He thanked the Parks Department for their good help. Mr. Cox asked Mr. Barton if their report indicated a preference order and referred to Page,37 regarding the proposed use of the First Christian Church as a senior citizen center. Mr. Barton stated they wanted a senior citizen center that is their own, but there is no preference order listing. Mr. Guerra asked Mr. Barton to explain the demographics in Section 2 of the report, and Mr. Barton stated the demographics were done by population. Mayor Moore thanked the Task Force and stated it is a thoughtful and important report. Mayor Moore introduced a public hearing and adoption of a Zoning ordinance, the caption which was read as follows: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS, AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP OF THE CITY BY REZONING A 146.95 ACRE TRACT OF PROPERTY LOCATED IN THE 2300, 2400 AND 2500 BLOCKS OF HUNTER ROAD, FROM "PDD" (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT) TO THE FOLLOWING: 118.68 ACRES TO "R-1" (SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLING DISTRICT [LOW DENSITY]), 7.79 ACRES TO "MF-4" (MULTI-FAMILY DISTRICT [HIGH DENSITY]), AND 20.48 ACRES TO "C" (COMMERICAL DISTRICT); INCLUDING PROCEDURAL PROVISIONS AND PROVIDING FOR PENALTIES. Mr. Patterson advised this was the TETCO property, which is being rezoned to develop as R-1 close to the middle school. Mayor Moore opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to speak. No one did, so Mayor Moore closed the public hearing. Mr. Guerra moved for adoption of the Zoning Ordinance and Mr. Cox seconded the motion. Ms. Hughson asked Mr. Patterson if MF-4 zoning was okay in this plan, and Mr. Patterson advised-a school and commercial zoning are on one side, but it does back up to single-family dwellings in Laurel Estates. Mr. Cox asked Mr. Patterson about the traffic concerns that have been raised. Mr. Patterson advised the State Highway Department is planning five lanes scheduled to be let in March, 1997, but will funnel down to two lanes. Additional development in this area will compound the traffic problem, and there are no additions in the 5-year CIP. Mr. Patterson stated the R-1 density the developer is now requesting will be less impact than as the property is currently zoned though, and the thoroughfare plan will provide some relief in the future with the MLK extension and wonder world Drive. The Council voted unanimously for adoption of the Zoning Ordinance.
