We have several near accidents because we are unable to see incoming vehicles due to vehicles parked on our side of the street. This is the same situation for vehicles exiting from the Plaza Apartments. Also, when cars and trucks are parked, we cannot see vehicles coming from North and South of "N" Street and vehicles coming from the two Commercial Centers in front of us. Enclosed are pictures (4) taken at different times of different vehicles parked that obscure our vision of incoming vehicles. The above request is made to prevent the possible loss of life and properties. We will appreciate it if your Department can give this request priority. Sincerely, Alfonso B.

AYES NAYS ABSENT City of National City, California COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT MEETING DATE February 1, 2005 AGENDA ITEM NO. 13 ITEM TITLE PUBLIC HEARING — ADJUSTMENT OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY SCHEDULE OF USER FEES AND IMPACT FEES PREPARED BY Kathleen Trees, Director DEPARTMENT Building & Safety EXPLANATION On January 6, 2004 the City Council authorized staff to contract with MAXIMUS to proceed with a user fee study and on January 20, 2004 the City Council authorized the impact fee study. Those studies were completed and the City Council held a workshop on January 11, 2005 to review the methodology and results of the study and make recommendations on changes to the fees. Government Code Section 66018 requires that a Public Hearing be conducted prior to the adoption of a resolution establishing new fees or adjusting existing fees. See attached staff report.

BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION N/A ATTACHMENTS ( Listed Below ) Staff Report Proposed Fee Schedule Notice of Public Hearing (on file ) Resolution No. A-200 19:991 Staff Report USER FEES HISTORY User fees are the fees charged by the various City departments for their services. The last City user fee review was conducted in 2001. User fees need to be modified frequently to keep pace with inflation and to avoid large fee increases. Recent increases in labor, materials and supplies may have resulted in user fees that are not sufficient to cover the cost of City services or new services may have been added in which the fees have not been established. In addition, some fees may need to be reduced or eliminated. In previous years, the departments were asked to review their fees, compare them with other jurisdictions then compute the cost of the service based on the amount of time spent on the service, personnel and materials costs. In recent years, however, cities have been challenged in the courts on their development fees. With this in mind, the City Council on January 6, 2004 contracted with MAXIMUS, Inc. to determine the user fees for the City. MAXIMUS, Inc. was chosen because of their many years of experience in calculating user fees that can be defended in the courts. The user fee study includes both the direct cost to the department and the indirect cost of the service thus allowing the Council to better understand the true cost of providing city services. This ensures that the City adopts fees that recover costs at the desired level without over or under charging for a service. The Council can still choose to charge fees below cost recovery. FULL COST RECOVERY Development fees that do not provide for complete cost recovery require a subsidy from the General Fund (i.e. the taxpayers). National City has historically kept development fees low to promote growth in the City and to help homeowners with modest incomes make improvements to their property. Development in the city is now shifting from homeowner additions and remodels, to large residential developments and some commercial development. In addition, the City is now attracting new development and it is expected that the development will continue without using fee subsidies as an incentive. It no longer makes sense to have the taxpayers subsidize City services that are provided to the developers for their benefit. The Council, however, still has the ability to keep the fees for residential additions and remodels at a rate below full cost recovery. MAXIMUS recommends that the City increase or decrease the current fees to the full cost recovery level. Recreation Recreation programs are nearly always subsidized by tax dollars. Parents may be unable or reluctant to enroll their children in programs if the fees were set at actual cost. Adults may pursue other recreational opportunities if city -sponsored programs were priced at actual cost. Apart for fees for non-residents, few communities set prices at cost. At the workshop on January 11, 2005, the City Council recommended that the Recreation fees be set at 25% of full cost recovery. The fee schedule reflects this recommendation. After the City Council workshop the Recreation Department did a comparison of their fees with Chula Vista and La Mesa. The study is attached. It is their recommendation that the fees for the swim programs and the tiny tots programs be reduced further to encourage participation. Recreation fees can change every year as recreation programs change. For this reason, MAXIMUS developed a model that will allow the recreation department to determine the cost of any program it offers and to update the programs as needed. The department will use 25% of the full cost to determine the cost to the participant. CURRENT BUDGET NEEDS To balance the 04-05 budget the potential increase in revenue from new development (based on the increase in new development and full cost recovery fees) was used. If new full cost recovery development fees are not adopted, there will be a budget shortfall in the next fiscal year. Money to cover this shortfall will have to come from another source. The longer it takes to adopt the new fees, the greater the shortfall and the more money will be needed to make up the deficit. MULTI -YEAR FEES The proposed fees are based on the FY 03-04 final budget figures. Once the fee adjustments are made, MAXIMUS recommends that the City update the fee schedules periodically to account for changes over time by using an automatic fee increase mechanism. This method provides a level of convenience and efficiency because staff does not have to take the time to recalculate cost recovery percentages each year, yet the fees will increase to recover the budget increases due to staff increases in salary. Labor costs are the majority of the expenses for the City departments. Increases in the department's budget are usually attributed to these costs. The City can insert into the rate schedule a fee increase factor that is based on known and anticipated labor cost increases, such as cost of living raises, association agreements, salary step increases, benefits increases and other salary or benefit enhancements. The fee study has identified two other alternatives to updating the fees including recalculating the fees annually based on new staffing and expenditures numbers. This method would be expensive and time consuming. The other alternative would be to base the fee increases on economic indicators. This method is not suggested since tying the user fee increases to cost factors that may or may not reflect reality in the departments can be inaccurate. Proposed automatic update for 04-05 fiscal year: Since the proposed fees are based on the 03-04 budget and the MEA and POA both received pay increases amounting to 5% in 04-05, staff is recommending that the Council approve the fees with the 5% adjustment to account for the increased costs this fiscal year. The departmental fee schedules have been returned to full cost recovery by increasing the MAXIMUS fees by 5%. LOWER FEES Several fees will now be lower. These fees include permit fees for room additions, detached garages, manufactured homes, apartment buildings and single family homes over 2,500 square feet. In addition Apartment Occupancy Permits previously issued by the County of San Diego will be reduced. Staff also did a comparison with other neighboring jurisdictions. The results showed that the City of National City is lower than those cities in almost all cases. NEW FEES Staff is recommending that the following new fees be added to the fee schedule. Housing Inspections (1- 4 Units) $68.00 per unit Code Enforcement $101 per unit Tranquilizer Fee $ 13 Guard dog perniit $255 Non -allowed animal permit $153 DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES HISTORY OF IMPACT FEES AB 1600, the California Mitigation Fee Act, took effect in 1989. This bill allows jurisdictions to charge developers of new residential and commercial projects fees to mitigate the cost of the increased use of public facilities, such as police stations and equipment, fire stations and equipment, libraries and parks. Until recently, the City has not had a large amount of new development that would cause a significant increase in demand on city facilities. The City does, however, currently charge developers of new projects $125 for parks and approximately $1,500 for sewer. The City is now experiencing an increase in new development that will potentially have an impact on the city's current facilities. To determine the size of the impact fees, the City contracted with MAXIMUS, Inc. on January 20, 2004 to determine the impact fees the City should be imposing on new development. MAXIMUS, Inc. was chosen for their expertise since they have completed impact fees in over 50 jurisdictions since 1989. By having a consultant determine the fees the City is ensured that if they decide to adopt impact fees, the fees will be defensible in court. METHODOLOGY Impact fees are needed to prevent deterioration in public services that would result from new development. In order to charge impact fees, the contractor had to show that the new development (increase in population) would increase the demand on the facilities. To do this, three different methods were used to calculate the impact fees. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages in each situation. However, they all allocate the facility costs in proportion to the needs created by development. Plan -Based Impact Fee Calculation Impact fees can be used to pay for new facilities that will be needed due to the increase in development. To determine this the plan -based method is used. The improvements needed to serve new development and the amount of new development are identified and then the total cost of the new facilities is divided by the total demand placed on the facilities by the new development. Cost Recovery Impact Fee Calculation Impact fees can be used to pay for existing facilities if they are needed for the new development and they have the capacity to serve the new development. This method is used when development needs to pay for its share of the useful life and remaining capacity of facilities that are already existing, but that new growth will benefit from. In this method, the portion of the facility cost that new development will use is divided by the number of new units that the facility will serve. Incremental Expansion Impact Fee Calculation Impact fees can be used for expanding facilities to serve new development such as expanding the facilities in the existing parks. For this method the current level of service is calculated as well as the replacement cost of the improvements. The City will charge the same cost as it would for replacement, however the money would not be used for replacement, but for expansion of the improvements to provide for new development. POLICE The Police impact fees were calculated using all three methods. The plan -based method was used for a new police substation, the cost recovery method was used for the main headquarters and the incremental expansion method was used for new patrol cars. Police impact fee revenue from new growth is expected to total approximately $1.3 million over the next sixteen years or approximately $83,500 annually. FIRE The Fire impact fees were calculated using the plan -based and cost recovery methods. The plan -based method was used for the relocation and expansion of Station 34 as well as the construction of one additional station and associated apparatus. The cost recovery method was used for Station 31 and the fire apparatus. Fire impact fee revenue from new growth is expected to total approximately $530,000 over the next sixteen years, or approximately $33,000 annually. PARKS AND RECREATION The Parks and Recreation impact fees were calculated using an incremental expansion methodology. The City has limited open space and is limited to expanding facilities at the existing parks. The impact fee revenue must be used to provide additional improvements and can not be used to replace or rehabilitate existing improvements. Parks and Recreation impact fee revenue from new growth is expected to total approximately $1.716 million over the next sixteen years, or approximately $107,000 annually. LIBRARY The Library impact fees were calculated using a plan -based approach based on the new library. The impact fee revenue from new growth is expected to total approximately $344,600 over the next sixteen years or approximately $21,500 annually. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION • The fees must be spent in a timely manner (5 years or a report must be filed stating what the fees will be spent on and why they can't be spent immediately). • Facilities funded by the fees must serve the development that paid the fees. • The fees do not become effective for 60 days after they are adopted. • The developer can pay the fees at permit issuance or at the certificate of occupancy. • The fees must be kept separate from the General Fund. • The City must report on each year on the account balances. • The fees should be adjusted annually based on the cost of construction increases.

The Council's recommendations are contained in the proposed City of National City User Fee Schedule — 2005. Should the Council adopt the Resolution, the adjusted fee schedule will become effective on February 1, 2005. See attached staff report. CEnvironmental Review X N/A Financial Statement Approved By: Finance Director The revenues to be generated to recover costs are dependent upon the condition of the economy and the frequency the City services are requested. Account No. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Adopt the Resolution. BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION N/A ATTACHMENTS ( Listed Below ) Resolution No. Staff Report Resolution Fee Schedule A-200 (9;99) Staff Report HISTORY User fees are the fees charged by the various City departments for their services. The last City user fee review was conducted in 2001. User fees need to be modified frequently to keep pace with inflation and to avoid large fee increases. Recent increases in labor, materials and supplies may have resulted in user fees that are not sufficient to cover the cost of City services or new services may have been added in which the fees have not been established. In addition, some fees may need to be reduced or eliminated. In previous years, the departments were asked to review their fees, compare them with other jurisdictions then compute the cost of the service based on the amount of time spent on the service, personnel and materials costs. In recent years, however, cities have been challenged in the courts on their development fees. With this in mind, the City Council on January 6, 2004 contracted with MAXIMUS, Inc. to determine the user fees for the City. MAXIMUS, Inc. was chosen because of their many years of experience in calculating user fees that can be defended in the courts. The user fee study includes both the direct cost to the department and the indirect cost of the service thus allowing the Council to better understand the true cost of providing city services. This ensures that the City adopts fees that recover costs at the desired level without over or under charging for a service. The Council can still choose to charge fees below cost recovery. FULL COST RECOVERY Development fees that do not provide for complete cost recovery require a subsidy from the General Fund (i.e. the taxpayers). National City has historically kept development fees low to promote growth in the City and to help homeowners with modest incomes make improvements to their property. Development in the city is now shifting from homeowner additions and remodels, to large residential developments and some commercial development. In addition, the City is now attracting new development and it is expected that the development will continue without using fee subsidies as an incentive. It no longer makes sense to have the taxpayers subsidize City services that are provided to the developers for their benefit. The Council, however, still has the ability to keep the fees for residential additions and remodels at a rate below full cost recovery. �X7 mm s at -the i y increase or a erc se the current fee to t1ie full cost recovery level. Recreation Recreation programs are nearly always subsidized by tax dollars. Parents may be unable or reluctant to enroll their children in programs if the fees were set at actual cost. Adults may pursue other recreational opportunities if city -sponsored programs were priced at actual cost. Apart for fees for non-residents, few communities set prices at cost. At the workshop on January 11, 2005, the City Council recommended that the Recreation fees be set at 25% of full cost recovery. The fee schedule reflects this recommendation. Recreation fees can change every year as recreation programs change. For this reason, MAXIMUS developed a model that will allow the recreation department to determine the cost of any program it offers and to update the programs as needed. The department will use 25% of the full cost to determine the cost to the participant. CURRENT BUDGET NEEDS To balance the 04-05 budget the potential increase in revenue from new development (based on the increase in new development and full cost recovery fees) was used. If new full cost recovery development fees are not adopted, there will be a budget shortfall in the next fiscal year. Money to cover this shortfall will have to come from another source. The longer it takes to adopt the new fees, the greater the shortfall and the more money will be needed to make up the deficit. MULTI -YEAR FEES The proposed fees are based on the FY 03-04 final budget figures. Once the fee adjustments are made, MAXIMUS recommends that the City update the fee schedules periodically to account for changes over time by using an automatic fee increase mechanism. This method provides a level of convenience and efficiency because staff does not have to take the time to recalculate cost recovery percentages each year, yet the fees will increase to recover the budget increases due to staff increases in salary. Labor costs are the majority of the expenses for the City departments. Increases in the department's budget are usually attributed to these costs. The City can insert into the rate schedule a fee increase factor that is based on known and anticipated labor cost increases, such as cost of living raises, association agreements, salary step increases, benefits increases and other salary or benefit enhancements. The fee study has identified two other alternatives to updating the fees including recalculating the fees annually based on new staffing and expenditures numbers. This method would be expensive and time consuming. The other alternative would be to base the fee increases on economic indicators. This method is not suggested since tying the apar--rnay-no:�.,.,.�.-�...y ..� enter _ - can be inaccurate. Proposed automatic update for 04-05 fiscal year: Since the proposed fees are based on the 03-04 budget and the MEA and POA both received pay increases amounting to 5% in 04-05, staff is recommending that the Council approve the fees with the 5% adjustment to account for the increased costs this fiscal year. The departmental fee schedules have been returned to full cost recovery by increasing the MAXIMUS fees by 5%. LOWER FEES Several fees will now be lower. These fees include permit fees for room additions, detached garages, manufactured homes, apartment buildings and single family homes over 2,500 square feet. In addition Apartment Occupancy Permits previously issued by the County of San Diego will be reduced. Staff also did a comparison with other neighboring jurisdictions. The results showed that the City of National City is lower than those cities in almost all cases. NEW FEES Staff is recommending that the following new fees be added to the fee schedule.

At a workshop on January 11, 2005, the City Council reviewed of the impact fees proposed by MAXIMUS. The Council's recommendations are contained in the proposed City of National City Impact Fee Schedule — 2005. Should the Council adopt the Resolution, the Impact Fee Schedule will become effective on April 2, 2005. See attached staff report. CEnvironmental Review Financial Statement N/A Finance Director The revenues to be generated to recover costs are dependent upon the condition of the economy and the frequency the City services are requested. Account No. Approved By: STAFF RECOMMENDATION Adopt the Resolution. BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION N/A ATTACHMENTS ( Listed Below ) Staff Report Resolution Impact Fee Schedule Impact Fee Study (available in Building & Safety Department) A 200 (9;99) Resolution No. Staff Report HISTORY OF IMPACT FEES AB1600, the California Mitigation Fee Act, took effect in 1989. This bill allows jurisdictions to charge developers of new residential and commercial projects fees to mitigate the cost of the increased use of public facilities, such as police stations and equipment, fire stations and equipment, libraries and parks. Until recently, the City has not had a large amount of new development that would cause a significant increase in demand on city facilities. The City does, however, currently charge developers of new projects $125 for parks and approximately $1,500 for sewer. The City is now experiencing an increase in new development that will potentially have an impact on the city's current facilities. To determine the size of the impact fees, the City contracted with MAXIMUS, Inc. on January 20, 2004 to determine the impact fees the City should be imposing on new development. MAXIMUS, Inc. was chosen for their expertise since they have completed impact fees in over 50 jurisdictions since 1989. By having a consultant determine the fees the City is ensured that if they decide to adopt impact fees, the fees will be defensible in court. METHODOLOGY Impact fees are needed to prevent deterioration in public services that would result from new development. In order to charge impact fees, the contractor had to show that the new development (increase in population) would increase the demand on the facilities. To do this, three different methods were used to calculate the impact fees. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages in each situation. However, they all allocate the facility costs in proportion to the needs created by development. Plan -Based Impact Fee Calculation Impact fees can be used to pay for new facilities that will be needed due to the increase in development. To determine this the plan -based method is used. The improvements needed to serve new development and the amount of new development are identified and then the total cost of the new facilities is divided by the total demand placed on the facilities by the new development. Cost Recovery Impact Fee Calculation Impact fees can be used to pay for existing facilities if they are needed for the new development and they have the capacity to serve the new development. This method is used when development needs to pay for its share of the useful life and remaining capacity of facilities that are already existing, but that new growth will benefit from. In this method, the portion of the facility cost that new development will use is divided by the number of new units that the facility will serve. Incremental Expansion Impact Fee Calculation Impact fees can be used for expanding facilities to serve new development such as expanding the facilities in the existing parks. For this method the current level of service is calculated as well as the replacement cost of the improvements. The City will charge the same cost as it would for replacement, however the money would not be used for replacement, but for expansion of the improvements to provide for new development. POLICE The Police impact fees were calculated using all three methods. The plan -based method was used for a new police substation, the cost recovery method was used for the main headquarters and the incremental expansion method was used for new patrol cars. Police impact fee revenue from new growth is expected to total approximately $1.3 million over the next sixteen years or approximately $83,500 annually. FIRE The Fire impact fees were calculated using the plan -based and cost recovery methods. The plan -based method was used for the relocation and expansion of Station 34 as well as the construction of one additional station and associated apparatus. The cost recovery method was used for Station 31 and the fire apparatus. Fire impact fee revenue from new growth is expected to total approximately $530,000 over the next sixteen years, or approximately $33,000 annually. PARKS AND RECREATION The Parks and Recreation impact fees were calculated using an incremental expansion methodology. The City has limited open space and is limited to expanding facilities at the existing parks. The impact fee revenue must be used to provide additional improvements and can not be used to replace or rehabilitate existing improvements. Parks and Recreation impact fee revenue from new growth is expected to total approximately $1.716 million over the next sixteen years, or approximately $107,000 annually. LIBRARY The Library impact fees were calculated using a plan -based approach based on the new library. The impact fee revenue from new growth is expected to total approximately $344,600 over the next sixteen years or approximately $21,500 annually. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION • The fees must be spent in a timely manner (5 years or a report must be filed stating what the fees will be spent on and why they can't be spent immediately). • Facilities funded by the fees must serve the development that paid the fees. • The fees do not become effective for 60 days after they are adopted. • The developer can pay the fees at permit issuance or at the certificate of occupancy. • The fees must be kept separate from the General Fund. • The City must report on each year on the account balances. • The fees should be adjusted annually based on the cost of construction increases. RESOLUTION NO. 2005 — RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY APPROVING AND ADOPTING THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY "DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE STUDY", AND THE IMPACT FEE SCHEDULE — 2005, AND ESTABLISHING DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES FOR ALL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of National City caused to be prepared the National City "Development Impact Fee Study"; and WHEREAS, on February 1, 2005, the City Council held a noticed public hearing, at which time public comments and other oral and documentary evidence was received and considered with respect to the adoption of the City of National City "Development Impact Fee Study" dated January 11, 2005, (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Development Impact Fee Study"); and WHEREAS, the City Council finds as follows: A. The "Development Impact Fee Study" complies with California Government Code Section 66001 by establishing the basis for imposition of fees on new development. In particular, the "Development Impact Fee Study": 1. Identifies the purpose of the fee. 2. Identifies the use to which the fee will be put. 3. Shows a reasonable relationship between the fee's use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed. 4. Shows a reasonable relationship between the needfor the public facility and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed. 5. Shows a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the public facility or portion of the public facility attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed. B. The fees collected pursuant to this Resolution shall be used to finance the public facilities described or identified in the "Development Impact Fee Study". C. After considering the specific project descriptions and cost estimates identified in the "Development Impact Fee Study", the Council approves such project descriptions and cost estimates, and finds them reasonable as the basis for calculating and imposing certain development impact fees. D. The projects and fee methodology identified in the "Development Impact Fee Study" are consistent with the City's General Plan. Resolution No. 2005 — February 1, 2005 Page Two E.

