APPLICANT: JOHN BALL.
CASE FILE NO. PD-2000-1
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of National City considered a Planned
Development Permit application for a 9,095 square foot automobile showroom at 2135 National
City Boulevard at a duly advertised public hearing held on June 5, 2000 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-2000-1 which is maintained by the City and incorporated herein
by reference along with evidence and testimony 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 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 June 5, 2000, support the following findings:
1. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape, since the nearly one -
acre lot contains ample room to accommodate the 9,095 square foot showroom
without the need for variances from 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 site is currently used for automobile sales, and the project will not
change the use of the property or generate additional traffic at the site.
3. That the proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting
properties, since there is no change in use proposed and the new showroom will
enhance the appearance of the property, and since the screening between the project
site and the adjacent residence will remain.
4. That the proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience
and welfare, since the General Plan designates the project area for automobile
dealerships and promotes high -quality commercial development in order to generate
the greatest benefit.
