The goals of the survey were: • to assess attitudes and perceptions of National City business owners with regard to overall quality of life in National City, • to assess attitudes and perceptions of National City business owners about recent and future city projects, • to assess business owners' perceptions of the "business climate" in National City, • to assess attitudes of business owners regarding the city's surveillance camera program, and • to collect comparative data from business owners on similar question items that were administered in the February 2005 survey of community residents. Questions in the survey were collected from, or informed by, a variety of sources including: the February 2005 survey conducted for the City by Competitive Edge, the National City website, the National City Downtown Specific Plan, "2005 Indicators of Sustainable Competitiveness: A Quality of Life Index for San Diego," and "Small Business Survival Index 2004 (Raymond J. Keating, Small Business and Entrepreneurship Council: October 2004), as well as several surveys done with business owners in other U.S. cities. SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH LABORATORY, SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY PAGE 2 ATIONAL CITY BUSINESS SURVEY (FALL 2005) INTRODUCTION AND METHODOLOGY This study was designed to measure the perceptions and attitudes of business owners in the city of National City regarding quality of life and conditions for owning and operating a business within the city. The study was conducted in August, September, and October 2005 by San Diego State University's Social Science Research Laboratory (SSRL) on behalf of the City Manager's Office. Specific questions included in the study were designed to measure business owners' perceptions of quality of life and "business climate" in National City, to assess business owners' perceptions of recent city projects, measure attitudes and predisposition of business owners towards the city surveillance camera program, and to collect comparative data from business owners on survey questions that were asked in the February 2005 survey of residents. The SSRL was provided with a list of approximately 2,470 businesses licensed in National City. These businesses were grouped into seven categories, according to business type. From this list, the SSRL generated a randomly selected sample representing the entire list in terms of the proportion of original business categories (Appendix E). The data for the study were derived from telephone interviews with business owners or managers (if business owners were not available) from this population. A total of 311 telephone interviews were completed between August 2 and October 11, 2005. The sampling error associated with samples of this size is +/- 5.0%, at a confidence level of 95%. For example, since 49% of the respondents believe that National City is a good place to own and operate a business, there is a 95% chance the true proportion of National City business owners who have this same opinion is between 54% and 45% (49% +/- 5%). This margin of error is reduced when the difference between percentages is greater (when the split is 75%/25%, for example), and it is increased when addressing smaller subsamples (looking at only business owners who also reside in the city, for example). SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH LABORATORY, SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY PACE 3 ATIONAL CITY BUSINESS SURVEY (FALL 2005) All of the telephone interviews were conducted at the SSRL Research Services facility at San Diego State University from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on weekdays, 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays, and from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sundays. The median interview length was 26 minutes. Due to the nature of this elite population, the interviewers selected to work on this project were the most experienced and senior members of the interviewing staff. A variety of quality control measures were employed throughout the interviewing and data reduction phases. The survey instrument was pilot tested in order to identify any measurement problems. Each interviewer was trained in proper interviewing techniques, obtaining respondent participation, and accurately recording responses and the importance of confidentiality. At least seven attempts were made to contact each business owner on the list before the sample record was retired. These call-backs were made on different days and at different times to maximize the chance of reaching a randomly selected, eligible respondent. The final dispositions of the telephone numbers attempted, and the response rate and cooperation rate calculations are reported in Table 1. The survey was programmed using Sawtooth's Ci3 program. Automatic skip patterns were programmed into the survey in order to reduce the possibility of interviewer error. Interviews were conducted using Sawtooth's WinCATI computer -assisted telephone interviewing software system. Interviews in progress were selectively and unobtrusively monitored by supervisors. Data cleaning and analysis were performed in SPSS. This report provides a summary of the results for all question items included in the study and selected charts depicting key findings, as well as a discussion of crosstabulations illustrating consistent statistical associations between key issues and selected socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents. Additional charts are provided at the end of this report.

The majority of business owners believe business conditions in the city are the same as or better than they were last year, and many expect these conditions to .improve over the next year. Business owners give city government much credit for the positive business climate. Among business owners' most commonly reported needs are more street lighting and customer parking. Overall, business owners feel that labor force needs are being met, and they appear optimistic about employment levels at their businesses. The majority of respondents rate overall quality of life in the city as good, very good or terrific. Most business owners polled consider the quality of life in National City to have either improved or remained the same over the past year, and most attribute improvement in quality of life to city government efforts or recent development. Overall, respondents are satisfied with community services. The majority of business owners are aware of the Community Development Commission; however, few of them have a good understanding of the respective roles of the city government and the Commission. A relative minority of business owners had contact with city departments; however, those who did contact a city department were satisfied with their interaction. Although few business owners have visited the city's website, most of those who did rated the website as good or excellent. An overwhelming majority of respondents reported they would likely use city services if they were available via the website. Many of the recent community development projects are viewed by respondents as having been integral to positive changes in the business SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH LABORATORY, SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY PAGE 41 ATIONAL CITY BUSINESS SURVEY FALL 2005) climate. Many owners anticipate that the planned higher education facility will improve National City's image, attract new investors and business, and provide more customers for local shops. The vast majority of business owners perceive surveillance cameras as an effective crime deterrent, but only a minority currently have cameras installed at their place of business. There is some interest among business owners in partnering with the city to install cameras; however, many business owners would like to have more information about such a partnership. In sum, business owners and operators are generally satisfied with National City as a place to operate a business. The areas in which the city might enhance services are as follows: publicizing city services as well as the role of the Community Development Commission; publicizing the city website and expanding the availability of information and services via the Internet; providing print and online information to local business owners about the surveillance camera program; and increasing awareness of city council projects and objectives.

