Chapter 33, Section 33-222 of the Code of Ordinances, allows for City Council to designate a Landmark or Protected Landmark upon application by the property owner.
The application for Landmark designation of "Mr. & Mrs. Ralph M. Henderson House" at 1419 Kirby Street was initiated by the owners Mr. & Mrs. John Steen.
A public hearing was held on November 17, 2021 by the Houston Archaeological and Historical Commission and there were no objections to the designation. The Houston Archaeological and Historical Commission determined that the application satisfied applicable criteria of the ordinance and unanimously recommended approval of the Landmark designation.
A public hearing date on the designation request was held on Wednesday, April 20, 2022, 9:00 a.m., in the City Hall Council Chambers. Notice of the public hearing date was published in a local newspaper of general circulation.
The Planning and Development Department recommends that City Council approve the designation of 1419 Kirby Street as a Landmark.
