16.210.01 - Purpose and applicability.¶
Specific plans are regulatory documents established by the city to carry out specific purposes, as authorized by the Government Code, for specific geographic areas shown on the zoning map. Such plans are governed by a set of regulations, which address specific subjects, such as land use, physical development, community design, transportation and public improvements, or impose requirements for detailed 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 a base zoning district for the area to which the specific plan applies, and the more restrictive provisions will govern. Specific plan provisions also may be substituted for citywide provisions included in the Zoning Code or subdivision regulations, as more specifically specified in the specific plan.
The existing specific plan areas subject to this chapter are provided in Table 16.210-A below.

A specific plan shall be established and amended as provided in Section 16.609.04, Administration.
A. Minimum Area. The minimum area for a specific plan shall be four contiguous acres; however, the city council may approve a district smaller than four acres if it finds that rezoning to a specific plan would provide greater benefits to the general welfare of Vallejo's residents and property owners than development under any base zoning district due to the unique characteristics of the site or the proposed use/s.
B. Residential Unit Density. Except where a density bonus is granted in compliance with the requirements of this chapter or the city's density bonus regulations for affordable housing and childcare (Chapter 16.214, Affordable Housing Incentives) the total number of dwelling units in a specific plan area shall not exceed the maximum number permitted by the general plan density for the total area designated for residential use, excluding areas devoted to public and private streets.

The specific plan shall establish the development standards for a specific plan area as provided in Section 16.609.04, Administration.
