City Code Special Planning District

A. General. The Del Paso Boulevard special planning district (SPD) boundaries are identified on a map set out at the end of this chapter as Appendix A (SPD Map). When established in 1994, the Del Paso Boulevard SPD area consisted of C-2 zoned properties located along Del Paso Boulevard, between approximately Globe Avenue and El Camino Avenue. In 1997, the SPD boundary was expanded and M-1 zoning standards were adopted.

This SPD area consists of a number of different neighborhoods, including residential uses, light industrial uses, and commercial uses. The SPD zoning regulations are intended to assist in the preservation of the economic climate in these neighborhoods through the retention of existing businesses while accommodating new development in the area.

The city council further finds and declares that, given the history, nature and scope of recent development along Del Paso Boulevard, including the Triangle Area, special rules are necessary to regulate new nonconforming uses within the Del Paso special planning district. However, it is appropriate to allow for the existing nonconforming uses to continue, as regulated by Chapter 17.88 of this title.
