Specific Plans4: "A specific plan (Attachment 13) is a tool for the systematic implementation of the General Plan in a defined area. A specific plan may provide direction to every facet of development from the type, location and intensity of uses to the design and capacity of infrastructure; from the resources used to finance public improvements (such as the Blomquist extension) to the design guidelines of a subdivision. If a specific plan is prepared for the area recommended for a moratorium, Bair Island Road Study Area, State law permits the City to defray the cost of the specific plan by imposing a fee upon persons whose projects must be consistent with the plan. The fee must be prorated according to the benefit a person received from the specific plan. The specific plan process must provide opportunities for the general public as well as residents located within planning areas, to assist in the planning of their particular communities. Public involvement helps define the community's vision of future growth and development. The Work Program: The preparation of a work program should be the first consideration after making the decision to prepare a specific plan. The program should set forth the responsibilities the departments, consultants, and/or individuals will take in each phase of the process. In addition, it should provide direction in the scope of the work to be performed, the funding mechanisms, consultants, public participation, and deadlines. Early Direction: The work program should incorporate early policy direction from the Council, defining the general direction for the specific plan and its objectives and policies. This direction may take the form of precise guidelines for what the specific plan should accomplish, or a general vision of the planning area. 4 Specific Plans are described in Attachment 13, 8 "'~ T
