The meeting adjourned at 10:31 p.m. __________________________________ Tonya Hussain, CMC, Deputy City Clerk The foregoing minutes were approved at the Regular Meeting of April 7, 2026. ___________________________________ Ron Morrison, Mayor Page 28 of 304 AGENDA REPORT Department: Police Department Prepared by: Chris Sullivan, Police Captain Meeting Date: Tuesday, April 7, 2026 Approved by: Alejandro Hernandez, Acting City Manager SUBJECT: Approval to Add One (1) Executive Assistant II (1.0 FTE) position to the Police Department’s Authorized Position Count RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution entitled, “Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City, California, Adding 1.0 FTE to the Police Department’s Authorized Position Count for the Executive Assistant II Position and Authorizing an Increase of $34,000 to the Police Department’s Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Personnel Budget.” BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION: Not Applicable. EXPLANATION: The Police Department is requesting the addition of a full-time Executive Assistant II position to its Authorized Position Count. This position will work directly to the Police Administration within the Chief’s Office, and is necessary to support the sensitive and confidential nature of the office’s operations. Currently, the Chief’s Office is staffed by one Executive Assistant IV and one Administrative Secretary. However, the responsibilities of the Administrative Secretary are not fully aligned with the level of confidentiality required in the Chief’s Office and would be better suited within another unit of the Police Department. Given the high volume of confidential materials, sensitive communications, and secure records managed within the Chief’s Office, there is clear operational need for a second confidential-level position. The addition of an Executive Assistant II will ensure appropriate handling of confidential information and strengthen the overall administrative support to Police Administration. FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The estimated cost of adding 1.0 FTE Executive Assistant II for the remainder of FY26 is approximately $34,000. Upon approval, the cost will be incorporated into the existing General Fund Personnel Services budget. Ongoing annual costs are estimated at approximately $136,000 and will be included in the proposed FY27 budget. FY26 Expenditures: 100-70-21-21100-6***- (***various personnel accounts) totaling $34,000. FY27 Expenditures: 100-70-21-21100-6***- (***various personnel accounts) totaling $136,000.

WHEREAS, the Police Department has requested the addition of 1.0 FTE (a full-time position) to its current year authorized position count for an Executive Assistant II position to work directly for the Police Administration in the Chief’s Office; and WHEREAS, the department currently has one Executive Assistant IV and one Administrative Secretary in the Chief’s Office but, due to the volume of confidential materials, confidential discussions and information, and the confidential files within the Chief’s Office, the department is in need of a second confidential position; and WHEREAS, the Executive Assistant II position will cost an estimated $136,000 over a one-year period, and will cost $34,000 over the current fiscal year 2025-2026 adopted budget to fund the position for the remainder of this fiscal year. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA, DOES RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE, AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section 1: That the City Council hereby authorizes the addition of 1.0 FTE to the Police Department’s authorized position count for an Executive Assistant II position.

Background Observing a legislative recess from a City Council Meeting Schedule is practiced in a number of San Diego cities that recess both in the summer and winter. Some cities, the State Legislature and quasi-governmental entities such as the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) and the Airport Authority, recess over an entire month, generally in the summer. For the past nine (9) years, the City Council voted to recess during the month of July. Prior to that the City Council voted to recess during the month of August one (1) time. This is consistent with City Council Policy #104 Section III Meetings (H): H. City Council Recess Periods: The City Council has traditionally observed a recess period during the summer to provide elected officials and staff an opportunity to catch up on work, reenergize after a lengthy budget and strategic planning process, and prepare for the start of a new fiscal year. For purposes of this policy, a recess period is defined as a period of time longer than twenty (20) days without a regular or special meeting of the Council. To assist the City Council with its decision, please note the following: Should the City Council recess in July, there would be (6) weeks between meetings (June 16- August 4, 2026). As a reminder, the first meeting after the break, Tuesday, August 4, 2026, is also “National Night Out.” City Councils in the past have opted to begin the City Council Meeting Page 76 of 304 at 5:00 p.m. with a light agenda, allowing the City Council to attend the “National Night-Out Against Crime” events held in the City. National City Municipal Code Section 2.04.020 – Dispensing with Meetings. In the event that the time of a regular meeting of the City Council falls on a holiday or election day, no meeting will be held that week. Any regular meeting may be dispensed with by a vote of the City Council. City Council Policy No. 104 (III)(K) K. Holidays or Elections: In the event that a regular meeting of the City Council is scheduled on the same day as a legal holiday or an election day on which a National City Candidate or National City Measure appears on the ballot, no meeting will be held that week. Any regular meeting may be dispensed with by a majority vote of the City Council.

