Background Information:
The site is currently located outside the City limits in the Extra-territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). An application for annexation is being considered concurrently with this request (AN-22-20). The zoning request is made up of five separate parcels, all of which are part of the San Marcos Air, Rail and Truck (“SMART”) Terminal Development Agreement, which was originally approved in 2019 and then amended on January 17, 2023 to include these additional parcels. The request is consistent with the Heavy Industrial uses in the approved Development Agreement. The revised Development Agreement and associated staff presentation and meeting materials for the Council January 17th regular meeting can be found at the following link: <https://san-marcos-tx.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=5992444&GUID=6531CEE6-087C-4281-969F-7D41FC50252E&Options=&Search=>
