AGENDA REPORT
Department: Engineering & Public Works
Prepared by: Ricardo Rodriguez, Associate Engineer-Civil Meeting Date: Tuesday, October 6, 2026
Approved by: Douglas J. Schulze, City Manager
SUBJECT:

Amending a Restricted Grant Agreement with the State of California Department of Transportation for the Clean California Local Grant Program for the National City Eastside I-805 Community Greenbelt Project CIP No. 22-09.

RECOMMENDATION:

Not Applicable.

EXPLANATION:

On February 1, 2022, the City of National City (City) submitted a Clean California Local Grant Program grant application in the amount of $4,998,761 for the National City Eastside I-805 Community Greenbelt Project, CIP 22-09. The project, which provides a combination of public right-of-way, multi-use path, and local park improvements, is located to the east of and parallel to Interstate 805 between Division Street and 4th Street, continuing along neighborhood streets to Plaza Boulevard. The project implemented a greenbelt connecting the neighborhoods on the east side of Interstate 805, north of Division Street, to El Toyon Elementary School, Rancho de la Nacion Elementary School, El Toyon Park, and local shopping centers. Project improvements include new paved paths for bikes and pedestrians, traffic calming measures, lighting, landscaping, fencing, educational signage, and a pedestrian plaza with public art elements at the corner of Euclid Avenue and Plaza Boulevard paying tribute to Filipino American heritage in National City.

On March 8, 2022, the State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) notified the City the National City Eastside I-805 Community Greenbelt Project had been awarded full funding in the amount of $4,998,761, with a $20,000 in-kind contribution from the City, for a total project cost of $5,018,761.

On June 21, 2022, City Council, per Resolution No. 2022-114, accepted the Clean California Local Grant Program grant in the amount of $4,998,761 for the project and authorized the execution of a Restricted Grant Agreement (Agreement) with Caltrans. The period of performance to deliver the project was originally set to end on December 31, 2024 and required that all work be completed by June 30, 2024.

Page 61 of 483 ends

During the design phase of the project, City staff and project team members worked closely with Caltrans staff to modify the project alignment near El Toyon Park due to right-of-way constraints and other constructability challenges. Design was finalized in late 2023, construction began in early 2024. The changes to the project scope and extent of the improvements did not preclude the project from meeting the grant goals and outcomes that the City originally outlined.

On August 5, 2025, City Council, per Resolution No. 2025-81, authorized the City Manager to execute an amendment needed to document the project scope changes and formalize the extension of the Agreement through December 31, 2025. All work was completed by June 30, 2025, which allowed for full reimbursement of eligible project expenditures.

Staff has worked diligently with Caltrans to perform all follow up reporting and documentation.

This third and final amendment seeks only a time extension, so that the City can submit all project closeout documents and final invoices. The amendment will extend the grant performance period by revising the Agreement expiration date from December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2027.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT:

The amendment to the agreement is for a time extension only and does not result in any changes to grant funding or the budget for the project.

A.1 PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
The proposed project is a combination of public right-of-way, multi-use pathway, and local park improvements. The project is located in the City of National City along the east side of Interstate 805 between Division Street and Plaza Boulevard. It addresses ongoing issues related to waste, debris, underutilized public right-of-way, safety, and comfort. The project is intended to kickoff a grand vision of implementing a greenbelt for the neighborhoods on the east side of Interstate 805 between Alpha Street and the Sweetwater Bike Path. The greenbelt will be comprised of a multi-modal transportation network of a multi-use path, bike route, revitalized public spaces, and related street safety improvements that will connect people to major destinations such as El Toyon Elementary School, El Toyon Park, shopping centers, and the Sweetwater Bike Path, a regional recreational and commuting corridor. For the purposes of this grant application, the City intends to address the parks, recreation, and commuting needs of underserved residents that live, work, and play between Division Street and Plaza Boulevard.

The four goals of the Clean CA Grant perfectly match the vision National City sees along this corridor.

The City strategically chose elements of waste cleanup, enhancement, beautification, improving public health, placemaking, and advancing equity in underserved communities to communicate to both Caltrans and their constituents that improvements along the project corridor will positively transform the space for current and future generations.

A portion of the budget includes art installation opportunities within the project. The City maintains strong communication with their local art advocates, specifically the ARTS Center (A Reason To Survive). Their mission is to “Lift young people in the South County region of San Diego to become confident, compassionate, and courageous community builders through the transformative power of creativity” and their Vision statement is “To create a center for arts and culture in the borderland region that empowers families and community members to build healthy, resilient, and equitable communities.” ARTS has several installations throughout National City and this project contains several art, gateway, and community identification opportunities to explore. For example, unique wayfinding monument signs and/or interpretive elements at a pedestrian scale to creatively inform people about the project. Another local community partner for the City is the Vision Zero Foundation, which will

Page 87 of 483 ends

Revised 5/27/2025
provide artwork for street-side utility boxes. Potential locations for the installation of locally-created art include the multi-use path, and the intersections of Division Street, 4th Street, and Plaza Boulevard.

