Unknown Address, Lancaster, CA 93536

Specific Plan Zone

The Purpose and Intent of the SP zone is to provide the means necessary to implement the city general plan, whether it is solely the SP designation, or in conjunction with any other general plan land use designation as set forth in the text of the general plan, and as delineated on the general plan map. The specific plan zone is intended to be in accordance with applicable goals, objectives, policies and specific actions set forth by the plan. It is the intent of the SP zone that specific plans be prepared to regulate the use and development of property prior to, or in conjunction with, the review of development and subdivision proposals. It is intended that these specific plans be comprehensive and cover a logical planning area so that development in the SP zone occurs in a coordinated fashion, with adequate public and private services and infrastructure, rather than as a series of isolated individual projects. It is further intended that these specific plans provide the opportunity for unique and creative designs that are not possible under the citys typical development regulations.; Where so specified on the general plan map, the land use category shall determine the type of land use permitted and or the density range for the specific plan. Where the SP zone is specified without a land use designation on the general plan map, the specific plan shall include a comprehensive proposal for development, which may include but is not limited to, a variety of mixed land uses and standards to enhance and protect the physical features of the site and surrounding areas.; It shall also be the intent of the SP zone to allow certain individual uses on property where no specific plan has been adopted when such uses will not adversely affect the surrounding area or the city's ability to adopt a future specific plan for the area.