no need in this area there is no crime and no point to install them ineffective it's in the mall and so we have security around it's two -car garage; no need for cameras it depends on the cost it is a cart where I sell my product it is not needed it is safe here, no one can enter the building after 7:00 pm it would cost me money with permit, just like the permit for the alarm I'm required by insurance to have that they charge me $50 for every time it resets/goes off falsely just a small business, I don't need camera likely to relocate my business is located in area where there is enough lighting never thought about putting cameras on ice cream truck no current security concerns no need (7) no need currently no need due to good security gates and alarm system no need: lot is secure no one here no plans to install them National City Business Survey (Fall 2005) Social Science Research Laboratory, SDSU B20 If respondent would not like to install surveillance camera in future, continued not as effective as they could be: we don't have small things that can be stolen and enough people to watch over things not available in mall not beneficial at my location not cost effective for the results not necessary (2) not necessary and I feel they are an invasion of privacy not the owner of the building out of two locations, this particular one has never been broken into response time of police is too slow small restaurant the place is safe and moreover this is just a beauty salon and not a big business too expensive (2) unsure how long will operate business due to eminent domain we're right behind the police station we are not going to be here for a long time as we are relocating we are only there one month each year: not cost-effective because we are a seasonal business we don't have much to secure, except the building we have alarms and for the type of business we have it is not necessary we have not had a problem to need surveillance cameras we haven't had any crime -related incidents in eight years: I guess people don't want what we have we now have installed automatic door locks wouldn't benefit us No response (10) Q43.

(This project is funded by the Proposition A TransNet Funds.) Explanation: On September 9, 2004 the City of National City issued a Request for Qualification seeking three Civil Engineering Consultants to perform Civil Engineering Services for the various Capital Improvement Projects. We received statements from eight qualified firms of which Tetra Tech was selected as one of the most qualified by experience and ability to perform the required services. On April 5, 2005 the City Council issued Resolution No. 2005-64 authorizing the Mayor to execute a multiyear contract with this company. On October 4, 2005, by Resolution No. 2005-217, the City Council awarded a contract to Manhole Adjusting Contractors, Inc. for the National City Resurfacing Project, FY 05-06, Specification No. 04-09. Staff has considered that Tetra Tech Inc. can provide the inspection services for this project during construction. Recently, Tetra Tech has completed the inspection of the National City Street Resurfacing Program, FY 03-04 and the National City Blvd-7`h to 12t Improvements Project. Tetra Tech is familiar with the City's construction inspection requirements. The engineering services will include the daily general inspection activities. Based upon the staffs request, Tetra Tech has proposed a plan, outlined in Exhibit "A" of the agreement, to perform the required services. The scope of work is consistent with the City's inspection needs. The work can be accomplished through an Agreement to the existing "As -needed" contract. The final scope of work is attached as part of the Agreement that is being presented to the Council for approval. The fee for performing the work per the cost proposal is a "Not to Exceed" amount of $ 138,895 which represents approximately 6% of the street resurfacing construction costs. Our staff inspector is inspecting the concrete sidewalk, gutter and curb replacement.

Finance tor Account No. BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION N/A ATTACHMENTS ( Listed Below ) 1. Resolution 2. Contract Resolution No. A-200 (Rev. 7/03) EXPLANATIONti On about December 20 it was discovered that the closed loop fire hydrant water system in the Fire Station Training yard was not working properly. Investigation revealed that the pipe on the suction side of the 80 HP pump was leaking and therefore the pump was loosing it's prime while shut off, then not able to re -prime when turned on. The leak was discovered because water was entering the vault through the dry packing around the pipe penetration. The contractor was informed of the issue and directed to correct the problem. The suction line was pressure tested and it was confirmed that it did in fact have a leak. The concrete surface around the vault was cut and earth was excavated to expose the piping. It was determined that the piping was leaking in several areas, all associated with the iron to PVC couplings at the bends. On January 3, 2006 a couple of sections of PVC pipe were removed. It was determined that the PVC had been deformed out of round, while the iron is not, thereby causing the leaks at the unions. The manufacture's representative for the pipe was consulted by the City (and the Contractor.) The manufacture looked at the pipe and stated that the mode of failure appeared to be associated with excessive heat. They further stated the specifications on the pipe allow it to be used in situations were the fluid contained is 140 degrees F. or less. In July of this year it was reported by the Fire Department through the warranty process that the water in the system was extremely hot — A Battalion chief measured the temperature and reported it was in excess of 180 degrees. Investigation into why the water heated to such a point revealed that the pump was left in "Manual" mode on for several days running in a closed loop from the pump, through the pressure relief check valve back to the tank, and returning to the pump. In effect using the pressure relief system designed to relieve pressure when the hydrants are closed before the pump shuts down as it does in "Automatic" mode. Electricity bills from July confirm this as the electricity usage increased by approximately 50% ($1,450) during the billing period that this occurred. The contractor was also involved in this investigation. Based upon the above is clear that this cannot be considered a warranty item and repaired as such, although half the work has been done Marcotte and Hearne under the original assumption that it was a warranty issue. It appears that the leaks started in July of 2005, but didn't get discovered until water founds its way into the pump vault, thereby increasing the rate in which leaking occurred and causing the loss of pump prime. The contractor has prepared the attached proposal to repair the facility. The proposal covers the work they have already accomplished to date related to this leak, and an estimate of the cost to put the system back together including the concrete pavement. Further we have asked them to include in the control system a thermal shut-off switch so as to avoid this type of situation in the future.

