I Policy on Expanded Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Subdivision and Platting Review Adopted by City Council August 21, 2007 The City Council of San Marcos declared its population to be over 50,000 people effective July 17,2007. This extended the City's Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) an extra 1.5 miles from its current 2 miles from the city limits. The City of San Marco's subdivision standards and platting process will apply to all property in the ETJ as per current Interlocal Agreements, executed in 2002, with all four counties in which the City has jurisdiction. These agreements are to be reauthorized effective January 1,2008. Discussions are currently in progress with these Counties to facilitate this action. A number of property owners who had projects underway or were contemplating projects may have been taken by surprise. To minimize any hardships which may have been created by the expansion of the ETJ, staff is proposing a transition period for municipal review. This transition period will also provide time for collaboration with the affected counties so that changes can be made in an orderly and consistent manner. Summary for land within the expanded ET J - who reviews what and when (See attached map) I 1. Active subdivisions already in the county review process remain with county until acceptance. 2.
