RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
MAKING A FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECT
FOR A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT, ZONE CHANGE, AND
TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP FOR THE REZONING OF PROPERTY
LOCATED AT EAST 16' STREET AND "M" AVENUE FROM SMALL
LOT RESIDENTIAL (RS-2) TO MEDIUM -DENSITY MULTI -UNIT
RESIDENTIAL (RM-1) IN ORDER TO CONSTRUCT A 29-UNIT
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, AND AUTHORIZING
THE FILING OF A NOTICE OF DETERMINATION.
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of National City considered said
certification at a duly advertised public hearing held on January 22, 2019, at which time the City
Council considered evidence and public testimony; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing the City Council considered the staff report
provided for Case File No. 2017-04 IS, 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 hearing held on
January 22, 2019, support the following findings:
1. That the project does not have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment,
substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal
community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or
animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or
prehistory, because while there is plant habitat on site in the form of native and non-native
grassland, San Diego Ambrosia, and onsite drainage, the Mitigated Negative Declaration
for this project provides for mitigation that will reduce potential impacts to a level of less
than significance.
2. That the project does not have impacts that are individually limited but cumulatively
considerable, because the project is an infill development on a historically vacant
property. The area is surrounded by urban development and the existing improvements
and development pattern can accommodate the project without causing any impacts to
the environment or to existing services.
3. That the project does not have environmental effects that will cause substantial adverse
effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly, because the project is a residential
development designed to provide a safe living environment for people. In addition, in
excess of the required landscaped open space is provided, which will help to screen the
project from adjacent uses, provide additional recreation space, and provide an offset for
Carbon Dioxide de (CO2) emissions.

4. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with CEQA for which a Mitigated
Negative Declaration (MND) has been prepared. The MND has determined that,
although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment without
mitigation, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation
measures described in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP),
included as part of the certified MND, reduce the impact to a less than significant level
with mitigation incorporated.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council has considered the proposed
Negative Declaration No. 2017-04 IS, together with any comments received during the public
review process, and finds on the basis of the whole record (including the Initial Study and any
comments received) that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant
effect on the environment and that the Mitigation Negative Declaration reflects the City's
independent judgment and analysis, and hereby approves the Mitigation Negative Declaration
and authorizes the filing of a Notice of Determination.
