APPLICANT: S.E. KIRK CASE FILE NO.: CUP-1995-6 WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of National City considered a Conditional Use Permit application for construction of a church on vacant property located immediately west of 710 East 8th Street at the regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting on August 21, 1995, at which time oral and documentary evidence was presented; and, WHEREAS, at said public hearing the Planning Commission considered the staff report contained in Case File No. PD-1995-6, which is maintained by the City and incorporated herein by reference; and, WHEREAS, this action is taken pursuant to all applicable procedures required by State law and City law; and, WHEREAS, the action recited herein is found to be essential for the preservation of public health, safety, and general welfare. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of National City, California, that the testimony and evidence presented to the Planning Commission at the public hearing held on August 21, 1995, support the following findings: 1. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape, since the site is sufficient in size to accommodate the proposed church and accessory parking in accordance with Land Use Code requirements. 2. That the site has sufficient access to streets and highways that are adequate in width and pavement type to carry the volume and type of traffic generated by the proposed use, since the property has 110 feet of frontage on East 8th Street from which access will be provided. The project is expected to generate approximately 200 average daily trips (ADTs) on days of assembly and approximately 50 ADTs on other days. The additional trips generated from the church are not expected to significantly impact traffic circulation in the area since most of the traffic generated from the church will occur on Sundays when traffic is generally lighter. Also, traffic counts provided by the Engineering Department indicate that with the additional church traffic, East 8th Street will continue to operate below its projected capacity. 3. That the proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting properties, since the site is adjacent to commercial development to the east, and East 8th Street, which has a right-of-way width of 80 feet, separates the use from residences and commercial development to the north. To the south is a school building located 175 feet from use and separated by a playground. Adjacent residences to the west are separated by an access driveway and 5 foot wide landscape strip. Installation of solid fencing, a minimum of six feet in height, will further separate the church from the residences. 4. That the proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience and welfare, since the development will occupy a site that has been vacant for some time and it will provide a new church for members of the community. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission has considered the proposed Negative Declaration No. IS-1995-6, together with any comments received during the public review process, and finds on the basis of the Initial Study and any comments received that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment, approves the Negative Declaration, and authorizes the filing of a Notice of Determination.
