The purpose of this chapter is to identify all special purpose districts within the city. Special purpose districts require special project entitlement, which allows for flexibility from traditional development standards. These districts are consistent with and implement the city's general plan special planning land use designation as shown in Table 17.24.020-1 (Zoning Districts). (Ord. 2010-02 § 1 (part), 2010)
A. Purpose of the Specific Plan Zoning District. The purpose of the specific plan zoning district is to designate unique planning areas within the city for which the City Council has adopted or requires adoption of a separate planning document (a specific plan) consistent with the general plan and state law. The contents, requirements, and adoption and amendment procedures for specific plans are listed in Section 17.12.170 (Specific Plans).
B. Designation. Specific plan zoning districts shall be delineated on the zoning map in a manner similar to that of any other zoning district except that each specific plan-zoned area shall also bear a name, number, symbol, or other delineation, as determined by the Zoning Administrator, which distinguishes it from other specific plan zoning districts, base zoning districts, or overlay zoning districts. The assignment of the specific plan zoning district serves to provide a reference to the corresponding specific plan zoning document adopted by ordinance of the City Council. Applicable zoning regulations and standards applicable to the land area shall be provided in the specific plan document, and shall be adopted by reference in this title.
C. Allowed Uses. Allowed uses within the specific plan area are those listed uses in the adopted specific plan document as permitted, conditionally permitted, or not permitted.
D. Development Standards. Development standards within the specific plan area are those standards listed in the adopted specific plan. (Ord. 2010-02 § 1 (part), 2010)
