Profit Philanthropic Organization for approximately 6.85 acres at 2505 and 2525 N Avenue
along with evidence and testimony presented at the duly advertised public hearing held by the
City Council on October 16, 2007; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission and City Council have caused and duly
held studies and proceedings for the timely amendment to the General Plan of the City of
National City, pursuant to Title 7, Chapter 3, Article 6 of the Government Code of the State of
California; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission at a duly advertised public hearing held on
August 20, 2007, considered the proposed amendment to the General Plan of the City of

hearing, and along with the proposed Negative Declaration together with any comments

WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes the need and desirability to conduct

and any comments received) that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a

Resolution No. 2007 — 249

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF GENERAL PLAN
AMENDMENT AND ZONE CHANGE FROM RS-1 TO IP-PD
1. That the proposed amendment to the Combined General Plan/Zoning Map
changing the subject property to an Private Institutional (IP-PD) zone designation is consistent
with the General Plan, since the proposed 6.85 acre site is a unique City property due to its
size, location, and historic resource, and the proposed Private Institutional zoning would be
consistent with the Civic Institutional zoned property adjacent to the east and south.
2. That the proposed amendment is in the public interest, since it will allow for an
adaptive reuse of a structure identified by the City as a Locally Designated Significant Building,
as well as the preservation of the established gardens, accessory buildings, and approximately
6.85 acres of land surrounding the home.
RECOMMENDED FINDINGS FOR
APPROVAL OF THE SPECIFIC PLAN
1. That the proposed Specific Plan is consistent with and necessary to implement
the General Plan, since the General Plan encourages the preservation, maintenance, and
restoration of historically significant buildings and sites (Community Design Procedures) and
also encourages use of specific plans and historic overlays to regulate the subdivision of
properties. The proposed Specific Plan would achieve both of these goals by restricting future
development on two lots totaling 6.85 acres, and by imposing design regulations which require
on -going preservation and maintenance of a historically significant structure.
2. That the proposed Plan is consistent with the Private Institutional General Plan
designation, since the designation is intended for private institutional facilities providing services
to City residents which the Specific Plan facilitates by limiting use of the property to facilities of a
private, nonprofit foundation, and also since the proposed foundation's mission is to improve the
quality of life of local residents the San Diego -Baja California area.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council adopts Specific Plan 2007-16 subject to
the following conditions:
1. All provisions and statements in the Specific Plan dated July 2007 by the
International Community Foundation shall be binding with regard to all currently proposed and
future uses, program activities, and development within the Specific Plan area, except as
modified by conditions of approval. Future development plans shall substantially conform to site
plans and elevations shown in Exhibit A-, dated 5/07/07, case file no. 2007-16 GP, ZC, SP,
unless authorized by and amendment to the Specific Plan. Planned development permits shall
be required for proposed development within the Plan area, except for the work identified in
Phase 1 of the Specific Plan (conversion of existing structures and parking lot construction).
Additional program activities and accessory structures may be approved subject to review and
approval by the Planning Director if determined to be consistent with the Specific Plan.
2. The Specific Plan shall not be effective, and building permits shall not be issued
until the zone designation affecting the property is amended to Private Institutional with a
Planned Development overlay (IP-PD).
