Vision SMTX Appendix Adopted 2024
APPENDIX D: POLICY BASELINE AND DEVELOPMENT
Policy Issues/Questions for Consideration · How can we diversify the housing stock to provide more housing options and greater affordability? · How can we support “workforce” housing that is not subsidized, but affordable to more low to medium wage earners, including first-time homebuyers? · How can we stabilize neighborhoods prior to major investments to minimize displacement? For example, would a City Displacement Officer position be appropriate? · What lessons learned can SMTX take from Austin’s rapid growth, especially in East Austin? · How can the City support affordable housing/missing middle developers through the development and community review process? · How do we best ensure that all areas of San Marcos maintain or increase housing options for various household incomes, sizes, and configurations? · How do we ensure that the aging population in San Marcos can age in place and/or has appropriate housing options in the future? · What standards should be put in place to ensure all neighborhoods have access to essential services and amenities? What are those essential services and amenities? · How can we address homelessness and protect those at risk for homelessness?
