What happened
City council members rejected a proposal to build more than 1,200 homes on a site covering over 700 acres in Manvel. The council cited concerns about overcrowding and traffic. Manvel Mayor Dan Davis noted that much of the area is zoned for rural preservation, which limits construction to one home per acre.

Why it matters
The rejection of the high-density housing plan limits the potential residential supply in the Manvel area. This decision occurs as the population in Manvel has grown significantly, from about 5,000 in 2010 to nearly 23,000 currently.
