Summary:

ORDINANCE establishing the north and south sides of the 200-400 Blocks of Canadian Street, between Fulton and Helmers Streets, within the City of Houston, Texas, as a Special Minimum Building Line Block pursuant to Chapter 42 of the Code of Ordinances, Houston, Texas - DISTRICT H - CISNEROS

Background:

In accordance with Section 42-170 of the Code of Ordinances, the property owner of 417 Canadian Street, Lot 38 Block 28 of the Lindale Park subdivision, has initiated an application for the designation of a Special Minimum Building Line Block (SMBLB).

 

The application includes written evidence of support from the owners of 52% of the block. The Planning and Development Department mailed notifications to thirty-one (31) property owners indicating that the SMBLB 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 Planning and Development Department recommends City Council adopt an ordinance establishing a Special Minimum Building Line of 24 feet for the 200-400 blocks of Canadian Street, north and south sides, between Fulton and Helmers Streets.
