Background Information:
The property is currently owned by McCoy’s Building Supply and located adjacent to their Corporate Office. The applicant is proposing to construct a special event facility for retreats and training.
The Special Event Facility is a new use in the San Marcos Development Code which is subject to the requirements in Section 5.1.5.9. These requirements include: minimum lot size of 5 acres, transitional protective yards along all internal lot lines, compliance with the Noise sections of the Code, parking lot screening from the right of way, and the facility may not hold a TABC license. The Code also requires a site and floor plan be approved with the Conditional Use Permit (see attached). The development will be substantially similar to what is shown in the packet, with minor modification as may be required by Code when a detailed site / building permit is reviewed.
The subject property is not in a single-family area, therefore additional votes described in 5.1.5.9.B.8 are not required.
According to the applicant the proposed “Retreat Center is intended to be used for corporate training events by McCoy Corporation, company celebrations, and other similar private gatherings. The Retreat will provide not only a facility to house these events but will also incorporate outdoor natural areas such as trails, a fishing pond, and meadows that will allow visitors to enjoy the natural beauty of the property while continuing their career development.”
