NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
National City that the testimony and evidence presented at the public hearing supports the
following findings:
1. That the proposed amendment is in the public interest since it would allow for the
comprehensive planning and development of the 1.2-acre parking lot and ensure an
appropriate buffer and transition in land use intensity between the higher intensity project
(Revolution 2) to the west and the less intensive community center in the IC (Civic
Institutional) zone to the east.
That 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 less intensive development near outlying
residential neighborhoods, and the implementation of design guidelines and
development standards to achieve high quality development.
3. That the proposed amendment is consistent with the Specific Plan, which has identified
improved north -south pedestrian and vehicle access to Kimball Park.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
National City 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, and hereby
approves the Addendum and the filing of the Notice of Determination for the amendment to the
National City Downtown Specific Plan.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council adopts an amendment to the
National City Downtown Specific Plan extending Development Zone 5B from the westem portion
of the subject property to the eastem portion for property at the southeast corner of 11th Street
