National City City Council
December 3, 2024

Planning Commission
Meeting of November 18, 2024

1. Require that staff and management attend an in-person Responsible Beverage Sales and Service training.

2. Require an ID scanner to prevent sales to underage youth.

3. To prevent the establishment from transforming into a night club, which could increase crime and nuisance problems, require that the restaurant always provide breakfast, lunch and dinner and have hours of operation end by 12:00 am daily.

4. Require that the establishment must submit receipts as evidence of food sales offered along with alcohol before annual renewal of license.

Standard conditions of approval are included in the report in compliance with City Council Policy 707. IPS comments are included as Attachment 7. Conditions of approval are included that restrict the hours of alcohol sales and live entertainment. ABC does not recommend or require ID scanners as a method of checking identification; therefore, this comment has not been included as a condition.

Findings for Approval
The following are the required findings in the attached draft resolution:

1. Allowable Use: Alcohol sales and live entertainment are allowable within Minor Mixed-Use Corridor zone, pursuant to a CUP, and the proposed use meets the required guidelines in the Land Use Code for alcohol sales and live entertainment, as discussed in the staff report. The use is incidental to the existing restaurant use in a mixed-use area.

2. General Plan Consistency: Alcohol sales and live entertainment are a permitted use, subject to a CUP, by the Land Use Code, which is consistent with the General Plan. In addition, a restaurant with alcohol sales and live entertainment is consistent with the Minor Mixed-Use Corridor zone land use designation and the Community Character element of the General Plan.

3. Compatibility, LUC, and Traffic: No expansion of the building is proposed.

The proposal involves an existing commercial space, which was previously analyzed for traffic impacts when it was constructed. The site is physically suitable for the type, density, and intensity of use being proposed, including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints. The proposed uses would be incidental to the primary use of food service.

Planning Commission
Meeting of November 18, 2024

4. No Nuisance: The proposed use will be subject to conditions that limits the sale of beer and wine as well as the hours that it will be available. Beer and wine will only be available with the sale of food. In addition, all staff members serving alcohol are required to receive RBSS training. Live entertainment will be limited to acceptable hours and to levels of noise that will not disturb surrounding residential uses.

5. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has been determined to be categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to Class 1, Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) for which a Notice of Exemption will be filed subsequent to approval of this Conditional Use Permit. The reason for the exemption is that the use is proposed within an existing commercial building, and the use is similar to other commercial uses in the area, which are permitted in Minor Mixed-Use Corridor zone.

6. Public Convenience and Necessity: The restaurant, a permitted use in the Minor Mixed-Use Corridor zone, will benefit from the sale of alcohol and live entertainment by providing for a wider diversity of businesses that add character to the area.

Findings for Denial
The following are findings for denial:

7. Granting the permit would constitute a nuisance or be injurious or detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or materially injurious to persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located, because the extension of the hours that alcohol is served, in addition to live entertainment, may increase the propensity for over-consumption of alcohol and increase the potential for impacts to the surrounding area.

8. Based on the above findings, public convenience and necessity will not be served by a proposed use of the property for live entertainment and the onsite sale of alcoholic beverages pursuant to law.

Conditions of Approval
Standard Conditions of Approval have been included with this permit as well as conditions specific to on-site alcohol sales per Council Policy 707 (hours of

Planning Commission
Meeting of November 18, 2024

operation, employee training, and accessory sales, etc.). If approved, the resolution of approval for this CUP would supersede the previous 1987 resolution.

Summary
The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan due to alcohol sales for onsite consumption and live entertainment being conditionally-allowed uses in Minor Mixed-Use Corridor zone. The alcohol sales use would continue to be accessory to the existing restaurant use in an established commercial area. The addition of live entertainment, while increasing the potential for morphing, will also be accessory to the restaurant use. Beer and wine will only be available with the sale of food. The census tract in which the restaurant is located is not considered over-concentrated with regard to on-sale alcohol licenses and the Police Department has classified the establishment as Medium Risk.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION

OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA DETERMINING THAT THE

PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) UNDER CLASS 1 OF THE CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 15301 (EXISTING FACILITIES) AND CONDITIONAL USE

PERMIT FOR THE ADDITION OF LIVE ENTERTAINMENT AND EXPANSION OF APPROVED OPERATING HOURS FOR BEER AND WINE SALES (ABC TYPE-41) AT

AN EXISTING RESTAURANT (MARISCOS EL TIBURON)
LOCATED AT 543 HIGHLAND AVENUE
CASE FILE NO. 2024-21 CUP
APN: 556-311-05-00
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of National City considered a Conditional Use Permit for on-site beer and wine sales and live entertainment at an existing restaurant (Mariscos El Tiburon) located at 543 Highland Avenue. At a duly advertised public hearing held on November 18, 2024, at which time oral and documentary evidence was presented; and,
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, the Planning Commission considered the staff report contained in Case File No. 2024-21 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.

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 November 18, 2024, support the following findings:

1. The proposed use is allowable within the applicable zoning district pursuant to a Conditional Use Permit and complies with all other applicable provisions of the Land Use Code because Alcohol sales and live entertainment are allowable within the Minor Mixed-Use Corridor zone, pursuant to a CUP, and the proposed use meets the required guidelines in the Land Use Code for alcohol sales, as discussed in the staff report. It is incidental to the existing restaurant use in a mixed-use area.

2. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan, because the Land Use Code permits alcohol sales and live entertainment,

subject to a CUP, which is consistent with the General Plan. In addition, a restaurant with alcohol sales is consistent with the Minor Mixed-Use Corridor zone land use designation contained in the Land Use Code and Community Character element of the General Plan.

3. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed activity would be compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity, because no expansion of the building is proposed. The proposal involves an existing commercial space, which was previously analyzed for traffic impacts when it was constructed.

4. The site is physically suitable for the type, density, and intensity of use being proposed, including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints, because no expansion of the building is proposed. The proposed uses would be incidental to the primary use of food service.

5. Granting the permit would not constitute a nuisance or be injurious or detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or materially injurious to persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located, because the proposed use will be subject to conditions that limit the sale of beer and wine as well as the hours that it will be available. Beer and wine will only be available with the sale of food. In addition, all staff members serving alcohol are required to receive RBSS training. Live entertainment will be limited to acceptable hours and to levels of noise that will not disturb surrounding residential uses.

6. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has been determined to be categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to Class 1, Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) for which a Notice of Exemption will be filed subsequent to approval of this Conditional Use Permit. The reason for the exemption is that the use is proposed within an existing commercial building and the use is similar to other commercial uses in the area, which are permitted in the Minor Mixed-Use Corridor zone.

7. The proposed use is deemed essential and desirable to the public convenience or necessity, because the restaurant, a permitted use in the Minor Mixed-Use Corridor zone, will benefit from the extended sale of alcohol and live entertainment by providing for a wider diversity of businesses that add charm to the area.

8. Based on findings 1 through 7 above, public convenience and necessity will be served by a proposed use of the property for live entertainment and the on-site sales of alcoholic beverages in accordance with applicable law and the recommended conditions. The use, as proposed and conditioned, will operate in harmony with surrounding uses, will not cause a nuisance, and will benefit the community looking for a quality restaurant experience.

Environmental Scan
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for live entertainment and extended hours for alcohol sales (Beer & Wine) at an existing restaurant 543 Highland Ave., National City, CA 91950
Conducted: October 23, 2024
Photo of the proposed location
An environmental scan was conducted at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, October 23, 2024, for live entertainment and extended hours for alcohol sales (Beer & Wine) at an existing restaurant. The location is surrounded by other commercial uses on Highland Ave., and the streets perpendicular to Highland behind the business are residential. There is also a multiple-story apartment complex at 611 Highland Avenue, approximately 200 feet away. The business was closed at the time the environmental scan was conducted.

Proposed hours
Live Entertainment: Thursday through Sunday from 4 p.m. to 1 a.m Alcohol Sales: Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. and Friday through Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m.

During a scan of the business and premises, the following was noted:
• Graffiti on the side of the business facing Highland Avenue. • Restaurant signage on the building is tattered, faded and generally not well maintained. • Two other restaurants within 250 feet.

Youth Sensitive Areas/Other Vulnerable Locations
La Maestra Community Health Center (approximately 1,050 feet away) Central Elementary (approximately 3,000 feet away)
Chuck E. Cheese (approximately 3,000 feet away)
Churches
San Diego Spanish Seventh Day Adventist Church (approximately 2,600 feet away) is the closest one to this location.

Crime Rate
A request for crime-related information from personnel within the City of National City Police Department should determine whether existing violations against the property or applicant or incidents in the area have occurred that would discourage allowing live entertainment and extended hours of alcohol sales.

Online Reviews
• Lack of parking
• Google page indicates live music and karaoke are already offered • Blasting music until 2 a.m. every weekend (5 months ago) • Kitchen closed at 9:30 a.m. while hours posted as open until 2 a.m. (6 months ago) • Music blares through neighborhood all day (1 year ago) • Placed an order online, then told no food served at establishment (1 year ago) Community Input
Local business owner: Over the past 5-6 years, has seen numerous fights at the location. Reported that restaurant management shuts the establishment down when there is a fight. Also observes restaurant staff frequently removing trash from the front of the location.

Nearby community resident: Stated she was surprised to learn the applicant is currently applying for live entertainment because she has regularly heard loud music coming from the location at all hours for several years. Stated she regularly sees alcohol bottles, food waste and other trash all around the location, and this is of greater concern to her than the noise.

Outlet Density
Based on Centers for Disease Control guidelines, alcohol density is defined as the average distance between a person and their closest alcohol retailer. In the map above, the darker the census tract, the less distance a person has to travel to their closest alcohol retailer. The proposed location is defined as “very dense.”
Considerations
The following are considerations:

1. Require that staff and management attend an in-person Responsible Beverage Sales and Service training.

2. Require an ID scanner to prevent sales to underage youth.

3. To prevent the establishment from transforming into a night club, which could increase crime and nuisance problems, require that the restaurant always provide breakfast, lunch and dinner and have hours of operation end by 12:00 am daily.

4. Require that the establishment must submit receipts as evidence of food sales offered along with alcohol before annual renewal of license.

AGENDA REPORT
Department: Finance
Prepared by: Janel Pehau, Financial Analyst
Meeting Date: Tuesday, December 3, 2024
Approved by: Benjamin Martinez, City Manager
SUBJECT:

Redevelopment Obligations Payment Schedule for Fiscal Year 2025-26 (ROPS 25-26) and Associated Administrative Budget (SUCCESSOR AGENCY)
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt the Resolution Entitled, “Resolution of the Successor Agency to the Community Development Commission as the National City Redevelopment Agency, Approving the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) for the Period July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026 (ROPS 25-26) with Expenditures Totaling $4,128,681, Approving the Associated Administrative Budget of $67,654, and Approving the Submittal of both to the County of San Diego Countywide Redevelopment Successor Agency Oversight Board.” BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION:

Not Applicable.

EXPLANATION:

Background. Effective February 1, 2012, all Redevelopment Agencies in California were dissolved, and “Successor Agencies” were established to wind down the affairs of the former redevelopment agencies under the direction of oversight boards. Health and Safety Code Section 34177 requires successor agencies to perform a number of functions, one of which is to prepare a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) before each fiscal period that details the amounts required to be spent and the source of funds for those expenditures. Each successor agency must submit the ROPS to its oversight board for approval, after which it is forwarded for review and approval to the State Department of Finance (DOF), with copies to the County Auditor and Controller and State Controller’s Office. The San Diego County Oversight Board will consider the Agency’s ROPS at its January 16, 2025 meeting. ROPS 25-26 is due to the State Department of Finance (DOF) by February 1, 2025. In addition, successor agencies are required to prepare and submit to the oversight board an administrative budget that details the estimated administrative costs for each upcoming ROPS period. DOF does not review the administrative budget.

Even though the ROPS covers an entire fiscal year, the standardized form distributed by DOF requires that obligation payment amounts be assigned to either the “A” portion of the fiscal year (July through December) or the “B” portion of the year (January through June). The assignment of expenses to one half or the other of the fiscal year is designed not to restrict when authorized amounts may be spent during the fiscal year, but to facilitate the distribution of redevelopment property tax trust fund (RPTTF) monies, the primary source of funding for the ROPS. These monies are the equivalent of the tax increment revenues that were previously allocated to the former redevelopment agencies. The County of San Diego maintains a separate RPTTF for each

successor agency within the county. RPTTF monies are distributed on June 1 and January 2 by the County Auditor and Controller. The June 1 distribution is for expenditures expected to occur during the “A” portion of the upcoming ROPS cycle, while the January 2 distribution provides cash for the second half (“B” portion) of the cycle.

Should changes to the ROPS be necessary after the ROPS has been approved by DOF, each successor agency is allowed to amend it one time per ROPS period. The amendment must be submitted to DOF by October 1, and successor agencies may amend only the amounts requested for payment of approved enforceable obligations that fall within the “B” portion of the year; no new obligations can be created through the amendment process.

ROPS 25-26. The proposed Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule for the July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026 period (ROPS 25-26) for the National City Successor Agency, attached as Exhibit A, totals $4,128,681. Of that amount, $3,813,729 is allocated to the first half of the fiscal year and $314,952 to the second half of the fiscal year. (Note: The ROPS 25-26 presented in Exhibit A is in the form of the anticipated schedules to be issued by the State Department of Finance (DOF). The actual schedules must be completed on DOF’s website, but were not available in time to meet the City’s agenda formation deadline. Once they are available, staff will enter the amounts as shown in Exhibit A.)
The only payment obligations remaining on the ROPS are those related to debt service and administrative costs:

Debt service: In September 2017, all of the Successor Agency’s outstanding tax allocation bonds (Series 1999, 2005B, and 2011) were refunded to reduce future debt service costs on the bonds by an annual average of $1.0 million through final maturity in August 2032. For the ROPS 25-26 period, debt service payments on the 2017 refunding bonds will total $4.1 million (Items 180 – 183). Annual Trustee and financial reporting fees related to the bonds are expected to total $8,000 (Items 128 and 162).

Administrative Cost Allowance (ACA) and Administrative Budget: The administrative cost allowance is governed by Health and Safety Code (HSC) section 34171 (b). The Code provides for an ACA that is equal to up to 3% of the authorized RPTTF, excluding amounts for administrative costs and city loan repayments (the “adjusted RPTTF”), with a minimum ACA of $250,000 annually as long as the $250,000 does not equal more than 50% of the RPTTF distribution. The Code also provides that the ACA is subject to approval of the Oversight Board and that it may reduce the amount requested by a successor agency. DOF provides a methodology for the 3% calculation that uses the prior year’s adjusted RPTTF distribution. The 24-25 adjusted RPTTF for the National City Successor Agency is $3,718,528. When multiplied by 3%, it would result in an ACA for ROPS 25-26 of $111,556, which is below the minimum of $250,000, but still greater than needed. Based on staff’s analysis of estimated costs to operate the Successor Agency, ROPS 25-26 requests that $67,654 be included in this ROPS for the ACA.

The Administrative Budget, attached as Exhibit B, details the estimated administrative expenditures for the ROPS 25-26 period.

Report of Cash Balances: Each ROPS submittal includes a report regarding Successor Agency cash balances. The reporting period is for the three years prior to the upcoming ROPS period, so in the case of ROPS 25-26, the report covers the status of the Successor Agency’s cash as of the end of ROPS 22-23. The State Department of Finance reviews the Report of Cash Balances and in conjunction with City staff, makes a determination regarding how much of the cash balance is to be applied to the upcoming ROPS in lieu of new RPTTF monies. The Report of Cash Balances indicates an available total of $279,904 from a combination of Other Funds (interest earnings and loan repayments), and unspent RPTTF from ROPS 22-23.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT:

The projected amount of property taxes to be deposited by the County into the National City Successor Agency’s RPTTF account for ROPS 25-26 is $31.5 million. Of this amount, an estimated $7.3 million would be distributed as pass-through payments to the affected taxing entities (including the City) and to the County for administrative costs. The City’s share of the pass-through payments is expected to be approximately $816,000. Then, after applying $4.1 million to the expenditures for the items listed on ROPS 25-26, approximately $20.1 million would remain for distribution to the affected taxing entities as residual balance, of which the City of National City’s share would be approximately $3.6 million.

SUBJECT:

Request to Install Red Curb “No Parking” at the Intersection of Harbison Avenue and E. 6th Street to Improve Visibility at the Intersection.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution Entitled, "Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City, California, Authorizing the Installation of Red Curb “No Parking” at the Intersection of Harbison Avenue and E. 6th Street to Improve Visibility at the Intersection.” BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION:

On October 9, 2024, the Traffic Safety Committee unanimously approved the installation of red curb “No Parking” at the intersection of Harbison Avenue and E. 6th Street to enhance visibility at the intersection.

EXPLANATION:

Mrs. Pearl Quinones, a resident of 3009 E. 6th Street, has requested a red curb “No Parking” at the intersection of Harbison Avenue and E. 6th Street. This request aims to improve visibility and enhance safety for vehicles exiting from E. 6th Street onto Harbison Avenue.

