Specific plans guide development for certain geographic areas of Walnut Creek. The plans include development standards and policies. They are consistent with the General Plan, but tailored to the areas. The development standards in a specific plan may include new or changed land use designations. Specific Plan standards amend the General Plan and supersede the zoning designations.  

If your property is within the boundary of a specific plan, it is likely subject to the plan’s policies and land use designations.
