Tentative Subdivision Map and Consistency Review for "Park Lofts" located at 1509, 1531, 1535
National City Blvd., at a duly advertised public hearings held on October 7, 2014, at which time
oral and documentary evidence was presented; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the City Council considered the staff report

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
National City that the evidence presented to the City Council at the public hearing held on
October 7, 2014, supports the following findings:
1. The project is consistent with the Downtown Specific Plan for which an Environmental
Impact Report was certified and Mitigation Measures and a Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program (February 2005 SCH # 2004011110) were adopted.
2. The proposed map is consistent with the General Plan since it is consistent with and
implements the Downtown Specific Plan, which is a further refinement of the goals and
objectives of the General Plan.
3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed type of development since the proposed
project and all required improvements can be provided on site, and the project would
comply with the applicable development standards or has been granted the appropriate
exemptions.
4. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development since the proposed
project and all required improvements can be provided on site, and the project would
comply with the applicable development standards or has been granted the appropriate
exemptions.
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 the site is was previously developed and is located in a completely
urbanized area.
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, facilities,
infrastructure, and utilities 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, or such easements will be provided or relocated as required.

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 effect
on the housing needs of the region, and these needs are balanced by the public service
needs of the residents and available fiscal and environmental resources.
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.
