Vision SMTX Appendix Adopted 2024

APPENDIX E: PREFERRED GROWTH SCENARIO DEVELOPMENT

· Scenario A which proposed a concentrated dense development in a second city center (“East Village”) that expanded eastward of the existing city. The second city center (“East Village”) would be anchored by a new employment center with adjacent dense housing. This approach would help relieve development pressures on historic downtown assets and core neighborhoods and would establish a pattern of urban villages connected to the second city center (“East Village”) and the rest of San Marcos. Additionally, development would be reserved to strategic infill opportunities and redevelopment in select parts of the existing city footprint. For strategic development in new area east of IH-35, a conservation approach would help to preserve and protect large portions of the Blackland Prairie ecosystem.
