S-2002-2 WHEREAS, application was made for approval of a tentative subdivision map for the division of a vacant 46,335 square foot property into eight parcels at the southeast corner of 8th Street and N Avenue on property generally described as: A portion of the Northwest Quarter of the Northeast Quarter of 40 acre Lot 1 in Quarter Section 132, Rancho De La Nacion, in the City of National City, County of San Diego, State of California, according to Map thereof No. 166, filed in the Office of the County Recorder of San Diego County. WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of National City, California, considered said application at a public hearing held on December 2, 2002, and by Resolution recommended conditional approval of the application; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of National City considered said application at a public hearing held on February 4, 2003, 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. S-2002-2 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 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 it hereby approves the tentative subdivision map to divide a vacant 46,335 square foot property at the southeast corner of 8th Street and N Avenue into eight parcels based on the following findings: Resolution No. 2003 — 26 February 18, 2003 Page Two 1. The proposed map is consistent with the National City General Plan and applicable specific plans, since the CL Limited Commercial General Plan/Zoning designation provides for residential infill development, since the General Plan promotes home ownership opportunities, and since there is no Specific Plan applicable to the site. 2. The site is physically suitable for the proposed type of development, since minimal grading will be necessary and the geotechnical report identifies the area as suitable for single-family residences. 3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development, since each new parcel will have sufficient pad area to accommodate future development of new homes and since each lot will measure over 5,000 square feet in size in compliance with the requirements of the Land Use Code. 4. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat, since no unique environmental resources exist on the site, which is located in an urbanized area. 5. The design of the subdivision and the proposed/required improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems, since all necessary public services will be provided. 6. The design of the subdivision and the proposed/required improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision, since no such easements are located on the site. 7. The discharge of sewerage waste from the subdivision into the City of National City sewer system will not result in violation of existing requirements prescribed by the California Regional Quality Control Board pursuant to Division 7 (commencing with Section 13000) of the Water Code, as specified by Government Code Section 66474.6. 8. The subdivision has been considered by the City Council with regard to its effect on the housing needs of the region, and these needs are balanced by the public service needs of the residents and available fiscal and environmental resources. Resolution No. 2003 — 26 February 18, 2003 Page Three 9. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive and natural heating and cooling opportunities in the subdivision, based on consideration of local climate, topography, property configuration and other design and improvement requirements without requiring reduction in allowable density or lot coverage. 10. That the property to be divided is of such shape that it is impossible or impracticable to fully conform to the subdivision requirements for street frontage, since the property shape prevents the lot from being logically divided to maximize the use of the property without the proposed exception. 11. That the exception for two Tots with reduced street frontage will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or be detrimental to other properties in the vicinity, since the property will be adequately served by all necessary utilities, and will be accessible to emergency services. 12. That granting of the exception for two lots with reduced street frontage is in accordance with the intent and purposes of the Subdivision Ordinance, and is consistent with the General Plan and with all other applicable plans of the City, since the proposal will create opportunities for home ownership on lots greater than 5,000 square feet in size in compliance with the General Plan, and conforms to the Land Use Code. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that based on the findings hereinbefore stated, said tentative subdivision map for division of a vacant 46,335 square foot property into eight parcels at the southeast corner of 8th Street and N Avenue is hereby approved subject to the following conditions: 1. This Tentative Map authorizes the division of one lot into eight, with exceptions allowing two irregular shaped lots with 20 feet of street frontage, one lot with a five-foot rear yard setback, and one lot with a 10-foot rear yard setback.
