In accordance with Section 42-197 of the Code of Ordinances, the property owner of the 1225 block of Oxford Street, Lot 6, Block 191, in the Houston Heights subdivision, initiated an application to renew a Special Minimum Lot Size Block (SMLSB).
The Planning and Development Department mailed notifications to eleven (11) 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 (2004-474) was passed in 2004.
The Planning and Development Department recommends that the City Council adopt an ordinance renewing a Special Minimum Lot Size of 6,600 square feet for 1200 block of Oxford Street, west side, between E. 12th and E. 13th Streets.
