What: Rezoning from commercial and a 53-lot single-family subdivision on 7.21 acres at Deer Springs Way and Oso Blanca Road (Ward 4), by Beazer Homes. The site keeps a legal non-conforming billboard.
Where it stands: Council approved the entire request, deleting the condition that would have required removing the billboard.
Next: Map and building steps follow; the council asked Beazer to consider velvet mesquite trees.

The plan was revised after a neighborhood meeting with the adjoining Timberlake community (55 to 58 attended): lots dropped from 57 to 53, 20 lots moved away from the common wall, a 41-foot buffer, all homes two stories.
A billboard dating from county jurisdiction became legal non-conforming when the land joined the city. Relocating it was not allowed under city code, and a buyout was refused.

Staff recommended approval of the plan change, rezoning and vacation but denial of the gated-community permit, site plan and tentative map: keeping the billboard removes 42 of the 61 required street and perimeter trees (17 remain), which staff called preferential. The Planning Commission recommended approval of everything.
The Timberlake HOA president backed residential use (fewer vacant-lot problems). A resident urged long-lived tree species such as velvet mesquite.

Allen-Palenske said she tried to negotiate a billboard buyout, welcomed houses instead of commercial uses, and moved approval of all parts with condition 1 of the site plan review removed. Carried.

About 20 minutes across 1 meeting (from transcript timestamps; approximate).