At those hearings, the Commission continually expressed concern regarding the awkward design and the need for several Variances relating to parking (i.e. number of parking spaces, back-up space, parking stall width and travel from the commercial parking spaces in a backwards movement into a public street). Due to the existing lot size and configuration, the Commission determined that it was not feasible to provide the ten required parking spaces on -site, since the existing driveway cut along 16th Street would be removed thereby providing several new on -street parking spaces. The project is consistent with several General Plan policies including the use of vertical mixed -use development that provides both housing and neighborhood level businesses/services that will be easily accessible to nearby residents. As a result, the Planning Commisssion conditionally approved the proposal, including exceptions for the required number of parking spaces and the width of a parking stall at their January 9, 2006 meeting.

Project Plans A-200 (9/99) RESOLUTION NO. 2-2006 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A NEW 2,700 SQUARE FOOT TWO-STORY OFFICE/RESIDENTIAL BUILDING AT 3110 E. 16TH STREET APPLICANT: REGINA AGARMA CASE FILE NO. CUP-2005-26 WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of National City considered a Conditional Use Permit application for a new 2,700 square foot two-story office/residential building at 3110 E. 16th Street at a duly advertised public hearing held on January 9, 2006, at which time oral and documentary evidence was presented; and, WHEREAS, at said public hearing the Planning Commission considered the staff report contained in Case File No. CUP-2005-26 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 recited herein is found to be essential for the preservation of public health, safety, and general welfare. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of National City, California, that the testimony and evidence presented to the Planning Commission at the public hearing held on January 9, 2006, support the following findings: RECOMMENDED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 1. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape, since the 6,200 square -foot property can accommodate a mixed -use development of a small office / residential building, with sufficient off-street and on -street parking and landscaping. 2. That the site has sufficient access to streets and highways that are adequate in width and pavement type to carry the volume and type of traffic generated by the proposed use, since 16th Street, which is a collector with a capacity of 10,000 Average Daily Trips (ADT) and a current volume of 7,400 ADT, can easily accommodate the minuscule increase of less than 20 ADT over the existing use of the site. 3. That the proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting properties, since the scale of the proposal (two-story construction) is appropriate given the existing neighborhood character. Also, the approximately 850 square -foot increase in office / residential space on -site will result in the need for only four additional parking spaces which will functionally be provided on the street immediately in front of the business and pedestrian safety will be enhanced by reducing the driveway width and by designing a more functional parking lot that will allow vehicles to enter the street in a forward movement. 4. That the proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience and welfare, since the location of appropriately sized office/retail uses on collector streets within existing single-family neighborhoods provides opportunities for neighborhood level businesses/services that will be easily accessible to nearby residents, and since the proposed development, as conditioned, should significantly enhance the appearance of the property. RECOMMENDED FINDING FOR APPROVAL OF REQUESTED MIXED - USE EXCEPTIONS FOR A REDUCTION IN PARKING REQUIREMENTS Granting of the exception for, a half -foot reduction in width of one parking space and a reduction in the number of required off-street parking spaces, is in accordance with the intent and purpose of the Land Use Code, and is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable Specific Plans, since the General Plan strongly encourages vertical mixed -use development and the revitalization of commercial areas. The requested exceptions facilitate the development of a vertical mixed -use development while protecting an adjacent established single-family neighborhood by maximizing on -street parking and enhancing the appearance of the project site. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the application for Conditional Use Permit is approved subject to the following conditions: 1. This Conditional Use Permit authorizes a 1,580 square -foot office space.

