Community of San Marcos

San Marcos Community/District Plan Purpose

The San Marcos District is a quiet, rural community of loosely grouped neighborhoods where residential growth has been rapid and largely unplanned in recent years. The district has extraordinary landscapes and open vistas, limited water resources, and a sense of enduring quiet privacy. It is currently home to a diverse cross-section of individuals and families who want to maintain the district’s rural character.

Residents have expressed concern about the gradual loss, within the district, of rural character, the depletion and degradation of its water supply and other resources, and the general impact of an increasing population.

The purpose of the planning process is to bring the community together to discuss shared values and concerns so that the community can craft a plan that will guide future growth in the district.

The function of the plan is to produce and maintain land use ordinances in order to promote the quiet, rural, community. The ordinance regulations will guide the location and scale of commercial and residential development, public facilities and infrastructure, as well as protect the water supply, open vistas, and other natural resources.
