RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
APPROVING A COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT
FOR THE CLOSING OF A 380-FOOT LONG SECTION
OF HARRISON AVENUE NORTH OF 23RD STREET
APPLICANT: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
CASE FILE NO. CDP-2003-4
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of National City considered a Coastal
Development Permit application for the vacation of a portion of Harrison Avenue north of 23ro
Street at the regularly scheduled City Council meetings of July 15, 2003 and August 5, 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. CDP-2003-4 and the Initial Study "MSI Incorporated' prepared by
Community Development Commission 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 hearings held on July 15, 2003 and August 5, 2003, support the following findings:
1. Find that the previously adopted Negative Declaration adequately addresses the project
and that it will have no significant effect on the environment.
2. That the granting of this coastal development permit is consistent with and implements
the Certified Local Coastal Program, since the portion of Harrison Avenue to be closed is
not a through street and does not serve as access to National City's bayfront.
3. That there are no required conditions of approval necessary to carry out the Certified
Local Coastal Program specified in the implementing ordinance that are applicable to the
granting of the coastal development permit.
4. That granting of this coastal development permit is consistent with all other City plans
and ordinances, since the General Plan does not identify any need for the right-of-way to
be used for public purposes.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council has considered the adopted
Negative Declaration entitled "MSI Incorporated" together with any comments received during
the public review process, and finds on the basis of the whole record (including the Initial Study
and any comments received) that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a
significant effect on the environment and that the Negative Declaration reflects the City's
independent judgment and analysis, and hereby approves the Negative Declaration and
authorizes the filing of a Notice of Determination.
