ITEM TITLE:
Public Hearing — Modification of a Previously Approved Tentative Subdivision Map and Consistency
Review for "Park Lofts" located at 1509, 1531, 1535 National City Blvd. (Applicant Paradise Creek Holding
Corporation) (Case File 2012-03 S, DSP)
PREPARED BY: Martin Ree er, AICP
PHONE: 336-4313
EXPLANATION:
The project site is the block south of the National City Library in Development Zone 13 of the Downtown
Specific Plan. The approximately 1.92 acres site is comprised of four parcels on the east side of National City
Blvd. between 15th and 16th Streets and adjacent to Kimball Park. A Tentative Subdivision Map and
Consistency Review were approved in 2006 for a 6-story 306-unit condominium building with 334 parking
spaces and 3,800 square feet of commercial space. A Street Vacation was also processed for the alley
bisecting the property and for the southerly 40 feet of the 15th Street right-of-way (currently 65 feet wide).
The original project included a "paseo", which took up the remaining 25 feet of 15th Street.
A subsequent approved design in 2008 reduced the project to four stories, 222 units, and 238 parking
spaces. The applicant is now proposing to reduce the scope of the project, remove the paseo, and is asking
for the omission/modification of the original Conditions of Approval.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this item at a special meeting held on September 22,
2014. The Commission recommended approval of the Tentative Subdivision Map and Consistency Review
based on attached findings and Conditions of Approval. The attached background report describes the
proposal in detail.
