Coolidge Avenue serves as a gateway corridor connecting Kimball Elementary School at its southern terminus on E. 18th Street to feeder neighborhoods to the north. Coolidge Avenue runs north -south through the Old Town Neighborhood in the City of National City. Coolidge Avenue is paralleled by Interstate-5 (approximately 3 blocks to the west) and National City Boulevard (approximately 3 blocks to the east), the City's primary Downtown arterial. This neighborhood contains a rnix of residential and industrial land uses (auto body/paint shops, mechanics, manufacturing operations, etc.) which, coupled with the proximity to the freeway, have an adverse impact on air quality. The City of National City has developed a draft specific plan known as the Westside Specific Plan, which encompasses the greater Old Town Neighborhood of National City. One of the goals of the plan is to relocate industrial facilities outside of the residential areas, as part of a rezoning amendment, to improve air quality for residents. The Specific Plan also recommends streetscaping enhancements along key corridors such as Coolidge Avenue to improve "walkability" and mitigate air pollution. Excerpts from the Draft Westside Specific Plan are included in Exhibit M. The Specific Plan is also available on the City's website: http://www.ci.national-city.ca.us/. The traffic calming portion of the EEMP project represents the original transportation project to mitigate speeding and cut -through traffic. Congestion on nearby Interstate-5 has contributed to increased cut -through traffic on local streets, including Coolidge Avenue. The 52-foot wide street will be restriped with diagonal parking on the west side and parallel parking on the eastside, including new centerline striping along the corridor and installation of corner bulb -outs at the intersection of Coolidge Avenue and l;. 16t Street (see Exhibit H). These improvements will narrow the roadway width to reduce travel speeds and discourage drivers from using this corridor as a cut -through route, thereby reducing traffic volumes and vehicle emissions. Additional measures for improving air quality include enhanced streetscaping with widened sidewalks, upgrades to pedestrian curb ramps (to the latest A.l )A standards), landscaped terraces, planting of oxygen -producing trees, and installation of an irrigation system. All work will occur within the existing 80-foot public right-of-way. These improvements will make the community more "walkable", pedestrian friendly and aesthetically pleasing, leading to a decrease in automobile use and a reduction in vehicle emissions. The existing Coolidge Avenue corridor contains a variety of tree species (as detailed in Exhibit Ii) with no uniformity to spacing or size. Most of the trees are in poor condition due to lack of regular horticulture maintenance and absence of a central irrigation system. The project will replace all of the deficient trees with new tree plantings that will have a better uptake of carbon dioxide, and install an irrigation system. The project will result in a net gain of 22 trees along the 3-block study area corridor. The City will fund $68,250 towards the EEMP project to cover all costs associated with the roadway transportation improvements (i.e. striping enhancements, bulb -outs, etc.). The City is requesting $350,000 from the EEM Program to cover the costs for the streetscaping enhancements. This project will serve as the starting point for redeveloping the entire Westside Specific Plan area to provide a more "walkable", pedestrian friendly and aesthetically pleasing neighborhood, which will result in less reliance on automobile use, reduction in neighborhood cut -through traffic, and improved air quality and quality of life. The project is moving forward as a "categorical exemption" in regards to environmental clearance (see Exhibit M for "Notice of Exemption"), since the entire project occurs within the existing public right-of-way. Constniction is scheduled to start in July 2008 and continue for a period of approximately 4 months. The (City recently completed a wetlands habitat restoration project directly behind Kimball Elementary School called Paradise Creek Park (see Exhibit M), an example of the City's desire to improve air quality in the Old Town Neighborhood. To further emphasize; the City's commitment to improving health and safety, the City applied for and received a $432,000 state/federal grant (plus $50,000. City matching funds) for Phase i of its Safe Routes to School Program, and has applied for an additional $900,000 grant (plus S 100,000 City matching Muds) for Phase II of its Safe Routes to School Program. These funds will be used to create sale walking corridors for children between arca schools (such as Kimball Elementary) and feeder neighborhoods to increase walking and improve health and safety. Improvements from these grant programs will reduce the number of parents driving their children to school and thereby, improve air quality through reductions in vehicle emissions. The City will seek additional funding sources such as CDBG, CMAQ, SANDAG Smart Growth Incentive Program, and Safe Routes to School Program (previously discussed) to incorporate these types of improvements throughout the Specific Plan area. Priority will he given towards extending the Coolidge Avenue enhancements from the project limits at E. 15' Street north to Civic Center Drive, which provides a direct connection to City Ilall and Kimball Park on National City Boulevard. The City has a successful history of completing streetscape enhancement grant projects on time and within scope as indicated by improvements along Civic Center Drive from Interstate-5 to National City Boulevard and along National City Boulevard from E. 2"a Street to E. 12th Street, including the creation of a central public promenade known as Morgan Square (see photos in Exhibit M). 7 AGENCY ELIGIBILITY Authorizing Resolution City Council will be authorizing the resolution for the Coolidge Avenue Traffic (:alining and Streetscape Enhancement Project at its Council meeting on December 18, 2007. A signed copy of the resolution will he submitted to the EEMP project coordinator shortly after. Related Prior Experience The City of National City, incorporated in 1887, is the second oldest city in San Diego County. The City has received numerous grant funds from sources such as TRANSNET, CMAQ, Gas Tax, Office of Traffic Safety, Safe Routes to School, Homeland Security, etc. and has a successful record of completing grant project on -time and within scope. Recent examples include: 1) Paradise Creek Park -- $1.5 million wetland habitat restoration project with public amphitheater, located behind Kimball Elementary School 2) Morgan Square Pedestrian Promenade and National Boulevard Streetscapc Project $4.4 million for sidewalk and pedestrian facility upgrades, landscaping (including trees), irrigation system, and development of the public square 3) Safe Routes to School (SR2S) Program — $432,000 (plus $50,000 in City matching hinds) to create safe walking corridors between area schools and feeder neighborhoods through traffic calming, pedestrian facility upgrades, public outreach and enforcement (on going project). The City has applied fora second SR2S Program grant in the amount of $900,000 (plus $100,000 in City matching funds). 8 RELATED TRANSPORTATION PROJECT The original transpo tation project is to mitigate speeding and cut -through traffic along a 3- block section of Coolidge Avenue between E. 15th Street and E. l8th Street. Coolidge Avenue serves as a gateway corridor connecting, Kimball Elementary School at its southern terminus on E. 18`h Street to feeder neighborhoods to the north.

