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.
