18.104.040   METHODS AND PROCEDURES FOR SPECIFIC PLAN IMPLEMENTATION.
   The methods and procedures for implementation and administration of the Summit Specific Plan are prescribed as follows:
   .010   Implementation. The Specific Plan shall be implemented through the processing of site plans in conjunction with tentative tract maps and parcel maps. The site plans may be prepared separately from the tentative maps, or may be submitted on the same document, provided the map is submitted in sufficient detail to determine conformance with the Specific Plan.
   .020   Site Plan Approval. The site plan(s) for a particular development area, or portion thereof, shall be reviewed at a duly noticed public hearing by the Planning Commission, for consistency with the Specific Plan and this chapter. Notice of said hearings shall be given at the same time and in the same manner as specified by the Anaheim Municipal Code for hearings for tract maps and parcel maps. Subject to minor boundary variation, as authorized by subsection 18.104.040.040, and density transfers, as authorized by Section 18.104.050, if the site plan is found to be consistent with the Specific Plan and this chapter, the Planning Commission shall approve the site plan, and direct that the Zoning Map of the City of Anaheim be amended when necessary. The decision of the Planning Commission shall be final, subject to appeal or review by the City Council, in the same time and manner as provided for appeals from decisions of the advisory agency on tract maps or parcel maps, as set forth in the Anaheim Municipal Code.
   .030   Site Plan Consistency. If any changes are proposed to an approved site plan regarding the location or alteration of any use or structure shown on an approved site plan, a revised plan may be submitted to the Planning Director for approval. If the Planning Director, or his or her designee, determines that the proposed revision complies with the provisions of the Specific Plan and the general intent of the approved site plan, the revised site plan shall be approved by the Planning Director, or his or her designee, without resubmittal to the approval process described in subsection 18.104.040.020. Said decision shall be final, unless appealed to the City Council within ten (10) days from the date of such decision.
   .040   Acreage and Boundary Changes. Acreage figures shown on the Development Plan summary (Exhibit No. 10 of the Specific Plan) are indicated to the nearest half-acre, based on planimeter readings. Modifications, not to exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the acreage and boundaries shown, may result from technical refinements in the tentative tract map or site plan process, and shall not require an amendment to the Summit Specific Plan.
   .050   Tentative Maps. Chapter 17.08 (Subdivisions) of Title 17 (Land Development and Resources) shall apply to projects requiring a tentative tract or parcel map. Chapter 17.09 (Subdivisions – Vesting Tentative Maps) shall apply to projects entailing a vesting tentative map.
   .060   Grading. Approval of the Specific Plan permits grading and any associated on-site operations, in compliance with the applicable City of Anaheim Municipal Codes, and with the following:
      .0601   Grades shown on tentative maps may be modified due to technical refinements provided in the final grading plans.
      .0602   Prior to approval of any grading permits within a development area, a complete geological and soils engineering report, showing evidence that a safe and stable development area will result, shall be submitted to the city.
      .0603   Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the recommendations of the engineering geologist and soils engineer shall be incorporated into the grading plan design.
      .0604   Prior to commencement of construction, the stability of the development area shall be certified by the engineering geologist and soils engineer.
   .070   Construction. Construction within any development area or open space area may occur only after the Planning Director has made a determination of consistency, that the development proposal is consistent with the regulations herein, and the applicable policies and guidelines of the Summit Specific Plan. All construction shall comply with the applicable city codes.
   .080   Conditional Use Permits. For projects, uses or activities requiring a conditional use permit pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, the procedures specified in Chapter 18.66 (Conditional Use Permits) shall apply.
   .090   Variances. For projects requiring a variance or modification to the development standards contained in this chapter, the procedures specified in Chapter 18.74 (Variances) shall apply.
   .100   Specimen Tree Replacement. The preservation of significant stands of, or single specimen trees, including replacement of such trees, shall comply with Section 18.18.050 (Tree Preservation) of Chapter 18.18 (Scenic Corridor Overlay Zone), except as otherwise provided herein. The locations and planting schedule for specimen tree replacement shall be determined by the Specimen Tree Replacement Program (Exhibit No. 15 of the Specific Plan). Trees may be replaced within the same development area from which they are removed, or may be replaced elsewhere within the total project boundaries, due to slope or other site considerations. Such specimen trees shall be replaced on a two-to-one (2:1) ratio west of the open space spine, and on a one-to-one (1:1) ratio east of Weir Canyon Road. Numbers of trees exceeding this ratio are addressed in the Resource Management Plan (Technical Appendix to Supplement to Environmental Impact Report No. 281). (Ord. 5920 § 1 (part); June 8, 2004.)