Staff performed a site evaluation. Harbison Avenue is a two-way collector road with parking on both sides and posted speed limit of 30 mph. E. 6th Street is a two-way local road with parking on both sides and posted speed limit of 25 mph. During the site evaluation, staff confirmed the presence of a red curb “No Parking” at the fire hydrant located on the southeast corner of the intersection. Additionally, it is possible that visibility is impacted for some vehicles traveling eastbound as they exit E. 6th Street onto Harbison due to the electrical power poles located on the northwest and southwest corner of the intersection. Staff also confirmed that when vehicles park too close to the corners on Harbison Avenue at the intersection, the visibility for vehicles exiting E. 6th Street onto Harbison Avenue may be partially obstructed.

Staff reviewed the traffic collision history for this intersection, which confirmed that there have been no traffic collisions in the past four years.

Staff sent notices to the adjacent properties inviting them to the Traffic Safety Committee Meeting and/or to contact staff with any questions. No individuals were in attendance to speak on this item.

Staff presented this item to the Traffic Safety Committee on October 9, 2024. During the meeting, staff clarified that the proposed red curb "No Parking" zones are intended to be installed along Harbison Avenue to enhance visibility for vehicles exiting E. 6th Street, as shown in the attached Exhibit A.

After a thorough discussion, the Traffic Safety Committee voted unanimously to approve staff’s recommendation for the following traffic safety enhancements:

1. Install 26 feet of red curb “No Parking” on the west side of Harbison Avenue, north of E. 6th Street. This will result in the loss of one (1) on-street parking space;

2. Install 20 feet of red curb “No Parking” on the east side of Harbison Avenue, north of E. 6th Street. This will result in the loss of one (1) on-street parking space;

3. Install 20 feet of red curb “No Parking” on the west side of Harbison Avenue, south of E. 6th Street. This will result in the loss of one (1) on-street parking space;

4. Install 15 feet of red curb “No Parking” on the east side of Harbison Avenue, south of E. 6th Street. This will extend the existing 15 feet of red curb at the fire hydrant, making a total of 30 feet of red curb. This will result in the loss of one (1) on-street parking spaces.

If approved by the City Council, all work will be performed by City Public Works staff.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT:

The estimated cost for painting is approximately $200. It is City policy to perform this type of work in City streets. Funding is available within the Department of Engineering and Public Works, Streets & Wastewater Division from the Maintenance and Operations budget.

Mrs. Pearl Quinones, a resident of 3009 E. 6th Street has requested a red curb “No Parking” at the intersection of Harbison Avenue and E. 6th Street. This request aims to improve visibility and enhance safety for vehicles exiting from E. 6th Street onto Harbison Avenue.

Staff performed a site evaluation. Harbison Avenue is a two-way collector road with parking on both sides and posted speed limit of 30 mph. E. 6th Street is a two-way local road with parking on both sides and posted speed limit of 25 mph. During the site evaluation, staff confirmed the presence of a red curb “No Parking” at the fire hydrant located on the southeast corner of the intersection. Additionally, there are visibility issues for eastbound traffic exiting E. 6th Street onto Harbison due to the electrical power poles located on the northwest and southwest corner of the intersection.

1. Install 26 feet of red curb “No Parking” on the north side of E. 6th Street, west of Harbison Avenue. This will result in the loss of one (1) on-street parking space;

2. Install 20 feet of red curb “No Parking” on the north side of E. 6th Street, east of Harbison Avenue. This will result in the loss of one (1) on-street parking space;

Request To Install Two (2) Parallel “30-Minute” Parking Spaces in Front of V&P Wholesale Warehouse Located at 108 W. 18th Street to Increase Parking Turnover for Customers RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution entitled, “Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City, California, Authorizing the Installation of Two Parallel “30-Minute” Parking Spaces in Front of V&P Wholesale Warehouse Located at 108 W. 18th Street to Increase Parking Turnover for Customers.” BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION:

The Traffic Safety Committee unanimously approved staff’s recommendation for the installation of two green curb “30-MInute" parking spaces with signage in front of the business located at 108 W. 18th Street at the October 9, 2024 meeting.

EXPLANATION:

Mr. Francisco Garcia, owner of VP Resale Warehouse, located at 108 West 18th Street, has requested the installation of two limited parking spaces in front of the business. Mr. Francisco Garcia stated that the unrestricted parking spaces currently located in front of the property are frequently occupied by vehicles all day, and customers have trouble finding parking near his business. According to Mr. Garcia, the conversion from unrestricted parking to “30-minute” parking will provide customers ample time to shop at the business and increase parking turnover for customers.

Staff visited the site and confirmed that the retail warehouse is located on West 18th Street. West 18th Street is a 2-lane local roadway with parallel unrestricted parking on both sides of the street.

Staff confirmed that the commercial building where the business is located offers only one offstreet parking space for a disabled person, and the on-street parking is heavily impacted. Adjacent to the business, on W. 18th Street, there are approximately 33 feet, equal to one (1) parking space of unrestricted parking available east of the driveway located on the north side of the property facing W. 18th Street, and approximately 28 feet, equal to one (1) parking space of unrestricted parking available west of the said driveway.

Staff sent notification letters to the applicant, inviting Mr. Garcia to the Traffic Safety Committee Meeting and/or contact staff with any questions.

This item was presented to the Traffic Safety Committee on October 9, 2024. No individuals were in attendance to speak on this item.

Staff presented the results of the site evaluation to the Traffic Safety Committee, and after discussion, the Traffic Safety Committee voted to approve staff’s recommendation to install two

green curb “30-MInute" parking spaces with signage in front of the business located at 108 W. 18th Street.

It shall be noted that per National City Municipal Code Section 11.32.190 - Curb Markings, Green curb parking zones allow for stopping, standing or parking for no longer than fifteen or thirty minutes, as marked or signed. The parking restriction is valid any time between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. of any day except Sundays and holidays, unless otherwise indicated on posted signage.

If approved by City Council, all work will be performed by City Public Works staff.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT:

The cost to install the time-limited parking signage and curb markings will be borne by the City as it is the City’s policy to assume the cost of performing this type of work on public streets. Funding is available within the Engineering & Public Works Department, Streets & Wastewater Division’s Maintenance & Operations budget to provide this service.

AGENDA REPORT
Department: Planning
Prepared by: Martin Reeder, AICP – Asst. Director of Community Development Meeting Date: Tuesday, December 3, 2024
Approved by: Benjamin A. Martinez, City Manager
SUBJECT:

Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City Acknowledging Receipt of a California Coastal Commission Resolution of Certification of the City’s Local Coastal Plan Amendment Related to the Balanced Plan, Including Suggested Modifications.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt the Resolution
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION:

The City Council approved the Local Coastal Plan (LCP) Amendment in March of 2023. The California Coastal Commission certified the LCPA in August of 2024 with suggested modifications as discussed in the report.

EXPLANATION:

The Coastal Commission approved the City’s LCP amendment with suggested modifications that update the plan to provide clarity and affirmative language to ensure consistency with the Chapter 3 policies of the Coastal Act in regard to marine-dependent uses, public access and recreation, visual resources, and coastal hazards; add policies requiring lower cost options in new overnight accommodation developments or mitigation for new development that does not provide lower cost options, and replacement of future lower cost hotel rooms at a 1:1 ratio; incorporate revisions previously certified by the Commission in LCP amendment No. 1-98A and revisions proposed by the City following coordination with Commission staff.

Before the LCP amendment can become effectively certified, the Coastal Commission Executive Director must determine that implementation of the approved amendment will be consistent with the Commission’s certification order. This is necessary because the amendment was certified with suggested modifications. In order for the Executive Director to make this determination, the City Council must formally acknowledge receipt of the Commission’s resolution of certification, including any terms or suggested modifications, and take any formal action which is required to satisfy them, such as revised plan policies, rezoning, or other ordinance revisions.

This certification must also include production of new LCP text and figures demonstrating that the amendment (see Exhibit B), as approved by the Commission and accepted by the City, will be

incorporated into the City’s certified Local Coastal Program immediately upon concurrence by the Commission of the Executive Director’s determination.

Once this final step has been taken, work on Phase 2 of the LCP update (Implementation Plan) will commence, with an expected hearing date next summer.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT:

There is no budgetary impact at this time, but certification of the Coastal Commission action will help realize the potential of the amended LCP, which will have a positive impact in future years as development that the LCP permits moves forward.

4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

BACKGROUND
Public access, resource protection, and protection of maritime related industries in the Coastal Zone were significantly enhanced with the passage of the California Coastal Zone Conservation Act by the voters of California in November 1972. Subsequent required changes to the Act now include environmental justice and climate change as impacts to be mitigated. The City of National City and its Coastal Zone is an area where the community has long been impacted by toxic air pollutants that are largely attributed to maritime industrial-related operations. The community has had few opportunities to access the bay and yet is the most impacted by airborne pollutants. From 2007 to 2022 the Port of San Diego, the City of National City, the community, and Port tenants worked collectively to develop a balanced plan that would serve as the basis for creating enhanced public access and recreational opportunities while protecting maritime-related industries. In November 2022 the Port of San Diego certified the Balanced Plan Environmental Impact Report, which reflected several land use changes within the Port Master Plan. Because of that action the City is now amending the Local Coastal Plan portion of its Local Coastal Program (LCP) to reflect the approval of the Balanced Plan. The Balanced Plan Local Coastal Plan Amendment (LCPA) is the first phase of a multi-phased LCPA process which will update the entire LCP to reflect changes in the Coastal Act, update background information, and make necessary corrections throughout the document. The City intends to provide the California Coastal Commission (Commission) with a comprehensive LCP update, now estimated for fiscal year 2023/2024.

The City’s 2022 LCPA is in keeping with the declaration of the state legislature in adopting the Coastal Act of 1976 was that the Coastal Zone is a distinct and valuable resource of vital and enduring interest to all people. The basic objectives of the Coastal Act are to achieve the following:
"Protect, maintain, and where feasible, enhance and restore the overall quality of the Coastal Zone environment and its natural and man-made resources. "Assure orderly, balanced utilization and conservation of Coastal Zone resources taking into account the social and economic needs of the people of the state. "Maximize public access to and along the coast and maximize public recreational opportunities in the Coastal Zone consistent with sound resource conservation principles and constitutionally protected rights of private property owners. "Assure priority for coastal-dependent and coastal related development over other development on the coast. (Amended by Cal. Stats. 1979, Ch. 1090) "Encourage state and local initiatives and cooperation in preparing procedures to implement coordinated planning and development of mutually beneficial uses, including educational uses, in the Coastal Zone.”
In 2015 the Commission adopted a Sea Level Rise policy that considers new development applications that may be adversely impacted from the effects of climate change. Unlike many

5 coastal cities, National City does not have many residential properties within its Coastal Zone jurisdiction. Most of the area is zoned Medium Manufacturing, which does not permit new residential construction Accordingly, methods and mitigation measures that would typically include retreat policies, development exclusion zones, and minimizing the armoring of the coastline have little application to the City. However, areas that are near the Sweetwater Marsh, that have not been previously developed, maybe required to increase the elevations of any new building or other appropriate mitigation measures described in the Balanced Plan Final Environmental Impact Report of 2022.

In 2019 the Coastal Commission adopted an Environmental Justice Policy that recognizes that marginalized populations have been subjected to discriminatory land use practices that have precluded access to affordable recreational assets along the coastline. These communities have also been disproportionately impacted by pollution. The City of National City is an environmental justice community with its residents long subjected to toxic air pollutants from Port operations and a lack of access to lower cost recreational facilities along the bay. In large part, the Balanced Plan project is directed at expanded access to the bay, providing affordable recreational amenities, and creating well-paying jobs. While there is much work to be done, the Balanced Plan provides the framework addressing the goals of the Commission’s Environmental Justice Policy.

The implementation of the Coastal Act is predicated upon the involvement of local government.

The Act declares that "to achieve maximum responsiveness to local conditions, accountability and public accessibility, it is necessary to rely heavily on local government and local land use planning procedures and enforcement." To this end, the Act directs each local government within the coastal zone to prepare a Local Coastal Program (LCP). An LCP consists of a local government’s land use plans, zoning ordinances, zoning district maps, and implementing actions which implement the provisions and policies of the Coastal Act at the local level.

During preparation of a Local Coastal program, local governments should coordinate planning with affected local, regional, state, and federal agencies, and provide the maximum opportunity for public participation. Under the Coastal Act, the responsibility for ensuring meaningful public participation rests with both the Coastal Commission and local government; however, the local government retains the primary responsibility for involving the public in the actual planning process.

After the LCP has been reviewed and approved by the local government, it is then submitted to the State Coastal Commission for review. In certifying the land use plan, the Commission must find that the plan conforms to Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act, and contains the required public access component. The zoning and implementing ordinances are then reviewed to determine conformance with the approved land use plan. Once the land use plan and implementing ordinances have been certified, the review authority for new development within the Coastal Zone will revert from the Coastal Commission to local government. The local government in issuing coastal development permits must then make the finding that the development is in conformity with the approved LCP.

The Coastal Zone of National City includes all the area west of I-5, and a small area east of I-5 south of 30th Street. However, the Coastal Zone is controlled by three separate governmental agencies: the San Diego Unified Port District, the United States Navy, and the City of National

6 City. The Port District has jurisdiction over all of the state tidelands bayward of the adjudicated mean high tide line, approximately 250 acres of land area and any property acquired by the Port and approved by the State Lands Commission (See Figure 1). The Port District's jurisdiction also includes an isolated parcel of tidelands which is located in the salt flats south of Chula Vista that is connected to National City by a 300-foot wide corridor through San Diego Bay. The Port District submitted its Master Plan to the Coastal Commission and it was conditionally approved in October, 1980. The plan has been amended several times since then. Under the jurisdiction of the United States Navy is approximately 300 acres and 8,300 lineal feet of bay frontage. Federal lands are under the jurisdiction of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act, which states that military lands shall comply with coastal planning to the extent that national security is not imperiled. The Coastal Zone area over which National City retains jurisdiction totals approximately 575 acres, and is bounded by the U.S. Navy lands to the north, and the Chula Vista Bayfront to the south.

The purpose of the Land Use Plan of National City's LCP is to provide technical background information, policy recommendations, and a land use plan map (See Figure 2). The substantive areas of discussion, as directed by the work program approved by the Coastal Commission, are public access, recreation, marsh preservation, visual resources, industrial development, and environmental hazards. The City’s LCP is now revised to include a new section of a plan prepared in conjunction with the San Diego Unified Port District (District) referred herein as the Balanced Plan. The Balanced Plan preserves all applicable HDSAP public access and resource protection policies. Each of the above issue areas is discussed and evaluated as to existing conditions and existing planning and zoning regulations. This discussion is then followed by a more in-depth analysis of planning issues and their applicability to Coastal Act policies and Coastal Commission guidelines. Each discussion category is concluded with appropriate policy recommendations.

A listing of those recommendations is presented in the “POLICY RECOMMENDATION” at the end of each chapter.

9 THE BALANCED PLAN

OVERVIEW
The City of National City (City), in conjunction with the San Diego Unified Port District (District), GB Capital Holdings (GB Capital), District tenants, and Pasha Automotive Services (Pasha) have been working together to propose a mixed-use recreational and maritime industrial project that includes both landside and waterside development components on approximately 58 landside acres and 19 waterside acres in the City’s waterfront area. This project is collectively referred to as the “Balanced Plan” and is intended to be mutually beneficial to the region. It is geographically located within the jurisdictional boundaries of the City and the District.

Specifically, the Balanced Plan includes the following main components within the City’s jurisdiction, which are addressed in detail later in this section:
 Amendments to the City’s LCP, General Plan, and Land Use Code (LUC), that would include changes to the City’s and District’s jurisdictional boundaries due to District land purchases; changes to subarea boundaries; and changes to land use, specific plan, and zone designations
 Removal of approximately 12.4 acres within the Balanced Plan area, located mostly on the GB Capital site east of the mean high tide line and owned in fee by the District, from the City’s General Plan, LCP, and LUC to reflect changes in land use and jurisdictional authority.
 Construction and operation of a new segment of the Bayshore Bikeway The Balanced Plan also includes a number of development components located within the jurisdiction of the District which are integral to the overall development of the waterfront and marina area. However, as a function of State law under the Unified Port District Act (“Act”) the City has no land use authority over lands acquired by the District and as a result are no longer addressed in the City’s LCP. Per the requirements of the Act and the California Coastal Act, all District development components are addressed in the District’s Port Master Plan Amendment.

Changes within the District’s jurisdiction include the following and are presented for informational purposes:
 Changes to land and water use designations in the District’s Port Master Plan (PMP).  Construction and operation of a recreational vehicle (RV) park, modular cabins, dry boat storage, an expanded marina, and up to four hotels, primarily within the District’s jurisdiction within lands leased to GB Capital.
 The expansion of Pepper Park from 5.2 acres to 7.7 acres to increase park space and recreational opportunities for the community.
 Construction and operation of a rail connector track and storage track within the District’s jurisdiction to serve the Pasha Group’s maritime operations at the National City Marine Terminal.
 Closure of Tidelands Avenue between Bay Marina Drive and 32nd Street, as well as West

10 28th Street between Tidelands Avenue and Quay Avenue, within the District’s and City’s jurisdictions, and re-designation of the area to Marine-Related Industrial in the District’s PMP.
 Construction and operation of Segment 5 of the Bayshore Bikeway within the District’s jurisdiction in coordination with the bikeway sections located in the City’s jurisdiction.  Construction and operation of hotel, restaurant, retail, and/or a combination of tourist/visitor serving commercial development north of Bay Marina Drive  PMP Amendment (PMPA) to clarify jurisdictional land use authority, re-designate land uses, and balance commercial and maritime uses.

