APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR THE
SALE OF BEER AND WINE AT KARINA'S RESTAURANT

APPLICANT: EVANGELINA CONTRERAS
CASE FILE NO. CUP-2004-7
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of National City considered a
Conditional Use Permit application for the sale of beer and wine at Karina's Restaurant
at 1705 Highland Avenue at the regularly scheduled City Council meeting of July 20,
2004, 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-2004-7 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 20, 2004, support the following findings:
1. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape, since the sale of
beer and wine for on -site consumption will be in an existing 2,236 square foot
restaurant on a 12,320 square foot site; no enlargement or physical changes to the
building are proposed.
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 restaurant is existing and the proposal will not substantially
affect traffic.
3. That the proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting
properties, since the restaurant is already existing and is located in a developed
commercial area. Also, conditions of approval controlling the sale and consumption
of beer and wine on site will alleviate the potential for adverse effects.
4. That the proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience
and welfare, since it will contribute to the viability of the restaurant, and will be
consistent with the Cocina Mexicana concept.
