Summary
The council adopted an ordinance amending the Palm Cove Planned Unit Development design standards to reduce side‑yard setbacks from six feet to five feet, a change the homeowners association approved 5–0 at its July 9 meeting.
The Mesquite City Council adopted Ordinance B25‑05 on July 22, amending the design standards for the Palm Cove Planned Unit Development to reduce the required side‑yard setback from 6 feet to 5 feet.
Why it matters: The change makes Palm Cove’s design standards consistent with the city’s current code and reflects a homeowners association‑driven amendment intended to align the PUD with prevailing lot patterns and to ease development constraints for remaining lots.
What council approved: Staff said the Palm Cove board of directors approved the amendment at its July 9 homeowners meeting by a 5–0 vote. The council voted to adopt the ordinance after a staff presentation and no public testimony in the hearing.
Process and next steps: The ordinance was introduced at the July 8 meeting and adopted on July 22. The change applies to the Palm Cove PUD design handbook and will be incorporated into city code where PUD standards govern setbacks.
Ending: Council adoption finalizes the reduced side‑yard requirement; staff will update municipal records to reflect the new standard for Palm Cove lots.
