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. Resolution No. 2011 — July 5, 2011 Page Two 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. 7.
