In accordance with Section 42-197 of the Code of Ordinances, the property owner of 618 Ridge Street, Lot 2, Block 7, of the Woodland Terrace Subdivision initiated an application for the designation of a Special Minimum Lot Size Area (SMLSA). The application included a petition signed by the owners of 20% of the area.
The Planning and Development Department mailed response forms to fifty-one (51) property owners indicating that the SMLSA application had been submitted. The mailing further stated that their response on the form must be filed with the Planning and Development Department within thirty days of mailing. The Department received response forms signed by owners of 61% of the SMLSA in support of the designated proposed area.
The Houston Planning Commission considered the application on June 27, 2024, and voted to recommend that City Council establish the SMLSA with a modified boundary by removing the 600 block of Ridge Street, south side, between Reagan and N. Sabine Streets from the original boundary.
The Planning and Development Department recommends that City Council adopt an ordinance establishing a Special Minimum Lot Size of 5,000 square feet on fifty-one (51) lots in portions of Woodland Terrace and Woodland Heights.
