SECTION 3: CITY PROFILE <br />Comprehensive Plans are guiding documents in a community that sets forth a vision, goals, <br />policies, and guidelines to direct future physical, social, and economic development that will occur <br />within a jurisdiction. Comprehensive Plans are part of a continuous process to provide an <br />environment for the community and to consider the general desire of the community to conserve, <br />preserve, and protect the natural environment of their jurisdiction. These plans are used to guide <br />city staff, decision -makers, and the community in making decisions which affect the community <br />with the understanding of the long-term effects. The Vision SMTX Comprehensive plan for the <br />City of San Marcos notes a major goal of development over the next 30 years to make all areas <br />of San Marcos into complete places, meaning residents have readily accessible community <br />spaces and amenities near where they live. Many residents in newer neighborhoods currently <br />need to drive for nearly all of their trips. In particular, the community's most noted area needing <br />improvement is east of IH -35, as residents who live and work in that area would benefit from better <br />access to goods and services.23 <br />23 Source: www.visionsmtx.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02NisionSMTX_FinalDraft_02.16.23_.pdf <br />City of San Marcos I Hazard Mitigation Action Plan Update 2024 1 Page 12 <br />
