A specific plan is a tool a city may use to implement the goals, objectives, and policies of its General Plan. Similar to a Zoning Code, such plan will contain detailed standards, distribution of land uses, infrastructure requirements, and implementation measures for orderly development of the City. However, unlike a citywide Zoning Code a specific plan is intended for a specific geographic area. This allows for greater flexibility and provides an opportunity to focus regulations and standards on the goals of this specific area.

The Bolsa Row Specific Plan was approved in June 2018.
