The specific plan zoning established by the provisions of this title supplements the use regulations and/or development standards of the applicable base zone, where important site, neighborhood, or area characteristics require a higher level of attention to land use relationships and context, architectural design, landscaping, lighting, and signage. The specific plan zoning (SP-x) is intended to provide a means of establishing focused land use regulations, development standards, and design guidelines in areas for which a specific plan is adopted by the city. Specific plans will include a set of development standards that replace and/or supplement the zoning regulations for the plan area. In the event of a conflict with the regulations of the base zoning district or the overlay zoning and the specific plan zoning, the provisions of the specific plan zoning shall govern. The provisions of this chapter shall apply to all projects with specific plan zoning. Specific plans adopted by the city shall be prepared in accordance with state requirements for specific plans. (Ord. 506 §1(part), 2014).

(Ord. 506 §1(part), 2014).
17.43.030 Development Standards.
Specific plans adopted by the city shall include clearly identifiable land use regulations, development standards, and design guidelines. Specific plans may be adopted by resolution or ordinance.

17.43.040 Land Uses Allowed Or Conditionally Allowed.