Calming and Streetscape. Enhancement Project Project Description The project involves traffic calming and streetscape enhancements along a 3-block section of Coolidge Avenue between E. 15th Street and E. 18th Street. Coolidge Avenue runs north -south through the Old Town Neighborhood in the City of National City. Coolidge Avenue is paralleled by 1-5 to the west and National City Boulevard to the east. This neighborhood contains a mix of residential and industrial land uses (auto body/paint shops, mechanics, manufacturing operations, etc.) which, coupled with the proximity to the freeway, have an adverse impact on air quality. The traffic calming portion of the project represents the original transportation project to mitigate speeding and cut -through traffic. Congestion on nearby Interstate-5 has contributed to increased cut -through traffic on local streets, including Coolidge Avenue. The streetscape portion of the project will further mitigate traffic impacts by enhancing pedestrian facilities (upgrading pedestrian curb ramps, replacing and widening sidewalks) and planting trees to create a more "walkable" environment, further reducing traffic volumes and emissions. Coolidge Avenue serves as a gateway corridor connecting Kimball Elementary School at its southern terminus on E. 18th Street to feeder neighborhoods to the north. The project is moving forward as a "categorical exemption" in regards to environmental clearance, since the entire project occurs within the existing public right-of-way. Construction is scheduled to start in July 2008. 1. Does any part of the proposed EEMP provide the same environmental mitigation or enhancements required of the transportation project? No, the transportation project mitigates traffic impacts through traffic calming located within the roadway. 1'he EEMP involves streetscaping enhancements, which will occur Recycled Paper outside the roadway (but within the public right-of-way), to further mitigate traffic and air quality impacts by increasing "walkability" through pedestrian improvements and planting oxygen -producing trees. 2. Is the proposed EEMP compatible with the transportation facility, or does it interfere with the transportation facility operation or safety? The City has developed a draft specific plan known as the Westside Specific Plan, which proposes traffic calming and streetscape enhancements for the Coolidge Avenue corridor. These measures are intended to increase "walkability" and reduce traffic speeds and volumes along the corridor, thereby improving air quality. The EEMP is consistent with the City's Draft Specific Plan and will not interfere with the transportation facility operation or safety. 3. Does the proposed EEMP limit or interfere with planned or anticipated future improvements to the transportation facility? No, the EEMP is consistent with the City's Draft Specific Plan for this area See response to Question 2 for further explanation. • 4. Describe any concerns about the proposed EEMP. No concerns noted as the entire project occurs within the existing public right-of-way, is consistent with the City's Draft Specific Plan for this area, and conforms to the latest design standards. Mat yam 13 aki, City Engineer City of N• tonal City 11-2-97 0- _ // GENERAL. ('RITERIA Increased Mitigation and Enhancement The original transportation project is to mitigate speeding and cut -through traffic along a 3- block section of Coolidge Avenue between E. 15th Street and E. 18th Street through traffic calming. Congestion on nearby Interstate-5 has contributed to increased cut -through traffic on local streets, including Coolidge Avenue. The EEMP project will further mitigate air quality impacts through enhanced streetscaping with widened sidewalks, upgrades to pedestrian curb ramps (to the latest Al )A standards), landscaped terraces, planting of oxygen - producing trees, and installation of an irrigation system. These improvements will make the community more "walkable", pedestrian friendly and aesthetically pleasing, leading to a decrease in automobile use and a reduction in vehicle emissions. The EEMP project is consistent with the goals and recommended improvements in the City's Draft Westside Specific Plan, which includes streetscape enhancements for Coolidge Avenue (see Exhibit M). Two of the key guiding principals of the Specific Plan include: 1) "improve environmental health conditions for area residents" and 2) "Enhance pedestrian safety and promote the "walkability" of the community". Both of these objectives will be met as part of the EEMP project, which will serve as the starting point for redeveloping the entire Westside Specific Plan area. Statewide Project Goals and Local Cash Contributions The Coolidge Avenue Traffic Calming and Streetscape Enhancement Project is consistent with the goals and recommended improvements in the City's Draft Westside Specifc.Plan, as sunuuarized in the previous "Increased Mitigation and Enhancement" subsection of this application. In addition, this EEMP project demonstrates "Smart Growth" Planning as supported by SAN!)AG through its Pilot Smart Growth Incentive Program (see Exhibit M for a brief discussion of the program and approved projects). The City will fund $68,250 towards the EEMP project to cover all costs associated with the roadway transportation improvements (i.c. striping enhancements, bulb -outs, etc.). The City is requesting $350,000 from the FIN Program to cover the costs for the streetscaping enhancements. Exhibit B includes the detailed Engineering estimate for this EEMP project. The City will continue to seek additional funding sources such as CDBG, CMAQ, SANDAG Smart Growth Incentive Program, and Safe Routes to School Program to incorporate these types of improvements throughout the Westside Specific Plan area. For example, the City recently applied for a $900,000 grant (plus $ 100,000 City matching funds) for Phase II of its Safe Routes to School Program. These funds will he used to create safe walking corridors for children between arca schools (such as Kimball Elementary) and feeder neighborhoods to increase walking and improve health and safety. Improvements from these grant programs will reduce the number of parents driving their children to school and thereby, improve air quality through reductions in vehicle emissions. The City has a successful history of completing state/federal funded grant projects on time and within scope (sce the "Environmental Project Sununary" section of this application for further discussion). 12 Project Readiness Are project designs completed? Conceptual design plans are complete (see Exhibit H). Upon award of the grant, staff will begin the formal PS&.h; process to create a final plan set to include all street improvements, streetscape enhancements, and design of the irrigation system. We estimate this process to take approximately 3 to 4 months. Have funds been specifically appropriated for the related transportation facility? Yes, all transportation improvements for the project have funds in place through the City's "Traffic Systems Improvements" Capital Improvement Project (CIP) hind. Based on the detailed Engineering estimate (see Exhibit B) the transportation facility project costs are estimated at $68,250, which will be covered in full by the "Traffic Systems .Improvements" CIP fund. Are matching funds readily available? Yes, as previously stated, $68,250 will be provided by the City for the project's transportation facility costs. Will the proposed mitigation project require any permits or lengthy environmental clearance? No, the project is moving forward as a "categorical exemption" in regards to environmental clearance (see Exhibit M for "Notice of Exemption"), since the entire project occurs within the existing public right-of-way. Is the project consistent with State, regional, and local plans? Yes, the EEMP project is consistent with the goals and reconunended improvements in the City's Draft Westside Specific Ilan, which includes streetscape enhancements for Coolidge Avenue (see Exhibit M). Two of the key guiding principals of the Specific Plan include: 1) "Improve environmental health conditions for area residents" and 2) "Enhance pedestrian safety and promote the "walkability" of the community". Both of these objectives will be met as part of the EEMP project, which will serve as the starting point for redeveloping the entire Westside Specific Plan area. In addition, this EEMP project demonstrates "Smart Growth" Planning as supported by SANDAG through its Pilot Smart Growth Incentive Program (sec Exhibit M for a brief discussion of the program and approved projects). 