The project is consistent with the General Plan and Local Coastal Plan. Executive Summary The applicant, WestAir, is a multi-use retail gas supplier proposing propane storage and dispensing operations at their new location at 2100 Haffley Avenue. The business is located in the Medium Manufacturing zone and Coastal Zone overlay. The property is an 88,880 square-foot industrial site, with an existing 24,000 square-foot warehouse building. The current use of the site, industrial gas warehouse and retail sales, is a use that is permitted by right in the absence of the requested propane storage and dispensing. WestAir has also been operating for several years at 2300 Haffley Avenue. Due to the characteristics of the proposed project, an Initial Study (IS) checklist pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) was prepared with a draft Negative Declaration (ND). Planning Commission approval is required for the certification of the ND, as well as the CUP and CDP. The initial request from the applicant included a hydrogen fueling station, which was later withdrawn. The property is located within the City’s Coastal Zone (CZ) overlay and subject to the development regulations outlined in the Local Coastal Program (LCP). S ince the Implementation Plan of the LCP has not been formally updated, properties within the CZ are still regulated by the previous Land Use Code (LUC). All projects in the CZ that require approval of a CUP must also have an approved CDP. The City of Natio nal City maintains permit jurisdiction for the subject property and, therefore, can approve a CDP. Site Characteristics Situated west of Haffley Avenue between West 19th Street and Bay Marina Drive, the two-acre site is located in the City’s industrial area, which encompasses a majority of the properties in the Coastal Zone west of Interstate 5. All surrounding properties are occupied by industrial uses and are within the same Medium Manufacturing-Coastal Zone (MM-CZ) zoning designation. To the north is a wood treatment facility. Located 35Page 81 of 304 Planning Commission Meeting of March 16, 2026 Page 3 south of the project site is a metal fabrication business, Fabrication Technology Industries, and the applicant’s existing gas retail business, WestAir, which will remain in full operation. Directly abutting the property to the west are railway tracks operated by Burling Northern Santa Fe (BNSF). Across Haffley Avenue to the east is a rental car overflow site. The property is currently occupied by a 24,000 square-foot warehouse building and a paved outdoor loading yard. There are two entrances off Haffley Avenue, one leading directly to employee/customer parking and the other provides access to the yard area where the proposed propane tank and appurtenances would be installed. The site is included on a list of hazardous materials sites. It was previously operated by Univar, a global chemical and ingredients distributor which led to contamination of the site. As a result, installation of air sparge and soil vapor extraction wells occurred in March of 2022. Remediation of the site is ongoing. However, the environmental consultants for the remediation indicated the proposed tank is not incompatible with the existing vapor recovery system (Attachment 6). Proposed Use The applicant proposes to install and operate a 30,000-gallon above ground horizontal propane tank with associated dispensing equipment. Propane will be delivered via commercial propane transport trucks from regional suppliers and transported directly to the on-site 30,000-gallon storage tank once every two weeks. Propane will be dispensed for retail customers in five-to-twenty-five-gallon tanks. Propane As defined by the U.S. Department of Energy – Alternative Fuels Data Center, Propane is a three-carbon alkane gas (C3H8). It is stored under pressure inside a tank as a colorless, odorless liquid. As pressure is released, the liquid propane vaporizes and turns into gas that is used in combustion. An odorant, ethyl mercaptan, is added for leak detection. If spilled or released from a vehicle, it presents no threat to soil, surface water, or groundwater. Propane is produced as a byproduct of natural gas processing and crude oil refining (https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/propane-basics). 36Page 82 of 304 Planning Commission Meeting of March 16, 2026 Page 4 Analysis The existing multi-use retail gas supplier has requested to install and operate a propane storage tank, which is a permitted use in the MM zone with the approval of a CUP and a CDP. General Plan The proposal is consistent with the General Plan and the following General Plan policies. Land Use (LU) Element Policy LU 6.2 requires development to be consistent with the Zoning Code, General Plan, and applicable specific plans. The proposed use is consistent with the Industrial (I) designation of the General Plan and with applicable Zoning Code requirements. Land Use Code (LUC) As discussed, the project is in a section of the CZ where the City retains permit jurisdiction and the development standards applied to the proposed development are contained within the previous version of the LUC. The project is located within the MM zone, which is regulated by Chapter 18.18 of the previous LUC. Land uses in the previous code are listed as permitted or permitted with a CUP under “use groups” that organize similar land uses into broader categories. Use Group 35 – Wholesaling, Warehousing and Distribution, which is allowed in the MM zone, permits for Bottled Gas Sales and Distribution by right. Use Group 23 – Medium Manufacturing, which is allowed in the MM zone, permits the storage and distribution of Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) with the approval of a CUP. Section 18.84 of the previous LUC provide rules of operation for the installation and use of storage and dispensing for LPG. Operational rules include conforming with National City Fire Code and Unified Pressure Vessel Safety Code of the Division of Industrial Safety of the state, as well as requiring the dispensing of LPG be by fully competent and qualified persons, who understand the properties of propane, and who are thoroughly trained in safe practices for handling, distribution, and operation. These operational standards are included as conditions of approval. The proposal has also been reviewed for conformance with applicable design regulations. The site is sufficient in size for the proposed use and meets the minimum required lot area 37Page 83 of 304 Planning Commission Meeting of March 16, 2026 Page 5 and frontage. The proposed location of the tank will adhere to minimum setbacks. The site is already developed and has existing outdoor screening and landscaping. Coastal Zone As previously noted, the business location is within the Coastal Zone. Under normal (non- discretionary permit) circumstances, no Coastal Development Permit (CDP) would be required as this area is exempt from CDPs. However, the need for a discretionary approval in this case (CUP) also triggers a CDP. The only difference with this application would be the need for two additional findings related to consistency with the Local Coastal Plan, which is included in the attached Resolution (Attachment 1). The two required findings for approval for CDPs are further discussed in the findings section. Safety Due to the type of use and the presence of hazardous material on site, the applicant will be required to submit detailed plans to the National City Fire Department prior to construction and operation of the propane tank. The plans will include an Emergency Disaster Response Plan, Cost Recovery Plan, trainings, and compliance with all applicable Fire Codes. In addition to the National City Fire Department, the project is subject to multiple federal, state, and local regulations that explicitly regulate the safety and handling of hazardous materials. Operations related to the storage and dispensing of propane will follow proper safety and operation protocols from all relevant federal, state, and local requirements. Traffic Potential traffic for the proposed use was analyzed in the Initial Study. The project is not expected to have any traffic related impacts. However, Staff has included a condition of approval requiring signage on site for trucks to adhere to approved truck routes in the City. Mailing All property owners and occupants within 300 feet of the property are required to be notified of a public hearing for CUP and CDP applications. Notice of this public hearing was sent to 13 occupants and owners. No comments have been received as of writing this report. 38Page 84 of 304 Planning Commission Meeting of March 16, 2026 Page 6 California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) In order to analyze any potential impacts resulting from the propane storage and dispensing, a CEQA checklist (Initial Study) was prepared. At the time this CUP application was submitted, the applicant also included a request for a hydrogen fueling station, which was later removed. The initial study is revised from the original version that was submitted for public review. Of note, the checklist addressed air quality, hazardous materials, noise, and traffic. Findings of no impact or less than significant impact for these areas of concern were largely due to fact that the site is an existing developed industrial property in an industrial area. Development of the site is limited to the propane tank and dispensing equipment with a canopy, which is heavily regulated through the building permit process. Additionally, the tank is only proposed to be filled biweekly, adding only one truck trip to the site every two weeks. Thus, additional air quality, hazards, noise and traffic issues are not anticipated. The Initial Study for the original request was posted from October 3rd, 2025 to November 3rd, 2025. However, removal of the hydrogen fueling station substantially changed the scope of the project and a new initial study was posted. The City established a 38-day public review and comment period for the new Initial Study from December 19th, 2025 to January 26th, 2026. During this period, the CEQA checklist (Initial Study or “IS”) was available for review (Attachment 5). A Notice of Intent (NOI) for the ND was posted at City Hall. Staff received one comment after the review period related to monitoring the site during development for any potential archaeological discoveries for tribal cultural resources. The proposed project does not include any development with the potential to disturb subsurface deposits. Negative Declaration Analysis In the CEQA checklist, there are four possible impacts: “Potentially Significant Impact”, “Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation”, “Less Than Significant Impact”, and “No Impact.” Almost all sections on the checklist had checkmarks for “No Impact.” The sections that were identified as “less than significant” were related to Air Quality, Earthquakes, Hazards, Noise, and Public Service. Based on the analyses presented in the attached CEQA checklist, it is concluded that the project: (a) would not have the potential to degrade the quality of th e environment, impact the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause fish or wildlife population to drop 39Page 85 of 304 Planning Commission Meeting of March 16, 2026 Page 7 below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endange red plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory because the site is an already developed/disturbed industrial site and there is no sensitive habitat on site; (b) would not have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable because the project is proposed on an existing industrial site surrounded by other industrial uses. Development of the site is limited to the 30,000 -gallon propane tank and associated dispensing equipment with a canopy. The addition of the tank is not expected to cause any impacts to the environment or to existing services ; and, (c) would not have environmental effects that will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly because the transportation, installation and operation of the propane tank is regulated by Federal, State, and local agencies. These agencies have standard in place for any potential impacts related to air quality, safety, and nuisances. No significant impacts to the environment have been identified as a result of this project. Approval of the project is not expected to have any significant impacts, either long-term or short-term, nor will it cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. As such, it is expected that project implementation would have no impact with respect to these mandatory findings of significance. Because no mitigation is required, the CEQA document converts to a Negative Declaration (ND). Recommended Findings for the CUP and CDP Required Findings for Approval The (previous) Municipal Code contains four required findings for CUPs: 1. The site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape: The project site is an existing developed industrial property meeting minimum lot size requirements for the Medium Manufacturing (MM) zone. The proposed propane tank will meet all required setbacks including separation from existing structures and property lines. There is an existing appropriately-size paved area to allow for the ingress and egress of trucks. 2. The site has sufficient access to streets and highways that are adequate in width and pavement type to carry the quantity and quality of traffic generated by the proposed use: The project location is on the west side of the City where adequate 40Page 86 of 304 Planning Commission Meeting of March 16, 2026 Page 8 truck routes exist along Bay Marina Drive, Civic Center Drive, and Tidelands Avenue. Interstate 5 is directly accessible from these streets. In addition, the site has access from West 19th Street for ingress and egress of truck traffic. The addition of the propane tank will only result in one additional truck trip every other week to fill the tank. 3. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting properties: The proposed project is an industrial use consistent with the Medium Manufacturing (MM) zone description in the General Plan and will be subject to conditions of approval that ensure safe operation of the facility. Adjacent and abutting properties are occupied by similar industrial and manufacturing uses. As a condition of approval, the project is required to adhere to truck routes and maintain a screening fence. The project is also required to conform to all development standards and design guidelines of the MM zone. 4. The proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience or welfare: The project facilitates the storage of LPG, a cleaner-burning fuel than conventional gasoline or diesel, expanding alternative fuel options. The use is consistent with the MM zone description, which is intended for uses in areas in which activities involve some degree of noise, vibration, air pollution, radiation, glare phenomena, and/or fire and explosive hazards. In addition, projects in the Coastal Zone require two conditions related to CDPs: 1. The granting of said Coastal Development Permit will be consistent with all other plans and ordinances of the City of National City: The proposed use is permitted, subject to a CUP, by the Land Use Code, which is consistent with the General Plan. As discussed in the staff report, the project is consistent with policies in the Land Use Element and Safety Element of the General Plan. 2. The granting of said Coastal Development Permit will be consistent with and implements the Certified Local Coastal Program: The project is located in an area generally exempt from a Coastal Development Permit; involves a gas storage and distribution use, which is conditionally allowed in the MM zone; and will not prohibit coastal access or obstruct views. 41Page 87 of 304 Planning Commission Meeting of March 16, 2026 Page 9 Furthermore, a finding has been included in the draft resolution with regard to compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the certification of the Negative Declaration. The draft resolution for certifying the ND and approval of the CUP and CDP includes the following finding for CEQA: 1. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act; The City conducted an Environmental Initial Study that determined the proposed project would not have a potentially significant environmental impact and qualifies for a Negative Declaration per Section 15071 of the CEQA Guidelines. Optional Findings for Denial The following finding recommended should the Planning Commission consider the denial of the CUP: 1. The proposed propane tank is not deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience and welfare, because the availability of propane is already established within the community and storage of additional propane is not needed. 2. Granting the permit would 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 project would result in a significantly larger quantity of hazardous materials on site than would typically be in the MM zone, thereby increasing potential risk to properties in the vicinity. One additional finding is recommended should the Planning Commission consider the denial of the CDP: 3. The granting of said Coastal Development Permit is inconsistent with applicable plans and ordinances within the City of National City because it is not deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience and welfare and may 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. 42Page 88 of 304 Planning Commission Meeting of March 16, 2026 Page 10 Department Comments and Conditions of Approval Comments were received from the Building Division and Fire Department. The Building Division provided comments related to conformance with applicable building and fire codes and additional comments related to the remediat ion, which are included as a condition of approval. The Fire Department provided comments related to required access and the design of fire-suppression equipment. Specialized equipment in the event of fire is also required due the presence of hazardous mat erials on site. The Planning Division has also included comments related to development standards, truck routes, screening, and monitoring. All comments have been incorporated as conditions of approval as well as general conditions related to CUPs and CDPs and can be found in the attached draft resolution for approval. Summary The proposed project is an industrial use at an existing industrial site. Development of the site includes the installation of a 30,000-gallon above ground horizontal propane tank with associated dispensing equipment and a canopy. The primary use of the site, industrial gas warehouse and retail sales, is a use that would be permitted by right in the absence of the propane storage and dispensing. The project was analyzed for any potential impacts resulting from the propane storage and dispensing as required by CEQA and due to the absence of impacts, a Negative Declaration was drafted. Conditions of approval are included to ensure the project implements all relevant federal, state, and local requirements for operation of the propane tank and dispensing equipment.

At a duly advertised public hearing held on March 16, 2026, at which time oral and documentary evidence was presented; and, WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the Planning Commission conside red the staff report contained in Case File No. 2025-26 CUP CDP 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 req uired 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 March 16, 2026, support the following findings: 1. The proposed propane tank is not deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience and welfare, because the availability of propane is already established within the community and storage of additional propane is not needed. 2. Granting the permit would 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 project would result in a significantly larger quantity of hazardous materials on site than would typically be in the MM zone, thereby increasing potential risk to properties in the vicinity. 54Page 100 of 304 3. Based on the above findings, the granting of said Coastal Development Permit is inconsistent with applicable plans and ordinances within the City of National City because it is not deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience and welfare and may 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. 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 an appeal in writing is filed with the City Clerk.

