WHEREAS, the City Council considered a Downtown Specific Plan Consistency
Review and Conditional Use Permit for the expansion of a gas station convenience store and
the sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits for off -site consumption at 10 Osborn Street at a duly
advertised public hearing held on July 5, 2011, at which time oral and documentary evidence
was presented; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the City Council considered the staff report

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
National City that the testimony and evidence presented to the City Council at the public hearing
held on July 5, 2011, support the following findings:
1. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape, since the addition to the
existing mini -mart can be adequately constructed on the lot with all required setbacks and
parking needs met.
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 gas station is existing and the expansion of an existing mini -mart and the
addition of alcohol sales is not expected to result in an appreciable increase in traffic.

3. That the proposed use will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting properties,
since the mini -mart already exists and is located in a developed commercial area. Also,
conditions of approval controlling the sale of alcohol will reduce the potential for adverse
effects.
4. That the proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience and
welfare, since it will contribute to the viability of the service station, an established and
allowed use in the applicable commercial zone.
5. That the design enhancement of the property will contribute to the viability of an existing
older business and to other local businesses along the National City Boulevard commercial
corridor.
6. That the project complies with the maximum height, minimum setback, maximum floor -
area -ratio, maximum density (where applicable), minimum build -to -line, and minimum
parking requirements and standards of the Specific Plan.

property for the retail sales of alcoholic beverages pursuant to law.