13 PROJECT CATEGORY CRITERIA Suitability and Sustainability Will trees and other plants be environmentally tolerant to drought, smog, soil compaction, frost, wind, etc.? As part of the EEMP project, staff hired a certified, registered landscape architect to perform a thorough evaluation of existing tree species, soil type and compaction, and horticulture maintenance, as well as provide recommendations for incorporation of new tree species. A summary of t-idings and recommendations for trees along the Coolidge Avenue corridor is included in Exhibit K. The following species of trees are proposed for the project at an average spacing of20 feet on center: 1) I Long Kong Orchid Tree — 20 feet height and spread, 2) Gold Medallion Tree 20 to 25 feet height and spread, and 3) Willow Pittosporum — 20 feet height and spread. These species were deemed most suitahle based on the physical constraints of narrower parkways and relatively low overhead utility lines. These species were deemed most sustainable as they are common do the region and have a history of adapting well to arid climates. However, a water -efficient irrigation system is planned to improve sustainability for the newly planted trees, prevent overly compacted soil, and to enhance the trees ability to withstand the long-term effects of the region's arid climate. Will the project be designed in such a manner as to provide for species diversity to reduce the effects of insects and diseases? For aesthetic reasons, one variety of tree may he planted along a certain street provided that other varieties are planted on another nearby street, thus providing an adequate mix. Ycs, two options are proposed for the project to maintain species diversity. Option A is to remove all deficient trees and replenish the corridor with a combination of the following species: Hong Kong Orchid, Gold Medallion, and Willow Pittosponnn. This option would result in a net gain of 22 trees. Option B is to save existing trees that are in fair condition (1 Fern Pine, 1 1.aurel Fig, 1 Silver Dollar Gum, and 4 Carrotwood) and replenish the remainder of the corridor with one of the three species listed above. This option would result in a net gain of 15 trees. Will the trees and other plant species selected be ecologically and physically appropriate for the function to be performed in the planting space available, and will the initial size selected for the planting area have a good chance for survival and growth on the project site? Ycs. Given the narrower parkways the new tree species will he planted in 24" boxes at an average spacing of 20 feet, with appropriate lateral offsets from edge of sidewalk/back of curb, driveways and other curb cuts. The three species recommended (see previous discussion) arc estimated to reach a 20- to 25400t height and spread as to minimize conflicts with the relatively low overhead utility lines. The addition of a water -efficient irrigation system will enhance the ability of the newly planted trees to survive and flourish to maturity. 14 /y What are the environmental benefits of the species selected? The key environmental benefits of the three species selected (Ilong Kong Orchid, Gold Medallion, and Willow Pittosporum) are their sustainability in arid climates, their ability to replenish oxygen to the atmosphere through the uptake of carbon dioxide, and their ability for vigorous leaf growth which will increase the amount of air pollutant particle capture. Ilave adequate provisions been made for plant establishment and long-term maintenance? What provisions have been made for plantings that fail? Yes, as part of the project, our landscape architect consultant with meet with our Public Works Department's Street Tree Maintenance Division to discuss proper horticulture maintenance activities to improve sustainability. In addition, a water -efficient irrigation system will be installed to enhance growth and sustainability. Sub -surface emitter tubing is proposed for areas where turf is not planted, and an automatic controller will provide precise timing for application of irrigation water to parkway planting areas. Plantings that fail will be removed and replaced. City Engineering and Public Works will coordinate to establish tree maintenance costs for the project, which will be incorporated into the annual budget. Will the project use recycled or reclaimed water? A water -efficient irrigation system will be installed as part of the project. Staff will investigate the ability to use recycled or reclaimed water as part of the design review of the irrigation system. Cost Effectiveness How many trees will be planted in how much space? Approximately 56 new trees will be planted on both sides of Coolidge Avenue over a distance of 3-blocks (approximately 250 feet per block between intersections). Given the narrower parkways the new tree species will he planted in 24" boxes at an average spacing of 20 feet, with appropriate lateral offsets from edge of sidewalk/back of curb, driveways and other curb cuts. The three species recommended (see previous discussion) are estimated to reach a 20- to 25-foot height and spread as to minimize conflicts with the relatively low overhead utility lines. What species of trees and plants will be used? The following species of trees are proposed for the project: 1) Bauhinia Blakeana / Hong Kong Orchid Tree, 2) Cassia Leptoplzylla / Gold Medallion Tree, and 3) Pittosporum Phillyraeoides / Willow Pittosporum. What will be the size and cost for each of the trees and plants proposed? The size of each tree at maturity is as follows: 1) Hong Kong Orchid Tree — 20 feet height and spread, 2) Gold Medallion Tree 20 to 25 feet height and spread, and 3) Willow Pittosporum -- 20 feet height and spread. The tree species will be planted in 24" boxes at an average spacing of 20 feet. Costs arc estimated at $400 per tree. 15 What type of irrigation system will be installed? A water -efficient irrigation system will be installed with proposed sub -surface emitter tubing for areas where turf is not planted, and an automatic controller to provide precise timing for application of irrigation water to parkway planting areas. Staff will investigate the ability to use recycled or reclaimed water as part of the design review of the irrigation system. What is the water source and cost? The estimated cost for installation of the irrigation system is $8 per square foot. Engineering staff will coordinate with City Public Works, the City's Fire Department, and the Sweetwater Authority (regional water resources agency) to identify the most appropriate water source for the project and monthly costs. Staff will investigate the use of recycled or reclaimed water as part of the design review of the irrigation system. The City provides its own tree maintenance services through the Public Works Department's Street Tree Maintenance Division, which saves costs_ Water costs will be incorporated into the City's annual budget. What will be the establishment cost per tree, considering species and installation over the first five years following planting? Tree species will be planted in 24" boxes at an average spacing of 20 feet. Costs are estimated at $400 per tree. Maintenance costs for each tree will be estimated during the PS&E process through coordination with City Public Works, to he included in the annual budget. The City provides its own tree maintenance services through the Public Works Department's Street Tree Maintenance Division, which saves costs. Other Benefits and Community Participation The Coolidge Avenue Traffic Calming and Streetscape Enhancement Project has received Overwhelming support from the community. With the City's support, the Old Town Neighborhood Council launched an eflbrt to improve pedestrian safety and walkability through partnerships with non-profit organizations like WalkSanDiego (www.walksandicgo.org). In September 2005, WalkSanDiego prepared a comprehensive study titled "Enhancing Walkability in National City's Old Town Neighborhood". Based on community input and site investigations (community "walk audits") valuable recommendations were provided to improve safety and walkability, including traffic calming and streetscape enhancements, consistent with the Coolidge Avenue EEMP project. (sec Exhibit M for excerpts front the WalkSanl:)iego "Walkability" Study). In an effort to further address nciglrborhood concerns regarding health, safety, livability, and quality of life, the City began a major planning effort for the greater Old Town Neighborhood which has resulted in the creation of a Draft Westside Specific Plan. Various community workshops were held to gather input from the community. The plan has several visions such as: 1) "improve environunental health conditions for area residents" and 2) "Enhance pedestrian safety and promote the "walkability" of the community". Both of these objectives will be met as part of the Coolidge Avenue EEMP project, which will serve as the starting point for redeveloping the entire Westside Specific Plan area. Excerpts from the Draft 16 /6 Westside Specific Plan are included in Exhibit M. The Specific Plan is also available on the City's website: http:i/www.ci.national-city.ca.us/. If the project is outside the right-of-way of the related transportation project, will the trees and other plants be planted in an area that provides reasonable public access or recreational opportunities? The entire project is contained within the existing public right-of-way. Will the project provide for enhanced wildlife habitat? Yes, as trees grow towards full maturity, the opportunity. for birds, squirrels and other small animals to gather in the trees will be greatly enhanced as compared to existing conditions. Furthermore, the City recently completed a wetlands habitat restoration project directly behind Kimball Elementary School, approximately 100 yards from the EEMP project site, called Paradise Creek Park (see Exhibit M). This wetlands restoration will attract many different animal species to the area, which will be further enhanced through the planting of new trees for the Coolidge Avenue EEMP project. If the project is outside of the related transportation facility right-of-way, will the project maximize citizen involvement in project planning and implementation and provide stewardship opportunities for long -tern maintenance of the trees? The entire project is contained within the existing public right-of-way. 17 /7 EXHIBIT' A — STATEMENT OF PROJECT CONSISTENCY The original transportation project is to mitigate speeding and cut -through traffic along a 3-block section of Coolidge Avenue between 1:. l5th Street and E. 18th Street through traffic calming. Congestion on nearby Interstate-5 has contributed to increased cut - through traffic on local streets, including Coolidge Avenue. The proposed EEMP project will further mitigate air quality impacts through enhanced streetscaping with widened sidewalks, upgrades to pedestrian curb ramps (to the latest ADA standards), landscaped terraces, planting of oxygen -producing trees, and installation of an irrigation system. These improvements will make the community more "walkable", pedestrian friendly and aesthetically pleasing, leading to a decrease in automobile use and a reduction in vehicle emissions. The Coolidge Avenue Traffic Calming and Streetscape Enhancement Project EEMP project is consistent with the goals and recommended improvements in the City's Draft Westside Specific flan, which includes strectscape enhancements for Coolidge Avenue (see Exhibit M).

