In accordance with Section 42-197 of the Code of Ordinances, the property owner of 720 East 24th Street, Lots 10 and 11, Block 68, of the Sunset Heights 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 79% of the block. The Planning and Development Department mailed notifications to twenty-seven (27) 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 11, 2020 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 3,000 square feet for the 700 block of East 24th Street, north and south sides.
