Division VII — PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AND SPECIFIC PLAN PROCEDURES

Editor's note— ORD-16-0009 § 2, adopted June 14, 2016, amended Div. VII in its entirety to read as herein set out. Former Div. VII, §§ 21.25.701—21.25.708, was entitled "Planned Development District— Procedures", and derived from Ord. C-6533 § 1(part), 1988.

The Planned Development (PD) District and Specific Plan (SP) procedures are established to allow flexible development plans to be prepared for certain areas of the City which may benefit from unique or special land use and design controls not otherwise possible under conventional zoning regulations. This Division establishes the procedures for securing the planned development district zone or specific plan zone designation, and for granting a planned development permit or specific plan permit for any project located in a PD or SP district.

(ORD-16-0009 § 2, 2016)

A.

A Planned Development District may only be established by an ordinance specifying, among other things, the goals, objectives, use and development standards for the PD. Such standards shall apply to all development within the PD.

B.

A Specific Plan may only be established by an ordinance or resolution specifying, among other things, the goals, objectives, use and development standards for the SP. Such standards shall apply to all development within the SP.

(ORD-16-0009 § 2, 2016)

In addition to meeting all qualifying standards set forth in Chapter 21.37, and notwithstanding any other provisions of this Title 21, the following procedures shall apply to the establishment or amendment of any Planned Development District or Specific Plan area:

The Planning Commission shall recommend action on the establishment or amendment to the City Council.

C.

City Council. The City Council has the sole and final authority to act on the recommendation of the Planning Commission. If the council approves the Planned Development District or Specific Plan, or amendments thereto, the PD zone or SP area shall be indicated on the official zoning maps of the City by a PD or SP designation and a number indicating the Planned Development District or Specific Plan established. PD or SP numbers shall be assigned chronologically as indicated in Chapter 21.37 (Planned Development Districts and Specific Plans) of this Title.