The business will located at 2100 Haffley Avenue which is in the Medium Manufacturing zone and Coastal Zone. The property is an 88,880 square-foot industrial site, with an existing 24,000 square-foot warehouse building. The remaining area is a paved outdoor loading yard. A total of 14 employees will work at the site, with varying shifts to support business operations. The business will operate during regular business hours. The site currently has two entrances located off of Haffley Avenue. One leads directly to employee/customer parking, while the second entrance provides access directly to yard area. Development of the site includes the addition of an above ground 30,000-gallon horizontal propane tank with associated dispensing equipment. Propane will be delivered via commercial propane transport trucks from regional suppliers and transported directly to the on-site 30,000 gallon storage tank. Propane will be dispensed for retail customers, filling five gallon to twenty-five gallon tanks as needed for customers. Due to the hazardous nature of the materials, an Emergency Disaster Response Plan (EDRP) will be developed and implemented to address the hazardous materials on site. The Medium Manufacturing zone requires a Conditional Use Permit for bulk liquified petroleum gas storage. The Initial Study has been prepared for that portion of the project only. ATTACHMENT 5 59Page 105 of 304 Initial Study - Page 2 of 22 7.SURROUNDING LAND USES AND SETTING: The site is located in the City’s industrial area which encompasses a majority of the properties in the Coastal Zone, west of Interstate 5. All surrounding properties are industrial and located within the same Medium Manufacturing (MM)zoning designation. To the north, the property is a wood treatment facility. Located south of the project site is a metal fabrication business and the applicant’s (WestAir) existing gas retail business, which will remain in full operation. Directly abutting the property to the west are Railway tracks operated by Burling Northern Santa Fe (BNSF). The site is accessed from the east, off of Haffley Avenue. Across Haffley is a rental car overflow site. Directly east of Interstate 5 is the City’s Westside Specific Plan Area, a quarter-mile away from the site. The nearest school, Kimball Elementary, is located approximately half a mile from the site. Also within the vicinity of the site is the Unified Port of San Diego, National City Marine Terminal, and Naval Base San Diego. 8.OTHER AGENCIES WHOSE APPROVAL MAY BE REQUIRED (AND PERMITS NEEDED): San Diego County Air Pollution Control District (Air Quality Permit for above-ground storage tanks) ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED: The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a “Potentially Significant Impact” or is “Potentially Significant Unless Mitigated,” as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. Aesthetics Agriculture and Forestry Resources Air Quality Biological Resources Cultural Resources Geology / Soils Greenhouse Gas Emissions Hazards & Hazardous Materials Hydrology / Water Quality Land Use / Planning Mineral Resources Noise Population / Housing Public Services Recreation Transportation / Traffic Utilities / Service Systems Mandatory Findings of Significance 60Page 106 of 304 Initial Study - Page 3 of 22 DETERMINATION: (To be completed by the Lead Agency) On the basis of this Initial Evaluation: I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s) on the environment, but at least one effect (1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and (2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets, if the effect is a “potentially significant impact” or is “potentially significant unless mitigated.” An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effect that remains to be addressed. Signature Date December 17, 2025 Printed Name: Sophia Depew Title: Assistant Planner 61Page 107 of 304 Initial Study - Page 4 of 22 EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except “No Impact” answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A “No Impact” answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to the project. A “No Impact” answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards. 2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved. Answers should address off-site as well as on-site, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. 3. Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. “Potentially Significant Impact” is appropriate if there is substantial evidence than an effect may be significant. If there are one or more “Potentially Significant Impact” entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4. “Negative Declaration: Less than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporated” applied where the incorporation of a mitigation measure has reduced an effect from “Potentially Significant Impact” to “Less then Significant Impact”. The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level. 5. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). 6. Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g. general plans, zoning ordinances). References to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. 7. Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8. This in only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project’s environmental effects in whichever format is selected. 9. The explanation of each issue should identify: a) The significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and b) The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance. 62Page 108 of 304 Initial Study - Page 5 of 22 ISSUES with Supporting Documentation & Sources I – AESTHETICS - Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? (Sources: 1, 2, 3)x b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings? (Sources: 1, 2, 3)x d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime Views in the area? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x The project site is an existing industrial lot and is surrounded by existing developed or disturbed areas. Although the San Diego Bay is located within a quarter-mile of the project site, there will be a no impact to the scenic vista because the site is already developed and surrounded by other industrial development. The addition of the proposed propane tank will be required to follow the development standards in the code, including maximum height. Industrial uses taking place outdoors also require a six-foot screening fence. The applicant is taking over a previously unoccupied space, which will allow for better upkeep of the property. There are no other scenic vistas or resources in the area that would be affected by the project. The existing visual character is low due to the existing industrial uses surround the site. Any proposed development is required to meet the lighting standards in the Chapter 18.60 of the National City Municipal Code (“Code”), which regulates light and glare. Additionally, the existing development site already has lighting on site and no lighting is proposed at this time. 63Page 109 of 304 Initial Study - Page 6 of 22 II – AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY RESOURCES In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation & Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Dept. of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. In determining whether impacts to forest resources, including timberland, are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to information compiled by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection regarding the state’s inventory of forest land, including the Forest and Range Assessment Project and the Forest Legacy Assessment project; and forest carbon measurement methodology provided in Forest Protocols adopted by the California Air Resources Board. Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non- agricultural use? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section 51104(g))? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x e) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x The City of National City does not contain farmland or agricultural resources, forest land, nor any land zoned for agricultural use. As such, approval of this project will have no impact on such lands or resources. 64Page 110 of 304 Initial Study - Page 7 of 22 III – AIR QUALITY Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations. Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? (Sources: 1, 2, 3,7,21)x b)Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard? (Sources: 1, 2, 3,4) x c)Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? (Sources: 1, 2, 3,7,20)x d)Result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people? (Sources: 1, 2, 3,7) x The City does not have any applicable air quality plan or standards that would apply in this case. Air quality is under the purview of the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District. The County of San Diego and National City are in attainment for all California Clean Air Act (CCAA) pollutants with the exception of ozone. Approval of this project will not conflict with or obstruct the implementation of the San Diego County Regional Air Quality Strategy (RAQS) to manage air quality in our region. The project will obtain permits from the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District that ensures the project is in line with the goals in the RAQS. The closest residences are located within a quarter-mile and Kimball Elementary is located approximately a half-mile from the project site. Since the site is already developed, construction is limited to the addition of the propane tank. SDAPCD also has adopted Rule 55 to limit the impacts of particulate matter during construction activities. Due to the limited scope of the project, construction and operation will have less than significant impact related to exposing sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations or resulting in other emission (odors) that would adversely affect a substantial number of people. IV – BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? (Sources: 6) x b)Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, and regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or US Fish and Wildlife Service? x 65Page 111 of 304 Initial Study - Page 8 of 22 (Sources:6) c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? (Sources: 6) x d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? (Sources: 6) x e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance? (Sources: 1) x f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? (Sources: 1) x The project site was previously developed and utilized as an industrial site. The site contains no native or non- native vegetation. Also, no jurisdictional wetlands, other sensitive habitat, or sensitive species are located on the property; and data provided by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service indicate the proposed project site contains no jurisdictional wetlands or jurisdictional waters of U.S. or state-defined streambeds. The project site is located completely within an urbanized area, surrounded by development and contains no sensitive habitats or biological resources that are protected by local policies or ordinances. There are also no adopted habitat conservation plans within the City of National City. Therefore, the proposed development would have no impact. V – CULTURAL RESOURCES Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in Section 15064.5? (Sources: 1, 3) x b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to 15064.5? (Sources: 1, 3) x d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries? (Sources: 1, 3) x The project is a completely developed site. No historical or archaeological resources as defined in Section 15064.5 are known to exist on the proposed project site. There is one recorded historical site (Santa Fe Depot) on the National Registrar located within a half-mile of the project site. However, the proposed project will not cause a substantial adverse change to the nearby historical site. Any construction would occur in an area currently comprised of impermeable (e.g. concrete, asphalt) material. No grading is proposed. Additionally, the already developed nature of the area suggests that no impacts to archaeological resources are anticipated. As such, there is a relatively low probability of disturbing any human remains and therefore, no impact. In the event of the accidental discovery or recognition of any 66Page 112 of 304 Initial Study - Page 9 of 22 human remains during construction, the applicant shall take all appropriate steps as required by relevant federal, state, and local laws, including California Health and Safety Code 7050.5. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in no impact to cultural resources. V – Energy Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project construction or operation? (Sources: 1, 3, , 9, 13) x b) Conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency? (Sources: 1, 3, 4, 9, 13,15) x The project site is located in an area designated for industrial use. The facility will be served by existing electrical and gas infrastructure. The storage facility is not anticipated to increase demand on the electrical grid or natural gas lines beyond the baseline consumption for lighting, security, and minor office use. Construction of the LPG above ground tank will require the use of energy to power heavy equipment, transport materials, and install the storage tank and dispensing equipment. Energy-consuming equipment would include construction vehicles, cranes, welders, and other machinery. Construction is temporary, and the energy consumption from these activities is not considered wasteful or inefficient, as standard construction methods will be used. Energy efficiency will be maximized through proper maintenance of equipment and efficient route planning for material transport. Energy consumption during facility operation would be associated with two main components: • Stationary energy use: This includes electricity for facility lighting, security systems, minor office equipment, and the operation of pumps and compressors needed for fuel storage and dispensing. • Fuel transport: The stored LPG will be transported to and from the site. Transportation energy use is primarily a function of delivery vehicle trips, which will be managed for efficiency based on customer demand. Overall, the project's operational energy consumption would be minimal and is not considered wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary. Impacts would be less than significant. At the local level, the Regional Energy Strategy (RES) serves as the energy policy blueprint for the San Diego region through 2050. It established long term goals to support alternative fueling infrastructure throughout the region. The project facilitates the storage of LPG, a cleaner -burning fuel than conventional gasoline or diesel. The project would facilitate the expansion of alternative fuel options. Therefore, there would be no impact. VI – GEOLOGY AND SOILS Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving: i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other x 67Page 113 of 304 Initial Study - Page 10 of 22 substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42. (Sources: 1, 8) ii) Strong seismic ground shaking? (Sources:1, 8) x iii) Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? (Sources: 1, 8) x iv) Landslides? (Sources: 1,8) x b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? (Sources: 1, 2, 8) x c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse? (Sources: 1, 8) x d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial risks to life or property? (Sources: 1, 8) x e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative waste water disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of waste water? (Sources:1, 8) x e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative waste water disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of waste water? (Sources: 1, 8) x California Geological Survey information from the California Department of Conservation Fault Activity Map indicates that the site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone, and there are no known active or potentially active faults that intercept the project site; therefore, the potential for ground rupture at this site is considered low. The nearest active fault to the site is the Rose Canyon Fault, located over two miles off the coast. Accordingly, the site is not considered to possess a significantly greater seismic risk than that of the surrounding area in general. The site is not within an area susceptible to landslides and not within a fault zone, slide prone area or an area susceptible to liquefaction per the General Plan Safety Element; therefore there is no impact or increased exposure to landslides due to the proposed project. It should be recognized that Southern California is an area that is subject to some degree of seismic risk and that it is generally not considered economically feasible nor technologically practical to build structures that are totally resistant to earthquake-related hazards. Construction in accordance with the minimum requirements of the Uniform Building Code should minimize damage due to seismic events. Due to the number and nature of the active and non-active fault lines within the southern California region, it cannot be known when earthquakes will occur; therefore, there is a less than significant impact. Any future design and construction would require conformance with City’s stormwater ordinance and grading regulations. Therefore, there is no impact or increased substantial erosion due to the proposed project. The existing developed parcels are connected to traditional sewer laterals, which connect with the existing sewer system that serves the City. Any future design and construction would connect to the same system. There would be no use of septic tanks or alternative waste water disposal systems; therefore, no impact. 68Page 114 of 304 Initial Study - Page 11 of 22 VII – GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment? (Sources: 1, 9, 1021) x b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases? (Sources: 1, 9, 10) x GHG emissions contribute, on a cumulative basis, to the significant adverse environmental impacts of global climate change. No single project could generate enough GHG emissions to noticeably change the global average temperature. The combination of GHG emissions from past, present, and future projects contributes substantially to the phenomenon of global climate change and its associated environmental impacts and as such is addressed only as a cumulative impact. Any increase to GHG would occur over a short construction duration and would consist primarily of emissions from equipment exhaust. There would also be long-term regional emissions associated with project-related new vehicular trips and indirect source emissions, such as energy usage. The primary use of the site, industrial gas warehouse and retail sales, is a use that would be permitted by right in the absence of the bulk propane storage. Propane will be delivered via commercial propane transport trucks from regional suppliers on a biweekly basis (twice a month),, therefore no impact. The project facilitates the storage of LPG, a cleaner-burning fuel than conventional gasoline or diesel, expanding alternative fuel options. Therefore, there would be no impact. California has adopted several policies and regulations for the purpose of reducing GHG emissions. In April 2015, Executive Order B-30-15 was signed, which established a new GHG emissions reduction target of 40% below 1990 levels by 2030. In addition, in 2024 the City of National City adopted its Climate Action Plan and associated targets to reduce GHG emissions by 40 percent below 2018 levels by 2030 and 80 percent of 2018 levels by 2050. Some of the primary provisions of the Climate Action Plan are to promote clean transportation, water conservation, energy efficiency, and waste reduction strategies. The proposed project would not conflict with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of GHG emissions, as contained in the Climate Action Plan. Based on the above, therefore no impact. VIII – HAZARDS & HAZARDOUS MATERIALS Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials? (Sources: 1, 3, 7, 11, 14) x b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment? (Sources: 1, 3,7, 11, 14) x c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter x 69Page 115 of 304 Initial Study - Page 12 of 22 mile of an existing or proposed school? (Sources: 1) d)Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? (Sources: 5) x e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? (Sources: 1) x f) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? (Sources: 1) x g) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wildlands? (Sources: 1) x The routine transport, use, and disposal of the hazardous materials on site are regulated by various federal, state, and local requirements to minimize any potential impacts to the public and the environment. The US Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration regulates the transport of hazardous materials. Propane will be delivered via commercial propane transport trucks from regional suppliers and transported directly to the on-site 30,000 gallon storage tank. All propane deliveries are conducted with trained personnel present, following NFPA protocols. Use of the hazardous materials on site involves the dispensing of propane, which requires permits through the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District and the National City Building Division and Fire Department. Propane will be dispensed to retail customers, filling five-gallon to twenty-five gallon tanks. There are specialized procedures for the disposal of hazardous gases within the State of California. Therefore, less than significant impact. Due to the type of use and the presence of hazardous material on site, the applicant will be required to submit detailed plans to the National City Fire Department prior to construction and operation of the site. The plans will include an Emergency Disaster Response Plan, Cost Recovery Plan, scheduled training operations, and compliance with all applicable Fire Codes. Fire Sprinkler Systems, Fire Alarm Systems, Early Warning Gas Detection Systems, and Emergency Shut Offs are required for the project. In addition to the National City Fire Department, the project is subject to multiple federal, state, and local associations that explicitly regulate the safety and handling of hazardous materials, such as the National Fire Protection Association, Compressed Gas Association, American Propane Institute, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Operations related to the storage and dispensing of propane will follow proper safety and operation protocols from all relevant federal, state, and local requirements. Therefore, there will not be any reasonably foreseeable upset or accident condition involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment. The project is located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 per the State Water Resources Control Board Geo