It is intended to guide the <br /> growth of the city over the next decade. San Marcos Horizons is a plan that is based on <br /> the community's vision of what San Marcos can become and how it wants to look in the <br /> future. This community vision is the starting point for an action plan that outlines policy <br /> recommendations for the growth and physical development of the community. It states <br /> the city's goals regarding future land uses and establishes coordination with related <br /> infrastructure master plans. San Marcos Horizons provides the basis for the development <br /> of programs and services that have an impact on the physical development of the city, and <br /> provides direction regarding coordination with other public and private entities on the <br /> implementation of its stated goals. The San ~arcos Horizons jurisdiction includes the <br /> City of San Marcos and its two-mile Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). These two areas <br /> combined cover over 95 square miles. <br /> During the preparation of San Marcos Horizons, a future land use map was prepared for <br /> the City of San Marcos and its two-mile ETJ. The Citizens Advisory Committee was <br /> concerned that the map was too general in nature and did not contain parcel-specific <br /> future land use designations in the city. So the San Marcos Horizons future land use map <br /> was adopted for the ETJ only and the 1983 future land use map for the city (as amended <br /> since 1983) would remain in effect until the sector plans produced parcel-specific maps to <br /> replace the 1983 map. To be certain the sector plans would be prepared a policy was <br /> included in San Marcos Horizons that stated: <br /> <br /> Policy LV-I.3: The City shall not amend the current land use designation of any <br /> property within the city limits solely by the adoption of this Future Land Use Plan; rather, <br /> such land use amendments will only be accomplished by the land use amendment <br /> 1-3 <br />
