2012-03 S, DSP Park Lofts
1 The project is consistent with the Downtown Specific Plan for which an
Environmental Impact Report was certified and Mitigation Measures and a
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program were adopted.
2. The proposed map is consistent with the General Plan since it is consistent with and
implements the Downtown Specific Plan, which is a further refinement of the goals
and objectives of the General Plan.
3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed type of development since the
proposed project and all required improvements can be provided on site, and the
project would comply with the applicable development standards or has been
granted the appropriate exemptions.
4. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development since the
proposed project and all required improvements can be provided on site, and the
project would comply with the applicable development standards or has been
granted the appropriate exemptions.
5. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat, since the site is was previously developed and is located in a
completely urbanized area.
6. The design of the subdivision and the proposed/required improvements are not
likely to cause serious public health problems, since all necessary public services,
facilities, infrastructure, and utilities will be provided.
7 The design of the subdivision and the proposed/required improvements will not
conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of
the property within the proposed subdivision, or such easements will be provided or
relocated as required.
8. The discharge of sewerage waste from the subdivision into the City of National City
sewer system will not result in violation of existing requirements prescribed by the
California Regional Quality Control Board pursuant to Division 7 (commencing with
Section 13000) of the Water Code, as specified by Government Code Section
66474.6.
9. The subdivision has been considered by the Planning Commission with regard to its
effect on the housing needs of the region, and these needs are balanced by the
public service needs of the residents and available fiscal and environmental
resources.
10. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive and
natural heating and cooling opportunities in the subdivision, based on consideration
of local climate, topography, property configuration and other design and
improvement requirements without requiring reduction in allowable density or lot
coverage.
RECOMMENDED FINDINGS FOR DENIAL
2012-03 S, DSP Park Lofts
1 The proposed map is not consistent with the General Plan since recordation of the
map would result in the loss of 40 feet of public street, which would cause loss of
street parking and reduce pedestrian access to Kimball Park.
2. The site is not physically suitable for the proposed type of development since the
proposed project and all required improvements cannot be provided on site in the
current four-story configuration without vacating 40 feet of East 15th Street.
3. The design of the subdivision and the proposed/required improvements will conflict
with access adjacent to the property, as removal of the sidewalk adjacent to the City
Library and omission of the paseo will result in a reduction of pedestrian access to
Kimball Park.
