Vision SMTX Comprehensive Plan Adopted 2024
A COMMUNITY-BASED VISION
HOW TO USE THIS PLAN The Vision SMTX Comprehensive Plan (Plan) is intended to be a user-friendly plan to guide city staff, elected and appointed officials, the private development community, and the general public. The Plan is organized into five major sections and followed by a series of technical appendices. SECTION 1: A COMMUNITY-BASED PLAN This section provides an overview of historical growth and factors driving that growth, especially in more recent years. It also provides an overview of the planning process which was utilized in the creation of this document. SECTION 2: OUR VISION FOR EQUITABLE AND COMPATIBLE GROWTH The community’s updated vision is introduced in the second section of the plan. It is accompanied by a set of Guiding Principles that were used throughout the planning process to guide decision making and weigh trade-offs. Section 2 also includes a set of goals, actions, and objectives for each of the Planning Elements that support and help to achieve the Vision and Guiding Principles. SECTION 3: PREFERRED GROWTH SCENARIO The third section of the Plan builds on the land use intensity matrix developed as part of the Vision San Marcos: A River Runs Through Us Comprehensive Plan. This section includes many of those key concepts with the introduction of overlays and Place Types. Place Types are a combination of high-level land use and land use intensity that help to communicate desired development qualities and patterns across San Marcos.
