RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
ADOPTING THE REVISED NATIONAL CITY GENERAL PLAN AND
COMBINED GENERAL PLAN/ZONING MAP, AND RELATED
AMENDMENTS TO THE LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM LAND USE PLAN
APPLICANT: CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
CASE FILE NOS. GP-1996-1, ZC-1996-1, LCP-1996-1
WHEREAS, the City Council considered the recommendation and findings of the Planning
Commission for approval of the Revised General Plan and Combined General Plan/Zoning Map, as
well as related amendments to the Local Coastal Program, along with evidence and testimony
presented at the duly advertised public hearing held by the City Council on July 23, 1996, and
continued on August 27, 1996; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission and City Council have caused and duly held studies
and proceedings for the timely amendment to the General Plan of the City of National City, pursuant
to Title 7, Chapter 3, Article 6 of the Government Code of the State of California, and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission at a duly advertised public hearing held on July 1,
1996 considered the proposed amendment to the General Plan of the City of National City, along with
all evidence and testimony presented at said hearing, and along with the proposed Negative
Declaration together with any comments received; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes the need and desirability to conduct reviews of, and
consider amendments to, the General Plan to accommodate the changing needs of the community;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council has considered the proposed
Negative Declaration together with any comments received during the public review process and all
evidence and testimony presented at the hearing and finds that 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.
BE IT FURl't1ER RESOLVED that the City Council finds that the Revised General Plan is in
the public interest, since it has been drafted with the General Plan Advisory Committee, which
consists of citizens appointed by the City Council, and the Plan's policies, Combined General
Plan/Zoning Map designations and programs respond to citizen comments which were solicited at
community meetings conducted by staff at the direction of the City Council, and the Plan also reflects
updated data on socioeconomic as well as physical characteristics of the City, which were documented
in the issues reports prepared for the General Plan Revision Program, along with information on
public perceptions.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council finds that the proposed zoning on the
Combined General Plan/Zoning Map is consistent with and necessary to implement the General Plan,
since proposed zones are identical to proposed General Plan designations, and proposed OS, PD and
PUD overlays will provide for discretionary review to ensure higher quality development and
compatibility with surrounding uses, consistent with policy contained in both the current and Revised
General Plan.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council finds that the changes incorporated in the
Revised General Plan carry out and maintain consistency with the Housing Element adopted in 1992
and certified by the State, since Housing Element Conservation Program no. 8 calls for evaluation of
residential neighborhoods for preservation or need for change in conjunction with the General Plan
update; also, the land use designations of the General Plan provide for the continuation of a broad
range of housing types in the City as well as for potential development which would satisfy Housing
Element objectives for new construction of housing.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council finds that the amendments to the Local
Coastal Program Land Use Plan (map) are in the public interest and consistent with Coastal Act
policies; since the proposed CT designation for the historic Santa Fe Depot and adjacent area will
result in improved potential for public access already called for by the Land Use Plan at the entryway
to the City's Harbor District, and it will affect small parcels that are not necessary for marine -related
industry. In addition, the OS designation was applied by the Land Use Plan to reflect freeway right
of -way, and changes to the OS designation address updated information on the boundaries of this
right-of-way and affect small parcels that contain no unique open space values.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council finds that the amendments to the Local
Coastal Program implementation (i.e., zoning changes) are consistent with and carry out the Land Use
Plan, as amended, since the CT -CZ zone will apply to the Santa Fe Depot and adjacent properties,
and this zone already is established in the nearby area to carry out the CT designation of the Land Use
Plan. Also, the proposed ML zoning at the southwest corner of 33rd Street and National City
Boulevard is consistent with and adequate to carry out the Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan,
since both ML and CA zoning is applied along National City Boulevard to carry out the C designation
of the Land Use Plan. In addition, changes to the CA zone, which discourage used car sales unless
part of a new car dealership, are consistent with and carry out the intent of the C designation of the
Land Use Plan and reflect the use of the area by the Mile -of -Cars. Other applicable development
regulations currently applied by the Local Coastal Program implementation for the affected zoning
changes in the Coastal Zone will remain in effect.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council hereby adopts the Revised General Plan
text as further described by case file exhibit (Draft Revised General Plan approved by the General
