OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY

VARIANCE TO ALLOW A REDUCED FRONT YARD

APPLICANT: RAUL THOMPSON.
CASE FILE NOS. LS-1999-2, Z-1999-3.
WHEREAS, the Tentative Parcel Map for the division of one lot into two and a
Variance to allow a reduced front yard setback in the 1200 block of K Avenue was considered by
the City Council of the City of National City at a public hearing held on October 24, 2000, at
which time oral and documentary evidence was presented; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing the City Council considered the staff report
contained in Case File Nos. LS-1999-2 and Z-1999-3 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 the City of
National City, California, that the testimony and evidence presented to the City Council at the
public hearing held on October 24, 2000 fail to support the following findings, required by the
Municipal Code for granting any tentative parcel map and variance: that the proposed map is
consistent with the General Plan; that the site is physically suitable for the proposed type of
development; that the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development; and
that the required variance is subject to conditions which will assure that the adjustment
authorized shall not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon
other properties in the vicinity and zone in which such property is situated.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of National City,
California, that the testimony and evidence presented to City Council at the public hearing held
on October 24, 2000 support the following findings:
1. The proposed tentative parcel map is not consistent with the General Plan,
since it involves development with reduced setbacks which is inconsistent
with the adjacent neighborhood, contrary to Urban Development Policy that
new development enhance and complement surrounding areas.

2. The site is not physically suitable for the proposed type and density of
development, since the hillside lot will not accommodate both the required
street improvements and proposed siting of homes, and there will be
inadequate level, usable, private yard areas.
3. The requested variance would constitute a grant of special privileges
inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone
in which such property is situated, since homes constructed on nearby hillside
lots do not have reduced front yard setbacks.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council hereby denies Tentative
Parcel Map Application No. LS-1999-2 and Zone Variance Application No. Z-1999-3 without
prejudice.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Resolution shall become effective and
final on the day following the City Council meeting where the resolution is adopted. The time
within which judicial review of this decision may be sought is governed by the provisions of
Code of Civil Procedure Section 1094.6.
PASSED and ADOPTED this 14th day of November, 2000.
