The SpeCific Plans serve as an extension of the General Plan <br />and are to be used as both policy and regulatory documents as detailed proposals for the Bernal <br />Property are developed over time. The Specific Plans are to be used as guides for developing <br />project plans, and projects are to be evaluated by the City for consistency with the Plans. Specific <br />Plan policies will take precedence over more general policies applied elsewhere by the City, <br /> <br />The relationship between the objectives, policies and guidelines used in both Specific Plans are <br />described as follows: <br /> <br />Objective: An objective is a specific end condition that, when attained, helps to <br />achieve the desired or ideal end state. There may be several objectives providing <br />intermediate steps towards achieving these ideal conditions. <br /> <br />16 <br /> <br />Introduction <br />
