ORDINANCE renewing the establishment of the north and south sides of the 1000 - 1100 Blocks of W. Fugate Street and north side of 1000-1100 Block of W. Melwood Street, between Studewood Street and Michaux Street within the City of Houston, Texas as a Special Minimum Lot Size Block pursuant to the Code of Ordinances, Houston, Texas; making findings and containing other provisions related to the foregoing subject - DISTRICT H - CASTILLO

In accordance with Section 42-197 of the Code of Ordinances, the property owner of 1003 W. Melwood Street, Lot 20, Block 123, in the North Norhill subdivision, initiated an application to renew a Special Minimum Lot Size Block (SMLSB).

The Planning and Development Department mailed notifications to sixty (60) 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 unchanged since the original ordinance (2004-162) was passed in 2004.

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 1000-1100 blocks of W. Fugate Street, north and south sides and 1000-1100 blocks of W. Melwood Street, north side, between Studewood and Michaux Streets.
