Section 3: Existing Property Conditions Blanco Vista is currently within the City Limits of the City of San Marcos and is zoned Mixed Use District (MU). The subdivision is currently designated on the Future Land Use Map as Mixed Use, Public and Institutional and Open Space. Existing land uses include open space and hike and bike trails, a church, a community amenity center and approximately 104 single - family detached homes. Developed areas of the site include permeable trails, paved trails, paved roads, single - family homes, predominantly native landscaping and public buildings. The Blanco Vista Concept Plan was originally approved in June 2004 with a minor amendment in January 2005. At that time, the Concept Plan was developed based on conventional, straight zoning classifications. In response to the need for flexibility in housing types and to keep up with changing market conditions, Brookfield Residential (formerly Carma Developer) revised the Concept Plan in February 2007 and rezoned the property in April 2007. The zoning was revised from conventional zoning classifications to the Mixed Use (MU) District for the entire property and the Concept Plan was revised to reflect changes related to various residential development standards. In addition, the shift to MU zoning was designed to encourage development of a more sustainable neighborhood capable of creating a mixture of housing types and land uses to promote cultural, lifestyle and socioeconomic diversity. For that reason, Mixed Use is maintained as the base zoning for this PDD. The Blanco Vista PDD is unique in that there are several existing platted sections within the subdivision as well as over 100 different property owners of existing developed parcels within the subdivision including residential homes, the elementary school, a religious facility and the subdivision recreation /amenity center. Also included within the subdivision is the remaining undeveloped land under ownership of Carma Texas, Inc. This PDD shall be applicable to all remaining, unplatted land within the subdivision. The City of San Marcos will be establishing a PDD for the existing platted sections of the subdivision. The following breaks down the platted and unplatted portions of the subdivision: 5
