ORDINANCE NO. 1436
AN URGENCY ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING THE DENSITY CONTAINED
WITHIN WIITTHINETHEACITYL A® NATIONALLCITYPROPERTY
WHEREAS, this City Council has,
since July 11, 1973, been deliberating
the substantial revision of the City's
General Pion to bring it into compli-
ance with the State Planning Law and
to render it relevant to present land
use needs and conditions throughout
this community; and,
WHEREAS, the City Planning Com-
mission and this Council have con-
ducted detailed studies, with the aid
of professional planning consultants,
and hove solicited citizen input through
the course of many public meetings, to
best determine the present and future
land use management needs of this
community; and,
WHEREAS, those studies and meet-
ings clearly revealed problems of
housing and population density, park
deficiencies, neighborhood and
thoroughfare traffic circulation, dis-
ruption of neighborhood identities,
school enrollment fluctuations and
quality of housing, all significantly re-
lated to multiple family residential
projects; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council did, on
this date, adopt a new General Plan
for the City in which the density per-
mitted for future multiple family resi-
dential- projects will be considerably
less than what was shown on the prior
General Plan. These reduced densities
have been tailored to realistically limit
the construction of new apartment
houses in the interest of public health,
safety and general welfare; and,
WHEREAS, it is the intention of this
Council to soon undertake appropriate
proceedings to translate the density
limits for future projects, as shown on
the General Plan, into regulatory zoning
provisions by either reclassifying those
properties to more restrictive zones or
attaching "Density Overlay Zoning"
thereto; and,
WHEREAS, applications for Building
Permits now on file with the City and
such permits that are anticipated in
the near future demonstrate potential
impact that would be substantially
contrary to the new General Plan
adverse to the public interest;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDA
that pursuant to Section 65858 ofe-
California Government Code, this
Interim Zoning Regulation is adopted
to hereafter require that all multiple
family dwellings for which Building
Permits are issued shall be designed
not allow a quantity of dwelling un
in excess of the density (number
dwelling units per acre) shown on the
General Plan adopted by the City
Council on July 23, 1974.
BE IT FURTHER ORDAINED, that this
Ordinance is adopted as an urgency
measure to be effective immediately
upon adoption hereof in that:
a. Twelve projects are now pending
before the City of National City which,
if allowed, will violate the density
regulations of the new General Plan,
thereby, jeopardizing the health, safety,
and welfare of the City of National
City by allowing excessive traffic,
noise, pedestrian traffic, and fire
control problems which should be
avoided.
b. Any permit ready for issuance by
12:00 noon July 24, 1974 will be issued.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 23rd day
of July, 1974.