City of National City, California COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT MEETING DATE February 21, 2006 AGENDA ITEM NO. 13 ITEM TITLE Notice of Decision — Zone Variance for a Sign Within the Side Yard Setback at an Existing Shopping Center at 936 Highland Avenue (Applicant: Jerry Murdock) (Case File No. Z-2005-7) PREPARED BY Angela Reed r , 336-4310 DEPARTMENT Planning EXPLANATION The project site is the existing one -acre shopping center at the northwest comer of Highland Avenue and Plaza Boulevard in the General Commercial (CG) Zone. When pursuing recent approval for expansion of the center, the applicant proposed a sign program that included two 35-foot tall freestanding signs, one on Highland Avenue and one on Plaza Boulevard. At that time, the sign adjacent to Highland Avenue was granted a Variance for being within the required 10-foot setback. The applicant now proposes to relocate the pole sign along Plaza Boulevard farther away from the building and closer to the property line. The new location is approximately 75 feet from the building, on the southwest comer of the lot. In order to place the sign in this area without impacting the parking lot, the sign is proposed within the four - foot landscape planter along the edge of the parking lot. The new sign location would encroach into the required 4- foot setback along Plaza Boulevard, which was not covered by the previous Variance. The applicant contends moving the sign farther from the building will allow more visibility and be less restrictive of pedestrian movement. The location of the property within a major commercial corridor of the City does intensify the need for effective signs for the center. The location originally planned for the Plaza Boulevard sign was in the concrete walkway between the building and the parking lot, approximately 15 feet from the building. While the freestanding sign is 35 feet tall, the adjacent building is 25 feet tall, which could reduce visibility of the lower portion of the sign to westbound traffic on Plaza Boulevard. Therefore, moving the sign farther from the building should allow greater visibility. Planning Commission held a public hearing on this item at the January 23, 2006 meeting. The Commission voted to approve the proposal, finding the location of the site in a major commercial corridor makes it difficult to provide required off-street parking and place functional freestanding signs outside of required setback areas.

Z-2005-7 WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of National City considered a Zone Variance application for a sign within the side yard setback at an existing shopping center at 936 Highland Avenue at a duly advertised public hearing held on January 23, 2006, at which time oral and documentary evidence was presented; and, WHEREAS, at said public hearings the Planning Commission considered the staff report contained in Case File No. Z-2005-7 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 recited herein is found to be essential for the preservation of public health, safety, and general welfare. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of National City, California, that the testimony and evidence presented to the Planning Commission at the public hearing held on January 23, 2006, support the following findings: 1. That because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including topography, and location or surroundings, the strict application of Title 18 of the Municipal Code (Zoning) deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under the identical zone classification, since the location of the existing developed property in a major commercial corridor makes it difficult to provide all required off-street parking and place functional freestanding signs outside of required setback areas. 2. That the requested Variance is subject to such conditions which will assure that the adjustment authorized will not constitute the granting of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which such property is situated, since other commercial sites in the General Commercial Zone are allowed to have freestanding pole signs and most are not as constrained by having buildings at the property line, 3. That the Variance does not authorize a use or activity which is not otherwise expressly authorized by the zoning regulations governing the parcel of property, since retail commercial centers in the General Commercial Zone are allowed advertising through freestanding pole signs. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the application for Zone Variance is approved subject to the following conditions: 1. This Zone Variance authorizes a freestanding sign in the side yard setback area along Plaza Boulevard at a shopping center at the northwest corner of Plaza Boulevard and Highland Avenue. Except as required by conditions of approval, all plans submitted for permits associated with the project shall conform with Exhibit A, Case File no. Z-2005-7, dated 12/14/2005. 2. Any required landscaping and/or underground irrigation that is disturbed during the construction and installation of the proposed sign shall be replaced and repaired with like materials. 3. The sign shall not project into the public right-of-way, or a City encroachment permit will be required. 4. Exterior walls of freestanding signs to a height of not less than 6 feet shall be treated with a graffiti resistant coating subject to approval from the Building and Safety Director. Graffiti shall be removed within 24 hours of its observance. 5. Before this Zone Variance shall become effective, the applicant and the property owner both shall sign and have notarized an Acceptance Form, provided by the Planning Department, acknowledging and accepting all conditions imposed upon the approval of this permit. Failure to return the signed and notarized Acceptance Form within 30 days of its receipt shall automatically terminate the Zone Variance. The applicant shall also submit evidence to the satisfaction of the Planning Director that a Notice of Restriction on Real Property is recorded with the County Recorder. The applicant shall pay necessary recording fees to the County. The Notice of Restriction shall provide information that conditions imposed by approval of the Zone Variance are binding on all present or future interest holders or estate holders of the property. The Notice of Restriction shall be approved as to form by the City Attorney and signed by the Planning Director prior to recordation. 6. This permit shall become null and void if not exercised within one year after adoption of the resolution of approval unless extended according to procedures specified in Section 18.116.190 of the Municipal Code. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this Resolution be transmitted forthwith to the applicant and to the City Council. BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that this Resolution shall become effective and final on the day following the City Council meeting where the Planning Commission resolution is set for review, unless an appeal in writing is filed with the City Clerk prior to 5:00 p.m. on the day of that City Council meeting.

The plans include a new Target store on the south end of the mall, which will be approximately 127,000 square feet in area. This application requests a CUP for the sale of beer and wine for off -site consumption at that Target. The proposed alcohol display is to be located on an aisle approximately 400 feet from the front entrances to the store, as shown on the attached floor plan. Approximately five vertical shelves along the roughly 30-foot long aisle section will be used for display. No refrigerated product will be offered. An attached photo shows the anticipated appearance of the display area, consistent with other Target stores. Sale of alcohol would be prohibited between 12 a.m. and 7 a.m. each day, although the store may close earlier. The applicant held a community meeting on Monday, November 21, 2005 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. to address any potential public concerns. Planning Commission held a hearing on this application on January 23, 2006. The applicant spoke regarding the sale of beer, a condition requiring a locked storage area for alcohol in the rear of the store, and a signage condition: A representative from the ATOD Task Force spoke in support of the project, but recommended chilled alcohol be prohibited and alcohol training be required. The Commission then voted to approve the CUP and removed the condition requiring a locked alcohol storage area; however, they added conditions specifying the sale of malt liquor beverages be prohibited and prohibiting refrigerated coolers for Icohol sales.

