PD-8-89 WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of National City, California, considered a Planned Development Permit Application for construction of an automotive -oriented comiercial center with a car wash and alteration of an existing watercourse at the southeast corner of Plaza Boulevard and Euclid Avenue at the public hearings held on May 8 and May 22, 1990, at which time oral and documentary evidence was presented; and, WHEREAS, at said public hearings the City Council considered the entire contents of Case File Nos. PD-8-89 and IS-89-48 which are maintained by the City, and incorporated herein by reference; and, WHEREAS, this action is taken pursuant to all applicable procedures required by State and City law; and, WHEREAS, the action recited herein is found to be essential for the preservation of public health, safety and general welfare. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of National City, California, that the testimony and evidence presented to City Council at the public hearings held on May 8 and May 22, 1990, support the following findings: A. That the site for the proposed nse is adequate in size and shape, because there is adequate area (69,369 sq.ft.) for development of 6,600 sq.ft. of office space, a 4,000 sq.ft. retail auto parts store and a full -service car wash with adequate on -site parking and landscaping. Alteration (covering) of the drainage channel will increase usable site area. B. That the site has sufficient access to streets and highways that are adequate in width and pavement type to carry the quantity and quality of traffic generated by the proposed use, because the site has frontage on Plaza Boulevard and Euclid Avenue, both designated arterial roadways with adequate capacities to handle the amount of traffic expected to be generated fran the use. Drainage improvements will improve circulation on- site by allowing continuous vehicular access across the property. C. That the proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting properties, because there are commercial shopping centers adjacent to the east and north (across Plaza Boulevard). Commercially zoned, vacant property lies to the west across Euclid Avenue. The adjacent residences to the south are separated from the site by topography. Drainage improvements will provide for a continuous parking lot and will not adversely impact downstream flow. D. That the proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience or welfare, because there are no other full -service car washes in National City and there is a need in the City for additional office space. Covering the drainage channel will eliminate safety hazards associated with an open drainage channel. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council has considered Negative Declaration No. IS-89-48, approved by the Planning Commission March 19, 1990, and certifies that the Negative Declaration has been approved pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, and that the Initial Study and Negative Declaration adequately address the effects of the project as conditionally approved; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the application for Planned Development Permit is approved subject to the following conditions: 1.
