A handful of Mission Royale residents protested floor plans for new, smaller homes in the subdivision at Thursday night’s Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.
Resident Mark Ivy said he objected to having the smaller “budget” homes built near his neighborhood. Residents who bought homes in Mission Royale expected and paid for a luxury product. He knew that additional family homes would be built in the community but said the designs proposed by Meritage Homes were half the size of existing homes and didn’t fit in with the rest of the community.
The floor plans proposed by Meritage Homes would range in size from 1,218 to 2,677 square feet. According to multiple real estate websites, homes for sale in Mission Royale range from about 1,400 to more than 2,000 square feet.
