Zoning Regulations for the Study District (S) in Concord
The Study District (S) in Concord is an interim zoning designation applied to the Concord Reuse Project (CRP) site, excluding the Diablo Creek Golf Course. As an interim classification, the Study District (S) does not permit the issuance of any new land use permits or approvals until a specific plan or equivalent regulatory document that conforms to the City of Concord’s general plan has been adopted.
Purpose and Applicability of the Study District (S)
The Study District (S) is established as an interim zoning district for the Concord reuse project (CRP) site [Section 18.65.010]. The purpose of this district is to facilitate a planning and environmental review process to determine future land uses and development standards for the site. Detailed development standards for the Concord Study District (S) are intended to be developed through a specific plan or an equivalent mechanism at a future date, which will be subject to approval by the Concord planning commission and the city council [Section 18.65.010].
The Study District (S) applies to all lands included in the planning area of the Concord reuse project (CRP) area plan, with the sole exception of the Diablo Creek Golf Course [Section 18.65.020].
Development Standards and Permit Restrictions
Because the Study District (S) is an interim classification, there are no established minimum lot sizes, dimensions, or specific development standards for the district at this time. The Concord Development Code prohibits the issuance of any permits or approvals for new land uses in the Study District (S) until a specific plan or equivalent regulatory document that conforms to the City of Concord’s general plan is adopted [Section 18.65.030].
Consequently, the following technical standards are currently undefined for the Study District (S):
| Development Standard | Requirement in Study District (S) |
|---|---|
| Minimum Lot Size | Not established (pending specific plan) |
| Minimum Lot Width | Not established (pending specific plan) |
