THE TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP FOR THE DIVISION OF ONE LOT INTO NINE ON
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2121 GROVE STREET (APN: 561-380.24}
WHEREAS, ►S, the City Council of the City of National City considered a Tentative
Subdivision Map for the subdivision of one lot into nine at 2121 Grove Street at a duly

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission n f the City of National City considered the
Tentative Subdivision Map application at a duly advertised public hearing held on July 17, 2023,
at which time the Commission recommended mended approval of the Tentative Subdivision Map; and
WHEREAS, this action is taken pursuant to all applicable procedures required by State
law and City law; and
WHEREAS, S, the action hereby taken is found to be essential for the preservation of the

NOW, THEREFORE, E, THE CITY COUNCIL CIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY,
CALIFORNIA, 11, DOES RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE, E, AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section I: That the evidence presented to the City Council at the public hearing held on
August 15, 2023, support the following findings:
1. The proposed map is consistent with the National City General Plan because the
proposed single-family subdivision, at a density of 12.7 units per acre, is consistent with
the Small Lot Residential land use designation, which specifies a maximum density of
units per acre. The proposed density of 12.7 units per acre is allowable pursuant to
California Government Code Section 65915, which permits a 20 percent density bonus.
2. The site is physically suitable for the proposed type of development because the nine
single-family homes can be located on level building pads on the site with a minor amount
of grading.
3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development because The
proposed parcels can accommodate single family residences with yard areas with
reasonable incentive and waiver request for reduced development standards and an
increase in permitted density pursuant to California Government Code Section 65915,
4. The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements are not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or
their habitat because there is no natural habitat or body of water present nearby or on -site.
The property is surrounded by urban development.
5. The design of the subdivision and the proposed/required improvements are not likely to
cause serious public health problems because all necessary public services will be
provided, as required by approvals required for new construction.
, 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 existing easements will be maintained and not be
encroached upon,
7. 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 (commencing with Section 13000)
of the Water code, as specified by Government Code Section 66474.E because discharge
of sewerage waste will be addressed through a sewer permit, which is required as part of
construction of a future home.
8. 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 additional homeownership opportunities for households of mixed
incomes, which is consistent with and encouraged by the City's Housing Element.
9. 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 all
new construction proposed in the future will be in compliance with the California Building
Code, which takes such factors in to consideration.
10. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) and the project has been determined to be categorically exempt from
environmental review pursuant to Class 325 Section 1 332 In -fill Development Projects)
for which a Notice of Exemption will be filed subsequent to approval of this Tentative
Subdivision Map.
