San Marcos Creek Specific Plan

San Marcos Creek District - A Downtown for San Marcos

The San Marcos Creek Specific Plan represents an effort to create a downtown for San Marcos. The plan outlines planning framework for future growth and redevelopment of the approximately 214-acre area along San Marcos Creek.

The Specific Plan, which has been developed with a thorough analysis of environmental conditions and input from City decision-makers, landowners, neighbors and the community-at-large, provides a comprehensive vision for the downtown Creek District along with goals, policies and development standards to guide future public and private actions relating to the area's development and conservation of open space and natural resources.

The plan also serves as a way to insure that future downtown development will be coordinated and occur in an orderly and well-planned manner.

The San Marcos Creek Specific Plan appears below in its entirety.
