<br />Section C. Types of Incentives <br /> <br />1. It is the intent of the City of San Marcos to offer incentives on a case by case basis so that the <br />total package of incentives may be designed specifically for each project which is proposed. This <br />approach will allow the City the maximum flexibility which is necessary to satisfy the unique <br />needs and concerns of each applicant and the needs and concerns of the City and its citizens. <br /> <br />2. The criteria outlined in Section B, above, will be used to determine whether or not it is in the <br />best interests of the City of San Marcos to provide any incentives to a particular applicant. The <br />extent to which a proposed project furthers the goals and objectives of the City of San Marcos <br />and the projected impact of the project on the City will be used to determine the types and value <br />of the incentives provided. <br /> <br />3. The following incentives may be requested and provided by the City Council to the applicant, in <br />the Council's sole discretion: <br /> <br />a. Reduction, elimination or reimbursement of building permit fees, plan review fees and <br />contractor licensing fees. <br />b. Reduction, elimination or reimbursement of processing fees for subdivision, zoning or <br />land use amendments. <br />c. Reduction, elimination or reimbursement of engineering review fees. <br />d.

Establishment, where legally allowed, of certain special districts such as public <br />improvement districts or tax increment financing districts. <br /> <br />Section D.
