Specific plans are a significant tool to implement the general plan, as well as an inducement to the development of mixed use developments desired by the city. A specific plan documents the proposed extent, distribution, in-tensity, and location of major components of public and private drainage, energy, parks, sewage, solid waste disposal, transportation, water, and other essential facilities proposed to be located within or needed to support the land uses described in the plan, as well as implementation and financing methods and added benefits to the city as a whole.
