CASE FILE NO. CUP-2005-25
WHEREAS, the City Council considered a Conditional Use Permit application for
a wireless communications facility on the A -American Self -Storage building at 525 West 20th
Street at the regularly scheduled City Council meeting of May 16, 2006, 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-2005-25, 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 that the testimony and evidence presented to the City Council at the public hearing
held on May 16, 2006, support the following findings:
1. That the site for the proposed wireless communications facility is adequate in size and
shape, since the antennas and 170 square foot equipment storage area will be located
within and on an existing 21,850 square -foot industrial building.
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 wireless facility is unmanned and will typically be visited only once a month for
maintenance activities, and since the site can be accessed from a paved alley off West
20th Street.
3. That the proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting properties,
since the bulk of the equipment will be located inside an existing building, and since the
three small panel antennas located on the outside of the building will appear as small
architectural features painted to match the building.
4. That the proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience and
welfare, since it will improve the performance of the Cricket Communications wireless
communications network, resulting in enhanced service for its customers.