HARBOR DISTRICT SPECIFIC AREA PLAN (HDSAP)
The HDSAP was adopted by the City Council on July 28, 1998 and was certified by California Coastal Commission November 5, 1998. At that time, the HDSAP was intended to be a resourcebased, environmental implementation plan to establish site-specific conservation and development standards in the OSR (Open Space Reserve), CT (Tourist Commercial), MM (Medium Manufacturing), and OS (Open Space) districts. No land use changes or specific development were included, however. Since 1998, the HDSAP has been implemented and no longer relevant given the changes in jurisdictional boundaries between the District and the City and, hence, the HDSAP will be replaced by the Balance Plan in the following manner:
 The Balanced Plan includes the removal of approximately 12.4 acres located mostly on the GB Capital site east of the mean high tide line and owned in fee by the District (Subareas B-1 and B-2). Because this land is no longer in the City’s jurisdiction, it is eliminated from the City’s General Plan, LCP, and LUC to reflect changes jurisdictional authority.  HDSAP Subarea A, approximately 8.3 acres, has already been developed with the Marina Gateway project, consistent with the HDSAP.
 HDSAP Subarea B-3 is being utilized as a buffer to the Paradise Marsh, public access, the Bayshore Bikeway, and for utility corridor, including SDG&E transmission towers.

Additionally, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has an easement providing access to the Paradise Marsh and the D Street Fill, located just south of the site.  HDSAP Subarea C proposed the Harrison Avenue Public Access Corridor which has been completed.
 HDSAP Subarea D, a 3,500-foot-long segment of filled land, which lies between the I-5 freeway and the Paradise Marsh, has been restored with native landscaping, consistent with the HDSAP.
 The Paradise Marsh unit of the Sweetwater Marsh National Wildlife Refuge is federally owned, operated, and managed and is no longer under National City Coastal Development authority.

11  In 2008, Pier 32 Marina, entirely located within the District’s jurisdiction, opened to the public and provided increased public access and public views to the water, consistent with the HDSAP.

Because the HDASP was adopted as a City specific plan certified by the Coastal Commission separately from the City’s LCP, the City must embark on a subsequent planning process to implement changes to the HDASP. As part of the three-phased LCP update process agreed to by the Commission it is the City’s intent to incorporate applicable HDSAP coastal policies into the LUP and Implementation Plan as part of implementation of the Balanced Plan LCPA. This process would require future Coastal Commission certification.

BALANCED PLAN-CITY PROGRAM
Land Use Changes
The City Program is an integral component of the overall Balanced Plan. Development on the Balanced Plan City Program would not be subject to the Public Trust, but it would be within the California Coastal Zone and the City's LCP area. As previously discussed, the City Program would require amendments to the City's General Plan, LUC, and LCP. The general components of the Balanced Plan are shown in Figure 3. Balanced Plan components that are within the jurisdiction of the Port District are show for illustrative purposes only.

Because the Harbor District Area Specific Plan (HDSAP) is the certified Implementation Plan for a large portion of the land that is subject to the Balanced Plan, the City’s general Implementation Plan (IP) will need to be updated to include the relevant policies from the HDASP at a future date.

This is due to the fact that much of the HDSAP has been implemented and no longer relevant in addition to the changes in jurisdictional boundaries between the District and the City.

The City Program proposes amendments to the City's General Plan, LCP, and LUC for five Cityowned parcels located north of Bay Marina Drive, which will be done as part of a future phase of the LCP update process. See Figure 4. Parcels 1 through 6 are owned by the City and compose two complete blocks between Bay Marina Drive to the south, West 23rd Street to the north, Marina Way (formerly Harrison Avenue) to the west, and I-5 to the east. The City proposes to rezone Parcels 1, 2, 3, 5 ,and 6 from MM (Medium Industrial) to CT which could allow these parcels to be developed with hotel, restaurant, retail, and/or some combination of tourist-/visitor-serving commercial uses. The CT zone currently allows a floor area ratio (FAR) of up to 1.0, with no height limit; however, as part of the Balanced Plan, the FAR will increase to 2.0. The maximum allowable development with a FAR of 2.0 would be approximately 254,782 square feet of floor area. The proposed 2.0 FAR would allow for the development of desired land uses that require substantial floor areas such as hotels which would be of economic benefit to the City and provide opportunities for increased public access to the City’s marina area. All applicable Coastal Act standards for viewsheds, public access, and resource protection will be incorporated into the implementation of these land use changes. Development standards such as the parking requirement and landscaping would be based on the specific uses permitted in the CT zone at such time as future development is proposed.

12 Additionally, there are two easements along the wetlands; one is owned by SDG&E and the other provides access to the US Fish and Wildlife Service Refuge and is operated by the Service. These easements are located directly east of the Pier 32 Marina and across the Sweetwater Channel and terminating at the wildlife refuge. With the removal of the South Bay Power Plant in Chula Vista, the SDG&E easement area may provide additional recreation opportunities under and enhance opportunities to meet the goals of the Balanced Plan. This area could serve as parking or overnight accommodations or other development that would enhance the marina environment. Such uses would be required, as part of the CEQA environmental review process, to fully mitigate any biological impacts to adjoining habitats or to protect other coastal resources.

The remaining Parcels 4 and 7 are currently zoned CT and will remain so. Parcel 7 (approximately

1.2 acres), owned by the City and leased to the San Diego Railway Association, is at the northwest corner of Bay Marina Drive and Marina Way. The historic Santa Fe Rail Depot is on this parcel, and no new development is proposed on this parcel. No other City land use changes or development are currently proposed as part of the Balanced Plan.

Coastal Resources and Environmental Protection
It is the City’s policy that all development within its Coastal Zone fully comply with all applicable Coastal Act and LCP policies. With respect to the Balanced Plan, the City shall further ensure that all future development within the Balanced Plan comply with all applicable mitigation measures as identified in the Port District’s Balanced Plan Environmental Impact Report as certified by the Port District’s Board of Port Commissioners on November 16, 2022 and as adopted by the National City City Council on April 4, 2023. These mitigation measures address the following array of potential environmental effects:
 Aesthetics and Visual Resources
 Air Quality and Health Risk
 Biological Resources
 Cultural Resources
 Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Climate Change
 Hazards and Hazardous Materials
 Land Use and Planning
 Utilities and Service Systems
The mitigation measures for these effects are described in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) which was approved by the National City City Council via Resolution No. 2023-33 on April 4, 2023. The MMRP is incorporated by reference into this LCP. All mitigations described therein which are applicable to the City’s portion of the Balanced Plan will be included in the Balanced Plan project review and approval process for changes made to the project(s), or conditions of approval, which will be adopted in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment and to monitor performance of the mitigation measures. These mitigation measures will further complement the project compliance with applicable Coastal Act and LCP policies.

13 City/District Jurisdictional Changes
The Balanced Plan proposes the removal of approximately 12.4 acres within the Balanced Plan area, located mostly on the current day GB Capital leasehold east of the mean high tide line and on land now owned in fee by the District, from the City’s General Plan, LCP, and LUC to reflect changes in land use and jurisdictional authority. This change will clarify the jurisdictional boundary between the City and the District and will be reflected on all City zoning and General Plan Maps. These lands are not currently regulated by the PMP and this jurisdictional amendment will ensure consistency with the California Coastal Act, Public Trust Doctrine, and Act. The District will amend its PMP map accordingly.

Bayshore Bikeway
As a major goal of the City’s original LCP submission, the Bayshore Bikeway is now being realized. The Bayshore Bikeway Segment 5 is generally located on a combination of existing roadways, including Bay Marina Drive, Marina Way (formerly Harrison Avenue), Cleveland Avenue, McKinley Avenue, West 19th Street, Tidelands Avenue, West 14th Street, and Civic Center Drive. Most of the Bayshore Bikeway Component is located within the City’s jurisdiction, and the southernmost portion is located within District jurisdiction. This new section of the Bayshore Bikeway is an important component of the 24-mile Bayshore Bikeway that circumnavigates San Diego Bay.

PUBLIC ACCESS

1. New public shoreline accessways shall be designated to and along Paradise Marsh and the Sweetwater River Channel as generally shown in Figure 5.

2. Public accessways to or near the water shall be provided in conjunction with new development and protected through public access easements or other suitable means of conveyance.

3. In the event that new development is not forthcoming, it is the City’s policy to seek the assistance of the Coastal Conservancy, or other appropriate agency, to acquire, plan, and finance public shoreline access.

4. The precise location, design and identification of public accessways shall be consistent, to the maximum degree feasible, with the coastal access standards prepared jointly by the Coastal Commission and the Coastal Conservancy.

5. As indicated in the General Plan, it is the City’s policy that the Bay Route Bikeway (now the Bayshore Bikeway) be extended southerly from Bay Marina Drive and Harrison Avenue to the Paradise Marsh and boat launching ramp areas and across Sweetwater River Channel to the Chula Vista Bayfront. It is also the City’s policy that additional nature trails and bicycle trails be developed adjacent to the Paradise Marsh to connect to the Bay Route Bikeway and Sweetwater River Flood Control Channel Trail System.

6. Alternative modes of access to National City’s Bayfront shall be actively encouraged.

Specifically, the trail systems proposed as a part of the Army Corps’ Sweetwater River Flood Control Channel project, which would provide linkage from National City’s Bayfront to inland areas, are supported.

7. All new development shall incorporate adequate on-site parking to accommodate the parking demand generated. The number of required parking spaces for new development shall be determined during the implementation phase of the Local Coastal Program, but shall be, at a minimum, consistent with the schedule of parking requirements of the Municipal Code (Appendix III).

8. Marina Way, a new access road formerly known as Harrison Avenue, located westerly and parallel to the Paradise Marsh extends southerly from the vicinity of Bay Marina Drive to the National City Boat Launching Facilities and Pier 32 Marina, which includes a variety of commercial and recreational uses. A buffer shall be maintained between the roadway and the marsh. The Balanced Plan identifies continued buffering between the marsh and roadway, located in the upland area west of Paradise Marsh. It also proposes landscaping or other design elements to provide visual linkage and identity for the Paradise Marsh area and appropriate visual separation from the industrial area to the west and freeway to the east.

17 9. New development shall not interfere with desirable public access that may exist or be established by public use on or across private property, i.e. prescriptive rights. Desirable public access shall include access to natural or constructed coastal, recreational resources, except where necessary to protect fragile coastal resources or public safety, or where adequately provided for in another area. Development projects shall be reviewed to determine evidence of public use. The proposed Balanced Plan, in conjunction with the Port of San Diego, would also increase the availability of lower costs visitor serving uses and allow greater public access to the waterfront. Implementation of the Balanced Plan would provide new opportunities to experience views of the Bay and Sweetwater Channel from the expansion of Pepper Park, and new hotels, a recreational vehicle park, and modular cabins. These land use changes provide lower cost recreational opportunities for the community and members of the nearby region that have been historically underserved.

10. Public access shall include access to natural or constructed coastal recreational resources, except where necessary to protect fragile coastal resources or public safety, or where adequately provided for in another area.

11. New development shall not interfere with desirable public access that may exist or be established by public use on or across private property, i.e. prescriptive rights. Desirable public access shall include access to natural or constructed coastal, recreational resources, except where necessary to protect fragile coastal resources or public safety, or where adequately provided for in another area. Development projects shall be reviewed to determine evidence of public use.

19 RECREATION

1. The National City Bayfront shall be designated for tourist commercial and recreational use, as indicated in the Land Use Plan (Figure 2). The areas to the west and to the north of the Marsh shall be designated for tourist commercial and recreational uses. Wetland resources located west of the railroad, which are not proposed for public acquisition, shall be protected from incompatible development, consistent with marsh preservation policies.

2. The passive recreational area would accommodate the preservation of Paradise Marsh, along with the provision of public accessways and landscaped areas. Public access would be provided and managed consistent with the public access component of the LCP and the maintenance of wetland resource values. Beyond this area, a transition to more active uses could begin. Landscaped areas suitable for picnicking and general recreation may be appropriate.

3. In order to meet specific recreational market demand and provide an attraction for secondary uses, overnight uses and boating uses shall be assigned the highest commercial development priority for the commercial recreational areas. For the area west of Paradise Marsh, appropriate uses include expanded marina development, new hotel and restaurant facilities, recreational vehicle park/campground, dry-storage and boat service facility, and/or public park areas. For the area north of Paradise marsh, hotel/motel facilities, restaurants and other tourist commercial uses would be appropriate. The intensity of development shall be reviewed for impacts on traffic circulation. A Specific Plan shall be prepared to address traffic circulation and roadway improvements, in conjunction with development plans for the tourist commercial area west of Paradise Marsh. The Specific Plan shall determine the location of roadway improvements, based on resource protection standards, i.e., consistency with marsh preservation policies.

Tourist commercial development in the above-referenced areas shall be consistent with existing or currently planned road capacities to the north and south of the proposed tourist commercial area. The intensity of development shall also be reflective of the constraints placed on these roadways by the Marsh Preservation policies of the LCP.

4. In order to develop the visitor commercial and recreational area west of Paradise Marsh coordination with the Port District for concurrent development of Port District lands shall continue to be encouraged while environmental justice impacts are mitigated. A higher quality project and a better design should result from such coordination and a more viable development will likely be attracted to the area.

5. Paradise Marsh has been acquired by the United States of America and is managed as a National Wildlife Refuge unit by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. To enhance the environmentally sustainable recreational potential and attractiveness of the National City waterfront, the restoration and management of paradise March for high-quality endangered species, habitat, and associated wetland values is a desirable program. A feasible restoration plan is the province of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, whose coordination

20 and cooperation with the city and other interested agencies, persons, and organizations is cordially invited.

6. To ensure that the recreational potential of the area is maximized, development shall take into account the proximity to the MTS Trolley System, the Bayshore Bikeway, and the Sweetwater River Flood Control Channel’s recreational areas and trails systems, as well as recreational uses planned in the adjacent Chula Vista Bayfront and other waterfront development along the San Diego Bay.

7. Coastal Act Section 30213, states: Lower cost visitor and recreational facilities shall be protected, encouraged, and, where feasible, provided. Developments providing public recreational opportunities are preferred. The commission shall not: (1) require that overnight room rentals be fixed at an amount certain for any privately owned and operated hotel, motel, or other similar visitor-serving facility located on either public or private lands; or (2) establish or approve any method for the identification of low or moderate income persons for the purpose of determining eligibility for overnight room rentals in any such facilities.

National City does not have any parks or waterside amenities, such as public fishing piers or launch areas for motorized and non-motorized watercraft, within its coastal jurisdiction.

Those aforementioned waterside features are all present and available to the public within the adjacent Port District’s jurisdiction and the City intends to provide equitable opportunity to access these waterside features.

National City is a disadvantaged and low-income community as identified by the California Environmental Protection Agency. Approximately 20% of the City’s residents are below the federal poverty level and approximately 45% of its residents are in economic hardship.

National City is one of the lowest income cities in the Coastal Zone in Southern California, if not the lowest. The area of National City west of Interstate 5, which includes the Coastal Zone, has also been impacted by the pollution and environmental impacts associated with the adjacent industrial marine terminal, adjacent military operations, and Interstate 5 freeway impacts.

Considering this situation, and as previously described, the premise of the Balanced Plan was to formulate a collaborative City/Port plan that would serve as the basis for creating enhanced public access as well as visitor-serving and recreational opportunities while protecting coastal resources and maritime-related industries. The implementation of this Plan would help set in motion the Port and City’s efforts to improve the waterfront area with park expansion, infrastructure improvements, enhanced boating opportunities, and economic drivers that would help generate momentum to invest in the Coastal Zone and adjacent City areas west of Interstate 5. It is this type of investment that is needed to help generate much needed revenues that would support the City’s efforts to improve and change the community.

As part of the Balanced Plan, the City intends to provide new visitor-serving accommodation opportunities within the Coastal Zone, which includes the Successor Agency’s parcels located north of Bay Marina Drive, west of Interstate 5 and south of West

21 23rd Street as described in the Balanced Plan section of this LCP. Consistent with the Coastal Act, it is the City’s policy to encourage the development of opportunities for a variety of visitors to access, recreate, and stay overnight in the National City waterfront.

Development permittees are encouraged to provide a variety of lower cost visitor and recreational facilities to improve coastal access where feasible.

