9-302.010 - PURPOSE

This Chapter provide procedures for adopting and amending Specific Plans. Specific plans are regulatory documents established by the County to carry out specific purposes, as authorized by the Government Code, for specific geographic areas shown on the Zoning Map. They are governed by a set of regulations that address specific subjects, such as land use, physical development, building design, transportation, utilities, and public improvements, or impose requirements for detailed master plans that may be applicable in sub-areas within the specific plan area. The provisions of a specific plan may be combined with provisions of base or overlay zoning districts for the area to which the specific plan applies, and the more restrictive provisions will govern. Specific plan provisions also may be substituted for countywide provisions included in this Title.
