Subdivision Regulations
Specific Plan Districts
Some areas of the City are "zoned" as special districts, called Specific Plan Districts. A Specific Plan is a comprehensive planning and zoning document that is specifically enabled in state planning and zoning law. A Specific Plan provides a means to establish more specific land use regulations and design standards for properties and areas requiring special attention or treatment. A Specific Plan serves as a policy and regulatory document, with policy direction and project development concepts consistent with the General Plan.
Planned Development (PD) Districts
Some areas of the City are "zoned" as special districts, called Planned Development Districts. Planned Development Districts are more comprehensive than zoning and are intended to achieve a specific outcome in a geographic area.