The project will be executed in coordination with Caltrans as a generous portion of the proposed project is directly adjacent to the Caltrans right-of-way associated with Interstate 805. The City has maintained strong communication with the Caltrans District 11 to ensure that the proposed project exceeds the goals of the Clean CA Grant while not negatively impacting their operations.

A.2 DEMONSTRATED COMMUNITY NEED
The City has unfortunately experienced chronic waste and debris buildup along the proposed project boundary. The areas adjacent to the Caltrans right-of-way contain varying slopes, dense vegetation, lack of lighting, and lack of visibility, therefore making it “ideal” for people to leave waste and debris behind carelessly or purposefully. If the City is awarded the grant, the Public Works department will have the monetary resources to clean up the area and prepare the site for the proposed multi-use path and community spaces. The work will include careful sifting of potentially hazardous waste, general trash, thinning dense vegetation, and trimming overgrown trees.

One of the City’s main goals to address with this grant is to implement several beautification elements once the waste, debris, and dense vegetation is addressed. Beautification is integrated with the multiuse path being proposed. Greening elements such as bioswales with native, and drought-tolerant landscaping, use of attractive boulders or cobbles, and trees. Pedestrian-scale lighting, fencing, and interpretive signage are all beatification elements that also enhance safety and comfort for path users.

The City understands that all project elements being proposed need to be implemented to truly transform the space into one that people of all ages and abilities will be eager to use.

While the City prefers to construct a Class 1 path, as defined in Caltrans HDM Chapter 1000, the width and slope requirements are not achievable along the entire alignment due to the limitations of the terrain and also the need to remain entirely outside of the Caltrans right of way. The final alignment of the multi-use path also limits the area available for more significant landscape rehabilitation.

The project also includes street beautification and safety improvements along Plaza Boulevard.

Improvements along the quarter mile stretch of Plaza Boulevard would provide a vital connection to the proposed Class 3 bike route and accessible sidewalk upgrades. The design includes adding street trees, intersection improvements (high-visibility crosswalks), and wayfinding signage. The northeastern terminus of these streetscape improvements would include transforming a flat, under-utilized dirt corner into a community plaza dedicated to the Filipino community that has tremendous history in National City and the South Bay. The City wishes to use a portion of the grant for the design and installation of hardscape, landscaping, pedestrian-scale lighting, fencing, and interpretive signage. This is a great opportunity for the City to involve neighborhood champions and other local organizations such as ARTS to guide the design of this community space.

The City also wishes to use a portion of this grant to design and build another community plaza space adjacent to the proposed multi-use path at 4th Street and El Toyon Park. Like the plaza space described above, the design will include installation of hardscape, landscaping, seating, pedestrianscale lighting, and interpretive signage. This space is located within El Toyon Park and the proposed multi-use paths in the project would connect people to this plaza space.

The project is focused on improving the public health, recreation, and transportation choices people have in this neighborhood. The proposed multi-use path is a direct response to improving walking and biking for both recreational and commuting purposes. It builds upon an existing small stretch of a multiuse path that has experienced degradations and one that is substandard by today’s Caltrans design standards. The proposed path would allow people to go on casual strolls to and from nearby community destinations such as the elementary schools, park, and shopping centers. The City also acknowledges that recent surveys conducted by the National Recreation and Parks Association show

Page 88 of 483 ends

Revised 5/27/2025
that linear recreation (walking, biking, strolling, and rolling) is the number one desired recreation activity by communities across the nation. Surveys such as this have encouraged National City to continue designing and implementing multi-use paths, bikeways, and urban trails whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Furthermore, the proposed project will improve placemaking within this neighborhood. Interpretive signage, planting material, fencing designs, and paving designs will be connected to the diverse community that lives and plays near the project site. Lastly, public health improvements go beyond the exercise element of this project. The proposed bioswales, trees, and other landscape rehabilitation spaces would positively contribute to greenhouse gas reduction.

Communities that are within a quarter mile of the project site include the neighborhoods of Rancho de la Nacion, Palmer Way, Ira Harbison, and Las Palmas. Census tracts within a quarter mile of the project site were identified to determine whether the community was qualified as underserved. To determine if the communities are underserved, census tracts were evaluated based on several criteria:
area median income, CalEnviroScreen, National School Lunch Program, and Healthy Places Index. It was determined that most of the communities are underserved in the criteria mentioned above; however, the data based on area median income identified the census tracts that are disproportionally underserved the most. For example, the census tracts that falls directly within the project site contains a community where 71% of the residents fell below the City’s median household income.

The proposed project will have multiple benefits that serve the immediate and surrounding neighborhoods. Benefits related to the environment, health, and economy can be forecasted if project elements get implemented. For example, the 0.31 mile proposed multi-use path can help the local community reduce usage and dependency on cars which would result in reduced greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. Vehicle-generated air pollution contains harmful greenhouse gas emissions, and these pollutants and irritants can cause asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, and decreased resistance to respiratory infections. The addition of native landscape and trees would also help combat air pollution.