Tracker. The site was previously operated by Univar, a global chemical and ingredients distributor. Potential contaminates of concern on site include 1,1,1-Trichloroethane (TCA), 1,4-Dioxane, Dichloroethane (EDC), Tetrachloroethylene (PCE), and Trichloroethylene (TCE). As a result, installation of an air sparge and soil vapor extraction wells occurred in March of 2022. Environmental consultants for the remediation on site indicated the proposed above ground propane tank is not incompatible with the existing vapor recovery and that no combustible gas is emitted from the vapor recovery unit site. Any potential hazardous concentrations of VOC in the soils should have no negative impact on the bearing capacities of the soils in their current state. During installation of the above ground tank, the 70Page 116 of 304 Initial Study - Page 13 of 22 applicant shall be responsible for coordinating with the consultants so that any soil spoils generated from the installation of the propane tank that are not suitable to be used to backfill onsite will be tested and profiled to confirm any hazardous concentrations and a geotechnical evaluation of the soils shall be completed prior to reuse onsite, should any soils be excavated and reused as backfill. Therefore, less than significant impact. The site is not located within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school, therefore no impact. There are no airports or airstrips in the vicinity. the project would not interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan and the project is not adjacent to any wildlands or land subject to wildland fires; therefore there would not be any significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildfires. Therefore, there is no impact. IX – HYDROLOGY / WATER QUALITY Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements or otherwise substantially degrade surface or ground water quality? (Sources: 1) x b) Substantially decrease groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that the project may impede sustainable groundwater management of the basin? (Sources: 1) x c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river or through the addition of impervious surfaces, in a manner which would: (Sources: 1, 3, 6) i) result in a substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site; x ii) substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or offsite; x iii) create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff; or x iv) impede or redirect flood flows? x d) In flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zones, risk release of pollutants due to project inundation? (Sources: 1, 3) x e) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan? (Sources: 1) x The project area is comprised of an existing developed industrial site. The project will be subject to water quality and discharge requirements through the City’s Jurisdictional Runoff Management Plan (JRMP). Future development will be required for compliance with all storm water handling, storage, drainage, and hydromodification regulations. Any construction will follow best management practices so not to decrease groundwater supplies, or alter 71Page 117 of 304 Initial Study - Page 14 of 22 drainage patterns that would result in substantial erosion, increase surface runoff resulting in flooding, contribute to runoff that would exceed stormwater drainage, or impede flood flows. The property is not located within a flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zones, therefore, no impact. Additionally, the project is not subject to any water quality control plans or sustainable groundwater management plans, therefore no impact. X – LAND USE AND PLANNING Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Physically divide an established community? (Sources: 1, 2, 3)x b)Cause a significant environmental impact due to a conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x The site is surrounded by industrial uses (storage, warehouse, manufacturing, etc.). No residential zones are nearby; therefore, no impact. The project is a conditionally permitted use in a zone that allows a range of industrial and commercial uses, which is consistent with both the General Plan, Local Coastal Plan, and the Land Use Code; therefore, there would be no conflict with said plans. XI – MINERAL RESOURCES Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the state? (Sources: 1) x b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally-important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan? (Sources: 1) x The project site is located completely within an urbanized area and surrounded by development. The site contains no known mineral resources on the proposed project site or delineated on a local plan for the site; therefore, there is no impact to mineral resources. XII – NOISE Would the project result in: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a)Generation of a substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x 72Page 118 of 304 Initial Study - Page 15 of 22 b) Generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x c) For a project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? (Sources: 1) x The surrounding area is industrial and isn’t near any residentially-zoned properties, so any noise associated with the proposed project is not expected to exceed the existing ambient noise in this area. The transport trucks for propane delivery are not expected to exceed two trips per month. Propane dispensing shall only occur during operating hours (8am-5pm) and air compressor equipment will be enclosed and sound-dampened per manufacturer specifications. Furthermore, the project is subject to the limitations contained in the City’s Noise Ordinance; therefore, less than significant impact. The associated construction on the project site would create temporary noise impacts. Modern construction equipment, properly used and maintained, should not exceed the noise limits contained in the City’s Noise Ordinance. All noise generated by the project would be required to comply with the City’s Noise Ordinance and be limited to specific hours of operation. No impact from the project would occur. The proposed project site is not located within an airport land use plan or within two miles of a public use airport or private airstrip; therefore, there is no impact to those people working on the project site. XIII – POPULATION AND HOUSING Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Induce substantial unplanned population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x b) Displace substantial numbers of existing people or housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x The project is an industrial use and would replace an existing industrial use, therefore there would be no impact to population or housing in the area. Housing is not a permitted use west of the Interstate 5. XIV – PUBLIC SERVICES Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for any of the public services: 73Page 119 of 304 Initial Study - Page 16 of 22 Fire protection? (Sources: 1, 3,11) x Police protection? (Sources: 1, 3) x Schools? (Sources: 1, 3) x Parks? (Sources: 1, 3) x Other public facilities? (Sources: 1, 3) x Due to the type of use and the presence of hazardous material on site, the applicant will be required to submit detailed plans to the National City Fire Department prior to construction and operation of the site. The plans will include an Emergency Disaster Response Plan, Cost Recovery Plan, scheduled training operations, and compliance with all applicable fire codes for each use. Joint pre-incident walkthroughs with the Fire Department are required prior to occupancy and annually. Specialized equipment for emergency response shall be provided specifically for propane incidents. The facility must also support Fire Department training, including full-scale hazardous materials scenarios and unique firefighting tools or equipment; therefore, there is a less than significant impact with regard to Fire protection. The proposed project would not result in adverse impacts to public services. Any redevelopment would replace existing uses and not have a significant effect on existing volumes of calls for service The project site is currently and will continue to be served by the National City Fire and Police Department. The closest Fire Station is approximately 1.3 miles away on East 16th Street, as is the Police Station at 12th Street and National City Boulevard. Typical response time for this area would not be adversely impacted, as plans do not involve changes to public streets adjacent to the site and since plans include retaining emergency access throughout the project area; therefore, there is no impact. Schools would not be impacted, as there is no increase in population that would add to school attendance, thus no impact. Any increase to park usage would likely occur from employees of the business, however the total number of employees is not expected to exceed 14, thus no impact. XV – RECREATION Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x Pepper Park, located on the Sweetwater Channel waterfront, is the only park/recreational facility in the vicinity. The park is located within one mile of the project site. The type of development proposed (industrial) is not expected to increase use of the park. Any increase to park usage would likely occur from employees of the 74Page 120 of 304 Initial Study - Page 17 of 22 business, however the total number of employees is not expected to exceed 14. Additionally, Pepper Park is not a City park (it is owned and operated by the San Diego Unified Port District). Furthermore, Pepper Park is undergoing major renovations to accommodate more visitors. Therefore, no impact. XVI – TRANSPORTATION Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a)Conflict with a program, plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x b)Conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines § 15064.3, subdivision (b)? (Sources: 1, 2, 3,17,18,19)x c)Substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? (Sources: 1, 2, 3) x d) Result in inadequate emergency access? (Sources: 1, 2, 3)x Potential development would not conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs regarding public transit, bicycle, or pedestrian facilities, or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of such facilities, as there are no such activities existing or planned in this area. National City has designated trucking routes originating mainly from the National City Marine Terminal and linking to regional highways. The truck routes through National City are either classified as “primary” or “alternate” routes. Primary routes are generally described as the most direct routes to freeways and are used for regional delivery. Alternate routes are those roads used to move trucks through the City to local destinations. The closest primary routes are Tidelands Avenue and Bay Marina Drive. All trucks shall be required to follow appropriate ruck routes as identified in the National City General Plan Transportation Element, therefore, no impact. The site is an already-developed industrial property and has been operated as a warehouse, a permitted use by right. While heavy-duty trucks are not typically included in VMT analysis, the number of trucks visiting the site to fill the propane tank is two trips per month. With regard to Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT), the project would screen out of VMT analysis related to CEQA, as the potential tra ffic generated by the proposed use is not expected to substantially increase VMT when compared to the existing use of the site and is well below the threshold for additional analysis. While the City does not have any adopted plans which provide thresholds of significance for VMT as it relates to CEQA, the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) provides a guide for vehicular traffic generation rates for the San Diego Region and the Institute for Transportation Engineers (ITE) provides region specific thresholds of significance for VMT as follows: Projects Inconsistent with General Plan or Community Plan Average Daily Trips Level of Analysis 0-500 VMT Analysis Not Needed/VMT Impacts Presumed Less Than Significant 500 and Greater VMT Analysis Recommended 75Page 121 of 304 Initial Study - Page 18 of 22 Projects Consistent with General Plan or Community Plan Average Daily Trips Level of Analysis 0-1,000 VMT Analysis Not Needed/VMT Impacts Presumed Less Than Significant 1,000 and Greater VMT Analysis Recommended SANDAG trip generation rates guide indicates warehouses generate approximately 5 trips/1,000 square feet and/or 60 trips/acre per day. Using this calculation, the 88,880 square-foot industrial site would generate approximately 122 trips per day, including trips generated by trucks filling the p ropane tank. The average daily trip rate is within the 0-500 range for projects inconsistent with the General Plan and the 0-1,000 range for projects consistent with the General Plan that are presumed to have a less than significant VMT impact. Additionally, land use projects within one-half mile of major transit stop or high quality transit corridor should be presumed to cause a less than significant transportation impact. The project site is located within one-half mile of the 24th Street Transit Center, qualifying transit, therefore no impact. The site currently has two entrances located off of Haffley Avenue. One leads directly to employee/customer parking, while the second entrance provides access directly to yard area. The site already utilized as an industrial property and is surrounded by similar uses. There are no proposed changes to the site at this time that would increase hazards due to a geometric design feature, or incompatible uses, therefore no impact. No change in road or site design is proposed which would cause a safety risk or hinder emergency access. On site development shall be required to maintain all emergency routes, therefore, no impact. XVI – Tribal Cultural Resources Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a)Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource, defined in Public Resources Code § 21074 as either a site, feature, place, cultural landscape that is geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of the landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native American tribe, and that is: (Sources: 1) x i)Listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, or in a local register of historical resources as defined in Public Resources Code section 5020.1(k), or (Sources: 1) x ii)A resource determined by the lead agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code § 5024.1. In applying the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resource Code § 5024.1, the lead agency shall consider the significance of the resource to a California Native American tribe (Sources: 1) x 76Page 122 of 304 Initial Study - Page 19 of 22 The project will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource, defined in Public Resources Code § 21074 as either a site, feature, place, cultural landscape that is geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of the landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native American tribe because the site is neither listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, or in a local register of historical resources, and the site is not considered a resource or potentially a resource to a California Native American tribe; therefore, no impact. XVII – UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS Would the project: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a)Require or result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded water, wastewater treatment or storm water drainage, electric power, natural gas, or telecommunications facilities, the construction or relocation of which could cause significant environmental effects? (Sources: 1, 2) x b)Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project and reasonably foreseeable future development during normal, dry and multiple dry years? (Sources: 1,2) x c) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project’s projected demand in addition to the provider’s existing commitments? (Sources: 1, 2) x d)Generate solid waste in excess of state or local standards, or in excess of the capacity of local infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment of solid waste reduction goals? (Sources: 1, 2, 912) x e) Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste? (Sources: 1, 2, 9)x The proposed project is located within an urbanized area and served by existing water facilities. The proposed project would be designed and constructed using Best Management Practices (BMPs) to appropriately handle wastewater and not exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board. Sweetwater Authority will determine if additional infrastructure, as needed, can be provided. Also, all necessary improvements will be included with project approval and construction will be undertaken in accordance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) regulations; therefore, there would be no impact. The proposed project site will have standard requirements for solid waste. The local waste collection and recycle company, EDCO, has a contract with the City to handle City commercial businesses waste disposal and recycling needs. According to EDCO staff, the company utilizes several landfill sites for the disposal of waste collected in National City, with the most common being Otay Mesa, Sycamore, and Miramar Landfills, with an additional 5, 17 and 6 years of capacity remaining respectively; therefore, there is a less than significant impact. There are two other landfill sites in San Diego County – the Ramona landfill, which is full, and Borrego Springs landfill, which has an additional 30 years capacity remaining. In addition, the proposed project would comply with all federal, state, and local statues and regulations related to solid waste. XVII – WILDFIRE. If located in or near state responsibility areas or lands classified as very high fire Potentially Significant Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Less Than Significant No Impact 77Page 123 of 304 Initial Study - Page 20 of 22 hazard severity zones, would the project: Would the project: Impact Incorporation Impact a)Substantially impair an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? (Sources: 1,16)x b)Due to slope, prevailing winds, and other factors, exacerbate wildfire risks, and thereby expose project occupants to pollutant concentrations from a wildfire or the uncontrolled spread of a wildfire? (Sources: 1,16) x c)Require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure (such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines or other utilities) that may exacerbate fire risk or that may result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment? (Sources: 1,16) x d)Expose people or structures to significant risks, including downslope or downstream flooding or landslides, as a result of runoff, post-fire slope instability, or drainage changes? (Sources: 1,16) x The site is not located in or near state responsibility areas or lands classified as very high fire hazard severity zones, therefore, no impact. XVIII – MANDATORY FINDINGS of SIGNIFICANCE Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant w/ Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? (Sources: 1) x b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? (“Cumulatively considerable” means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)? (Sources: 1) x c) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? (Sources: 1) x Discussion: No significant impacts to the environment as a result of this project have been identified. Approval of the project is not expected to have any significant impacts, either long-term or short-term, nor will it cause substantial adverse effect on human beings, either directly or indirectly. 78Page 124 of 304 Initial Study - Page 21 of 22 REFERENCE SOURCES: Reference # Document Title Available for Review at: 1 National City General Plan https://www.nationalcityca.gov/g overnment/community- development/planning/general- plan 2 City of National City Municipal Code https://library.municode.com/ca/ national_city/codes/code_of_ordi nances?nodeId=CD_ORD_TIT1 8ZO 3 Case File 2025-26 IS, Initial Study Documents National City Planning Division 4 SANDAG www.sandag.org 5 State Water Resource Control Board Geo Tracker https://geotracker.waterboards.ca .gov/search 6 US Fish and Wildlife Wetland Mapper System https://www.fws.gov/wetlands/d ata/mapper.html 7 San Diego County Air Pollution Control District https://www.sdapcd.org/content/ sdapcd/permits/equipment- types/ast.html 8 California Department of Conservation http://maps.conservation.ca.gov/ cgs/fam/ 9 City of National City Climate Action Plan https://www.nationalcityca.gov/h ome/showpublisheddocument/34 854/638871135944330000 10 Environmental Protection Agency https://www.epa.gov/energy/gree nhouse-gas-equivalencies- calculator 11 Comments received from National City Fire Department National City Planning Division 12 CalRecycle https://www2.calrecycle.ca.gov/ SolidWaste/Site/Search 13 California Energy Commission https://www.energy.ca.gov/sites/ default/files/2025-07/CEC-400- 2025-010-F_0.pdf 14 US Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials https://www.phmsa.dot.gov/stan dards- rulemaking/hazmat/hazardous- materials-regulations 15 SANDAG Regional Energy Strategy https://www.sandag.org/- /media/SANDAG/Documents/P DF/projects-and- programs/environment/regional- 79Page 125 of 304 Initial Study - Page 22 of 22 energy-planning/regional- energy-strategy-2014-06-01.pdf 16 State Responsibility Area https://gis.data.cnra.ca.gov/apps/ CALFIRE-Forestry::state- responsibility-area-sra- viewer/explore 17 SANDAG’s (Not So) Brief Guide of Vehicular Traffic Generation Rates for the San Diego Region https://www.sandiegocounty.gov /content/dam/sdc/pds/ceqa/Lehm anTPM/38%20Appendix%20T9 _SANDAG%20Trip%20Generat ion%20Rates.pdf 18 Institute of Transpiration Engineers Guidelines for Transportation Impact Studies in the San Diego Region https://static1.squarespace.com/st atic/5ab6b8a33e2d09b08935bcb 1/t/5d0c2f9ce5c55900014494ee/ 1561079734160/Guidelines+for+ TIS+in+the+San+Diego+Region +-+May+2019.pdf 19 Office of Planning and Research Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA https://lci.ca.gov/docs/20180416- 743_Technical_Advisory_4.16.1 8.pdf 20 SDAPCD Rule 55 https://www.sdapcd.org/content/ dam/sdapcd/documents/rules/cur rent-rules/Rule-55.pdf 21 2022 Regional Air Quality Strategy (RAQS) https://www.sdapcd.org/content/ dam/sdapcd/documents/grants/pl anning/Att.%20A%20- %202022%20RAQS.pdf 80Page 126 of 304 Memo www.arcadis.com Arcadis U.S., Inc., 400 Capitol Mall, 9th Floor, Sacramento, CA, 702 485 6000 1/1 haffley memo SUBJECT 2100 Haffley Ave Propane Tank Permitting TO Jay-Rob Josafat WestAir Gases & Equipment, Inc DATE August 28, 2025 OUR REF 30249288 COPIES TO Michelle Stayrook, Univar Solutions, USA NAME Brian Prowd, P.E. 916.786.3554, Brian.Prowd@arcadis.com As the environmental consultant for the remediation site located at the address of 2100 Haffley Avenue, National City, CA, I certify the following: a.

