The authority, purpose and intent for the adoption of the PD-49 zone are as follows:
A. 
Authority. The PD-49 zone is adopted pursuant to the authority set forth in Chapter 17.450, Planned Development Zones—General Regulations.
B. 
Purpose. Consistent with "smart growth" planning principles, the purpose of the PD-49 zone is to permit and regulate mixed-use development of approximately sixty-four gross acres located south of Balfour Road, west of existing Concord Avenue/future Highway 4 Bypass, and to allow for the phased development of a mix of medical campus, office, retail, public and quasi-public and residential uses, variations in density and building intensities, innovative design characteristics, that would not normally be permitted in a single-use zone, and retention of greater flexibility to adjust square footage allocated to each permitted use. The precise square footage for each use would be determined at the time of approval of the development plans as described below. The land covered by this PD-49 zone is designated by the Brentwood general plan as a special planning area (SPA) Q, to be developed consistent with this PD-49 zone.
C. 
Intent. It is intended that, in order to achieve the purpose of the PD-49 zone of implementing a medical campus, mixed-use development in conformance with the Brentwood general plan, development within the PD-49 zone shall be consistent with the permitted and conditionally permitted uses set forth below. It is further intended that in order to provide for the phased development of the property, development of portions of the property may occur upon the approval of a development plan for each such phase. The subareas shall be as shown in the map in Section 17.499.008 of this chapter and made a part of this chapter, and as further described below.