Lower-cost visitor accommodations will be facilitated by protecting, encouraging, and where feasible, providing such lower-cost overnight accommodations. Specifically:
a) New hotel and motel development within the City’s Coastal Zone shall provide a range of room types and sizes in order to serve a variety of income ranges. b) An inventory of 150 new higher-cost overnight accommodation units may be constructed in the City’s Coastal Zone without accompanying lower cost requirements identified in this Policy, subdivision (c) provided that the City preserves at least 184 rooms (50% of inventory) of the existing (as of 2024) 368 lower-cost visitor accommodation units within 0.5 miles to the Coastal Zone. In order to verify compliance with this policy, the City shall report the inventory of such lower-cost accommodation units to the Executive Director of the Coastal Commission prior to the approval of the 150 new higher-cost accommodation units. c) If and when that inventory of 150 higher-cost units in this Policy, subdivision (b), is met, thereafter all new or remodeled higher-cost visitor-serving accommodations in the Coastal Zone shall be required to provide 25% of the new or remodeled higher-cost rooms as lower-cost visitor-serving accommodations. These accommodations may be provided through:
 Construction of new lower-cost units onsite or offsite within the City’s Coastal Zone;
 Conversion of existing higher-cost or moderate-cost overnight accommodation units to lower-cost overnight accommodation units; or
 Contribution to an in-lieu fee program, only where the construction of new lower-cost units or conversion of existing units to lower-cost is determined to be infeasible pursuant to a feasibility analysis.
d) An in-lieu mitigation fee shall be based on approximate construction costs per room, adjusted for inflation using a building cost index such as the California Construction Cost Index, as applicable, plus land cost by square footage, shall be required. Construction costs shall be based on approximate hard and soft costs of building at least 25% of the proposed units as lower-cost accommodations on-site or shall be based on a comparable per-room construction cost estimate. Land cost calculations shall be based on the average square-footage of commercial land sales in the City over the past five years based on a certified appraisal.

22  The fee shall be used for construction of new lower-cost hotel rooms or other inherently lower-cost accommodations (e.g., motels, hostels, campgrounds, cabins) within the Coastal Zone in the City.
 All in-lieu fee payments shall be deposited into an interest-bearing account, to be established and managed by the State Coastal Conservancy, or a similar entity approved by the permitting authority.
 Funds may be used for activities including land acquisition, construction, permitting, or renovation that will result in the provision of additional lowercost overnight visitor accommodations.  If any portion of the in-lieu fee remains five years after the date of deposit into the interest-bearing account, the funds may be used to provide lower-cost overnight accommodations outside of the City, within the San Diego County Coastal Zone.
e) Lower-cost overnight accommodations in the Coastal Zone shall not be removed or converted unless replaced at a 1:1 ratio with units comparable in function, amenities, location, and cost to the public.

Lower-cost overnight accommodations are defined as overnight accommodations with an annual average daily room rate (ADR) equal to or less than 75% of the annual statewide ADR; high-cost overnight accommodations are defined as overnight accommodations with an annual ADR equal to or greater than 125% of the annual statewide ADR; and moderate-cost overnight accommodations are defined as overnight accommodations with an annual ADR between 75% and 125% of the annual statewide ADR.

8. In lieu of providing lower-cost overnight accommodations, the construction of the 150 new high-cost hotel rooms detailed in Policy 7(b) shall include a Community Benefits Program that provides lower-cost coastal access opportunities as conditions of approval for the requisite coastal development permit. The Community Benefits Program shall be reviewed and approved by the City and shall include, at minimum:
 A description of all community benefits and a process to add to the list of community benefits.
 Identification of all reviews, permits, and approvals that may be needed to implement these community benefits.
 A proposed schedule to complete implementation, which shall ensure community benefits are provided prior to or concurrent with the operation of the hotel(s).  Targeted marketing and outreach strategies to ensure the benefits are reaching and prioritizing National City residents in an equitable manner.

23  A monitoring plan.
 Annual report to the City identifying community benefits and evidence of the services provided.

To develop the Community Benefit Program, the developer will provide a Community Engagement Plan for review and approval by the City that describes how the developer will provide opportunities for National City community members to identify public access priorities and projects for the benefit of National City residents. The Community Engagement Plan shall:
 Describe a community engagement strategy using community-centered and culturally relevant engagement and outreach methods (e.g., communication with multiple forms of media and in relevant languages, partnerships with local organizations, various methods to participate, such as in person meetings, online options, mail-in surveys, etc.) Materials developed to implement the Plan shall be provided in plain language to prevent cultural or educational barriers from preventing or reducing public participation.
 Include a schedule and agendas for at least three community workshops within the City to allow community input on preferred community benefits, if these community workshops have not been previously conducted by the City. Workshops shall be noticed at least one month in advance and shall include services to ensure maximum participation, such as free parking, childcare options, refreshments, translation services, and others. Upon City approval of the Plan, it shall be implemented in order to prepare a Community Benefits Program based on preferences expressed in the Community Engagement Plan.

MARSH PRESERVATION

1. The wetlands of the Paradise Creek Marsh complex, including the secondary area of Paradise Marsh, east of I-5 Bannister Marsh), salt marsh, freshwater marsh, salt-pan, channel, and mudflat habitats, are valuable and sensitive biological resources, and shall be preserved through coordinated actions by the City and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, which manages Paradise Marsh for the United States of America. The plan shall be OPEN SPACE/WETLAND PRESERVE. The boundaries of the “Open Space Wetland Preserve” areas include marsh area within Caltrans right-of-way easterly of the SDG&E right-of-way and Bannister Marsh, and the secondary area of Paradise Marsh east of the I5 freeway. The Sweetwater River area, south of 35th Street, designated for industrial and commercial use, and the wetlands located west of the railroad, which are not proposed for public acquisition, also contain valuable biological resources which shall be preserved under an overlay zone or other appropriate, implementing regulation which shall be defined in the implementation plan. The overlay zone or implementing regulation shall include requirements for mapping all wetlands not included in the “Open Space Wetland Reserve” land use designation, execution of open space easements over identified resources and their buffers in conjunction with new development and a determination of appropriate buffers for any new development.

24 2. In order to preserve Paradise Marsh, the wetlands located west of the former railroad rightof-way, including the proposed Bayshore Bikeway Segment 5, which are not proposed for public acquisition; the secondary area of Paradise Marsh, east of I-5; and the Sweetwater River south of 35th Street shall adhere to the following:
 Alteration shall be limited to minor incidental public facilities, restoration measures, and nature study. Consistent with the provisions of Section 30233, the diking, dredging and filling of wetlands, open waters, estuaries and lakes shall be permitted only where there is no feasible less environmentally damaging alternative, and where feasible mitigation measures have been provided to minimize adverse environmental effects, and shall be limited to the following: incidental public service purposes, restoration purposes, and nature study. There shall be no alteration of Paradise Marsh, the wetlands located west of the railroad which are not proposed for public acquisition, as well as of the secondary area of Paradise Marsh, east of I-5, and the Sweetwater River south of 35th Street, except as determined by a marsh restoration program which has been approved by the California Coastal Commission.
 The dumping of rubbish or commercial waste into the marsh areas shall be prohibited.  The intrusion of off-road vehicles and unauthorized pedestrian traffic into the marsh areas shall be discouraged.
 A buffer area shall be established for new development adjacent to wetlands. A 100 ft. distance from the edge of the wetland shall generally provide an acceptable buffer acceptable to the state and federal agencies. The required distance may be increased or decreased based on consultation with the Department of Fish and Game. A buffer area less than 100 feet wide may be permitted, depending upon the analysis of the specific site proposed for development. Examples which may demonstrate that a lesser distance would be acceptable include but are not limited to the type and size of development, proposed buffer improvements such as landscaping or fencing, and existing site characteristics such as a grade differential between a marsh area and adjacent upland area, existing development in the area, and parcel size and configuration. Consistency with buffers required as part of the Sweetwater River Channel/Rt. 54 project shall also be considered in order to determine appropriate buffers less than 100 feet wide. The buffers shall be determined with the concurrence of the state Department of Fish and Game.

3. To enhance the habitat and aesthetic value of Paradise Marsh transitional and high-tide refuge areas located within the City’s jurisdiction, the wetlands located west of the railroad, which are not proposed for federal acquisition, as well as Bannister Marsh and the Sweetwater River south of 35th Street, feasible restoration activities shall be encouraged.

Feasible restoration activities shall be determined with the potential assistance of the State Coastal Conservancy, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, California Department of Fish and Game, or other public agency or private group, including the Bayfront Conservancy Trust, to finance, plan, implement and manage a restoration program. The recommended elements for a restoration program include:

25  A public access and information program that would be designed to allow observation of the marsh, while controlling intrusion into the marsh itself. A component of the access program should be an interpretive nature trail along the western margins of Paradise Marsh, which could connect with an observation platform.  The removal of all rubbish and debris from the marsh through a volunteer effort, or the California Conservation Corps.
 The dredging of Paradise Marsh, consistent with a marsh restoration program, prepared in consultation with the California Department of Fish and Game and approved by the California Coastal Commission, possibly concurrent with the construction of the Sweetwater River Flood Control Channel, to improve tidal flow and flushing.

Dredging shall be restricted to existing tidal channels.  The encouragement of a scientific research and educational program.

4. Wetlands in private ownership, which may be located in the CT, C and M, as well as OSR designated areas, shall be protected from development through the application of mitigation measures that include, but not be limited to, buffer zones; shielding of lights; barriers; educational signage; predator control measures; and run-off protection features.

5. Landscaping in areas adjacent to wetlands shall include only native plants which are noninvasive species. For all properties that have wetland features, each project shall incorporate BMP erosion control measures and shall be in place during all construction activities, biological monitoring and planning, and control of run-off during all grading activities along Marina Way.

7. For all properties that have wetland features and for all projects that drain into Paradise and Bannister Marshes, each project shall incorporate BMP erosion control measures, which shall be in place during all construction activities. Specific erosion control measures related to biological monitoring and planning, and control of run-off during all grading activities shall be approved, incorporated into development, be in place at the initial phase of work, monitored and maintained in conjunction with all grading activities, along Marina Way.

VISUAL RESOURCES

1. To ensure that the development of the proposed commercial and recreational area adjacent to Paradise Marsh is of the highest aesthetic quality, the City shall require that the development of the site shall be in accordance with development standards and requirements to be determined by a Specific Plan for the area. The Specific Plan shall determine appropriate height limits, landscape elements, signage, and view protection and enhancement, consistent with the policies of the Land Use Plan. Vistas shall be provided from public roadways and public open space areas to Paradise Marsh and the Sweetwater River Flood Control Channel. Height limits shall be established as determined necessary to provide for focal points in key activity areas.

26 2. To ensure that the new road to provide access to the proposed recreation area adjacent to Paradise Marsh is of high visual quality, its design shall implement and incorporate the General Plan policy proposing the construction of landscaped entryways from Bay Marina Drive. Bay.

3. To ensure that new development throughout the Coastal Zone is visually appropriate, projects shall be reviewed for conformance to City standards for building aesthetics and materials, height, signing and landscaping.

4. A Specific Plan shall be prepared to identify design improvements to enhance the visual identity of the Paradise Marsh area, provide a visual linkage between recreational uses near the Sweetwater River Channel and tourist commercial uses west of the Marsh and at 24th Street, and appropriate visual separation or buffering of industrial uses to the west and freeway to the east. The design improvements identified in the Specific Plan shall include landscape elements, signage, and architectural elements or criteria, such as height, scale, bulk, color, and building materials.

Protection or creation of vistas should also be identified in the Specific Plan.

5. Project design shall also be reviewed with regard to other appropriate visual elements identified throughout the development review process.

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT

1. In the event that different industrial land uses are competing for available industrial land, priority shall be given first to marine related industrial uses and then to marine-related industrial uses.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

1. Section 30253(a) of the Coastal Act requires that new development minimize risks in areas of high geologic, flood and fire hazard.

2. Review of new development for sea level rise, flooding, seismic, and geologic hazards shall determine necessary improvements to minimize risk during the site plan review process, or during any applicable, discretionary review process.

3. Geotechnical and sea level rise reports shall be required for new development in areas subject to flooding and geologic hazards.

4.. Waivers of liability shall be required from applicants for Coastal Development Permits in areas of sea level rise and geologic hazards.

5.. Prior to the development of the parcels on both sides of the existing Sweetwater River Channel, south of 35th Street, a sea level rise and flood hazard study shall be conducted, based upon design criteria anticipating the potential flood hazard remaining after the

27 construction of the Sweetwater River Flood Control Channel or from a 100-year flood, whichever is applicable at the time of development. Specific development policies shall be provided in the Implementation Plan. The policies shall stress provision of adequate setbacks to minimize the amount of fill necessary for flood protection, and no armoring or channelization of the existing river channel for flood protection shall be allowed.

LAND USE PLAN SUMMARY

COMMERCIAL/RECREATION/OPEN SPACE
The National City Bayfront should be designated for tourist commercial, recreational and open space use. Using the SD&AE railroad spur as a point of demarcation, the area located to the east, including Paradise Marsh and surrounding lands, would be suitable for passive recreational and open space uses only. Areas to the north of the marsh and west of the marsh and railroad spur should be designated for tourist commercial and recreational uses.

The total land area within National City which is developable, west of the Bayshore Bikeway and SDG&E right-of-way, and designated for tourist commercial and recreational open space use is approximately 23 acres.

Although the visitor commercial designation covers a broad range of uses, one or two anchor uses should be sought for the area. The Balanced Plan includes the expansion of Pepper Park, dry boat storage, and additional boat piers, RV park, and future hotels all within the Port District jurisdiction.

The area to the north of the Paradise Marsh, east of the SD&AE railroad right-of-way and south of Bay Marina Drive is also designated for tourist commercial use. As part of the Balanced Plan, a transition area from the working waterfront to expanded recreational facilities will provide a gateway to the National City Bayfront.

INDUSTRIAL
National City’s portion of the Coastal Zone includes two separate areas that are characterized by industrial development. The most heavily industrialized area is located west of I-5. It is almost entirely developed with medium industrial uses, and is designated “Medium Manufacturing” and “Heavy Manufacturing” in the General Plan. Truck access in this planning area is from I-5 and includes limited rail access. The other industrial area within National City’s Coastal Zone is the Sweetwater industrial area which is 160 acres in size and located east of I-5. The areas to the north and south are virtually all developed with light industrial use and some commercial areas fronting on National City Boulevard. As further described in the Balanced Plan section of the LCP, the City proposes to rezone Parcels 1, 2, 3, 5 , and 6 from MM (Medium Manufacturing) to CT (Tourist Commercial), which could allow these parcels to be developed with hotel, restaurant, retail, and/or some combination of tourist/visitor-serving commercial uses.

28 National City’s Coastal Zone is largely characterized by industrial development, much of which is related to the proximity of the Port’s operations. Due, in large part to the attraction of the marine terminal, virtually all of the industrial zoned land in National City’s Bayfront has been developed.

OPEN SPACE/WETLAND PRESERVE
The wetlands of the Paradise Creek Marsh, including salt marsh, freshwater marsh, salt-pan, Sweetwater Channel, and mudflat habitats, are valuable and sensitive biological resources, and shall be preserved. To that end, the plan designation for these areas is OPEN SPACE/WETLAND PRESERVE.

The value of the Paradise Marsh includes, but is not limited to, the following:
 Through photosynthesis of algal species, the marsh provides an oxygen supply for the waters of San Diego Bay, necessary for survival of fish species and natural pollution impact abatement.
 Flushing of plant and animal detritus from the marsh provides organic matter important for food chains in the bay.
 The marsh acts as a nursery for at least nine fish species, including several important sport fish species.
 The wetland habitats are extremely important wildlife areas, supporting a very high diversity of bird species. These include a number of sensitive species, i.e., Belding’s Savannah Sparrow, California Least Tern and the Light-footed Clapper Rail. The wetlands also are an important stop-over point for migratory species along the Pacific Flyway.

Potential uses for wetlands are:
 Scientific research, and educational uses;
 Passive recreation (i.e., bird watching);
 A possible source for applied research into the use of marsh species to introduce salt-tolerant genes into economically important plants (in agriculture), through selective cross-breeding.

One technique of preserving wetlands commonly referred to is the provision of a buffer area between the wetland and development. The state and federal resource agencies generally recommends that development be set back 100 feet from the landward edge of a wetland. The 100-foot wide buffer may be increased or decreased in consultation with the resource agencies.

The purpose of the 100-foot buffer is to ensure that the type and scale of development will not significantly degrade the adjacent habitat area. With respect to Paradise marsh, the wetland is almost entirely surrounded by existing industrial development and transportation corridors including lumber storage yards, slaughter houses, steel fabricating plant, I-5, and rights-of-way for the AT&SF and SD&AE Railroads.

29 The essential measure necessary to guarantee the preservation of Paradise Marsh is the maintenance of tidal flushing. As long as the marsh is kept open to tidal flushing and free from industrial and urban run-off, the existing water quality will be maintained at acceptable levels.

30 CHAPTER I

THE COASTAL ACT

HISTORY
Traditionally, the regulation of land use along California’s coastline has been by local government pursuant to State Planning and Zoning Law. This enabling legislation mandates local governments to prepare general plans and zoning to ensure orderly physical growth and development within their jurisdictions as well as the protection of public health, safety and welfare.

