Vision SMTX Comprehensive Plan
PREFERRED GROWTH SCENARIO
INTRODUCTION During the Comprehensive Plan engagement process the community communicated a desire for all areas of San Marcos to meet the daily needs of nearby residents and employees. Many in our community expressed the desire for access to basic needs as well as amenities such as parks, shops, restaurants, trails, and community spaces near where they live. Most notably, people from all over San Marcos identified the need to provide better access to goods and services for those living and working on the east side of IH-35. In addition, many participants cited examples of newer neighborhoods east and west of IH-35 that lack sufficient amenities and services within a reasonable distance. New neighborhoods should strive to include a mix of services within a 10-minute distance by bike or foot. These services within a walking/biking/transit distance would result in more complete places being built.