Hoyt, ASL-- l.)ate: November 28, 2007 Subject: Coolidge Avenue Enhancement Project Existing Street Tree Evaluation and Parkway Planting Recommendations I visited the site on November 20, 2007 and again on November 28, 2007 to perform a visual assessment of the condition of the existing street trees in the parkways adjacent to Coolidge Avenue, between Fifteenth Street and Eighteenth Street. This memorandum outlines the results of the visual assessment and provides recommendations for landscape enhancement of the Coolidge Avenue parkways. A. CONDITION OF EXISTING STREET TREES The condition of the existing street trees is generally poor, with a few trees in fair condition. Normal horticultural maintenance (fertilizing, watering, mulching, weeding, etc.) appears to be minimal in the parkways. There is no visual evidence of parkway irrigation systems, except adjacent to one or two commercial properties with lawn or groundcover in the parkway. Many of the trees have been improperly pruned, with evidence of excessive crown reduction and topping. Several of street trees on the west side of Coolidge Avenue appear to have been damaged by vehicles parked in the adjacent angled parking stalls. Drainage may be an issue in the parkways, as the soil appears compacted in many locations. As noted above, many of the trees in the parkway have been topped in the past. This type of excessive pruning is considered an unacceptable arboricultural practice by the tree care industry. Corrective pruning of previously topped trees is generally not successful. There are relatively low overhead utility lines in the parkways, except for the east side of Coolidge Avenue between Sixteenth and Seventeenth Streets. Therefore, topping of some of the trees was most likely performed by contractors for the local utility companies. 14 Coolidge Avenue Enhancement Project November 28, 2007 Page 2 In summary, the existing trees in the parkway are in mostly poor condition, with a few in fair condition. The condition of the trees is likely due to lack of irrigation and little or no regular tree maintenance in the past. Trees were planted under overhead utility lines that were unsuitable for such conditions. Because many of the trees grew too high, they had to be topped by utility companies to provide proper clearance between wires and vegetation. B. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PARKWAY LANDSCAPE ENHANCEMENT Many factors must be considered in public parkway and streetscapc design. A few factors are key to all successful projects, which are outlined below. • a unifying design theme for the street • selection of proper street tree species • a water -efficient irrigation system • consideration of post -construction maintenance requirements In the sarnc manner, the above factors can be applied to the Coolidge Avenue Enhancement Project. Several design recommendations follow that will improve the likelihood of a successful project. Design Theme and Street Tree Selection Notable streetscape projects incorporate a few distinctive design elements to unify the visual environment. Elements such as trees, street furnishings, and paving provide visual unity and a consistent design theme. I recommend the planting of new street trees in the Coolidge Avenue parkways as the primary element. to provide the design theme: 1. Street Trees —Option A: Because of the relatively poor condition of the existing trees, and the varied and numerous tree species planted over time, the first recommendation is to remove all the existing parkway trees. The proposed replacement street trees are species more suitable to the narrow parkways and overhead utility lines. Spacing of the new trees should be an average of 20 feet on center, although obstructions in the parkway will require the spacing to vary somewhat. The trees may be selected from the following recommended species: • Bauhinia blakeana/liong Kong Orchid Tree (20 feet height and spread) • Cassia leptophylla/Gold Medallion Tree (20-25 feet height and spread) • Pittosporum phillyraeoides/Willow Pittosporum (20 feet height and spread) 1 recommend a total quantity of 56 new trees t.o be planted in the parkway with this option. 39 Coolidge Avenue Enhancement Project November 28, 2007 Page 3 2. Street Trees —Option B: If the City does not wish to remove all of the street trees, then the existing trees in fair condition could be saved and pruned to improve their form and structure. A selection of one of the tree species from "Option A" above may be planted under the utility lines. The tree species (and quantities) in fair condition are: • Podocarpus gracilior/ Fern Pine (1) • Ficus sp./Indian Laurel Fig (1) • Eucalyptus polyanthemos/ Silver Dollar Gum (1) • Cupaniopsis anacardioides/Carrotwood (4) A total of 49 new parkway trees would be planted with this option. Parkway Irrigation and Maintenance A well -designed, water efficient irrigation system is essential to the establishment of newly planted trees, shrubs, and groundcover. Irrigation is also necessary for established landscapes throughout the year due to our arid climate. A low volume irrigation system with sub -surface emitter tubing is recommended for areas where turf is not planted. An automatic controller will provide precise timing for application of irrigation water to parkway planting areas. Summary of Recommendations and Benefits 1. Street 'frees ---Option A: Remove and replace existing trees with the following: • Bauhinia blakeana/ Hong Kong Orchid Tree (20 feet high) • Cassia leptophylla/Gold Medallion Tree (20-25 feet high) • Pittosporumphiilyraeoides/Willow Pittosporum (20 feet high) 2. Street Trees —Option B: Save existing street trees in fair condition, and prune them to correct for proper form and structure. Plant new parkway trees in restricted zones below utility lines from the species listed in Option A above. 3. Install an automatic irrigation system in all parkway planting areas. Street trees provide an important function in urban areas by enhancing the visual environment. As an added benefit, trees provide oxygen replenishment of the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis. By planting young, vigorous trees in the existing parkways, this environmental benefit should increase over time as the trees grow. Leaves of healthy trees also perform the important function of trapping particulate pollutants in the air. EXIIIBIT I, = DESCRIPTION OF TREE PLANTINGS Approximately 56 new trees will he planted on both sides of Coolidge Avenue over a distance of 3-blocks (approximately 250 feet per block between intersections).

