17.74.010 Purpose and intent.

This zone applies to areas that have existing adopted Specific Plans and implements the Specific Plan General Plan designation. Each Specific Plan regulates the intended physical character, key features, and look and feel within those areas. (Ord. 1603 § 4 (Exh. I), 2023)

17.74.020 Land use regulations and development standards for Specific Plans.

Once adopted, a Specific Plan shall govern all use and development of properties within the bounds of that Specific Plan. Where a Specific Plan is silent regarding development standards, the provisions of this Title shall govern.

(A) When a use is not specifically listed as allowed in the Specific Plan, the Director shall assign the land use or activity to a classification that is substantially similar in character pursuant to the similar use determination process as described in PMC § 17.24.040 (Determination on unlisted uses). Land uses not listed in the Specific Plan as allowed or not found to be substantially like an allowed use are prohibited.

(B) No discretionary entitlement applications or other permits may be approved, adopted, or amended within an area covered by a Specific Plan, unless found to be consistent with the adopted Specific Plan.

(C) The contents, requirements and adoption procedures for a new Specific Plan shall be in compliance with PMC § 17.27.040 (Specific Plan).

(D) If a Specific Plan is silent on the amendment procedures, the Specific Plan may be amended pursuant to the process for General Plan amendments specified within PMC § 17.24.030 (General Plan amendments). (Ord. 1603 § 4 (Exh. I), 2023)
