   This Article governs the development and administration of the Hidden Springs planned community, as shown on the Hidden Springs zoning map and the Hidden Springs master land use plan. Where issues arise that are not covered under this Article, or where this Article specifically references other sections of this code, such other sections of this code shall apply and govern. This Article shall not apply to any land not incorporated within the Hidden Springs planned community boundary.

   A.   Scope And Content: This Article shall consist of the text hereof and the Hidden Springs zoning map, identified herewith, which zoning map is now filed in the office of the recorder of Ada County and in the Ada County development services department. For the purpose of administration and enforcement, the zoning map in the Ada County development services department shall be considered as an official zoning map. Any and all amendments to the Hidden Springs zoning map shall be made concurrently on the zoning map in the Ada County development services department and made concurrently with the amendment being recorded with the Ada County recorder.

   The approved Hidden Springs specific plan, as it may be amended, is now filed in the office of the Ada County development services department.

   B.   Flexibility: The development standards and design guidelines contained in the Hidden Springs specific plan, including, without limitation, the master land use plan, and this Article are intended to depict the general nature and relative intensity of residential and nonresidential development in Hidden Springs, while allowing sufficient flexibility at the time of detailed planning and platting so that the overall goals and policies and purpose and intent of the Hidden Springs planned community can be achieved. The configuration and densities of development parcels and phases may be altered from those shown on the Hidden Springs master land use plan to accommodate market, financing, site and other conditions and revisions to the project's implementation strategy providing that the reconfiguration does not conflict with the zoning map, specific restrictions contained within subsection 8-13D-5E of this Article, or the general intent of the Hidden Springs specific plan and this Article. Residential uses and density may also be transferred between development parcels as depicted on the master land use plan providing this transfer does not conflict with the zoning map, specific restrictions contained within subsection 8-13D-5E of this Article, or the general intent of the Hidden Springs specific plan and this Article. The responsibility for such interpretation shall rest with the Director.

   C.   Conflict Of Laws: In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this Article shall be exclusive requirements under this code for development within Hidden Springs.

   D.   Codification: This Article shall be codified in this code.

   E.   Phased Development: This Article is intended to regulate all development and improvement of Hidden Springs but is not intended to regulate the bulk sale and conveyance of raw land to subdevelopers. Subdevelopers intending to develop land within Hidden Springs, or any portion thereof, are subject to the Hidden Springs specific plan and this Article.

   F.   Changes To Hidden Springs Property Boundary: From time to time, the Hidden Springs property boundary may change due to additions of property into, or transfer of property out of, the Hidden Springs planned community. To the extent any maps or figures contained within this Article contain an outline of the boundary of the Hidden Springs planned community, such depiction shall be for illustrative purposes only.
