CUP-2001-5 WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of National City considered the applicant's appeal of the Planning Commission's denial of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP- 2001-5) application for the sale of beer and wine in an existing market at 431 North Highland Avenue at the regularly scheduled meeting of July 17, 2001, at which time oral and documentary evidence was presented; and WHEREAS, at said public hearing the City Council considered the staff report prepared for Case File No. CUP-2001-5, 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, this 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 July 17, 2001, support the following findings: 1. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape, since the existing market has ample room available for the incidental sale of beer and wine. 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 already developed as a market and has adequate access via North Highland Avenue/43' Street, an arterial, and the applicant has stated that the majority of his customers live nearby and walk to the market. 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, limit the size and types of containers offered for sale, and prohibit loitering and drinking on the premises. 4. That public convenience and necessity may be served by a proposed use of the property for the retail sales of alcoholic beverages pursuant to law.
