A. Purpose
and Intent. The purpose of the specific plan (SPL) district is to
allow unique zone districts to be established consistent with an adopted
specific plan, providing more flexibility in the designation of allowable
uses, development standards, and other regulations than would be possible
through application of other base and combining zone districts.
B. Specific Plan Requirement. Development within the SPL district shall be authorized only through the approval of a specific plan as set forth in Section
17.58.200 (Specific plans) and in California
Government Code Section 66450 et seq. The specific plan (and/or companion documents thereto) shall contain the zoning regulations for properties within the specific plan area.
C. Allowable
Land Uses, Permit Requirements, and Development Standards. The specific
plan shall specify all permitted uses and land use permit requirements
for the SPL district. All land uses permitted within the SPL district
shall be subject to the development standards and other regulations
required by the specific plan. Such development standards shall include
minimum parcel size, setbacks, maximum coverage or floor area ratio,
height limits, density, parking ratios, and other applicable requirements.
If a standard or other regulation is not specifically addressed in
the specific plan, it shall be governed by the Placer County zoning
ordinance.
D. Designation
on the Zoning Map. The SPL district shall be designated on the zoning
maps by the specific plan land use symbol (SPL) and reference to the
relevant specific plan (e.g., SPL-PVSP).
E. Incorporation
into the Placer County Zoning Ordinance. The relevant sections of
the specific plan (and/or companion documents thereto) shall be adopted
by ordinance and incorporated by reference in the Placer County zoning
ordinance under this section.
