Background:
In accordance with Section 42-197 of the Code of Ordinances, the property owner of Lot 4, Block 4 of the North MacGregor Oaks Subdivision initiated an application for the designation of a Special Minimum Lot Size Area (SMLSA). The application includes a petition signed from the owners of 12% of the area. There are fifty (50) properties included in the application, however, one (1) lot owned by a government agency was excluded from the response form process. The Planning and Development Department mailed response forms to forty-nine (49) property owners indicating that the SMLSA application had been submitted. The mailing further stated that their response on the form must be filed with the Planning and Development Department within thirty days of mailing. The Department received response forms signed by owners of 61% of the SMLSA in support of the designated proposed area. The Houston Planning Commission considered the application on August 24, 2017 and voted to recommend that the City Council establish the SMLSA.
The Planning and Development Department recommends that City Council adopt an ordinance establishing a Special Minimum Lot Size of 18,990 square feet on fifty (50) lots in portions of the North MacGregor Oaks and Timbercrest Subdivisions.
