A.

Identify specific plans that have been adopted by the city;

The "SP" specific plan overlay shall be combined with any district where a specific plan has been adopted by the city.

Where a specific plan creates zoning districts, this chapter will provide a correlation between the districts and those of this code.

(Ord. 2343 § 2 (part), 2005: Ord. 2310 § 3 (part), 2003; Ord. 2301 § 3 (Att. A (part)), 2002)

18.57.050 - Adoption/amendment of specific plans.

A specific plan shall be prepared, adopted and amended in the same manner as the general plan, in compliance with Chapter 18.18 (Amendments to the Text or Map) of this title.

Where the specific plan is silent on any particular use, standard or regulation, the provisions of this code shall apply.

18.57.080 - Adopted specific plan/relationship to zoning.

This section identifies the specific plans adopted by the city. Where a specific plan creates zoning districts that are not part of this code, a relationship between those districts and this code is established. This relationship will be used when the zoning district created by a specific plan does not include all the use standards, height and bulk regulations, intensity standards, or other regulations established by the base zoning district. It is intended that the base district regulations will supplement, but will not supplant, those of the specific plan district. The addition of adopted specific plans to the following list shall not constitute amendment of this code.

A.

SP-1 Redding Downtown Specific Plan Update (Ordinance No. 2585)

B.

SP-2 Redding Riverfront Specific Plan (Resolution No. 90-212)

(No zoning districts established)
