CASE FILE NO. 2014-01 CUP
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission f the City of National City considered F.
Conditional Use Permit for a wireless communications facility located at 382 Cagle
Street, at a duly advertised public hearing held on March 3, 2014, 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. 2014-01 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 March 3, 2014, support the following findings:
1. That the proposed use is not consistent with the General Plan, since Policy OS-
5.2 strives to meet and maintain a park to population ratio of 4.75 acres per
1,000 residents — a ratio which is currently less than 3 acres per 1,000 residents
— and since there are multiple General Plan policies that discourage loss of open
space, which would result from an additional wireless facility in the park.
That2. th •+_ a_- th_ upu d use is not adequate in size and shape, since the
the site ��,� _, �� ,r
combined footprint of the three existing facilities (approximately 1,157 square feet)
and the proposed 408 square -foot facility would reduce space within the 2.35-acre
public park by almost two percent.
3. That the proposed use will have an adverse effect upon adjacent or abutting
properties, since the new facility would exacerbate existing safety and security
issues related to graffiti, loitering, and drug usage in the comer of the park where
the project is proposed.
4. That the proposed use is not deemed essential and desirable to the public
convenience and welfare, since it will increase the private use of a public park to
the exclusion of the public and decrease useable park area for the enjoyment of
the general public.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the application for Conditional Use Permit is
denied.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that this Resolution shall become effective and final on The
day following the City Council meeting where the Planning Commission resolution is set for
review, unless an appeal in writing is filed with the City Clerk prior to 5:00 p.m. on the day of
that City Council meeting. The City Ccuncii may, at that meeting, appeal the decision of the
Planning Commission and set the matter for public hearing.
