Neighborhood Character Plans
This spring, residents from across San Marcos have been sharing their ideas at workshops, community events and online about how they’d like to improve the quality of life in their neighborhoods.

What are Neighborhood Character Plans and Why are They Important?
Neighborhood Character Plans give residents the opportunity to have a proactive role in applying the policies from the City's Comprehensive Plan Vision San Marcos in their Neighborhood. Each neighborhood is unique and having an adopted plan in place can provide predictability and improve accountability to ensure neighborhood objectives are realized.

The process for creating Neighborhood Character Plans is tailored to each neighborhood area but generally follows the timeline below. We have just concluded the Visioning and Listening Phase of the project and have begun the process of Synthesizing and Analyzing the input received.

During Neighborhood Workshops
During recent Neighborhood Planning Workshops, residents worked together to identify:
- Areas that make up the character of their neighborhood and are important to preserve;
- Areas that are susceptible to change and;
- Appropriate places for improvements that implement the policies in the City’s Comprehensive Plan, Vision San Marcos.

Workshop participants also brainstormed objectives that would apply four different Goals of the Comprehensive Plan in their neighborhoods by completing the following statements:
- In order to Direct Growth so it is Compatible with Surrounding Uses in our neighborhood, I suggest...
- In order to have a Multimodal Transportation Network that Improves Accessibility and Mobility and Minimizes Congestion ad Reduces Pollution in our neighborhood, I suggest...
- In order to have Diversified Housing Option to Serve Citizens with Varying Needs in our neighborhood, I suggest...
- In order to have a Differentiated Collection of Connected and Easily Navigated Parks and Public Spaces in our neighborhood, I suggest...
Input from these workshops will shape the Neighborhood Character Plans.