CUP-2005-23 WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of National City considered a Conditional Use Permit application for the sale of beer and wine at the Target Store planned for the Plaza Bonita Shopping Center at 3030 Plaza Bonita Road at a duly advertised public hearing held on January 23, 2006, at which time oral and documentary evidence was presented; and, WHEREAS, at said public hearing the Planning Commission considered the staff report contained in Case File No. CUP-2005-23, 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 recited herein is found to be essential for the preservation of public health, safety, and general welfare. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of National City, California, that the testimony and evidence presented to the Planning Commission at the public hearing held on January 23, 2006, support the following findings: 1. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape, since the approximately 127,000 square foot Target store will have ample room available for the incidental sale of beer and wine. 2. That the site has sufficient access to streets and highways that are adequate in width and pavement type to carry the volume and type of traffic generated by the proposed use, since the project site is developed with a regional shopping center and has adequate access via Plaza Bonita Road and Sweetwater Road, both designed to carry a large volume of traffic, and since the proposed sales are expected to result in a negligible increase in traffic to the site. 3. That the proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting properties, since the department store is located in a fully -developed commercial area, and since conditions of approval will limit the types and sizes of product that can be sold and prohibit loitering and drinking on the premises. 4. That the proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience and welfare, since it will allow Target to offer a complete variety of products to its customers, similar to other existing large retailers, which are an established and allowed use in the applicable commercial zone. 5. That public convenience and necessity may be served by a proposed use of the property for the retail sales of alcoholic beverages pursuant to law. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the application for Conditional Use Permit is approved subject to the following conditions: 1. This Conditional Use Permit authorizes the sale of beer and wine for off -site consumption at Target, at 3030 Plaza Bonita Road.

(Applicant: Cingular Wireless) (Case File CUP-2005-12) PREPARED BY DEPARTMENT Mary Jo Wilson Principal Planner (336- 31 ' Planning EXPLANATION The Planning Commission held public hearings on this item on October 17 and December 5, 2005. The City Council set the matter for hearing on January 17, 2006 asking that a representative from the Sweetwater Union High School District be present at the next meeting.