The General Plan Amendment is being processed pursuant to Chapter 18.112 (Amendments) of the City's Municipal Code. Additionally, a Program Environmental Impact Report has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act to evaluate the potential environmental impacts that could occur with the approval and implementation of the proposed National City Downtown Specific Plan. A Supplemental Staff Report has been prepared and attached to provide more information on the proposed National City Downtown Specific Plan. A Public Notice was published in the National City Star News and The Daily Transcript on November 26, 2004, and mailed to the surrounding property owners. The public hearing was opened on December 7, 2004 and continued to February 1, 2005 pursuant to the requirements of the California Government Code. A new public notice was not required since the public hearing was continued to a date specific. r Environmental Review N/A On February 1, 2005, the Community Development Commission, as the Lead Agency, will consider the certification of the Program Environmental Impact Report for the proposed National City Downtown Specific Plan pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act. Financial Statement There will be no fiscal impact to the City's General Fund as a result of this action. ti STAFF RECOMMENDATION Conduct the continued public hearing. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION On November 1, 2004, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing; and recommended that the City Council approve the National City Downtown Specific Plan. ATTACHMENTS (Listed Below) Supplemental Staff Report (with Attachments 1,2,3) Resolution No. 1 SUPPLEMENTAL STAFF REPORT SPECIFIC PLAN FOR RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL AND MIXED -USE DEVELOPMENT IN DOWNTOWN NATIONAL CITY AND RELATED AMENDMENT TO THE GENERAL PLAN (Case File No.: GP-2004-4/SP-2004-2) SUMMARY On October 5, 2004, at the request of the Community Development Commission of the City of National City, the City Council approved a Minute Action authorizing the initiation of the proposed General Plan Amendment as part of the adoption process for the proposed National City Downtown Specific Plan. Subsequently, on November 1, 2004, the Planning Commission conducted a Public Hearing and forwarded a recommendation of approval to the City Council. The National City Downtown Specific Plan (the "Downtown Specific Plan") includes the area generally bound by 16`h Street on the south, Interstate 5 on the west, Division Street on the north and "D" Avenue on the east, and comprises approximately 135 acres (the "Project Area"). The Downtown Specific Plan is the planning document that would allow the City of National City and the Community Development Commission to upgrade and improve the Project Area consistent with the Downtown Specific Plan. The preparation of this Downtown Specific Plan is the culmination of numerous community workshops and meetings involving the input from area residents, business owners, stakeholders, and the development profession. The Community Development Commission proposes to encourage both public and private rehabilitation and development within the Project Area to reduce and eliminate blight and improve the economic viability of the community. The proposed Downtown Specific Plan and amendment to the General Plan would add land use and development standards within the Project Area, and incorporate new design guidelines in order to facilitate the revitalization of the City's Downtown. Additionally, the Downtown Specific Plan establishes the development review process to be followed by future projects. In summary, the Downtown Specific Plan would be the governing zoning/land use document to regulate all new development within the Project Area. The adoption of the Downtown Specific Plan would also result in a change to the City's Supplemental Zoning Map. This would add the Specific Plan Combining Zone (overlay designation) for the downtown area. A public hearing will also be conducted, on February 1, 2005, for the Community Development Commission Board to consider the approval of the Downtown Specific Plan and the certification of the Program Environmental Impact Report. 1 REGULATORY AUTHORITY The Downtown Specific Plan has been prepared pursuant to the regulations of Sections 65450 to 65457 of the California Government Code, which have been adopted and incorporated under Section 18.08.030 of the City's Municipal Code. Correspondingly, the General Plan Amendment is being processed pursuant to Chapter 18.112 (Amendments) of the City's Municipal Code. The Downtown Specific Plan has also been prepared in order to comply with and implement the following policies of the City's General Plan: ✓ New development in National City will occur in a planned and orderly manner, will be of the highest possible quality and most appropriate to the needs of the community, and will enhance and complement surrounding uses. (Urban Development — Page 10) ✓ The City will encourage privately initiated redevelopment efforts in residential, commercial and industrial areas of National City, and will utilize public redevelopment resources where necessary to stimulate and leverage private investment. (Urban Development — Page 11) ✓ Encourage the preparation and implementation of specific plans to guide development in areas that have particular importance due to their location, characteristics, or potential for new development. (Urban Development — Page 14) ✓ Continue Redevelopment activities in the area at National City Boulevard & 8`h Street (Downtown) and elsewhere in the City, where public involvement is deemed necessary to stimulate private investment. (Urban Development — Page 15) ✓ Continue to encourage the construction of residential and mixed -use projects, subject to the Design Guidelines, in commercially zoned areas. (Housing — Page 25) ✓ Review commercially zoned land for possible change to residential or mixed residential/commercial use. (Housing — Page 31) ✓ Consider changes to mixed -use regulations to limit higher densities to areas near commercial uses and major roadways, while restricting densities in areas primarily built with single-family homes. (Housing — Page 33) ✓ Implement Redevelopment program plans to stimulate new, varied commercial and related development in the Downtown National City Boulevard/8`h Street area, and to revitalize the surrounding business district. (Economic Development — Page 40) NATIONAL CITY DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN The Community Development Commission of the City of National City has drawn its attention to the Renaissance of the downtown area as a juncture of favorable circumstances. This vision commences with the creation of the National City Downtown Specific Plan. The downtown area is envisioned to be a desirable and attractive destination to live, invest and thrive through the implementation of innovative policies, standards and procedures which in turn would generate a vibrant catalyst for further redevelopment and the full revitalization of Downtown National City. 2 The Downtown Specific Plan is comprised of ten (10) sections, summarized as follows: ❖ Introduction sets the tone and outlines the philosophies of the plan. This would encourage the spirit for developers to meet the intent of the plan. This would result in projects with innovative and superior urban designs. ❖ Downtown Profile and Characteristics provides a community profile of the downtown area and information to help understand the marketplace and recognize the types of projects that have the greatest opportunities. ❖ Regulatory Authority provides is a summary of the regulations that, pursuant to Sections 65450 to 65457 of the California Government Code, the City shall comply with in the adoption of the Downtown Specific Plan. ❖ Land Use Regulations and Development Standards are a series of specific standards for each of the seventeen (17) Development Zones, as summarized in the following table. Through the adoption of the Downtown Specific Plan as an overlay zone, the list of prohibited uses would be expanded for the existing underlying base zones. While the Downtown Specific Plan has been prepared to regulate all new developments and the revitalization/rehabilitation of existing buildings and structures, it is also intended that any non -conforming uses would be subject to the provisions pursuant to Chapter 18.108 (Non -Conforming Uses) of the City's Municipal Code.

