Executive summary
Second Reading of Ordinance No. 2025-1565, amending San Marcos Municipal Code Chapter 10.33 (Encampments on City Property).
Fiscal Impact
No direct costs are associated with the ordinance, as it addresses issues already encountered by first responders and code enforcement officials.
Environmental Impact
The proposed ordinance does not have the potential to cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and therefore does not constitute a “project” as defined by Public Resources Section 21065, and is exempt from CEQA or other environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15060(c)(3).
