RELATIONSHIP OF THE SPECIFIC PLAN TO THE GENERAL PLAN Together with the City of Pleasanton Genera] Plan, this Specific Plan provides a framework to guide future land use and development within the Planning Area. The Specific Plan is consistent with, and serves as an extension of, the Pleasanton General Plan, and can be used as both a policy and regulatory document. When subsequent detailed development proposals for the Planning Area are brought before the City, City reviewing bodies will use the Specific Plan as a guide fur project review. Projects will be evaluated for consistency with the plan policies and for conformance with development guidelines. Fur projects within [he Planning Area, policies and guidelines within the Specific Plan will take precedence over more general policies applied elsewhere in the City. The relationship between objectives, policies and guidelines as used in this Specific Plan are described as follows: Objective: An objective is a specific end condition that, when attained, helps to achieve the desired or ideal end-state. There may be several objectives providing intermediate steps towards achieving these ideal conditions. Policy: A policy is a specific statement that is [o be used to guide decision making. It represents a clear commitment and direction of the Plan. Guideline: Guidelines are recommended approaches or strategies to ensure compliance with a policy. Guidelines are intended to be discretionary in their application. RELATIONSHIP OF THE SPECIFIC PLAN TO ZONING The Planning Area is to he reclassified from "Specific Plan" to PUD (Planned Unit Development) District. PUD development plans will be required prior to any development. These development plans will establish the regulations for land use, site and architectural design, and the cons[mction of buildings and infrastructure. These procedures and regulations shall establish the City's zoning for the Property, and are to be consistent with, and implement, the policy framework of the Plan. Other land use regulatory processes -such as a development agreement, tentative subdivision maps, conditional use permits -must also be consistent with the Specific Plan. Unless otherwise specified, PUD development plans and other more project-specific land use approvals adopted after findings of consistency with [he Specific Plan will take precedence over guidelines of the Specific Plan.