However, local control over land use in the Coastal Zone was significantly modified with the passage of the California Coastal Zone Conservation Act by the voters of California in November, 1972. In approving Proposition 20, the people of California declared that; “The permanent protection of the remaining natural and scenic resources of the Coastal Zone is a paramount concern to present and future residents of the state and nation”, and “It is the policy of the state to preserve, protect, and where possible, to restore the resources of the Coastal Zone for enjoyment of the current and succeeding generations.” Proposition 20 set forth a distinct role for the State in coastal land use matters, and created the California Coastal Zone Conservation Commission. The mandated mission of the Coastal Commission was to prepare a statewide comprehensive plan for the “orderly, long-range conservation and the management of the coast”, and to regulate development while the plan was being prepared. Preparation of the Coastal Plan commenced in 1973, and it was submitted to the state legislature in December, 1975. Based upon the Coastal Plan and the Commission’s experience of the preceding years, the California legislature passed the California Coastal Act in August, 1976.

GOALS AND POLICIES
The Coastal Act of 1976 in its opening section, Section 30001, contains the following finding and declaration of the state legislature:
(a) That the California Coastal Zone is a distinct and valuable resource of vital and enduring interest to all the people and exists as a delicately balanced ecosystem. (b) That the permanent protection of the state’s natural and scenic resources is a paramount concern to present and future residents of the state and nation. (c) That to promote the public safety, health, and welfare and to protect public and private property, wildlife, marine fisheries, and other ocean resources, and the natural environment, it is necessary to protect the ecological balance of the Coastal Zone and prevent its deterioration and destruction.

31 (d) That existing developed uses, and future developments that are carefully planned and developed consistent with the policies of this division, are essential to the economic and social well-being of the people of this state and especially to working persons employed within the Coastal Zone. (Amended by Cal. Stats. 1979 Ch. 1090)
The basic goals of the legislature for the coastal zone are defined in Section 30001.5 of the Coastal Act:
(a) Protect, maintain, and where feasible, enhance and restore the overall quality of the Coastal Zone environment and its natural and man-made resources. (b) Assure orderly, balanced utilization and conservation of Coastal Zone resources taking into account the social and economic needs of the people of the state. (c) Maximize public access to and along the coast and maximize public recreational opportunities in the Coastal Zone consistent with sound resource conservation principles and constitutionally protected rights of private property owners. (d) Assure priority for coastal-dependent and coastal related development over other development on the coast. (Amended by Cal. Stats. 1979, Ch. 1090) (e) Encourage state and local initiatives and cooperation in preparing procedures to implement coordinated planning and development of mutually beneficial uses, including educational uses, in the Coastal Zone.

The heart of the Coastal Act is found in Chapter 3, Coastal Resources Planning and Management Policies. These policies constitute the standards that local plans must meet in order to be certified by the State as well as the yardstick for evaluating proposed developments within the Coastal Zone.

Topics covered by coastal polices include: beach access, recreation, marine environment, environmentally sensitive habitat areas, agriculture, visual resources, and coastal dependent and industrial development. In essence, these policies are the rules for future growth and development in the Coastal Zone.

IMPLEMENTATION
The implementation of the Coastal Act is predicated upon the involvement of local government.

Section 3004 of the Act declares that “to achieve maximum responsiveness to local conditions, accountability, and public accessibility, it is necessary to rely heavily on local government and local land use planning procedures and enforcement.” To this end, the Act directs each local government within the Coastal Zone, wholly or partly, to prepare a Local Coastal Program (LCP).

An LCP consist of a local government’s land use plans, zoning ordinances, zoning district maps, and implementing actions which implement the provisions and policies of the Coastal Act at the local level. (30108.6).

32 The basis of the LCP is the land use plan. According to the Coastal Act, the land use plan means the “relevant portions of a local government’s general plan, or local coastal element, which are sufficiently detailed to indicate the kinds, location, and intensity of land uses, the applicable resource protection and development policies and, where necessary, a listing of implementing actions.” (32108.5). The zoning ordinances and district maps are the legal tools for implementing the land use plan. The Coastal Act also requires each LCP to “contain a specific public access component to assure that maximum access to the coast and public recreation areas is provided.” During preparation of a Local Coastal Program, local governments should coordinate planning with affected local, regional, state, and federal agencies, and provide the maximum opportunity for public participation. Under the Coastal Act, the responsibility for ensuring meaningful public participation rests with both the Coastal commission and local government; however, the local government retains the primary responsibility for involving the public in the actual planning process.

After the LCP has been reviewed and approved by the local government, it is then submitted to the State Coastal Commission for review. In certifying the land use plan, the Commission must find that the plan conforms to Chapter 3 of the Coastal Act, and contains the required public access component. The zoning and implementing ordinances are then reviewed to determine conformance with the approved land use plan. Once the land use plan and implementing ordinances have been certified, the review authority for new development within the Coastal Zone will revert from the Coastal Commission to local government. The local government in issuing coastal development permits must then make the finding that the development is in conformity with the approved LCP.

The State Commission will continue to exercise permit jurisdiction over certain kinds of developments (i.e., development in state tidelands). The State Commission will also review amendments to LCPs, and continue to hear permit appeals. However, only certain kinds of developments can be appealed after a local government’s LCP has been certified; these include:
(1) Developments approved by the local government between the sea and the first public road paralleling the sea or within 300 feet of the inland extent of any beach or of the mean high tideline of the sea where there is no beach, whichever is the greater distance. (2) Developments approved by the local government not included within paragraph (1) of this subdivision located on tidelands, submerged lands, public trust lands, within 100 feet of any wetland, estuary, stream, or within 300 feet of the top of the seaward face, of any coastal bluff.
(3) Any development which constitutes a major public works project or major energy facility.

The phrase “major public works project or major energy facility” as used in Public Resources Code Section 30603(a)(5) shall mean any proposed public works project, as defined by Section 13012 of the Coastal Commission Regulations (Title 14, California Administrative Code, Division 5.5) or energy facility, as defined by Public Resources Code Section 30107.

33 CHAPTER II

NATIONAL CITY

HISTORY
The City of National City is located along the eastern shores of San Diego Bay within the urbanized South Bay area of the San Diego Region. The City of San Diego’s central business district lies approximately five miles to the north. It is bordered by the City of San Diego to the north and east, and by Chula Vista to the south. The National City incorporated area includes approximately 8.65 square miles. The population of National City is currently 55,408 (January 1, 1986 est.).

National City is a general law city, incorporated in 1887, and is the second oldest city in San Diego County. Founded in 1868 by Frank Kimball as a competitor to Alonzo Horton’s new San Diego venture, it was planned to be a major terminus for the railroads then opening lines to the West Coast. Although the railroads chose other cities for their terminals, the agriculture industry flourished. Population grew slowly until the great boom of the 1940’s, when the population more than doubled in ten years. This was due to the large number of servicemen brought to the area during World War II. National City’s population has fluctuated greatly since then, reflecting changes in the number of military personnel on base. However, household population has continued to increase in a more stable, steady manner, as has the general industrial base.

In modern times, the City’s community members are subject to one the highest levels of toxic air pollution in the state stemming from the nearby Port operations and vehicular traveling along I-5.

Prior to the Balanced Plan the area had few recreational amenities and access to the bay was severely limited due to the industrialized waterfront. While direct access to the bay continues to be problematic the development of the marina, expansion of Pepper Park, and addition of new restaurants and hotels will help increase bayfront usage by local and regional visitors. The 2022 Balanced Plan’s intent is to allow for the continued use and expansion of the working waterfront, while at the same time providing for new lower cost visitor serving uses for the community and region. The efforts to reduce toxic emissions from Port District industrial uses remains a paramount goal and priority for the City.

COASTAL ZONE
The Coastal Zone of National City includes all the area west of I-5, and a small area east of I-5 south of 30th Street. However, the Coastal Zone is controlled by three separate governmental agencies: the San Diego Unified Port District, the United States Navy, and the City of National City. The City’s retained jurisdiction totals approximately 561 acres, and is bounded by the Navy Lands to the north, the Chula Vista Bayfront to the south, and the Port District jurisdiction to the west.

RELATED COASTAL PLANS
Plans adopted by the San Diego Unified Port District and the City of Chula Vista designate land uses adjacent to National City’s coastal jurisdiction. They also designate uses which extend near National City’s jurisdiction. National City’s coastal land use designations and proposed circulation

34 improvements should be based upon consideration of the plans of the adjacent jurisdictions to the extent that compatible uses can be developed.

The Port District has jurisdiction approximately 280 acres of land area. The Port jurisdiction also includes an isolated parcel of tidelands which is located in the salt flats south of Chula Vista and is connected to National City by a 300-foot wide corridor through San Diego Bay. The Port District submitted its Master Plan to the Coastal Commission and it was conditionally-approved in October, 1980. The Port District’s plan designated land areas west of the mean high tide line primarily for industrial use. It designates areas south of 32nd Street and generally east of Tidelands Avenue for commercial recreation and for park uses along the Sweetwater Channel, with vista area, public fishing, and bridge, boat launching ramp, public access and comfort station. The park designation reflects existing uses with expansion to the east. The channel itself is designated for berthing and navigation corridor up to the boat launching facilities, with open bay further east.

National City’s land use designations for adjacent area are complementary to the Port’s.

As described in the Balanced Plan section of this LCP, the Balanced Plan proposes the removal of approximately 12.4 acres within the Balanced Plan area, located mostly on the current day GB Capital leasehold east of the mean high tide line and on land owned in fee by the District, from the City’s General Plan, LCP, and LUC to reflect changes in land use and jurisdictional authority.

This change will clarify the jurisdictional boundary between the City and the District and will be reflected on all City zoning and General Plan maps. These lands are not currently regulated by the PMP and this jurisdictional amendment will ensure consistency with the California Coastal Act, Public Trust Doctrine, and Act. The District will amend its PMP map accordingly.

The Port’s plan also provides for the extension of off-ramps from I-5 and Route 54 through the National City Bayfront to 32nd Street. However, the off-ramps are not included in current State freeway plans. The Port’s plan also indicates the need to connect Tidelands Avenue from National City to Chula Vista, via bridge over the channel. However, Chula Vista’s Local Coastal Program locates a bridge in the vicinity of the SD&AE railroad right-of-way, generally in line with the proposed extension of Harrison Avenue.

Chula Vista’s land use plan, approved by the State Coastal Commission in 1984 and subsequently amended, designates 21 acres across the channel from National City for marina related uses, which includes commercial uses related to waterfront activities, ship repair services and boat marinas or haul out areas. Chula Vista’s Bayfront Specific Plan permits dredging for a small marina for 200 boats just west of the proposed bridge to cross the channel. The Port District also has jurisdiction over lands across the channel from National City west of area included in Chula Vista’s Local Coastal Program. The Port District lands in Chula Vista across the channel from National City are designated for marine sales and services and, at the most westerly location, expansion reserve.

Under the jurisdiction of the United States Navy is approximately 300 acres and 8,300 lineal feet of bay frontage. Federal lands are under the jurisdiction of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act, which states that military lands shall comply with coastal planning to the extent that national security is not imperiled.

35 COASTAL ZONE SUBAREAS
National City’s Coastal Zone can be divided into four districts: the industrial area west of I-5 (Subarea I), the Paradise Marsh wetlands area (Subarea II), the Sweetwater industrial area east of I-5 and south of 30th Street (Subarea III), and the I-5 freeway and San Diego Trolley rights-ofway (Subarea IV).

SUBAREA I
The industrial area west of I-5 contains approximately 210 acres and is almost entirely developed with light and medium industrial uses. The Combined General Plan/Zoning Map designates the area as primarily “MM”, Medium Manufacturing with a small portion of “MH”, Heavy Manufacturing. Approximately 6.4 acres located north of the marsh, east of the SD&AE railroad right-of-way, and south of Bay Marina Drive are designated for tourist commercial use, but contain industrial uses (meat packing). The area provides the entryway to National City’s Bayfront. The area is well served by truck access via I-5, rail access, and ship access through the Port District.

There are a number of older residential uses located in this area, which would be considered nonconforming with the General Plan and zoning designation of industrial.

SUBAREA II
The Paradise Marsh area contains approximately 75 acres and consists primarily of wetlands. The marsh was originally formed by Paradise Creek, which entered the area from the northeast and flowed across what is now the Port District property to the Bay. The filling of the Port District property destroyed the natural creek bed. The creek now runs due south in a man-made channel to the Sweetwater River and hence into the Bay. This channel allows limited tidal action to enter the marsh.

Upstream of the marsh, outside of the coastal area, Paradise Creek has also been altered. The drainage area has been reduced due to urban development, and the creek is entirely contained in man-made drainage facilities. It enters the marsh through culverts under I-5.

National City’s General Plan designated this area as Open Space Reserve for preservation of open space wetlands and passive recreational use, and as Tourist Commercial, with the recognition that this area is the only potential area for waterfront recreational facilities.

SUBAREA III
The Sweetwater industrial area contains approximately 160 acres. The entire central portion of this area has been reserved for the Route 54/Sweetwater River Flood Control Channel Project.

This project combines the construction of State Highway Route 54 from I-805 to I-5 with the construction of a flood control channel from approximately 600 ft. west of Plaza Bonita Road, immediately upstream of I-805, to San Diego Bay. The flood control channel would generally occupy the area between eastbound and westbound lanes of Route 54. In addition, the project proposes the acquisition of a total of 188 acres of marshlands in both the Sweetwater and Paradise

36 Marshes. This acquisition includes 44 acres as compensation for the impacts of the project and 144 acres for preservation of habitat for endangered species.

The project also includes a recreation element consisting of bicycle, equestrian, and pedestrian trails, rest and staging areas, and shoreline access and recreational features (to be located in Subarea II).

The remaining portions of the area are either designated for and/or partially developed with light industrial uses and some commercial areas fronting on National City Boulevard.

SUBAREA IV
The Interstate 5 Freeway and Trolley System (MTS) rights-of-way include approximately 130 acres. The two regional transportation facilities are separated from discussion of the other subareas for two reasons. First, the two facilities are existing and under the jurisdiction of the State Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and Metropolitan Transit System (MTS). Second, the facilities and right-of-ways provide existing access and are designated as Open Space by the Combined General Plan/Zoning Map. Other than landscaping and transportation related improvements, no development in the subarea is anticipated.

39 CHAPTER III

PUBLIC ACCESS
(PUBLIC ACCESS COMPONENT)

COASTAL ACT POLICIES
Sections 30210, 30211, 30212 and 30214 require that public access and recreational opportunities be provided for all the people; that development not interfere with the public’s right of access; that new development provide public access to the shoreline; and that public access be managed to protect fragile resources and property rights.

EXISTING CONDITIONS
The United States Navy controls approximately two-thirds of National City’s Bayfront, through which public access is expressly prohibited. The remainder of the Bayfront is under the jurisdiction of the Unified Port District, and is developed predominantly with industrial uses.

However, the Port has developed a launching ramp and an adjacent public recreation area which accommodates public access to the shoreline - both pedestrian and boating. In addition, it should be pointed out that considerable off-road vehicle activity has taken place in the area. ORV access occurs through Port lands and overlaps into National City’s jurisdiction. Because of numerous problems, including vandalism, violence and accidents, the Port has erected a fence to discourage such use.

The only opportunity for public access within the limits of the City is Paradise Marsh and its surrounding lands. However, there is presently no public access to nor public use of this area.

Although the Paradise Marsh is subject to limited tidal flow, it is not public tidelands and is not in public ownership. The northern portion of Paradise Marsh west of I-5 will be acquired by the federal government as a condition of approval of the Sweetwater River Flood Control project. The southern portion west of I-5 is Caltrans right-of-way.

EXISTING PLANNING AND ZONING
National City’s combined General Plan/Zoning Map designates the Paradise Marsh area as Open Space Reserve (OSR) and Tourist Commercial (CT). The Open Space Reserve designation will preserve wetland areas and provide for passive recreational use, i.e. nature study. The Tourist Commercial designation is established for the provision of services, goods and accommodations for visitors to the area.

The General Plan contains several policy statements which support the concept of increased public access to and use of National City’s Bayfront. These policies speak to supporting the Bay-Route Bikeway, Sweetwater Regional Park Connection, and improved transit to the area.

Other planning which would affect the National City Coastal Zone is the Highway 54/Sweetwater flood control project. CALTRANS and Army Corps of Engineers are lead agencies for the project.

The recreational aspects of the flood control channel will be discussed in more detail in the

40 Recreation section. With respect to access, the proposed Highway 54 project will improve access to National City’s Bayfront. A direct connection from Route 54 and I-5 to the 32nd Street area should be encouraged to further improve access.

ANALYSIS
DEMAND
The subject of demand will be explored more thoroughly in the next section dealing with Recreation. However, it should be pointed out that the demand for coastal recreation, and therefore public access to coastal areas, is increasing at a very fast rate. CPO, in their Coastal Access Study for the San Diego Region, estimated that the demand for coastal recreation will increase by 55% over the next 20 years.