The role of the Community Development Commission is to review proposals to ensure consistency with the Downtown Specific Plan. Proposals requiring a discretionary action, such as a Conditional Use Permit, would continue to require the review by the Planning Commission. The existing underlying base zones would be utilized for the review of a change of occupancy within an existing building or structure. z ❖ Urban Design. Guidelines are the strategies to enhance the corridors and create central gathering places in the downtown area. ❖ Future Implementation Programs to be explored by the City and Community Development Commission, including the creation of future improvement districts within the downtown area. ❖ Future Public Improvement Projects to be initiated by the City and Community Development Commission, including the implementation of a streetscape master plan for the downtown area. ❖ Traffic Assessment Summary prepared by the Community Development Commission's traffic consultant (Katz, Okitsu & Associates) to provide a description of the existing conditions throughout the downtown area in order to provide background information for the visioning process. Additionally, a discussion of future conditions and potential planned improvements are provided. ❖ Environmental Impact Report Executive Summary prepared by the Community Development Commission's environmental consultant (Phil Martin & Associates) to provide a discussion of the environmental assessments that were conducted, pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, to evaluate any potential environmental impacts that may be created through the implementation of the Downtown Specific Plan. RELATIONSHIP TO THE GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING CODE The intent of the Downtown Specific Plan is to reinforce the downtown as the civic center, hub of commercial commerce, attraction to modern living, and heart of National City. All new developments and the revitalization/rehabilitation of existing buildings and structures within the downtown area would be governed by the Downtown Specific Plan and the City's General Plan. The Downtown Specific Plan land use designations, development standards, design guidelines, and development review procedures will be incorporated by reference in the General Plan. Where there is a conflict with the City's Land Use Code the Downtown Specific Plan shall take precedent. Where the Downtown Specific Plan is silent on issues, the Land Use Code shall be the governing document. The Land Use Code states the authority for an adopted specific plan to override Code requirements. 5 The Downtown Specific Plan must conform with the City's General Plan. The proposed General Plan Amendment would add the following policy (to be inserted in Chapter II — Overall Urban Framework, on page 13, as Policy AB): The Downtown shall be reinforced as the City's heart, civic center, and commercial hub. To accomplish this a specific plan should be drafted encouraging intensive commercial, residential and mixed -use, pedestrian -oriented development. Development standards of the specific plan may involve taller structures and higher densities, as well as require lesser setbacks and fewer on -site parking spaces, relative to other areas of the City. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW A Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has been prepared for the Community Development Commission, pursuant to the requirements of the Califomia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), to evaluate the potential environmental impacts that could occur with the approval and implementation of the Downtown Specific Plan. An Executive Summary has been provided (please see Attachment No. 1) as an overview of the analysis conducted. Accordingly, on September 15, 2004, the Notice of Completion was prepared and filed with the State Clearinghouse of the Governor's Office of Planning and Research. The mandatory 45-day public review period commenced on September 17, 2004, and ended on November 1, 2004, at 5:00 p.m. No public comments on the EIR have been received. The intent of the EIR is to address, as thoroughly as possible and without speculation, the potential environmental impacts that could be expected to occur with the implementation of the Downtown Specific Plan based on the information available at this time. The Downtown Specific Plan does not include any recommended or proposed projects or identify and specific development sites. However, individual projects within the Project Area are anticipated in the future. Therefore, the EIR has been prepared with the intent that, if future projects comply with the development standards provided in the Downtown Specific Plan, subsequent environmental analysis pursuant to CEQA will not be required. Likewise, if any future projects do not comply with the Downtown Specific Plan subsequent environmental analysis will be required pursuant to CEQA in conjunction with the approval process. The Community Development Commission has made a reasonable and good faith effort to mitigate potential impacts resulting from the implementation of the Downtown Specific Plan. Changes and alterations have been incorporated into the Downtown Specific Plan that will substantially lessen or avoid significant environmental impacts as identified in the EIR. Additionally, a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program has been prepared for the Downtown Specific Plan which outlines how the mitigation measures will be implemented, monitored and evaluated (please see Attachment No. 2). The benefits of the proposed project have been balanced against and outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental impacts identified in the Draft EIR. The Community Development Commission will consider making the following Findings of Facts and Statement of Overriding Considerations (please see Attachment No. 3). The following project -specific and cumulative impacts of the Downtown Specific Plan are considered significant and unavoidable based on the Draft EIR, Final EIR, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and the findings discussed previously: 1. The project will contribute to cumulative noise level increases and subsequent unavoidable noise impacts. 2. The project will contribute to cumulative air quality impacts in the San Diego Air Basin. The Community Development Commission, acting pursuant to Section 15093 of the State CEQA Guidelines, will also consider finding that for the reasons set forth below, the economic, social, and other benefits of the project outweigh the unavoidable noise and air quality impacts identified in the findings. In making this finding, the Community Development Commission will balance the benefits of the proposed project against its unavoidable environmental impacts and will indicate its willingness to accept those risks. In part, the project will provide the following benefits: 1. Increase retail sales and property tax for the City and the CDC. 2. Provide additional residential homes for the City of National City, which are needed. 3. Reduce and/or eliminate existing blighted conditions. 4. Enhance and improve the character and visual appearance of the downtown area and further strengthen the commercial and social activity in the downtown. RECOMMENDED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL Staff recommends that the City Council consider the following findings for approval and approve findings 2, 3 and 4: 1. The Community Development Commission will certify the Program Environmental Impact Report, adopt the Findings of Facts and Statement of Overriding Considerations, and approve the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. 2. The amendment to the General Plan and adoption of the Downtown Specific Plan, which would allow for revitalization of the downtown area through the implementation of new land use and development standards, design guidelines, and development review procedures, is in the public interest and is consistent with General Plan policies due to the fact that the National City Downtown Specific Plan would facilitate the transformation of the downtown area into a vibrant core community. 3. The amendment to the General Plan and adoption of the Downtown Specific Plan would not affect the City's certified Housing Element in which National City shall comply with the provisions of Article 10.6 of the California Government Code, including addressing the needs of all income levels, and due to the fact that no governmental constraints have been approved by the National City Downtown Specific Plan that would limit construction on the properties affordable to all household income levels. 4. The proposed Downtown Specific Plan conforms to the proposed General Plan policy which calls for the reinforcement of the Downtown d as the City's heart, civic center, and commercial hub; by encouraging intensive commercial, residential and mixed -use, pedestrian -oriented development; and containing development standards that involve taller structures and higher densities, and also require lesser setbacks and fewer on -site parking spaces, relative to other areas of the City. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Executive Summary — Program Environmental Impact Report 2. Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program 3. Findings of Facts and Statement of Overriding Considerations S Accomplishments: Accounting: ✓ Re -vamped Community Development Commission Annual Budget to contain project details ✓ Reorganized the CDC and created the following divisions within the CDC: Redevelopment, Economic Development & Finance/Administration. This has created a top down approach to management which has been more effective in responding to public and internal responses. ✓ Put together full cost accounting of the Nutrition Center ✓ Worked closely with City Finance on coordinating audit and other accounting related issues. ✓ Recommend ✓ Bonded $5 million to finance the gap for the fire station, the public library and the National City arts center ✓ Refunded the 2001 variable rate bonds to a fixed rate. This involved terminating the interest rate SWAP that was entered into during fiscal year 2003. The result of the SWAP termination was a payment to the CDC of $940,000 for Series A and B respectively. In addition, the CDC received a refund of the Interest Rate Cap that was purchased in 2001. The amount of the refund was $x. ✓ Cleaned up the accounting processes to allow for more useful accounting reports. ✓ As a direct result of the bond refunding, the CDC has re -visited the pass through agreement with the County of San Diego. The pass through agreement with the County was re -negotiated in 1995. At that time, AB1290 was implemented which made a portion of the pass through agreement illegal. ✓ Took legal action to force Friendly Daycare Center to pay outstanding debt to the CDC ✓ Uncovered accounting issues that date back to 1999 and identified appropriate action to implement remedial action (example: Section 8 operating expenses covered with Redevelopment Funds that were not reimbursed to the Agency) Human Resources/Administration: ✓ Took appropriate action to terminate an employee for misconduct ✓ Training for CDC staff on Professionalism in the Workplace, Uses of Bonds, Organizational Assessment In progress: ✓ Transition from Union Bank to Wells Fargo Bank — anticipate completion by July 2005 ✓ Implementation of the Contract Management Module in Eden Accounting System. This will allow for more effective project management and monitoring of CDC projects. ✓ Update CDC personnel manual Future: ✓ Continues review and improvement of CDC budgets ✓ Fiscal reporting to CDC Commission on a quarterly basis `1 0 2.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2.1 PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL SUMMARY The purpose of the Executive Summary is to provide the reader with a summary of the potential environmental project impacts and suggested mitigation measures, if any, that may be associated with adoption and implementation of the proposed National City Downtown Specific Plan. For a complete discussion, it is suggested the reader refer to the text of the PEIR, which addresses potential project impacts, issues and proposed mitigation measures in more detail. The summary of the potential project impacts and recommended mitigation measures as discussed in the PEIR is presented below. Project Summary 2.1.1 LAND USE/ PLANNING Project Impacts The Downtown Specific Plan conforms to all of the policies of the General Plan in terms of promoting sensible infill development and transitioning between residential and commercial uses. The Specific Plan does not conflict with any land use policies of the General Plan. The Specific Plan proposes to change the existing land uses and increase the number of residential units allowed in the Project Area and decrease the amount of commercial and light industrial land use. The adoption of the Specific Plan will require an amendment to the City's General Plan and zoning code. The Project Area is located in a redevelopment area and CDC has the authority to use eminent domain to acquire non-residential property in specific areas. The use of redevelopment funds to assist in the acquisition of properties, assemble parcels, construct infrastructure improvements, etc. will have a positive land use impact towards implementing the Specific Plan. The Specific Plan will encourage new development and remove blight by demolishing buildings, constructing new buildings, upgrading existing buildings to meet current building and fire codes, etc., which will have positive land use effects for the community as a whole. The Specific Plan will have positive impacts by encouraging the private community, City, and CDC to upgrade and improve the physical appearance of the Project Area. The adoption of the Specific Plan will not have any significant direct land use impacts based on the land use threshold criteria. The City will evaluate all future private and public projects for potential land use impacts at the time development plans are submitted for approval for compliance with the Specific Plan. Mitigation Measures There will be no significant land use impacts with the adoption and implementation of the Downtown Specific Plan. Therefore, no mitigation measures are required by CEQA. National City Downtown Specific Plan Program EIR Attachment 1 September 2004 Pagel Significance After Mitigation No significant land use impacts are anticipated with adoption and implementation of the Specific Plan. 2.1.2 GEOLOGY/SOILS Project Impacts As with any projects in National City, future development will be exposed to geologic hazards and seismic activity due to active faults that affect National City, including the Project Area. Seismic hardware and construction in compliance with the building code can mitigate impacts due to seismic activity. The incorporation of erosion control measures into future projects will minimize soil erosion impacts. Earthquake induced ground failure such as liquefaction and differential settlement will not impact development in the Project Area. National City follows state regulations and has programs to protect property and residents from geologic hazards. Implementation of these programs relative to the geologic and seismic constraints of development will reduce impacts to a level of insignificance. Since specific development plans for future private as well as public improvement projects are not available at this time it is speculative to identify with any accuracy the direct and indirect soils and geologic impacts that may occur with their construction. The City will determine if additional environmental analysis will be required for compliance with CEQA at the time plans for projects are submitted for approval. Additional environmental analysis to evaluate direct and indirect soil and geologic impacts will be required, if necessary. Mitigation measures will be provided accordingly to reduce significant impacts pursuant to CEQA and local/state building regulations. Mitigation Measures The following mitigation measure is recommended to reduce potential geologic hazard and soil erosion impacts associated with the construction of future public and private projects. 1. Prior to the issuance of a final grading permit a detailed geotechnical investigation shall be approved by the City. The investigation shall include fieldwork (e.g., subsurface exploration, sampling) and laboratory analysis as directed by the City to determine the exact location and extend of potential geologic/seismic hazards. All applicable remedial grading measures and seismic design parameters recommended by the geotechnical engineer shall be incorporated into the project and shown on the final grading plans and/or incorporated into contractor specifications prior to award of construction contracts, to the satisfaction of the City. Significance After Mitigation No significant geology/soils impacts are anticipated with the adoption and implementation of the Specific Plan and incorporation of the recommended mitigation measure. National City Downtown Specific Plan Program EIR September 2004 Page 1 2 2.1.3 TRAFFIC AND CIRCULATION Project Impacts Based on the threshold criteria the adoption and implementation of the Specific Plan will impact key intersections in the Project Area and require mitigation: Main Street at Yama/I-5 Southbound Off ramp (PM: LOS F); Main Street at Division Street (PM: LOS F); National City Blvd at Division Street (AM: LOS F); I-5 South Ramps at 8th Street (AM, PM: LOS F); National City Boulevard at 8`h Street (AM, PM: LOS F); National City Boulevard at Plaza Boulevard (AM: LOS E); and I-5 Northbound Onramp at Civic Center Drive (AM, PM: LOS F). Specific Plan traffic will not impact Interstate 5. The proposed parking space requirements are 1.2 spaces per residential unit and 2.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet of floor space for non-residential use. The proposed parking requirements are anticipated to be adequate to serve development allowed by the Specific Plan. Mitigation Measures The following mitigation measures are recommended to reduce impacts to intersections to level of service D. These improvements shall be installed prior to build -out of the Specific Plan or as warranted by the City, whichever is first. 1. Re -stripe the intersection of Main Street at Yamall-5 southbound off ramp to include two left -turn lanes and a shared through right-tum land for the southbound approach. The improvements shall be coordinated with the City of San Diego and Caltrans. 2. A traffic signal shall be installed at the intersection of Main Street and Division Street. 3. A traffic signal shall be installed at the intersection of National City Boulevard and Division Street. 4. A traffic signal shall be installed at the intersection of I-5 southbound off ramps and 8th Street. 5. Re -stripe the intersection of I-5 northbound on -ramp at Civic Center Drive to include a left -turn pocket for the northbound approach. 6. Provide bicycle racks when feasible to encourage the use of bicycles. 7. Promote ride -sharing programs for the businesses in the Project Area. 8. National City Transit District shall be notified in writing at least one week prior to the start of construction of any public or private project that will impact an existing bus stop/bus shelter to allow National City Transit District adequate time to provide a temporary bus stop/bus shelter. Significance After Mitigation There will be no significant traffic and circulation impacts with adoption and implementation of the Specific Plan and incorporation of the recommended mitigation measures. National City Downtown Specific Plan September 2004 Program EIR PageAj 2.1.4 AESTHETICS Project Impacts The Specific Plan design and landscaping guidelines will significantly improve the aesthetics of the Downtown Project Area. The incorporation of the recommended building designs, landscaping, pedestrian amenities to encourage foot -traffic, plaza fountain, etc. will create an improved downtown aesthetic feel. The Downtown Specific Plan should encourage the redevelopment of the downtown area from a mixture of old architecture and design to consistent design throughout the Project Area. The Downtown Specific Plan will have a positive aesthetic impact that may, and is anticipated, to spillover to and have a positive impact to other areas of National City. Construction of hardscape and landscape improvements will significantly improve the aesthetics of the Project Area. All projects, including remodeling of existing buildings as well as new construction, will be reviewed by the City for consistency with the design guidelines of the Specific Plan during the project approval process. Compliance of projects with all applicable design requirements will ensure that development in the Project Area meets the design objectives of the Specific Plan. Mitigation Measures 1. There will be no significant aesthetic impacts with the adoption and implementation of the Downtown Specific Plan. Therefore, no mitigation measures are required by CEQA. Significance After Mitigation No significant aesthetic impacts are anticipated with adoption and implementation of the Specific Plan. 2.1.5 NOISE Project Impacts The development of both public and private projects could increase noise levels in the project vicinity that exceed City adopted noise levels. The development of future projects could increase both short-term (construction) and long-term (operational) noise levels beyond City standards. The increased noise levels could impact noise sensitive land uses (residential). Potential noise impacts could include both interior and exterior noise levels impacts as well as increasing the ambient, or background noise levels beyond City acceptable limits. Because specific development plans of future projects are not available at this time it is speculative to determine project specific noise impacts, including short or long-term impacts. The City will review all future projects for potential noise impacts at the time plans are submitted for approval. When applicable, noise studies will be required to determine whether or not a project will have noise impacts as determined by the City's Noise Control Ordinance. Mitigation measures to reduce noise impacts will be imposed on projects when applicable to meet the noise ordinance and reduce noise impacts to a level of insignificance to comply with CEQA. Based on the National City Downtown Specific Plan Program EIR September 2004 Page / threshold criteria the Specific Plan could have significant noise impacts due to future development in the Project Area. Mitigation Measures Upon evaluation of specific projects by the City, if potential significant noise impacts are anticipated the following measure shall be implemented where appropriate: Temporary Impacts 1. To ensure that construction activities comply with the City's Noise Ordinance a Construction Noise Abatement Plan shall be prepared for each construction project and submitted to the City prior to the issuance of demolition, grading or building permits, whichever is issued first. The Plan shall describe the construction activities, equipment required for those activities, and noise level generation characteristics of the equipment to be used. Noise levels at the closest residential use shall be predicted. If projected noise levels will exceed the Noise Ordinance limits, measures to reduce those levels to comply with the Noise Ordinance shall be described and implemented. Long Term Off -Site Impacts The analysis shows that the project will result in a significant traffic noise impact to residences along Civic Center between Wilson Avenue and Roosevelt Avenue. Further, the project will substantially contribute to significant cumulative traffic noise impacts along D Avenue between 8th Street and Plaza Boulevard, and Plaza Boulevard between Hoover Avenue and D Avenue. Typically sound walls are prescribed to mitigate these impacts. However, in this case, most of the impacted residences front the roadway causing the traffic noise. Building barriers in front of homes is not practical or consistent with the aesthetics and design of the specific plan. Openings would be required to allow access to the streets, which would short-circuit the effectiveness of the noise barriers. The tires interacting with the roadway generate much of the noise generated by traffic. A freshly paved roadway will generally generate substantially lower noise levels than an older worn roadway. However, the reduction in noise levels erodes rather quickly as the new surface is worn. Typically the reduction is completely eliminated within a year. In recent years "low noise" roadway surfaces have been used with success more and more. These surfaces result in lower traffic noise levels than typical roadway surfaces. The question that has lingered is how long the noise reduction qualities exist. Several long-term tests are currently ongoing and indicate that the noise reduction does in fact last over time. The two surfaces most commonly used for their noise reducing qualities are open -graded friction courses (OGFC) and rubberized asphalt. Studies have shown that these surfaces can reduce traffic noise levels by 5 to 10 dB at highway speeds. At lower speeds, the reductions are estimated to be in the 3 to 5 dB range. Use of one of these surfaces on the roadways causing the impacts would almost completely eliminate the projected noise level increases due to the project National City Downtown Specific Plan Program EIR September 2004 Page $ 5" as well as the cumulative increases. To mitigate the significant noise impact caused by increased traffic generated by the project, the following roadway segments should be repaved using OGFC, rubberized asphalt or other roadway surface showing documented long term noise reductions of at least 3 dB; Civic Center between Wilson Avenue and Roosevelt Avenue, D Avenue between 8th Street and Plaza Boulevard, and Plaza Boulevard between Hoover Avenue and D Avenue. In order to reduce vehicular road noise the following mitigation measure is recommended: 2. These roads (Civic Center between Wilson Avenue and Roosevelt Avenue, D Avenue between 8th Street and Plaza Boulevard, and Plaza Boulevard between Hoover Avenue and D Avenue) shall be repaved with the noise reducing surfaces prior to issuance of building permits for the specific project that will result in, cumulatively, more than half of the projected increase in trips resulting from the implementation of the specific plan. Long Term Impacts from On -Site Activities The following long-term noise mitigation measure is recommended: 3. As specific commercial projects are submitted for approval they shall be evaluated for noise generating characteristics, the closeness to any residential uses, and the potential for violations of the City's Noise Ordinance. If City staff determines that a proposed commercial project has the potential to violate the City's Noise Ordinance, a detailed noise assessment shall be required. This assessment shall be prepared by a qualified acoustical engineer and describe the noise generating activities and their characteristics as a noise source. Noise levels shall be predicted at the potentially impacted residences and compared with the Noise Ordinance standards. If an exceedance is found, project specific mitigation measures shall be described to reduce the noise levels to below the Noise Ordinance Standards. The noise report shall be submitted to and approved by the City and all mitigation measure incorporated into the building plans prior to issuance of building permits for the project. Long Term On -Site Impacts The noise analysis presents evidence that the residential uses along National City Boulevard, 8th Street, and Plaza Boulevard would be exposed to noise levels in excess of 65 CNEL. Further, indoor noise levels along these roadways and Roosevelt Avenue could be exposed to interior noise levels in excess of 45 CNEL unless properly designed. The noise mitigation measures recommended below will allow development to meet the indoor and outdoor noise level limits of the city. Outdoor Noise Mitigation 3. Mitigation through the design and construction of a noise barrier (wall, berm, or combination wall/berm) is the most efficient method of reducing outdoor noise exposure levels. The effect of a noise barrier is critically dependent on the geometry between the noise source and the receiver. A noise barrier effect occurs when the National City Downtown Specific Plan Program EIR September 2004 Page S6 barrier breaks the "line of sight" between the source and receiver. The greater the distance the sound must travel around the barrier to reach the receiver, the greater the noise reduction of the barrier. To be effective noise barriers are required to have a surface density of at least 3.5 pounds per square foot with no openings or cracks. It may be a solid wall, an earthen berm, or a combination of the two. The wall may be constructed of wood studs with stucco exterior, 1/4-inch plate glass, 5/8 inch Plexiglas, any masonry material, or a combination of these materials. Wood and other materials may be acceptable if properly designed as a noise barrier. For patios and balconies the barriers must run along the entire edge of the patio or balcony from building face to building face. Based on the projected traffic noise levels, no residential area would require a barrier with a height greater than 9 feet to reduce noise levels to below 65 CNEL. Typically 5 to 6 foot high barriers will adequately reduce traffic noise levels within the specific plan boundary. However, as no specific projects are proposed the specific locations of any private outdoor living areas are not known. Additionally, final grading plans are required to determine the final barrier heights and ensure compliance with the appropriate standard. The above analysis shows that this standard is achievable with feasible barrier heights. To ensure that residential projects proposed for the project area achieve the 65 CNEL standard, City Staff shall review the preliminary designs to determine if any private outdoor living areas are potentially exposed to noise levels in excess of 65 CNEL. Prior to the issuance of grading permits for any residential area with outdoor living areas potentially exposed to noise levels in excess of 65 CNEL, as determined by the City, a detailed acoustical study shall be prepared by a qualified acoustical consultant and submitted to the City. This report shall describe and quantify the noise sources impacting the area and the measures required to meet the 65 CNEL exterior residential noise standard. The measures described in the report shall be incorporated into the grading and building plans, as appropriate. Indoor Noise Mitigation 4. New residential uses within the project area will be exposed to noise levels no higher than 76 CNEL. This means that the building structures will need to achieve up to 31 dB of outdoor -to -indoor noise reduction. This level of noise reduction is achievable, but will likely require substantial building upgrades. Most residential uses will not be exposed to noise levels in excess of 69 CNEL, which will require up to a 24 dB outdoor -to -indoor noise reduction. In some cases standard construction will achieve this level of reduction, however, residences along major roadways may require upgraded windows to achieve the required outdoor to indoor noise reduction. With typical residential construction at least 20 dB of outdoor -to -indoor noise reduction is achieved with windows closed. With windows open outdoor -to -indoor noise reduction falls to 12 dBA. Therefore, units requiring more than 12 dB of noise National City Downtown Specific Plan September 2004 Program EIR Page i,B �% reduction require adequate ventilation per the Uniform Building Code to allow windows to remain closed. Typically this is provided through mechanical ventilation. Windows do not need to be sealed shut, but closeable at the occupants' discretion. Units along National City Boulevard, 8th Street, Plaza Boulevard, and Roosevelt Avenue will require more than 12 dB of noise reduction and mechanical ventilation. With extensive building upgrades, outdoor -to -indoor noise reductions of up to 32 dB can be achieved. All residences require 32 dB or less of outdoor -to -indoor noise reduction. Therefore, the homes in the project will be able to meet the 45 CNEL interior noise standards. Architectural drawings for the homes are not currently available to analyze the actual noise reduction achieved. Prior to issuance of building permits for residential units located along National City Boulevard, 8th Street, Plaza Boulevard, and Roosevelt Avenue, a detailed acoustical study shall be prepared by a qualified acoustical consultant and submitted to the City. This report shall describe and quantify the noise sources impacting the building(s) and the measures required to meet the 45 CNEL interior noise standard. The measures described in the report shall be incorporated into the building plans. Commercial uses located within the 70 CNEL contour from the I-5 Freeway will require up to 26 dBA of outdoor -to -indoor noise reduction to meet the 50 CNEL office interior noise standard. Prior to issuance of building permits for commercial projects units located within the 70 CNEL I-5 Freeway noise contour as shown in Exhibit 6, a detailed acoustical study shall be prepared by a qualified acoustical consultant and submitted to the City. This report shall describe and quantify the noise sources impacting the building(s) and the measures required to meet the 50 CNEL office and/or 55 CNEL retail interior noise standards. The measures described in the report shall be incorporated into the building plans. Significance After Mitigation Repaving the roadways with specialized surfaces to reduce traffic noise levels is the only practical way to eliminate the noise impacts from increased traffic generated by the project. While the repaving of the roadway segments where significant project and cumulative noise impacts are projected is expected to eliminate the traffic noise level increases experienced at the affected residences, there is some uncertainty in exactly how much noise reduction will be experienced and how long that reduction will exist. Because of this uncertainty and the lack of other methods to mitigate the impacts, the significant project and cumulative off -site traffic noise impacts are considered unavoidable. National City Downtown Specific Plan September 2004 Program EIR Page yt 2.1.6 AIR QUALITY Project Impacts The adoption and implementation of the Specific Plan will have both short and long-term air emission impacts and contribute to air quality in the San Diego Air Basin. Based on air quality modeling conducted for build -out of the Specific Plan it is not anticipated that future development will exceed any established air quality emission thresholds. However, because specific development projects are not proposed at this time, future projects could emit emissions that exceed air quality thresholds at that time. The City will evaluate all projects for potential air quality impacts at the time plans are submitted for approval. Measures to reduce air emissions will be incorporated when required to reduce both short and long-term air quality impacts for compliance with air emission thresholds enforced by SDAPCD. Mitigation measures are recommended that can be incorporated into the future projects to reduce air emissions, if they could exceed adopted emission thresholds. Mitigation Measures The following mitigation measures are recommended for incorporation into future projects to further reduce air emissions. Short Term Construction If air quality impacts associated with construction of an approved project exceed the significance thresholds, mitigation measures identified below should be implemented as feasible to reduce emissions of the project. Mitigation measures from the SCAQMD are presented below and are recommended for projects in the SDAB, where applicable. The following measures are recommended to reduce pollutant emissions from construction activities. The construction operators shall implement these measures. • Use water trucks to keep all areas where vehicles move damp enough to prevent dust raised when traveling on the site; • Wet down the site in the late morning and after work is completed for the day; • After construction, wet inactive areas down to reduce windblown dust; • Employ street sweeping, should silt be carried over to adjacent public roadways; Wash off trucks leaving the site; • Reestablish ground cover on the construction site through seeding and watering on portions of the site that will not be disturbed for lengthy periods (such as two months or more); • Maintain construction equipment engines by keeping them tuned; and • Reduce traffic speeds on all unpaved road surfaces to 15 miles per hour or less. Long Term The most significant reductions in regional and local air pollutant emissions are attainable through programs, which reduce the vehicular travel associated with the project. Support and compliance with the RAQS for the basin is the most important measure to achieve this goal. The RAQS includes improvement of mass transit facilities and implementation of vehicular usage National City Downtown Specific Plan Program EIR September 2004 Page f reduction programs. Additionally, energy conservation measures are included. None of these recommended mitigation measures are strictly required. However, all relevant measures should be applied to the greatest extent possible. TDM Measures • Schedule truck deliveries and pickups for commercial uses during off-peak hours when feasible. This will alleviate traffic congestion, therefore, emissions during the peak hour. • Provide adequate ingress and egress at all entrances to public facilities to minimize vehicle idling at curbsides. Presumably, this measure would improve traffic flow into and out of the parking lot. The air quality benefits are incalculable because more specific data is required. • Provide dedicated turn lanes as appropriate and provide roadway improvements at heavily congested roadways. Again, the areas where this measure would be applicable are the intersections in and near the project area. Presumably, these measures would improve traffic flow. Emissions would drop as a result of the higher traffic speeds, but to an unknown extent. • Provide on -site services. Provide incentives such as on -site ATMs and other similar measures that address lifestyle needs. These measures reduce the VMT, but the air quality benefit cannot be quantified because more specific data is required. Energy Efficiency Measures and Additional Measures • Compliance with Title 24, Part 6, California's Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Nonresidential Buildings. All buildings must comply with Title 24, Part 6. Reducing the need to heat or cool structures by improving thermal integrity will result in a reduced expenditure of energy and a reduction in pollutant emissions. • Develop operational emissions mitigation plan. Prior to approval of each building permit for a commercial or office use, the applicant shall submit to the Director of Planning for approval, an operational emissions mitigation plan. The plan shall identify implementation procedures for each of the following emissions reduction measures. If certain measures are determined infeasible, an explanation thereof shall be provided in the operational emissions mitigation plan. o Utilize built-in energy -efficient appliances to reduce energy consumption and emissions. o Utilize energy -efficient and automated controls for air conditioners and lighting to reduce electricity consumption and associated emissions. • Develop plans to facilitate walking and use of bicycles. Prior to approval of each tentative tract map, the Applicant shall submit to the Director of Community Development for approval, a plan showing pedestrian/bicycle trails that facilitate connections to public National City Downtown Specific Plan Program EIR September 2004 Page J/5 10 facilities such as schools, parks, and regional trails, as well as between residential neighborhoods. o Where possible, connect residential areas to public facilities, parks, regional trails and other residential neighborhoods with pedestrian/bicycle trails. o Where possible, connect commercial areas to adjacent residential areas via bike/walking paths. Coordinate with SDTC regarding the location of bus turnouts and bus routes within the project area. Significance After Mitigation As discussed above, specific development projects are not proposed as part of the specific plan. Because of this, it is speculative and not possible to produce reasonable estimates of construction related emissions. It is highly probable that emissions from some projects that will be developed as a result of the Specific Plan will generate construction emissions in excess of the significance thresholds. The short-term construction emissions can be reduced to some extent by the mitigation measures described above. However, it is probable that some construction emissions would still be in excess of the significance thresholds with mitigation. Therefore, short-term construction emissions associated with the project are considered unavoidable and adverse. Regional Impacts The long-term regional air quality impact due to the proposed project will be reduced to an extent with the mitigation measures described above. However, the amount of reduction cannot be quantified. The CO emissions increase due to the project would most likely remain above the significance thresholds even with incorporation of the recommended mitigation measures. Therefore, CO emission increases resulting from the project are considered unavoidable and adverse. Local Air Quality Impacts The CO emissions are projected to be in compliance with the 1-hour and 8-hour state and federal standards, therefore, the CO impacts are not considered to be significant. 2.1.7 HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS Project Impacts The Downtown Specific Plan will not directly create a significant potential public health hazard or involve the use, manufacture, or disposal of materials that will pose a hazard to people and planned populations. The adoption and implementation of the Specific Plan will encourage the development of both public and private projects in the Project Area. It is speculative, however to determine if the Specific Plan could expose humans to significant health hazards if hazardous National City Downtown Specific Plan September 2004 Program EIR Page j,4 11 materials have been spilled. The development of sites that used hazardous materials in the past could expose the public or the environment to hazards due to the development of such sites. All properties proposed for development with spilled hazardous materials will have to comply with all applicable local, county, state and federal laws regarding the remediation of the hazardous materials prior to development. The Specific Plan will not change the requirements to remediate contaminated properties prior to development. Assistance by the Community Development Commission to construct public or private projects will not change or alter any local, county, State or federal requirements to remove hazardous materials in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Based on the threshold criteria, the Downtown Specific Plan will encourage development of property in the Project Area. It is possible that some sites in the Project Area may be contaminated with hazardous materials and result in significant adverse hazards and hazardous material impacts to the public or the environment. Mitigation Measures The following measures are recommended to mitigate potential hazardous material impacts of development in the Project Area with the adoption and implementation of the Specific Plan: 1. Prior to development of any property that was formerly occupied by or adjacent to existing facilities that used or stored hazardous materials, a detailed Phase I Environmental Site Assessment shall be approved by the City of National City to evaluate the potential for soil and groundwater contamination. If warranted by the Phase 1 environmental site assessment, soil and possibly groundwater sampling shall be required. 2. Asbestos, mercury, and a lead -based paint survey of existing buildings shall be conducted prior to any renovation or demolition activities to the satisfaction of the City. 3. Prior to issuance of a grading permit for any property where the results of the Phase I, Phase 11, and/or asbestos, mercury, or lead -based paint evaluation indicates the presence of these materials or the potential for hazardous materials at levels requiring mitigation, all remedial measures identified in the studies shall be shown on the face of the grading plans and/or incorporated into contractor specifications prior to awarding the construction contract or issuance of a demolition permit, whichever is first. All remedial measures required by law shall be implemented and completed prior to the issuance of grading or building permits, whichever is issued first. Significance After Mitigation There will be no significant hazardous waste impacts with adoption and implementation of the Specific Plan and implementation of the recommended mitigation measures. National City Downtown Specific Plan September 2004 Program EIR Page 113 /2 2.1.8 POPULATION AND HOUSING Project Impacts The Specific Plan will allow an increase in the number of residential units that can be constructed in the Project Area beyond the number currently allowed by the General Plan. An increase in the number of housing units that can be provided to the residents of National City will allow the City to provide a range of housing types towards meeting more of the housing needs of the community. In addition, because the Project Area is in a redevelopment project area the Community Development Commission has the legal authority to assist to provide financial assistance to upgrade, improve and provide additional residential housing, including low and moderate housing, which will be a positive impact for the community. The Specific Plan will require the City to adjust its projected housing and population projections to reflect the increase in the number of residential units. The Specific Plan will not require a displacement of a large number of people, rather it will allow construction of increased housing units to meet some of the current housing need in National City. The commercial and light industrial development proposed by the Specific Plan is less than allowed by the existing general plan, thus the project will not create a substantial demand for additional housing. Based on the threshold criteria the Specific Plan will not have a significant housing or population impact. Although the Downtown Specific Plan will increase the overall number of residential units allowed in National City, the City will adjust its housing and population projections accordingly during the upcoming Housing Element update. Mitigation Measures The Specific Plan will not have any significant housing or population impacts, therefore, no mitigation measures are required. Significance After Mitigation No significant population or housing impacts are anticipated with adoption and implementation of the Specific Plan. 2.1.9 CULTURAL RESOURCES Project Impacts Based on the threshold criteria, the Specific Plan will not impact any national or local historical resources. The Specific Plan does not propose to demolish or remodel any of the buildings in the Project Area that are registered as national or local historic structures. Mitigation Measures Since no significant cultural resource impacts have been identified no mitigation measures are required. National City Downtown Specific Plan September 2004 Program EIR Page j.45 13 Significance After Mitigation No significant impacts to cultural resources are anticipated with adoption and implementation of the Specific Plan. 2.1.10 PUBLIC SERVICES Water Service Project Impacts The Specific Plan will encourage development that may increase the demand for potable water for drinking, fire suppression, and landscape maintenance. New development and/or redevelopment could require upgrades to the existing distribution system in order for development to have an adequate supply of water. The construction of upgrades to the existing water distribution system could have construction impacts, which will have to be specifically identified at the time water improvement plans are submitted for approval. The City, in conjunction with the Sweetwater Authority, will determine whether or not an adequate supply of water can be provided at the time development plans are submitted for approval. The Sweetwater Authority may require improvements to the existing water distribution system in order for a project to have an adequate supply of water. Projects will be required to incorporate all state mandated water conservation measures as applicable to reduce water consumption. The incorporation of state mandated as well as suggested water conservation measures will reduce water impacts to less than significant. Mitigation Measures The following mitigation measures are recommended to reduce water consumption impacts: 1. All water utility plans shall be approved by the Sweetwater Authority to ensure that adequate water service is provided to the development. 2. The City shall require the incorporation of all state mandated water conservation measures. The City shall also require the additional incorporation, as applicable, of water conservation measures including water efficient dishwashers, water pressure reducing valves, hot water pipe insulation, and hot water on -demand units as applicable. Significance After Mitigation No significant water distribution and supply impacts are anticipated with adoption and implementation of the Specific Plan and incorporation of the recommended mitigation measures. National City Downtown Specific Plan Program EIR September 2004 Page IS, ill' Police Service Project Impacts The Specific Plan is anticipated to encourage development and increase the need the police protection services. Although measures can be incorporated into future projects to improve police safety, additional development will increase calls for service. An increase in service calls could impact the time it takes for police officers to respond to Priority One, Priority Two, and Priority Three calls. Additional service calls could impact the Police Depai tiiient's ability to maintain desired levels of police service. Future development plans will be reviewed by the Police Department at the time they are submitted to the city for approval. The Police Department will, during their review, determine if design changes or safety hardware can be incorporated to reduce calls for service. The incorporation of the Police Department's recommendations will reduce calls for police protection. The development of additional projects in the Project Area may require additional police protection personnel and/or equipment to meet the Departments desired response times. Based on the threshold criteria, the Specific Plan could indirectly have significant impacts on police protection services. Mitigation Measures The following mitigation measure is recommended to reduce police protection impacts: 1 The Police Department shall review all future development projects for police protection impacts and ensure that additional police personnel and/or equipment are provided to provide an acceptable level of police protection services deemed acceptable by the Police Department prior to the issuance of building permits. Significance After Mitigation No significant police protection impacts are anticipated with adoption and implementation of the Specific Plan and incorporation of the recommended mitigation measure. Fire Protection Project Impacts The Specific Plan will encourage new development and redevelopment of existing uses. Increased development will increase the need for fire protection services. Additional demand for fire protection services could impact the Fire Department by reducing the ability of fire units to respond to calls throughout the City within its desired response time of five minutes. The Fire Department maintains a comprehensive Automatic Aid Agreement for fire protection services with the surrounding cities, including the County of San Diego. This agreement was established to provide assistance for major emergency incidents. All protected jurisdictions have mutually agreed to dedicate their resources, to the extent feasible, to major incidents in the state. If a fire emergency occurs in National City that requires additional fire personnel and equipment, fire departments from surrounding jurisdictions will respond when requested. Future development National City Downtown Specific Plan Program EIR September 2004 Page PS 15 plans will be reviewed by the Fire Department for compliance with the fire code. Additional measures to improve fire safety and reduce service calls will also be recommended by the Fire Department. Based on the threshold criteria, the Specific Plan could have significant impacts on the Fire Department by reducing emergency response times. Mitigation Measures The following mitigation measure is recommended: 1. The Fire Department shall review all future development projects for fire protection impacts and ensure that additional fire personnel and/or equipment are provided to provide an acceptable level of fire protection services deemed acceptable by the National City Fire Department prior to the issuance of building permits. Significance After Mitigation No significant fire protection impacts are anticipated with adoption and implementation of the Specific Plan and incorporation of the recommended mitigation measure. School Facilities Project Impacts Based on the threshold criteria the Specific Plan could have a significant impact on public schools due to an increase in the population in the Project Area. An increase in the population could increase the number of students that will attend area schools. The payment of developer impact fees as allowed by state law prior to the issuance of building permits will mitigate the impact due to the generation of additional students that will be generated by new development, both residential and commercial. Mitigation Measures Since no significant school impacts have been identified with adoption and implementation of the Specific Plan, no mitigation measures are recommended. Significance After Mitigation There will be no significant school impacts with adoption and implementation of the Specific Plan, therefore no mitigation measures are recommended. National City Downtown Specific Plan September 2004 Page Ifl it' Program EIR Sewage Services Project Impacts The Specific Plan proposes to increase the amount of development, which will impact the existing sewage collection system that serves the central portion of the Project Area. The sewer system that serves the central portion may have to be upgraded to serve future sewage flows if they cannot be handled by existing facilities. The construction of upgrades to the sewage collection system could have construction impacts, which will have to be specifically identified at the time sewer improvement plans are submitted for approval. If development projects require upgrades to existing sewage collection facilities the project developer will have to pay the cost to upgrade the facilities in conjunction with project construction. Mitigation Measures The following mitigation measure is recommended to ensure that adequate sewage collection facilities are available to serve new development. 1. All development projects shall be reviewed by the National City Public Works Department to make sure that adequate sewer collection facilities will be available to serve the project. If the Public Works Department determines the existing sewer collection facilities are not adequate the project developer shall construct the facilities necessary to the satisfaction of the City Engineer prior to the issuance of occupancy permits. Significance After Mitigation There will be no significant sewage impacts with adoption and implementation of the Specific Plan and incorporation of the recommended mitigation measure. 2.1.11 Recreation Project Impacts Based on the threshold criteria, the adoption and implementation of the Specific Plan will not result in any significant park or recreational impacts. The City will collect a fee for each new residential unit constructed in the Project Area. The monies will be used to upgrade or provide additional recreational facilities as needed and the park fee will mitigate the impacts of the project on park and recreational resources. There are no activities associated with the Specific Plan that will reduce or eliminate existing park or recreational facilities. The Specific Plan will have positive impacts by providing additional landscaped open space and passive recreational facilities in the Project Area, including a linear trail, sitting areas, fountain, etc. National City Downtown Specific Plan September 2004 Program EIR Page Mitigation Measures Since no significant park and recreational impacts have been identified with the adoption and implementation of the Specific Plan, no mitigation measures are recommended. Significance After Mitigation No significant park and recreational impacts are anticipated with adoption and implementation of the Specific Plan. 2.2 PROJECT ALTERNATIVES The Project Alternatives presented in Section 7.0 of this document were provided as required by Section 15126.6 of the CEQA Guidelines. Alternatives to the project are provided to reduce potential significant environmental effects that may be associated with adoption and implementation of the proposed Downtown Specific Plan as well as feasible project alternatives. The project alternatives discussed in this Program EIR include the "No Project", as required by CEQA and Expanding the Project Area. Project alternatives are required to reduce potential environmental impacts associated with a proposed project. The Program EIR identified several potentially significant impacts with adoption and implementation of the Specific Plan. However, mitigation measures are recommended accordingly to reduce the impacts to levels of insignificance in all instances. The project alternatives discuss changes to the Downtown Specific Plan that could reduce potential environmental impacts. Neither of the project alternatives is preferred to the proposed Specific Plan because neither alternatives will completely eliminate project impacts and accomplish the goals of the Specific Plan. 2.3 AREAS OF CONTROVERSY/ISSUES TO BE RESOLVED CEQA requires the EIR Summary to identify areas of controversy known to the lead agency, including issues raised by public agencies, issues to be resolved including the choice among alternatives, and how to mitigate potential significant effects. A copy of the Notice of Preparation/Initial Study was mailed to all responsible, trustee and taxing agencies as required by CEQA to solicit their environmental concerns with the project. The responses received by the responsible and trustee agencies to the Notice of Preparation/Initial Study discussing their issues or concerns with adoption and implementation of the Specific Plan are presented in Appendix B. Responses were received from the following public agencies during the 30-day Notice of Preparation/Initial Study review period: a. Carol Baubatz, Native American Heritage Commission b. Greg Holmes, Department of Toxic Substances Control c. Terry Roberts, Governor's Office of Planning and Research d. Mario H. Orso, Department of Transportation, District 11 National City Downtown Specific Plan Program EIR September 2004 Page X' l This Program EIR presents as much information as possible regarding the issues raised by the public agencies listed above. Information such as the specific location of future development projects is not known at this time. Therefore, it is speculative to determine specifically the final development density, number of residential units, height of buildings, square footage of commercial or industrial use, site access, design, etc. associated with future development of individual sites within the Project Areas pursuant to the Specific Plan. Detailed project information will be available for further analysis at the time specific projects are submitted to the City for approval. The City will determine whether or not subsequent environmental evaluation as required by CEQA will be undertaken at the time each project is submitted for approval. National City Downtown Specific Plan September 2004 Program EIR Page .0/ ❖ MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM ❖ 1.0 MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM 1.1 Introduction This document constitutes the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for the proposed Downtown Specific Plan project. It has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Public Resources Code §21081.6 which, among other things, states that when a governmental agency adopts or certifies a CEQA document that contains the environmental review of a proposed project, "The public agency shall adopt a reporting or monitoring program for the changes made to the project or conditions of project approval, adopted in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment. The reporting or monitoring program shall be designed to ensure compliance during project implementation." The Community Development Commission of the City of National City ("CDC") is the lead agency for the project, and is therefore, responsible for administering and implementing of the M1vIRP. The decision -makers must define specific reporting and/or monitoring requirements to be enforced during project implementation prior to final approval of the proposed project. 1.2 Project Overview The CDC proposes to encourage both public and private rehabilitation and development in the Project Area to reduce and eliminate blight and improve the economic viability of the area. The proposed Specific Plan is the planning document that will allow the City of National City and the CDC to upgrade and improve the Project Area consistent with the Downtown Specific Plan. The Specific Plan includes design guidelines, land use recommendations, and an implementation program. The purpose of the design guidelines is to equip project applicants, landowners, decision - making bodies, funding bodies, and interested citizens with guidance on achieving and assessing the quality of urban design in redeveloping and restoring downtown areas.' The land use recommendations are designed to build upon, and integrate existing key elements in the Project Area including Education Village, Brick Row, Kimball Park, a new public library (under construction), Civic Center, and National City Boulevard. The implementation program of the Specific Plan will be the vehicle to incorporate the design guidelines and land use recommendations into reality to meet its goals and objectives. 1.3 Monitoring and Reporting Procedures This MMRP includes the following information in a matrix format: (1) mitigation measures that would either eliminate or lessen the potential impact from the project; (2) the monitoring milestone or phase during which the measure should be complied with or carried out; (3) the enforcement agency responsible for monitoring mitigation measure compliance; and (4) the initials of the person verifying the mitigation measure was completed and the date of verification. The MMRP will be in place through all phases of a project including project design (preconstruction), project approval, project construction, and operation (both prior to and post -occupancy). The CDC will ensure that monitoring is documented through periodic reports and that deficiencies are promptly corrected. The designated environmental monitor will track and document compliance with mitigation measures, note any problems that may result, and take appropriate action to rectify problems.

