Summary:

ORDINANCE establishing the north and south sides of the 900 block of Woodland Street, between Michaux Street and Julian Street, within the City of Houston, Texas, as a Special Minimum Lot Size Block pursuant to Chapter 42 of the Code of Ordinances, Houston, Texas - DISTRICT H - CISNEROS

Background:

In accordance with Section 42-197 of the Code of Ordinances, the property owner of 912 Woodland Street, Lot 4 Block 8, in the Woodson Place 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 77% of the block.

 

The Planning and Development Department mailed notifications to twenty-four (24) property owners indicating that the SMLSB application had been submitted. The notification further stated that a 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 and no action was required by the Houston Planning Commission, the application was submitted directly to City Council for consideration.

The Planning and Development Department recommends that City Council adopt an ordinance establishing a Special Minimum Lot Size of 5,000 square feet for the 900 block of Woodland Street, north and south sides, between Michaux Street and Julian Street.