Date: Tuesday, April 7, 2026 Approved by: Alejandro Hernandez, Acting City Manager SUBJECT: Notice of Decision – Planning Commission Approval of a Planned Development (PD) Permit for Reduced Rear Yard Setbacks Within an Approved 10-Lot Subdivision Located at 3410 Valley Road. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Approval of a Planned Development (PD) Request for Reduced Rear Yard Setbacks Within the 10-Lot Subdivision, Subject to the Recommended Conditions in the Attached Planning Commission Resolution No. 2026-04, and a Determination that the Project is Exempt from CEQA. The Project is Consistent with the General Plan and Meets all Applicable Findings for a PD Request. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION: The Planning Commission recommended approval of the Planned Development permit, with modified conditions, by unanimous vote of those present at a public hearing conducted on March 16, 2026. One seat on the Planning Commission is currently vacant and Commissioner Valenzuela was absent. The motion to recommend approval of the project included a request for an additional condition of approval related to the provision of a six-foot high privacy fence or wall along abutting residential properties. EXPLANATION: The applicant requests modified rear yard setbacks for a previously approved 10-lot subdivision to construct single-family homes and accessory dwelling units (ADUs) on each lot. The development includes 10 single-family residential lots with a private street connecting the development to Plaza Bonita Center Way. The subdivision will also include a biofiltration basin on-site for stormwater management purposes. The bioretention area, private street, and common area have dedicated lots that are separate from the 10 residential lots. The average parcel size is approximately 5,443 square feet in size, although the properties vary in size from 5,005 to 6,667 square feet in size. Due to the shape of the lots and design of the homes, reduced rear yard setbacks of 15 feet are being requested for the development. The standard rear yard setback in the RS-2 zone is 25 feet. At the public hearing, two community members communicated concerns related to the privacy of neighboring residential properties in the unincorporated community of Bonita, part of San Diego County. The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the request with modified conditions related to privacy fencing. Approval was based on the findings in and subject to the Conditions of Approval in the attached resolution. The attached Planning Commission staff report describes the proposal in detail. Page 147 of 304 FINANCIAL STATEMENT: An application fee of $1,500 was paid with the submittal of the subject PD. Fees are anticipated to cover the cost of staff review time and processing the permit. A reduced fee for a conformance review was recommended by staff due to the previous review and approval of the tentative subdivision map associated with the proposed development.

