WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of National City, California, considered said applications at a duly advertised public hearing held on August 20, 2019; and, WHEREAS, at said public hearing the City Council considered the staff report provided for Case File No. 2019-08 S, 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; and, WHEREAS, on August 5, 2019, the Planning Commission conducted a Public Hearing on this item resulting in a recommendation of six to one in favor of approving the Tentative Subdivision Map. 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 August 20, 2019, support the following findings: 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 Map is approved subject to the following conditions: General 1.
