Mayor Craddock introduced for consideration approval of the minutes of the Special Meeting held January 17, 1983. Mr. Brown moved for approval of the minutes and Mr. Farr seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Mayor Craddock opened a public hearing to consider approval of revisions to the proposed Master Plan. City Planner Joe Garza addressed the Coun- cil stating he thought the Plan could be printed and brought to the Coun- cil for adoption in February. He said his only concern about the con- tents of the Master Plan was on the Land Use Map regarding low density. It is presently 1 to 4 single-family dwellings per acre, and he felt it should be increased to 1 to 6 per acre. He also stated if the Master Plan is adopted as presently being considered (1 to 4 single-family dwellings per acre), the interim Zoning Ordinance will neeð to be amended to conform to the Master Plan. John Morrisset stated the low density determination of 1 to 4 single-family dwellings per acre was to keep condominiums and townhouses out of single-family residential areas. City Manager Gonzalez said it could be left as is and as pro- jects developed, zoning changes could be requested. Kelly Kilber stated the 1 to 4 single-family dwellings per acre would decrease the growth of residential a::::-eas in San Marcos, and that the Council should not try to change the Master Plan later. Ken Long said the 1 to 4 desig- nation may not be realistic and would suggest this concern be considered by the Planning Commission before its approval by the Council. Terry Lighthouse said he was in favor of protecting the 1 to 4 low density. Two consultants from Freese and Nichols said they would like to get back with the Council concerning their recommendation. Direction was given that the Planning Commission consider the low density on the Land Use Map and give their recommendation to the Council at the February 14, 1983 regular meeting. No one else wished to speak * John A. Kreczmer and Elida A. Mendez were not present at this meet- ing.