Long Term Off -Site Impacts The analysis shows that the project will result in a significant traffic noise impact to residences along Civic Center between Wilson Avenue and Roosevelt Avenue. Further, the project will substantially contribute to significant cumulative traffic noise impacts along D Avenue between 8th Street and Plaza Boulevard, and Plaza Boulevard between Hoover Avenue and D Avenue. Typically sound walls are prescribed to mitigate these impacts. However, in this case, most of the impacted residences front the roadway causing the traffic noise. Building barriers in front of homes is not practical or consistent with the aesthetics and design of the specific plan. Openings would be required to allow access to the streets, which would short-circuit the effectiveness of the noise barriers. The tires interacting with the roadway generate much of the noise generated by traffic. A freshly paved roadway will generally generate substantially lower noise levels than an older worn roadway. However, the reduction in noise levels erodes rather quickly as the new surface is worn. Typically the reduction is completely eliminated within a year. In recent years "low noise" roadway surfaces have been used with success more and more. These surfaces result in lower traffic noise levels than typical roadway surfaces. The question that has lingered is how long the noise reduction qualities exist. Several long-term tests are currently ongoing and indicate that the noise reduction does in fact last over time. The two surfaces most commonly used for their noise reducing qualities are open -graded friction courses (OGFC) and rubberized asphalt. Studies have shown that these surfaces can reduce traffic Prior to issuance of occupancy permits for the first residential project.