Applicant's Plans (Exhibit A, dated 11 /9/05) 10.Covearge Map Resolution No. A-200 (9/99) Background Report Site Characteristics: The overall school property is 28 acres in size within the Civic Institutional - Open Space Zone (IC - OS). There is no vegetation in the area with the exception of the football field to the east and the baseball fields to the north. Proposed Use: The proposed project is to construct a replacement 80-foot tall light standard with three panel antennas located at the south end of the bleachers adjacent to the football field in the southwest corner of the school property. The existing floodlights would be re -mounted. The applicant is also proposing to install an underground vault for the associated equipment to reduce the potential impact on school facilities. The proposal includes a 6-foot chain link fence around the area of the shelter's access hatch that matches the existing perimeter fence. Access to this area will be via a 3-foot wide gate in the campus perimeter fence. Analysis: This project is an example of a stealth facility (the antennas are flush to the light pole and the associated equipment is vaulted underground), consistent with City policy. The project also allows for future co -location of additional antennas at 65-feet and below on the same pole. The facility is proposed to increase wireless service to 24th Street between National City Boulevard and M Avenue (search ring). Based on the attached coverage map this is an area of limited or weak service. The facility will be unmanned and would require one to two trips per month for maintenance staff and is unlikely to have any impacts on local traffic patterns. Planning Commission Review: The Planning Commission held two hearings on October 17 and December 5, 2005. The Commissioners continued the item from the October 17, 2005 meeting so that the applicant could review alternative locations for the facility so as to minimize potential impacts on school recreational space. The Commission also requested that a school representative be present at the next hearing to discuss the proposal. At the December 5, 2005 hearing, the applicant proposed to re -locate the facility from the lower ball field area to the southern side of the football field bleachers. Additionally, the applicant proposed to place the associated equipment in an underground vault instead of an above ground shelter. At the hearing, the Commission also heard testimony from the Sweetwater Union High School District Utilities Manager in support of the proposal. The Planning Commission voted to conditionally approve the Conditional Use Permit finding that the site is suitable for the proposed facility, that the facility would not have an adverse impact on adjacent or abutting properties, and that the facility would provide enhanced service which is a benefit to the community. RESOLUTION NO. 38-2005 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS FACILITY ON SWEETWATER UNION HIGH SCHOOL PROPERTY AT 2900 HIGHLAND AVENUE APPLICANT: CINGULAR WIRELESS CASE FILE NO. CUP-2005-12 WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of National City considered a Conditional Use Permit application for a wireless communications facility on Sweetwater Union High School property at 2900 Highland Avenue at a duly advertised public hearing held on October 17, 2005 and continued to the meeting of December 5, 2005, at which time oral and documentary evidence was presented; and, WHEREAS, at said public hearings the Planning Commission considered the staff report contained in Case File No. CUP-2005-12 maintained by the City and incorporated herein by reference along with evidence and testimony at said hearings and, WHEREAS, this action is taken pursuant to all applicable procedures required by State law and City law; and, WHEREAS, the action recited herein is found to be essential for the preservation of public health, safety, and general welfare. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of National City, California, that the testimony and evidence presented to the Planning Commission at the public hearing held on October 17 and December 5, 2005, support the following findings: 1. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape, since the small above ground area to be occupied by the facility (121 square feet) will have an insignificant effect on the use of the 28 acre school property, and will not affect existing uses and recreation areas. That the site has sufficient access to streets and highways that are adequate in width and pavement type to carry the volume and type of traffic generated by the proposed use, since the unmanned wireless communications facility, requires only one to two visits each month for routine maintenance, which can easily be accommodated by the adjacent streets. 3. That the proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting properties, since the 80-foot replacement light standard will adequately disguise the three panel antennas, and since the equipment shelter will be vaulted below ground. s �► 4. That the proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience and welfare, since it will improve the performance of the Cingular Wireless wireless communications network, resulting in enhanced service for its customers. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the application for Conditional Use Permit is approved subject to the following conditions: 1. This Conditional Use Permit authorizes a wireless communications facility at Sweetwater Union High School. Except as required by conditions of approval, all plans submitted for permits associated with the project shall conform with Exhibit A, Case File No. CUP-2005-12, dated 11/9/2005. Any additional antennas must substantially conform with the design for installation shown on these plans. 2. The permittee shall not object to co -locating additional facilities of other communication companies and sharing the project site, provided such shared use does not result in substantial technical or quality -of -service impairment for the permitted use. In the event a dispute arises with regard to co -locating with other existing or potential users, the City may require a third party technical study at the expense of either or both the applicant and the complaining user. This condition in no way obligates the City to approve any co -location proposal if it is determined by the City not to be desirable in a specific case. 3. Any antennas, equipment or facilities that are abandoned, decommissioned, or become obsolete shall be removed. 4. All wiring and cables between the underground equipment shelter and antennas, and any associated communications or wiring junction boxes shall be placed within the underground equipment shelter. 5. Plans must comply with the 2001 editions of the California Building Code, the California Mechanical Code, the California Plumbing Code, the California Electrical Code, and California Title 24 energy and handicapped regulations. 6. Television cable companies shall be notified a minimum of 48 hours prior to filling of cable trenches. 7. Exterior walls of poles to a height of not less than 6 feet shall be treated with a graffiti resistant coating subject to approval from the Building and Safety Director. Graffiti shall be removed within 24 hours of its observance. 8. A permit shall be obtained from the Engineering Department for all improvement work within the public right-of-way. 9. Before this Conditional Use Permit shall become effective, the applicant and the property owner both shall sign and have notarized an Acceptance Form, provided by the Planning Department, acknowledging and accepting all conditions imposed upon the approval of this permit. Failure to return the signed and notarized Acceptance Form within 30 days of its receipt shall automatically terminate the Conditional Use Permit. The applicant shall also submit evidence to the satisfaction of the Planning Director that a Notice of Restriction on Real Property is recorded • • with the County Recorder. The applicant shall pay necessary recording fees to the County. The Notice of Restriction shall provide information that conditions imposed by approval of the Conditional Use Permit are binding on all present or future interest holders or estate holders of the property. The Notice of Restriction shall be approved as to form by the City Attorney and signed by the Planning Director prior to recordation. 10. This permit shall become null and void if not exercised within one year after adoption of the resolution of approval unless extended according to procedures specified in Section 18.116.190 of the Municipal Code. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this Resolution be transmitted forthwith to the applicant and to the City Council. BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that this Resolution shall become effective and final on the day following the City Council meeting where the Planning Commission resolution is set for review, unless, an appeal in writing is filed with the City Clerk prior to 5:30 p.m. on the day of that City Council meeting. The City Council may, at that meeting, appeal the decision of the Planning Commission and set the matter for public hearing.

That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape; and 2. That the site has sufficient access to streets and highways that are adequate in width and pavement type to carry the quantity and quality of traffic generated by the proposed use; and 3. That the proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting properties; and 4. That the proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience or welfare. The above findings must be incorporated into each staff report for a Conditional Use Permit, Planned Development Permit or Planned Unit Development Permit presented to the decision making body.

