Specific Plan No. 9 applies to the area located west of San
Dimas Canyon Road, north of Foothill Boulevard. See Exhibit A for
location.
(Ord. 726 § 1, 1981; Ord. 1235 § 1, 2015)
A. The
purpose of Specific Plan No. 9 is to provide for the classification
and development of parcels of land as a coordinated comprehensive
project so as to take advantage of the superior environment which
will result from large scale community planning. The regulations established
by Specific Plan No. 9 are intended to allow a diversity of uses and
development standards created specifically for the project area while
ensuring substantial compliance with the spirit, intent and provisions
of other portions of this code. Alternative development standards
have been incorporated in this specific plan in return for development
sensitivity and increased amenities to serve the inhabitants of this
and surrounding community areas.
B. Development
standards are proposed to achieve the following objectives:
1. To conserve the scenic qualities of the area;
2. To provide an enriched scenic highway environment with aesthetic
cohesiveness, harmonious massing of structures, and interfacing of
open space through the utilization of superior land planning and architectural
design.
(Ord. 726 § 1, 1981; Ord. 1235 § 1, 2015)
A. Unless
otherwise specified, all development standards within Specific Plan
No. 9 shall comply with other provisions of this title. Terms used
in this chapter shall have the same meaning as defined elsewhere in
this code unless otherwise defined in this chapter.
B. Any
details or issues not specifically covered by this specific plan shall
be subject to the regulations of this code.
C. All
references in this chapter relate to ordinances contained in this
code as currently written unless expressly provided to the contrary.
In the event that any conditions or terms in this chapter are declared
illegal or unenforceable, the other terms and conditions shall remain
in full force and effect to the full extent permitted by law.
D. The specific plan is an instrument for guiding, coordinating and regulating the development of property within the area designated on the area map
attached to this chapter as Exhibit A. The plan replaces the usual zoning regulations as stated in this chapter. It is a "specific plan" as authorized in Article 8 of Chapter 3 of the state Planning and Zoning Law. The plan is consistent with and carries out the projections of the general plan of the city.
(Ord. 726 § 1, 1981; Ord. 1235 § 1, 2015)
