DATE: November 28, 2006 M chael R. Ila, CMC City Clerk o the City of National City No+ ladop fed RESOLUTION NO. 2006 — 228 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY APPROVING A TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP AND PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT, APPROVING A NEGATIVE DECLARATION, AND AUTHORIZING THE FILING OF A NOTICE OF DETERMINATION FOR A RETIREMENT COMMUNITY INCLUDING 498 SENIOR RESIDENTIAL UNITS ON AN 11.9-ACRE VACANT SITE BETWEEN 4TH AND 8TH STREETS AND BETWEEN ARCADIA AVENUE AND BURDEN DRIVE. APPLICANT: GENERATIONS DEVELOPMENT, LLC. CASE FILE NO. S-2006-2/PD-2006-1/IS-2006-1 WHEREAS, application was made for approval of a Tentative Subdivision Map and Planned Development Permit for a retirement community including 498 senior residential units on an 11.9-acre vacant site between 4'h and 8th Streets and between Arcadia Avenue and Burden Drive, on property generally described as: A portion of the Northeast 1/4 of the Southwest Quarter, a portion of the southeast /44 of the southwest quarter, a portion of the northwest 1/4 of the southeast Y4, and a portion of the southwest 1/4 of the southeast Y4 of Quarter Section 105 of Rancho De La Nacion according to Map thereof No. 166, together with Lots 1 thru 20 of Traquilla Place according to Map thereof No. 1433, all in the City of National City, County of San Diego, State of California. WHEREAS, the Planning Commission considered said application at a public hearing held on September 18, 2006, and by Resolution recommended conditional approval of the application; and WHEREAS, the City Council considered said application at a public hearing held on October 17 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 Nos. S-2006-2/PD-2006-1 and IS-2006-1 which is maintained by the City, and incorporated herein by reference; along with evidence and testimony at said hearing; and WHEREAS, this action is taken pursuant to all applicable procedures required by State and City law; and WHEREAS, the action recited herein is found to be essential for the preservation of public health, safety and general welfare. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of National City hereby approves the Tentative Subdivision Map and Planned Development Permit for a retirement community including 498 senior residential units on an 11.9-acre vacant site between 4th and 8th Streets and between Arcadia Avenue and Burden Drive, based on the following findings: RESOLUTION NO. 2006 — 228 November 21, 2006 Page 2 FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF THE TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP 1. Find that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment and adopt the proposed negative declaration. 2. The proposed map is consistent with the National City General Plan and applicable specific plans, since the proposed senior residential community, at a density of 41.4 units per acre, is consistent with the uses allowed in the Senior Citizens' Housing (RM-3) Zone and the density of other similar senior projects within the City, since the proposal adds infill development suitable for a specific segment of our community as described in the report, and since there are no specific plans applicable to the property. 3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed type of development, since the proposed senior residential community will provide a needed service for senior residents; meet or exceed many design regulations required of non -age restricted apartments; add to the urban character of the area; and the development mostly follows the existing contours of the site and only minimal grading will be needed to establish stable building pads. 4. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development, since the three- to six -story buildings proposed will be buffered from the established single-family neighborhood adjacent to the east by the San Diego Academy property and a three-story multi -family subdivision currently under construction, will be buffered from the established single-family neighborhood to the north by appropriate setbacks, landscaping, and site layout, and will complement the existing hospital campus to the west. 5. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat, since there is no natural habitat nor bodies of water on the site, and the site is surrounded by urban development. 6. The design of the subdivision and the proposed/required improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems, since all necessary public services will be provided. 7. The design of the subdivision and the proposed/required improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision, since any easements located on the site will be relocated by condition of approval. 8. The discharge of sewerage waste from the subdivision into the City of National City sewer system will not result in violation of existing requirements prescribed by the California Regional Quality Control Board pursuant to Division 7 (commencing with Section 13000) of the Water Code, as specified by Government Code Section 66474.6. 9. The subdivision has been considered by the Planning Commission with regard to its benefit to senior housing needs in the community and the region, and these needs are balanced by the availability of public service and public utilities to the project site. RESOLUTION NO. 2006 — 228 November 21, 2006 Page 3 10. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive and natural heating and cooling opportunities in the subdivision, based on consideration of local climate, topography, property configuration and other design and improvement requirements without requiring reduction in allowable density or lot coverage. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT 1. Find that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment and adopt the proposed negative declaration. 2. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape, since the site can accommodate 498 senior apartments with adequate parking, social services and amenities, and useable common spaces which are appropriate for a senior residential community. 3. 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 498 new senior apartments will generate approximately 1,860 average daily trips (ADT) which can be adequately served by adjacent streets, including East 4th Street, which is a collector with a functional maximum ADT of 10,000, and East 8'h Street, which is a major arterial with a functional maximum ADT of 25,000. 4. That the proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting properties, since the traffic generated by the project can be absorbed by the existing roads in the area, and since the characteristics integrated into the project will allow it to harmonize with the existing surrounding development. 5. That the proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience and welfare, since 498 new independent congregate and assisted living housing opportunities will be created in a region facing a growing demand for additional housing, especially senior housing. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of National City has considered the proposed Negative Declaration (IS-2006-1) together with any comments received during the public review process, and finds on the basis of the whole record (including the Initial Study and any comments received) that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment, and that the proposed Negative Declaration reflects the City's independent judgment and analysis, and hereby approves the proposed Negative Declaration, and authorizes the filing of a Notice of Determination. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that based on the findings hereinbefore stated, said Tentative Subdivision Map and Planned Development Permit for a retirement community including 498 senior residential units on an 11.9-acre vacant site between 4th and 8th Streets and between Arcadia Avenue and Burden Drive is hereby approved subject to the following conditions: RESOLUTION NO. 2006 — 228 November 21, 2006 Page 4 1.
