CASE FILE NO. 2016-23 S APN : 562-190-32 WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of National City considered a Tentative Subdivision Map for a mixed-use condominium project to be located at 341 East 3oth Street at a duly advertised public hearing held on May 15, 2017, 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. 2016-23 S 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 taw; 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 May 15, 2017, support the following findings : 1. The proposed map is consistent with the National City General Plan and applicable specific plans, because the project is in compliance with all required density and floor area maximums; provides additional home and business ownership opportunities, consistent with the General Plan and Housing Element; and meets all requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance (NCMC Title 17), including minimum lot size and dimension. 2. The site is physically suitable for the proposed type of development, because the 12,500 square-foot lot can accommodate the requested number of units within the limits for density and floor area established by the General Plan and Land Use Code. Planning Commission Meeting of May 15, 2017 Page2 3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development, because the proposed multi-family residential development, at a density of 41 units per acre, is less than the 48 units per acre allowed in the Minor Mixed-Use Corridor (MXC-1) zone, and the proposed infill development increases the available housing units in the City. 4. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat, because there is no natural habitat in the area or bodies of water present on-site . In addition, the property is surrounded by urban development and is currently developed with a residential use. 5. The design of the subdivision and the proposed/required improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems, because the property is currently developed and surrounded by existing residential developrr.ents. In addition, the land use and zoning designations allow for the density requested, which was analyzed as part of the environmental document associated with the most recent land use update. 6. The design of the subdivision and the proposed/required improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision, because no such easements would be affected by the proposed development. 7 . The discharge of sewe rage 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 c;luality Control Board pursuant to Division 7 (commencing with Section 13000) of the Water Code, as specified by Government Code Section 66474.6, because the project is required to install and/or upgrade to current requirements for sewage disposal by the Conditions of Approval of this permit. 8. T he subdivision has been considered by the Planning Commis$ion 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, ~cause the project will provide eleven new homeownership opportunities, which is consistent with and encouraged by the City's Housing Element. Planning Commission Meeting of May 15, 2017 Page3 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, topography, property configuration and other design and improvement requirements without requiring reduction in allowable density or lot coverage , because the existing property is already developed and the site is surrounded by existing residential development. All new construction proposed in the future will be in compliance with the California Building Code, which takes such factors in to consideration . 10. That the proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, because staff has determined the proposed use to be categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to Class 32 Section 15332 (In-Fill Development Projects), for which a Notice of Exemption will be filed subsequent to approval of this Tentative Subdivision Map. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the application for Conditional Use Permit is approved subject to the following conditions : General 1.
