CASE FILE NO. CUP-2003-6
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of National City considered a
Conditional Use Permit application for the sale of beer and wine at Pat & Oscar's
Restaurant at Plaza Bonita, at the regularly scheduled City Council meeting of May
20, 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. CUP-2003-6 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 May 20, 2003, support the following findings:
1. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape,
since the proposed use will be housed in an existing restaurant and requires no
additional construction.
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 proposed use is served by both Plaza Bonita
Road and Sweetwater Road, arterial streets, and since the addition of alcohol sales at
an existing restaurant is not expected to increase the amount of traffic to the site.
3. That the proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon
adjacent or abutting properties, since the proposed use will be compatible with other
businesses; and since it will be located approximately 500 feet from the nearest
residential properties and will be subject to conditions that limit the sale of alcohol,
restrict the hours that it will be available, and ensure that it remains accessory to the
sale of food.
