The purpose of the specific plan (SP) overlay district is to provide for a coordinated level of site planning for specific properties. The intent is to ensure a more precise level of planning for such areas than is ordinarily possible under the development code. Therefore, a specific plan is an extension of the land use plan, including, but not limited to, the location and types of land uses, roads, infrastructure, open space, and natural resources. (Ord. 253, 12-16-2014)

The provisions of this district shall apply to any parcel(s) subject to the specific plan overlay district, as shown on the town's official zoning map. (Ord. 253, 12-16-2014)

No new development will be approved within the specific plan areas designated in the general plan until a specific plan meeting the requirements of section 65451 of the Government Code, has been adopted by the town. (Ord. 253, 12-16-2014)

Where specific plans have already been adopted, new development must be consistent and comply with that specific plan. (Ord. 253, 12-16-2014)

Regulations and standards may be adopted by resolution or ordinance as a part of a specific plan. The regulations and standards for the specific plan are utilized in lieu of adopted zoning regulations and standards (to be used instead of existing zoning districts contained in the development code) and the specific plan shall govern the use and development of any properties included in an adopted specific plan without regard to any adopted zoning regulations and standards (unless the specific plan contains specific provisions designed to rely on the development code in certain situations not covered in the specific plan). Under these circumstances the properties included in the specific plan shall be indicated on the zoning map. (Ord. 253, 12-16-2014)
