In accordance with Section 42-197 of the Code of Ordinances, the property owner of 625 Merrill Street, Lot 14 and Tract 15A, of the Willborg Subdivision initiated an application for the designation of a Special Minimum Lot Size Block (SMLSB). The application includes written evidence of support from the owners of 68% of the block. The Planning and Development Department mailed notifications to thirty (30) property owners indicating that the SMLSB application had been submitted. The notification further stated that written protest must be filed with the Planning and Development Department within thirty days of mailing. One written protest was filed. The Houston Planning Commission considered the protested application on June 21, 2018 and voted to recommend that the City Council establish the SMLSB.

The Planning and Development Department recommends that City Council adopt an ordinance establishing a Special Minimum Lot Size of 5,796 square feet for the 400-600 block of Merrill Street, north side, and the 600 block of Merrill Street, south side.
