The City of San Marcos encourages public review and input. 

The City typically holds public workshop meetings on significant projects.  These meetings are not part of the formal project approval process but offer the community an opportunity to learn and engage prior to the formal approval process, including:

• Meet the project applicant and their team
• Meet the City staff assigned to process the project
• Review the scope of the project
• Questions and Answers
• Receive a tentative schedule for the processing of the project
• Receive other project related information

Upcoming workshops  

All public workshops are posted to the city's calendar of events.