Early residential development — mostly homes on small lots — soon became occupied by the families of waterfront and railroad workers. 1'he district was complete with local markets and churches, and residents enjoyed proximity to downtown National City and the rail depot, providing access and commerce links to the region. Many of these original 'neighborhood qualities still exist and contribute to neighborhood life. Through the years, the Westside has experienced an incursion of - small-scale industrial businesses and portions of the original neighborhood are aging. Changing economic conditions and the mix of residential and industrial uses have hindered positive change and revitalization. Nevertheless, the community has a powerful vision for the future of the Westside. This Specific Plan establishes the "road map" for accomplishing this vision and provides a strategy for the land use, development, mobility, and environmental values that make the Westside unique. VISION FOR THE WESTSIDE A series of well -attended community workshops served as the forum for exploring issues and building consensus on a planning framework for the Westside. During this process, a central vision emerged: Reestablish the Westside us a safe, healthy, and vibrant neighborhood where people engage in community life. The community's priorities are set forth in four guiding principles that were confirmed in the workshop pnx•ess: • Respect and encourage single-family homes and small residential development. • Improve environmental health conditions for residents in the area. • Limit uses adjacent to Paradise Creek to restoration and passive recreation and open space. WFSTSIOF SPECIFIC P1 AN ES-i Draft 8/14/07 yv • Enhance pedestrian safety and promote the walkability of the community. The vision and guiding principles together serve as the framework for the development plan established in this Specific Plan. Figure FS-1 provides the land use and zoning plan that translates the vision into a regulatory framework applicable to all private and public projects within the Specific Plan Area. Achieving this vision involves returning residential -turned - industrial properties to homes. Markets, schools, churches, and open spaces, including a new community center and mercado with multiple tenants, will enrich the neighborhood. Paradise Creek, through habitat restoration, the educational park, and compatible land uses on adjacent properties, will become an important source of neighborhood pride and enjoyment. Mixed - use development in key locations, such as Civic Center Drive and near the 24"' Street Trolley Station, will help to generate new vitality in the Westside and accomplish goals for revitalization, walkability, and neighborhood -oriented shopping and services. While this vision accommodates phasing out businesses that currently conflict with and disrupt residents' daily living, compatible commercial and office activities will be allowed on the perimeter of the residential core, including strategic areas adjacent to Interstate 5 (I-5), Mile of Cars Way, and National City Boulevard. A successful neighborhood also relies on a safe and efficient pedestrian environment where people enjoy walking from their homes to community activity centers, schools, shopping, parks, and transit. The Community Corridors, enhanced for pedestrian comfort and safety, connect these centers (see Figure ES-1). DOCUMENT ORGANIZATION This Westside Specific Plan consists of eight chapters addressing different neighborhood revitalization components, sununarized below. Chapters 3 through 7 contain goals, guidelines, and implementing programs to direct future development and public improvement consistent with the vision. • Chapter 1, Introduction: Explains the overall intent of the Specific Plan, its relationship to other City development policy and regulatory documents, and the plan's origins in community dialogue.

I low•ever, improvements could be made that would encourage optimal use of the nonvehicular options (i.e., transit, walking, and bicycling) and enhance the residential qualities of the neighborhood. In addition, the residents of the neighborhood have noted several undesirable aspects of the circulation system. These conditions include: • hncrcased local vehicle and truck traffic, particularly concentrated on West 9°i Street and to a lesser extent Wilson Avenue, from the industrial and auto -related businesses. • Cross-town traffic taking advantage of the 1-5 underpasses at West 181h Street to cut through the neighborhood, sometimes at high speeds per observations from community members - the concern Ls greatest at Kimball School. • Residents' concerns about excessive speeds on streets that feed to or from freeway ramps. • i.,ack of controls at some intersections and reliance on yield - signs at others, both of which are associated with concerns about accident risks. • Excessive on -street parking from insufficient on -site vehicle storage space at many automobile service businesses, resulting in double-parking, blocked driveway access, and absence of space for residents and their visitors. • Limited Tines -of -sight from on -street truck parking. • Excessive street widths, which encourage speeding and expose pedestrians to traffic for longer than necessary when crossing streets. • Few cross -walks - there is only one serving Kimball School. • Limited lighting and sidewalks in disrepair • on many neighborhood streets. While the circulation system serves vehicle travel well, the conditions noted above have increasingly degraded the desirability and perceived safety of walking and bicycling. This in turn affects transit accessibility since people often rely on walking and bicycling for a portion of transit trips- Furthermore, the prevalence of uncontrolled and yield -sign controlled intersections could be associated with greater hazard risks if development activity in the Westside increases. 2-8 WESTSIOE SPECIFIC PUN Draft 8/14/07 Enhancing Waikability' in National City's Old Town Neighborhood Prepared for Funded by Old Town Neighborhood Council San Diego Regional Nutritional Network, and _l•A<1 Latino 5-a-Day �,.•'"�" ". -, � nnutrt-itioa -� 11i T"vv�rzK EAT�ADAY pb r..w...n .rnVe e.Prrts ,kh. 0.0. a; sx seem. s Awn BE ACTIVE September 2005 oZ Introduction & Methodology Enhancing Walkqcability in National City's Old Town Neighborhood Introduction This report documents the results of a workshop and walk audit conducted by WalkSanDiego on August 20, 200.5, including priority issues and recommendations for pedestrian improvements in the Old Town neighborhood. Also included are WalkSanDiego's suggestions for improvements. Walkability is fundamental to a community's health, vitality and quality of life. Increasingly, cities and communities are looking to improve the pedestrian environment as a strategy for revitalizing business districts, increasing the safety and ability of children to walk to school, improving the health of residents, and creating a greater sense of "place" and community. character. The Old Town neighborhood in the City of National City was originally such a community when developed in the early 20th century. The neighbor- hood futures some excellent facilities to access by walking such as an elementary school, a public transit station with bus and trolley access, and a forthcoming nature center and walking path along the creek that flows tluough the neighborhood. Like many neighborhoods in the region, Old Town experiences many of the negative consequences associated with streets and neighborhoods whose design has becn•clianged over theyears to favor automo- bile. travel. The neighborhood's wide streets, lack of crosswalks, and weak traffic calming and safrdty mea- sures make walking unsafe and unpleasant, particularly for those most. vulnerable - children, the disabled id setuors. Additionally, being sandwiched Iwtwe.en three major roadways (Interstate 5, National'City Boulevard and Mile. of Cars Way) and die mix of industrial/commercial and residential uses have further deteriorated die neighborhood's walkability. • To address walkability issues, the Old Town Neighborhood Council launched an effort to improve pedestrian safety and walkability in the City's neighborhoods. With funding from the San Diego and Imperial Regional Nutrition Network, WalkSanDieyo conducted a Walkability Workshop and Walk Audit with Old Town cot:a nullity members.. The purpose of the workshop was to educate community members about walkability as it affects access to -healthy foods and physical activity, as well as -to identify residents' pedestrian safety issues, needs., and -priorities. As the (City of National City is currently undergoing development of the Westside Specific Plan, which encompasses the Old Town neighborhood, results of the workshop may inform developments in that planning effort. WalfSanDiego Background WalktianDiego (www.walk,andiego.org) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit membership organization dedicated to enhancing the livability of communities throughout the San Diego region by helping cities and neighixir- hoods rake walking a safe and viable choice for people of all abilities. WalkSanl)iego has approximately 150 members, an 11-member Board of Directors, and a 10-member Advisory Council of distinguished community leaders. WalkSanDiego's effoits in ()Id Town arc part of the Next Steps Project - an initiative to provide outreach, training, and technical assistance to low-income cornnumities; where walking for transportation is still common and the t isk of being hit by a vehicle is documented to be 2-4 times higher than the, general