The property will become a valuable resource for the nature center planned by the City of San Marcos for <br />development on a distant part of the adjacent PCNA (next to an existing roadway), by offering environmental <br />education and information for people of all ages about the importance of habitat protection for listed species. <br />Maintenance costs of the expanded natural area will be covered by the City of San Marcos out of its <br />general fund. Because the property will be a passive-use park, maintenance costs will be significantly <br />lower than for other public parks. <br />"I'lie]"Pl.. holds the right to purchase the 89.79-acre Barker Tract B-2 parcel, as well as an adjacent 312-acre <br />tract, which extends along the west side of the Barker property and the existing PCNA.