At lower speeds, the reductions are estimated to be in the 3 to 5 dB range. Use of one of these surfaces on the roadways causing the impacts would almost completely eliminate the projected noise level increases due to the project as well as the cumulative increases. To mitigate the significant noise impact caused by increased traffic generated by the project, the following roadway segments should be repaved using OGFC, rubberized asphalt or other roadway surface showing documented long term noise reductions of at least 3 dB; Civic Center between Wilson Avenue and Roosevelt Avenue, D Avenue between li h Street and Plaza Boulevard, and Plaza Boulevard between Hoover Avenue and D Avenue. In order to reduce vehicular road noise the following mitigation measure is recommended: A. These roads (Civic Center between Wilson Avenue and Roosevelt Avenue, D Avenue between 8'h Street and Plaza Boulevard, and Plaza Boulevard between Hoover Avenue and D Avenue) shall be repaved with the noise reducing surfaces prior to issuance of building permits for the specific project that will result in, cumulatively, more than half of the projected increase in trips resulting from the implementation of the specific plan. 12. Prior to the issuance of building permits for all commercial projects. National City Building Department Long Term Impacts from On -Site Activities The following long-term noise mitigation measure is recommended: As specific commercial projects are submitted for approval they shall be evaluated for noise generating characteristics, the closeness to any residential uses, and the potential for violations of the City's Noise Ordinance. If City staff determines that a proposed commercial project has the potential to violate the City's Noise Ordinance, a detailed noise assessment shall be required. This assessment shall be prepared by a qualified acoustical engineer and describe the noise National City Downtown Specific Plan Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program November 2004 Page 7 • MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM ❖ Table 1 MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM Mitigation Measure No. Mitigation Measure Monitoring Milestone Enforcement Agency Verification of Compliance (Responsible Monitor to Initial and Date) generating activities and their characteristics as a noise source. Noise levels shall be predicted at the potentially impacted residences and compared with the Noise Ordinance standards. If an exceedance is found, project specific mitigation measures shall be described to reduce the noise levels to below the Noise Ordinance Standards. The noise report shall be submitted to and approved by the City and all mitigation measure incorporated into the building plans prior to issuance of building permits for the project. 13. Long Term On -Site Impacts The noise analysis presents evidence that the residential uses along National City Boulevard, 8`s Street, and Plaza Boulevard would be exposed to noise levels in excess of 65 CNEL. Further, indoor noise levels along these roadways and Roosevelt Avenue could be exposed to interior noise levels in excess of 45 CNEL unless properly designed. The noise mitigation measures recommended below will allow development to meet the indoor and outdoor noise level limits of the city. Outdoor Noise Mitigation Mitigation through the design and construction of a noise barrier (wall, berm, or combination wall/berm) is the most efficient method of reducing outdoor noise exposure levels. The effect of a noise barrier is critically dependent on the geometry between the noise source and the receiver. A noise barrier effect occurs when the barrier breaks the "line of sight" between the source and receiver. The greater the distance the sound must travel around the barrier to reach the receiver, the greater the noise reduction of the barrier. To be effective noise barriers are required to have a surface density of Prior to the issuance of building permits for all development. National City Building Department National City Downtown Specific Plan Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program November 2004 Page 8 + MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM, Table 1 MITIGATION MONITORING AND RE Mitigation Measure No. Mitigation Measure Monitoring Milestone Enforcement Agency Verification of Compliance (Responsible Monitor to Initial and Date) at least 3.5 pounds per square foot with no openings or cracks. It may be a solid wall, an earthen berm, or a combination of the two. The wall may be constructed of wood studs with stucco exterior, 1/4-inch plate glass, 5/8 inch Plexiglas, any masonry material, or a combination of these materials. Wood and other materials may be acceptable if properly designed as a noise barrier. For patios and balconies the barriers must run along the entire edge of the patio or balcony from building face to building face. Based on the projected traffic noise levels, no residential area would require a barrier with a height greater than 9 feet to reduce noise levels to below 65 CNEL. Typically 5 to 6 foot high barriers will adequately reduce traffic noise levels within the specific plan boundary. However, as no specific projects are proposed the specific locations of any private outdoor living areas are not known. Additionally, final grading plans are required to determine the final barrier heights and ensure compliance with the appropriate standard. The above analysis shows that this standard is achievable with feasible barrier heights. To ensure that residential projects proposed for the project area achieve the 65 CNEL standard, City Staff shall review the preliminary designs to determine if any private outdoor living areas are potentially exposed to noise levels in excess of 65 CNEL. Prior to the issuance of grading permits for any residential area with outdoor living areas potentially exposed to noise levels in excess of 65 CNEL, as determined by the City, a detailed acoustical study shall be prepared by a qualified acoustical consultant and submitted to the City. This report shall describe and quantify the noise sources impacting the area and the measures required to meet the 65 CNEL exterior residential noise standard. The measures described in the report shall be incorporated into the grading and building plans, as appropriate.

Indoor Noise Mitigation New residential uses within the project area will be exposed to noise levels no higher than 76 CNEL. This means that the building structures will need to achieve up to 31 dB of outdoor -to -indoor noise reduction. This level of noise reduction is achievable, but will likely require substantial building upgrades. Most residential uses will not be exposed to noise levels in excess of 69 CNEL, which will require up to a 24 dB outdoor -to -indoor noise reduction. In some cases standard construction will achieve this level of reduction, however, residences along major roadways may require upgraded windows to achieve the required outdoor to indoor noise reduction. With typical residential construction at least 20 dB of outdoor -to - indoor noise reduction is achieved with windows closed. With windows open outdoor -to -indoor noise reduction falls to 12 dBA. Therefore, units requiring more than 12 dB of noise reduction require adequate ventilation per the Uniform Building Code to allow windows to remain closed. Typically this is provided through mechanical ventilation. Windows do not need to be sealed shut, but closeable at the occupants' discretion. Units along National City Boulevard, 8th Street, Plaza Boulevard, and Roosevelt Avenue will require more than 12 dB of noise reduction and mechanical ventilation. With extensive building upgrades, outdoor -to -indoor noise reductions of up to 32 dB can be achieved. All residences require 32 dB or less of outdoor -to -indoor noise reduction. Therefore, the homes in the project will be able to meet the 45 CNEL interior noise standards. Architectural drawings for the homes are not currently available to analyze the actual noise reduction achieved.

Short Term Construction If air quality impacts associated with construction of an approved project exceed the significance thresholds, mitigation measures identified below should be implemented as feasible to reduce emissions of the project. Mitigation measures from the SCAQMD are presented below and are recommended for projects in the SDAB, where applicable. The following measures are recommended to reduce pollutant emissions from construction activities. The construction operators shall implement these measures. • Use water trucks to keep all areas where vehicles move damp enough to prevent dust raised when traveling on the site; • Wet down the site in the late morning and after work is On -going during development of the specific plan. National City Building Department National City Downtown Specific Plan Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program November 2004 Page 11 + MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM ❖ Table 1 ATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM Mitigation Measure No. Mitigation Measure Monitoring Milestone Enforcement Agency Verification of Compliance (Responsible Monitor to Initial and Date) completed for the day; • After construction, wet inactive areas down to reduce windblown dust; • Employ street sweeping, should silt be carried over to adjacent public roadways; • Wash off trucks leaving the site; • Reestablish ground cover on the construction site through seeding and watering on portions of the site that will not be disturbed for lengthy periods (such as two months or more); • Maintain construction equipment engines by keeping them tuned; and • Reduce traffic speeds on all unpaved road surfaces to 15 miles per hour or less. 16. Long Term The most significant reductions in regional and local air pollutant emissions are attainable through programs, which reduce the vehicular travel associated with the project. Support and compliance with the RAQS for the basin is the most important measure to achieve this goal. The RAQS includes improvement of mass transit facilities and implementation of vehicular usage reduction programs. Additionally, energy conservation measures are included. None of these recommended mitigation measures are strictly required. However, all relevant measures should be applied to the greatest extent possible. On -going during development of the specific plan. National City Building Department 17. TDM Measures • Schedule truck deliveries and pickups for commercial uses during off-peak hours when feasible. This will alleviate traffic congestion, therefore, emissions during the peak hour. On -going during development of the specific plan. National City Building Department National City Downtown Specific Plan Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program November 2004 Page 12 ❖ MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM :• Table 1 MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTIN Mitigation Measure No. Mitigation Measure Monitoring Milestone Enforcement Agency Verification of Compliance (Responsible Monitor to Initial and Date) • Provide adequate ingress and egress at all entrances to public facilities to minimize vehicle idling at curbsides. Presumably, this measure would improve traffic flow into and out of the parking lot. The air quality benefits are incalculable because more specific data is required. • Provide dedicated turn lanes as appropriate and provide roadway improvements at heavily congested roadways. Again, the areas where this measure would be applicable are the intersections in and near the project area. Presumably, these measures would improve traffic flow. Emissions would drop as a result of the higher traffic speeds, but to an unknown extent. • Provide on -site services. Provide incentives such as on -site ATMs and other similar measures that address lifestyle needs. These measures reduce the VMT, but the air quality benefit cannot be quantified because more specific data is required. 18. Energy Efficiency Measures and Additional Measures • Compliance with Title 24, Part 6, California's Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Nonresidential Buildings. All buildings must comply with Title 24, Part 6. Reducing the need to heat or cool structures by improving thermal integrity will result in a reduced expenditure of energy and a reduction in pollutant emissions. • Develop operational emissions mitigation plan. Prior to approval of each building permit for a commercial or office use, the applicant shall submit to the Director of Planning for approval, an operational emissions mitigation plan. The plan shall identify On -going during development of the specific plan.

If certain measures are determined infeasible, an explanation thereof shall be provided in the operational emissions mitigation plan. o Utilize built-in energy -efficient appliances to reduce energy consumption and emissions. o Utilize energy -efficient and automated controls for air conditioners and lighting to reduce electricity consumption and associated emissions. • Develop plans to facilitate walking and use of bicycles. Prior to approval of each tentative tract map, the Applicant shall submit to the Director of Community Development for approval, a plan showing pedestrian/bicycle trails that facilitate connections to public facilities such as schools, parks, and regional trails, as well as between residential neighborhoods. o Where possible, connect residential areas to public facilities, parks, regional trails and other residential neighborhoods with pedestrian/bicycle trails. o Where possible, connect commercial areas to adjacent residential areas via bike/walking paths. Coordinate with SDTC regarding the location of bus tumouts and bus routes within the project area. Hazards and Hazardous Materials 19. Prior to development of any property that was formerly occupied by or adjacent to existing facilities that used or stored hazardous materials, a detailed Phase I Environmental Site Assessment shall be approved by the City of National City to evaluate the potential for soil and groundwater contamination. If warranted by the Phase 1 environmental site assessment, soil and possibly groundwater sampling shall be required.

