Background:
In accordance with Section 42-197 of the Code of Ordinances, the property owner of 1006 Aurora Street, Lot 17 and Block 46, of the Houston Heights Subdivision 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 75% of the block. The Planning and Development Department mailed notifications to thirty-three (33) property owners indicating that the SMLSB application had been submitted. The notification further stated that 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 and no action is required by the Houston Planning Commission, the application may be submitted directly to City Council for consideration.
The Planning and Development Department recommends that City Council adopt an ordinance establishing a Special Minimum Lot Size of 5,880 square feet for the 900-1000 block of Aurora Street, north and south sides.
