The PDD and any amendments will be the controlling mechanism for future development unless mutually revoked by all parties involved. 1.2 The PDD meets special circumstances listed in Chapter 4, Article 2 Division 6 of the Land Development Code which states "the land consists of inner city or downtown property that is proposed for redevelopment or infill development, and special design considerations are deemed desirable". 1.3 The PDD is consistent with the City's adopted Future Land Use Map, which designates the property for a High Density Residential land use. 1.4 The PDD provides specific development standards and processes which will apply to all platted or re-platted lots within the overlay district. 1.6 Unless otherwise stated in this Agreement, all development within the PDD shall comply with the Land Development Code. This PDD recognizes the Land Development Code requires any improvements which are within the City of San Marcos' right-of-way, such as signage, bike racks, lighting, etc., will require a license agreement. 1.7 The PDD will be adopted to establish zoning standards and development regulations while ensuring a superior project is developed. 1.8 The PDD is consistent with the goals of the Downtown Master Plan and lies within the boundary of the master plan. The development is also adjacent to Texas State University and within the master plan's defined University Village. It will provide student housing in a location that is within walking and biking distance of the university, therefore aiding in a decrease in urban sprawl and traffic issues associated with urban sprawl. Residents will have goods, services and open spaces in the near vicinity also within walking and biking distance. • 2
