Vision San Marcos Comprehensive Plan

LAND USE AMENDMENTS AND CI TY REGULAT IONS

AMENDMENTS

In order to ensure the intent of this plan and the community driven preferred scenario are

upheld, it is recommended that amendments to this plan be limited. Plan amendments,

called Land Use Amendments, should follow a schedule independent of general requests.

Amendments should be permitted, at a maximum, twice a year at a time determined by

city staff. This schedule should be set and maintained from year to year in order to provide

applicants with consistency.

The review time for applications for amendments should be sufficient to allow staff time

to study the requests for trends and utilize appropriate models and tools offered with this

plan. If locations for amendments are scattered in nature, support should not be given to

the requests. If there is a pattern or trend, staff should consider the intent of this plan and

determine if an amendment is appropriate.

Regulations for public hearing will still apply to amendments to this plan and neighboring

property owners will be notified of proposed amendments. In addition, it is recommended

that notice be sent to all relevant community stakeholders including the neighborhood

representative(s) from the Council of Neighborhood Associations (CONA) on record with

the city.
