Pre-Application Review

Menifee project applicants use this application to request informal staff comments and discuss a prospective project before filing a formal application.

What this form is

This application lets prospective project applicants request informal comments and discuss their project with staff from planning, building and safety, engineering, fire prevention, and police. It asks for applicant and property details, a project description, and the proposed application type. Submit it with the listed plans, photographs, and applicable fees; a pre-application review is not approval of the proposal.

How to submit it

Submit applications electronically to [email protected] with the appropriate payment; applications without payment will not be processed. For questions, contact the Community Development Department at (951) 723-3741.
