The East Aldine District (the District) has requested to use a 21,207 square foot area (0.4868 acre) of Keith-Wiess Park for storm sewer outfall related to the Aldine Town Center project (the Project).
The Houston Parks and Recreation Department (HPARD) supports this request as it will provide a public benefit by opening access to the park for residents to the north. The multi-use development project will include a roadway and trail connections to the park.
Texas Parks and Wildlife Code Chapter 26 requires the City to publish three public notices and hold a public hearing prior to authorizing the use or taking of park land for non-park purposes. Notices will be published in the Houston Chronicle on November 9, November 16 and November 23, 2016.
The proposed date of the public hearing is Wednesday, November 30, 2016 at 9:00 a.m. in Council Chambers, Second Floor, City Hall, 901 Bagby, Houston, Texas.
HPARD will request Council action to approve an ordinance to make findings relating to the public hearing on December 7, 2016.
