The Houston Parks and Recreation Department (HPARD) recommends sale of a 0.268-acre park site known as Studemont Spaceway to the adjacent developer, BKR Memorial who will repurpose the site as part of the Buffalo Heights mixed use development project.
Texas Parks and Wildlife Code Chapter 26 requires the City to publish three public notices and hold a public hearing prior to authorizing the use or taking of park land for non-park purposes. Notices will be published in the Houston Chronicle.
Chapter 253 of the Local Government Code also requires a public hearing followed by a 60-day petition period.
At a later date, an ordinance will be presented to Council to make findings relating to the public hearing.
The proposed date for the public hearing to meet the requirement of both Texas Parks and Wildlife Code Chapter 26 and Chapter 253 of the Local Government code is April 6, 2022.
