implementing ordinances.
2. To promote the highest contemporary standards of site design.
3. To adapt to specific or special development conditions that occur from time to
time while continuing to implement the Specific Plan and conform development
to the General Plan and implementing ordinances.
4. To facilitate complete documentation of land use entitlement authorized and
conditions pertinent thereto.
5. To adapt to substantial changes that may occur with respect to the circumstances
under which the project is undertaken.