Statement of Overriding Considerations 14 National City Downtown Specific Plan Finding of Fact/Statement of Overriding Considerations i CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FINDINGS OF FACTS FOR THE NATIONAL CITY DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN I. INTRODUCTION The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Public Resources Code and the State CEQA Guidelines (Guidelines) provide that: "No public agency shall approve or carry out a project for which an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has been completed and which identifies one or more significant environmental effects of the project unless the public agency makes one or more written findings for each of those significant effects, accompanied by a brief explanation of the rational for each finding." (CEQA Guidelines Section 15091) The EIR for the National City Downtown Specific Plan identified significant effects, which may occur as a result of development of the specific plan. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines, the Community Development Commission of the City of National City (CDC) hereby adopts the findings in this report as part of the approval of the development of the National City Downtown Specific Plan (Project). The CDC has prepared an EIR for the proposed Project in accordance with CEQA and the requirements of the State Guidelines. As mandated by legislation in the State of California, the EIR was subject to review and approval by the Community Development Commission of the City of National City at a public hearing held on November 15, 2004, the EIR was certified by the CDC as adequate, in compliance with the provisions of CEQA. In adopting this Statement of Findings and Facts, the CDC approves the Proj ect. The CDC has developed a Mitigation Monitoring Program to monitor and report the implementation of the mitigation measures identified for the Project as part of the environmental review process. II. DESCRIPTION OF THE APPROVED PROJECT The CDC proposes to encourage both public and private rehabilitation and development and reduce and eliminate blight and improve the economic viability of the Project Area. The Downtown Specific Plan is the planning document that will allow the City of National City and the CDC to upgrade and improve the Project Area. The Specific Plan includes design guidelines, land use recommendations, and an implementation program. The purpose of the design guidelines is to equip project applicants, landowners, decision - making bodies, funding bodies, and interested citizens with guidance on achieving and assessing the quality of urban design in redeveloping and restoring downtown areas. The land use recommendations are designed to build upon, and integrate existing key elements in the Project Area including Education Village, Brick Row, Kimball Park, a new public library (under construction), Civic Center, and National City Boulevard. The implementation program of the Specific Plan will be the vehicle to incorporate the design guidelines and land use recommendations into reality to meet its goals and objectives. National City Downtown Specific Plan 1 Finding of Fact/Statement of Overriding Considerations III. ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT The CDC considered two alternatives. The alternatives to the proposed Project included: (1) No Project; and (2) Enlarged Project Area. Both project alternatives were considered feasible for further evaluation. • Alternative 1: No Project Alternative. The Project Area would be developed as guided by the current National City General Plan Land Use Element and the National City zoning code and as amended from time to time. Development pursuant to the general plan and zoning code would generate fewer residential units and more retail and light industrial use than proposed by the Downtown Specific Plan. The existing underutilized parcels and blighting conditions may continue well into the future without the ability to increase the density and land uses allowed by the Project. The CDC would not gain the increased tax increment revenue anticipated indirectly by the development allowed by the specific plan, thus the CDC would not be able to participate financially to upgrade and improve the Project Area. • Alternative 2: Enlarged Project Area. This project alternative would enlarge the current size of the Project Area to include additional surrounding properties. The surrounding properties that could be added to the proposed project area include residential, commercial and light industrial uses. The incorporation of other areas would increase land use densities of those additional properties and increase impacts accordingly such as traffic, air quality, and noise. IV. FINDINGS OF FACT The Community Development Commission of the City of National City has reviewed the Final EIR for the proposed project and has considered the public record on the project. The public record for the project is composed of the following elements: • Notice of Preparation, (January 24, 2004) • Downtown Specific Plan DER, and Technical Appendices (September 17, 2004) • Downtown Specific Plan Final EIR and Response to Comments (November 2004) • Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan (November 2004) There are three possible findings under CEQA with respect to the significant effects of a project: Finding 1: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project, which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment. Finding 2: Those changes or alterations are within the responsibility or jurisdiction of another public agency and have been, or can and should be, adopted by that other agency. Finding 3: Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including considerations for the provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or alternatives identified in the environmental impact report. After reviewing the Final EIR and the public record on the Project, the Community Development Commission of the City of National City hereby makes the Findings in Sections V, VI, and VII below regarding the significant effects of the proposed National City Downtown Specific Plan project, pursuant to Sections 21081 and 15091 of the CEQA Public Resource Code and CEQA Guidelines, respectively. National City Downtown Specific Plan 2 Finding of Fact/Statement of Overriding Considerations V. EFFECTS DETERMINED TO BE MITIGATABLE TO A LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT LEVEL GEOLOGY/SOILS Significant Effect Geological and soils impacts could occur with the development of private and public projects in the Project Area. Site specific development plans are not proposed at this time, therefore, it is not known with any accuracy which sites may be exposed to geology and soil impacts. Finding Finding 1: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project, which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment. Facts in Support of the Finding The potential geology and soils impact associated with future development in the Project Area can be reduced to less than a significant level through the implementation of the following mitigation measure: 1. Prior to the issuance of a final grading permit, a detailed geotechnical investigation shall be approved by the City. The investigation shall include fieldwork (e.g., subsurface exploration, sampling) and laboratory analysis as directed by the City to determine the exact location and extend of potential geologic/seismic hazards. All applicable remedial grading measures and seismic design parameters recommended by the geotechnical engineer shall be incorporated into the project and shown on the final grading plans and/or incorporated into contractor specifications prior to award of construction contracts, to the satisfaction of the City. TRAFFIC AND CIRCULATION Significant Effect The Downtown Specific Plan would impact several intersections and require mitigation: Main Street at Yamall-5 Southbound Off ramp (PM: LOS F); Main Street at Division Street (PM: LOS F); National City Blvd at Division Street (AM: LOS F); I-5 South Ramps at 8th Street (AM, PM: LOS F); National City Boulevard at 8th Street (AM, PM: LOS F); National City Boulevard at Plaza Boulevard (AM: LOS E); and I-5 Northbound Onramp at Civic Center Drive (AM, PM: LOS F). Finding Finding 1: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project, which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment. National City Downtown Specific Plan 3 Finding of Fact/Statement of Overriding Considerations Facts in Support of the Finding Potential traffic impacts to identified intersections can be reduced to less than a significant level and acceptable levels of service (Level of service D) through the implementation of the following mitigation measures: 2. Re -stripe the intersection of Main Street at Yama/I-5 southbound off ramp to include two left -turn lanes and a shared through right -turn land for the southbound approach. The improvements shall be coordinated with the City of San Diego and Caltrans. 3. A traffic signal shall be installed at the intersection of Main Street and Division Street. 4. A traffic signal shall be installed at the intersection of National City Boulevard and Division Street. 5. A traffic signal shall be installed at the intersection of I-5 southbound off ramps and 8th Street. 6. Re -stripe the intersection of I-5 northbound on -ramp at Civic Center Drive to include a left -turn pocket for the northbound approach. 7. Provide bicycle racks when feasible to encourage the use of bicycles. 8. Promote ride -sharing programs for the businesses in the Project Area. 9. National City Transit District shall be notified in writing at least one week prior to the start of construction of any public or private project that will impact an existing bus stop/bus shelter to allow National City Transit District adequate time to provide a temporary bus stop/bus shelter. NOISE Significant Effects The development of both public and private projects could increase noise levels in the project vicinity that exceed City adopted noise levels. The development of future projects could increase both short-term (construction) and long-term (operational) noise levels beyond City standards. Potential noise impacts could include both interior and exterior noise levels impacts as well as increasing the ambient, or background noise levels beyond City acceptable limits. Finding Finding 1: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project, which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment. Facts in Support of the Finding Potential short and long-term noise impacts for some noise impacts associated with the future development of properties in the Project Area can be reduced to less than a significant level through the implementation of the following mitigation measures. Although most project level noise impacts can be mitigated, there will be long-term cumulative noise impacts that cannot be mitigated to less than significant levels. Therefore, the project will have cumulative unavoidable adverse noise impacts. National City Downtown Specific Plan Finding of Fact/Statement of Overriding Considerations 4 Temporary Impacts 10. To ensure that construction activities comply with the City's Noise Ordinance a Construction Noise Abatement Plan shall be prepared for each construction project and submitted to the City prior to the issuance of demolition, grading or building permits, whichever is issued first. The Plan shall describe the construction activities; equipment required for those activities, and noise level generation characteristics of the equipment to be used. Noise levels at the closest residential use shall be predicted. If projected noise levels will exceed the Noise Ordinance limits, measures to reduce those levels to comply with the Noise Ordinance shall be described and implemented. Long Term Off -Site Impacts 11. The roads (Civic Center between Wilson Avenue and Roosevelt Avenue, D Avenue between 8th Street and Plaza Boulevard, and Plaza Boulevard between Hoover Avenue and D Avenue) shall be repaved with the noise reducing surfaces prior to issuance of building permits for the specific project that will result in, cumulatively, more than half of the projected increase in trips resulting from the implementation of the specific plan. Long Term Impacts from On -Site Activities 12. As specific commercial projects are submitted for approval they shall be evaluated for noise generating characteristics, the closeness to any residential uses, and the potential for violations of the City's Noise Ordinance. If City staff determines that a proposed commercial project has the potential to violate the City's Noise Ordinance, a detailed noise assessment shall be required. This assessment shall be prepared by a qualified acoustical engineer and describe the noise generating activities and their characteristics as a noise source. Noise levels shall be predicted at the potentially impacted residences and compared with the Noise Ordinance standards. If an exceedance is found, project specific mitigation measures shall be described to reduce the noise levels to below the Noise Ordinance Standards. The noise report shall be submitted to and approved by the City and all mitigation measure incorporated into the building plans prior to issuance of building permits for the project. Outdoor Noise Mitigation 13. Mitigation through the design and construction of a noise barrier (wall, berm, or combination wall/berm) is the most efficient method of reducing outdoor noise exposure levels. The effect of a noise barrier is critically dependent on the geometry between the noise source and the receiver. A noise barrier effect occurs when the barrier breaks the "line of sight" between the source and receiver. The greater the distance the sound must travel around the barrier to reach the receiver, the greater the noise reduction of the barrier. To be effective noise barriers are required to have a surface density of at least 3.5 pounds per square foot with no openings or cracks. It may be a solid wall, an earthen berm, or a combination of the two. The wall may be constructed of wood studs with stucco exterior, 1/4-inch plate glass, 5/8 inch Plexiglas, any masonry material, or a combination of these materials. Wood and other materials may be acceptable if properly designed as a noise barrier. For patios and balconies the barriers must run along the entire edge of the patio or balcony from building face to building face. Based on the projected traffic noise levels, no residential area would require a barrier with a height greater than 9 feet to reduce noise levels to below 65 CNEL. Typically 5 to 6 foot high National City Downtown Specific Plan 5 Finding of Fact/Statement of Overriding Considerations barriers will adequately reduce traffic noise levels within the specific plan boundary. However, as no specific projects are proposed the specific locations of any private outdoor living areas are not known. Additionally, final grading plans are required to determine the final barrier heights and ensure compliance with the appropriate standard. The above analysis shows that this standard is achievable with feasible barrier heights. To ensure that residential projects proposed for the project area achieve the 65 CNEL standard, City Staff shall review the preliminary designs to determine if any private outdoor living areas are potentially exposed to noise levels in excess of 65 CNEL. Prior to the issuance of grading permits for any residential area with outdoor living areas potentially exposed to noise levels in excess of 65 CNEL, as determined by the City, a detailed acoustical study shall be prepared by a qualified acoustical consultant and submitted to the City. This report shall describe and quantify the noise sources impacting the area and the measures required to meet the 65 CNEL exterior residential noise standard. The measures described in the report shall be incorporated into the grading and building plans, as appropriate. Indoor Noise Mitigation 14. New residential uses within the project area will be exposed to noise levels no higher than 76 CNEL. This means that the building structures will need to achieve up to 31 dB of outdoor -to - indoor noise reduction. This level of noise reduction is achievable, but will likely require substantial building upgrades. Most residential uses will not be exposed to noise levels in excess of 69 CNEL, which will require up to a 24 dB outdoor -to -indoor noise reduction. In some cases standard construction will achieve this level of reduction, however, residences along major roadways may require upgraded windows to achieve the required outdoor to indoor noise reduction. With typical residential construction at least 20 dB of outdoor -to -indoor noise reduction is achieved with windows closed. With windows open outdoor -to -indoor noise reduction falls to 12 dBA. Therefore, units requiring more than 12 dB of noise reduction require adequate ventilation per the Uniform Building Code to allow windows to remain closed. Typically this is provided through mechanical ventilation. Windows do not need to be sealed shut, but closeable at the occupants' discretion. Units along National City Boulevard, 8th Street, Plaza Boulevard, and Roosevelt Avenue will require more than 12 dB of noise reduction and mechanical ventilation. With extensive building upgrades, outdoor -to -indoor noise reductions of up to 32 dB can be achieved. All residences require 32 dB or less of outdoor -to -indoor noise reduction. Therefore, the homes in the project will be able to meet the 45 CNEL interior noise standards. Architectural drawings for the homes are not currently available to analyze the actual noise reduction achieved. Prior to issuance of building permits for residential units located along National City Boulevard, 86 Street, Plaza Boulevard, and Roosevelt Avenue, a detailed acoustical study shall be prepared by a qualified acoustical consultant and submitted to the City. This report shall describe and quantify the noise sources impacting the building(s) and the measures required to meet the 45 CNEL interior noise standard. The measures described in the report shall be incorporated into the building plans. Commercial uses located within the 70 CNEL contour from the I-5 Freeway will require up to 26 dBA of outdoor -to -indoor noise reduction to meet the 50 CNEL office interior noise standard. Prior to issuance of building permits for commercial projects units located within the 70 CNEL I- 5 Freeway noise contour as shown in Exhibit 6, a detailed acoustical study shall be prepared by a National City Downtown Specific Plan Finding of Fact/Statement of Overriding Considerations 6 qualified acoustical consultant and submitted to the City. This report shall describe and quantify the noise sources impacting the building(s) and the measures required to meet the 50 CNEL office and/or 55 CNEL retail interior noise standards. The measures described in the report shall be incorporated into the building plans. AIR QUALITY Significant Effect The Downtown Specific Plan will have both short and long-term air emission impacts and contribute to air quality in the San Diego Air Basin. Based on air quality modeling conducted for build -out of the Specific Plan, it is not anticipated that future development will exceed any established air quality emission thresholds. However, because specific development projects are not proposed at this time, future projects could emit emissions that exceed air quality thresholds at that time. The City will evaluate all projects for potential air quality impacts at the time plans are submitted for approval. Measures to reduce air emissions will be incorporated when required to reduce both short and long-term air quality impacts for compliance with air emission thresholds enforced by SDAPCD. Finding Finding 1: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project, which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment. Facts in Support of the Finding Potential short and long-term air quality impacts for some air emission impacts associated with the future development of properties in the Project Area can be reduced to less than a significant level through the implementation of the following mitigation measures. Although most project level air emission impacts can be mitigated, there will be long-term cumulative air quality impacts that cannot be mitigated to less than significant levels. Therefore, the project will have cumulative unavoidable adverse air quality impacts. Short Term Construction 15. If air quality impacts associated with construction of an approved project exceed the significance thresholds, mitigation measures identified below should be implemented as feasible to reduce emissions of the project. Mitigation measures are presented below and are recommended for projects in the SDAB, where applicable. The following measures are recommended to reduce pollutant emissions from construction activities. The construction operators shall implement these measures. • Use water trucks to keep all areas where vehicles move damp enough to prevent dust raised when traveling on the site; • Wet down the site in the late morning and after work is completed for the day; • After construction, wet inactive areas down to reduce windblown dust; • Employ street sweeping, should silt be carried over to adjacent public roadways; • Wash off trucks leaving the site; • Reestablish ground cover on the construction site through seeding and watering on portions of the site that will not be disturbed for lengthy periods (such as two months or more); • Maintain construction equipment engines by keeping them tuned; and National City Downtown Specific Plan 7 Finding of Fact/Statement of Overriding Considerations • Reduce traffic speeds on all unpaved road surfaces to 15 miles per hour or less. Long Term 16. The most significant reductions in regional and local air pollutant emissions are attainable through programs, which reduce the vehicular travel associated with the project. Support and compliance with the RAQS for the basin is the most important measure to achieve this goal. The RAQS includes improvement of mass transit facilities and implementation of vehicular usage reduction programs. Additionally, energy conservation measures are included. None of these recommended mitigation measures are strictly required. However, all relevant measures should be applied to the greatest extent possible. TDM Measures 17. Schedule truck deliveries and pickups for commercial uses during off-peak hours when feasible. This will alleviate traffic congestion, therefore, emissions during the peak hour. 18. Provide adequate ingress and egress at all entrances to public facilities to minimize vehicle idling at curbsides. Presumably, this measure would improve traffic flow into and out of the parking lot. The air quality benefits are incalculable because more specific data is required. 19. Provide dedicated turn lanes as appropriate and provide roadway improvements at heavily congested roadways. Again, the areas where this measure would be applicable are the intersections in and near the project area. Presumably, these measures would improve traffic flow. Emissions would drop as a result of the higher traffic speeds, but to an unknown extent. 20. Provide on -site services. Provide incentives such as on -site ATMs and other similar measures that address lifestyle needs. These measures reduce the VMT, but the air quality benefit cannot be quantified because more specific data is required. Energy Efficiency Measures and Additional Measures 21. Compliance with Title 24, Part 6, California's Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Nonresidential Buildings. All buildings must comply with Title 24, Part 6. Reducing the need to heat or cool structures by improving thermal integrity will result in a reduced expenditure of energy and a reduction in pollutant emissions. 22. Develop operational emissions mitigation plan. Prior to approval of each building permit for a commercial or office use, the applicant shall submit to the Director of Planning for approval, an operational emissions mitigation plan. The plan shall identify implementation procedures for each of the following emissions reduction measures. If certain measures are determined infeasible, an explanation thereof shall be provided in the operational emissions mitigation plan. o Utilize built-in energy -efficient appliances to reduce energy consumption and emissions. o Utilize energy -efficient and automated controls for air conditioners and lighting to reduce electricity consumption and associated emissions. National City Downtown Specific Plan Finding of Fact/Statement of Overriding Considerations 8 23. Develop plans to facilitate walking and use of bicycles. Prior to approval of each tentative tract map, the Applicant shall submit to the Director of Community Development for approval, a plan showing pedestrian/bicycle trails that facilitate connections to public facilities such as schools, parks, and regional trails, as well as between residential neighborhoods. o Where possible, connect residential areas to public facilities, parks, regional trails and other residential neighborhoods with pedestrian/bicycle trails. o Where possible, connect commercial areas to adjacent residential areas via bike/walking paths. 24. Coordinate with SDTC regarding the location of bus turnouts and bus routes within the project area. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS Significant Effect The development of sites that used hazardous materials in the past could expose the public or the environment to hazards due to the development of such sites. The Downtown Specific Plan will encourage development of property in the project area, which some sites may be contaminated with hazardous materials. The development of the sites could, without proper cleanup, result in significant adverse hazards and hazardous material impacts to the public or the environment. Finding Finding 1: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project, which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment. Facts in Support of the Finding Potential hazardous impacts with the development of properties that may be contaminated can be reduced to less than a significant level through the implementation of the following mitigation measures: 25. Prior to development of any property that was formerly occupied by or adjacent to existing facilities that used or stored hazardous materials, a detailed Phase I Environmental Site Assessment shall be approved by the City of National City to evaluate the potential for soil and groundwater contamination. If warranted by the Phase 1 environmental site assessment, soil and possibly groundwater sampling shall be required. 26. Asbestos, mercury, and a lead -based paint survey of existing buildings shall be conducted prior to any renovation or demolition activities to the satisfaction of the City. 27. Prior to issuance of a grading permit for any property where the results of the Phase I, Phase II, and/or asbestos, mercury, or lead -based paint evaluation indicates the presence of these materials or the potential for hazardous materials at levels requiring mitigation, all remedial measures identified in the studies shall be shown on the face of the grading plans and/or incorporated into contractor specifications prior to awarding the construction contract or issuance of a demolition permit, whichever is first. All remedial measures required by law shall be implemented and completed prior to the issuance of grading or building permits, whichever is issued first. National City Downtown Specific Plan 9 Finding of Fact/Statement of Overriding Considerations WATER SERVICE Significant Effect The development of projects consistent with the specific plan could require upgrades and improvements to the existing water distribution system in order for adequate water service to be provided to specific developments in the future. New development will consume water that could impact the current water supply. Finding Finding 1: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project, which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment. Facts in Support of the Finding Potential impacts due to inadequate water facilities being available to provide water to future development can be reduced to less than a significant level through the implementation of the following mitigation measures: 28. All water utility plans shall be approved by the Sweetwater Authority to ensure that adequate water service is provided to the development. 29. The City shall require the incorporation of all state mandated water conservation measures. The City shall also require the additional incorporation, as applicable, of water conservation measures including water efficient dishwashers, water pressure reducing valves, hot water pipe insulation, and hot water on -demand units as applicable. POLICE SERVICE Significant Effect New development would increase the need for police protection services, which could impact the Police Department and its response times for Priority One, Priority Two, and Priority Three calls. Additional service calls could impact the Police Department's ability to maintain desired levels of service. Finding Finding 1: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project, which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment. Facts in Support of the Finding Potential impacts to the National City Police Department can be reduced to less than.a significant level through the implementation of the following mitigation measure: 30. The Police Department shall review all future development projects for police protection impacts and ensure that additional police personnel and/or equipment are provided to provide an acceptable level of police protection services deemed acceptable by the Police Department prior to the issuance of building pt-iiuits. National City Downtown Specific Plan Finding of Fact/Statement of Overriding Considerations 10 FIRE PROTECTION Significant Effect The Specific Plan will encourage new development, which will increase the need for fire protection services. Additional demand for fire protection services could impact the Fire Department by reducing the ability of fire units to respond to calls throughout the City within its desired response time of five minutes. Finding Finding 1: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project, which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment. Facts in Support of the Finding Potential impacts to the National City Fire Department can be reduced to less than a significant level through the implementation of the following mitigation measure: 31. The Fire Department shall review all future development projects for fire protection impacts and ensure that additional fire personnel and/or equipment are provided to provide an acceptable level of fire protection services deemed acceptable by the National City Fire Department prior to the issuance of building permits. SEWAGE SERVICES Significant Effect The Specific Plan will encourage new development, which will impact the sewage collection system that serves the central portion of the Project Area. The sewage collection system that serves the central portion of the Project Area may have to be upgraded if the existing collection system cannot handle future sewage flows. Finding Finding 1: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project, which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment. Facts in Support of the Finding Potential impacts to the sewage collection system can be reduced to less than a significant level through the implementation of the following mitigation measure: 32. All development projects shall be reviewed by the National City Public Works Department to make sure that adequate sewer collection facilities will be available to serve the project. If the Public Works Department determines the existing sewer collection facilities are not adequate the project developer shall construct the facilities necessary to the satisfaction of the City Engineer prior to the issuance of occupancy permits. National City Downtown Specific Plan 11 Finding of Fact/Statement of Overriding Considerations VI. SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS WHICH CANNOT BE AVOIDED IF THE PROJECT IS DEVELOPED NOISE Significant Effect The development of public and private projects could increase noise levels in the project vicinity that exceed City adopted noise levels and include both short-term (construction) and long-term (operational) noise levels. The increased noise levels could impact noise sensitive land uses (residential) due to increased ambient, or background noise levels beyond City acceptable limits. Finding Finding 3: Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including considerations for the provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or alternatives identified in the environmental impact report. Facts in Support of the Finding The significant project and cumulative off -site traffic noise impacts cannot be reduced with feasible mitigation measures to less than significant levels to comply with the City's noise ordinance. Mitigation measures are listed in the EIR to ensure individual projects meet the City's criteria for both interior and exterior noise levels. However, development allowed by the specific plan in conjunction with other development in National City will result in cumulative outdoor noise level increases that cannot be mitigated, which would result in unavoidable adverse noise impacts. AIR QUALITY Significant Effect Although most project level air emission impacts can be mitigated, there will be long-term cumulative air quality impacts that cannot be mitigated to less than significant levels. Therefore, the project will have cumulative unavoidable adverse air quality impacts. Finding Finding 3: Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including considerations for the provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or alternatives identified in the environmental impact report. National City Downtown Specific Plan Finding of Fact/Statement of Overriding Considerations 12 Facts in Support of Finding: The Downtown Specific Plan will have both short and long-term air emission impacts and contribute to air quality in the San Diego Air Basin. Potential short and long-term air quality impacts for some air emission impacts associated with the future development of properties in the Project Area can be reduced to less than a significant level through the implementation of feasible mitigation measures. Although most project level air emission impacts can be mitigated, there will be long-term cumulative air quality impacts that cannot be mitigated to less than significant levels. Therefore, the project will have cumulative unavoidable adverse air quality impacts. VII. ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT CEQA Guidelines Section 15126(d) requires a discussion of reasonable alternatives to the proposed project. The EIR evaluated three alternatives in addition to the proposed project. NO PROJECT ALTERNATIVE Finding Finding 3: Specific economic, social or other considerations make infeasible the project alternative identified in the EIR. Facts in Support of Finding As compared to the proposed project, there would be no significant unavoidable adverse impacts with the No Project Alternative. The Project Area could still be developed consistent with and as guided by the National City General Plan. Development of the Project Area consistent with the General Plan would allow development that could result in significant and unavoidable impacts similar to the Project. Thus, the No Project would not necessarily eliminate or reduce both the mitigated impacts and unavoidable adverse impacts of the Project. In addition, the City would not receive the benefits associated with the Project such as improving the economic condition of the downtown area, removing blight, and increasing revenue for the city due to increased retail sales and property taxes. EXPANDING THE PROEJCT AREA Finding Finding 3: Specific economic, social or other considerations make infeasible the project alternative identified in the EIR. Facts in Support of Finding This project alternative would expand the Project Area to include surrounding properties. National City Downtown Specific Plan 13 Finding of Fact/Statement of Overriding Considerations VHI. STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS The CDC has made a reasonable and good faith effort to mitigate potential impacts resulting from the development of the Project. Changes and alterations to the proposed development have been adopted which will substantially lessen or avoid significant environmental impacts as identified in the Draft EIR. Additionally, the CDC has adopted a Mitigated Monitoring and Reporting Program for the Downtown Specific Plan, which outlines how the mitigation measures that were adopted as part of the Project will be implemented, monitored and evaluated. The benefits of the proposed project have been balanced against and outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental impacts identified in the Draft EIR. The Community Development Commission of the City of National City makes the following Statement of Overriding Considerations. The following project -specific and cumulative impacts of the Downtown Specific Plan are considered significant and unavoidable based on the Draft EIR, Final EIR, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and the findings discussed previously: 1. The project will contribute to cumulative noise level increases and subsequent unavoidable noise impacts. 2. The project will contribute to cumulative air quality impacts in the San Diego Air Basin. The Community Development Commission of the City of National City, acting pursuant to Section 15093 of the State CEQA Guidelines, hereby finds that for the reasons set forth below, the economic, social, and other benefits of the project outweigh the unavoidable noise and air quality impacts identified in the findings. In making this finding, the Community Development Commission of the City of National City has balanced the benefits of the proposed project against its unavoidable environmental impacts and has indicated its willingness to accept those risks. In part, the project will provide the following benefits: 1. Increase retail sales and property tax for the City and the CDC. 2. Provide additional residential homes for the City of National City, which are needed. 3. Reduce and/or eliminate existing blighted conditions. 4. Enhance and improve the character and visual appearance of the downtown area and further strengthen the commercial and social activity in the downtown.

