The City of Houston has approved the renewal of the Special Minimum Lot Size Block (SMLSB) for the 1000 and 1100 blocks of East 16th and Peddie Streets, between Studewood, Michaux, and North Main Streets. The application was initiated by the property owner of 1022 Peddie Street and supported by the neighborhood. The lot sizes and neighborhood characteristics have remained unchanged since the original ordinance passed in 2004. This renewal ensures that the lots within this area maintain a minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet, preserving the character and density of the North Norhill subdivision.
This renewal is crucial to maintaining the existing neighborhood character and preventing the subdivision of lots below 5,000 square feet, which could increase density and impact the community dynamics. The ordinance supports preserving the residential nature of the North Norhill area.