National Recreation and Park Associate (NRPA) survey data shows that three in four U.S. adults want public walking, biking, and hiking trails close to home. Access to these kinds of resources would give people much-needed recreation and exercise options. The proposed multi-use path and the associated intersection improvements (high-visibility crosswalks, signalized crossing, and signage) would help satisfy the linear recreation demands of the community. These active transportation improvements can also have economic benefits to the local community. Converting even a fraction of the car trips to and from El Toyon Elementary Schools, El Toyon Park, or the local shopping destinations to bicycling or walking can generate transportation-related savings, reduce vehicle traffic congestion, and contribute to a healthier lifestyle. Active transportation infrastructure, clean and attractive parks, and a branded community that celebrates its local cultural identity have been tied to increases in commercial and residential property values as well as retail sales.

The percentage of funds that will benefit the community would be 100%. The proposed project is an inclusive and multi-purpose project that aims to equitably address infrastructure gaps in the underserved communities identified in this grant.

A.3 PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT
The City prides itself in delivering effective public engagement strategies for all of their public projects, and this grant pursuit was no exception. The City worked with their design team to conduct two workshops, create an online project survey, social media announcements, and a presentation to the Parks, Recreation, & Senior Citizens Advisory (PRSCA) Committee. The team created outreach materials in English and Spanish that were branded with the Clean CA Grant title to clearly communicate that the feedback collected for the project site would be part of this grant application.

Page 89 of 483 ends

Revised 5/27/2025
The team participated in the City’s Holiday festival on December 11, 2021. Over 65 individuals stopped by the project booth to talk with the team about the proposed project. Community members were able to provide written feedback on large, high-resolution aerial maps as well as participate in a sticker voting exercise on various display boards. (See photos in Attachment N). Display boards were organized by topic to help the community make thoughtful voting decisions on potential project elements. The team repeated this strategy at a pop-up workshop that took place on December 18, 2021 at El Toyon Park. This park is included within the proposed project, so the team wanted to make sure the immediate neighborhood had an opportunity to weigh in on what they’d like to see implemented. The team spoke with several residents, including a PRSCA Committee member, and asked them to vote on their desired amenities.

The two workshops, the online survey, social media announcements, and communication with the PRSCA Committee allowed the City to narrow down the project site (originally much larger and longer than what is being submitted) and to ensure the elements that were highly requested (waste cleanup, pedestrian lighting, multi-use path) were included. The votes were tallied, open-ended comments were reviewed, and the project scope was narrowed down to reflect and balance the community’s desires with the $5million grant limit.

The outreach efforts that were specific to this application (November 2021-January 2022) supplement previous planning efforts and recently completed projects within and adjacent to the project site. For example, the City recently added buffered Class 2 bike lanes with green transition striping to two of the streets that connect to the proposed project. The City also received news of a Prop 68 grant award for El Toyon Park improvements. The money awarded from Prop 68 grant will be used for playground, landscape, and other safety improvements. The City believes this Clean CA grant would create fantastic momentum as well as build confidence with the community that improvements to the neighborhood in this part of National City are being made a priority.

Other recently completed plans that reference improvements to this area include the City’s 2020 Integrating Neighborhoods with Transportation Routes for All Connections (INTRAConnect) project.

This project is about creating a healthy and vibrant environment for residents of National City.

Improvements focus on the principal of 10-minute Neighborhoods and how land use planning and transportation planning should always go hand in hand. Several chapters of this document reference the neighborhood the project is within, depicting the ongoing support and desire for improvements.

Extensive public outreach (18 workshops) was conducted as part of this planning effort in 2019-2020.

Other related plans within the past eight years includes a Safe Routes to School study that identified pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure improvements within our project boundary. The City has implemented many of these recommendations, but additional funding would help address any gaps such as first-last mile improvements near transit stops located on Plaza Boulevard.

A.4 PROJECT DELIVERABILITY
Construction has been estimated to take about 18 months for completion to allow for potential delays such as (Permitting/Right-of-Way) and to allow for flexibility to ensure the project is completed by June 30, 2024. Under the supervision of the City Engineer, the City manages a five-year $70M Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and has delivered similar projects over the last decade. The City has received 82 competitive grant awards for a total of over $76M in grant funds, all of which were managed and implemented on time. Additionally, the City’s Capital Improvement Program has received 29 distinguished project awards from industry professionals.

National City recently finished construction for the Paradise Creek Park Site Remediation & Improvements Project at the end of March 2021, which included a new 4-acre community park, walking pathways, and water quality basin. The City secured over $1.3M of grant funding from the California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) for this project. Additionally, National City finished construction of

Page 90 of 483 ends

Revised 5/27/2025
Paradise Creek Water Quality and Community Enhancements, a water quality treatment basin and creek restoration project, at the end of March 2021. The City has already secured $3.6M in funding for Phase 2 of that project. More information on the City’s Capital Improvement Program and projects are available on the City’s CIP Projects Dashboard at
https://www.nationalcityca.gov/government/engineering-public-works.