The National City Downtown Specific Plan land use designations, development standards, design guidelines, and development review procedures will be incorporated by reference in the General Plan. Where there is a conflict with the City's Land Use Code the National City Downtown Specific Plan shall take precedent. Where the National City Downtown Specific Plan is silent on issues, the Land Use Code shall be the goveming document. The Land Use Code states the authority for an adopted specific plan to override Code requirements; and WHEREAS, a Program Environmental Impact Report has been prepared for the Community Development Commission, pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, to evaluate the potential environmental impacts that could occur with the approval and implementation of the National City Downtown Specific Plan. Accordingly, on September 15, 2004, the Notice of Completion was prepared and filed with the State Clearinghouse of the Governor's Office of Planning and Research. The mandatory 45-day public review period commenced on September 17, 2004, and ended on November 1, 2004, at 5:00 p.m.; and WHEREAS, no public comments on the Program Environmental Impact Report were received; and Resolution No. 2005 — February 1, 2005 Page Two WHEREAS, on November 1, 2004, the Planning Commission held a duly advertised public hearing to consider the proposed National City Downtown Specific Plan and General Plan Amendment, along with all evidence and testimony presented at said hearing, and upon the conclusion of the public hearing the Planning Commission approved the National City Downtown Specific Plan and forwarded a recommendation of approval to the City Council; and WHEREAS, on February 1, 2005, the Community Development Commission, as the Lead Agency, held a duly advertised public hearing and certified the Program Environmental Impact Report for the proposed National City Downtown Specific Plan and General Plan Amendment, pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act; and WHEREAS, on November 26, 2004, a Public Hearing Notice was published in the National City Star News and The Daily Transcript, pursuant to the requirements of the California Government Code; and WHEREAS, on December 7, 2004 and February 1, 2005; the City Council held duly advertised public hearings to consider the recommendation and findings of the Planning Commission for approval of the National City Downtown Specific Plan and General Plan Amendment, along with evidence and testimony presented; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission and City Council have caused and duly held studies and proceedings for the timely amendment to the General Plan of the City of National City, pursuant to Title 7, Chapter 3, Article 6 of the Government Code of the State of California. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council finds that the National City Downtown Specific Plan and General Plan Amendment is in the public interest and is consistent with General Plan policies due to the fact that the intent of the National City Downtown Specific Plan is to reinforce the downtown as the civic center, hub of commercial commerce, attraction to modem living, and heart of National City, and as such the City Council has made the following findings: 1. The Community Development Commission has certified the Program Environmental Impact Report, adopted the Findings of Facts and Statement of Overriding Considerations, and approved the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. 2. The amendment to the General Plan and adoption of the National City Downtown Specific Plan, which would allow for revitalization of the downtown area through the implementation of new land use and development standards, design guidelines, and development review procedures, is in the public interest and is consistent with Resolution No. 2005 — February 1, 2005 Page Three General Plan policies due to the fact that the National City Downtown Specific Plan would facilitate the transformation of the downtown area into a vibrant core community. 3. The amendment to the General Plan and adoption of the National City Downtown Specific Plan would not affect the City's certified Housing Element in which National City shall comply with the provisions of Article 10.6 of the Califomia Government Code, including addressing the needs of all income levels, and due to the fact that no governmental constraints have been approved by the National City Downtown Specific Plan that would limit construction on the properties affordable to all household income levels. 4. The National City Downtown Specific Plan conforms to the proposed General Plan policy which calls for the reinforcement of the Downtown d as the City's heart, civic center, and commercial hub; by encouraging intensive commercial, residential and mixed -use, pedestrian -oriented development; and containing development standards that involve taller structures and higher densities, and also require lesser setbacks and fewer on -site parking spaces, relative to other areas of the City. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council amends Chapter II — Overall Urban Framework, on page 13, as Policy A of the General Plan to read as follows: The Downtown shall be reinforced as the City's heart, civic center, and commercial hub. To accomplish this, a specific plan should be drafted encouraging intensive commercial, residential and mixed -use, pedestrian - oriented development. Development standards of the specific plan may involve taller structures and higher densities, as well as require lesser setbacks and fewer on -site parking spaces, relative to other areas of the City.

Applications 1 fT App1irant'c Plan' (Fxhihit A -revised R and C` C'ace file nn S-2004-13, dated 11/22/2004 and 10/7/2004 respectively) BACKGROUND REPORT On August 2, 2004 Planning Commission initiated a General Plan Amendment and related Code Amendments for a 4.2-acre property on the east side of Cypress Street between 32nd Street and Sweetwater Road. The site is located in Lincoln Acres, an unincorporated area within National City's sphere of influence, and is prezoned Single -Family Small Lot (GP-PZ (RS-2)). It is irregularly shaped with only 95 feet of frontage on Cypress Street; most of the property is behind homes that front on Cypress Street. It is currently developed with several small single-family homes and their accessory structures. Weeds and grass cover much of the site; there are also several mature trees on -site. The property slopes down gently from the north to the south. Nearby uses also in Lincoln Acres include single-family homes and a cemetery to the north and to the west across Cypress Street. Adjacent uses in National City include Bonita Vista Mobile Home Park to the east of the site in the Mobile Home Park (RMH) Zone, and single-family homes, a restaurant (Mi Lindo Nayarit) and a bar (Plum Loco) south of the site in the General Commercial -Planned Development (CG-PD) Zone. The applicant proposes to develop 39 houses on the 4.2 acre project site. Before the site can be developed as proposed, the property will need to be annexed to National City. The applicant will work with the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) on annexation. The applicant has indicated that the full annexation area may include other properties on the east side of Cypress as well as the project site (see attached map); however, the proposed development will be confined to the project site described above. LAFCO asked that National City process the needed development permits and conduct the necessary environmental review before they consider an annexation request. Thus, the applicant's request for a General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, two Code Amendments and a development proposal for the 4.2- acre project site have been submitted to the City for your consideration. Specifically, the applicant proposes to change the zoning of the project site to General Plan-Prezone (Residential Two -Family) (GP-PZ (RT)) to allow a greater number of houses to be built on the site. It is necessary to change the zoning of the property prior to annexation, since State Law prohibits zone changes within two years following annexation. In order to accomplish the project, the applicant also proposes to amend the National City Municipal Code to allow more than two detached single-family condominium units on lots zoned Residential Two -Family (RT) when approved as part of a subdivision. An additional amendment will allow waiver of a building separation requirement of 10 or 15 feet for detached single-family condominium units in the RT, Single - Family Residential Extendable (RS-3) and Residential Multi -Family (RM-1) Zones, when approved as part of a subdivision. The draft amendments to the General Plan and Land Use Code are attached to this report. The proposed Zone Change and Code Amendments described briefly above are necessary to allow the applicant to develop a subdivision of 39 detached single-family condominiums on the 4.2-acre project site. The houses will be located behind the existing homes along Cypress Street (see attached Exhibit A - revised). Each house will have a fenced private rear yard between 10 and 18 feet deep; the yards will be 450 to over 800 square feet in size. The houses will be separated from each other by 10 feet or more, and will be set back from the private road proposed for access by 4 to 13 feet. Four house different house plans are proposed. They vary in size from 1,300 to 1,700 square feet and will have three to four bedrooms each. All plans will have two and a half bathrooms, a two -car garage and a fireplace; they will all be two -stories tall. Each house plan will have three exterior styles. The houses will feature stucco exteriors, stone veneer accenting, false shutters, concrete shake tile roofing, and painted wood trim. The above -mentioned private road will connect with Cypress Street to allow vehicular access to each house; it will also have a sidewalk along one -side for pedestrian access. The road will vary from 20 to 30 feet in width. Also proposed within the subdivision are 39 standard size surface parking spaces and two common open spaces areas of about 2,000 square feet each. In order to create level building pads, roads and yard areas the site will be graded; however, the site will still generally slope down from the north to the south. Six retaining walls will be needed to create the level areas for development. The longest of the walls will be along the west property line. The tallest point along any of the walls will be just over seven feet, and in most places the walls will be three feet or shorter. Both the common open space areas, the small front yards, the parkways along the private road and all slopes will be landscaped. The landscaping will consist of a mix of trees, shrubs and groundcover. For example, almost 80 trees (street trees, shade trees and accent trees) are proposed. The proposed development is consistent with a number of General Plan policies. For example, it will create new homeownership opportunities that will be suitable for families. However, it is necessary for the requested General Plan and Land Use Code Amendments to be approved to ensure that the project is in compliance with the General Plan. Thus, a recommended condition is attached making the approval of the subdivision conditional to approval of the requested amendments. The requested amendments are consistent with the General Plan since they will allow for a greater number of homeownership opportunities to be created by allowing three or more detached single-family condominiums on a lot in the RT Zone subject to review and approval of a subdivision. Additionally, the changes should still ensure high quality development encouraged by the General Plan by requiring the units to be detached single- family houses and by requiring approval of a subdivision. The proposed subdivision of 39 units is very similar to the Bonita Creek development that is currently under construction on the south side of Sweetwater Road east of Plaza Bonita. For example, the units are detached single-family houses with two car garages, with private roads to serve them. The proposed subdivision layout results in houses that are large enough for families and have sufficient yard areas and adequate parking. This style of development should mesh with the fabric of existing development in the area as the site is situated between existing single-family homes on Cypress Street (adjacent to the west side) and a higher density mobile home park on the east. The project will meet most current Land Use Code requirements, such as house size, private and common open space, and off-street parking spaces. A total of 93 parking spaces are required, and 117 are proposed; 78 of the spaces will be in private garages. The two proposed Code Amendments will address the only two current Code requirements the project will not meet. The project is consistent with City Design Guidelines that encourage high quality development with a varied appearance compatible with existing development. As proposed the development will feature a number of higher quality elements, including building materials and amenities (e.g. fireplaces). Additionally, with four different floor plans the development should have a varied appearance. The attached Proposed Negative Declaration and supporting Initial Study, support a finding that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment. Issues discussed in detail in the documents include potential changes to community character, continued and uninterrupted law enforcement and fire protection services, adequate provision of utilities (water, sewer, power, communications) and the ability of Cypress Street and other nearby roads to absorb the traffic generated by the project. As requested by LAFCO the documents not only cover the proposed Zone Change, amendments and development, but also the future annexation LAFCO will consider. Recommended conditions of approval are attached. They include standard conditions and the previously mentioned condition making approval of the subdivision dependent upon the proposed amendments. Additionally, the same condition makes the subdivision dependent upon the property being annexed to National City. Standard Engineering conditions, such as a grading/drainage plan and undergrounding of utilities, and special conditions from the Fire Department focusing on the provision of adequate fire lanes and fire hydrants have been included.

S-2004-13 WHEREAS, application was made for approval of a tentative subdivision map for a 4.2 acre property on the east side of Cypress Street for 39 single-family condominiums on property generally described as: Portion of Quarter Section 106 of Rancho De La Nacion in the County of San Diego, State of California, according to Map thereof No. 166, made by Morrill filed in the Office of the County Recorder of San Diego County, May 11, 1869 WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of National City, California, considered said applications at a duly advertised public hearing held on January 10, 2005 at which time the Planning Commission considered oral and documentary evidence; and, WHEREAS, at said public hearing the Planning Commission considered the staff report contained in Case File No. S-2004-13 which 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 required by State law and City law; and, WHEREAS, the action hereby taken is found to be essential for the preservation of the 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 introduced in the staff report and public hearing for said tentative subdivision map support the following findings: 1. Find that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment and adopt the proposed negative declaration. 2. The proposed map is consistent with the National City General Plan and applicable specific plans, since it will create 39 new homeownership opportunities suitable for families, and since the approval is conditional upon an amendment to the General Plan that will allow three or more detached single-family condominiums on a lot as part of a subdivision. 3. The site is physical- suitable for the proposed type of dev ment, since the proposed detached single-family condominiums are very similar to the predominant type of residential development in the area. 4. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development, since as shown in the site and floor plans in Exhibits A -revised and B (S-2004-13) the proposed houses are large enough for families, adequate yard areas, parking and open space areas will be provided. 5. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat, since the site is currently developed with several houses and is disturbed, and since there are no bodies of water on -site. 6. The design of the subdivision and the proposed/required improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems, since all necessary public services will be provided. 7. The design of the subdivision and the proposed/required improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision, since no such easements are located on the site. 8. The discharge of sewerage waste from the subdivision into the City of National City sewer system will not result in violation of existing requirements prescribed by the California Regional Quality Control Board pursuant to Division 7 (commencing with Section 13000) of the Water Code, as specified by Government Code Section 66474.6. 9. The subdivision has been considered by the Planning Commission with regard to its effect on the housing needs of the region, and these needs are balanced by the public service needs of the residents and available fiscal and environmental resources. 10. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive and natural heating and cooling opportunities in the subdivision, based on consideration of local climate, topography, property configuration and other design and improvement requirements without requiring reduction in allowable density or lot coverage. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that based on the findings hereinbefore stated, the Planning Commission hereby recommends approval of said tentative subdivision map for a 4.2 acre property on the east side of Cypress Street for 39 single-family condominiums, subject to the following conditions: 1.

As you know, LAFCO is responsible for encouraging the efficient provision of public services and has purview over changes to local government organization and any associated sphere of influence actions. Usually, LAFCO is a responsible agency for environmental review when jurisdictional changes are proposed. Accordingly, environmental documents should always contain a discussion of public facilities, how public services are to be provided to the project area, the ability of existing agencies to provide that service, and any growth inducing impacts. We recommend that the environmental assessment associated with the Cypress Glen project include a discussion of the following discretionary (jurisdictional) actions that will be subject to LAFCO purview: Annexation to National City; Detachment from Spring Valley Sanitation District; Detachment from South Bay Irrigation District; Detachment from County Service Area No. 135 (San Diego Regional Communications); and Detachment from Lower Sweetwater Fire Protection District. In context of the jurisdictional actions listed above, the National City Environmental Assessment Form and any associated attachments should include a discussion and analysis of the ability of the City to provide an adequate level of public services to the project site and the impact to the City caused by an increased demand for public services. William D. Smith /7 Steve Ray, Principal Planner Page 2 October 26, 2004 Of particular interest to LAFCO will be the provision of fire and police protection, and wastewater and water services. With respect to fire protection, the environmental assessment needs to address service impacts to the National City Fire Department and the Lower Sweetwater FPD caused by the detachment from the FPD. The resulting Toss of revenue to the FPD needs to be quantified and an assessment made as to the relative service impact to the fire district. If financial mitigation is proposed to lessen the service impact to the FPD, then this mitigation arrangement should be discussed in the environmental assessment. With respect to police protection, the environmental assessment should contain a discussion and comparison of response times and levels between the County Sheriff and National City Police Department. Any service level changes that are proposed by National City need to be quantified and a conclusion reached as to the impact to the City caused by an increased demand for police protection services. Lastly, the location and capacity of water and wastewater infrastructure, and ability of the affected agencies (City of National City and Sweetwater Authority) to extend services to the project area should be thoroughly discussed. Any growth inducing impacts to surrounding territory caused by the provision of public water and wastewater services need to be analyzed as to significance. The requested information must be contained in National City's environmental document to be adequate for LAFCO's use as a responsible agency for the Cypress Glen project and associated jurisdictional boundary changes. Should you have any questions, or if LAFCO may be of any further assistance, please contact Ingrid Hansen or me at (619) 531-5400.

FILE: CYPRESS GLEN Dear Mr. Hoskinson: This letter is in response to an Application for a Tentative Subdivision Map, Amendment to the Combined General Plan/Zoning Map, Code Amendment, and Environmental Initial Study for the subject property, within the Sweetwater Authority (Authority) service area. There is an 8-inch main on the east side of Cypress Avenue, and there are two existing domestic services to these parcels. Enclosed is a copy of 1/4 SEC. 109 map, which shows the existing water facilities. At this time, we cannot comment on the adequacy of the existing system to provide fire protection for this project. As plans develop for structures, the Owner must submit a letter to the Authority from the appropriate fire agency stating fire flow requirements, as well as a site plan, street improvement plan, irrigation plan, plumbing plan (showing total fixture -unit count), fire sprinkler plans, and calculations (if required). Based on this requirement, this project may result in the need for new water systems or substantial alteration to the existing water system. The Authority recommends that your Agency work with the Authority to determine if the existing water facilities are adequate to meet the added demands prior to issuing a building permit. Any new water services, including domestic, irrigation, and fire, will require backflow prevention assemblies that meet Sweetwater Authority standards. A Public Water Agency Serving National City, Chula Vista and Surrounding Areas Mr. Andrew Hoskinson Re: Water Availability — Cypress Glen November 3, 2004 Page 2 of 2 If the Owner provides the required fire flow information and enters into an agreement for water facility improvements with the Authority, water service can be obtained at a pressure ranging from a maximum of 84 p.s.i. to a minimum of 74 p.s.i.

