20.37.010   Purpose.
   A.   Application of the specific plan concept.
   1.   A specific plan and its function may be described by comparison with the general plan. The general plan expresses, in very broad terms, the city's planning of its future environment, generally on a long-term basis. Adopted by the city as a legislative act, the general plan may be amended, as required by changing circumstances. The specific plan, on the other hand, is a device used to implement the general plan by focusing on a particular parcel or parcels. The specific plan sets standards, against which developments can be judged, and imposes controls on the use of the subject parcels. The specific plan is more detailed than a general plan and can be viewed as a bridge between the general plan and individual project submittals.
   2.   The intent and purpose of this chapter is to establish a specific plan to guide the physical development of a particular geographic area within the city. The subject site is constrained due to its shape, sloping terrain and on-going oil operations. In an effort to accommodate the city's diverse housing needs, the concepts, regulations and conditions set forth in the Crescent Square Residential Specific Plan provide for the development of the site as market rate housing.
   3.   The specific plan has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the State Government Code (Section 64540 through 65507) and addresses all of the issues and topics specified in that code.
   B.   Location and boundary. The specific plan includes an area of approximately 3.18 acres generally located at the northeast corner of Walnut Avenue and Crescent Heights Street. The boundaries of the area are more specifically set forth in the approved plans on file with the Community Development Department.
   C.   Goals and objectives. Goals for the development within the SP-17, Crescent Square Residential Specific Plan, include the following:
   1.   Encourage the development of privately sponsored housing developments; and
   2.   Provide architectural treatment that is compatible with the architectural styles identified as preferred in the adjacent Crescent Heights Specific Plan District; and
   3.   Apply design standards that result in the highest quality development and achieve streetscapes with pedestrian scale and ambiance consistent with the city's small town character.
(Ord. 2005-09-1352 § 2, 2005)
20.37.020   Adoption of SP-17, Crescent Square Residential Specific Plan.
   The provisions of this chapter shall apply to all property shown as SP-17, Crescent Square Residential Specific Plan on the official zoning map.
(Ord. 2005-09-1352 § 2, 2005)
20.37.030   Use classifications.
   A.   Principal uses. The following uses shall be permitted within the Crescent Square Residential Specific Plan. Unlisted uses shall be prohibited.
   1.   Market rate detached single-family dwelling units available for sale.
   2.   Oil production facility (to be replaced with single-family dwelling after abandonment).
   B.   Accessory uses. The following accessory uses shall be permitted, in conjunction with the development of a multi-family housing project at the site.
   1.   Home occupations, not to exceed one (1) such use per dwelling.
   2.   Open space including pools and spas.
   3.   Private garages.
