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 November 15, 2021, support the following findings: 1. The proposed use is allowable within the applicable zoning district pursuant to a Conditional Use Permit and complies with all other applicable provisions of the Land Use Code, because transitional housing is allowable within the RS -3 zone and the proposed use meets the re quired guidelines in the Land Use Code for such use, as discussed in the staff report. 2. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan, because the homeless population in the City is identified as a special needs group by the Housing Element of the General Plan, which would be benefited by approval of this CUP. There is no Specific Plan in the area. 3. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed activity would be compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity, because no expansion of the building is proposed. The proposal involves an existing public assembly and residential space, which was previously analyzed for traffic impacts when it was constructed. 4. The site is physically suitable for the type, density, and intensity of use being proposed, including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints, because the property is developed less than 25% of its overall area and no expansion of the existing development is proposed. 5. Granting the permit would not constitute a nuisance or be injurious or detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or materially injurious to persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located, because the proposed use will be subject to conditions that control operations of the transitional housing/navigation center use, including the time, manner, and place in which activities may occur, so that any potential community impacts are minimized. 6. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and staff has determined that the proposed use is categorically exempt from a CEQA environmental review as defined in Categorical Exemption Class 1, Section 15301 (Existing Facilities); no construction is proposed and the proposed use will generate less in the way of traffic or parking impacts than the previous use for which the site was developed. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the application for a Conditional Use Permit is approved subject to the following conditions: General 1.
