The San Marcos City Council indicated support for a new Clean Air Ordinance during its regular Tuesday meeting.
After many complaints about a manufacturing odor, the Clean Air Ordinance was brought to the councilmembers to provide regulations for the emission of air contaminants and controlling or abating air pollution.
The ordinance creates associated offenses and penalties as well for odors and particulate emissions.
Staff confirmed that the ordinance would apply to businesses and not homes.
The next step will be a second vote at a future city council meeting.
In other business, the councilmembers also approved an ordinance to rezone 72.85 acres of land located on Harris Hill Road to a Manufactured Home District where people can lease the lot and own or rent a manufactured home.
