Sector Two Chapter 3 - Tomorrow <br />SECTOR TWO <br />Chapter 3 — Tomorrow <br />Introduction <br />The first step in the San Marcos Horizons sector planning process was to identify the <br />characteristics of Sector Two and to understand the existing conditions that have shaped <br />the area into what it is today. Secondly, stakeholder meetings helped to identify the key <br />issues and challenges in the Sector, as well as the desired vision for the future. The next <br />step in the sector planning process involves the actual development of a future land use <br />plan. <br />The Sector Two future land use plan lays out suggested patterns of land use based on <br />concerns and desires of the stakeholders, adopted policies of the city's master plan, and <br />sound urban planning principles. The future land use plan designates proposed future <br />general distribution, location, character, and extent of the uses of land for housing, <br />business, industry, agriculture, recreation, open space, education, public buildings, other <br />public facilities, and other categories of the public and private uses of the land. The land <br />use patterns in Sector Two have a major influence on transportation, energy consumption, <br />property values, compatible or conflicting adjacent land uses, and possibilities for future <br />growth. <br />The future land use plan serves to guide decisions by the Planning and Zoning <br />Commission and the City Council over public and private development proposals. The <br />future land use plan also lays the foundation for zoning and subdivision regulations which <br />implement the future land use plan. This chapter, "Sector Two Tomorrow" describes the <br />contents of the future land use plan. <br />Adopted: July 23, 2001 3 -1 <br />