The City will coordinate with Caltrans on any necessary Encroachment Permits. The team will establish a recurring meeting with appropriate Caltrans functional groups, to ensure a speedy project review and approval, and ultimately transition to the Encroachment Permit division for permit issuance. All City of National City right-of-way permits will be over-the-counter for this type of City initiated project.

The City does not anticipate any risks associated with opening the proposed projects to the public. The goal of this application is to address existing risks such as the waste, debris, and dense vegetation, so everything designed and built with the awarded money will help ensure safety and comfort for all the users of the proposed spaces. The City commits to ongoing public communication and presence throughout the project site. Social media announcements, city personnel, and local neighborhood champions will help educate and encourage the public to use the space.

Pre-construction work will include several elements including: a thorough assessment of the type of waste and debris to ensure appropriate cleaning protocols are implemented, a topographic and utilities survey and a traffic study to ensure the proposed intersection improvements (rectangular rapid flashing beacon, and/or high-visibility crosswalk) are designed appropriately. Based on their vast experience with winning and implementing federal, state, and local grants the City is comfortable navigating the design and construction phases of the grant to ensure all deadlines and fiscal management tasks are completed. Additional pre-construction elements include CEQA, Right-of-Way Certification, Caltrans Encroachment Permits, development of 100% construction plans, specifications, revised cost estimates and additional community outreach.

A.5 ADVANCE PAYMENT
N/A
A.6 MARKETING PLAN
The proposed project will include marketing materials and resources dedicated to keeping the city at large and the immediate neighborhood informed of project milestones. Maintaining transparency and clear communication with the public is standard protocol for all City projects. Items such as flyers, fact sheets, social media posts, mailed postcards, and updates to the City’s website will be included. The Public Information Officer will coordinate with the Public Works department and the City Manager’s offices to develop a communications plan for design and construction of the project. The City will also conduct a ribbon cutting at the onset of construction and an opening ceremony for the proposed multiuse path and community plaza spaces. The opening ceremony will include public officials, representative from Caltrans District 11, the local community, and the design team. Group walking and biking tours will also be scheduled to highlight the project.

Page 91 of 483 ends

Revised 5/27/2025
A.7 MAINTENACE PLAN
The City understands that $5 million is a major investment requiring ongoing maintenance to ensure healthy lifespan of all project elements. The City is committed to ongoing weekly and monthly maintenance for the proposed multi-use path and the community spaces that are within the City’s boundary. The project’s physical appearance after construction is critical to maintaining the confidence of the local community and ensuring all people feel safe and comfortable walking, biking, or relaxing in the spaces. Maintenance and lifespan factors were considered for the proposed design of the multi-use path. Additional maintenance will include landscape trimming when needed, clearing of the multi-use path of overgrown vegetation or hazardous materials, monthly checks on all pedestrian lighting and fences to ensure they are not being tampered with, and general debris cleanup via electric leaf blowers for the path and community plaza spaces. The City will coordinate with the El Toyon Parks and Recreation maintenance staff to ensure that the new projects elements that are within their city limits fit into their maintenance schedule.

The proposed project will also include a standard plant establishment period with the selected contractor.

A 90 to 120-day maintenance/plant establishment period (the time after installation and before final signoff of the project) will be part of the contract. The City will also look into a 1-year warranty period for all plant materials over the 15-gallon size.

AGENDA REPORT
Department: Human Resources
Prepared by: Rex Sanders, Interim Human Resources Director Meeting Date: Tuesday, October 6, 2026
Approved by: Douglas J. Schulze, City Manager
SUBJECT:

Approve the Creation of Three (3) New Job Classifications Titled Assistant Emergency Medical Coordinator, Paramedic (EMT-P) and Emergency Medical Technician (EMT).

RECOMMENDATION:

On July 8, 2026, the National City Civil Service Commission approved the new Assistant Emergency Medical Coordinator, Paramedic (EMT-P) and Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) job classifications (Exhibits A-C).

EXPLANATION:

The City Council has approved the implementation of the Ambulance Transport Services Program to be operated by the National City Fire Department. To support implementation of this program, the Fire Department is establishing the personnel framework necessary to provide ambulance operations, emergency medical response, EMS program administration, quality improvement, training, and regulatory compliance.

As outlined in the Department's ALS Ambulance Operational Plan, the City intends to operate three (3) twenty-four-hour Advanced Life Support (ALS) ambulances as its primary emergency medical transport resources. Each ambulance will be staffed with one (1) Paramedic and one (1) Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). In addition to these field operations, the Department’s EMS Division will provide oversight of ambulance operations, quality assurance and improvement, training, regulatory compliance, and overall system performance management.