CASE FILE NO. 2025-36 PD APNS: 591-100-27 & 591-100-31 WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of National City considered a Planned Development for reduced rear yard setbacks within a 10-lot subdivision located at 3410 Valley Road. At a duly advertised public hearing held on March 16, 2026, 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. 2025-36 PD 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 March 16, 2026, support the following findings: 1. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan because the proposed subdivision consists of single-family lots, which is a permitted use in the Small Lot Residential (RS-2) zone. The lots comply with the minimum lot area requirement for the zone and the density of the Low Density Residential land use designation. The project will provide for additional homeownership opportunities and the construction of accessory dwelling units, which are promoted by policies in the City’s Housing Element. In addition, modified rear yard setbacks will not substantially alter the character of existing neighborhoods within the City. 2. The proposed project will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare because the proposed subdivision and subsequent construction of single-family homes on the lots will be required to comply with applicable standards of the California Building Code and California Fire Code. The site was previously analyzed for the provision of adequate services when the property was annexed into the City in 2024. 3. The proposed development will comply with the regulations of the Land Use Code because the proposed subdivision includes 10 lots that can be developed with single- family homes. Each lot has adequate building area to construct a residence as well as Page 149 of 304 accessory structures in conformance with the development standards of the zone with the approval of the reduced rear yard setbacks. 4. The proposed development, when considered as a whole, will be beneficial to the community because the proposed development will provide for a new housing subdivision that offers homeownership opportunities and additional accessory dwelling units. The modified setbacks for the development allow for more diversity of housing units within the City. The development will also provide adequate stormwater retention to protect existing wetlands on the site. 5. Any proposed deviations pursuant to this section are appropriate for this location and will result in a more desirable project than would be achieved if designed in strict conformance with the development regulations of the applicable zone because the developer proposes to construct larger, contemporary homes on the 10 lots in the subdivision. Each home is also anticipated to include an attached accessory dwelling unit. The deviation allows for more buildable area on each site to allow for the necessary square footage. 6. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has been determined to be categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to Class 5, Section 15305 (Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations) for which a Notice of Exemption will be filed subsequent to approval of this PD. Class 5 consists of minor alterations in land use limitations in areas with an average slope of less than 20%, which do not result in any changes in land use or density. This class explicitly provides for set back variances. The proposed project is on land with minor topographic changes and the proposed deviation from rear yard setback requirements will not result in any change in project density or the number of parcels in the subdivision. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the application for a Conditional Use Permit is approved subject to the following conditions: General 1. This Planned Development authorizes reduced rear yard setbacks within a 10-lot subdivision located at 3410 Valley Road. Plans submitted for permits associated with this project shall conform to Exhibit A, Case File No. 2025-36 PD, dated 3/3/2026. 2.

