The
specific
plan
shall
include
a
statement
of
the
relationship
of
the
specific
plan
to
the
general
plan.
Government
Code
Section
65452
states
that
a
specific
plan
“may
address
any
other
subjects
which
in
the
judgment
of
the
planning
agency
are
necessary
or
desirable
for
implementation
of
t
he
general
plan.”
Section
17.15.040
of
the
Brisbane
Municipal
Code
specifies
that
specific
plans
shall
“meet
the
requirements
of
the
California
Government
Code
Sections
65451
and
65452”
and
does
not
establish
any
content
requirements
beyond
those
set
forth
in
the
Government
Code.
State
law
and
the
Brisbane
Municipal
Code
do
not
require
specific
plans
to
include
site
plans,
or
to
identify
specific
building
locations,
orientation,
or
architectural
design
including
building
heights
for
individual
buildings
as
part
of
the
specific
plan.
The
February
2011
proposed
Brisbane
Baylands
Specific
Plan
prepared
by
the
applicant
for
the
DSP
and
DSP-V
scenarios
includes
each
of
the
subjects
required
by
the
Government
Code.
The
current
version
of
the
proposed
Specific
Plan
superseded
the
which
only
showed
what
was
then
referred
to
as
Phase
1
of
the
proposed
development,
on
the
eastern
side
of
the
Baylands.
The
application
for
the
February
2011
Specific
Plan
was
determined
by
the
City
to
be
“complete.”
The
determination
of
completeness
does
not
have
any
implications
for
whether
the
City
might
approve,
conditionally
approve,
or
deny
the
application
for
the
Specific
Plan,
and
means
only
that
the
application
and
the
proposed
Specific
Plan
meet
applicable
content
requirements,
thereby
permitting
the
City’s
planning
and
CEQA
reviews
to
move
forward.
Content
Requirements
for
Concept
Plans
In
addition
to
the
requirement
for
preparation
and
adoption
of
a
specific
plan,
as
noted
above,
the
Brisbane
General
Plan
requires
preparation
of
a
Concept
Plan
for
development
of
the
entire
Baylands
prior
to
or
in
conjunction
with
the
first
Specific
Plan
for
the
Baylands
subarea.
General
Plan
Policy
329
requires
the
Concept
Plan
to
include
the
following:

3.
An
overall
conceptual
plan,
illustrative

nature,
showing
uses

A
general
description
of
conceptual
uses,
densities,
intensities,
and
locations
consistent
with
the
adopted
General
Plan;
and
A
listing
of
responsible
state,
federal,
or
local
agencies
that
have
jurisdiction
over
the
development
of
the

in
the
manner
contemplated
by
the
Concept
Plan
and
a
description
of
the
studies
to
be
concluded
and
the
issues
to
be
resolved
with
such
agencies.
The
content
requirements
set
forth
in
General
Plan
Policy
329
do
not
require
that
Concept
Plans
include
site
plans
or
identify
specific
building
locations,
orientation,
or
architectural
design
including
building
heights
for
individual
buildings
as
part
of
the
Concept
Plan.
General
Plan
Policy
329
specifically
states
as
follows:
“The
conceptual
plan
need
not
represent
a
commitment
by
the
owner
to
any
form
of
development.
