APPLICANT: DANIEL LINN CASE FILE NO. SP-1993-1 WHEREAS, the City Council of National City at their meeting of August 11, 1992 adopted resolution no. 92-152 directing according to California Government Code Section 65450 (et.seq.) that a specific plan be prepared for certain properties on the north side of 8th Street, east of N Avenue, west of Palm Avenue; and, WHEREAS, application was made for a specific plan for properties on the north side of 8th Street, east of N Avenue, west of Palm Avenue for said certain properties as directed by Council resolution no. 92-152; and, WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of National City considered said application and plans (Exhibit A -revised, dated May 14, 1993 and Exhibit B-revised, dated May 14, 1993, Case File No. SP-1993-1) at a public hearing held on June 21, 1993 at which time the Planning Commission considered oral and documentary evidence, and the staff' report prepared for Case File Nos. SP-1993-1 and IS-1993-11, which are incorporated herein by reference; and, WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did consider the proposed Negative Declaration (No. IS-1993-11) together with comments received during the public review process and all evidence and testimony presented at the public hearing; and, WHEREAS, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 9-93 recommending approval of the Specific Plan for properties on the north side of 8th Street, east of N Avenue, west of Palm Avenue; and, WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of National City considered Planning Commission Resolution No. 9-93 and the proposed specific plan (Exhibit A -revised dated May 14, 1993 and Exhibit B-revised, dated May 14, 1993) at the public hearing held on August 10, 1993 at which time the City Council considered oral and documentary evidence, and the staff report for Case File Nos. SP-1993-1 and IS-1993-11 and, WHEREAS, this action is taken pursuant to all applicable procedures required by State law and City ordinances; and, CONTINUED ON PAGE 2 Resolution No. 9 3-12 2 Page 2 of 8 WHEREAS, the proposed Specific Plan SP-1993-1 is in compliance with Government Code Section 56451 pertaining to the content of specific plans; NOW, THEREFORE, 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 which encourage new development to occur in a planned and orderly manner, to be of the highest quality and most appropriate to the needs of the community, and enhance and complement surrounding areas. 2. That the proposed project is consistent with the Limited Commercial General Plan designation which provides for small scale, limited convenience retail shopping facilities at the neighborhood level. 3. That because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of Title 18 (Zoning) of the Municipal Code deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification, since the area of developable land is limited by the change in elevation from the street to the properties to the rear by the slope which measures approximately twenty feet in height. 4. That the requested exceptions are subject to such conditions which will ensure 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 topography and required setbacks limit the area available for parking and sign placement. 5. That the adjustments requested do not authorize a use or activity which is not otherwise expressly authorized by the zoning regulations governing the parcels of property, since the proposed development and accessory parking facilities are allowed in the CL (Limited Commercial) zone. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council has considered the proposed Negative Declaration No. IS-1993-11 together with comments received during the public review process and finds on the basis of the Initial Study and any comments received that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment, approves the proposed Negative Declaration, and authorizes the filing of a Notice of Determination.