That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape, since the small above ground area to be occupied by the facility (121 square feet) will have an insignificant effect on the use of the 28 acre school property, and will not affect existing uses and recreation areas. 2. That the site has sufficient access to streets and highways that are adequate in width and pavement type to carry the volume and type of traffic generated by the proposed use, since the unmanned wireless communications facility, requires only one to two visits each month for routine maintenance, which can easily be accommodated by the adjacent streets. 3. That the proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting properties, since the 80-foot replacement light standard will adequately disguise the three panel antennas, and since the equipment shelter will be vaulted below ground. 4. That the proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience and welfare, since it will improve the performance of the Cingular Wireless wireless communications network, resulting in enhanced service for its customers. • i RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL 1. This Conditional Use Permit authorizes a wireless communications facility at Sweetwater Union High School. Except as required by conditions of approval, all plans submitted for permits associated with the project shall conform with Exhibit A, Case File No. CUP-2005-12, dated 11/9/2005. Any additional antennas must substantially conform with the design for installation shown on these plans. 2. The permittee shall not object to co -locating additional facilities of other communication companies and sharing the project site, provided such shared use does not result in substantial technical or quality -of -service impairment for the permitted use. In the event a dispute arises with regard to co -locating with other existing or potential users, the City may require a third party technical study at the expense of either or both the applicant and the complaining user. This condition in no way obligates the City to approve any co -location proposal if it is determined by the City not to be desirable in a specific case. 3. Any antennas, equipment or facilities that are abandoned, decommissioned, or become obsolete shall be removed. 4. All wiring and cables between the underground equipment shelter and antennas, and any associated communications or wiring junction boxes shall be placed within the underground. equipment shelter. 5. Plans must comply with the 2001 editions of the California Building Code, the California Mechanical Code, the California Plumbing Code, the California Electrical Code, and California Title 24 energy and handicapped regulations. 6. Television cable companies shall be notified a minimum of 48 hours prior to filling of cable trenches. 7. Exterior walls of poles to a height of not less than 6 feet shall be treated with a graffiti resistant coating subject to approval from the Building and Safety Director. Graffiti shall be removed within 24 hours of its observance. 8. A permit shall be obtained from the Engineering Department for all improvement work within the public right-of-way. 9. Before this Conditional Use Permit shall become effective, the applicant and the property owner both shall sign and have notarized an Acceptance Form, provided by the Planning Department, acknowledging and accepting all conditions imposed upon the approval of this permit. Failure to return the signed and notarized Acceptance Form within 30 days of its receipt shall automatically terminate the Conditional Use Permit. The applicant shall also submit evidence to the satisfaction of the Planning Director that a Notice of Restriction on Real Property is recorded with the County Recorder. The applicant shall pay necessary recording fees to the County. The Notice of Restriction shall provide information that conditions imposed by approval of the Conditional Use Permit are binding on all present or future interest holders or estate holders of the property. The Notice of Restriction shall be approved as to form by the City Attorney and signed by the Planning Director prior to recordation. 10. This permit shall become null and void if not exercised within one year after adoption of the resolution of approval unless extended according to procedures specified in Section 18.116.190 of the Municipal Code.

Food will tastefully reflect the Mexican flavor while entertainment will showcase the traditional heritage of local mariachi and ballet folklorico ballet dancers on 2 stages. We will provide a children's center with carnival style booths/games.

Alcohol and tobacco -free event banners will be placed at the entrance as well as on the stage. Moreover, the master of ceremonies will announce the alcohol and smoke -free policies throughout the day. Volunteers will monitor the event to ensure no smoking and drinking occurs. A creative solution we came up with is to conduct a gear exchange [pack of cigarettes = an event T-shirt] for those found smoking. This approach is designed to maintain healthy relations with community members and avoid punitive enforcement that could discourage community participation. The event theme, "Celebrating with Dignity" will be on banners, T-shirts, and other promotional materials.

The 82-acre area off the coast of the Sweetwater Channel is the only long-term free anchorage area available on the West Coast. Each year, the Harbor Police department spends approximately $250,000 to remove abandoned or derelict vessels from the anchorage. The vessels pose serious navigational hazards and environmental threats to the Bay. In addition, there has been an upswing in crime in the area over the past few years. A public meeting attended by A-8 boaters and other interested citizens was held in Coronado on January 24. At that meeting, the public expressed their concerns for the anchorage and provided suggestions to improve conditions. A second meeting will be held Wednesday, February 1 at 6:00 p.m. at the Chula Vista Yacht Club, 650 Marina Parkway, Chula Vista. Due to increased public interest on the A-8 subject, the Port has added a third meeting to give the boating community a chance to offer input. This meeting will be held Wednesday, February 22 at 6:00 p.m. at the Port of San Diego's General Services building, 1400 Tidelands Avenue in National City. Port staff will compile all suggestions received from the three public meetings into a report which will be presented to the public at an additional meeting, which will be held sometime in March. From this report, staff will make recommendations for the A-8 anchorage and submit these to the Board of Port Commissioners at a later date for requested action.

