Description: This feature reflects data gather to inform the Code SMTX project. With two major goals of the Vision San Marcos Comp Plan as guidance: 1) Relieve development pressure on existing neighborhoods and the San Marcos River and 2) Protect existing neighborhood character within areas of stability. During this outreach endeavor, the city conducted eight separate workshops and placed large maps in various public places. Brand Your Neighborhood (BYN) was the first phase in conjunction with the Code Rodeo. Neighborhood Kits, created for each of the six neighborhood planning areas (Eastern, Heritage, Northern, Northwest Hills, Western and Willow Creek), were made available to the public from October 2014 to March 2015. Each kit contained neighborhood scale maps of Assessed Value, Land Use Suitability, Neighborhoods, Parks & Public Places, Existing Sidewalks, and Existing Zoning. Neighbors were asked to document possible Assets (strengths), Constraints (weaknesses), and Opportunities for improvement for their neighborhood by making comments and marking sites with corresponding colored dots on the maps. The next phase invited residents to a neighborhood location to work together to provide even more input. Again, maps were provided for citizens to make comment; this time with they were asked to provide information about what/ where in their neighborhood needs improvement, change or should remain stable. In conjunction with these Plan Your Neighborhood (PYN) workshops a large (4’x8’) map of each neighborhood area was on display in various locations throughout the city for anyone to make comment on. Each point is a comment, recorded verbatim and geocoded. Some comments were for specific places, while others were about areas, in this case the point was placed in the center of the generalized area. Comments were coded based on 1) Comprehensive Plan Elements (Economic Development, Land Use, Neighborhoods and Housing, Transportation and Parks, Public Spaces and Facilities); 2) the comment type (Asset- green dot, (i.e. Parks, Important Streets, Civic Institutions, Meeting Places), Constraint- red dot (i.e. Abandoned Buildings, Dangerous Routes, Eye-sore, Environmental Hazards) and Opportunity- blue dot (i.e. Empty Lots, Public Space that needs improving, An amenity that your community needs); 3) Area/ location; 4) Participants’ name.
