Resolution 2019 -119
Page Two
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL
OF THE TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP
1. That the proposed map is consistent with the National City General Plan and
applicable specific plans because the project provides additional home ownership
opportunities, consistent with the General Plan, Westside Specific Plan, and
Housing Element.
2. That the site is physically suitable for the proposed type of development because he
site is vacant, generally flat in nature, and located on a corner with alley access,
therefore suitable to locate six new single-family homes on level pads with all
necessary improvements.
3. That the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development because,
as a qualifying affordable housing development, the project is in compliance with
all required density regulations of the Westside Specific Plan.
4. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements is not likely to
cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat because there is no natural habitat in the area or bodies of
water present on -site. In addition, the property is surrounded by urban development
and is currently developed with a residential use.
5. That the design of the subdivision and the proposed/required improvements are not
likely to cause serious public health problems because the property is currently
vacant and surrounded by existing residential developments. In addition, as a
qualifying affordable housing project, the land use and zoning designations allow for
the density requested, which was analyzed as part of the environmental document
associated with the most recent land use update.
6. That 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 because no such easements exist or
would be affected by the proposed development.
7. That the discharge of sewerage waste from the subdivision into the City of National
City sewer system will not result in violation of existing requirements prescribed by
the California Regional Quality Control Board pursuant to Division 7 (commencing
with Section 13000) of the Water Code, as specified by Government Code Section
Resolution 2019 -119
Page Three
66474.6, because the project is required to install and/or upgrade to current
requirements for sewage disposal by the Conditions of Approval of this permit.
8. That 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, because the project will provide six new homeownership opportunities,
which is consistent with and encouraged by the City's Housing Element.
9. That 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, because the existing property is vacant and the site is surrounded by
existing residential development. All new construction proposed in the future will be
in compliance with the California Building Code, which takes such factors in to
consideration.
10. That the proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with CEQA because
staff has determined the proposed use to be categorically exempt from
environmental review pursuant to Class 32 Section 15332 (In -Fill Development
Projects), for which a Notice of Exemption will be filed subsequent to approval of
this Tentative Subdivision Map.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the application for the Tentative Subdivision
