• Ryan Perkins, 727 W. Hopkins, stated that we have come a long way with the SmartCode, and wished to thank everyone for going through the process and working with all of us. This document hits on all the points. He stated he was in favor of the current condition of the SmartCode. He would like to see a parking management plan included. The architectural standards are important as guidelines and requirements; we need some type of lists that developers can use to move us in the right direction. Monica McNabb, 2006 Martins Crest, represented the SM Board of Realtors. She stated that they felt like everyone should be behind the SmartCode. They felt it will provide a new market/product for the community that is demand. Staff has worked very hard. Collective desire of the community in this code. She shared the same sentiment for wanting to better San Marcos. Dianne Wassenich, 11 Tanglewood, cautioned the Council that lining CM Allen and our parks system with 6 stories or taller building is something that you really need to think about before you allow that. Rob Roark, 1804 Hunter Rd, stated that Portland had the SmartCode and it had detrimental effects. He grew up in Charleston and saw what happened to the businesses that were there before the buildings went up. They had to move because of all the increases in property values. Look at this as a balance. John David Carson - spoke on behalf of himself and his family. They sent a letter in support of this item. Something that has been needed for a long time. Articles 3 & 4 about the 40 acres allows for growth. It is critical to have tl -t3 for these areas and developers have to provide all of them for options. Council has a real opportunity to think about how we will grow. We have been using the • LDC and sprawling single family proposals. This will help not to extend into the ETJ and provide walkable alternatives. Article 4 has been taken out and I don't see the need to do anything else. Parking, SmartCode requires parking on site. Preservation, HPC guidelines are still required. Difference between what is on and off the square. As far as, architectural standards he felt that we needed to get this adopted and we can continue that discussion and incorporate it later.
