zoned specific plan are those permitted by the specific plan
adopted for that area. Each separate specific plan district and
its accompanying specific plan shall be sequentially numbered.
If land is placed in the specific plan district before a
specific plan is adopted for that land, the standards of the
immediately preceding zone shall continue to apply until a
specific plan is adopted.
(b) Location. Specific plan zoned land may be located anywhere
in the city provided uses within the specific plan are
consistent with the General Plan of the city.
(c) Criteria. the uses and types of development proposed in
this zone shall maintain and enhance the character of the
surrounding vicinity. During the preparation, review and
approval processes for a specific plan, consideration shall be
given to elements including but not limited to: orientation of
buildings and uses, building bulk and scale, building height and
setback, parking, traffic generation, noise and landscaping. At
a minimum, these elements shall be specifically addressed in the
specific plan in such a manner as to integrate the proposed uses
and buildings with surrounding development.
SECTION NO. 2: The City Council finds and determines that
said Amendment to the Municipal Code is a minor modification to the
City's Zoning Ordinance and is, therefore, categorically exempt

Quality Act of 1970, as amended.
SECTION NO. 3: The City Clerk shall certify to the
passage of this Ordinance and shall cause the same to be published
