RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A WIRELESS
COMMUNICATIONS FACILITY LOCATED AT 2575 EAST 8TH STREET
APPLICANT: VERIZON WIRELESS
CASE FILE NO. 2013-26 CUP
APN: 554-280-06
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of National City considered a
Conditional Use Permit for a wireless communications facility located at 2575 East 8th Street at
a duly advertised public hearing held on December 2, 2013, at which time the City Council
considered evidence; and,
WHEREAS, at said public hearing the City Council considered the staff report
provided for Case File No. 2013-26 CUP, which is maintained by the City and incorporated
herein by reference; along with any other evidence presented at said hearing; and,
WHEREAS, this action is taken pursuant to all applicable procedures required by
State law and City law; and,
WHEREAS, the action hereby taken is found to be essential for the preservation
of the public health, safety and general welfare.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
National City, California, that the evidence presented to the City Council at the public hearing
held on December 2, 2013, support the following findings:
1. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape, since the facility,
including the faux pine tree and shelter (195 square feet), can easily be accommodated on
the 7.21 acre site, and will not affect surrounding existing uses.
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 unmanned wireless communications facility requires only one to two visits each month
for routine maintenance, which will have a negligible effect on the adjacent developed
streets.
3. That the proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting properties,
since the 60-foot faux pine tree will adequately screen the twelve panel antennas, and
since the landscaping and fencing on -site will provide adequate screening of the equipment
shelter from adjacent properties.
4. That the proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience and
welfare, since it will improve the performance of the Verizon Wireless communications
network, resulting in enhanced service for its customers.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the application for Conditional Use Permit is
approved subject to the following conditions:

dispute arises with regard to co -locating with other existing or potential users, the City may
require a third party technical study at the expense of either or both the applicant and the
complaining user. This condition in no way obligates the City to approve any co -location