TRAVEL MODE
The CPO study contains other revealing information as to how individuals actually travel to coastal areas. According to their survey, 80% of all coastal trips are by private vehicle (primarily the automobile), 11% by walking, 6% by bicycle, and 4% by transit. Because of the extremely high incidence of automobile usage shown in the survey, the factors of traffic congestion and parking availability become crucial to shoreline access. In examining the National City situation, no problem presently exists with respect to access by automobile. Information available through both National City and the Port District indicates that traffic counts and projections are well below designed capacities on Tidelands Avenue and Bay Marina Drive. However, factors other than traffic counts must be considered in evaluating vehicular access to the recreational areas, existing and potential, along National City’s Bayfront. Several factors which could result in definite conflict between recreational and industrial use include the type of vehicle, the frequency of railroad and container activity and the effectiveness of the Bay Marina Drive/I-5 intersection. With respect to the type of vehicle, large lumber hauling are continuously traveling along and across Tidelands Avenue to service the lumber yards. The Port’s container terminal at Bay Marina Drive is scheduled for expansion, which will result in similar increases in truck and rail traffic in the area. Finally, the functional design of the Bay Marina Drive intersection with I-5 has presented problems with drainage and difficult turning maneuvers for larger vehicles. Fortunately, peak travel times for recreational trips usually do not coincide with trip to work peaks. Although industrial activity along the Port does not follow an 8 to 5 Monday through Friday regimen, no intolerable conflicts between recreational and industrial traffic are foreseen.

In conjunction with the CALTRANS Highway 54 project, a 32nd Street off-ramp that would also serve I-5 was proposed but has been deleted from State freeway plans. This new off-ramp would have provided direct vehicular access into the recreational areas of the Bayfront, bypassing most industrial areas. Also, as a part of this LCP a new access road is proposed to provide more direct access to the Bayfront. This new road is proposed to intersect with Bay Marina Drive between the rights-of-way for the AT&SF and SD&AE railroads, and connect with 32nd Street. Although the new road would still be dependent upon the Bay Marina Drive /I-5 intersection, it would bypass the majority of the industrial areas and would improve both ingress and egress to the proposed recreational area.

41 Parking capacity is, of course, a prime determinant in assessing recreational access. Although on peak summer weekends the parking lot for the Port’s launching ramp and park sometimes overflows, availability of parking in the area is not considered critical. On-street parking is abundant in the area, and even with the unauthorized ORV activity in the area, parking has been available. As the area develops with more formalized and permanent uses, care must be taken that adequate parking is provided.

Recent developments in the realm of public transit and bicycle travel have some potential for improving recreational access to National City’s Bayfront through travel modes other than the automobile. Those developments are the Metropolitan Transit Development Board’s “San Diego Trolley” along the main line of the old SD&AE railroad right-of-way, and the Bayshore Bikeway.

The MTS trolley incorporates a station (24th Street) at Mile of Cars Way and Wilson Avenue. The 24th Street station is used for commuter traffic. However, presuming that the National City Bayfront will become a visitor destination, the proximity of the 24th Street station would be of potential benefit. It is within short walking distance from the designated tourist commercial area north of Paradise Marsh on the south side of Bay Marina Drive. However, pedestrian and bicycle facilities underneath the I-5 freeway could be improved to increase separation from traffic and the safety and comfort of users. While the station location may be beyond comfortable walking range for some users from potential recreation areas at the Sweetwater River channel, other intermediate modes such as bicycles or jitneys may be feasible. The 24th Street station also connects with routes for National City Transit.

The Bayshore Bikeway presents another mode of travel which has positive potential for National City. In its original form, the bikeway was to have passed right by Paradise Marsh and its adjacent lands along the extension of Tidelands Avenue across Sweetwater Marsh. The Coastal Commission, in separate actions, eliminated the extension of Tidelands Avenue across Sweetwater Marsh, and approved an alternative route for the bikeway that would take it up Bay Marina Drive to National City Boulevard. Although the original route would have been much more conducive for public access to the National City area, the current routing still retains access potential. The extension of a secondary route to the Port’s launching ramp and Paradise Marsh complex would be entirely appropriate and consistent with both National City’s General Plan and the Port Master Plan.

LOCATION
As previously discussed, the only area that has potential for public shoreline access within National City’s corporate boundaries is Paradise Marsh and its surrounding lands. The reason for this is simply because it is the only area within National City’s jurisdiction that has a shoreline.

It should be noted, however, that provisions are made for public access within the immediate area.

The Port District’s boat launching ramp and recreational area is located directly adjacent to National City’s jurisdictional limit, and provides shoreline access for the boating enthusiast, the fisherman, and the general recreationist. Whereas the Port has made a concerted effort to accommodate public access and use within its jurisdiction, the U.S. Navy has not due to security concern for the naval bases, which is consistent with the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act.

42 When assessing the locational needs of public access, care should be taken to differentiate between vertical and lateral access. Vertical meaning access to the shoreline, and lateral meaning access along the shoreline. Rather than reciting all the information contained in the Coastal Commission’s Interpretive Guidelines for access, suffice it to say that both forms of access are needed in National City.

REGULATION AND MANAGEMENT
As established in the General Plan and in the Coastal Act, it is a desired goal to provide public shoreline access within the city limits of National City. Thus far, the potential location for such access and the alternative travel modes to reach it, have been discussed. What will now be examined are the various methods by which the public access can be protected and provided in accordance with City objectives and the Coastal Act.

The most economic method for the local government would be the dedication of public accessways at the time of development; this action is specifically allowed by the Coastal Act (Section 30212).

Essentially, there are three forms such dedications can take: deed restriction, grant of fee interest, or grant of an easement. Taking into account the development potential of the area adjacent to Paradise Marsh, the most appropriate method of providing access would be through deed restrictions. With a deed restriction, no interest in the land proposed for access is granted and the land owner retains responsibility for the access way. Deed restrictions are especially suited for commercial/recreational developments, since the security needs of the facility and maintenance of the accessways are most effectively handled by the owner/operator of the development. Other methods would be appropriate for obtaining public roadway and park areas. The provision of public access concurrent with private development is not envisioned as a problem since the type and form of development envisioned would be predicated upon public use and enjoyment.

Another consideration in the provision of public access, especially in areas adjacent to wetlands, is that the resource areas are protected from overuse. Achieving consistency with this section of the Coastal Act (30210) is really a matter of design, habitat buffers, and location of the access way.

Lateral accessways, especially along the shoreline of Paradise Marsh, should be set back a sufficient distance to ensure protection of the marsh. However, closer proximity to the marsh can be achieved through the utilization of controlled access points. Overall, access ways should be provided and identified in accordance with the coastal access standards adopted by the Coastal Commission and Coastal Conservancy.

POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS

1. New public shoreline accessways shall be designated to and along Paradise Marsh and the Sweetwater River Channel as generally shown in Figure 5.

2. Public accessways as designated in Condition Number One shall be provided in conjunction with new development and protected through public access easements or other suitable means of conveyance.

43 3. In order to provide new public shoreline accessways, the City will seek the assistance of the Coastal Conservancy, or other appropriate agency, to acquire, plan, and finance public shoreline access.

4. The precise location, design and identification of public accessways shall be consistent, to the maximum degree feasible, with the coastal access standards prepared jointly by the Coastal Commission, resource agencies, and the Coastal Conservancy.

5. As indicated in the General Plan, it is the City’s policy that the Bayshore Bikeway continue its development south of Bay Marina Drive

6. Alternative modes of access to National City’s Bayfront shall be actively encouraged.

7. All new development shall incorporate adequate on-site parking to accommodate the parking demand generated. The number of required parking spaces for new development shall be determined during the implementation phase of the Local Coastal Program, but shall be, at a minimum, consistent with the schedule of parking requirements of the Municipal Code.

8. A new access road located westerly and parallel to the Paradise Marsh would extend southerly from the vicinity of Harrison Avenue at Bay Marina Drive to the National City Boat Launching Facilities and future marine oriented, commercial/and or recreational uses.

A buffer shall be provided between the roadway and the marsh. A Specific Plan shall be prepared to identify desirable buffering between the marsh and roadway, located in the upland area west of Paradise Marsh. It should also proposed landscaping or other design elements to provide visual linkage and identity for the Paradise Marsh area and appropriate visual separation from the industrial area to the west and freeway to the east.

9. New development shall not interfere with desirable public access that may exist or be established by public use on or across private property, i.e. prescriptive rights. Desirable public access shall include access to natural or constructed coastal, recreational resources, except where necessary to protect fragile coastal resources or public safety, or where adequately provided for in another area.

44 CHAPTER IV

RECREATION

COASTAL ACT POLICIES
Sections 30212.5, 30213, 30220-30223, and 30256(c) require the provision of public and low-cost recreation and visitor-serving facilities, and the protection of coastal water and land areas that are suitable for recreational use. Also, visitor-serving commercial uses designed to enhance public opportunities for coastal recreation are assigned a higher priority than other private residential or general commercial development. As previously discussed, the Balanced Plan creates new lowcost visitor serving amenities for the public; such as a dry boat storage facility, RV Park, expanded park space, boating finger piers, and improved access to the bay.

EXISTING CONDITIONS
As mentioned in the previous section on access, the majority of National City’s Bayfront is either under the jurisdiction of the United States Navy or the Unified Port District. In the case of the Navy lands, public access and recreational use is prohibited. The majority of the Port's holdings are developed with large scale industrial marine uses. The District has developed recreational opportunities in Pepper Park, the Aquatic Center, and the Pier 32 Marina. While all of these are within the District’s jurisdiction, they do offer recreational opportunities and public access to both National City residents and the general public.

Also, as referenced in the section on Public Access, unauthorized off-road vehicle activity has been taking place on the undeveloped tidelands located east of the launching ramp and park. The ORV activity has also extended into areas within National City's jurisdiction around the Paradise Marsh, and the "D" Street fill in Chula Vista. Because of surveillance problems and intrusion into sensitive resource areas, the Port District has erected a fence around the perimeter of the area.

The only area within National City's portion of the Bayfront that is suitable for recreational use are the lands around Paradise Marsh. These lands are now privately owned and are not developed for any public recreational use. The City of National City has long recognized the potential of the Paradise Marsh area, and has examined this potential in both the General Plan and precise planning documents.

EXISTING PLANNING AND ZONING
A discussion of the General Plan designations and policies relative to the recreational potential of the Paradise Marsh is presented in the preceding section on Public Access. Rather than duplicate that discussion, the primary proposals of the Sweetwater River Flood Control Channel plans will be examined.

45 ANALYSIS
DEMAND
To quote from the California Coastal Plan,
"The California coast provides an almost endless variety of recreational opportunities for people to play, to be refreshed, and to be inspired: wide sandy beaches for cooling off from the heat of the city, rocky headlands for exploring; high bluffs for watching the everchanging ocean; waters for swimming, boating, surfing, and fishing; and tide pools, sea caves, and coastal wetlands for nature study. In short, the coast is a major provider of recreation important to the quality of life in California." Even with the many public and commercial recreational opportunities and facilities which exist along the coast, a shortage of facilities persists for almost every popular recreational activity.

According to the Coastal Plan, a reason for this situation is that 85% of California’s population lives within 30 miles of the ocean. Although the exact demand for specific types of recreational facilities is difficult to project, studies universally indicate a continued high demand for the traditionally popular coastal activities such as fishing, sightseeing, beach and general day use throughout the southern portions of the state.

These same findings are particularly true for the San Diego coast. The CPO Coastal Access Study conservatively estimated that participation in recreational activities at coastal areas will grow by at least 55% over the next 20 years. The study also shows that the activities pursued by the highest number of participants are sunbathing, walking and swimming. Whereas sunbathing, walking and swimming are the most popular coastal recreational activities, the two activities which probably have the greatest unmet demand are beach camping and boating. San Diego County’s Regional Park Implementation Study states that the greatest unmet recreation need is for beach camping, and projected that, in 1980, 10% to 15% of the demand for overnight facilities would be met. With respect to boating, the Port District projected that available slip sites might be exhausted by 1985.

Of particular importance to National City is the fact that there is a pent-up demand for coastal recreation opportunities throughout the state and San Diego. Because the South Bay has comparatively fewer recreational areas than other coastal areas in the San Diego Region, it could be deduced that there is even a larger unmet demand for coastal recreation in the South Bay. Not only is there demand, but the activities which are most popular or in greatest demand are those which are especially suitable to National City’s Bayfront.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINTS.

When discussing, in specific terms, the recreational development of National City’s Bayfront in accordance with Coastal Act policy, the market, traffic usage, access, and other environmental constraints must first be considered. The Environmental Impact Report of 2022 considered these factors in developing the Balanced Plan development program. The Balanced Plan was a careful balance between maritime-related industrial and the creation of new recreational facilities and uses.

46 As explained in the Marsh Preservation discussion, the preservation of coastal wetland areas is a paramount objective of the Coastal Act. It is the position of both the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the State Department of Fish and Game, that Paradise Creek Marsh is tidal marsh, and is an important and inseparable part of the Sweetwater Marsh complex. Any new recreational uses should be passive in nature. Both features are within federal ownership and are protected by existing regulations.

The 24th Street trolley station and freeway access (to I-5 and State Route 54) at Bay Marina Drive provide opportunities for tourist commercial development in the area north of Paradise Marsh, currently developed with meat packing facilities and parking lots. Streetscape and roadway improvements, or separated pedestrian facilities would be needed to improve pedestrian access from the trolley station under I-5 to the area.

Tourist commercial development at Bay Marina Drive north of Paradise Marsh would provide a gateway to National City’s Bayfront as well as to the Port. It would provide facilities such as restaurants, hotel or motel and other complementary uses to those intended at the Bayfront itself, west of Paradise Marsh. It should be developed to encourage bicycle and pedestrian users since it is within close proximity to both the trolley station and the recreational area along the Sweetwater River Channel.

POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS

1. The National City Bayfront shall be designated for tourist commercial and recreational use, as indicated in the Land Use Plan (See Figure 2). The areas to the west and to the north of the Marsh shall be designated for tourist commercial and recreational uses. Wetland resources located west of the railroad shall be protected from incompatible development, consistent with marsh preservation policies.

2. The passive recreational area would accommodate the preservation of Paradise Marsh, along with the provision of public accessways and landscaped areas. Public access would be provided and managed consistent with the public access component of the LCP and the maintenance of wetland resource values. Beyond this area, a transition to more active uses could begin. Landscaped areas suitable for picnicking and general recreation may be appropriate.

3. In order to meet specific recreational market demands and provide an attraction for secondary uses, overnight uses and boating uses shall be assigned the highest commercial development priority for the commercial recreational areas. For the area west of Paradise Marsh, appropriate uses, as described in the Balanced Plan, include marina development, hotel/motel and restaurant facilities, recreational vehicle park/campground, dry-storage and boat service facility, and/or public park areas. For the area north of Paradise Marsh, hotel/motel facilities, restaurants and other tourist commercial use would be appropriate.

A Specific Plan shall be prepared to address traffic circulation and roadway and other improvements, in conjunction with development plans for the tourist commercial area west of Paradise Marsh. The Specific Plan shall determine the location of roadway

47 improvements, based on resource protection standards, i.e., consistency with marsh preservation policies.

4. Tourist commercial development in the above referenced areas shall be consistent with existing or currently planned road capacities to the north and south of the proposed tourist commercial area, including the planned extension of Harrison Avenue and the Tidelands Avenue crossing proposed in the City of Chula Vista Bayfront LCP. The intensity of development shall also be reflective of the constraints placed on these roadways by the Marsh Preservation policies of this Plan. Approval of these land uses shall not be considered precedent for increasing the capacity of the roads to the north and south of the tourist commercial area.

5. Paradise Marsh has been acquired by the United States of America and is managed as a National Wildlife Refuge unit by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. To enhance the environmentally sustainable recreation potential and attractiveness of the National City waterfront, the restoration and management of Paradise Marsh for high quality endangered species habitat and associated wetland values is a desirable program. A feasible restoration program is the province of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service whose coordination and cooperation with the City and other interested agencies, persons, and organizations is cordially invited.

6. To enhance the recreational potential and attractiveness of the National City waterfront, the restoration and protection of Paradise Marsh continues to be imperative and a continued City policy.

7. To ensure that the recreational potential of the area is maximized, development shall take into account the proximity to the MTS Trolley System, the Bayshore Bikeway, and the Sweetwater River Flood Control Channel’s recreational areas and trails systems, as well as recreational uses planned for the adjacent Chula Vista Bayfront and other waterfront development on San Diego Bay.

48 CHAPTER V

MARSH PRESERVATION

COASTAL ACT POLICIES
Sections 30230, 30231, and 30236 require the preservation, enhancement, and restoration of water and marine resources including coastal waters, streams, wetlands, estuaries, and lakes. Sections 30233 and 30235 establish conditions under which diking, dredging, filling and the use of shoreline structures may and may not occur. Section 30233 (c) limits dredging to very minor incidental public facilities, restorative measures, and nature studies. Section 30240 provides for the protection of environmentally sensitive habitat areas by restricting uses within or adjacent to such areas.

EXISTING CONDITIONS
The Paradise Creek Marsh in southwest National City consists of two areas comprising a total of

29.8 areas, as described in the Working Paper on Paradise Marsh Biological Resources. The main area, 26.1 acres is size, is located west of Interstate 5 (I-5), within a 40-acre area designated as Open Space Wetland Preserve (OSR) in the Land Use Plan. A second area of approximately 3.7 acres lies east of I-5 and is connected to the main area by a culvert. It is designated as OSR in the Land Use Plan. Paradise Creek, partly in a meandering original channel and partly in a new channelized straight course, leads from the northeast corner of the main area to join the Sweetwater River south of the National City-Chula Vista border. Because of the Sweetwater River’s connection to San Diego Bay and the low elevation of the area, the marsh is subjected to tidal action.

