A. Purpose. The purpose of the specific plan (S-P) combining district is to provide for special regulations in areas where environmental or economic opportunities or constraints require the creative and innovative use of land which may be otherwise limited or prohibited by the standard provisions of other parts of this chapter. The specific plan district is designed to allow diversity in the relationship between buildings and open spaces so as to create unique and interesting physical environments, to maximize usable open space while at the same time preserving the public health, safety and welfare.
B. Permitted Uses and Permit Requirements. Any use consistent with the general plan land use designation which is applicable to the subject property and which will not be in conflict with the public health, safety and welfare. Although the overlay is combined with a base zone, once applied, uses and development requirements shall be consistent with the approved specific plan permit. Specific plan permit requirements are outlined in Section 17.52.070.
C. Development Standards. All development shall be consistent with the goals and policies of the general plan and with the uses, density and intensity standards of the general plan land use category applicable. The following general development standards apply within the S-P combining district.
