held on March 16, 2010, support the following findings:
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL FOR THE
ADOPTION OF THE WESTSIDE SPECIFIC PLAN
1. That the Westside Specific Plan is comprised of an area previously zoned Light
Manufacturing -Residential, and this zoning resulted in the development of industrial uses in
close proximity to residences, and this development pattern created conflicting land uses
related to noise, traffic, air quality and hazardous materials which led to requests by the
community to develop a comprehensive plan that would reduce the environmental impacts.
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 land use
changes, and that the plan provides opportunities to create community corridors that will
further enhance multi -modal transit to downtown National City, Kimball Park, City Hall, the
library, and the light rail transit station.

3. That the proposed Westside Specific Plan will have a beneficial effect upon adjacent or
abutting properties, since the plan proposes land use patterns that are more compatible
with the existing residential development by offering opportunities for increased residential
development and commercial services.
4. That the proposed Westside Specific Plan is deemed essential and desirable to effectively
improve the public health and welfare of the community, since the proposed Westside
Specific Plan will restrict additional land uses that utilize and store hazardous materials,
emit air pollutants, increase noise levels, and overall reduce the quality of life for the
residents.
5. That proposed Westside Specific Plan through future development and redevelopment will
increase retail development and provide additional employment, and will serve the
community's growing demand for retail services and increase opportunities for affordable
housing near services and transit.
6. That the proposed Westside Specific Plan achieves the Vision and Guiding Principles as
set forth by the community though a series of community meetings and through changes in
land use Westside would be established as a safe, healthy, and vibrant neighborhood.
7. That the proposed Westside Specific Plan supports the goals to conserve and enhance
Paradise Creek by creating opportunities for developing a parklike setting with habitat
restoration, park uses, trails, and active/passive uses adjacent to the creek, and the design
and development of the open space park would be coordinated with the resource agencies
to ensure the goals of the plan are met.
8. That the proposed Westside Specific Plan would meet the goals of the plan by reducing
impactive land uses that result in air pollution, hazardous materials storage, increased
noise levels, and parking and traffic issues.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council has considered the proposed
Westside Specific Plan together with any comments received during the public review process,
and finds on the basis of the whole record incorporated herein by reference along with evidence
and testimony at said hearing adopts the Westside Specific Plan.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Resolution shall become effective and
final on the day following the City Council meeting where the resolution is adopted. The time
within which judicial review of this decision may be sought is governed by the provisions of
Code of Civil Procedure Section 1094.6.
