From Times staff and wire reports

City Council members approved a development company’s plan to build more than 1,000 executive-style homes in a slice of pastoral north San Diego known as the “urban reserve.” Voting unanimously Tuesday to approve the 4,200-acre Black Mountain Ranch project, the City Council paved the way for the first phase of a two-phase development by Potomac Investment Associates. The project lies in the city’s northern urban reserve, where all but low-density development must be approved by voters. The project meets restrictions of one home per four acres. The developer’s agreement with the city calls for construction of 1,217 executive homes and 195 units of low-income housing.
