A contested housing project on the edge of More Mesa cleared a county planning panel Wednesday after the builder agreed to reduce the size of the four proposed homes.
Seeking to minimize the effects of the large structures on the sprawling, 300-acre expanse, the Planning Commission unanimously approved a plan that would drop two of the 21-foot-tall homes to one story.
The 3.5-acre property holds a degraded wetland and one single-story home. Under the revised plan, Mr. Maxwell must designate the wetland for third-party conservation and pledge not to build additional homes beyond the four already approved.
