Houston Public Works (HPW) has received a request from Five Corners Management District (the District) for the designation of a Banner District as defined in Section 40-30 of the City of Houston Code of Ordinances. The boundaries of the proposed banner district exist within the City Limits of the area defined as the District. Placement of the banners will be on specific sections of rights-of way within the District as shown in the attached boundary exhibit.
The Code of Ordinances defines that the City Council shall conduct a hearing to consider the merits of the request within 45 days of the date of request filing with the city secretary.
HPW is requesting that a public hearing to be held on December 15th, 2021 to consider the designation of a Banner District in Five Corners Management District.
The District has demonstrated that they meet the criteria to become a banner district:
1. The area has paved streets with rights-of-way not less than 60 feet wide;
2. The land use in the proposed district is primarily nonresidential; and
3. The designation of the proposed district would not endanger the health, safety, welfare and public convenience of the citizens of the city.
