A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A
VEHICLE STORAGE LOT ON VACANT PROPERTY
NORTH OF 1330 HARDING AVENUE.
APPLICANT: J. Vernon Myres
(Case File No. CUP-2001-01)
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of National City considered a
Conditional Use Permit application for a vehicle storage lot at the regularly scheduled City
Council meeting of May 8, 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 No. CUP-2001-01, which is maintained by the City and incorporated
herein by reference along with evidence and testimony at said hearing; and
WHEREAS, this action is taken pursuant to all applicable procedures required
by State law 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 that the testimony and evidence presented to the City Council at the public
hearing held on May 8, 2001, support the following findings:
1. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape, since the
existing vacant parcels are large enough to accommodate the proposed use and landscaping.
2. 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 site is connected via an alley to Civic Center Drive, a collector street with nearby access
to north and southbound Interstate 5.
3. That the proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent or
abutting properties, since conditions of approval will limit the hours of operation and since
required landscaping and fencing will screen and buffer the use from an adjacent home and
residences across Harding Avenue.
4. That the proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public
convenience and welfare, since the use will provide needed storage for a nearby business. It will
also provide control of a vacant area that has been plagued by dumping violations in the past.
