In accordance with Section 42-197 of the Code of Ordinances, the President of the Riverside Civic Association which encompasses the 2200 and 2300 blocks of Wentworth Street, lots 1, 7 to 11, tracts 2, 2A, 3, 3A, 4, 4A, 5, 5A, 6 and 6A, block 8 and lots 12 to 20, 22, tracts 21 and 21A, Block 7, of the Riverside Terrace Section 1 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 53% of the block. The Planning and Development Department mailed notifications to twenty-one (21) 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. Since no protest was filed, in accordance with the Code, no action is required by the Houston Planning Commission, and the application may be submitted directly to City Council for consideration.

The Planning and Development Department recommends that City Council adopt an ordinance establishing a Special Minimum Lot Size of 6,000 square feet for the 2200 and 2300 blocks of Wentworth Street, north and south sides.
