A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA,
APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT

IN A 15,000 SQUARE FOOT SUITE IN

APPLICANT: CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL
CASE FILE NO. CUP-2000-16
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of National City considered a
Conditional Use Permit application for a thrift store at 6 N. Euclid Avenue, in a 15,000 square
foot suite in National City Plaza Shopping Center at a duly advertised public hearing held on
August 7, 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. CUP-2000-16 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 August 7, 2000, support the following findings:
1. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape, since the proposed
activities will take place in a 15,008 square foot lease space, located in an existing
shopping center with adequate parking, delivery area, delivery truck parking area,
and driveway access on a 6.15 acre parcel.
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 proposed use is in an existing facility served by Euclid Avenue and
Division Street, which are arterial roadways with sufficient capacity to handle traffic
to the site, which has already been developed for commercial use.
3. That the proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting
properties, since the project site is located in an existing shopping center having a
mixture of retail, service, and restaurant uses.
4. That the proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience
and welfare, since it will occupy a currently vacant space, reduce the blighting
influence resulting from an existing vacancy, and attract additional customers to the
shopping center.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the application for Conditional Use Permit is approved
subject to the following conditions:
1. The deteriorated portions of the existing street improvements along the property frontages
shall be removed and replaced.

7. Tenant must apply for a tenant improvement building permit if anything is altered in the
existing store.
8. Tenant must receive plan approval of signage and changes to the storefront.
9. Merchandise shall be displayed on shelves and racks, or in a similar manner. Merchandise
shall be kept out of aisles, and shall not be stored in boxes on the floor of the display area.
10. Prior to opening for business the applicant shall submit a revised floor plan specifying the
locations and dimensions of space devoted to new and used merchandise. The revised floor

owner both shall sign and have notarized an Acceptance Form, provided by the Planning
Department, acknowledging and accepting all conditions imposed upon the approval of this
permit. Failure to return the signed and notarized Acceptance Form within 30 days of its
receipt shall automatically terminate the Conditional Use Permit. The applicant shall also

Real Property is recorded with the County Recorder. The applicant shall pay necessary
recording fees to the County. The Notice of Restriction shall provide information that
conditions imposed by approval of Conditional Use Permit are binding on all present or
future interest holders or estate holders of the property. The Notice of Restriction shall be
approved as to form by the City Attorney and signed by the Planning Director prior to
recordation.
15. Use authorized by this Conditional Use Permit shall be limited to a thrift store, and except

2000-16, dated July 10, 2000. The on -site storage and fencing of delivery trucks is subject
to site plan approval.
16. This permit shall become null and void if not exercised within one year after adoption of the
resolution of approval unless extended according to procedures specified in Section
18.116.190 of the Municipal Code.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this Resolution be transmitted forthwith to the
applicant and to the City Council.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that this Resolution shall become effective and final on the day
following the City Council meeting where the Planning Commission resolution is set for review, unless
