RESOLUTION NO. 2022-13
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA
APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
FOR BEER AND WINE SALES AT A
NEW RESTAURANT (BB.Q CHICKEN)
LOCATED AT 2527 EAST PLAZA BLVD.
CASE FILE NO. 2022-07 CUP
APN: 558-010-48
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of National City considered a
Conditional Use Permit for beer and wine sales at a new restaurant (BB.Q Chicken)
located at 2527 East Plaza Blvd. at a duly advertised public hearing held on April
18, 2022, 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. 2022-07 CUP 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.
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 April 18, 2022, support the following findings:
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 commercial 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 proposed alcohol sales and live entertainment would be accessory to
the primary use of food sales, and because a restaurant existed on the site
previously.
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
limit the sale of beer and wine as well as the hours that it will be available. Beer and
wine will only be available with the sale of food. In addition, all staff members
serving alcohol are required to receive Responsible Beverage Sales and Service
(RBSS) training.
6. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and is not considered a project under CEQA,
as no development is proposed. In addition, the proposed use is similar to other
commercial uses in the area, which are permitted in the MXD-1 zone.
7. The proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience or
necessity, because alcohol sales will contribute to the viability of the restaurant, an
allowed use in the MXD-1 zone.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the application for a Conditional Use
Permit is approved subject to the following conditions:
