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 15, 2015, support the following findings: FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 1. That the proposed use is allowable within the applicable zoning district pursuant to a Conditional Use Permit and complies with all other applicable provisions of the Land Use Code, because the site is zoned Major Mixed -Use District (MXD-2), which allows the sale of alcoholic beverages for on -site consumption as an accessory use to eating places subject to a CUP. 2. That the proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plans, because alcohol sales are permitted, subject to a Conditional Use Permit, by the Land Use Code, which is consistent with the General Plan; and because alcohol sales for on -site consumption are a conditionally -allowed use in the Major Mixed -Use District zone. 3. That the design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed activity would be compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity, because there are five other restaurants at Westfield Plaza Bonita that sell alcohol, and because no increase in square -footage would occur. 4. That the site is physically suitable for the type, density, and intensity of use being proposed, including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints, because the proposed use would be accessory to a restaurant use in an existing commercial suite, which is not expected to increase the demand for parking on the property. Resolution No. 2015 —187 Page Two 5. Granting the permit would not constitute a nuisance or be injurious or detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or materially injurious to persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located, because the proposed use will be compatible with other nearby businesses; and because the proposed use will be subject to conditions that limit the sale of alcohol and restrict the hours that it will be available. 6. That the proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, because it has been determined that the proposed use is not a project per the Act; There is no calculable increase in traffic and no other impacts are anticipated; therefore, the project would not result in any physical changes to the environment. 7. That the proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience and necessity, because it will contribute to the continued viability of a restaurant, an established and allowed use in the Major Mixed -Use District Zone. 8. That based on findings 1 through 7 above, public convenience and necessity will be served by a proposed use of the property for the retail sales of alcoholic beverages pursuant to law.
