The City Council hereby finds that it is in the best interest of the city to encourage specific plans of land use for the development of large property holdings, which are otherwise eligible for development under the Jurupa Valley General Plan. The City Council further finds that land use allocations assigned to property under a specific plan are based on a variety of environmental and planning factors that may provide for balanced development but may not conform entirely to the zoning classifications contained in this chapter. It is the intent of the City Council in adopting this chapter to provide a zoning classification tailored to specific plans of land use, and require implementing development to comply with the development standards contained in the adopted specific plan text.

The Specific Plan Zone shall be applied only to property for which a specific plan of land use has been adopted; provided, however, that the Specific Plan Zone may be adopted concurrently with a specific plan. The zone shall be applied only upon a finding that the specific plan of land use contains definitive development standards and requirements relating to land use, density, lot size and shape, siting of buildings, setbacks, circulation, drainage, landscaping, architecture, water, sewer, public facilities, grading, maintenance, open space, parking, and other elements deemed necessary for the proper development of the property.

A.

The following uses may be permitted in the SP Zone, subject to the zoning requirements contained in the adopted specific plan and the procedural requirements of subsection (B) of this section:

(1)

Residential uses including single-family and multi-family dwellings.

(2)

Commercial and office uses.

(3)

Manufacturing uses and industrial parks.

(4)

Open space, recreation areas, and parks.

(5)

Public facilities, including, but not limited to, schools, libraries, government buildings, and water and sewer facilities.

(6)

Health and community service facilities.

(7)

Other uses adopted within the specific plan.

(8)

Dry farming and field crops as interim uses.

(9)

Uses incidental to the above.

(10)

Child day care center.

(11)

Small family day care homes and large family day care homes. No permit shall be required for small family day care homes and large family day care homes.

B.

Any use permitted within a specific plan shall be subject to the permit requirements specified in the plan. Whenever the specific plan does not specify a procedure or lacks specificity with respect to the requirements for approval of any use, the use shall be subject to the most restrictive permit procedures contained in any zoning classification in which the use is listed.

(Ord. No. 2022-17, § 17, 10-20-2022)

Uses shall conform to the development standards, conditions and any special restrictions contained in the adopted specific plan and any amendments thereto; provided, however, that if the specific plan lacks one or more standards, the applicable standards from the zoning classification which most closely fits the land use assigned to the site shall be utilized.

(1)

Notice of hearing. Notice of time, date and place of the hearing, the identity of the hearing body and a general description of the location of the real property, which is the subject of the hearing, shall be given at least ten (10) days prior to the hearing by all of the following procedures:

(a)

Publication once in a newspaper of general circulation in the city.

(b)

Mailing or delivering to the owner of the subject real property or the owner's duly authorized agent, and to the project applicant.

(c)

Mailing or delivering to each local agency expected to provide water, sewage, streets, roads, schools, or other essential facilities or services to the project whose ability to provide those facilities and services may be significantly affected.

(d)

Mailing or delivering to all owners of real property which is located within three hundred (300) feet of the exterior boundaries of the subject property, as such owners are shown on the last equalized assessment roll and any update.

(e)

Mailing by first class mail to any person who has filed a written request with the Planning Department and has provided that Department with a self-addressed stamped envelope for that purpose.

(f)

If the number of owners to whom notice would be mailed or delivered pursuant to subsection (1)(b) or (d) of this section is greater than one thousand (1,000), in lieu of mailed or delivered notice, notice may be provided by placing a display advertisement of at least one-eighth (⅛) page in at least one (1) newspaper of general circulation at least ten (10) days prior to the hearing.

(g)

The Community Development Director may require that additional notice of the hearing be given in any other manner he deems necessary or desirable.

(2)

Administration of oaths. The Chairman may require that witnesses be sworn.

(3)

Hearing and notice of decision. The hearing body shall hear relevant testimony from interested persons and make its decision within a reasonable time after the close of the public hearing. Notice of the decision shall be filed by the Community Development Director with the city Clerk, together with a report of the proceedings, not more than fifteen (15) days after the decision. A copy of the notice of decision shall be mailed to the applicant and to any person who has made a written request for a copy of the decision. If the hearing body is unable to make a decision, that fact shall be filed with the city Clerk in the same manner for reporting decisions and shall be considered as a notice of denial of the application by the hearing body. The city Clerk shall place the notice of the decision on the next agenda of the City Council held five (5) or more days after the Clerk receives the notice from the Community Development Director.

(4)

Proceedings before the City Council. The decision of the hearing body is considered final and no action by the City Council is required unless an appeal is filed and processed pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.05.100.

(5)

Intentionally deleted.

(6)

Transcripts.

(a)

Whenever any person desires to obtain a transcript of the oral proceedings of a public hearing before the City Council or Planning Commission or desires to have a record made of such proceedings, he shall, not less than seven (7) days before the hearing, notify in writing the city Clerk, if the hearing is before the City Council, or the Secretary of the Planning Commission if the hearing is before the Planning Commission. The written request shall be accompanied by a deposit of a sum equal to one (1) day's fee for a Court Reporter. The Clerk or Secretary shall thereupon arrange to have a Court Reporter present at the hearing. If the hearing is thereafter continued to another day, a like request, deposit and arrangement for a Court Reporter shall be made, if the record is desired. Such a person may directly arrange for attendance and payment of a Court Reporter instead of making such arrangements through the Clerk or Secretary by the person desiring the same.

(b)

Whenever any person desires to obtain a Clerk's transcript of the documents involved in a proceeding before the City Council, the Planning Commission, he shall make a written request to the city Clerk, if the matter is before the City Council or to the Secretary of the Planning Commission, if the matter is before the Planning Commission. The city Clerk or Secretary shall determine the number of pages involved and require payment in advance for the transcript at the current rate.
