ORDINANCE renewing the establishment of the east and west sides of the 800 block of Columbia Street, between East 9th and East 8th Streets, within the City of Houston, Texas, as a Special Minimum Building Line Requirement Block pursuant to the Code of Ordinances, Houston, Texas - DISTRICT C - KAMIN

In accordance with Section 42-170 of the Code of Ordinances, the property owner of 822 Columbia Street, Lot 18 Block 251 of the Houston Heights subdivision, has initiated an application to renew a Special Minimum Building Line Block (SMBLB).

The Planning and Development Department mailed notifications to twenty-four (24) property owners indicating that the SMBLB 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. One (1) written protest was filed. The Houston Planning Commission considered the protested application on April 27, 2023, and voted to recommend that the City Council establish the SMLSB.

The neighborhood and building line has remained unchanged since the original ordinance (2002-1091) was passed in 2002.

The Planning and Development Department recommends City Council adopt an ordinance renewing a Special Minimum Building Line of 17 feet for the 800 block of Columbia Street, east and west sides, between East 9th and East 8th Streets.
