A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY DENYING A
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT APPLICATION
FOR A 93-UNTT EXTENDED STAY HOTEL AT THE
NORTHWEST CORNER OF PLAZA BOULEVARD
AND INTERSTATE 805.
(Applicant: Extended Stay America)
(Case File No. PD-2000-9)
WHEREAS, the appeal to the City Council of the Planning Commission's denial of
a Planned Development Permit application (PD-2000-9) was considered by the City Council of
the City of National City at a public hearing held on February 27, 2001, 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. PD-2000-9 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 February 27, 2001 fail to support findings, required by the Municipal Code
for granting any Planned Development Permit, that the proposed use will not have an adverse
effect on adjacent or abutting properties, and that the proposed use is deemed essential and
desirable to the public convenience or welfare.
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
February 27, 2001 support the following findings:
1. That the proposed use will have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting properties, since
the rooms have the potential to be used as small, long-term studio apartments without the
necessary parking and open space for such use, and since the project will not include the
required on -site manager's unit to ensure users of the facility do not disrupt adjacent
properties.
2. That the proposed use will have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting properties,
because the size of the project and height of the buildings proposed to be constructed, together
with the traffic generated by the project, make the project incompatible with the adjacent
residential neighborhood.

3. That the proposed use is not deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience and
welfare, as reflected in the Land Use Code, which requires a manager's unit and prohibits hotel
stays longer than 30 days and kitchenette facilities in hotels, and the City Council considered
but denied Code amendments to delete the requirement for a manager's unit and to allow
kitchen facilities and unlimited stays.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council hereby denies Planned
Development Permit Application No. PD-2000-9.
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 20th day of March, 2001.