POST - DIRECTOR PROPOSED NEGATIVE DECLARATION Project Description: The proposed project involves the annexation of 15 properties (approximately 7.25 acres) from the County of San Diego to the City of National City, detachment (for the same 15 properties) from the Lower Sweetwater Fire Protection District, Spring Valley Sanitation District, County Service Area No. 135, and the South Bay Irrigation District. The project will also involve an Amendment to the City of National City's Combined General Plan/Zoning Map for approximately 4.2 acres (four of the fifteen properties) near the center of the annexation area (see attached Map 2) from a prezone of single-family residential to a prezone of two-family residential. A condominium subdivision map will also be prepared for the 4.2 acre portion of the annexation area; it will be for 39 detached single-family houses, a private road, and common open space areas. The proposed two-story houses will be between 1,300 and 1,700 square feet in size, each will have a two -car garage, and private yard area. Finally, an Amendment to the text of the National City General Plan and Zoning Code will allow more than two units per lot in the Two -Family Residential Zone and reduced spacing between single-family detached units subject to approval of a condominium subdivision map. (Case File no. IS- 2004-10) Applicant: Cypress Glen LLC Address of Project: East side of Cypress Street between 32nd Street and Sweetwater Road ****************************************************************************** Project Discussion The project described above is in a developed area where most of the properties are developed with single-family houses, and Cypress Street is paved and improved with curb/gutter and sidewalks. The 4.2 acre portion of the site proposed to be developed with 39 single-family houses is disturbed, as it is developed with three single-family houses. The proposal will not significantly change the character of this community as it is already an urban area, and since the proposed development (single-family homes) is the same as the existing development. Requests for law enforcement services should be met with faster response times, and the National City Fire Department will continue to provide fire protection services to the area, as they currently do. The additional secured property tax National City would see as a result of the project would offset any potential reduction in the fire protection contract between the City and Lower Sweetwater Fire Protection District. National city has sufficient sewer capacity to handle the t3 Recycled Paper existing and future needs of the project area. Neither the utility (water, communications, power) providers nor the utility facilities will change as a result of the project. The development proposed as part of the project incorporates design features (such as narrow private roads, and drainage through landscaped areas) to handle stormwaters and protect water quality. Finally, the 350 Average Daily Trips generated by the project can be accommodated by Cypress Street, a local residential street with a low volume of traffic (it is not a through street), and by Sweetwater Road, which is operating at less than half of its capacity. Proposed Environmental Findings: 1. That the proposed Negative Declaration (IS-2004-10) has been considered together with any comments received during the public review process, and that based on the whole record (including the Initial Study and any comments received) there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment and that the Negative Declaration reflects the City's independent judgment and analysis. A copy of the Initial Study documenting reasons to support the finding is attached (IS-2004-10). o73 City of National City Planning Department 1243 National City Blvd., National City, CA 91950 (619) 336-4310 ROGER G. POST - DIRECTOR DRAFT INITIAL STUDY Project plans & Environmental Assessment Form Case File No.: IS-2004-10 received on 10/7/2004 and resubmitted 11/22/2004 Environmental Assessment Form Determined Complete by Andrew Hoskinson, Associate Planner Date 12/15/2004 Initial Study completed by Andrew Hoskinson, Date 12/21/2004 Associate Planner ****************************************************************************** Address of Project/ Location The project site includes Cypress Street and 15 properties on the east side of Cypress Street north of Sweetwater Road and south of 32nd Street (see attached Map 1) in the Lincoln Acres area of San Diego County adjacent to the southern portion of National City. Project Description The proposed project involves the annexation of 15 properties (approximately 7.25 acres) from the County of San Diego to the City of National City, detachment (for the same 15 properties) from the Lower Sweetwater Fire Protection District, Spring Valley Sanitation District, County Service Area No. 135, and the South Bay Irrigation District. The project will also involve an Amendment to the City of National City's Combined General Plan/Zoning Map for approximately 4.2 acres (four of the fifteen properties) near the center of the annexation area (see attached Map 2) from a prezone of single-family residential to a prezone of two-family residential. A condominium subdivision map will also be prepared for the 4.2 acre portion of the annexation area; it will be for 39 detached single-family houses, a private road, and common open space areas. The proposed two-story houses will be between 1,300 and 1,700 square feet in size, each will have a two - car garage, and private yard area. Finally, an Amendment to the text of the National City General Plan and Zoning Code will allow more than two units per lot in the Two -Family Residential Zone and reduced spacing between single-family detached units subject to approval of a condominium subdivision map. Environmental Setting The 15-property annexation area is mostly developed with single- family houses; typically one per property. The area is relatively ® Recycled Paper level, with a gentle slope primarily from the north down to the south. Much of the 4.2 acre portion of the annexation area proposed to be developed with 39 single-family houses is vacant, disturbed land. It is currently partially developed with several small houses and their appurtenant structures. There is little paving on this portion of the site; it is mostly covered with weeds and grass, and three mature trees. There are no bodies of water, or shrubs on -site. Cypress Street is improved with sidewalks, curb and gutter on both sides of the street and is in good condition. Uses around the site include a large mobile home park adjacent to the east, single-family houses to the west across Cypress Street, a cemetery to the north and a restaurant/bar and several single- family houses adjacent to the south. ****************************************************************************** Conclusion: 1) X A Negative Declaration is proposed, since X (a) There is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment; or (b) The project may result in a significant environmental impact but revisions in the plans by the applicant mitigate or avoid the effects where clearly no significant effects would occur; or, 2) An EIR is required since the project may result in a significant environmental impact. RECOMMENDATION: That the project approving authority consider the proposed Negative Declaration together with any comments received during the public review process and find 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. LAND USE AND COMMUNITY CHARACTER: The proposed General Plan/Zone Change for 4.2 acres of the entire 7.25 acre annexation area will allow two-family development where single-family development would be allowed under the current Zoning, if annexed to National City. Essentially 17.4 units/acre will be allowed, where 8.7 units/acre would be allowed under the current Zoning, again if annexed. However, the development of 39 single-family detached houses proposed for the same 4.2 acre area as part of this project will result in a density of 14.4 units/acre, excluding area intended for the proposed private roads. While this density is greater than the existing density in the area (which is just under 3 units/acre in the annexation area) the resulting development will feature detached single- family houses with two -car garages and private yard areas similar to the primary style of development in the area. Additionally, the proposed development has been arranged such that the proposed houses will all be located to the rear of the existing single-family homes in the area. oise— Thus, there will be no significant effect to the environment caused by the proposed change in land use. The character of the community can be expected to change minimally with annexation from the County of San Diego to the City of National City, since the proposed annexation area is already developed, as noted above, with single-family homes. PUBLIC SERVICES: Public Safety - As the project site is in an unincorporated area the Sheriffs Department responds to calls for law enforcement services. Annexation to National City will transfer the responsibility to the National City Police Department. This transfer should result in a higher level of service, as National City Police report a 7 minute response time for high priority calls to the Police Beat that will include the area, versus an almost 12 minute response time reported by the Sheriff's Department. Additionally, the small number of structures (including the proposed development of 39 single-family houses) and residents in the project area represent only a small increase to National City. According to a representative of the National City Police Department, this small increase will not necessitate additional staffing or equipment levels. Upon annexation to National City, the territory will be detached from County Service Area (CSA) No. 135 (San Diego Regional Communications ). This CSA provides a common method of communication among public safety agencies. By virtue of National City currently being a participating member of the CSA, detachment will not change the provision of this service. All fire protection and firefighting services are currently provided to the project area by the National City Fire Department through a service contract with the Lower Sweetwater Fire Protection District (FPD). Lower Sweetwater FPD receives a portion of property tax revenue generated within the FPD Boundary, and uses those funds to pay the cost of the contract (which is currently $155,00 per annum). The total amount collected from the 15 properties proposed for annexation is approximately $5,100. National City and Lower Sweetwater FPD periodically negotiate the terms of the contract; the current contract is set to expire in October 2005. Negotiations to extend and/or to modify the contract will likely take place in Summer 2005. According to a representative of the National City Fire Department, the terms of the contract would likely be modified in 2005 to reflect any changes, including the proposed annexation. Also, the approximately $3,350 of additional secured property tax revenue National City would likely collect (based on current tax bills, and excluding the proposed development of 39 new single-family homes) would off -set most of any potential contract reduction negotiated in 2005. Thus, the project would not have a significant effect on public safety services. Sanitation - Annexation of the project site from the County of San Diego to National City will result in sewer services being provided by National City, rather than by Spring Valley Sanitation District. The existing eight -inch sewer line in the Cypress Street right-of-way already flows south to a National City sewer line. The National City Engineering Department has identified no concerns with providing sewer services for the existing and/or proposed development. Thus, there will be no significant effects caused by a switch to National City as the sewer services provider. UTILITY NETWORKS: The utilities (water, power, phone networks) for the project site and for the City of National City are the same. For example, although the site will be detached from South Bay Irrigation District (SBID) water service provision would remain unchanged since National City receives water by contract with SBID/Sweetwater Authority. Thus, annexation from San Diego County to National City will not significantly affect the existing utility networks. None of the three service providers (Sweetwater Authority, SBC, and SDG&E) identified any concerns over providing additional service for the 39 proposed single-family houses. Thus, there will be no significant effect on existing utility networks. TRAFFIC/TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS: The proposed development of 39 single-family homes on 4.2 acres of the annexation area will generate approximately 350 Average Daily Trips, based on the Brief Guide of Vehicular Traffic Generation Rates for the San Diego Region, prepared by SANDAG. Cypress Street, which is a local residential road should have sufficient capacity to accommodate the additional vehicular trips. First, the type (single-family residential) and density of development along it results in a low number of ADT. Second, Cypress Street extends only three blocks north of the project area and does not provide through access. Sweetwater Road, a prime arterial with a capacity of 50,000 ADT and a current volume of about 21,000 ADT, should also have sufficient capacity to handle the minimal number of trips the project will generate. Thus, there will be no significant effect on the environment caused by traffic generated by the proposed project. WATER QUALITY: The proposed development of 4.2 acres within the proposed annexation area will result in an increase in impervious surfaces. However, the project has been designed with a number of non- structural Best Management Practices (BMPs), such as roof drains to landscape areas and a private road (which is significantly narrower than a public road) that will significantly reduce the potential impact the development could have on water quality. As with all development, a drainage plan, including structural BMPs necessary to ensure that there is no impact on water quality, will be required prior to development. Thus, the proposed development will not have a significant effect on water quality. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES: Only 4.2 acres of the 7.25-acre project area is proposed to be redeveloped; the physical conditions of the other three acres will remain unaffected by the proposed project. The 4.2 acre area proposed to be redeveloped is currently developed with four single-family houses and their appurtenant structures, such as storage sheds and fences. Much of the area is used as large private yard areas. The area is generally covered by weeds and grass, and evidence of human disturbance are present. Thus, the project will not have a significant impact on biological resources. 27 NOISE: The proposed single-family development, similar to the primary style of development in the area, should not lead to increased noise levels. The temporary noise effects that would be associated with the construction of the proposed houses, would be subject to National City's Noise Ordinance (Title 12 of the National City Municipal Code), which will limit construction to day time hours during the week. Thus, the project will not have a significant effect on the existing noise environment. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS/SITE CONDITIONS: The 15 properties located within the project area are currently developed with lower density residential development, and none of the properties is listed on the County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health's Hazardous Materials Establishment Listing website. Thus, there are no hazardous site conditions nor will the proposed development result in the introduction of hazardous materials to the environment.

The Cypress Glen project consists of 39 single-family dwellings on 4.22 acres. The project will be served from Cypress Street; a private street will be constructed from Cypress Street into the project to serve the 39 homes. Sewer, water, gas, electric are proposed at the intersection of Cypress Street and the Private Street entering the project. Sewer and storm drain extensions at the southwesterly corner of the project in Cypress Street. Surrounding land uses are as follows: Commercial land use to the south and southwest of the subject property. Single-family residential land use to the west and north of the property. A mobile home park is located along the easterly boundary of the property. The project will require a change to the general plan/zoning designations that are presently in place. The planning commission approved the request to initiate a change to the general plan/zoning map on August 2, 2004. The existing zone is is GP/PZ (RS-2) the new zone will be GP/PZ (RT). The project site is a slightly sloping property running from the northeast to the southwest. The past land use of the property has been residential. There are seven residential units on the property, two towards the northerly property line and five at the southerly end of the property. The middle portion of the property is open yard area. The property to the south of the subject property fronts on Sweetwater Road; the properties are developed with a restaurant (Mi Lindo Nayarit), a bar (Plum Loco), and small scale residential use in the CG (General Commercial) zone. The property to the east is developed with a mobile home park (Bonita Vista Trailer Park). The property to the west of the site consists of residential lots ranging in size from 5,000 square feet to 10,000 square feet. Some of the larger lots have more than one home on the lot. The property to the north is one acre in size and is used as for residential purposes. ya ATTACHMENT "B" Answer to Question 19 Yes, the project will require a change to the general plan/zoning map. We believe that the change in the general plan / zoning map from GP/PZ (RS-2) to GP/PZ (RT) will have no significant environmental effect. All of the service agencies required for the project have adequate capacity to accept a project of this size into their system. Answer to Question 20 Yes, the project will require a change to an existing code requirement. The project will require a code amendment to the RT zone relating to the number of units that can be constructed on a single lot. The RT zone presently permits the construction of two dwelling units, either as a duplex or two single family structures on a five thousand square foot lot. The project as designed will be a single lot subdivision with 39 homes, private streets and open space within the single lot. The code will need to be changed to permit this type of subdivision within the RT zone. We believe that the code change will have no significant environmental effect. Answer to Question 31 Yes, the project will involve the demolition or removal of existing improvements. The existing residential units on the subject property will be removed prior to the grading of the site. All demolition work will be done per the City codes and requirements. We believe that the existing homes have no environmental significance to the property or the surrounding properties.

S-2004.-13 and IS-2004-10 which 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 required by State 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 that the City Council of the City of National City hereby approves the tentative subdivision map to divide a 4.2 acre property on the east side of Cypress Street for 39 single-family condominiums based on the following findings: 1. The proposed map is consistent with the National City General Plan and applicable specific plans, since it will create 39 new homeownership opportunities suitable for families, and since the approval is conditional upon an amendment to the General Plan that will allow three or more detached single-family condominiums on a lot as part of a subdivision. Resolution No. 2005 — February 1, 2005 Page Two 2. The site is physically suitable for the proposed type of development, since the proposed detached single-family condominiums are very similar to the predominant type of residential development in the area. 3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development, since as shown in the site and floor plans in Exhibits "A -revised" and "B" (S-2004-13) the proposed houses are large enough for families, adequate yard areas, parking and open space areas will be provided, 4. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat, since the site is currently developed with several houses and is disturbed, and since there are no bodies of water on -site. 5. The design of the subdivision and the proposed/required improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems, since all necessary public services will be provided. 6. The design of the subdivision and the proposed/required improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision, since no such easements are located on the site. 7. The discharge of sewerage waste from the subdivision into the City of National City sewer system will not result in violation of existing requirements prescribed by the Califomia Regional Quality Control Board pursuant to Division 7 (commencing with Section 13000) of the Water Code, as specified by Govemment Code Section 66474.6. 8. The subdivision has been considered by the Planning Commission with regard to its effect on the housing needs of the region, and these needs are balanced by the public service needs of the residents and available fiscal and environmental resources. 9. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive and natural heating and cooling opportunities in the subdivision, based on consideration of local climate, topography, property configuration and other design and improvement requirements without requiring reduction in allowable density or lot coverage. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council has considered the proposed Negative Declaration No. IS-2004-10 together with any comments received during the public review process, and finds on the basis of the whole record (including the Initial Study and any comments received) that there is no substantial evidence that Resolution No. 2005 — February 1, 2005 Page Three the project will have a significant effect on the environment and that the Negative Declaration reflects the City's independent judgment and analysis, and hereby approves the Negative Declaration and authorizes the filing of a Notice of Determination.

At the January 18, 2005 City Council meeting, the Council considered the request of attorney Louis Wolfsheimer, representing the owner of the property at the northwest corner of Plaza Boulevard and Highland Avenue, to amend the ordinance to allow for an exception to its provisions. (See attached letter dated January 4, 2005). The proposed exception would apply to any check cashing or payday advance business which relocates from one site to another site within the City, resulting in no net increase in the number of businesses within the City, provided that the following conditions are met: (a) The site from which the business is being .relocated is leased by the owner and the site to which the business is being relocated is owned by the owner and (b) The distance between the site from which the business is being relocated is from the site to which the business is being relocated; and (c) The business which is being relocated is owned by the same owner. of the business, of the business; 100 feet or less This request was approved by the City Council, and the proposed ordinance would establish the requested exception to the moratorium. During the discussion of the request, it was noted that in Section 2 of the moratorium ordinance, City staff and the Planning Commission is directed to undertake studies and make recommendations for the adoption of regulations governing check cashing and payday advance businesses. Councilwoman Zarate requested that in complying with this direction, staff and the Planning Commission pay particular attention to potential regulations of signage for the businesses, as well as the possibility of regulating fees and interest rates for the payday advance portion of such businesses.

OF COUNSEL TO PROCOPIO, CORY, HARGREAVES 6 SAVITCH LLP January 4, 2005 The Honorable Louie Natividad Council Member, City of National City 1243 National City Blvd. National City, CA 91950 Dear Council Member Natividad, ITEM #17 .1/18/0 530 B STREET SUITE5 1850 SAN OIEGO, CALIFORNIA 92101-4469 TELEPHONE (619) 231-9933 FAX 1619) 231-8179 On November 16, 2004 the City Council voted to extend the Emergency Ordinance originally adopted in December of 2003 which barred new check cashing businesses from opening in National City. Prior to the vote Mayor Inzunza noted that there had been discussion concerning an instance where a check cashing store desired to move and transfer it's business license from a rental site to a location across the street which was owned and being redeveloped by the store operator. It was suggested that consideration of allowing the transfer of the license in this exceptional circumstance, where there would be no net increase in sites, could be addressed by the council at a future meeting. We represent the store operator who has already received a conditional use permit to redevelop a significant site on the northwest corner of Plaza and Highland, which is a 43,600 sq. ft. parcel with the intention of redeveloping of a 13,000 sq. ft. building. This same operator/developer has an existing lease for a check cashing store in a 2300 sq.ft. location known as the "Shapiro site" directly across the street from this redevelopment site. Our client wishes to discontinue his lease in the "Shapiro site" and transfer his license to an 1800 sq.ft. portion of his 13,000 sq.ft. redeveloped building for his existing checking cashing business. The plans for the redevelopment of this parcel were originally filed with the city on December 8, 2003. At that time the city was made fully aware of the intention to use a small portion redeveloped building area as a transfer location for the check cashing business across the street. The project had been discussed with both the mayor and Ben Martinez of Community Development for an extensive period prior to filing in December of 2003. It is significant to recall that Mr. Martinez was very positive about plans for leaving the "Shapiro site" for the new location since this would help in the possible redevelopment of the "Shapiro site". In April of 2004 a conditic:,41 use permit for this redeveloped shopping center at the northwest corner of Plaza Blvd. and Highland Avenue wasapproved by the City Council, Because of the moratorium, .heck cashing and payday advance businesses were prohibited at that time frc , operating on the premises. This restriction, of course, can be modified by the City Council. We suggest that the strict interpretation of the Moratorium would place an unfair burden on our client since it had already formed its redevelopment plan many months prior to any final council action on the moratorium, and staff knowing that our client was proposing to move his business from across the street, was extremely positive about this major redevelopment on this important intersection. Based upon staffs enthusiastic support, our client moved rapidly forward, expending substantial funds to complete the necessary engineering and design studies. We would ask that the present Moratorium Ordinance be amended to alleviate this inequity to our client and it can be done without doing harm to the goals of the moratorium. There would be no net increase in licenses, but merely a transfer from a leased site to one owned by the licensee. Besides allowing a transfer from a rental site to an owned site, further qualifying conditions might include: 1. The setting of a maximurr,.distance between an existing leasedsite that is closing_tc2 a new site, owned by the same owner. We would suggest a distance of between 100 and 150 feet. Thus, the transfer of a business license by the same business owner could only occur if the distance between the existing site and the new site is less than 100 to 150 feet and is the new site owned by the licensee. 2. A second qualification might relate to the date that the plans were originally submitted for any new/transferred site. We would suggest that if plans were submitted prior to the formal establishment of the interim moratorium (Jan. 6, 2004) that the new site location should be exempt from the prohibition provisions. We believe that only our client, USA Checks Cashed, was caught up in the emergency ordinance and only our client will be affected by your remedial action, which will not change the number of licenses existing in National City. We would appreciate the courtesy of a brief meeting with you to review with you the plans for this redevelopment and we will call you in the first week of the new year for such an appointment.
