PLN - Special Minimum Building Line Block Renewal Application: MBL 15REN (1800 block of Cherryhurst Street, north and south sides)

Agenda Item#: 40.


Summary: ORDINANCE renewing the establishment of the north and south sides of the 1800 block of Cherryhurst Street within the City of Houston, Texas, as a special minimum building line requirement block pursuant to Chapter 42 of the Code of Ordinances, Houston, Texas - DISTRICTS C - KAMIN


Background: In accordance with Section 42-170 of the Code of Ordinances, the property owner of Lot 2, Block 16 of the Cherryhurst subdivision initiated an application to renew a Special Minimum Building Line Block (SMBLB). The Planning and Development Department mailed notifications to ten (10) property owners indicating that the SMBLB renewal 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. 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 neighborhood and building line have remained essentially the same since the original ordinance (2001-0097) was passed in 2001. The Planning and Development Department recommends that City Council adopt an ordinance renewing a Special Minimum Building Line of 14 feet 6 inches for the 1800 block of Cherryhurst Street, north and south sides. _______________________________ Margaret Wallace Brown, AICP, CNU-A Director Planning and Development Department
