PLN - Special Minimum Building Line Block Renewal App No. 73REN (1200 Block of Harvard Street, east side, between E. 12th and 13th Streets)

Agenda Item#: 24.


Summary: ORDINANCE renewing the establishment of the east side of the 1200 Block of Harvard Street, between E. 12th Street and 13th Street, within the CITY of Houston, Texas as a Special Minimum Building Line Block pursuant to the Code of Ordinances, Houston, Texas - DISTRICT C - KAMIN


Background: In accordance with Section 42-170 of the Code of Ordinances, the property owner of 1238 Harvard Street, Lot 22 & Tract 23A, Block 188 of the Houston Heights subdivision initiated an application to renew a Special Minimum Building Line Block (SMBLB). The Planning and Development Department mailed out notifications to all 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. In accordance with the Code, since no protest was filed, no action was required by the Houston Planning Commission in order to submit the application to the City Council. The neighborhood and building line have remained essentially the same since the original ordinance (2004-782) was passed in 2004. The Planning and Development Department recommends that the City Council adopt an ordinance renewing a Special Minimum Building Line of 30 feet for the 1200 Block of Harvard Street, east side, between E. 12th and E. 13th Streets. ____________________________ Vonn Tran Director Planning and Development Department


Prior Council Action: Ord. 2004-782, passed on July 28, 2004
