1. The proposed amendment is in the public interest since it would allow for the
comprehensive planning and development of the half block and ensure an appropriate
buffer and transition in land use intensity between the higher intensity Development
Zone 9 to the north and the less intensive RS-3 single family residence zone to the
south.
2. The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan and Specific Plan, which
encourage the revitalization of downtown, the transition from higher intensity
development in the downtown core to Tess intensive development near outlying
residential neighborhoods, and the implementation of design guidelines and
development standards to achieve high quality development.
3. The proposed amendment is consistent with the Specific Plan, which has identified the
9th Street corridor as a lower intensity urban residential street that will form an important
east -west connection between Central Elementary School and Education Village.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council has considered the proposed
Addendum to the Certified Program Environmental Impact Report for the National City
Downtown Specific Plan, and finds on the basis of the whole record that there are no substantial
changes to the project or circumstances that will result in new significant impacts or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified impacts and that the Addendum
reflects the City's independent judgment and analysis.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council adopts an amendment to the boundary of the
National City Downtown Specific Plan to include properties at the northeast corner of 9th Street
and O Avenue (Exhibit SP-2005-2 attached).
PASSED and ADOPTED this 15th day of November, 2005.
