AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
INCORPORATING BY REFERENCE SECTIONS
61.212 THROUGH 61.256 OF THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY
CODE OF REGULATORY ORDINANCES, PERTAINING
TO WHOLESALE FOOD WAREHOUSES
The City Council of the City of National City ordains as follows:
Section 1. Purpose and Intent. Wholesale food warehouses are not
adequately regulated by the State of California. Recent inspections of some of
these warehouses by the County of San Diego ("County") have revealed rodent
infestations, mishandling of recalled food, and other conditions that could lead to
food -borne illness. The County has responded to these problems by enacting
Ordinance No. 9525 (New Series), which establishes a mandatory permit program,
a permit fee, and regulatory requirements applicable to wholesale food warehouses.
The food stored in wholesale food warehouses is frequently distributed
across city boundaries. An effective regional food warehouse permitting and
regulatory program requires enactment of a regulatory ordinance in this City that
parallels the County ordinance, and cooperation between the City and the County
to implement that ordinance.
Section 2. County Enforcement of City Ordinance. The City has an
agreement in place with the County that provides for certain services related to
public health and sanitation to be provided by the County within the City. The City
desires that the County also implement the permitting and regulatory program
established by this ordinance. The City Manager is authorized to enter into any
supplemental or modified agreement with the County that may be needed to affect
this purpose.
Section 3. Adoption of County Ordinance. Section 9.04.170 is added to
the National City Municipal Code to read as follows:
"Section 9.04.170. Wholesale Food Warehouses. The
provisions of the County Code of Regulatory Ordinances concerning
permitting and regulation of wholesale food warehouses, codified at
sections 61.212 through 61.256 of the County Code, are incorporated
into this Code by reference."
