A. The
purpose of Specific Plan No. 18 is to take full advantage of excellent
freeway access and visibility and to encourage the development of
major commercial enterprises, as well as those related to the needs
of freeway travelers. Its purpose is to provide for the development
of this property as a coordinated comprehensive project and to take
advantage of the superior environment which will result in a land
use plan that serves the community at large as well as surrounding
communities and provides the highest and best land use of the property.
The regulations of Specific Plan No. 18 are intended to create a combination
of uses and development standards specifically for the project area
while ensuring substantial compliance with the spirit, intent and
provisions of this code.
B. The
intent of Specific Plan No. 18 is to combine uses that serve the community
and the greater area surrounding the city. To that end, the plan intends
to combine a community commercial center and a corporate business
park which are both unified on one property, but independent of each
other. The community center will provide the normal daily needs of
the employees of the business park, through its restaurants, market
and dry goods establishments. The business park will provide employment
which will sustain, in part, the community center and its restaurants.
C. It
is the intent of the planning commission and city council to create
development standards which are unique to this property and which
ensure a cohesive development after reshaping the property, providing
for a well designed plan, sensitive, and complimentary to the community.