population_ 2 Introduction & Methodology Acknowledgments •I he Old Town National City workshop and audit and this report were funded by a grant from the San ] )iego and linpeiial Regional Nutrition Network (www.sdnnonline.org and wwwsd5aday.org). The Old 'lown Neighlx,rhood Council provided logistical support for the workshop, RBF Consulting (wwvr.rbf.com) donated workshop materials, and the City of National City (www.ci.nationalcity.ca.us) provided breakfast and lunch. Additionally, the Environmental Health Coalition (www.environmentalhealth.org) provided translation equipment, and Ervin Poka, Jr. provided translation services. WalkSanDiego gratefully acknowl- edges the support of these organizations and individuals. Walkability Community Workshop "Ilie workshop and audit occurred on Saturday, August 20, 2(X)5 from 8:30 a.rn. to 12:30 p.m. at the Casa L)e Salud Community Center in National City. Workshop announcement flyers (in English and Spanish). were distributed to the Old Town Neighborhood Council and a local church group, and they were posted at key lc cations throughout the community. Approximately (>O community members attended, including approximately 15 monolingual Spanish community members who received.sirnultancous translation services throughout the workshop by Ervin Poka, Jr. and others. All participants received an agenda and a comment form (in English and Spanish), the latter for personal notes or subnritlingwritten comments to be included in the workshop results (included at the end of this report). Old Town Neighborhood Council President 'lid Godshall( began the workshop by thanking participants for attending and introducing WalkSanl.)iego Board members Danielle Putnam and Andy Pendoley, who subsequently acknowledged additional stakeholders in the audience: Blanca Melendrez, Program Coordi- nator of the Latino 5-a-1)ay ( :ampaigti, and Bobbette Bidulph of EDAW, project manager for the Westside Specific Plan. Ms. Petrnatn and Mr. Pendoley then presented a one -hour informative slide show with an interactive format that discussed why walkable communities are important, typical problems that impair walkability, and the elements of a walkable community. Participantsshared comments throughout the presentation and provided input on Post -It notes regarding what they like and what needs improvement related to Old 'Iown's walkabilit.y. WalkSanDiego's Ms. Pumain and Mr. Pendoley then each led a separate group of participants on a different walking route through the. neigh- borhood. Participants applied what they learned in the slide show, pointing out the positive and negative lxdestiian safety issues and potential solutions, with facilitation by WalkSanDiego. Upon returning from the one - hour walks, participants formed four small - -groups to further discuss the problems and solutions identified on the walk audits and reporter] this back t.o the larger group. Partici- pants drx itinented their comments by drawing and writing on large maps, allowing them to specifically indicate problem areas and suggest solutions. 3 EXI-HBIT N -• LETTERS OI• SUPPORT (SEE ATTACHED) <WA L '`> 'SanDiego November 21, 2007 City Engineer City of National City Engineering Department 1243 National ('ity Boulevard National City, ('A 91950-4301 Dear City Engineer: WalkSanr)ie-Jo 40 13' Street, Suite 22C San Diego, CA 92101 mailg•:,aiksar,die o.c; I am writing to express the support of WalkSanDiego for National City's Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Program grant application. In August of 2005 we conducted a Walkability Workshop and Walk Audit with National City's Old Town conununity members to identify safety issues, needs, and priorities. The Kimball Elementary School, located at Coolidge Avenue and 18°i Street, was designated a high priority for improvements, due to the lack of pedestrian buffers adjacent to the street, minimal crosswalk facilities, vehicular speeding, and poor sight distance conditions. Our recommended solutions included a variety of traffic calming measures to reduce speeds and cut -through traffic on residential streets. This would contribute to unproved air quality in the area. We applaud the city's efforts to pursue funding provided by the Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Program and offer our full support for your chosen projects.

A-200 (9/80) Council Agenda Statement Page 2 Resolution- School Resource Officer Program In 2007, because of personnel shortages at the Police Department, the MOU was not in place and the school districts were not requested to provide funding, although three unfunded School Resource Officers continued to be assigned to the schools. Now that improved police staffing allows for a fourth police officer to be assigned as an SRO, the National School District and Sweetwater Union High School District have both indicated an interest in continuing the program under the traditional funding agreement. If this resolution is approved the City of National City will be reimbursed the described funds in the amount of $114,483 from the National School District and the Sweetwater Union High School District. This MOU is for a six month period to cover the remainder of the 20007-2008 fiscal year at which time a new MOU for the entire next fiscal year will be requested. The Board of the National School District and the Board of the Sweetwater Union High School District will each approve their respective proposed MOU with the City of National City covering the second half of the fiscal year 2007-2008 beginning on January 1, 2008. Under the proposed MOU's, one School Resource Officer will be assigned approximately two thirds of their time, or 27 hours per week, to school campuses of the National School District and assigned to spend approximately one third, or 13 hours per week, of their time on Sweetwater Union High School District campuses. The other three School Resource Officers will be assigned full-time to the Sweetwater Union High School District campuses. The Sweetwater Union High School District and the National School Districts are essentially paying the cost of (2) full time officers and the National City Police Department will match and pay the cost of (2) full time officer for a total of four SRO's. The proposed MOU's with the Sweetwater Union High School District and National School District would be effective on January 1, 2008 and end on June 30, 2008. Approval of the resolution would enable the Chief of Police to enter / sign the Memorandum of Understandings with the National School District and the Sweetwater Union High School District in order to continue and share the costs of the School Resource Officer program.

'C� BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION N/A ATTACHMENTS ( Listed Below) Resolution No. 1. Background Report 2. Resolution No. 2004-179 3. Location Map 4. Applicant's letter of request 5. CDC correspondence A-200 (9/99) BACKGROUND REPORT The City Council approved a Tentative Subdivision Map and Conditional Use Permit on September 21, 2004, for the development of eight row homes. Council approved a Time Extension in October, 2006 to extend the permit expiration date another year until September 21, 2007. The original applicant, Alpha Project, a non-profit entity, had an agreement with the Community Development Commission to provide two of the units for persons with low to moderate incomes. Alpha Project sold their interest in the property to the current owners in February of 2006. The new property owners do not plan to provide any affordable units. No Condition of Approval was included with the original approval to require such units and since the property was sold, the agreement was dissolved. All Tentative Subdivision Maps are approved with a condition allowing two years to finalize the map. As no Final Map has been processed for the proposed project, this Tentative Subdivision Map will expire unless extended. The Subdivision Ordinance allows up to three time extensions for a total of 36 months. Whereas the request for the Time Extension of the Subdivision does not require a publicly -noticed hearing, the associated Conditional Use Permit does require such a hearing. Such extensions may be granted by the original approving body for no more than one year for each extension. The City Council has the option to either approve or deny the applicants' request for an extension of the Tentative Subdivision Map and Conditional Use Permit. The current property owners are requesting an additional time extension. They state that they have continued to work diligently to complete the subdivision map, but need more time to complete the Final Map requirements. Specifically, the applicants are working on providing a grading and street improvement bond to the satisfaction of the Engineering Department. At the City Council meeting of October 16, 2007, the Council had questions for the applicant, who was not present, regarding the inclusion of affordable units. Council continued the item to the meeting of November 20, 2007 in order for the applicant to be present for questions. At the November 20 meeting, the applicant was asked whether the project included an affordable_ housing component; they stated that it did not. They then provided a copy of a letter from the CDC, dated September 21, 2005, indicating that the original agreement between Alpha Project and the CDC would expire upon transfer of the property to the applicant the letter is attached for your reference. An issue then arose regarding the funding source used to purchase the property prior to the subdivision and Conditional Use Permit application being submitted. The matter was continued to the December 18, 2007 meeting to provide staff the opportunity to obtain an answer to this question. Staff has now determined that no 20% set aside -funds or I-IOME funds were used in acquiring the property and that, in fact, the CDC never owned the property. The extent of the CDC's involvement was that in December, 2003 the CDC entered into an Owner Participation Agreement (OPA) with the Alpha Project for the Homeless, wherein Alpha, the owner of the property , was to build eight condominiums, with two to three units to be available to moderate income families. The CDC was to provide a no -interest bearing loan of $690,824 in 20% set -aside funds to Alpha. However, Alpha decided not to pursue the project and sold it to the present owner. The CDC recovered $130,000 that it had already paid Alpha for the project. 