To support these operational and administrative functions, the Department is proposing the establishment of three related but distinct job classifications: Assistant EMS Coordinator, Paramedic (EMT-P), and Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). Each classification addresses a specific component of the City’s municipal EMS delivery system and establishes the appropriate classification framework for the work that will be performed.

The Assistant EMS Coordinator classification provides technical, administrative, and programmatic support to the EMS program. This classification supports quality assurance and quality improvement activities, EMS data review, regulatory compliance, exposure management, training coordination, EMS supply and inventory management, and liaison work with hospitals, agencies, vendors, and other EMS stakeholders.

Page 100 of 483 ends

The Paramedic (EMT-P) classification provides advanced life support services within the scope of California paramedic licensure and San Diego County EMS accreditation. This classification supports emergency medical response, patient assessment, advanced medical interventions, patient care documentation, ambulance operations, emergency vehicle response, equipment readiness, and related Fire Department operational duties.

The Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) classification provides basic life support services within the scope of California EMT certification and applicable San Diego County EMS requirements. This classification supports emergency medical response, patient care and transport, basic life support interventions, patient care documentation, ambulance operations, emergency vehicle response, equipment readiness, and related Fire Department operational duties.

Together, these classifications establish the staffing structure necessary to support the City's municipally operated ambulance transport system. The classifications provide the personnel resources needed to support field operations, EMS program management, quality assurance, training, regulatory compliance, and the delivery of reliable emergency medical transport services to the community.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT:

Approval of the proposed classifications establishes the job classifications necessary to support the Ambulance Transport program. Approval of the classifications does not, by itself, authorize the filling of positions or create additional appropriations beyond those approved through the City’s budget and personnel authorization processes.

Any salary, staffing, or budget impacts associated with filling positions in these classifications will be addressed through the appropriate budget, salary schedule, and hiring authorization processes.

AGENDA REPORT
Department: Human Resources
Prepared by: Rex Sanders, Interim Human Resources Director Meeting Date: Tuesday, October 6, 2026
Approved by: Douglas J. Schulze, City Manager
SUBJECT:

Approve a Resolution amending the Existing Agreement with Liebert Cassidy Whitmore to Increase Contract Authority for Labor, Employment, Personnel, and Training-Related Legal Services.

RECOMMENDATION:

Not Applicable.

EXPLANATION:

The City manages a complex public-sector employment environment. Labor negotiations, employee relations, workplace investigations, performance improvement, corrective action, and due process, policy compliance, public-sector training, and employment-law advice often require specialized legal support. Liebert Cassidy Whitmore has historically provided that specialized support to the City of National City.

The City is currently in contract with an LCW under an existing five-year agreement that remains in effect starting June 21, 2022 through June 21, 2027. The item before Council is a request to increase the authorized compensation under that existing agreement.

On August 19, 2025, a prior item involving Liebert Cassidy Whitmore was presented to the City Council for consideration. Following discussion, the City Council delayed action and requested that the item return at a future meeting to allow Human Resources additional time to review the City’s LCW agreements and provide additional information regarding LCW costs and history. The item did not return to the City Council at that time.

This amendment is needed for two reasons.

First, during the period of the contract, City management requested LCW perform services under the existing agreement that exceeded the available contract authority originally set at $50,000.

This Council action will increase the contract authority to align the agreement’s authorized compensation with the paid activity already recorded.

Page 113 of 483 ends

Second, the City needs specialized labor and employment legal support through the remaining term of the agreement. The requested amendment also provides prospective authority so the City may continue using LCW for appropriate labor, employment, personnel, and training-related legal services through June 21, 2027.

Following City Council’s prior direction, Human Resources reviewed available Finance records to provide a recent cost history. The attached report focuses on the most recent five fiscal years, FY2021-22 through FY2025-26. This five-year lookback provides Council with relevant spending context.

The five-year review reflects that LCW services were not limited to one narrow issue. Available records show use of LCW for personnel matters, labor and employment legal advice, training, FLSA-related work, workplace and HR-related matters, policy and compliance support, and other related services. Some invoices and descriptions may involve privileged attorney-client communications, confidential personnel matters, litigation strategy, or labor negotiations strategy.

The available five-year payment records reviewed by staff identify approximately $588,239.62 in LCW-related payments or recorded paid activity over an approximate four fiscal year (FY) period during FY2021-22 through FY2025-26 through three separate contracts with the City. For this specific contract, the City incurred a total of $253,907.

Approval of the amendment will allow the City to do three things: align the existing contract authority with paid activity, maintain continuity of specialized labor and employment legal support through the existing agreement term, and move forward with clearer internal controls for tracking outside counsel use.

Going forward, Human Resources, Finance, the City Manager’s Office, and the City Attorney’s Office will coordinate to ensure that outside labor and employment legal services are supported by sufficient contract authority, appropriate funding, and improved internal tracking before additional services are requested or incurred.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT:

Approval of this item will increase the authorized compensation under the existing LCW agreement from $50,000 to $300,000.

