ORDINANCE renewing the establishment of the north and south sides of the 800 and 900 blocks of Highland Street, between Michaux Street and Watson Street within the City of Houston, Texas as a Special Minimum Lot Size requirement block pursuant to the Code of Ordinances, Houston, Texas - DISTRICT H - CISNEROS

In accordance with Section 42-197 of the Code of Ordinances, the property owner of 818 Highland Street, Lot 4, Block 41, in the Woodland Heights Subdivision, initiated an application to renew a Special Minimum Lot Size Block (SMLSB).

The Planning and Development Department mailed notifications to thirty-six (36) 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 (2003-0909) was passed in 2003.

The Planning and Development Department recommends that the City Council adopt an ordinance renewing a Special Minimum Lot Size of 5,000 square feet for the 800 and 900 blocks of Highland Street, north and south sides, between Michaux Street and Watson Street.
