In accordance with Section 42-170 of the Code of Ordinances, the property owner of Tracts 22A, 23B, 24A and 25A, Block 45 of the Houston Heights Subdivision initiated an application for the designation of a Special Minimum Building Line Block. The application includes written evidence of support from owners of 70% of the block. The Planning and Development Department mailed notifications to four (4) property owners on December 2, 2016 indicating that the SMBLB application had been submitted. The notification further stated that written protests must be filed with the Planning and Development Department within thirty days of mailing. In accordance with the Code, since no protest was filed, no action was required by the Houston Planning Commission in order to submit the application to City Council.
The Planning and Development Department recommends that City Council adopt an ordinance establishing a Special Minimum Building Line of 10 feet for the 2300 block of Ashland Street, east side.
