(Ord. 1130.315, eff. 1-1-03)

The City may adopt a Precise Plan to delineate uses, relationships to other areas, intensity of use, circulation, design criteria, procedures for development review and special conditions. A Precise Plan may authorize issuance of a Planned Community Permit (hereafter referred to as a PC permit) by the Planning Director or designee as provided in Section 52.10 and may authorize administrative approval of signs, minor site changes and minor building alterations that are in conformity with the Precise Plan without the necessity of a PC permit, provided in such cases the Precise Plan contains reasonable and adequate standards for the granting of such administrative approvals.

(Ord. 1130.315, eff. 1-1-03)

A Precise Plan will be adopted concurrently with the establishment of the applicable P District and will become effective at the time the P District becomes effective. The Precise Plan may recommend changes to the City General Plan. In such a case the Precise Plan and the P District will become effective upon approval of the General Plan amendment.

A.

The proposal to adopt or amend a Precise Plan may be initiated by the City Council, Planning Commission or by the Planning Director or designee. Interested parties may request that the City initiate the adoption or amendment of a Precise Plan by submitting said request to the Planning Director or designee. The request for initiation by an interested party will be accompanied by materials supportive of the request and showing the nature of the requested Precise Plan or amendment. Submitted materials must be submitted to the Planning Director or designee and should include statements justifying why the proper functioning of the community requires the adoption or amendment of the Precise Plan as proposed, and in the case of a requested amendment to the Precise Plan, why the amended Precise Plan is more suitable for the area than the existing Precise Plan. The Planning Director or designee will make a recommendation to the Planning Commission as to whether to initiate a Precise Plan. The Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the City Council as to whether to initiate a Precise Plan.

B.

Once initiated, the draft Precise Plan will be prepared by City staff or by a consultant under the direction of City staff. The Planning Commission will, once the Precise Plan is drafted, hold at least one (1) public hearing thereon and will give notice thereof as provided in Section 49.2 of the Zoning Ordinance of said hearing. The Planning Commission will within sixty (60) days after the close of such public hearing, make its recommendation to the City Council on whether to adopt or amend a Precise Plan.

C.

Any environmental review document required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) will be completed prior to the Planning Commission recommendation and certified as complete prior to City Council adoption or amendment of a Precise Plan.

D.

The City Council will hold at least one (1) public hearing thereon after having given notice of such hearing as provided in Section 49.2 of the Zoning Ordinance and may thereafter by resolution, adopt, amend or decline to adopt or amend such Precise Plan. Any substantial amendment to a Precise Plan proposed by the City Council may be referred back to the Planning Commission for comment.

(Ord. 1130.315, eff. 1-1-03)

The Planning Director or designee will periodically review Precise Plans and initiate their amendment when necessary.
