Specific Plans usually supplement or replace the City's Zoning because the City Council desired to have special standards for that area. If you live in a Specific Plan Area it is labeled on the Zoning Map and that would contain the Development Standards and allowed uses. The City has Specific Plans for the Lucky Center, Sunset Hills, Redlands Corporate Center, and the Redlands Airport Area among others. The largest Specific Plan is the East Valley Corridor Specific Plan which runs roughly from Tennessee Street at Colton Avenue west to Mountain View Avenue, south to Barton Road, and north to the Santa Ana River.

Any Specific Plan can be amended by the City Council. If you wish to amend a Specific Plan you must submit an application and required fees. The process will include review from the Environmental Review Committee, Planning Commission, and City Council. A Socio-Economic Cost Benefit Analysis may be required for a Specific Plan or Amendment to a Specific Plan and the applicant should talk to staff for the appropriate answer.
