How did the
boundaries of the proposed city get established?
The Local Agency
Formation Commission (LAFCO) established the
original boundaries of the Menifee Valley in
1994 after many meetings and several public
hearings. The boundaries were established to
protect our community from piece-meal annexation
from neighboring cities and with the intent that
the area would one-day become a city. LAFCO's
current policies determine reorganizations to
provide a more efficient delivery system of
services. Study Areas 2 & 3 were added because
residents in those areas identify more closely
with the Menifee area and to maximize the
opportunity for financial feasibility.
The current boundaries are contiguous with the
surrounding cities of Canyon Lake, Lake
Elsinore, Perris, Murrieta and the future City
of Wildomar. The eastern boundary is roughly
Briggs Road and the unincorporated area of
Winchester.
