RESOLUTION 2020-10
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA,
APPROVING A TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP FOR
THE SUBDIVISION OF ONE LOT INTO TWO LOCATED
AT 1305 EAST 17TH STREET
CASE FILE NO. 2020-13 LS
APN: 561-090-05
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of National City considered a
Tentative Parcel Map for the subdivision of one lot into two at 1305 East 17 th Street at a
duly advertised public hearing held on December 7, 2020, 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. 2020-13 LS maintained by the City and
incorporated herein by reference along with evidence and testimony at said hear ing;
and,
WHEREAS, this action is taken pursuant to all applicable procedures required by
State law and City law; and,
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 public hearing held on December 7, 2020, support the following
findings:
1. The proposed map is consistent with the National City General Plan because the
proposed single-family subdivision, at a density of 7.5 units per acre, is consistent
with the Small Lot Residential land use designation, which specifies a maximum
density of 9 units per acre the uses.
2. The site is physically suitable for the proposed type of development because an
additional single-family home can be located on a level building pad on the site
with a minor amount of grading.
3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development because
the proposed parcels can accommodate single family residences with suitable
yard areas and still meet prescribed recommended density for the area.
4. The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements are not likely to
cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish
or wildlife or their habitat because there is no natural habitat or body of water
present nearby or on-site. The property is surrounded by urban development.
5. The design of the subdivision and the proposed/required improvements are not
likely to cause serious public health problems because all necessary public
services will be provided, as required by approvals required for new construction.
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 existing easements will be
maintained and not be encroached upon.
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 because discharge of sewerage waste will be addressed through a sewer
permit, which is required as part of construction of a future home.
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 because the project will provide an additional homeownership
opportunity, which is consistent with and encouraged by the City’s Housing
Element.
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 all new construction proposed in the future will be in
compliance with the California Building Code, which takes such factors in to
consideration.
10. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with CEQA because it is
categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to Class 15 Section
15315 (Minor Land Divisions), for which a Notice of Exemption will be filed
subsequent to approval of this Tentative Parcel Map.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the application for the Tentative Parcel Map is
approved subject to the following conditions:
