COUNTY WATER DISTRICT REGARDING THE PROPOSED
PERMANENT ZONING PLAN FOR THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS
WHEREAS, the City of San Marcos, through the Planning
Commission of said City and the City Council thereof, is considering
a propesed permanent zoning plan, and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the San Marcos County
Water District is aware of said proposed zoning plan and has ex-
amined the same, and
WHEREAS, the proposed zoning plan will provide for the
orderly and systematic development of land and land use within the
San Marcos area, namely the Twin Oaks area and the floor of the San
Marcos Valley, and
WHEREAS, the San Marcos County Water District provides
water and sewer service to areas both within the City of San Marcos
and within those areas outside the City of San Marcos and within
the boundaries of the San Marcos County Water District, and
WHEREAS, a spirit of cooperation, understanding and agree-
ment exists between the City of San Marcos and the San Marcos County
Water District regarding the mutual problems of the City and the
District, and
WHEREAS, the San Marcos County Water District has hereto-
fore constructed both water lines and sewer lines within the areas
to be permanently zoned, and has expended therefor considerable
sums of money, and
WHEREAS, the San Marcos County Water District desires to
be of assistance to the City of San Marcos in utilizing the land
area within the San Marcos Valley to its highest and best use with
proper planning and zoning, together with full utilization of ex-
isting and future planned utilities, including water and sewer.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors
of the San Marcos County Water District as follows:
Section 1: That the City Council of the City of San Marcos
in approving and formulating a planned land use program within the
City of San Marcos, take into consideration the facilities, both
water and sewer, heretofore the constructed by the San Marcos County
Water District and the fact that the facilities so constructed were
constructed with long term general obligation bonds which are paid
for and serviced from taxes levied by the San Marcos County Water
District upon lands both within the City and without the City and
within the District, and that any comprehensive zoning plan take
inot consideration and be cogzizant of the fact that when facilities are
installed by the San Marcos County Water District that said
facilities are designed and installed to a capacity to anticipate
future growth and need; that so far as possible, to be consistant
with proper planning and land use techniques, consideration be given
by the City of San Marcos to the financial commitments that have
been made by the San Marcos County Water District in providing water
and sewage facilities for the San Marcos Valley area.
Section 2: The ability of the San Marcos County Water
District to meet its future financial commitments is dependent upon
future growth of the San Marcos area. Failure of the San Marcos
area to grow in an orderly and progressive manner may result in a
decrease in revenues of the San Marcos County Water District,
affecting this District's ability to meet its financial obligations.
Land use requirements that will aid progressive and orderly develop-
ment within the San Marcos Valley areas will result in greater
assessed valuations and greater revenue from the services so pro-
vided that will enable the San Marcos County Water District ot meet
its financial obligations without the necessity of imposing taxes
that may be detrimental to areas of the San Marcos Valley.
Section 3: The San Marcos County Water District does hereby
pledge its cooperation and assistance in all matters affecting the
City of San Marcos and the District to the end that by cooperation
between the two agencies greater utilization of the facilites owned,
operated and maintained by the two agencies may occur to the benefit
of the residents and taxpayers of both agencies.
Section 4: The Secretary of the San Marcos County Water
District is hereby authorized and instructed to forward a copy of
this resolution to the City Clerk of the City of San Marcos for
distribution to the City Council of the City of San Marcos and for
distribution to the City Planning Commission.