Eiser, III • City Attorney (619) 336.4220 Fax: (619) 336-4327 TDD: (619) 336-1615 TO: Mayor and City Council DATE: February 21, 2006 FROM: Senior Assistant City Attorney VIA: City Attorney SUBJECT: Ordinances Regulating Lobbyists, Campaign Expenditures and Campaign Contributions BACKGROUND On February 7, 2006, the City Council asked this Office to return with a report on possible ordinances requiring lobbyists to register and limitations on campaign expenditures. This direction was given to us in light of the impending election cycle, in effort to continue providing greater transparency in local government, and to provide the elected body and the general public awareness and information about efforts to influence decisions. With the above in mind, we have reviewed possible options and have drafted two proposed ordinances for your review and direction. The first draft ordinance attached requires lobbyists to register. The second attached draft ordinance limits campaign contributions. An ordinance limiting campaign expenditures could be drafted, however, any such limitation would be voluntary, as discussed below. The ordinances discussed herein are based on the California Political Reform Act of 1974, as well as other similar municipal ordinances. Staff now seeks your direction based on the discussion below. THE PROPOSED ORDINANCES A. Lobbyist Registration Ordinance The proposed ordinance would add Chapter 2.74 to the Municipal Code to regulate lobbyists by 1) requiring lobbyists to register with the City; 2) file quarterly disclosure reports; 3) notify City Officials of their status when appearing before them; and, 4) face penalties for violating the ordinances. Generally, a lobbyist is defined as an individual who is paid to lobby City Officials on matters pending before the City Council. In addition, an individual who falls within the definition of a lobbyist and is compensated, reimbursed, or expends at least $125 per calendar quarter will be required to register with the City Clerk as a lobbyist. The draft ordinance is attached hereto as Attachment 1. 9 Recycled Paper There are exemptions to this requirement. For example,. public officials working in his or her official capacity are exempt; news media engaged in gathering, publishing or broadcasting news items, editorials, or commentary are exempt; individuals whose communications regarding a pending item are limited to appearing or submitting testimony at public meetings are exempt; volunteers are exempt; and persons submitting a bid or response to a request for proposals or qualifications, or negotiating the terms of an agreement already authorized by the City Council are exempt. In addition to the initial registration, annual renewal, and quarterly disclosure reports, lobbyists will pay a registration fee for themselves and a client fee for each client they represent. The amounts of the fees will be part of the City's fee schedule. The contents of the registration form and quarterly disclosure form include information designed to provide disclosure of the lobbyist's identity, the company with whom he or she is employed, the client(s) who have retained the lobbyist's services, and the specific matters for which the lobbyist has been retained. In addition, the quarterly disclosure report seeks out information as to the compensation received during the quarter, activity expenses paid or incurred, the total number of contacts with City Officials made by the lobbyists, and campaign contributions which total $100 or more. The lobbyist registration violations are reportable to the City Clerk, and can be referred to the City Attorney's office for enforcement as either an administrative or criminal matter. The City of San Diego has adopted a lobbyist registration ordinance. In addition, the City of Oceanside has such an ordinance under consideration. B. Campaign Expenditure Limitations A public entity can adopt an ordinance limiting campaign expenditures by a candidate. Such a limitation, however, cannot be mandatory. Any campaign expenditure limitation must be voluntary. The landmark Supreme Court case on this issue is Buckley v. Valeo, 424 U.S. 1 (1976). Buckley held, in part, that limiting campaign expenditures by a candidate was unconstitutional under the First Amendment, but conditioning acceptance of public funds on an agreement to limit campaign expenditures was not. The distinction between these two limitations is that the former is mandatory, while the latter is voluntary. Thus, campaign expenditures can be limited when part of a matching public funds program. Such a program, however, is unavailable in California. The California Government Code precludes the use of public funds in campaigns. Government Code section 853002. The City can, however, adopt a voluntary expenditure limit ordinance. The State has a voluntary expenditure ordinance applicable to statewide elected office. Additionally, the City of La Mesa adopted a voluntary expenditure limitation applicable to its elected offices. Generally, such an ordinance states that if the candidate agrees to the voluntary limitations, then the candidate can represent in the ballot statement and during the campaign that he or she adhered to the voluntary limits. A 2 Section 85300 specifically states: "No public officer shall expend and no candidate shall accept any public moneys for the purpose of seeking elective office." misrepresentation would be punishable. The City of La Mesa's ordinance is attached for your review3. A voluntary expenditure ordinance can establish a set monetary cap or can tie the expenditure limit to the number of residents within the city. For example, the state voluntary expenditure limits set dollar amounts based on the specific elected office sought, whereas the La Mesa ordinance sets the expenditure limits at one dollar ($1.00) per resident. A candidate would decide prior to accepting any contributions whether he or she will adhere to the voluntary expenditure limits. Such decision would be filed with the City Clerk. C. Campaign Contribution Limitations The proposed ordinance would add Chapter 2.76 to the Municipal Code4. This ordinance was drafted to provide an alternative mechanism for the Council to counter the potential for disproportionate or controlling influences in election campaigns, as campaign expenditures could not have mandatory limits. This chapter would limit campaign contributions to $250 per individual and would bar contributions by organizations. The contribution limit would be indexed and adjusted every mayoral election year. Candidates would not be limited in how much they could contribute to their own campaigns. This exception for candidates is based on First Amendment principles. Violations of this Chapter would be subject to misdemeanor prosecution, and any amounts received in violation of the limit would be forfeited to the general fund of the City. Other local cities have adopted campaign contribution limitations. Those cities are: Del Mar, Encinitas, Escondido, Lemon Grove, Poway, San Diego, and Vista. RECOMMENDATION If the City Council wishes to proceed with any or all of the ordinances discussed above, they can be submitted for introduction at the next Council meeting s• they can be, epared fo • doption. 41)P ._A•A__.,,,,.e.4.01,.....,..,..1. i 4i ,i,NA1 i .1 , 0, ACITUA `i VA Senior Asant City Attorney CGS/gmo Please see Attachment 2.

Alpha Project for the Homeless would like to thank the City of National City for the opportunity to collaborate with the City to provide meaningful solutions to its homeless dilemma. Of course, we could provide a more thorough outreach and community revitalization if we had more than one day a week to provide said services.
