In accordance with Section 42-197 of the Code of Ordinances, the property owner of 711 Ridge Street, Lot 11 Block 9, in the Woodland Terrance Subdivision, has initiated an application for the designation of a Special Minimum Lot Size Block (SMLSB). The application includes written evidence of support from 56% of the block owners.
The Planning and Development Department mailed notifications to sixteen (16) 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. One (1) written protest was filed. The Houston Planning Commission considered the protested application on August 10, 2023, and voted to recommend that the City Council establish the SMLSB.
The Planning and Development Department recommends City Council adopt an ordinance establishing a Special Minimum Lot Size of 5,000 square feet for the 700 block of Ridge Street, north and south sides, between Watson and Reagan Streets.
