MOUNTAIN HOUSE MASTER PLAN! e) The County may require the expansion of a proposed Specific Plan area to include land that may be needed or may be impacted by the proposed development. 17.5.5 Specific Plans For Designated Areas It is contemplated that Specific Plans may be processed for certain uses, including the Town Center and Old River Industrial Park. Although development of each area may occur in phases, it is desirable to have all of each area included in a single Specific Plan. Using the Town Center as an examPler it is expected that development will progress incrementally as the population grows-One Specific Plan will be prepared for the Town Center. Because the Town Center will be developed over a long period,the initial Specific Plan may include only the Central Commercial Center, with additional areas being added by later amendments- In another case only the first half of Old River Industrial Park is included in the first Specific Plan so the Plan will need to be amended before the remaining lands are developed- Certain public facilities or services may be required before a Specific Plan is prepared for the Neighborhood in which the facilities are to be located. Examples include community-wide facilities such as Arterial roads, water, sewer and drainage infrastructure, and utilities. This infrastructure may pass through lands not yet included in a Specific Plan, but should be discussed in the Specific Plan requiring them- In such cases,future Specific Plan needs should be considered. Policies: a) Old River Industrial Park shall be included in not more than one Specific Plan,butthe Specific Plan may be planned and approved in phasesvia the Specific Plan Amendment process (see Section 17-5.3: Specific Plan Amendments). €b) When a public facility located in an area without a Specific Plan is made necessary by the development of another area,the facility initially must be included in the Specific Plan being prepared. The water treatment plant, however, may be planned independently and incorporated in a later Specific Plan. 17.8 SPECIAL PURPOSE PLANS Some areas previously covered by a Specific Plan may require an additional level of design study and review. The Community Commercial areas and the Neighborhood Centers are examples. For such "focus areas,'more detailed plans will be required prior to the approval of Development Permits- Special Purpose Plans will be used for this purpose. Special Purpose Plans require the same hearing process as do Specif c Plans, but they are more oriented to immediate development. Under provisions of the County Development Tile, uses within an area covered by a Special Purpose Plan may be approved with only an improvement plan, and use permits and site approval applications are not required. Special Purpose Plans must be approved prior to approval of the first Development Permit(such as a Tentative Map)for the focus area Chapter Seventeen Page 17-8 Revised November 2005 Resolution Template 01/2017
