The VisionSMTX Comprehensive Plan rollout was not without controversy. The focus of public comment centered around the feeling of being left out of the planning process as compared to the previous comprehensive plan — Vision San Marcos - A River Runs Through Us. With that in mind, the council provided feedback to city staff, at a previous meeting, that more public outreach should occur before taking action.
As suggested by city staff, the council passed a motion, five to zero with two absent, to postpone voting on the comprehensive plan until after the committee has formulated a recommendation and staff has time to post notice of a public hearing at the regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday.
Council received a staff presentation relaying the roll out for public outreach for the Comprehensive Plan, which is now being referred to as VisionSMTX++ Comprehensive Plan.
