The specific plan (SP) district is an alternative zoning process that may permit any
land uses, mixture of land uses, and alternative development standards, of an individual
property or larger area, to achieve consistency with the general plan. In return,
a SP district requires the specific plan to be designed such that, at a minimum, the
location, integration and arrangement of land uses, buildings, structures, utilities,
access, transit, parking, and streets collectively avoid monotony, promote variety,
and yield a context sensitive development. The specific plan cannot vary Section 17.40.055 (inclusionary housing incentive) and must comply with the building, fire and life
safety codes adopted by the metropolitan government.
