Background Information:
The majority of the subject property is currently located outside the City Limits in the San Marcos Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). There is an approximately 30 foot wide strip of land along the southeastern property line that was annexed and zoned Future Development “FD” in 2008 as part of a wastewater line extension and easement. The property is currently vacant and is adjacent to rural/vacant property and a few commercial/warehouse structures along Redwood. The property is also across the street from the La Vista retirement community, a proposed multifamily project along Redwood Road, and also abuts Hwy 123. The purpose of this zoning change is for the development of a potential residential multifamily project or other allowable uses in CD-5.
The City of San Marcos will provide water and wastewater services at the site. The developer will be responsible for extending water and wastewater facilities through the site. Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative will provide electric service to this development. This zoning request is being processed concurrently with an annexation request for the property.
