Resolution No. 91-96
NOW, FORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
National City, California, that the testimony and evidence presented at the
public hearing support the following findings:
1. That the proposed specific plan is consistent with General Plan
policies to encourage alternatives to shall shopping center
development by allowing mixed use development, to ensure that
development is compatible with the immediate neighborhood and
community, and to encourage a broad range of housing types.
Neighborhood compatibility results from architectural design of
residential units facing 12th Street, which is developed with
single-family residences. The mix of residential units above
commercial space will provide convenience and pedestrian access
to services generally lacking to separate apartment complexes.
2. That the proposed project is consistent with the General
Commercial General Plan designation since it provides for
commercial development along major roadways and compatible
residential development.
3• That
because of special circumstances applicable to the property,
including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the
strict application of Title 18 of the Municipal Code (Zoning)
deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in
the vicinity and under identical zoning classification, since a
20 ft. setback from the street, typically required for multi-
family residential development, would reduce courtyard areas and
restrict areas proposed for residential parking and apartments on
the irregular -shaped, sloping site; the project design provides
an appropriate transition between commercial areas and
residential neighborhonds; and commercial development could be
proposed with only a 10 ft. setback.
4• That the requested exception for a 10 ft. setback fran 12th
Street is subject to such conditions which will assure that the
adjustment authorized will not constitute a grant of special
privileges inconsistent with the limitation upon other properties
in the vicinity and zone in which such property is situated,
since the site is zoned CG where a 10 ft. setback would normally
be permitted, and a specific plan for mixed use projects
establishes appropriate design criteria.
5. That the requested exception for a 10 ft. setback from 12th
Street does not authorize a use or activity which is not
otherwise expressly authorized by the zoning regulations
governing the parcels of
1op�tY, since the proposed mixedduse
is permitted in the CG zone.
RF IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council has considered the
proposed Negative Declaration No. (IS-19-90) together with comments
receivad during the public review process and finds on the basis of the
