'!be area immediately bordering the airport along the west side of SH 21 is projected in the existing Land Use Element to develop as high denSity residential in the currently adopted City of San Marcos Master Plan 1980-2000. The year 2005 noise contours shown on this map do not affect any areas outside of existing airport property. However, the projected high density residential development immediately adjacent to the main approach to San Marcos Municipal Airport could cause future perceived noise problems; particularly as the precision approach to Runway 12 would be immediately adjacent to this projected high density deve1qxnent. '!be remaining area to the west of the airport is shown as developing in primarily low density residential with a minor strip of medium densi ty residential approximately 1 mile from the airport proper. Additionally, the Blanco River flood plain is shown as remaining in permanent open space. No schools presently exist in the immediate vicinity of the airport, nor are there any known to be planned. Pigure 5.3 shows the land use projections for the immediate airport vicinity area as identified in the North San Marcos Service Area/Iand Use Map, developed for the City of San Marcos for the assessment of proposed Municipal Utilities Districts in the area. The land use pattern identified in this map is significantly more compatible with the development plans for the San Marcos Municipal Airport than the land use pattern pIq)OSed for the immediate airport vicinity under the currently adopted Land Use Element. The North San Marcos Service Area/Land Use Map proposes industrial and/or open space land use in the vicinity of all of the runway clear zcmes. The City of San Marcos has already purchased an avigation easement for the clear zone to Runway 12. This is fully compatible with airport development, and represents a significant improvement over the high density residential development proposed under the currently adopted Land Use Element. Thus, the City of San Marcos should consider amending the existing Land Use Element to reflect a similar land use pattern to that identified in the North San Marcos Sel:vi.ce Area/Land Use Map. Cb-A.i%part Land Uses Existing San Marcos Airport land uses consist primarily of those activities which are primarily aeronautical, i.e., runways, taxiways, parking aprons. There is some agricultural and minor industrial develq:ment. 5.6
