Summary
Council approved 49 new single-family homes on 32 acres near Browne Lane. Councilman Mendoza argued the city should require capacity studies from developers so it knows schools, police, fire and parks can handle the added population before approving; the rest of the council relied on agencies to raise objections themselves.
