encourage high quality development that is community-sensitive for Menifee
Valley. At the core of this plan is building a future city with creative
development that will add distinction to the community's viability as a
commercial, educational and residential market.
The phenomenal growth rate of 48% between 1990 and 2003 in Menifee Valley
indicate an exciting and historic period. The future looks bright with
commercial developments being proposed on the 215 corridors south of Newport to
Scott Road. Entertainment complexes, exciting retail shopping establishments
with delightful dining experiences for the young and old are being sought.

retail development by the end of 2015.
Although this area currently serves as a bedroom community for the workforce of
North County San Diego, Temecula, Riverside, Corona and as Orange County,
economic developments groups are in the process of recruiting future quality
employers to relocate in Menifee Valley. It is the desire of many residents to
