APPLICANT: ROBERT GULOTTA
CASE FILE NO. S-2006-12
WHEREAS, application was made for approval of a Tentative Subdivision Map to
Divide a 1.41-Acre Lot into Ten at the Site of Ten Existing Duplexes at 1205-1243 Fig Court, and
to Waive the Utility Undergrounding Requirement on property generally described as:

Diego, State of California, according to Map thereof No. 3153, filed
in the Office of the County Recorder of San Diego County,
November 4, 1954.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission considered said application at a duly
advertised public hearing held on April 2, 2007, at which time the Planning Commission
considered oral and documentary evidence, and recommended approval of the project, and
denial of the request to waive the utility undergrounding requirement; and
WHEREAS, the City Council considered said applications at a public hearing held
on May 1, 2007, 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. S-2006-12, 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 to Divide A 1.41-Acre Lot Into Ten
at the Site of Ten Existing Duplexes at 1205-1243 Fig Court, and grants in part the Request to
Waive the Utility Undergrounding Requirement, based on the following findings:
TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP
1. The proposed map is consistent with the National City General Plan and applicable specific
plans, since the proposal will result in increased property valuation while increasing the
likelihood of adequate property conservation, and since there are no applicable specific
plans.
2. The site is physically suitable for the proposed type of development, since no development
is proposed; only a change of ownership of existing development will take place.

3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development, since no
development is proposed; only a change of ownership of existing development will take
place.
4. 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 no development is proposed; only a change of ownership of existing
development will take place.
5. 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 continue to
be provided.
6. 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 no such easements are located on the site.
7. 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 Govemment Code Section 66474.6.
PARTIAL WAIVER OF UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING REQUIREMENT
1. To require undergrounding of the poles servicing properties outside of the subdivision
would be economically detrimental to the owners, and would pose an economic hardship
on potential new owners.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that based on the findings hereinbefore stated,
said Tentative Subdivision Map to create condominium ownership of an existing industrial park
at 1445-1645 Tidelands Avenue is hereby approved subject to the following conditions:
1. This Tentative Subdivision Map authorizes the division of one parcel into ten individual lots,
each containing an existing duplex. Except as required by conditions of approval, all plans
submitted for permits associated with the project shall conform with Exhibits A, 2nd
Revision, Case File No. S-2006-12, dated December 6, 2006.
2. A Landscape and automatic Irrigation Plan shall be submitted for the entire property. The
plan shall indicate plant species and sizes to replace or fill in areas where there is dead
and decaying plant material or missing landscaping (i.e., the rear slope, areas adjacent to
the sides of each building, existing paved areas not part of the required two parking spaces
per unit and front yard landscaped areas including the embankment in front of 1205-1207
Fig Court). The plan shall also show the relocation of the fencing to include the entire rear
property area not currently fenced. The Irrigation Plan shall indicate an automatic irrigation
system for each unit, location of irrigation heads and lines, and identify additional irrigation
provided in areas that are not watered or where sprinkler heads are damaged.
