ORDINANCE renewing the establishment of the east and west sides of the 600 and 700 Blocks of Columbia Street, between East 8th Street and White Oak Drive within the City of Houston, Texas as a Special Minimum Lot Size Requirement Block pursuant to the Code of Ordinances, Houston, Texas - DISTRICT C - KAMIN

In accordance with Section 42-197 of the Code of Ordinances, the property owner of 711 Columbia Street, Lot 10, Block 257, in the Houston Heights subdivision, initiated an application to renew a Special Minimum Lot Size Block (SMLSB).

The Planning and Development Department mailed notifications to forty-six (46) property owners indicating that the SMLSB renewal 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, no action was required by the Houston Planning Commission to submit the application to the City Council.

The neighborhood and lot size have remained essentially the same since the original ordinance (2003-0677) was passed in 2003.

The Planning and Development Department recommends that City Council adopt an ordinance renewing a Special Minimum Lot Size of 6,600 square feet for the 600 and 700 blocks of Columbia Street, east and west sides, between East 8th Street and White Oak Drive.