Required walls or fences shall be maintained and kept in good condition for the life of the project. Indemnification Agreement The Applicant shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City, its agents, officers, and employees from any and all claims, actions, proceedings, damages, judgments, or costs, including attorney's fees, against the City or its agents, officers, or employees, relating to the issuance of this permit including, but not limited to, any action to attack, set aside, void, challenge, or annul this development approval and any environmental document or decision. The City will promptly notify the Applicant of any claim, action, or proceeding. The City may elect to conduct its own defense, participate in its own defense, or obtain independent legal counsel in defense of any claim related to this indemnification. In the event of such election, the Applicant shall pay all of the costs related thereto, including without limitation reasonable attorney's fees and costs. In the event of a disagreement between the City and Applicant regarding litigation issues, the City shall have the authority to control the litigation and make litigation related decisions, including, but not limited to, settlement or other disposition of the matter. However, the Applicant shall not be required to pay or perform any settlement unless such settlement is approved by the Applicant. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this Resolution be transmitted forthwith to the applicant and to the City Council. Page 151 of 304 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 an appeal in writing is filed with the City Clerk.

Case File No.: 2025-36 PD Location: East side of Plaza Bonita Center Way south of Valley Road Assessor’s Parcel Nos.: 591-100-27 and 591-100-31 Staff report by: David Welch, Principal Planner Applicant: Laurence Tucker Zoning designation: Small Lot Residential (RS-2) Adjacent use and zoning: North: Low-density residential use / County of San Diego (Bonita) East: Low-density residential use / County of San Diego (Bonita) South: Low-density residential use / County of San Diego (Bonita) West: Planned Unit Development (Bella Bonita) / RS-2 Environmental review: Categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to Class 5, Section 15305 (Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations) Staff recommendation: Approve EXHIBIT B Page 153 of 304 Planning Commission Meeting of March 16, 2026 Page 2 Staff Recommendation Staff is recommending approval of the Planned Development (PD) request, subject to the recommended conditions in the attached resolution and a determination that the project is exempt from CEQA. The project is consistent with the General Plan. Executive Summary The applicant requests modified rear yard setbacks for a previously approved 10-lot subdivision to construct single-family homes and accessory dwelling units (ADUs). The development includes 10 single-family residential lots with a private street connecting the development to Plaza Bonita Center Way. The subdivision will also include a biofiltration basin on-site for stormwater management purposes that. The private street and common areas have dedicated lots that are separate from the 10 residential lots. The average parcel size is approximately 5,443 square feet in size, although the properties vary in size from 5,005 to 6,667 square feet in size. Due to the shape of the lots and design of the homes, reduced rear yard setbacks are being requested for the development. Site Characteristics The proposed project is located at 3410 Valley Road approximately one mile east of the intersection of California State Route 54 (SR-54) and Interstate 805 (I-805). The site was annexed into National City in 2024. The site is comprised of a 10-lot subdivision, private street, and a biofiltration basin, totaling approximately 2.5 acres. The properties are zoned as RS-2 and are considered Low-Medium Density Residential on the General Plan Land Use map. There was an existing single- family residence on the site, which was demolished to redevelop the property. The property was annexed into the City on March 4, 2024, with the subdivision approved on September 5, 2023. Proposed Use The applicant proposes to construct an approved 10-lot single family subdivision with reduced rear yard setbacks. The project’s tentative subdivision map and the property’s annexation into the City were previously approved. However, the requested reduction in setbacks was not addressed during the original project review and a separate PD permit has been submitted for this purpose. The applicant is requesting 15-foot rear yard setbacks for the eastern half of the site and 20-foot rear yard setbacks for the western half of the site when a 25-foot rear yard setback is typically required for the RS-2 zone. No other modified standards Page 154 of 304 Planning Commission Meeting of March 16, 2026 Page 3 are requested for this permit and the approved lot configuration was already in conformance with minimum lot area and frontage standards. The table below provides an overview of the subdivision and the requested setbacks. Lot Number Size (square feet) Proposed Use Requested Rear Yard Setback 1 5,017 Single Family Residence 20’ 2 5,005 Single Family Residence 20’ 3 5,035 Single Family Residence 20’ 4 5,065 Single Family Residence 20’ 5 5,050 Single Family Residence 20’ 6 6,485 Single Family Residence 15’ 7 5,979 Single Family Residence 15’ 8 5,078 Single Family Residence 15’ 9 5,045 Single Family Residence 15’ 10 6,667 Single Family Residence 15’ A 20,972 Private Street N/A B 5,934 Biofiltration Basin N/A C 6,667 Open Space (Drainage) N/A Total 106,782 (2.451 acres) Analysis A PD permit may be requested for developments that consist of more than one acre and the purpose is to allow for greater flexibility from the strict application of regulations than would typically be allowed under the variance process. The applicant’s property has characteristics that influenced the subdivision design. There is a stream that flows through the southern portion of the site. In order to protect this wetland, a stormwater retention basis was also needed in close proximity. The private street was also necessary to restrict driveway access from Plaza Bonita Centerway. The applicant was still able to meet minimum lot area for the zone, but the depth of the site resulted in lots that were wider and less deep than typical lots in the City. As a result, the buildable area of the lots is not as large as the applicant needs to construct the desired style of homes for the proposed subdivision, which are intended to be larger, open-floor plan contemporary designs. Page 155 of 304 Planning Commission Meeting of March 16, 2026 Page 4 Section 18.12.130.E.2 of the Land Use Code (LUC) provides for the request of special setbacks (or height) based on design and relation of buildings to each other and the surrounding area. The proposed development is uniquely situated on the edge of National City having been recently annexed. It is surrounded on three sides by rural, large lot development within unincorporated San Diego County. On the west side, the development has frontage along Plaza Bonita Centerway, which is a busy roadway that is used to access the Bonita area and Westfield Plaza Bonita Mall. Unlike most developments in the City, there is very little existing development context for the new subdivision to take design cues from. The site is, therefore, appropriate for the establishment of development patterns that deviate from what is ordinarily found in the RS-2 zone. In this case, the applicant is only requesting deviations in rear yard setbacks while lot area, frontage, height, and other development standards are still maintained. Furthermore, the depth of the new lots is just under 90 feet while most lots in the City have a least 100 feet providing further need for reduced rear yard areas. General Plan This project meets minimum lot area requirements and, therefore, the maximum density of the Low Density Residential land use designation of the General Plan. In addition, the project will provide 10 new residential lots, which will expand homeownership in the City as encouraged by the Housing Element: Policy HE 5.4: Support increased homeownership across all income levels for National City residents. Each home is also expected to be constructed with an accessory dwelling unit, which will provide additional lower cost housing opportunities within the subdivision. Mailing All property owners and occupants within 300 feet are required to be notified of a public hearing for a PD application. Notice of this public hearing was sent to 10 occupants and owners. Department Comments The project was previously routed for review by departments and outside agencies during the review of the tentative subdivision map. No additional comments were received for the PD. Page 156 of 304 Planning Commission Meeting of March 16, 2026 Page 5 Public Comment No public comments were received as of the writing of this staff report. Findings for Approval The Municipal Code contains six required findings for Planned Developments as follows: 1. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan. The proposed subdivision consists of single-family lots, which is a permitted use in the Small Lot Residential (RS-2) zone. The lots comply with the minimum lot area requirement for the zone and the density of the Low-Density Residential land use designation. The project will provide for additional homeownership opportunities and the construction of accessory dwelling units, which are promoted by policies in the City’s Housing Element. In addition, modified rear yard setbacks will not substantially alter the character of existing neighborhoods within the City. 2. The proposed project will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare. The proposed subdivision and subsequent construction of single-family homes on the lots will be required to comply with applicable standards of the California Building Code and California Fire Code. The site was previously analyzed for the provision of adequate services when the property was annexed into the City in 2024. 3. The proposed development will comply with the regulations of the Land Use Code. The proposed subdivision includes 10 lots that can be developed with single-family homes. Each lot has adequate building area to construct a residence as well as accessory structures in conformance with the development standards of the zone with the approval of the reduced rear yard setbacks. 4. The proposed development, when considered as a whole, will be beneficial to the community. Page 157 of 304 Planning Commission Meeting of March 16, 2026 Page 6 The proposed development will provide for a new housing subdivision that offers homeownership opportunities and additional accessory dwelling units. The modified setbacks for the development allow for more diversity of housing units within the City. The development will also provide adequate stormwater retention to protect existing wetlands on the site. 5. Any proposed deviations pursuant to this section are appropriate for this location and will result in a more desirable project than would be achieved if designed in strict conformance with the development regulations of the applicable zone. The developer proposes to construct larger, contemporary homes on the 10 lots in the subdivision. Each home is also anticipated to include an attached accessory dwelling unit. The deviation allows for more buildable area on each site to allow for the necessary square footage. 6. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has been determined to be categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to Class 5, Section 15305 (Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations) for which a Notice of Exemption will be filed subsequent to approval of this PD. Class 5 consists of minor alterations in land use limitations in areas with an average slope of less than 20%, which do not result in any changes in land use or density. This class explicitly provides for set back variances. The proposed project is on land with minor topographic changes and the proposed deviation from rear yard setback requirements will not result in any change in project density or the number of parcels in the subdivision. Conditions of Approval Standard Conditions of Approval related to new development projects are included in the draft resolution. The project was previously subjected to conditions with the approval of the tentative parcel map. Summary The request for modified rear yard setbacks for a previously approved subdivision would address an omission during the initial review process. The requested setbacks would provide for more buildable area on lots that have slightly less depth Page 158 of 304 Planning Commission Meeting of March 16, 2026 Page 7 than most lots in the same zone district. The previous entitlement was reviewed and conditioned based on comments from City departments and outside agencies. Staff is recommending approval of the PD with only standard conditions of approval for new development projects. Options 1. Find the project exempt from CEQA under Class 5 of the CEQA Guidelines Section 15305 or other exemption and approve 2025-36 PD subject to the conditions included in the Resolution, and based on the findings included in the Resolution or other findings to be determined by the Planning Commission; or, 2. Find the project not exempt from CEQA and/or deny 2025-36 PD based on the attached findings, or findings to be determined by the Planning Commission; or, 3.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff Recommends Approval of the Zone Variance (ZV) Request for a Single-Family Residence and an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), Subject to the Recommended Conditions in the Attached Planning Commission Resolution No. 2026-02 and a Determination that the Project is Exempt from CEQA. The Granting of a Zone Variance is Allowable with Findings Pursuant to Section 18.12.120 of the Land Use Code. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION: On March 16, 2026, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the ZV by a unanimous vote of those present with modified conditions. Commissioner Castle recused herself from the item. There is also one vacant seat on the Planning Commission. Ayes: Armenta, Gogue, Miller, Quinones Recused: Castle Absent: Valenzuela EXPLANATION: The applicant proposes to construct a one-story, 803 square-foot single-family residence and a 620 square-foot attached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) on an existing 2,500 square-foot vacant lot on East 5th Street between Highland Avenue and I Avenue. Due to the size and shape of the lot, a variance is being requested to deviate from the minimum lot area, street frontage, and setbacks for the Small Lot Residential (RS-2) zone. The Planning Commission conducted an initial public hearing for a Zone Variance request on November 17, 2025, and voted to continue the item for additional information and a request for a two-story design proposal. A subsequent public hearing was conducted on March 16, 2026, and the applicant’s plans for both the one-story and two-story development proposals were provided in the staff report as Exhibit’s A and B. The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the request with modified conditions for Exhibit B, the two-story design, based on the findings and Conditions of Approval in the attached resolution. The attached Planning Commission staff report describes the proposal in detail. Page 181 of 304 FINANCIAL STATEMENT: An application fee of $3,700 was paid with the submittal of the subject ZV.