1 6808 RESOLUTION NO. 2004 -179 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY APPROVING A TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP TO DIVIDE A 12,750 SQUARE FOOT PROPERTY ON THE EAST SIDE OF C AVENUE BETWEEN 8TH STREET AND 9TH STREET, INTO EIGHT RESIDENTIAL LOTS WITH A CONDITIONAL .USE PERMIT FOR -ONE OF THE LOT-S-•-• • TO HAVE AN ACCESSORY LIVING UNIT APPLICANT: BRETT FARROW - FOR ALPHA PROJECT CASE FILE NO.: S-2004-6/CUP-2004-18 WHEREAS, application was made for approval of a tentative subdivision map for approval of a tentative subdivision map and conditional use permit on property generally: described as: Lot. 4, 6, 6, 7 and a portion of Lot 8 in Block 4 of W.C. Kimball's Subdivision of 10 Acre Lot 1 on Quarter Section 154 of Rancho De La Nacion, in the City of National City, County of San Diego, State of California, according to Map thereof No. 105, filed in the Office of the County Recorder of San Diego County March 10, 1887. WHEREAS, the. Planning Commission of the City of National City, California, considered said applications ata public hearing held on August 16, 2004, and by Resolution recommended conditional approval of the application; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of National City considered said applications at a public hearing held on September 7,. 2004, at which time oral- and documentary evidence was presented; and WHEREAS, at said public hearing the City Council considered the staff report prepared for Case File Nos. S-2004-6 and CUP-2004-18 which are maintained by the City, and incorporated herein by reference; along with evidence and testimony at said hearing; and WHEREAS, this action istaken 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 by the City Council of the City of National City, California, that it hereby approves the tentativesubdivision map to divide a 12,750 square foot property on the east side of C Avenue between 8th Street and 9th Street, into eight residential lots with a conditional use permit for one of the lots to have an accessory living unit, based on the following findings: 2 6809 Resolution No. 2004 —179 September 21, 2004 Page 2 FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF THE TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP 1. The proposed map is consistent with the National City General Plan and applicable specific plans, since eight new homeownership opportunities will be created on a vacant commercial property at a density (30.2 units/acre) that is consistent with the maximum allowed by the General Plan (34.8 units/acre). Also, the high quality characteristics and urban style of the residential development will strengthen the urban residential neighborhood in this area as encouraged by the General Plan. Finally, there are no relevant specific plans for this area. 2. The site is physically suitable for the proposed type of development, since the urban style residential development will harmonize with the existing urban residential and commercial, development in the vicinity, and since most of the development in the area is multi -storied. 3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development, since the proposed 30.2 units/acre is consistent with the maximum 34.8 units/acre allowed by the General Plan and with the density of existing nearby development, which varies within the project block from approximately 20 units/acre to 40 units/acre. Also, adequate off-street parking and private 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 small 12,950 square foot site, which was previously developed, is devoid of any vegetation, 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. 3 • Resolution No. 2004 —179 September 21, 2004 Page 3 681O 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. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR AN ACCESSORY LIVING UNIT ON LOT 6 1. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape, since as a part of a larger project the site is large enough to accommodate the main living unit and small accessory living unit/companion flat with adequate off-street parking and private open space. 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 as part of a larger project, which itself will contribute only a minimal amount of traffic to the roads in the area, the two units on lot 6 will generate an insignificant 16 average daily trips which can easily be absorbed by the nearby residential and commercial roads. 3. That the proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting properties, since the density of the proposal is similar to that of nearby existing development and since a greater ratio of parking per unit will be provided and since adequate setbacks will be maintained. 4. That the proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience and welfare, since the creation of a multitude of residential housing types is encouraged by the City's General Plan and since the project will be meeting contemporary regional housing demand. Resolution No. 2004 — 179 September 21, 2004 Page 4 681.1 FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF THE REQUESTED EXCEPTIONS FOR REDUCED LOT SIZE AND STREET FRONTAGE 1. . The property to be divided is of such size or shape, or is affected by such topographic conditions that it is impossible or impracticable in the particular case to conform fully to the subdivision requirements, since the proposed project fully utilizes the elevated street and level alley frontage consistent with the pattern of existing residential development in the area. 2. The exceptions will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, welfare or be detrimental to the use of other properties in the vicinity, since the proposed subdivision and development include numerous design features that will make it compatible with. the adjacent urban residential and commercial properties. 3. Granting of the exceptions is in accordance with the intent and purposes of this Title, and is consistent with the General Plan and with all specific plans or other plans of the City, since the General Plan encourages the creation of home ownership opportunities, which the requested exceptions facilitate, and since the functional design of the proposed subdivision is compatible with adjacent and nearby development consistent with the intent of this Title_ FINDING FOR EXCEPTION TO SETBACK REQUIREMENTS That the proposed front, side and rear yard setbacks are adequate to continue the existing development pattern on adjacent parcels, buffer the units from the streets and adjacent development while allowing for eight high quality residential -units to be provided with a greater ratio of parking spaces per unit than other development in the area. FINDINGS FOR MIXED USE EXCEPTIONS 1. That because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including shape, topography, and location, 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 under the proposal a greater ratio of parking per unit will be provided than is provided on many of the developed properties in the area. Also, since the design of the off-street parking is both functional and consistent with City Design Guidelines. Finally, the proposed building heights are consistent with the heights of existing development in the area and under the same zoning classification, and are less than would be allowed for commercial development on the property. 5 1 Resolution No. 2004 —179 September 21, 2004 Page 5 6812 2. That the requested exceptions are subject to such conditions which will assure that the adjustment authorized will not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which such property is situated, since existing nearby developments in the CG Zone provide a lesser ratio of off-street parking- spaces per unit in sub -standard parking lots. 3. That the exceptions do not authorize a use or activity which is not otherwise expressly authorized by the zoning regulations goveming the parcel of property, since residential development is permitted in the General Commercial (CG) Zone with an approved site plan. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that based on the findings hereinbefore stated, said Tentative Subdivision Map to divide a 12,750 square foot property. on the east side of C Avenue between 8t' Street and 9"' Street, into eight residential lots with a conditional use permit for one of the lots to have an accessory living unit is hereby approved subject to the following conditions: This Tentative Map and Conditional Use Permit authorize the division of one project site into eight lots for development with eight residential units and one accessory living unit Except as required by conditions of approval, all plans submitted for permits associated with the project shall conform with Exhibits A -revised, B-revised and C, Case File no.

