ORDINANCE renewing the establishment of the north side of the 800 block of Merrill Street, between Julian Street and Watson Street within the City of Houston, Texas as a Special Minimum Lot Size Requirement Block pursuant to the Code of Ordinances, Houston, Texas - DISTRICT H - CISNEROS

In accordance with Section 42-197 of the Code of Ordinances, the property owner of 815 Merrill Street, Lot 13, Block 12, in the Woodland Heights subdivision, initiated an application to renew a Special Minimum Lot Size Block (SMLSB).

The Planning and Development Department mailed notifications to seven (7) property owners indicating that the SMLSB 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 lot size have remained essentially the same since the original ordinance (2002-0923) was passed in 2002.

The Planning and Development Department recommends that City Council adopt an ordinance renewing a Special Minimum Lot Size of 6,250 square feet for the 800 block of Merrill Street, north side, between Julian Street and Watson Street.
