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.
