OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA,
APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR

AND WEST 12' STREET, ADJACENT TO A RESIDENCE

CASE FILE NO. CUP-2000-6
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of National City considered a
Conditional Use Permit application for a 1,752 square foot commercial building at the northeast
corner of Coolidge Avenue and West 12t' Street, adjacent to a residence in the MLR zone, at a
duly advertised public hearing held on May 15, 2000, and continued to the meeting of June 5,
2000, at which time oral and documentary evidence was presented; and,
WHEREAS, at said public hearings the Planning Commission considered the staff report
contained in Case File No. CUP-2000-6 which is maintained by the City and incorporated herein
by reference along with evidence and testimony at said hearings; 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 hearings held on May 15 and June 5, 2000, support the following findings:
That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape, since there is
adequate area to provide parking and landscaping for the proposed use on the 6,500
square feet property.
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 project site has access from both Coolidge Avenue and 12th Street,
which serve more intense uses than the one proposed.
3. That the proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting
properties, since other commercial sites exist on the same block and in the
surrounding neighborhood, and since the site is buffered from the adjacent
residential parcel to the east by a six foot masonry wall and five feet of landscaping,
and since landscaping will also buffer the parking from Coolidge Avenue.
4. That the proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience
and welfare, since it will visually enhance a vacant property and provide
opportunities for office space or other business use.
