RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
FOR A CHURCH AT 1920 SWEETWATER ROAD
IN THE SWEETWATER THEATERS BUILDING IN THE
SWEETWATER TOWN AND COUNTRY SHOPPING CENTER.
APPLICANT: CORNERSTONE CHURCH
CASE FILE NO. CUP-2003-20
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of National City considered a Conditional
Use Permit application for a church at 1920 Sweetwater Road in the Sweetwater Theaters
building in Sweetwater Town and country Shopping Center at the regularly scheduled City
Council meeting of December 2, 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-2003-20 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 December 2, 2003 support the following findings:
1. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape, since the existing 28,000
square foot building in a 24 acre shopping center is appropriately designed for a family
Christian center, and since adequate parking is available in the center for the existing
commercial uses and the proposed church.
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
there should be a decrease in the number of average daily trips attributable to the existing
building, since church uses typically generate considerably less traffic than movie theaters.
3. That the proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting properties,
since both traffic and parking demand within the center should be reduced when the
proposed church use replaces the movie theater, and since the existing theater building is
appropriately designed for church activities.
4. That the proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience and
welfare, since it will provide opportunities for its members and their guests to attend church
services and receive training in life skills.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the application is approved subject to the
following conditions:
