Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in San Marcos public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
SB 79 density near Sprinter stations
Councilmembers flagged state bill SB 79 as 'the ire of the day' — it could substantially increase density around each of San Marcos's four Sprinter stations. City staff expect maps in a few weeks, and the council plans to fight it.
SB 677 and Local Land-Use Control
Council members warned that SB 677 would raise by-right density from SB 79's seven stories to twelve, eroding local land-use control. The League of California Cities will send an opposition letter.