The requested increase consists of two components:

1. Contract authority needed to align the existing agreement with LCW services provided under the current agreement; and

2. Additional anticipated services for labor, employment, personnel, and training-related legal services through June 21, 2027.

Sufficient funds are available in the Human Resources and Legal Office operations budgets.

Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit and Tentative Parcel Map to convert four existing detached single-family homes on one property to condominiums, subject to the recommended conditions in the attached resolution and a determination that the project is exempt from CEQA. The project is consistent with the General Plan, Land Use Code, and Subdivision Ordinance.

Executive Summary
The applicant has applied for a Conditional Use Permit and Tentative Parcel Map to convert four existing detached single-family homes on one property to condominiums. Each home is an approximate 720 square-foot single-story cottage.

All of the homes are accessed from Laurel Avenue. No new development is proposed as this time.

Site Characteristics
The 13,566 square-foot property is located along the east side of Laurel Avenue, between East 3
rd and East 4th Street (see Attachment 2). The lot is configured as a flag lot, with the driveway measuring approximately 20 feet in width and 150 feet in length, while the overall lot has an approximate width of 77 feet and a depth of 293 feet. The existing homes are located toward the rear end of lot, with the first home setback 150 feet from Laurel Avenue and the last unit located approximately 257 feet from the right-of-way. This property is located in the RS-2 zone and is currently developed with four detached single-family homes.

Surrounding properties are also located in RS-2 zone and consist of a singlefamily and multifamily development. All access to the site is from Laurel Avenue.

Built in 1958, the four detached units are single-story cottages, each approximately 720 square feet in size, with approximately 11 feet of separation between each structure. As indicated in the attached Physical Elements Report, the property is in overall fair condition with some defects noted.

Proposed Use
The applicant proposes to convert four existing detached single-family homes on one property into individually owned condominiums. As condominiums, the units will be the same size and have the same floor plan as they currently exist.

Proposed work includes repairs as identified in the repair analysis provided by the applicant, which are to be completed prior to the sale of the units. No new development is proposed.

38 Planning Commission
Meeting of September 21, 2026

Page 2 ends

Analysis
The conversion of existing rental units to for-sale condominiums requires a Conditional Use Permit and Tentative Parcel Map.

General Plan
This project is consistent with General Plan Policies LU-2.1 and LU-2.3 in the Land Use Element. Policy LU-2.1 encourages the development of a variety of housing types to meet the Regional Housing Needs Assessment allocations while enhancing the City’s community character. Allowing the conversion of rental units into for-sale condominiums provides four new homeownership opportunities, which is encouraged by the General Plan.

Policy LU-2.3 encourages housing types that are often more affordable, such as micro-units and accessory dwelling units. The existing units are only 720 square feet, which could provide greater affordability compared to newer larger units.

Housing Element Policy 5.4 supports increased homeownership across all income levels for National City residents. The conversion of these rental units to condominiums will provide four new homeownership properties within the City.

The property is located in the RS-2 zone and has a Low-Density Residential General Plan Land Use Designation. This land use designation allows up to 9 dwelling units per acre and provides for a mixture of duplexes, single-family residential developments, secondary residential units (accessory dwelling units), and one or two-story buildings. As existing, the property’s current density is approximately 13 dwelling units per acre. However, the housing development was permitted by right at the time of construction. Additionally, with new state laws such as Senate Bill 9, increased density in single-family areas is more common.

Subdivision Ordinance
The proposed subdivision (condominium, conversion) is consistent with the Subdivision Ordinance, as the existing lot meets minimum lot size and lot width dimensions, and because no new property lines or construction are proposed.

Land Use Code
The conversion of existing rental properties to condominiums is permitted by the Land Use Code subject the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The CUP requires consistency with the Housing Element goals and objectives and

Page 143 of 483 ends

39 Planning Commission
Meeting of September 21, 2026

Page 3 ends

that necessary upgrading per the Physical Elements Report will be completed prior to the sale of any unit. The Physical Elements Report (Attachment 5) identified the overall property condition as fair. The applicant provided a repair analysis (Attachment 6) which identifies all of the repairs to be completed prior to the sale of the units. This is included as a condition of approval.

Subdivision Map Act
As part of the CUP requirements, the Land Use Code requires that all requirements of the State Subdivision Map Act (§66427.1) be satisfied. These requirements include notice to tenants of the intention to convert, filing of the final map, and right of tenants to exclusive contract for purchase in condominium projects. The applicant has provided notice to the tenants in compliance with §66427.1, which has also been included in the recommended Conditions of Approval.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
The project as proposed qualifies for a Categorical Exemption under Class 1, Section 15301 of CEQA (Existing Facilities). Class 1 consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use including but not limited to: the division of existing multiple family or single-family residences into common-interest ownership and subdivision of existing commercial or industrial buildings, where no physical changes occur which are not otherwise exempt.

This property contains four existing single-family homes that will be converted from rental units to for-sale condominiums (common-interest ownership). The only proposed work includes upgrades to the units as identified in the physical assessment report. No new development is proposed.

