The City of Houston has approved the establishment of a Special Minimum Lot Size Block (SMLSB) for the 800 block of Pecore Street, on the south side between Watson and Julian Streets. The application for this designation was initiated by the property owner of 824 Pecore Street and supported by 71% of the block's property owners. No protests were filed, allowing the application to proceed directly to City Council. The ordinance ensures that the lots within this block maintain a minimum lot size of 6,250 square feet, helping to preserve the character and density of the Woodland Heights Annex neighborhood.
This decision is important for maintaining the existing neighborhood character by preventing the subdivision of lots below 6,250 square feet, which could lead to increased density and changes in the community's dynamics. The ordinance aligns with the goals of preserving the residential nature of the area.
