A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA,
APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A
TATTOO & BODY PIERCING STUDIO AT AN
EXISTING CLOTHING STORE IN WESTFIELD PLAZA BONITA.
CASE FILE NO. 2011-15 CUP
APN: 564-471-07
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of National City considered a
Conditional Use Permit for a tattoo & body piercing studio at an existing clothing store
in Westfield Plaza Bonita at a duly advertised public hearing held on June 6, 2011, 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. 2011-15 CUP 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 June 6, 2011, support the following findings:
1. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape, since the
proposed use will be within an existing commercial suite within a regional mall and
since no expansion of the building is proposed.
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 proposed use is served by both Plaza Bonita Road and
Sweetwater Road, arterial streets, and since tattoo and body piercing as an
accessory use to a clothing store is not expected to increase the amount of traffic to
the site.
3. That the proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting
properties, since the use is contained wholly within an existing building and the use
is consistent with other commercial uses within other commercial zones of the City.
4. That the proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience,
since it will allow the business to expand its services, thus increasing profitability
and the chances for success.