Mailing
All property owners and occupants within a distance of 300 feet of the property are required to be notified of a public hearing for CUP and TPM applications.

Notice of this public hearing was sent to 244 occupants and owners (Attachment 4). No public comment has been received as of the writing of this report.

Findings
Findings for Approval - Conditional Use Permit

Page 144 of 483 ends

40 Planning Commission
Meeting of September 21, 2026

Page 4 ends

The following are the required findings in the attached draft resolution:

1. Allowable Use: Condominium Conversions are allowable within the Small Lot Residential (RS-2) zone, pursuant to a CUP, and the proposed use meets the required guidelines in the Land Use Code as all existing development was permitted and no new development is proposed. The project consists solely of a change of ownership and repair and renovation of existing improvements.

2. General Plan Consistency: Condominium conversions are permitted, subject to a CUP, by the Land Use Code, which is consistent with the General Plan. In addition, condominium conversions are consistent with the Land Use Element and Housing Element of the General Plan because it provides additional homeownership opportunities.

3. Compatibility, LUC, and Traffic: The project consists solely of a change of ownership and repair and renovation of existing improvements. No expansion of the use is proposed. The proposal involves an existing development, which was previously analyzed for traffic impacts when it was constructed.

4. Suitability: The site is physically suitable for the type, density, and intensity of use being proposed, including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints, as the development already exists and no new development is proposed.

5. No Nuisance: The project consists solely of a change of ownership and repair and renovation of existing improvements. No expansion of the use is proposed. A condition is included for the developer to provide a declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions to maintain the property.

6. 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 exemption includes the division of existing multiple family or single-family residences into common-interest ownership and the proposed project is converting

Page 145 of 483 ends

41 Planning Commission
Meeting of September 21, 2026

Page 5 ends

existing homes to condominiums with minor repair and renovation of existing structures.

There are two additional findings for Condominium Conversions:

7. Housing Element Consistency: The proposal is consistent with Housing Element goals and objectives by supporting increased homeownership across all income levels for National City residents. The conversion of these rental units to condominiums will provide four new homeownership properties within the City.

8. Necessary Upgrades: The Physical Elements Report and Repair Analysis submitted by the applicant show the necessary upgrading that will be completed prior to the sale of any unit. This is included as a condition of approval.

Required Findings- Subdivision Map Act
The Subdivision Map Act contains nine required findings for Tentative Parcel Maps:

1. The proposed map is consistent with the National City General Plan:

Condominium conversions are permitted, subject to a CUP, by the Land Use Code, which is consistent with the General Plan. In addition, condominium conversions are consistent with the Land Use Element and Housing Element of the General Plan because it provides additional homeownership opportunities

2. The site is physically suitable for the proposed type of development: All development is existing and will remain, and only the form of ownership will change. No new development is proposed at this time. The site is suitable for the proposed use as housing and the use has been and is compatible with the zoning and surrounding area.

3. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development: All development is existing and will remain, and only the form of ownership will change. No change to the existing density is proposed at this time. The site easily accommodates the pre-existing housing units currently on site that will not be materially changed or expanded.

Page 146 of 483 ends

42 Planning Commission
Meeting of September 21, 2026

Page 6 ends

4. The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat: There is no natural habitat or body of water present nearby or on-site. The property is surrounded by urban development. It is not likely that the pre-existing housing units that are not being modified will cause substantial environmental damage.

5. The design of the subdivision and the proposed/required improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems: All necessary public services are provided for on site at the existing development. A homeowner’s association will be required for continued service and maintenance for the individual condominiums. The pre-existing housing units that are not being modified or expanded are not likely to cause serious public health problems.

6. The design of the subdivision and the proposed/required improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision: No such easements exist currently or would be encroached upon in the future. Thus, no conflict with easements exists.

7. The discharge of sewerage waste from the subdivision into the City of National City sewer system will not result in violation of existing requirements prescribed by the California Regional Quality Control Board pursuant to Division 7 (commencing with Section 13000) of the Water Code, as specified by Government Code Section 66474.6: Discharge of sewerage waste will be addressed through existing and proposed utility connections on site.

8. The subdivision has been considered by the Planning Commission with regard to its effect on the housing needs of the region, and these needs are balanced by the public service needs of the residents and available fiscal and environmental resources: The project will provide the opportunity for additional homeownership opportunities by converting current rental units to individual condominiums.

9. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive and natural heating and cooling opportunities in the subdivision, based on consideration of local climate, topography, property configuration

Page 147 of 483 ends

43 Planning Commission
Meeting of September 21, 2026

Page 7 ends

and other design and improvement requirements without requiring reduction in allowable density or lot coverage: No development is proposed at this time. However, any construction proposed in the future will be in compliance with the California Building Code, which takes such factors into consideration.

Findings for Denial
The following are findings for denial:

1. Granting the permit would be inconsistent with the National City General Plan because the property has a Low Density Residential General Plan Land Use Designation which allows up to 9 dwelling units per acre. The current density for the property is approximately 13 dwelling units per acre.

