 medium accent trees, 17 large deciduous trees, and 4 street trees. Other vegetation includes medium shrubs, succulents, vines, grass, and groundcover for the retention basin. The Project perimeter would include a 5-foot-high, tubular steel fence wall along the southern, western, and northern boundaries of the site, while the entry would include curbing, a paved driveway entrance, landscaping, and parking in front of the building. The Project includes a 6-foot street dedication along the site's frontage with Zeiders Road. This portion of right-of-way would include light poles installed throughout the on-site drive aisles and along the sidewalk along the site's frontage. All lighting on the Project site will comply with Chapter 6.01 (Dark Sky; Light Pollution) and Chapter 9.205 (Lighting Standards) of the City1s Municipal Code, which require light shielding, functional and aesthetic design, and compatibility with surrounding uses. Circulation and Access The only public right-of-way abutting the Project site is along Zeiders Road along the eastern site frontage. However, the site is surrounded by fencing on the north, south, and west borders of the site. Vehicle or pedestrian access is not provided in the existing condition, as there are no driveways or sidewalks along the Project site's frontage with Zeiders Road but along the east street frontage of Zeiders Road. Access to the Project site would be off Zeiders Road, near its intersection with Scott Road and 1-215. The proposed Project would connect to Zeiders Road via a 24-foot entrance/exit driveway that would be shared with the parcel directly north of the Project site. The entrance would connect to the proposed building via a vehicle gate that would be equipped wit h Opticom (a traffic control system to allow the right-of-way for emergency vehicles). Additionally, the Project would include features for fire protection services such as a fire riser room, a backflow preventer, and a hydrant service line. The proposed Project would provide 100 parking spaces, including Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant handicap spaces and bike enclosures to accommodate bicycle parking. An ADA handicap ramp would also be included in the proposed Project (eastside of site) to ensure access for all pedestrians. Fire Service The Riverside County Fire Department (RCFD) provides fire protection, fire prevention, and emergency services to the Project site through a contract with the City. Menifee is served by four RCFD fire stations within its jurisdiction. Menifee Fire Station 68, located at 26020 Wickerd Road, 1.8 miles northwest of the site, is the nearest fire station. RCFD Station 68 in Menifee provides fire protection and emergency response services to the Menifee community. In addition to responding to fires, Station 68 also responds to medical emergencies, motor vehicle accidents, rescue calls, and incidents involving hazardous materials. The average travel time between Fire Stat ion 68 and the Project site is 4 minutes. The Project site is in a suburban, light-industrial setting already served by the RCFD. Drainage The majority of the Project site consists of pervious surface area. Currently, stormwater generally sheet flows in a northwesterly direction, leaving the site through a natural drainage channel on the adjacent property to the west. This drainage continues north and connects to a series of man-made drainage channels and culverts, that eventually outlet to Canyon Lake, the San Jacinto River, and Lake Elsinore. The proposed Project is expected to maintain the existing drainage pattern. Upon development of the site, storm water runoff from the eastern and northern portions of the site would be directed towards a concrete ditch along the northern boundary of the property, which would drain into the proposed biofiltration basin at the west of the property. Runoff from the roof of the proposed building would be conveyed through roof drains that connect underground to a proposed storm drain pipe at the southern boundary of the Project site, which would outlet at the proposed biofiltration basin at the west of the property. This storm drain also captures runoff from the decomposed granite pathway along the southern boundary of the proposed building. Inlet capacity will be determined during final engineering and design. Storm water runoff from the western parking lot would sheet flow to a gutter and would be directed to the proposed biofiltration basin at the west of the property through curb cuts. Infrastructure Utility infrastructure including water, sewer, natural gas, electricity, and telephone/cable are already established adjacent to the Project site along Zeiders Road. The Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) would provide potable water and sewer service to the Project site, Southern California Gas Company would provide natural gas to the Project site, Southern California Edison would provide electricity to the Project site, and Frontier Communications would serve the Project site for telephone and cable needs. On-site infrastructure in the form of water and sewer lines and laterals would be installed as part of the proposed Project to establish connections to existing EMWD utility lines. Natural gas lines and laterals and electrical infrastructure would also be developed as part of the Project and connect to existing off-site infrastructure along Zeiders Road. Utility infrastructure does not exist on the Project site, so relocat ion of such infrastructure would not be required.
