COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
MEETING DATE: September 3, 2013
AGENDA ITEM NO.
ITEM TITLE:
A Resolution certifying a Negative Declaration and authorizing the City Council of the City of National City to
file a Notice of Determination related to amending Section 18.30.360 of Title 18 (Land Use Code) of the
National City Municipal Code related to fast food restaurant Iocational requirements (Applicant The Focus
Group) (Case File 2013-12 IS)
PREPARED BY: MartinVReeder, AICP
PHONE: 619-336-4313
EXPLANATION:
DEPARTMENT:
APPROVED
The applicant wishes to modify section 18.30.360 of the Land Use that currently prohibits fast food restaurants
from locating within 300 feet of a residential zoned property. The modification proposes to allow the restaurants
within 300 feet if they are located in the MXC-2 and MXD-2 zones.
A CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) checklist was prepared to analyze the potential for any significant
impacts to the environment as a result of this project. No such impacts were identified. It found that cumulative
impacts of additional fast food restaurants would not be over and above the same properties being developed
with currently permitted commercial uses. Any changes to the existing land use framework were considered in
the City's General Plan and the City is prepared to accept the development anticipated. A copy of the CEQA
checklist and the associated Negative Declaration are attached to this report.
This Negative Declaration is related to a request to amend the Land Use Code and to construct a fast food
restaurant at 2100 Highland Avenue, which is on this same agenda.