Department Comments
Comments were received from the Engineering Department, Fire Department, Building Division, and Sweetwater Authority. The Engineering Department provided standard requirements related to tentative maps, final map procedures, and improvements; the Fire Department and Building Division comments are related to any future development on site; Sweetwater Authority provided comments related to water service. All comments have been incorporated as conditions of approval.

Conditions of Approval
Conditions of approval requiring a declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) and a homeowner’s association have been included to ensure that the property will be adequately maintained in the future. There are also conditions related to Subdivision Map Act requirements and conditions related to department comments.

Summary
The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan, Housing Element, Subdivision Ordinance, and Land Use Code in that it meets all applicable design requirements for condominium conversions. In addition, the project will provide four new affordable homeownership opportunities.

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of National City considered a Conditional Use Permit and Tentative Parcel Map to convert four existing detached single-family homes on one property to condominiums located at 327-333 Laurel Avenue at a duly advertised public hearing held on September 21, 2026, 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. 2025-18 CUP, TPM 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 September 21, 2026, 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 Condominium Conversions are allowable within the Small Lot Residential (RS-2) zone, pursuant to a CUP, and the proposed use meets the required guidelines in the Land Use Code as all existing development was permitted and no new development is proposed. The project consists solely of a change of ownership and repair and renovation of existing improvements.

2. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan, because the Land Use Code permits Condominium conversions, subject to

Page 150 of 483 ends

46 a CUP, by the Land Use Code, which is consistent with the General Plan. In addition, condominium conversions are consistent with the Land Use Element and Housing Element of the General Plan because it provides additional homeownership opportunities.

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 the project consists solely of a change of ownership and repair and renovation of existing improvements. No expansion of the use is proposed. The proposal involves an existing development, 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 the development already exist and no new development is proposed.

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 project consists solely of a change of ownership and repair and renovation of existing improvements. No expansion of the use is proposed. A condition is included for the developer to provide a declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions to maintain the property.

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 and Tentative Parcel Map. The exemption includes the division of existing multiple family or single-family residences into commoninterest ownership and the proposed project is converting existing homes to condominiums with minor repair and renovation of existing structures.

7. The proposed use is consistent with the Housing Element because the proposal is consistent with Housing Element goals and objectives by supporting increased homeownership across all income levels for National City residents. The conversion of these rental units to condominiums will provide four new homeownership properties within the City.

8. Plans and reports submitted by the applicant, along with conditions of approval, show that necessary upgrading will be completed prior to the sale of any unit. The

Page 151 of 483 ends

47 Physical Elements Report and Repair Analysis submitted by the applicant show the necessary upgrading that will be completed prior to the sale of any unit. This is included as a condition of approval.

9. The proposed map is consistent with the National City General Plan because Condominium conversions are permitted, subject to a CUP, by the Land Use Code, which is consistent with the General Plan. In addition, condominium conversions are consistent with the Land Use Element and Housing Element of the General Plan because it provides additional homeownership opportunities

10.The site is physically suitable for development because all development is existing and will remain, and only the form of ownership will change. No new development is proposed at this time. The site is suitable for the proposed use as housing and the use has been and is compatible with the zoning and surrounding area.

11.The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development because the development is existing and will remain, and only the form of ownership will change. No change to the existing density is proposed at this time. The site easily accommodates the pre-existing housing units currently on site that will not be materially changed or expanded.

12.The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat because there is no natural habitat or body of water present nearby or on-site. The property is surrounded by urban development. It is not likely that the pre-existing housing units that are not being modified will cause substantial environmental damage.

13. The design of the subdivision and the proposed/required improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems because all necessary public services are available from the existing development on site. A homeowner’s association will be required for continued service and maintenance for the individual condominiums. The pre-existing housing units that are not being modified or expanded are not likely to cause serious public health problems.

14.The design of the subdivision and the proposed/required improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision because no such easements exist currently or would be encroached upon in the future. Thus, no conflict with easements exists.

48 15.The discharge of sewerage waste from the subdivision into the City of National City sewer system will not result in violation of existing requirements prescribed by the California Regional Quality Control Board pursuant to Division 7 (commencing with Section 13000) of the Water Code, as specified by Government Code Section 66474.6 because discharge of sewerage waste will be addressed through existing and proposed utility connections on site.

16. The subdivision has been considered by the Planning Commission with regard to its effect on the housing needs of the region, and these needs are balanced by the public service needs of the residents and available fiscal and environmental resources because the project will provide the opportunity for additional homeownership opportunities by converting current rental units to individual condominiums.

17.The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive and natural heating and cooling opportunities in the subdivision, based on consideration of local climate, topography, property configuration and other design and improvement requirements without requiring reduction in allowable density or lot coverage because no new development is proposed at this time. Any construction proposed in the future will be in compliance with the California Building Code, which takes such factors into consideration.
