A controversial student housing development — the 75 Sylvan Project — has been denied once again.
On Tuesday evening, the San Marcos City Council voted 7-0 to deny a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for a purpose built student housing complex located in the 100 Block of South Guadalupe Street between West San Antonio Street and West MLK Drive.
The unanimous vote follows San Marcos’ Planning and Zoning Commission’s 7-1 vote to deny the CUP on May 28. Then on June 18, council postponed a vote on the project and created a committee consisting of Mayor Jane Hughson, Councilmember Melissa Derrick and Councilmember Joca Marquez to review the project. According to the agenda item, the committee met on July 22, but there was no resolution.