ITEM TITLE RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY APPROVING THE TRANSFER OF SIX PARATRANSIT MEDALLIONS/PERMITS FROM YELLOW CAB TO THREE DIFFERENT TAXICAB ENTITIES PREPARED BY EXPLANATION Jeanette Ladri Finance Dire DEPARTMENT Finance x 4330 In order to operate taxicabs in the City, an individual or entity must obtain a taxicab permit from the City. Specifically, each permit holder is then issued a limited number of medallions approved by the City Council. A medallion is then attached to each taxicab owned by the permit holder. The procedure for the transfer of medallions from an existing holder of a taxicab permit to a new permittee is virtually the same procedure for applying for a new permit which requires completion of an application accompanied by a $3,000 processing fee, permit transfer request fee of $200 and $300 for each permit in excess of one. This procedure is set forth in Section 11.70.030 of the National City Municipal Code. The purpose of this resolution is to request approval from the City Council from Yellow Cab for the transfer of six of their medallions to three different taxicab entities: Leonardo Cab (a sole proprietorship), Golis Cab Company and Jano Cab Company (a partnership). Shortly after the City took over the administration of taxicabs from MTDB in 2004, it approved Yellow Cab 40 medallions, Red Cab 11 medallions, USA Cab 6 medallions, West Coast Cab 22 medallions, and RJ Cab 6 medallions for an overall total of 85 medallions approved by the City Council.

ITEM TITLE Initiation of an Amendment to Title 18 (Zoning) of the Municipal Code Regarding Signs. PREPARED BY ' Roger Post, 336-4310 /')George Eiser, 336-4220 EXPLANATION DEPARTMENT Planning City Attorney The City Attorney's Office has advised that certain provisions of the City's Sign Ordinance may have constitutional problems. It would therefore be appropriate to amend the Code. The first step would be for the City Council to initiate such an amendment. Public hearings would then be scheduled before the Planning Commission and then City Council.

Doucette, Sr. Assistant City Attorney SUBJECT: Sign Ordinance Amendments Recommendation DATE: December 6, 2007 INTRODUCTION Is the City's current sign ordinance valid in relation to the political sign provisions in Section 18 of the National City Municipal Code? DISCUSSION The City's sign ordinance provisions in question are codified in two pertinent sections, Section 18.62.090.E.4 and 18.62.210.H. Section 18.62.090.E.4 states that no political sign shall exceed thirty-two square feet in size. Section 18.62.210 states that prohibited signs include off - site signs, such as billboards, except as permitted by Section 18.62.090. This exception for off - site signage contained in Section 18.62.090 permits off -site signage of one hundred square feet if the sign pertains to business, leasing, and industrial messages. Accordingly, while off -site signage containing business, leasing, or industrial messages (essentially commercial messages) may be as large as one hundred square feet, political messages, considered non-commercial speech, can only be as large as thirty-two square feet. Therefore, commercial, off -site signage is favored in that it is allowed to he three times larger than political, non-commercial off -site signage. T have reviewed numerous cases pertaining to political, non-commercial sign ordinance challenges. The paramount U.S. Supreme Court case is Metromedia v. San Diego (1982) 453 U.S. 490, which held that commercial speech can not be favored over non-commercial speech. Numerous cases after Metromedia have upheld this concept. (See, for example, City of Antioch v. Candidates Outdoor Graphic Service (1982) 557 F.Supp. 52, specifically holding that temporary political signage can not be less favored than temporary commercial speech.) The City of El Cajon had a challenge to their local ordinance based on a similar point, and a portion of their ordinance was stricken as unconstitutional. Based upon Metromedia and other cases thereafter, the City of National City's sign ordinance provisions cited above could thereby be deemed unconstitutional, as they clearly favor commercial speech in their dimensions over non- commercial speech, including political speech. Other concerns about the validity of a sign ordinance would include when an ordinance requires a reader to determine its viability based upon the content of the speech (other than the non-commercial and commercial distinctions), such as when the regulation refers to allowance of a sign in a particular location if it is for a special event, real estate sales, political advertisement or leasing of homes. This has been deemed unconstitutional as well. Municipalities are only allowed to regulate time, place and manner of speech/signage, and it can not he regulated by what the speech says. (Cornelius v. NAACP (1985) 473 U.S. 788.) Various provisions in the current National City sign ordinance related to temporary signage in Section I8.62 require the reader to determine the viability of a sign based upon the content of the temporary sign. It references temporary signage such as real estate signs, residential construction, leasing, etc. and provides different regulations of size, height, or number for each type. Since the regulations require the content to be scrutinized before the dimensions are determined, this would be deemed content -based discrimination and is prohibited under the First Amendment. Accordingly, I recommend that the current sign ordinance be amended to comply with past and recent case law. I have available a sample of my recommendations as to amendments to this section of the City's Municipal Code. CONCLUSION The City's sign ordinance as currently written should be amended, particularly related to temporary and political signage, as the provisions could be deemed to violate the First Amendment. 10 �� DOUCETT Sen • r Assistant City Attorney • Page 2 City of National City, California COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION AGENDA STATEMENT MEETING DATE December 18, 2007 AGENDA ITEM NO. 14 il-TEM TITLE Warrant Register for the period of 11/16/07 through 11/29/07 in the amount of $190,799.70 PREPARED BY Rizza Dela Cuadra DEPARTMENT CDC— Finance Accountant Jeanette Ladrido EXPLANATION (619) 336-4331 The Finance Department has implemented a policy to provide explanation of all warrants above $50,000.00.

Background Report: On September 10, 1998, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) published its final rule for the Section 8 Management Assessment Program (SEMAP), which took effect on October 13, 1998. SEMAP provides for the objective measurement of the performance of a public housing agency (PHA) in key areas of the Section 8 tenant -based assistance program. SEMAP enables HUD to ensure program integrity and accountability identifying PHA management capabilities and deficiencies and by improving risk assessment to effectively target monitoring and program assistance. PHAs' can use SEMAP performance analysis to assess their own program operations. The SEMAP Indicators Report provides information on families participating in the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program. The report is one of the several inputs used to derive a score and rating for PHAs as it relates to SEMAP certification. The SEMAP requires a PHA who administers Section 8 tenant -based assistance programs to submit annually a SEMAP certification form. On July 18, 2007 the Community Development Commission of National City (CDC) submitted its SEMAP certification report to HUD with a 96% rating labeling the Community Development Commission as a high performing PHA. The current lease -up rate for the Section 8 Program is 94%. Housing staff continues to conduct initial eligibility review on all National City residents who meet the local preference and who applied during 2003 and 2004. It is anticipated that the lease -up rate will be at 100% at the end of the calendar year.

PREPARED BY ckDEPARTMENT Patricia Beard, Redevelopment Manager Redevelopment Division 4255 EXPLANATION The study being conducted is a companion to the Westside Specific Planning effort ("WSP") and is intended to consider how a replacement industrial park for businesses which may be deemed non -conforming under the Plan might be feasibly redeveloped. Under the original scope approved on June 19, 2007, the selected consultant was to have considered sites only west of 1- 5 as part of the study. On further consideration, staff believes that if the relocation industrial park is developed to cause no detrimental environmental impacts to the neighborhood, other altematives nearer to the Mile of Cars should be studied. A nearer location might reduce potential negative economic impacts to the businesses and Mile of Cars, which they serve. This amendment would allow for analysis of sites east of 1-5 to be considered as locations for the potential industrial park. Environmental Review Not applicable. Financial Statement There will be no additional costs associated with this amendment. Account No 9 STAFF RECOMMENDATION Adopt the resolution.