CASE FILE NO. 2025-21 ZV APN: 556-311-10 WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of National City considered a Zone Variance for a new single-family residence and accessory dwelling unit (ADU) to be located at East 5th Street between Highland Avenue and I Avenue (APN: 556-311- 10). At a duly advertised public hearing held on March 16, 2026, 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. 2025-21 ZV 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 March 16, 2026, support the following findings: 1. The rectangular-shaped lot is a remnant parcel from divisions of land for the development of adjacent properties resulting in a substandard lot with half the minimum lot size and street frontage requirements in the zone. Given the size and shape of the lot, there is no room to bu ild a residence of a typical size and an ADU without encroaching into the required property setbacks. 2. Existing development within the RS-2 zone and vicinity is constructed with less than required lot size, street frontage, and setbacks. Developed properties with Page 183 of 304 less than 5,000 square feet of lot area along E 5th Street and I Avenue are common.

CERTIFICATION: Page 187 of 304 This certifies that the Resolution was adopted by the Planning Commission at their meeting of March 16, 2026, by the following vote: AYES: NAYS: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: ________________________ CHAIRPERSON Page 188 of 304 Item no. 5 March 16, 2026 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT - PLANNING DIVISION 1243 NATIONAL CITY BLVD., NATIONAL CITY, CA 91950 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT Title: PUBLIC HEARING – DETERMINATION THAT THE PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) UNDER CLASS 3 OF THE CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 15303 (NEW CONSTRUCTION OR CONVERSION OF SMALL STRUCTURES) AND ZONE VARIANCE TO DEVIATE FROM MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR LOT AREA, STREET FRONTAGE, AND SETBACKS AT A VACANT PROPERTY LOCATED ON EAST 5TH STREET BETWEEN HIGHLAND AVENUE AND I AVENUE. Case File No.: 2025-21 ZV Location: East 5th Street between Highland Avenue and I Avenue Assessor’s Parcel Nos.: 556-311-10-00 Staff report by: David Welch, Principal Planner Applicant: Flavia Gomes Zoning designation: Small Lot Residential (RS-2) Adjacent use and zoning: North: Residential use across East 5th Street / RS-2 East: Residential use / RS-2 South: Residential use / RS-2 West: Residential with Commercial uses beyond Highland Avenue / Minor Mixed-Use Corridor (MXC-1) Environmental review: Categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to Class 3, Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) Staff recommendation: Approve EXHIBIT B Page 189 of 304 Planning Commission Meeting of March 16, 2026 Page 2 Staff Recommendation Staff is recommending approval of the Zone Variance request, subject to the recommended conditions in the attached resolution and a determination that the project is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Executive Summary The applicant proposes to construct a one story, 803 square-foot single-family residence and 630 square-foot attached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) on an existing 2,500 square-foot vacant lot on East 5th Street between Highland Avenue and I Avenue. Due to the size and shape of the lot, a variance is being requested to deviate from the minimum lot area, street frontage, and setbacks for the Small Lot Residential (RS-2) zone. On November 17, the Planning Commission voted to continue the public hearing to allow the applicant to look into a possible two-story design and a modified setback request. The applicant’s revised drawings are attached as Exhibit A, the applicant’s preferred one-story design, and Exhibit B, the Planning Commission’s requested two-story design. Exhibit A provides for a four-foot side yard setback on the west side of the property instead of the original request for three feet. On the east side, a reduced setback of three feet and six inches is requested. In addition, the rear yard setback for the attached ADU was increased to three feet while the front yard setback was reduced to 11 feet. The project design in Exhibit B includes a 1,047- square foot home on the first floor and an 870 square-foot ADU on the second floor, which is accessed via an exterior staircase. Exhibit B has the same side setbacks, but the front yard request would be for 16 feet and the rear yard for 20 feet. Staff is recommending approval of the applicant’s preferred design (Exhibit A). Site Characteristics The project site is comprised of a 2,500 square-foot vacant parcel located on East 5th Street between Highland Avenue and “I” Avenue. The rectangular-shaped lot is a remnant parcel from divisions of land for the development of adjacent properties. The lot is of a substandard size for the RS-2 zone and would not allow for the construction of a home without the granting of a variance. The lot has 25 feet of street frontage along East 5th Street. The lot is approximately 100 feet deep along its eastern and western boundary. The size of the lot results in a constrained buildable area when required setbacks are accounted for. The property is zoned RS-2 and has a Low Density Residential General Plan designation. Page 190 of 304 Planning Commission Meeting of March 16, 2026 Page 3 Proposed Project The applicant is proposing to construct a single-family residence with an attached ADU on a vacant, substandard lot. The proposed 803 square-foot residence is planned to be one story with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The attached 630 square-foot ADU is planned to be one story with one bedroom and one bathroom. In addition to the minimum lot size and street frontage requirements, the applicant is requesting reduced setbacks. The applicant is requesting an 11- foot front yard setback, a three-foot six-inch side yard setback to the east, a four- foot side yard to the West, and a three-foot rear yard setback for the ADU. Analysis General Plan The General Plan land use designation for the subject property is Low Density Residential, which specifies a maximum density of nine dwelling units per acre. The project has a proposed density (not including the ADU) of approximately 17 units per acre, which is double the generally-allowed density. However, the property owner has the right to develop a single-family residence on the lot per state law. Moreover, Senate Bill 9 (SB 9) allows for the creation of new lots that are less than the required minimum lot size. Therefore, the project is consistent with state law, and thus, the General Plan. This project contributes to affordable housing and infill development, which is encouraged by the following General Plan policies: Policy LU 2.3: Encourage housing types that are often more affordable, such as micro-units and accessory dwelling units. Policy HE 1.4: Promote the development of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) throughout National City to meet residential housing needs. Policy HE 2.1: Promote residential development on underutilized land and remove barriers to infill development. The proposal is a residential infill project including a single-family residence and an ADU on a vacant lot that would ordinarily not be permitted on a substandard lot. The proposal also provides an additional home ownership opportunity, which is consistent with the City’s Housing Element. Page 191 of 304 Planning Commission Meeting of March 16, 2026 Page 4 Land Use Code The Land Use Code (LUC) includes development standards for zoning districts. For the RS-2 zone, there are minimum standards for lot area, street frontage, and setbacks. The proposed single-family residence would not meet several requirements within the LUC and is requesting a zone variance to deviate from the prescribed rules. As discussed above, the property is 2,500 square-feet in size with a street frontage of 25 feet along East 5th Street. For this reason, the property is substandard in size and logically presents challenges to the development of a single-family residence that would not exist on an ordinary lot. The minimum lot area and street frontage required by the LUC for the RS-2 zone is 5,000 square feet and 50 feet respectively. With the development of the adjacent properties, the lot has been reduced in size and shape and has remained in a vacant state for several decades. The request for a variance for a reduced minimum lot area and street frontage would allow for the development of a single-family home and ADU consistent with other properties in the RS-2 zone. Setback requirements for a single-family residence in the RS-2 zone include a 20-foot front yard setback, five-foot side yard setbacks, and a 25-foot rear yard setback. Setback requirements for an ADU include a 15-foot front yard setback and four-foot side and rear yard setbacks. In order to construct the proposed primary residence, the applicant is requesting a reduced (11-foot) front yard setback, a (three-foot six-inch) side yard setback to the east, a (four-foot) side yard to the West, and a (three-foot) rear yard setback for the ADU. The substandard size and shape of the lot would not allow for the placement of a single-family home and an attached ADU of a typical size without reduced setbacks. The proposed size of the one-story single-family home is of a similar size and character to other homes in the area. An ADU can be built up to 1,200 square-feet, however, the applicant is requesting a small ADU of 630 square- feet. The requested reduced front yard setback is to serve a covered porch which is a common feature seen in the surrounding residences. Mailing All property owners and occupants within 300 feet are required to be notified of a public hearing for a Zone Variance application. Notice of this public hearing was sent to 184 occupants and owners. Page 192 of 304 Planning Commission Meeting of March 16, 2026 Page 5 Prior to the public hearing held on November 17, 2026, the Planning Division received one public comment as part of this public hearing notice. There were also four speakers at the public hearing in opposition to the project. Department Comments Comments were provided by the Fire Department related to standard requirements for new developments. The Building Division and Engineering Department provided comments for additional considerations for stormwater and fire safety specific to the request for zero-foot setbacks. The comments have been incorporated as conditions of approval. Findings for Approval The Municipal Code contains three required findings for Zone Variances as follows: 1. Variances from the terms of Title 18 shall be granted only when, because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of Title 18 deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification. The rectangular-shaped lot is a remnant parcel from divisions of land for the development of adjacent properties resulting in a substandard lot with half the minimum lot size and street frontage requirements in the zone. Given the size and shape of the lot, there is no room to build a residence of a typical size and an ADU without encroaching into the required property setbacks. 2. Any variance granted shall be subject to such conditions as will assure that the adjustment thereby authorized shall not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which such property is situated. Existing development within the RS-2 zone and vicinity is constructed with less than required lot size, street frontage, and setbacks. Developed properties with less than 5,000 square feet of lot area along E 5th Street and I Avenue are common. Most residential properties in the area do not conform to setback regulations. The requested reduction will result in development consistent with the surrounding area. Page 193 of 304 Planning Commission Meeting of March 16, 2026 Page 6 3. A variance shall not be granted for a parcel of property which authorizes a use or activity which is not otherwise expressly authorized by the zone regulation governing the parcel of property. The request is to construct a single-family home and an ADU, which is a permitted use in the RS-2 zone. One additional finding is required for this project: 4. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has been determined to be categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to Class 3, Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) for which a Notice of Exemption will be filed subsequent to approval of this Zone Variance. Class 3 consists of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures among other similar projects. One single- family residence, or a second dwelling unit in a residential zone are explicitly provided for under this exemption. The proposed project is to construct one single-family residence and an ADU. Conditions of Approval Standard Conditions of Approval related to new development projects are included as well as comments from the Fire, Building, and Engineering Department. Summary The proposed single-family residence and accessory dwelling unit (ADU) are permitted uses for which the applicant is requesting several variances. The lot size and shape would make it impractical to construct an ordinary single-family residence and ADU in conformance with applicable regulations within Land Use Code. Staff is recommending approval of the variance request for reduced lot area, street frontage, and setbacks subject to the recommended Conditions of Approval.

RECOMMENDATION: Conduct the Public Hearing and Adopt a Resolution Entitled, “Resolution of the Community Development Commission - Housing Authority of the City of National City, California, Approving the FY 2026-2027 Streamlined Annual Public Housing Agency Plan for the Housing Choice Voucher Program and Authorizing the Submittal of the Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.” BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION: Not Applicable. EXPLANATION: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”), in response to the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998, requires housing authorities to prepare a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program Public Housing Agency (PHA) Plan. The Public Housing Agency Plan concept is based on the consolidated planning process used for HUD's community development programs. Like the Consolidated Plan required by HUD for jurisdictions using federal funds for Housing and Community Development, the PHA Plan provides a planning mechanism by which the National City Housing Authority Section 8 - Housing Choice Voucher and Emergency Housing Voucher Programs can examine their long-range and short-term needs. Specifically, the PHA Plan identifies the needs of the families that it serves and develops both long-term strategies through a Five-Year PHA Plan and short-term strategies through a Streamlined Annual PHA Plan for addressing the needs. The Streamlined Annual Public Housing Authority Plan provides details about the immediate operations of the Section 8 Program and identifies strategies for the National City Housing Authority to manage operational and participant concerns, program needs, and services. The Streamlined Annual PHA Plan for FY 2026-27 was made available for public review and comment on the National City Section 8 Program webpage, www.nationalcityca.gov/section8, and in person at the National City Housing Authority and Office of the City Clerk for a period of 45 days starting on February 6, 2026. There was no public comment received during the public review and comment period. Page 280 of 304 FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The Housing Authority will provide 1,131 Housing Choice Vouchers and 24 Emergency Housing vouchers in Fiscal Year 2026-27 with an annual housing subsidy value of $18.5 million and a total program budget of $20.2 million. RELATED CITY COUNCIL 2020-2025 STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL: Housing and Community Development ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: This is not a project under CEQA and is therefore not subject to environmental review. CCR15378; PRC 21065. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION: The Agenda Report was posted within 72 hours of the meeting date and time in accordance with the Ralph M. Brown Act.

NCHA will implement the new NSPIRE HCV Housing Inspections to comply with HUD’s due date before October 1, 2026. PHA Goal: Increase assisted housing choices Objective: Maintain current number of vouchers within funding level. Progress: Managed and monitored the utilization of vouchers and assured NCHA operated within its budget authority. PHA Goal: Provide an improved living environment Objective: Assists the local economy by increasing the occupancy rate and the amount of money flowing in the community. Progress: The current occupancy rate is at 96%, thus, maximizing the number of families being assisted which turns into more spending power for residents in the community. PHA Goal: Ensure equal opportunity and affirmatively further fair housing. Objective: Promote equal housing opportunities. Progress: Fair housing programs and resources are included in all voucher issuance briefings. PHA Goal: Deter and eliminate program fraud.

The Plan also identifies the CDC - Housing Authority’s strategy for handling operational concerns, resident concerns and needs, programs, and services; and WHEREAS, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") requires a Public Hearing to be held to receive public input; and WHEREAS, on April 7, 2026, a Public Hearing was held to receive comments from the public on the proposed Streamlined Annual Public Housing Agency Plan for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-2027 ; and WHEREAS, the Resident Advisory Board, composed of all Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher participants, was given an opportunity to review and comment on the proposed plan.

Brown Act and Senate Bill 707. The Policy Will be Known as City Council Policy No. 103, “Disruption of Telephonic or Internet Service During Public Meetings”; and Receive and File the Companion Presiding Officer/Clerk/Information Technology Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for Implementation of the Policy. BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION: Not Applicable. EXPLANATION: The purpose of this policy is to ensure compliance with the Ralph M. Brown Act (California Government Code Sections 54950-54963), as amended by Senate Bill (SB) 707, by establishing clear procedures for addressing technological disruptions during public meetings while protecting the public’s right to attend and participate without being required to provide personal identifying information. SB 707 prohibits a legislative body from requiring members of the public to provide identifying information to attend, observe, or participate in meetings and clarifies how disruptions in teleconferenced meetings may be addressed. The City’s prior compliance efforts under AB 361 and AB 2449 – including pausing meetings until service is restored - are consistent with the requirements of SB 707. The City of National City has proactively implemented many of the transparency, public access, and participation practices now reflected in SB 707. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the City utilized Zoom as an online platform and has continued its use to enhance public engagement. The platform allows members of the public to provide verbal comments in both English and Spanish. In addition, live-streamed meetings include live Spanish translation, accessible by selecting the preferred language option. The City has also followed a technological disruption protocol as a general practice. This protocol has been implemented on at least two occasions during technical difficulties, at which time meetings were paused until staff restored internet connectivity. Formal adoption of this policy will codify existing practices and ensure consistent compliance across all legislative bodies, including City Council, Planning Commission, Housing Authority and all Boards, Commissions, and Committees. Page 294 of 304 SB 707 requires the legislative body to adopt a technology disruption policy at a noticed public meeting on or before July 1, 2026. The attached City Council Policy is presented for consideration and adoption. If approved, the policy shall become effective immediately upon adoption. The City Clerk’s Office will distribute the adopted policy to all City Councilmembers, City Staff, and members of the City’s Boards, Commissions and Committees. Additionally, the City Clerk will provide training to all staff liaisons to ensure understanding of and compliance with the policy. Appended to the policy will be the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for its implementation. These SOPs will outline the Rules of Procedure and roles of the Presiding Officer, City Clerk and Information Technology staff in the event of a technological or service disruption. The SOPs may be updated administratively to maintain compliance with state laws and evolving technology standards. Substantive policy changes shall require amendment of City Council Policy No. 103 at a duly noticed public meeting. FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Not Applicable.

Consistent with the Brown Act and SB 707: 1. Members of the public shall not be required to register or provide identifying information to attend, observe, or provide public comment. 2.
