Vision San Marcos Comprehensive Plan

The City’s Code of Ordinances also addresses updating the plan. Map and plan amendments

are permitted in the code following the process of public hearing, currently called Land Use

Amendments. There is an additional provision in the Code regarding the Planning and Zoning

Commissions review of the plan:

“SECTION 1.4.1.5 PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION’S ROLE IN REVIEWING THE MASTER PLAN

It is the responsibility of the Planning and Zoning Commission to perform ongoing review of the

City’s Master Plan, including:

• (a) Holding an annual public hearing on the plan and recommend any necessary or

desirable changes to the Council;

• (b) Holding public hearings and making recommendations to the Council regarding updates

to the land use and transportation elements of the plan at least once every three years; and

• (c) Holding public hearings and making recommendations to the Council regarding the

update of the entire Master Plan document at least once every ten years.”