The main area is bounded on the east by I-5, on the west by Marina Way, and on the north by medium manufacturing along Bay Marina Drive. The southern boundary of the subject area is the National City-Chula Vista city line, but the wetland extends 1,800 more feet (20 more acres) south to the junction of the Paradise Creek channel with the Sweetwater River. This main area contains a large 9.4-acre section of coastal salt marsh represented by the Cordgrass, Saltwort, and Pickle weed habitats. The salt marsh surrounds a small intertidal flat and is itself surrounded by slopes leading to higher upland sites. On each side of a newly dredged channel are large, flat expanses of fill which support a salt pan with occasional patches of vegetation.

The secondary area is bounded on the east by Hoover Avenue, on the north by light manufacturing properties along West Thirtieth Street, and on the south by more light industry. The Metropolitan Transit Development Board’s transit line is the west boundary. About one acre of coastal salt marsh and an equal area of salt pan lie within the area. Above and north of this area is a terrace of disturbed upland, most likely a former roadbed. Slopes lead up from here to the building sites at the north edge.

Paradise Creek originally flowed into the Paradise Marsh area, then west into San Diego Bay.

Presently, Paradise Creek enters the main area from a culvert at the northeast corner of the marsh.

Before entering the marsh, the creek runs in a channelized bed nearly 4,000 feet long. It drains approximately 1.5 square miles of upland National City. Almost half of its length within the marsh

49 is the original meandering channel; the remaining length is a straight channel leading to the Sweetwater River. At the National City-Chula Vista border, the channel is about 28 feet wide.

The sides are steep and the almost flat bottom is under about two feet of water at low tide of -1.5 feet. There are many small tidal creeks connected to the meandering part of the creek and a few incipient tidal creeks along the straight part. Another stream flows from a storm drain at Hoover Street, through the second marsh area and a culvert, and then joins Paradise Creek.

Historically, the wetlands of California have been subjected to significant development. In 1900, California had 381,000 acres of wetlands, and southern California, from Santa Barbara County to San Diego County, had 26,000 acres. California’s coastal wetlands have been reduced to 126,000 acres, a 67 percent reduction. Southern California’s wetlands have been reduced by a similar percentage to 8,500 acres. Within the slightly larger Southern California boundaries, between Morro Bay and Ensenada, Mexico, three of the original 28 sizeable estuaries have been destroyed, ten drastically modified, and 15 moderately modified, leaving none untouched. San Diego Bay has lost an even higher percentage of its wetlands; it has 360 acres of salt marsh plus 600 acres of tidal flats remaining from an original 2,450 acres and 1,200 acres - an overall loss of 74 percent.

The land surrounding the marsh has been heavily impacted by man through industry, major highways, dredge, and historic fill operations. The marsh itself has been impacted by ATV, pedestrian activity and rubbish dumping. These impacts can be traced back to 1888 when a pier was built at the end of Twenty-Fourth Street. The open area to the west of the marsh was filled in 1946. Construction of the 1,960-acre Twenty-Fourth Street Terminal began in 1967. The area between Paradise Creek and San Diego Bay was filled in 1968, and the channel was dredged between Paradise Creek and the Sweetwater River. The land around the dredged channel is, for the most part, bare fill. The D Street fill in Chula Vista was formed in 1969, covering an area of 108 acres. It has eroded on its western edge, depositing sediment into a 26-acre tidal flat, degrading the tidal flat habitat. Due to creation of the Twenty-Fourth Street Marine Terminal, the dredging of the Twenty-Fourth Street channel and filling of some wetland area, another channel was dredged in 1969 to divert Paradise Creek south into the Sweetwater River.

Today, Paradise Creek is a remnant of a formerly extensive marsh system. It once joined with the Sweetwater River Marsh to create a continuous estuarine area all along National City’s shoreline, and extended inland beyond National City Boulevard. It is now reduced to 29+ acres and is separated from the Sweetwater Marsh by the D Street fill. Still, the Sweetwater-Paradise Marsh complex is the highest quality marsh remaining in San Diego Bay.

EXISTING PLANNING AND ZONING
The Natural Setting Section of the National City’s Updated General Plan contains several policy statements recommending the preservation of Paradise Marsh. For example:

Policy F. The City will preserve open space as necessary and desirable to conserve natural resources, to provide adequate recreation, and to protect public health and safety.

Policy H. The City will support efforts by state and federal resource agencies related to preserving valuable natural habitats in the Paradise Marsh and Sweetwater River areas.

50 Implementation Policy 9. Seek implementation of the adopted Local Coastal Program’s Land Use Plan regarding preservation and enhancing of natural resources in the Paradise Marsh and Bayfront areas of the coastal zone in National City.

National City’s Combined General Plan/Zoning Map designates the Paradise Marsh as Open Space Reserve (OSR). The secondary area of the marsh, that which is located east of I-5, is also designated as Open Space Reserve. The designation is applied primarily to implement the Local Coastal Plan, regarding preservation of open space wetland areas and passive use of the land for limited nature study purposes.

The Paradise Marsh area is also located within the Floodway Fringe (FF-1). This zone is applied to those areas of special flood hazard designated as Floodway Fringe on the “Flood Boundary and Floodway Map” of the Federal Flood Insurance Study. Before development can proceed within a special flood hazard area, a Flood Hazard Development Permit must be obtained concurrently with routinely required development permits. The FF-1 zone establishes the development standards with which development must comply to receive the Flood Hazard Development Permit.

ANALYSIS

RESOURCE VALUE
The value of the Paradise Marsh includes, but is not limited to, the following:

1. Through photosynthesis of algal species, the marsh provides an oxygen supply for the waters of San Diego Bay, necessary for survival of fish species and natural pollution impact abatement.

2. Flushing of plant and animal detritus from the marsh provides organic matter important for food chains in the bay and protection from sea level rise.

3. The marsh acts as a nursery for at least nine fish species, including several important sport fish species.

4. The wetland habitats are extremely important wildlife areas, supporting a very high diversity of bird species. These include a number of sensitive species, i.e., Belding’s Savannah Sparrow, and potentially the Light-footed Clapper Rail. The wetlands also are an important stopover point for migratory species along the Pacific Flyway.

Potential uses for the wetlands, if preserved, are:

1. Basic scientific research, nature study, or educational uses;

2. Passive recreation (i.e., bird watching);

51 IMPACT ON MARSH
The biological resources of the Paradise Creek Marsh have been affected by both past and current impacts. Past impacts to the marsh, which changed is character and size, were reduction in total area of wetlands, landfill activities, and channel alteration of Paradise Creek. Current, ongoing impacts to the biological resources include off-road vehicle activity, rubbish disposal, and sedimentation and pollutant deposition from urban runoff.

PRESERVATION CONSIDERATIONS
One mitigation measure for preserving wetlands commonly referred to is the provision of a buffer area between the wetland and development. The Coastal Commission and other resource agencies recommend that development be set back 100 feet from the delineated edge of a wetland. The 100-foot-wide buffer may be increased in consultation with the resource agencies. The purpose of the 100-foot buffer is to ensure that the type and scale of development will not significantly degrade the adjacent habitat area. With respect to Paradise Marsh, the wetland is almost entirely surrounded by existing industrial development and transportation corridors, including lumber storage yards, automobile storage, and I-5 and State Route 54 rights-of-way. In most locations, this existing development lies immediately adjacent to the landward edge of the wetlands. In such situations, the Commission’s guidelines recommend that new development observe an appropriate setback based on unique characteristics of the property.

In order to preserve the marsh, it is essential that the marsh be open to tidal flushing. Salt marshes need nitrogen, and preliminary fertilizer experiments have indicated that a marsh could be more productive if more nitrogen were available. One important source of nitrogen is ammonium from the ocean via tidal flushing. For example, in the Tijuana estuary, flushing can supply 1.0 - 2.16g nitrogen per square meter per year (28 percent of the nitrogen required for vascular plants, 10 percent of that required by vascular and algal plants combined). Another source of nitrogen is mineral recycling within the marsh itself, partly through decomposition. Also, tidal flushing exports about 30 percent of the marsh’s net primary productivity to the ocean. For example, organic carbon leaves the Tijuana estuary at the rate of 35-105g carbon per square meter per year, mostly in the dissolved form. Since little particulate organic carbon (i.e., carbon in detritus) leaves, it is assumed that the detritus is consumed within the marsh and is a partial source of nutrients.

In years of low rainfall, lower tidal flushing can lead to hyper-salinity of the soil, which can reduce productivity, leading possibly to the elimination of some species. For example, Cordgrass cannot tolerate either high salinity or widely fluctuating salinities, and a population of Light-footed Clapper Rails would disappear from an area if it were deprived of Cordgrass for its nesting sites.

It has been hypothesized that Los Peñasquitos Lagoon lost its Cordgrass between 1942 and the 1970’s due to altered tidal circulation.

As mentioned previously, the essential measure necessary to guarantee the preservation of Paradise Marsh is the maintenance of tidal flushing. As long as the marsh is kept open to tidal flushing, and as long as the major input of freshwater continues to be runoff from the upstream areas rather than industrial discharge, the existing water quality will be maintained at acceptable levels. Other management alternatives, such as implementing increased street sweeping programs or sediment

52 control measures in selected sub-basins, do not appear to be necessary on the basis of the data and results presently available.

RESTORATION CONSIDERATIONS
As proposed, the Sweetwater River Flood Control Channel would have an overall beneficial impact upon the biological resources of Paradise Marsh. The reason for this, in addition to the preservation of the marsh itself through acquisition, is the restoration of the marsh’s primary connection channel. The intended result of these actions is to increase the rates of tidal flushing, thereby improving the productivity of the marsh.

Consideration of restoration activities should definitely not be limited to the connection channel.

Improving the tidal inundation of the main marsh itself would result in a more productive habitat and an increased number and diversity of wildlife utilizing the marsh. In addition, the marsh could become an aesthetic asset of National City's Coastal Zone.

In general, restoration of the area would entail removal of some of the fill from the present high salt-pan to the south of the marsh itself and in the secondary area to the east of I-5, and rechannelization of these two areas.

POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS

1. The wetlands of the Paradise Marsh complex, including the secondary area of Paradise Marsh, east of 1-5 (Bannister Marsh), salt marsh, freshwater marsh, saltpan, channel, and mudflat habitats, are valuable and sensitive biological resources and shall be preserved through coordinated actions by the City and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, which manages Paradise Marsh for the United States of America. The plan shall be OPEN SPACE/WETLAND PRESERVE. The boundaries of the "Open Space Wetland Preserve" include marsh area within the Caltrans right-of-way easterly of the SDG&E right-of-way and Bannister Marsh.

2. In order to preserve Paradise Marsh, the wetlands located east of the Bayshore Bikeway; the secondary area of Paradise Marsh, east of I-5; and the Sweetwater River south of 35th Street shall be subject to the following policies:
 Alteration shall be limited to minor incidental public facilities, restoration measures, and nature study. Consistent with the provisions of Section 30233, the diking, dredging and filling of wetlands, open waters, estuaries and lakes shall be permitted only where there is no feasible less environmentally damaging alternative, and where feasible mitigation measures have been provided to minimize adverse environmental effects, and shall be limited to the following: incidental public service purposes, restoration purposes, and nature study. There shall be no alteration of Paradise Marsh, the wetlands located west of the railroad which are not proposed for public acquisition, as well as of the secondary area of Paradise Marsh.
 The dumping of rubbish or commercial waste into the marsh areas shall be prohibited.

53  The intrusion of off-road vehicles and unauthorized pedestrian traffic into the marsh areas shall be discouraged.
 A buffer area shall be established for new development adjacent to wetlands. A 100 ft. distance from the edge of the wetland shall generally provide an acceptable buffer. The required distance may be increased or decreased based on consultation with state and federal resource agencies. A buffer area less than 100 feet wide may be permitted, depending upon the analysis of the specific site proposed for development. Examples which may demonstrate that a lesser distance would be acceptable include, but are not limited to, the type and size of development, proposed buffer improvements such as landscaping or fencing, and existing site characteristics such as a grade differential between a marsh area and adjacent upland area, existing development in the area, and parcel size and configuration. Consistency with buffers required as part of the Sweetwater River Channel / State Route 54 project shall also be considered in order to determine appropriate buffers less than 100 feet wide. The buffers shall be determined with the concurrence of the State Department of Fish and Game.

3. To enhance the habitat and aesthetic value of Paradise Marsh transitional and high tide refuge areas located within the City's jurisdiction, the wetlands located west of the railroad that are not proposed for federal acquisition, as well as Bannister Marsh and the Sweetwater River south of 35th Street, feasible restoration activities shall be encouraged. Feasible restoration activities shall be determined with the potential assistance of the Coastal Conservancy, US Fish and Wildlife Service, California Department of Fish and Game, or other public agency or private group, including the Bayfront Conservancy Trust, to finance, plan, implement, and manage a restoration program. The recommended elements for a restoration program include:
 A public access and information program that would be designed to allow observation of the marsh, while controlling intrusion into the marsh itself. A component of the access program should be an interpretive nature trail along the western margins of Paradise Marsh, which could connect with an observation platform.  The removal of all rubbish and debris from the marsh through a volunteer effort, or the California Conservation Corps.
 The dredging of Paradise Marsh, consistent with a marsh restoration program, prepared in consultation with the California Department of Fish and Game and approved by the California Coastal Commission, possibly concurrent with the construction of the Sweetwater River Flood Control Channel, to improve tidal flow and flushing.

Dredging shall be restricted to existing tidal channels.  The encouragement of a scientific research program.

4. Proposed new development, including roadways, located adjacent to the wetlands of Paradise Marsh, the wetlands located west of the railroad which are not proposed for public

54 acquisition, the secondary area of Paradise Marsh, east of I-5, and the Sweetwater River south of 35th Street, shall be designed to discourage the intrusion of pedestrians, vehicles, or domestic animals into the marsh through physical barriers such as fencing and/or landscaping with appropriate non-invasive species. In association with new development or remodeling of existing development contiguous with the wetlands, including roadways, drainage shall be directed off-site toward the Sweetwater River Flood Control Channel, or to existing street drains, whenever possible, or channeled into a settling area before entering the marsh. Potential increase in the rate of storm-water runoff, which may result from new development, including roadways, adjacent to wetlands, shall be controlled by detention basins or other means to avoid impacts of erosion and sedimentation on wetlands. The size, design and placement of such sedimentation control devices shall be developed in consultation with state and federal resource agencies prior to or concurrent with the commencement of construction and shall be installed and maintained by the developer, or any successors in interest.

5. Wetlands in private ownership, which may be located in the CT, C and M, as well as OSR designated areas, shall be protected from development through the application of an overlay zone or other appropriate, implementing regulation proposed in Policy #1. Necessary protective measures, including adequate buffers, regulations regarding the design and siting of structures, etc., and open space easements shall be determined during review of proposals for development, by application of criteria to be specified in the LCP Implementation Plan.

6. Landscaping in areas adjacent to wetlands shall include plants only which are not invasive of wetlands.

7. Specific erosion control measures shall be approved, incorporated into development, be in place at the initial phase of work, monitored and maintained in conjunction with all grading activities, consistent with Section X (B) (4) (k) of the Implementation Plan, during the period of November 1 to April 1 of each year for all properties which drain directly to marsh and wetland areas. These properties shall include all properties located in the following areas:

All properties between 35th Street and the southern City limits; All properties in the area lying between 33rd Street, Hoover Avenue, 30th Street, and the MTS Trolley line;
All properties in the City’s jurisdiction located westerly of Highway I-5 and south of Bay Marina Drive.

56 CHAPTER VI

VISUAL RESOURCES

COASTAL ACT POLICIES
Section 30251 of the Coastal Act calls for the protection of the scenic and visual qualities of coastal areas, and, where feasible, to restore and enhance visual quality in visually degraded areas.

EXISTING CONDITIONS
The industrial character of National City’s Bayfront generally does not provide scenic values commonly associated with the natural resources of the Coastal Zone. Nonetheless, coastal industrial areas are essential to the economy of the City and region. Recreational facilities were added on the National City waterfront in the early 2000s with the construction of the National City Marina. The Balanced Plan includes the expansion of the existing Pepper Park, adds a dry boat storage facility, RV Park, and provides for future hotel projects. At the same time, it allows the marine-dependent industries to continue and to expand.

The Balanced Plan provides new scenic areas, vista points, and public access corridors. Within National City, the most notable scenic resource is Paradise Marsh and, under the Balanced Plan, the marsh is fully protected along with its public vista points.

The only public access area to the bay itself is from the existing boat launching ramp. Direct access to the bay is precluded by the National City Marine Terminal operated by the Port District. Pasha Automotive is an automobile importer and exporter with many land areas surrounding the Marine Terminal being used as car storage areas. Areas north of the terminal are typical small industrial facilities, as well as the Port’s maintenance center.

EXISTING PLANNING AND ZONING
National City’s General Plan includes policies for the protection of the Paradise Marsh, which provides aesthetic, as well as biologic values. Also of importance are policies which propose the upgrading of landscaping throughout the City. A specific policy proposes the construction and landscaping of special entryways to National City. It is proposed, as a part of this LCP, that this policy be applied to the recreational and commercial areas within the Coastal Zone. Appropriate landscaping should also be incorporated into proposed roadways, along Marina Way and adjacent to I-5 in order to provide an improved image and identity for the Paradise Marsh area.

