APPLICANT: JUAN JOSE AND DIGNORA TORRES
CASE FILE NO.: CUP-1991-13
WHEREAS, the appeal of the City Council from the Planning Commission's approval of
Conditional Use Permit 1991-13 was considered by the City Council of the City of National City at
a public hearing held on December 10, 1991, at which time oral and documentary evidence was
presented; and,
WHEREAS, at said public hearing the City Council considered the entire contents of Case
File No. CUP-1991-13 which is 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 National City, that
testimony and evidence presented to the City Council at the public hearing held on December 10,
1991, support the following findings:
A. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape, because the theater is an
existing facility and the proposed use will not require additional area or increase the size of
the facility.
B. That the site has sufficient access to streets and highways that are adequate in width and
pavement type to carry the volume and type of traffic generated by the proposed use, since
the project site has frontage on National City Boulevard and Roosevelt Avenue, both of
which are of adequate capacity to carry the traffic generated by the use, and the provision
of live entertainment in addition to movies is not expected to result in a significant increase
in traffic.

C. That the proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting properties,
since live entertainment will take place entirely within an enclosed building and the permit
is subject to such conditions that shows will be subject to closure in the event that the
Police Department determines that the activities therein are disruptive to the
neighborhood and/or City. Also, if substantiated complaints to the City are received, the
Planning Commission may conduct a public hearing to revoke the conditional use permit.
D. That the proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience or
welfare, since it will provide an opportunity for the presentation of live entertainment and
other cultural activities.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the application for Conditional Use Permit CUP-
1991-13 is approved subject to the following conditions:
