A public hearing and ordinance introduction are scheduled to annex a Burger King development into Community Facilities District 2017-1. This ensures properties cover their ongoing costs for public street, lighting, and park maintenance.
Menifee Village Specific Plan Amendment No. 7
Minor Ranch LLC wants to change its 2024 deal with the city: dropping a required pedestrian bridge (in exchange for a $3.9 million credit reduction), raising the sports/aquatic park budget from $15.7 million to $20.6 million, and exempting homes in one tract from the Public Safety CFD — which would cost the city roughly $367,500 a year in lost CFD revenue.
Del Oro Townhomes financing district (CFD)
A 104-townhome project at Holland and Palomar roads would be financed partly through a Mello-Roos special tax district led by the water district.
