Minimum lot size and ETJ growth pressure

Council debated whether to cut the 70-foot minimum lot width to 55 or 60 feet to stay competitive with developers, who are increasingly pulling land out of the ETJ (about 5,000 acres lost since 2020) and building smaller-lot subdivisions just outside city limits. The council split 4-3 to keep 70 feet, but the tension between growth, tax revenue, and quality of life isn't resolved.
