CITY COUNCIL GOAL:  Economic Development; Quality of Life and Place

 

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ELEMENT(s): Land Use: Goal 1; Neighborhoods & Housing: Goal 4; Economic Development: Goal 4

 

BACKGROUND:  This is a voluntary annexation request submitted by Highpointe Investments, LLC, for approximately 417.630 acres for a mixed-use development also known as Trace.  The site is generally located on the east side of IH-35 and south side of Posey Road, at the southern edge of the City of San Marcos, and will also be bordered by Old Bastrop Highway.  The majority of the site is located within the City’s Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ).  Highpointe Investments, LLC has also requested Planned Development District (PDD) zoning and the creation of a Public Improvement District (PID) to finance the infrastructural needs of the development.

 

The location of the Trace development will make it a southern gateway into the City of San Marcos. The project is planned to consist of employment center uses, commercial uses, and a mixture of residential uses.  Trace anticipates approximately 995 single-family and 850 multi-family units.  Employment Center and commercial uses will be located adjacent to I-35 and provide transition into the residential neighborhoods.  Since the project is located outside of the Loop 110 Transportation Reinvestment Zone, ad valorem and sales tax revenue will go to the City of San Marcos. 

 

The PDD zoning request and proposed Public Improvement District (PID) are being processed concurrently with annexation proceedings.  The PDD will incorporate a number of enhanced design and development standards above and beyond Land Development Code regulations. The PID is proposed to consist of two phases and authorize the funding of improvements including streets, drainage, water and waste water, traffic signals, trails systems, landscaping, and public art.

 

The anticipated date of final action for annexation is October 6th, 2015 due to the applicant’s preference that final action for this request occur at the same meeting as the final actions for the approval of the Planned Development District Zoning and Public Improvement District.