National City’s Land Use Code contains a sign ordinance which adequately manages the quality of signage and recognizes the importance of using signage as waypoints to public coastal access.

The ordinance designates permitted signs in each zone, and establishes locational and size criteria.

The sign ordinance also identifies signs that are prohibited, which includes billboards, and establishes a procedure for the abatement of such non-conforming signs.

Of particular significance to any new development within National City’s Coastal Zone is the City’s Site Plan Review Ordinance. The ordinance requires that prior to the issuance of building

57 permits, accurately dimensioned architectural drawings and plot plans be submitted for the review and approval of the Planning Department. Review criteria includes, but is not limited to, the following:
 desirable site layout and design
 utility of open areas
 adequacy of landscaping
 compliance with general plan
It is important to note that National City’s site plan review far exceeds routine design review, in that both the Planning Department and Commission, on appeal, have the authority to deny site plans.

The tourist commercial designation and the Planned Development (PD) overlay zone is applied to the area north of Paradise Marsh and south of Bay Marina Drive, designated for commercial and recreational use in the Coastal Plan. The PD overlay requires approval by the Planning Commission, or City Council on appeal, for new project design, determined by a Planned Development permit. A Planned Development Permit may be approved, subject to consistency with the City’s zoning ordinance, if after public notice and hearing, required findings for approval are determined to be supported by project information or by required conditions of approval.

There are several elements of this project which will greatly enhance the visual quality of the area.

These elements are the creation of shoreline access and recreational features along the banks of the channel, the restoration of the connection between the Sweetwater River and Paradise Marsh, and the preservation of the marsh itself through acquisition. It should be noted that the enhancement of the area’s visual quality is really a secondary benefit resulting from the primary objectives of the area’s natural resources and providing recreational opportunities.

With respect to the appearance of access corridors, attention must be devoted to the Port District’s Master Plan. Tidelands Avenue south of Bay Marina Drive is the only existing access route to the proposed recreational areas of National City, and it is located almost entirely within the jurisdiction of the Port District.

ANALYSIS
The control of signs, attention to landscaping, enhancement of marsh areas and development of parks will all contribute to improving the visual quality of National City’s shoreline areas and should be actively encouraged. However, the single action that would have the most significant beneficial visual impact on the area will be the development of the proposed recreational and commercial areas contained in the Balanced Plan. In order to create an environment that will be a successful public attraction, it is essential that attention not only be devoted to the ultimate use of the area, but also to its appearance. The mandatory application of the City’s site plan review procedure to a single, large scale development would ensure that the development of this critical area is of the highest aesthetic quality. The Planned Development Permit requirement would ensure public review for proposed projects. Additional control would be gained by applying a

58 Specific Plan requirement, particularly if further land divisions are proposed. It could also address the need for construction of the roadway concurrent with recreational and commercial development in the area west of Paradise Marsh and north of the Sweetwater River Channel.

Further, it is recommended that the General Plan policy proposing the construction of landscaped entryways be implemented for Bay Marina Drive.

POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS

1. To ensure that the Army Corps of Engineer’s Sweetwater River Flood Control project improves the scenic resources of the area, National City shall support and encourage the project as proposed with the following mitigations.
 the restoration of the marsh connections with the Sweetwater River, and  the development of shoreline recreational features along the banks of the flood control channel

2. To ensure that the development of the proposed commercial and recreational area adjacent to Paradise Marsh west of the Bayshore Bikeway is of the highest aesthetic quality, the City shall require that the development of the site shall be in accordance with development standards and requirements to be determined by a Specific Plan for the area. The Specific Plan shall determine appropriate height limits, landscape elements, signage, and view protection and enhancement, consistent with the policies of the Land Use Plan. Vistas shall be provided from public roadways and public open space areas to Paradise Marsh and the Sweetwater River Flood Control Channel. Height limits shall be established as determined necessary to provide for focal points in key activity areas.

3. The design improvements identified in the Balanced Plan shall include landscape elements, signage, and architectural elements or criteria, such as height, scale, bulk, color, and building materials.

4. To ensure that new development throughout the Coastal Zone is visually appropriate, projects shall be reviewed for conformance to City standards for building aesthetics and materials, height, signage, and landscaping. Project design shall also be reviewed with regard to other appropriate visual elements identified through the development review process.

59 CHAPTER VII

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT

COASTAL ACT POLICIES
Sections 30232, 30250(b), 30255, and 30260-64 of the Coastal Act provide guidelines for industrial facilities, tanker facilities, liquefied natural gas terminals, oil and gas development, refineries, and electrical generating plants. Sections 30255 and 30260 establish locational criteria for coastal-dependent industrial development.

BACKGROUND
The following explanation of coastal-dependent and related industries is excerpted from the Unified Port District’s Master Plan, and is included to provide the reader with a basic understanding of marine related industrial uses.

Marine related industry requires sites within close proximity to water because of functional dependencies for access to waterborne products, processes, raw materials or large volumes of water. The primary users of marine related industrial areas are dependent upon large ships, deep water and specialized loading and unloading facilities, typically associated with ship building and repair, processing plants and marine terminal operations. Other activities suitable for marine related industrial areas include railroad switching and spur tracks, cargo handling equipment (such as bulk loaders and container cranes), berthing facilities, warehouses, silos and fueling facilities, ship building, repair and conversion yards, steel fabrication and foundry, storage, repair and maintenance of marine machinery and construction equipment, kelp and seafood processing, canning and packaging, and aquaculture. Support industries linked to these primary industrial activities can be clustered together to capitalize on the benefits of reduced material handling costs, reduced on-site storage requirements, faster deliveries, and a reduction of industrial traffic on public roads.

EXISTING CONDITIONS
National City’s portion of the Coastal Zone includes two separate areas that are characterized by industrial development. The most heavily industrialized area is located west of I-5. It is almost entirely developed with medium industrial uses, and is designated “MM” (Medium Manufacturing) on the Combined General Plan/Zoning Map, with an isolated area of “MH” (Heavy Manufacturing). The area is well served by truck access via I-5, rail access, and ship access through Port District lands.

The proximity of the Port lands is significant to this area because of the intense industrial activity which is generated. The National City Marine Terminal is one of only two terminals within the Port, and is the only one capable of expansion. The north wharf of the terminal is primarily used for the shipment of scrap metal and the receipt of petroleum products. Due to continuing increases in terminal operations, needs for additional berthing facilities are being created. The proposals contained in the Port’s Master Plan to respond to this need would more than double berthing space at the National City Marine Terminal, and add a second container crane. The area located to the

60 rear of the Marine Terminal is used almost exclusively for the storage and handling of lumber and wood products.

The other industrial area within National City’s Coastal Zone is the Sweetwater industrial area which is 160 acres in size and located east of I-5. The entire central portion of this area has been reserved for the joint Army Corps/CALTRANS Sweetwater River flood control channel and Highway 54 project. This area is virtually all developed with light industrial uses and some commercial areas fronting on National City Boulevard.

EXISTING PLANNING AND ZONING
National City’s zoning ordinance contains four zones which implement the General Plan designation of industrial. Those zones are:
 light manufacturing (ML) zone
 medium manufacturing (MM) zone
 heavy manufacturing (MH) zone, and
 tidelands manufacturing (MT) zone
The purpose of the different zones is to designate compatible groupings of industrial uses and assign them appropriate zoning categories and locations. As the name of the different zones would imply, the intensity of the industrial use, in terms of both input and output, is the criterion utilized to segregate the various uses. Light manufacturing areas are located near residential and commercial uses, thereby creating a transition to more intense industrial uses. Examples of light manufacturing uses would include cabinet shops, electronics and appliance assembly, and auto body repair. Medium and heavy manufacturing areas would include such uses as petroleum recycling, steel fabrication and salvage areas. The other industrial zone is the tidelands manufacturing (MT) zone, which is coterminous with the jurisdiction of the Unified Port District.

Although the City of National City does not retain land use authority over this area, the zone does identify those uses which would be compatible with Section 19 of the San Diego Unified Port District Act.

National City’s zoning ordinance specifies permitted and conditional uses for the different industrial zone classifications, and also lists uses that are prohibited. In addition, the ordinance outlines a comprehensive set of development standards which establish design parameters.

Standards are set forth for lot area, frontage, setbacks, aesthetics and materials, height, floor area ratio, lot coverage, parking, signing, and landscaping.

ANALYSIS
As discussed previously, National City’s Coastal Zone is characterized by industrial development, much of which is related to the proximity of the Port’s marine terminal activities. Due, in large part to the attraction of the marine terminal, virtually all of the industrial zoned land in National City’s Bayfront has been developed. New industrial development and redevelopment will occur as older residential uses are eliminated; however, the assemblage of parcels large enough to accommodate and attract major industrial uses will be difficult. Taken together with the fact that

61 National City has no direct bay frontage, the imposition of a policy giving preference only to marine related industrial use could be unnecessarily burdensome.

In most situations, the free market should adequately handle the allocation of available industrial land to marine related industrial uses. The reason being that industrial uses that benefit from a coastal oriented location will compete more effectively for such parcels. However, a land use policy which would allow the free market to operate with the minimum regulatory intervention, and would also achieve consistency with the objectives of the Coastal Act for coastal dependent industrial activity would be advisable. Such a policy would only be applicable in situations where different industrial uses are competing for land, and in such instances would assign priority to marine related industry.

POLICY RECOMMENDATION

1. In the event that different industrial land uses are competing for available industrial land, priority shall be given to marine-dependent industrial uses.

62 CHAPTER VIII

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

COASTAL ACT POLICIES
Section 30253 (a) of the Coastal Act requires that new development minimize risks in areas of high geologic, flood and fire hazard.

EXISTING CONDITIONS
Potential sources of hazards within National City’s jurisdiction of the Coastal Zone include land settlement hazards, seismic hazards, sea level rise, and flood hazards.

Settlement hazards in the area result from the presence of soft, sedimentary soil in the low lying areas, including areas of fill over bay/alluvium deposits. Bay mud has an almost liquid consistency and makes a poor foundation material.

No active faults are located within the area. Nearby, local faults include the northwest trending Rose Canyon fault, the Sweetwater fault and the La Nacion fault. The Rose Canyon fault is traceable as a fault zone from offshore at La Jolla to a point about 5 miles north of National City’s Coastal Zone and is thought to extend through San Diego Bay to the Mexican border. The Sweetwater fault runs north-south along the eastern edge of National City, about 2 miles east of the coastal zone. The La Nacion fault also runs north-south, about a mile further east.

The Rose Canyon fault would be the most probable local source for a serious earthquake. The most severe shaking for the San Diego area occurred on May 27, 1982, possibly in the Rose Canyon fault zone, with a magnitude of 5.7 to 6.0. Seismic hazards to the area may also be expected from movement on the Elsinore fault zone, located about 40 miles to the east, with a maximum probable magnitude of 7.3.

The loose soils in the area are subject to potentially severe shaking from a magnitude 5.9 local earthquake. Older one-story buildings in the area would not provide great potential for damage.

Newer buildings constructed in accordance with the Uniform Building Code would be expected to provide for specified safety standards. Other seismic-related hazards include subsidence, liquefaction and lateral spreading (movement of soil materials toward an unsupported slope, i.e. along stream channels. Ground rupture is considered a remote but possible earthquake occurrence related to movement on the nearby rose Canyon fault.

Other possible seismic hazards include tsunamis, sea waves generated by offshore, submarine earthquakes, and searching, surface waves within adjacent landlocked water bodies.

Flood hazards in the area result from natural watercourses, including Paradise Creek and the Sweetwater River. Within National City’s Coastal Zone areas of potential flooding include the Paradise Marsh wetlands in Subareas I and III, and other low lying areas in Subarea III (Sweetwater industrial area). Completion of the U.S. Army corps of Engineers Sweetwater River Flood Control Project will mitigate this flooding hazard.

63 Sea Level Rise
As mentioned previously, the City currently has no residential development within its Coastal Zone and very few properties are impacted by sea level rise due to the distances between the bay and development. Additionally, there are very few properties that are available for either redevelopment or new development within the City’s Coastal Zone. The City will review each project to determine if any proposed development may be impacted by sea level rise, consistent with the Commission’s most recently adopted sea level rise guidance:

1. Acknowledge and address sea level rise as necessary in the General Plan and CDP decisions.

2. Use the best available science to determine City relevant and context-specific sea level rise projections for all stages of planning, project design, and permitting reviews.

3. Use a precautionary approach by planning and providing adaptive capacity for the higher end of the range of possible sea level rise when supported by updated sea level rise modeling.

4. Design adaptation strategies according to City conditions and existing development patterns, in accordance with the Coastal Act and the City’s LCP policies.

5. Avoid significant coastal hazard risks to new development where feasible.

6. Minimize hazard risks to new development over the life of authorized structures.

7. Minimize coastal hazard risks and resource impacts when making redevelopment decisions.

8. Account for the social, economic, and environmental justice needs of the people of the City; assure priority for coastal-dependent and coastal-related development over other development.

9. Ensure that property owners understand and assume the risks, and mitigate the coastal resource impacts, of new development in flood hazardous areas.

10. Provide for maximum protection of coastal resources in all coastal planning and regulatory decisions.

11. Where applicable, maximize natural shoreline values and processes; avoid expansion and minimize the perpetuation of shoreline armoring.

12. Recognize that sea level rise will cause the public trust boundary to move inland. Protect public trust lands and resources, including as sea level rises. New shoreline protective devices should not result in the loss of public trust lands such as the Paradise Marsh.

64 13. Address other potential coastal resource impacts (wetlands, habitat, agriculture, scenic, etc.) from hazard management decisions, consistent with the Coastal Act and the LCP.

14. Address the cumulative impacts and City context of planning and permitting decisions.

15. Require mitigation of unavoidable coastal resource impacts related to permitting and shoreline management decisions.

16. Consider best available information on resource valuation when mitigating coastal resource impacts.

17. Coordinate planning and City decision making with other appropriate other local, or state and federal agencies.

18. Identify funding options for conducting and updating vulnerability assessments.

19. Provide for maximum public participation in the Coastal planning and other regulatory processes.

65 EXISTING PLANNING AND ZONING
The Natural Setting Section of National City’s Updated General Plan contains several policies which address environmental hazards. For example:

Policy A The City will enforce appropriate development regulations concerning geologic, soils and seismic hazards, and will monitor regional conditions, such as fault activity, which pertain to National City.

Policy B The City will explore necessary measures to protect areas in danger from sea level and flood hazards.

Policy C Assessment of potential flood and drainage impacts will be required of all major new developments. When significant impacts are identified, the project will provide adequate mitigation either directly or will provide the means for financing necessary public drainage improvements.

Implementation Policy 1 Maintain and improve the City’s participation in regional planning for natural hazards, such as earthquakes and floods, and evaluate any new circumstances that may apply to National City.

Implementation Policy 2 Monitor any new information concerning the Sweetwater Fault, currently judged inactive, which runs through the far eastern portions of the City, and the La Nacion Fault, judged potentially active, which is less than a mile east of the City limits.

Implementation Policy 3 Revise and enforce appropriate development regulations as necessary to comply with recognized standards for protection from geologic, soils and seismic hazards, to ensure public safety.

Implementation Policy 4 Ensure through development regulations that proposed new development adequately provides for on- and off- site mitigation of potential flood hazards and drainage problems.

National City’s Combined General Plan/Zoning Map applies the Floodway designation to land within the City that is vulnerable to flooding and subject to special, protective development regulations. The designated areas conform to the areas of special flood hazard identified by the Federal Insurance Administration.

The Army Corps of Engineers is constructing flood control channel improvements to alleviate flood hazards from the Sweetwater River. The area of the flood control channel is designated as open space by National City’s Combined General Plan/Zoning Map.

66 ANALYSIS
Environmental hazards in National City’s Coastal Zone are not substantially different from other areas in the City, except for area of fill over bay/alluvium deposits. General Plan policies and implementing ordinances address environmental hazards. Building permit applications require site plan review by the Planning Department, which incorporates concerns of other City Departments, i.e., Building, Fire, Police and Engineering. Uniform Building Code requirements address adequacy of soils for proposed construction and adequacy of proposed construction with regard to seismic hazards. Additional policies are recommended to address geologic hazard in the coastal area.

POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Consistent with the above sea level rise policies, review of new development for potential flood, seismic ,and geologic hazards by the City shall determine necessary improvements to minimize risk during the site plan review process, or during any applicable, discretionary review process.

2. Geotechnical reports shall be required for new development in areas subject to geologic hazard.

3. Waivers of liability shall be required from applicants for coastal development permits in areas of geologic hazard.

4. Prior to the development of the parcels on both sides of the existing Sweetwater River Channel, south of 35th Street, a sea level flood hazard study shall be conducted, based upon design criteria anticipating the potential flood hazard remaining after the construction of the Sweetwater River Flood Control channel or from a 100-year flood, whichever is applicable at the time of development. Only development consistent with the recommendations of the study shall be approved for the area. Specific development policies shall be provided in the Implementation Plan. The policies shall stress provision of adequate setbacks to minimize the amount of fill necessary for flood protection, and no armoring or channelization of the existing river channel for flood protection shall be allowed.
