NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION I. The City Council of the City of National City does hereby adopt this temporary intermin zoning ordinance pursuant to the provisions of Section 65858 of the Government Code of the State of California. SECTION II. The following regulations shall apply in all Commercial, Manufacturing and Industrial Zones. Where conflicting regulations exist in the Zoning Ordinance, the regulations established by this Ordinance shall prevail. A. YARDS. 1. A four foot setback shall be maintained on all properties abutting upon a dedicated street in the Manufactur- ing and Industrial Zones; provided, however, that a ten foot setback shall be maintained on all properties abutting upon Highland Avenue. a. The entire four foot setback shall be land- scaped with any harmonious combination of lawn, flowers, trees, shrubs, ground cover and such objects as pools and/or fountains. b. On a corner lot, if the exterior side of the building or structure is constructed of stucco, plaster, brick, rock or frame, the exterior four foot side yard setback may be waived, subject to the property owner, developer and/or leasee installing curbs, gutters and sidewalks and permanently landscaping the parkway abutting subject property with any harmonious combination of lawn, flowers, trees, shrubs and/or ground cover. c. In the M-2, Light Manufacturing Zones and M-4, Heavy Industrial Zones whenever in any block on any street forty percent (40%) of the frontage in such block and facing such street has been improved it shall be required that the front face of all buildings or structures thereafter placed, erected or rebuilt, on any and all other parcels within said block shall be located no nearer to the front property line than the average distance back from the front property line than the front of the existing buildings or structures in said block used for commercial, manufacturing or industrial uses, have been built. Setbacks established by non -conforming residential uses shall not be used in figuring the average established setback. In the event the entire block is cleared of all structures, set- backs as established by this Section shall prevail, or d. In areas in the M-2, Light Manufacturing Zones, and M-4, Heavy Industrial Zones, not affected before the effective zoning controls were adopted, the Planning Commission may waive, without a public hearing, any required front yard setback upon the showing of a hardship. One: form of hardship may be the fact that existing structures on the property were permitted to be constructed with a zero setback. e. In reducing any portion of the required front yard four foot setback, the property owner, developer and/or leasee shall install curbs, gutters, and sidewalks and permantly landscape the parkway abutting subject property with any harm- onious combination of lawn, flowers, trees, shrubs and/or ground cover.
