RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR THE EXPANSION
OF A GAS STATION CONVENIENCE STORE LOCATED
AT 1803 HIGHLAND AVENUE
(APN: 561-171-18)
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of National City considered a Conditional
Use Permit for the expansion of a gas station convenience store located at 1803 Highland
Avenue at duly advertised public hearings held on January 17 and February 7, 2017, at which
time the City Council considered evidence; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearings, the City Council considered the staff report
provided for Case File No. 2016-17 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 that the evidence presented to the City Council at the public hearings held on
January 17 and February 7, 2017, 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 use is allowable within the Major Mixed Use Corridor zone pursuant to a
Conditional Use Permit, and the proposed expansion meets the required guidelines in the Land
Use Code for service stations and convenience stores.
2. That the proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable
specific plans because General Plan Policy LU-2.6 supports development and redevelopment
that creates jobs for all income levels, and General Plan Policy LU-2.9 encourages the
designation of land for commercial, office, and service uses sufficient to meet future City needs.
The expanded convenience store will help support the existing gas station and potentially create
addition job opportunities. In addition, the proposed facility is a conditionally -permitted use in
Major Mixed Use Corridor 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 the
convenience store is currently located on the property and the expansion of the store would have
minimal impact on the site.
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
property is already fully developed, including the convenience store. The proposal to expand the
store is consistent to the existing use and zone, and is suitable for the property.

5. That 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 expansion is consistent with the previously approved use, and is similar
in nature to surrounding area uses.
6. That the proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and staff has determined the proposed use to be
categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to Class 1 Section 15301 (Existing
Facilities) for which a Notice of Exemption will be filed subsequent to approval of this
Conditional Use Permit.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the application for Conditional Use Permit is
approved subject to the following conditions:
