ATTACHMENTS (Listed Below) Resolution No H A•700 (Re. .fc' STATUS REPORT Euclid Avenue and 22nd Street Left Turn Prohibition from 22nd Street On September 23, 1997, the City Council held a Public hearing to discuss alternatives to address the sight distance problem at the intersection of Euclid Avenue and 22nd Street. Individuals in the neighborhood west of Euclid Avenue had submitted requests to the Traffic Safety Committee to close 22nd Street at Euclid Avenue, or prohibit left turns from 22nd onto Euclid Avenue as a way to prevent collisions between southbound and left turning vehicles. At the September 23rd meeting, the Council voted to post only eastbound 22nd Street at Euclid Avenue with a no left turn sign (left turns from northbound Euclid to 22nd Street are allowed). The Council also directed that the City Engineer report back after six months on the operation of the intersection with the prohibition of left turns from 22nd Street. The Engineering Department staff has monitored the intersection since the City Council meeting last September and has not observed any problems. There have been no collisions reported at this intersection since November of 1993. The Engineering Department therefore recommends that the current left turn prohibition be maintained with no modifications at this time. This report has been sent to the neighborhood.

CITY TAXI 590.8 (PC 110) At its meeting on February 18, 1998, your City Council approved renewal of an agreement with MTDB authorizing MTDB to license and regulate taxicabs and other private for -hire vehicles. We appreciate your prompt action to renew the agreement, and look forward to a successful term. The Council also requested a report back in 30 days which would respond to various taxicab matters you and others raised. The concerns and our responses are as follows: 1. How many taxicabs are licensed to serve National City? MTDB records show 65 taxicab vehicle permits for National City, which agrees with the City Clerk's records. The permits are distributed as follows: • 38 are authorized to serve National City, El Cajon, Imperial Beach, Lemon Grove, Poway, and Santee; of these, 27 are issued to Transit Capital, Inc. (dba Yellow Cab and dba Diamond Cab), and 11 are issued to Red Cab, Inc. • 26 are authorized to serve National City, El Cajon, Imperial Beach, Lemon Grove, Poway, San Diego, and Santee; of these, 20 are issued to Transit Capital, Inc., while 6 are currently issued to San Diego Cab, inc., and are pending transfer to USA Cab Ltd. • 1 permit, abandoned by Radio Cab, is currently unassigned. 2. What is the status of regional permits, i.e-, that would allow all MTDB-permitted taxicabs to serve all 7 cities (listed above)? The issue of regional permits is one of more than 60 proposals that the MTDB Taxicab Committee is reviewing. The Committee advises the MTD Board of Directors and consists of eight taxi owners, four representatives of business organizations, and is chaired by an MTD Board member. The Committee voted on the sequence in which to review these proposals, and the regional permit proposal is near the end of the priority list. Many of the Memter Agencies' City of Chula Vista. City of Coronaeo. Co. or Si Caion. City at !meernal Beach. City at La Mesa. City of Lorton Grave. City of National City. City of Poway. City of San Diego. City of Santee. County at San Ciego.

Therefore, we expect that it will be several more months before the review is completed. 3. Given that National City's taxicabs are also authorized to serve other cities, are National City neighborhoods receiving adequate service? As suggested, MTDB staff conducted a brief taxicab service audit. Response times were generally very fast, the drivers were knowledgeable and behaved appropriately, taxicabs on the streets appeared plentiful, and no problems were encountered related to short distances or any other aspects. A memorandum from MTDB Taxicab Inspector Luis Cesena (who supervised the audit) describes the process and reports the specific findings (see attachment). 4. What are the response times? Do residents and visitors have long waits? The time elapsed from making a telephone request to the cab's arrival for the pickup ranged from 4 to 18 minutes, and averaged 8 minutes. Eight minutes is considered a very prompt response time. The slowest response (18 minutes) was from Sweetwater High School to the 24`" Street Trolley Station. 5. Is there demand for more taxicabs? Based on the above, it appears that current service is adequate to serve the expressed demand. However, this was a very limited service audit. Another indicator would be passenger complaints, which MTDB rarely receives concerning National City taxicab service. Request From Red Cab On February 23, 1998, Mr. Tex Hedrick, owner of Red Cab, requested issuance of the one currently unassigned permit to Red Cab. While there are no guidelines by which to respond to this request, MTDB has received a similar request concerning several unassigned City of San Diego permits. The request related to the San Diego permits has been under discussion by the Taxicab Committee, which is the MTD Board of Directors' advisory committee concerning taxicab matters. Mr. Hedrick's request is scheduled for the Taxicab Committee's review at its April 2, 1998 meeting. The MTD Board of Directors will consider the Committee's recommendation when it subsequently takes action on the matter. The Board will then forward its recommendation to National City for policy concurrence on whether to authorize MTDB to reissue the unassigned permit, and the process for any such reissuance.

ITEM TITLE REPORT ON AMTRAK MAINTENANCE FACILITY FUNDING PREPARED BY Roger Post RC.f2 DEPARTMENT Planning EXPLANATION. On February 27, 1998 the SANDAG Board of Directors approved the 1998 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) Regional Project list. This is a 5 year program which identifies projects requiring state and federal funding. National City participates in the STIP process through the office of the City Engineer. The SANDAG agenda statement for this item includes a CalTrans request for funding in the amount 10.1 million for an Amtrak maintenance facility in the San Diego area. It was an "add on" project that had not been included in the draft plan. A map accompanying the item depicts the project as being in National City. When we called SANDAG staff to learn more details of this proposal, we were told a site had not been selected but that it would be somewhere in the south San Diego/National City area. They stated that National City would be kept informed as more information became available. The indication is that SANDAG staff and Board members from other cities are skeptical of this project. At this point we know very little about this proposal, except that at 10.1 million dollars it could be very ambitious. If it is in fact within our City limits, it has the potential to be disruptive to our Harbor District revitalization efforts. The final decision on funding this project will be made by the California Transportation Commission, probably in June. Planning and Engineering staffs will attempt to learn more about the matter and will keep Council informed.

The Circus is Coming!!! Chairwoman Janice Martinelli of the Chamber's Fund - Raising Committee has once again helped bring back Circus Vargas to National City! The Circus is also one of the Chamber's most successful Fund -Raising events of the year. Each year, a portion of the tickets sold are donat- ed back to the Chamber for coordinating this event. The Circus will run from Thursday, April 2nd to Sunday, April 5th. Opening night of the Circus is designated `Chamber Night." You can purchase your tickets from any fund-raising committee member or contact the Chamber at 477-9339. When was the last time you took your family to the Circus? Point of Clarification The Chamber wishes to provide the following information to our members to clarity an oversight, in the Jan./Feb. Newsletter. Due to the resignation of Mr. Wayne Loney from the National City Chamber Board of uirectors, the Board took action at its December meeting and elected to appoint Ms. Joanne Reel to become 2nd Vice President. In addition. the Chamber over- looked omitting Ms. Ana Asay's name from print when listing the names of the 1998 Board of Directors in the Jan./Feb. Chamber newsletter. It has been decided by the corporation that Mr. Fernandes would continue to represent the Holiday Inn/Radisson Suites on the Chamber board: thereby, making it impossible for Ms. Asay to serve in 1998. Mr. Frank Fernandes will represent the Holiday Inn/Radisson Suites corporation on the Board of Directors in 1998 of the Chamber. The bylaws of the Chamber prohibits more than one representative of the same organization or business to serve on the Board of Directors. If you have any questions regarding this matter. please contact Trish De La Rosa at 477-9339.

Donald Condon, Fire Marshal Req cicd Paper City of National City, California COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT MEETING DATE March 24, 1998 12 AGENDA ITEM NO ITEM TITLE NOTICE OF DECISION - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A 10,000 SQ. FT. EXPANSION OF A SHOPPING CENTER AND ZONE VARIANCES FOR NEW SIGNS AT 3007 HIGHLAND AV • SE FILE NOs. CUP-1997-4; Z-1998-1 PREPARED BY Rbn Santos - Assistant Planner DEPARTMENT Planning EXPLANATION. The applicant requests a CUP to expand the Sweetwater Square shopping center, located southeast of the intersection of Highland Ave. and 30th St., by constructing a 10,000 s.f., one-story, freestanding building. The four suite building would be built partially on and to the west of an existing dirt pad. In order to accommodate the additional parking spaces required, several minor modifications to the parking lot drive aisles and striping are proposed. In addition, a driveway ramp would be provided between the subject site and the adjacent Toys 'R' Us site. The proposal also calls for exterior remodeling of the existing main building, and adoption of sign criteria for the entire shopping center. Two of the proposed signs require variances: (1) a 145 sq. ft. wall sign facing the 54 Freeway and (2) a 4.3 ft. tall monument sign proposed near the site's southwest corner. The wall sign requires a variance because it would not have direct street frontage. (A parcel in the City of Chula Vista separates the subject site from the freeway). The monument sign requires a variance since it would be the second freestanding sign along Highland Ave., whereas the code allows only one per street frontage. The combined area of signs on walls without street frontage would be re- duced from 660 s.f. to 376 s.f. with approval of the variance, while the total number of such signs would be unchanged. The project, with variances, complies with all applicable Design Guidelines and Land Use Code requirements. Planning Commission voted to approve the CUP and Variance requests at the March 2, 1998 meeting, based on findings recommended by staff. The applicant spoke in favor of the application. No other testimony from the public was received. Environmental Review Financial Statement N/A N/A Negative Declaration (IS-1997-8) Account No STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff concurs with the decision of the Planning Commission and recommends that the Notice of Decision be filed.

Location Map Resolution No. A-100 (Rev. 9/BC) RESOLUTION NO. 2-98 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A 10,000 SQ.FT. EXPANSION OF A SHOPPING CENTER AND ZONE VARIANCES FOR NEW SIGNS AT 3007 HIGHLAND AVENUE. APPLICANT: SWEETWA1ER SQUARE LLC CASE FILE NO. CUP-1997-4/Z-1998-1 WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of National City considered Conditional Use Permit and Zone Variance applications for expansion of a shopping center and for new signs at 3007 Highland Avenue at the regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting on March 2, 1998, 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 Nos. CUP-1997-4 and Z-1998-1 which are maintained by the City and incorporated herein by reference; and, WHEREAS, this action is taken pursuant to all applicable procedures required by State law and City law; and. WHEREAS, the action recited herein is found to be essential for the preservation of public health, safety, and general welfare. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of National City, California, that the testimony and evidence presented to the Planning Commission at the public hearing held on March 2, 1998, support the following findings: FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 1. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape, since there is adequate area at the site to accommodate the new construction in accordance with all Land Use Code requirements. 2. That the site has sufficient access to streets and highways that are adequate in width and pavement type to carry the volume and type of traffic generated by the proposed relatively small expansion of an existing shopping center, since the site is adequately served by Highland Avenue and 30th Street, designated arterial roadways in the Circulation Element of the National City General Plan. These streets have capacity to handle the minor increase in traffic anticipated with the center's expansion. 3. That the proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting properties. since the site is located in an area primarily surrounded by compatible and complementary uses. The proposed use is consistent with the sites CG (General Commercial) Combined General Plan/ Zoning designation; and the site is adequately separated from residential uses by an 80 foot wide public right-of-way. In addition, the proposed expansion is small, relative to the size of the existing shopping center on the site, and will not change the established land use pattern in the area. 4. That the proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience and welfare, since it will help promote the General Plan policies related to the preservation and strengthening of existing commercial uses; including actions to increase sales tax revenues generated in the City in order to provide adequate funding to support public programs. The shopping center's expansion and proposed remodeling will also carry out objectives of the City's Design Guidelines and improve the appearance of the area. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF ZONE VARIANCE 1. That because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape, topography, location and/or surroundings, the strict application of Title 18 of the Municipal Code deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under the identical zone classification, since the situation of the site below the grade of adjoining streets limits the visibility of the center to potential customers; and since signs are generally allowed on walls of commercial buildings facing and adjacent to freeways. In addition, the site is large, compared to most parcels which front on Highland Avenue in the CG zone. A variance would not be required for a second freestanding sign on Highland Avenue if the site were divided into separate parcels. 2. That the requested variance is subject to such conditions which will assure that the adjustment authorized will not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitation upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which such property is situated, since the total square footage of sign area proposed does not exceed 25 percent of the wall area on the ground floor otherwise allowed for small permanent signs in commercial and manufacturing zones per National City Municipal Code Section 18.62.130. In addition, smaller parcels in the area may be permitted to install freestanding signs, whereas the large site would only be permitted one freestanding sign per street frontage without the variance. 3. That the variance does not authorize a use or activity which is not otherwise expressly authorized by the zoning regulations governing the parcel of property, since wall identification signs and freestanding signs are permitted in the zone. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission has considered the proposed Negative Declaration No. IS 1997-8 together with any comments received during the public review process, and finds on the basis of the Initial Study and any comments received that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment, approves the Negative Declaration. and authorizes the filing of a Notice of Determination. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the applications for Conditional Use Permit and Zone Variance are approved subject to the following conditions: 1.
