THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA,

HIGHLAND AVENUE AND STATE ROUTE 54.
APPLICANT: PACIFIC NATIONAL CITY HOLDING, L.L.C.,
C/O AMERICAN ASSETS
CASE FILE NO. LS-1995-3
WHEREAS, application was made for approval of a tentative parcel map for the
division of one parcel into five at the southwest corner of Highland Avenue and State Route 54 on
property generally described as:
Portions of 10 acre Lots 11, 12 and 13 of Quarter Section 151 of Rancho de La Nacion, in the
City of National City, County of San Diego, State of California, according to Map thereof No.
166, filed in the office of the County Recorder of San Diego County, May 11, 1968.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of National City, California,
considered said application at a public hearing held on August 21, 1995 at which time the Planning
Commission considered oral and documentary evidence, and the staff report contained in Case File
No. LS-1995-3 which is incorporated herein by reference; and,
WHEREAS, this action is taken pursuant to all applicable procedures required by State
law and City ordinances; 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 Planning Commission of the City of
National City, California, based on testimony and evidence introduced in the staff report and public
hearing for said tentative parcel map, makes the following findings:
1. The proposed map is consistent with the National City General Plan and applicable
specific plans, since each proposed lot will exceed the 5,000 sq.ft. minimum lot size
requirement and there are no specific plans required for this property.
2. The site is physically suitable for the proposed type of development, since
development plans for a shopping center have been approved and dividing this
property will not affect the type of development proposed.
3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development, since
dividing the property will not affect the approved density of development for the
shopping center.
4. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat, since the site is disturbed and does not provide fish or
wildlife habitat.
5. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements are not likely to cause
serious public health problems, since all necessary public services will be provided
at the time of construction of the shopping center.
6. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of the property
within the proposed subdivision, since no such easements are located on the site.
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 7 (commencing
with Section 13000) of the Water Code, as specified by Government Code Section
66474.6.
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.
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, contour, property configuration and other design and improvement
requirements without requiring reduction in allowable density or lot coverage.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that based on the findings hereinbefore stated, said
tentative parcel map for the division of one parcel into five at the southwest corner of Highland
Avenue and State Route 54 is hereby approved subject to the following conditions:
1. A soils engineering report for the proposed development shall be submitted for the
Engineering Department's review. It shall address the adequacy of the building
pads, the criteria for any new retaining wall design, the maximum allowable soil
bearing pressure and the required pavement structural sections for the proposed
parking areas and the driveways. As a minimum, the parking lot pavement shall be
2 inches over 4 inches Class II aggregate base.
2. An updated title report and a subdivision guarantee shall be submitted to the
Engineering Department with the final map.
3. The final map shall meet all of the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act and the
National City Municipal Code, including certification, acknowledgment, complete
boundary information and monumentation.
4. The subdivider shall submit an approval letter from Sweetwater Authority stating
fire flow requirements have been met. If additional improvements are needed, the
developer shall enter into an agreement for water facility improvements with the
Authority prior to obtaining final map approval.
5. Water and sewer laterals shall be provided to each parcel. Appropriate easements
for water and sewer access shall be secured and reserved prior to approval of the
final map.
6. The developer shall bond for the monumentation, public improvements, on -site
grading, drainage, landscaping, and other improvements through an agreement with
the City prior to approval of the final map.
7. All new utility distribution facilities within the boundaries of the subdivision and
within the half street abutting the subdivision shall be placed underground.
8. Recordation of reciprocal easement agreements will be required for the provision of
access to Highland Avenue (North Fourth Avenue) for Parcels 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
concurrently with recordation of the final map.
9. A drainage agreement and proper easements for the conveyance of site drainage and
storm drain improvements across the parcel lines will be required prior to approval
of the final map.
10. The necessary documents for the dedication of the 8 feet of right-of-way required
for the widening of North 4th Avenue (Highland Avenue) shall be prepared and
submitted to the Engineering Department for review and reference.

for the proposed shopping center and access road shall be considered as part of
conditions of approval of the final map.

13. The owner shall obtain approval from the Sweetwater Authority Board of Directors
for approval of remote water services required to serve the shopping center. After
approval, the owner shall submit evidence that private utility easements are granted
from Parcels 4 and 5 to the parcels whose services go through Parcels 4 and 5.
Individual fire services for each parcel may also be required with a common fire
service loop to serve the private hydrants.
14. The proposed storm drain along the southerly property line shall not be installed
within Sweetwater Authority's water easement. Therefore, the owner must either

north of the Authority's easement.
15. A right turn lane shall be provided along Fourth Avenue per Chula Vista drawing
PC 1066.
16. The landscape islands shall be relocated to the north to line up with curb line of

Grading".
18. If it is determined that the existing location of Ultronics cable facilities conflicts
with project improvements, the owner shall contact Ultronics to make arrangements
to relocate their facilities.
19. Prior to final map approval, those portions of proposed Parcels 1 and 3 located
currently within the City of Chula Vista shall either be annexed to National City or
be shown as separate parcels on the final map.
20. The final map shall be in substantial conformance with the tentative map as shown
in Exhibit A, case file no.: LS- 1 995-3/Z- 1995-2, dated 7/11/95.

the California Government Code.

to the applicant.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this resolution shall become effective and final
