DeSoto Road PUD subdivision and rental restrictions

Summary

A 158-acre, 330-home development is coming to north DeSoto Road, and the board used the approval to crack down on rentals — capping them at 10%, banning homes built to be rentals, and requiring HOA review. The mayor argued rentals fuel crime; the builder said spec-building requires occasional rentals.
