Summary:

ORDINANCE establishing the north and south sides of the 600 Block of East 16th Street, between Oxford Street and Blount Street, within the City of Houston, Texas, as a Special Minimum Lot Size Block pursuant to Chapter 42 of the Code of Ordinances, Houston, Texas - DISTRICT C - KAMIN

Background:
In accordance with Section 42-197 of the Code of Ordinances, the property owner of 615 East 16th Street, Lots 13-16, Block 112, in the Houston Heights subdivision has initiated an application for the designation of a Special Minimum Lot Size Block (SMLSB). The application includes written evidence of support from the owners of 55% of the block. The Planning and Development Department mailed notifications to all 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. Since no protest was filed in accordance with the Code, no action is required by the Houston Planning Commission, and the application may be submitted directly to the City Council for consideration.

The Planning and Development Department recommends that the City Council adopt an ordinance establishing a Special Minimum Lot Size of 3,550 square feet for the 600 block of East 16th Street, north and south sides, between Oxford and Blount Streets.
