San Dimas Municipal Code Art. II Land Use Development Plan

A. The general location of all principal land uses is shown on Exhibit A, land use development plan, located at the end of this chapter. This exhibit and other illustratives have been included in the specific plan for the purpose of visually describing the goals and objectives and the form of construction that will result from the development standards contained within the plan.

B. Required of developments subject to the plan are several discretionary approvals including but not limited to, approval of tentative tract maps and development plans. Inclusion of the exhibits and illustratives in the specific plan is not intended to bind either the developer or the city to the plans precisely as presented.

The actual development may in fact vary from the exhibits and illustratives in order to accommodate conditions of approval and environmental mitigation measures imposed pursuant to the discretionary approvals as well as to accommodate development concept changes proposed by the applicant at the time. However, when in the determination of the director of community planning, modifications result in substantial departures from the exhibits and illustratives, then the changes shall require an amendment to the specific plan prior to any further approvals.
